I have never questioned the ability of women. If everyone feels that way maybe we can do away with affirmative action now. what do you think?
What I would like to ask Kate Kelly is if she wanted both the priesthood and the Book of Mormon, why didn't she join the Community of Christ: problem solved. Perhaps she merely wanted martyrdom. In which case, why should I be sympathetic to passive/aggression?
So what is it you want by being intolerant of choices you don't like?
"Please let's get this idea out of our heads that women can do anything."
Women can do almost anything that men can do...
"As an example, The Navy Seals just concluded an exhaustive study about women in specialty combat roles and guess what, they concluded that women (even the elite) are incapable of the rigorous requirements demanded of them in such roles."
There are some women who are strong enough to do those tasks (Wonder Woman comes to mind)...
"Now, before you call me a neanderthal, some of these same jobs and roles preclude some men as well."
"They can't hold the LDS Priesthood which shuts them out of any meaningful leadership in the LDS church whether it's a local position like a Bishop or a worldwide position like being an apostle."
Tell us...how many female apostles did Christ have in His Church when he dwelt on the earth?He set the example for the Church leadership configuration. Furthermore, females have their work cut out for them...
"My personal belief is that not only are woman great business leaders as per the article, they would also make great spiritual or ecclesiastical leaders."
And what would men do if women took over Church leadership positions?Sit home watching TV?
You're comparing giving birth to hitting a baseball?Really?
Totally, I mean, what has my mother ever done for me that might be considered a blessing, right?
The Proclomation on the Family reads that "men and women both roles." Yet somehow, many believe that it's wrong for women to work outside the home?I wonder if some men are intimidated by having a wife who has a successful career?
 There are several jobs in society that women just plain can't do because of their physical limitations.  Wow!Now there's a revelation. With this in mind, why would we lie to little girls and tell them they can be Navy Seals?
Christ chastised his apostles for arguing about who was more important and then taughtWhite men are not inherently evil!
Women can do anything...
It's reassuring to see other posters saying exactly what I thought when I read the story's headline!
Great to see such a story of success and how one woman is serving as a role model to both men and women to show how women can and are breaking out of the traditional roles that the LDS still seems to sadly encourage - "woman must be subservient to men at all times yet be leaders in their families"
kranny - my thoughts exactly. Apparently society must constantly be reminded that other peoples are not inferior to the evil white males. The very act of assuming other peoples are inferior is what is making them inferior in the eyes of society!
This isn't news...women have always been able to do anything. Unfortunately, too many have bought into the false media craze that women are somehow inferior with less fulfilling rolls in our society. The world is messed up in its way of thinking!


NEW ORLEANS — Senator John McCain finally made it to an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday morning for a tour and photographs that his campaign hoped would be worth, if not 1,000 words, then at least two — "drill now," Mr. McCain's mantra in recent weeks.
told the crowd.
But they both sped through their campaign days and refused to entertain questions about their choices.
Mr. McCain used his appearance on the rig, 150 miles south of New Orleans and 200 feet above the water, to sound his call for more offshore drilling as a way to fight this summer's record high gas prices, even though it will take an estimated five to seven years for new drilling to affect American consumers.
,' " Mr. McCain said. "He's wrong, and the American people know it." Mr. McCain added that the oil rig sat above a field of 160 million barrels of oil and was capable of producing 55,000 barrels of oil daily.
Despite the urgency that Mr. McCain attached to the problem, Democrats noted that he had missed every vote on a 2007 energy bill that. Mr. McCain also missed all eight votes on a renewable energy bill that was defeated last month.
Mr. Obama also dropped into his speech the name of one of the purported front-runners to be hi, who returned Monday from a weekend trip to the Georgian capital, Tbilisi. Mr. Obama endorsed Mr. Biden's call to provide $1 billion in reconstruction aide for the people of Georgia.

BEIRUT — Beirut at 92.
Patriarch Hazim was named Greek Orthodox patriarch of Antioch and All The East in 1979. His church is.
Patriarch Hazim grew up in the Syrian town of Maharda. His remains will be sent from Lebanon to Syria for burial.
He studied in France, and after his return to Lebanon cofounded to an Orthodox Church-funded university, a first in the Middle East, the University of Balamand.
He was appointed bishop for Lattakia in 1979 and was elected patriarch nine years later.


Lehigh County Executive candidate Scott Ott would allow 85 year-old women to starve rather than borrow money for their meals from the Commies. His fans don't like it when I point this out, but that's pretty much exactly what he said when he voted to refuse CDBG funding that would feed our seniors. I gave him an opportunity to explain himself, but he has yet to respond to my request.
Northampton County Council candidate Hayden Phillips was at Scott Ott's fundraiser over the weekend. Given his Agenda 21 views and outright opposition to regionalism, I am concerned that Phillips and Ott might very well be two peas in a pod.
One of the questions I've posed to Council candidates asks whether they would reject CDBG funding.
Get use to him he will be elected to county council.
He has a good shot, I agree.
Scott is a great American. One who can plainly see thru the bs hype of so called old people and the non existent poor.
It's their fault they are old and it's their fault if they are poor so we need not solve their problem for them.
Let them waste away and thus solve their own problems.
The more you rail, Bernie, the more I like him. You endorsed the ilk of John Edwards, Joe the Bethlehem Wife Strangler, and Himmler wannabe Ron Angle. Your reverse endorsements are quite instructive. Many thanks.
Everyone knows this blog is nothing more than a gossip monger's paradise. Bernie is paid to put up a false story and the classless slobs race to see who can post the most vile comment (anonymously of course).
As far as predictions go... ...even a broken clock is right twice a day!
If I am paid to put up false stories I won't collect a nickel for this. Everything I've written is true. Hayden Phillips appears to be a Scott Ott Republican. It is important that voters know that so that their choices are informed.
I would suggest that the murderer of the old will be found in our White House
What is he doing in Lehigh County? I thought he was running in Northampton County.
Agenda 21 conspiracy theorist whack jobs are extremely dangerous. The fact that so many tea partiers endorse these whacky conspiracies takes credit away from an otherwise useful movement.
Bernie, your blog is really on the edge of gratuitous dead horse beatdown and an endless drone of hit pieces. It loses its interest and value after a while.
We know you don't like Scott Ott and various other people. It only takes one blog post to understand it because you write well. We get it.
I'd offer that your readers are looking for some new content instead of yet another TM post, or yet another Gregory post.
6000 hits on a Gregory post tells me you're wrong.
No it is not about The ratings. But you are the person who tried to claim there is no public interest and you happen to be wrong.
Hayden Phillips is a Republican breath of fresh air. he is upfront and honest about where he stands on things. You know what you are getting with him and he should be congratulated for that. The other tea partiers Benol, Gessinger and Vaughn are now "reformed" tea partiers. So don't worry they won't hold fast to all the things they have been assaying before they started to run for office.
Four years ago none of the current Republican council members stated they were going to join with the secret Stoffa/Angle plan to sell off Gracedale.
After they were elected and new to county office within a month they were all on board. They then lied and said they claimed it during their campaigns. I guess whispering something in an empty room should mean something.
This new crop are either rejecting the tea party principles or hiding what they really are. Which is it? Rhino or dishonest??
Hayden Phillips the only real Republican in the race. Send a message to the others.
Sorry but at least Hayden has his honesty as for the rest, we won't be fooled again.
Ott will never win in Lehigh County too many Republicans against him mark my word.
""
He'll have the tea party, the churches and some establishment Rs. I can't think of a single Dem who would be willing to vote for him. But Lehigh is far more conservative than Northampton.
""
You never been in Lynn Township!
That's true. Is there a Democrat in Lynn Township?
Hayden is still the only Republican I will vote for in Northampton County race.
"Is there a Democrat in Lynn Township?"
The union guy that showed up at the Allentown City Council meeting?

Neil mentioned that I even named the System/36's that I worked with in a previous job. He neglected, however, to give the names of those systems.
When I worked at SSA, we had boring system names … SSAUSCH1, SSAUSCH2, etc, but we gave them a little spice by changing "SSAUSCH" to "Sausage" … so we referred to systems as "Sausage 1", "Sausage 2", etc.
[tags]Names, iSeries, AS/400, IBM[/tags]
PreviousPrevious post: News Server
NextNext post: SOA? WOA!
4 Replies to "What's in a name?"
We use names like the original name of the first company that the owner started, Concepts
Then we have iSeries dedicated to the transaction processing that we provide to our customers. They are AUTHxxyy where xx is the city such as CH for Chicago, and yy is the State, such as IL for Illinois. We here in CA call it AuthCHIL, brrr…
So we have systems like "FIBAOW", SPEAOW" or "LAGAOL" and "LAGOLA".
Our windows pcs and servers follow the same sheme.
"PCAOW92" or "SVAOW03"
But that naming sheme was decided 10 years before i even knew what an iseries is 🙂
Yet another system was installed on the very day the name of the Dutch little princess Amalia was announced. It was a system with two partitions. The partitions were called AMALIA and CATHY (a popularized version of Amalia's second name, Catherina).
Our systems are named after star trek:
borg – the AS/400. You will be assimilated. (Ironic, as we were initially a UNIX shop!)
sulu – the data warehousing machine. (RS/6000)
spock – the data repository
(we used to have other machines, now retired: kirk, scotty, bones, starbase, klingon.)
At another place I worked, the machines all had names from the flintstones. (fred, barney, wilma, betty, bambam, pebbles, dino, etc)

Sco Guess who has two thumbs and is running behind schedule today?This guy. But, I've got a very good reason for it. I have just returned from an amazing time at Diabetes Training Camp's Type 2 Boot Camp, and I collected a ton of information and videos that I'm excited to share with you today. And, I've been trying to crunch it all together, and I can only show you, like scratch the surface, on everything that I've got because I just ran out of time and there are so many amazing people that I met and talked with and were inspired by. I mean, I'm just kind of overflowing with, as the banners and posters at DTC's event say, the "magic of the event."
Tina Andrus: Well, my name is Tina Andrus. I'm a native Texan. A Texas girl. Go Cowboys!
Tina Andrus: Having to take all my equipment with me, doing fingersticks, making sure I'm giving myself enough insulin so I don't go into hypoglycemia or I don't get a blood sugar that gets so high. And, in my head, I'm just saying, "Why am I going through this?Why I am I going through this?" It became easy sometimes to just say, "Forget it. I'm just not gonna deal with it."
Karen Tester: My name is Karen Tester. I was diagnosed in 2001. I was married at the time, and it was very scary because I went quickly from not being able to take metformin right over to insulin. The restrictiveness of it, and the fact that I worked an hour and a half away from where we lived, it wasn't conducive to...
Carrie Cheadle: However, sometimes that support that's being given might be the only type of support that person knows how to give. So, so, knowing...One of the important things to know is you need multiple people on your support team. You can't just rely on one person for all those different types of support cause we need emotional support and motivational support and informational support that you really do need a team around you in order to get all of those and to move away from the myth, "Well, if that person really loved me, they would know exactly what kind of support I need and the exact moment that I need it. And, it's just, unfortunately, not the way that it works so to really be okay with having multiple people on that support team and asking for the support that you need. So, that's a pretty...
Carrie Cheadle: And, then another big one. You know, when you're living with diabetes, there's just...There's so much that you feel like is out of your control that um, it's so much out of your control that it really directly affects you it affects your life. So, because of that, really trying to shift your focus on the things that are that are in your control and the things that you can do instead of getting hooked and getting stuck with kind of thinking about and ruminating on the things that you can't do. So, really if you catch yourself in that moment of feeling hooked, ask yourself in that moment like, "Okay, is this something in my control or out of my control. If it's in my control, then what do I want to do about it. How can I address it?If it's out of my control, how can I let that go?
Carrie Cheadle: Oh man, these campers are great. I love camp, every camp. I just...It's such a fun, unique group every single time. It's just so much fun. It's so fun to see people like, you know,y would do and feeling excited about it. So, people that like, yeah, that never thought they would do something in one of the workouts or never thought that they would even want to or that they would be excited about doing a workout and looking forward to the next workout. So, like that part is just um...It's so much fun to see that and just so much fun to see how they come together as a group too. So, a lot of times, sometimes in our other camps, we'll do a closing circle. And, every once in a while, we'll talk about what are the highlights of the camp?What are you going to take away?
Carrie Cheadle: So, I do these welcome games in the beginning of the camp and it pushes people out of their comfort zones sometimes playing these games and I do icebreakers and stuff and they're like, "Well, you know, when Carrie first had us do our icebreakers, I was like, oh my God, I don't want to do this." And, then they talk about like, "That was actually my favorite part cause it brought us together as a community." So, I'm just...I love seeing that process of people...
Carrie Cheadle: ...kind of like feeling each other out, feeling this whole camp thing out. "Am I going to like this?I don't know about all these people. Is this going to be worth my money?" You know, all of the normal things that we think. So, watch from like that first moment and those first moments, watch that progression of, you know, now you hear them in there laughing and they're like...Then, I'm trying to get them together and they won't stop talking to each other so that I can do my lecture. So, like it's just...
Butch Quick: Was diagnosed when I was about 56, 57 years old. I've always been kind of active...
Tina Andrus: I mean even with my um, my...It counts how many steps or what I do in a day. Even my watch is saying, "Woo Hoo!

Tina Andrus: It is super duper fun. I've had so much fun in all of my 47 years. I've had fun today. And, nobody said a thing about it. They just let us have fun. So, I hope this...
Group: Ride the bicycle. Here we go. Woo!Here we go!
Scott Johnson: I was so inspired by all the people that I met there. For many of them, that was their first time being around other people with diabetes.

Toronto, Ontario—Montreal, Quebec—Day 194
My flight from Toronto to Montreal was fine. Typical flight except everyone was speaking French! It was my first realization that woah, in Montreal, French is the primary language. Not to sound ignorant, but growing up in Arizona I am so used to people speaking Spanish near or in the USA, not French. The flight was a little bumpy at first but I sat across from this cute French-Canadian guy who not only had the same woven wrist band that I do (mines purple his was black) but then we ordered the SAME drinks. I was almost convinced that it was fate until we landed and he met his girlfriend at the baggage claim area.
Oh well, ce’st la vie.
I got my bags and got a taxi to my hotel, which was happy to find was located in the downtown area. I called my new friend Andrea (a girl who I met at my friend’s wedding this weekend who is from Germany but living here in Montreal until September) and left a message for her. We had tentative plans for tonight and so I was excited—my first city in a while where I had actual plans to meet up with someone who knows the city instead of being on my own! So then I checked online to see when the Granby Zoo was open. It turns out that the Zoo is about an hour south of Montreal and was open until 7pm. Then I saw that the hippos get fed at 5pm, and at this point it was just turning 1 o’clock. I figured that the best thing would be for me to rent a car to get to Granby instead of taking an expensive cab ride down.
So I did some work first and then headed down into the lobby to the Concierge to arrange for a car rental. He recommended me a place and soon I was off in a taxi to go rent a car. The taxi dropped me off (a little disgruntled after I paid in change—he said to me, what is this?!? This cannot be!) and I went inside to rent my car.
That is when I started feeling like Montreal was this crazy, trippy place. The people working at the car rental were speaking in English and French back and forth, back and forth like it was nothing and I was just dumbfounded. Its like I knew that there were French speaking parts of Canada, but I guess I just didn’t really realize it. It was pretty crazy and I had to remind myself that I was in Canada, not France. I rented the car and decided on getting the full insurance (that would be my luck to get into an accident or something here of all places).
Pretty soon I was heading down the parking ramp in a BRAND NEW Toyota Matrix. It had like 50 miles on it when I got it and I was like great, now I am REALLY going to get into trouble or something! I headed out following the directions that the girl at the car rental place had given me. My only problem was that not only did I have NO clue where I was going, but not a clue as to what the driving rules where/are here. I tried to do a left turn (according to the directions mind you!) but realized that you couldn’t turn left during such-and-such hours and so I got many serious honks and hand waving (not in a good way) at me as people zoomed around me. I ended up having to do a U-turn to get where I needed to go but figured that if anyone had a problem with it, well, I’m just a tourist!
I was on my way to Granby. All in all the drive was just fine, even though the weather was getting to be cloudy. It was about 3:30 when I set off and I made it to the zoo parking lot around 4:30 which was perfect timing. The zoo wasn’t that hard to find once I got off of the highway. I bought a ticket and was told that since it was after 4pm I was allowed to come back the next day for free. Putting the ticket into my pocket, I had a good feeling that I might just have to take them up on that.
I handed my ticket to the ticket guy and went in and found the hippos. Two of them to be exact—a mother and a baby. Apparently the mother is a new addition to the zoo as of just a few years ago and when she was transferred from a zoo in Mexico she was pregnant but no one knew about it! So she showed up in Granby already pregnant so now they have the baby. The baby was super cute and the two of them were happily sleeping in the water.
Their enclosure was also a fairly big size. I set down my things and found my place where I wanted to stand when the keeper came out. There was about 10 minutes before the feeding was going to begin so I waited and soon a crowd began to gather.
That’s when this annoying little boy came over. Ok, he wasn’t really little, he was more of a large ten year old or something and he and his family were also going to wait for the hippos to feed. But he came and stood right in front of me on the platform (asking me in French to please move). I thought he was going to stand next to me but no, he stood right in front of me which literally left no room for me on the platform. The guy to my left who was not on the platform gave me a look like “can you believe that?” and I just shrugged and smiled, but I was annoyed. Now where was I going to stand? There was a large group at this point and the keeper came out. She started talking and I still didn’t have a good place to stand, and pushing this kid out of the way didn’t seem like a good idea with his mother right there. So I stood halfway on the platform and got some pictures in between the tall man on my left and the large boy on my right, who incidentally started swaying when the keeper came out. So he would like sway into my line of vision and then sway out so not only did I have to time my pictures with the hippos eating, but with this boy’s swaying.
Finally the keeper ended her talk and I went to ask her their names. She didn’t speak much English at all (again, I was ignorantly shocked—but I am in Canada!) but I managed to get their names. She also told me that there is a third hippo, Kiboko, who comes out in the mornings, switching with mom and baby (Polita and Alcide by the way). So I thanked her and was able to get some more pictures while the crowd dwindled, eventually leaving just me and the hippos.
I then headed out of the zoo and drove back to Montréal, listening to French pop songs all the way which was really fun. Miraculously I got off at the right exit in Montreal and was able to find the parking garage for the hotel with little trouble.
I then called up Andrea who had returned my message and we set up a time and place to meet. Every Thursday night Andrea goes out for drinks with her German friends and basically anyone else who is friends with anyone German. We met up and then met with the group and I had a great night. I won’t go into details but I’ll just say that there is nothing quite like dancing with crazy Germans. Especially to 80’s retro.

In the meantime, here are some lovely reviews (and one not-so-great one).
Today is February 2nd, 2009. </s> I had a bit of a scare last night with my neighborhood losing power while I was in the middle of watching The Evening Star. Thinking I'd be movie-less for the 2nd of April, I was lucky and it came back after around twenty minutes or so of sitting in silence and pondering my existence. The struggle of modern living eh?
I had never seen a single frame of The Ten Commandments in my life (as embarrassing as that is) and boy did it feel good getting it off my watchlist. It's among the longest movies I've ever seen at 220 minutes which makes how entertaining it was even more amazing. I don't think there was a single scene that had me looking at the time because Cecil B. DeMille (who also directed the silent '23 version) always found a way to keep my attention whether it be by the acting, the mise en scène or even the dated special effects. The epic story of Moses is given the best possible treatment and the character is given ample reverence by Charton Heston who commands the screen with absolute ease. Great seeing Vincent Price too.
I like Richard Harris quite a bit and I like animals so seeing him act around lions seemed like a good fit. I unfortunately wasn't as enamored with this film as much as I would've hoped. John Michie's character gets a smidge more attention than Harris' George Adamson which is too bad as I never really felt the desire to care about him or his romantic subplot that felt a bit too Hollywood for my liking. I wanted scenes with lions and Richard Harris. While I did get that to a certain extent, the scenes in question felt pretty short and even badly executed at times. Still, this works pretty well as an animal activist film and it's Richard Harris after all which somewhat makes up for the film's shortcomings.
After loads of unwilling experience with VT, the first thing that jumped out at me is how "un-VeggieTales" TPWDDA is. It nixes the common trope of the characters knowing that they're in a movie/show and it doesn't feature much of the quirky humour that the franchise is known for, instead going for more of a bland and generic brand of kid-friendly humour that doesn't do much to inspire any laughs. There's not a single mention of God which is surprising too, but clearly this was done to attract a wider audience. For me personally, TPWDDA is a bit better than the typical VT because it's more boring than irritating which is an improvement in a sense.
You're Next doesn't set out to do anything new with the slasher genre and that's perfectly alright. What could be done to bring something new anyway? Set in space? Point is, director Adam Wingard has a very good handle on creating tension and he's able to deliver some laughs on the side as well. Sure there are jump scares, but most of them are of the patient variety which partially makes up for that. Sharni Vinson makes for a great heroine and I was particularly appreciate of the 80's thing going on near the end. There's also more than enough violence to satisfy any gorehound. At the end of the day, You're Next is a satisfying slasher and I'd take that any day.
I'm going to just go ahead and say that The Flashpoint Paradox is one of the best DC Animated Universe movies I've seen. Most of them are middling due to their rushed nature and short running times, but here's one that runs at a steady 89 minutes (IMDb has 75 for some reason) which is just right. The animation is solid and the story seizes you from beginning to end. The violence goes maybe a little bit overboard and there's probably an overabundance of DC character cameos.

1 thought on "Reflecting on some issues…"


Wesley HodgesContributor IIIJuly 1, 2012
After making a splash in the recent NBA draft with their two lottery picks, general manager Neil Olshey and Portland Trail Blazers management quickly showed that they weren't done.
Soon after the NBA free agency period of 2012 began, the team reportedly offered a max contract to Roy Hibbert, a free agent center who was with the Indiana Pacers last season.
Hibbert is a restricted free agent, meaning that once the Blazers have signed him to an offer sheet, the Pacers will then have three days to match it or he will leave the team.
Clearly, the Blazers have put a lot of thought into this move, and a go after their guy. Choosing Hibbert means that the team isn't looking for a quick fix, and rightfully so. Patience is the key.
My feelings are mixed on the subject.
Hibbert is an up-and-coming player, somewhat similar to what Greg Oden could have been had he stayed healthy. In fact, the team may have released Oden during last season precisely with this particular move in mind.
Anyway, back to Hibbert. He should mesh well with Aldridge and can probably have an immediate impact on the Blazers interior defense, and he seems like a good character guy as well. A core of Aldridge, Hibbert, Nicolas Batum and this year's top pick, Damian Lillard, might not be on par with Oklahoma City, but it certainly looks like the start of something promising.
If Hibbert joins the Blazers, it would come at a hefty price, somewhere around an average of $14 million annually. This could make it difficult for the Blazers to keep Batum.
Either way, it seems like a lot for a guy who at most will probably average 15 points and maybe nine rebounds a game. Then again, if Hibbert does develop into a reliable low-post scorer, he could become extremely difficult to stop for almost any other NBA player.
We'll see how this all plays out, as more details come out about the salary offer and what implications it could have for the rest of the Blazers' summer plans.
For now, the verdict is up in the air, but you have to admire this team for having a plan and doing everything possible to make it happen.


Blake Swetlikoff Graham Sward NHL Draft
 annual event — being held remotely for the second-straight season — will take place on July 23-24, with the first round on Friday and rounds 2-7 on Saturday.
Graham Sward, Dheads into the draft ranked 117th among North American skaters after a solid but injury-plagued sophomore season with the Chiefs. He scored one goal in 11 games during the COVID-shortened 2020-21 campaign, missing 10 games in the middle of the schedule with an upper body injury.
As a rookie during the 2019-20 season, Sward gained more and more responsibility on a star-studded team that included NHL prospects Ty Smith, Filip Kral and Noah King. By the end of the year he had jumped into a top-four role, scori.
Blake Swetlikoff, F
Swetlikoff burst onto the scene during the recent 2020-21 season, earning the team’s Scholastic Player of the Year honor after totaling 11 points (6G-5A) in 21 games. He ranks 160kings.

This weekend Brayden and I visited one of our favorite places, Sierra Safari Zoo, and celebrated my mom’s birthday.
This summer is just flying by. Every week is filled with events, friends and activities. When you add that to regular work and life, it’s fair to say Brayden and I have been busier than ever the past few months. So busy, in fact, that today was our first time visiting the Sierra Safari Zoo, one of our happy places in Reno.
Walking through the exhibits of the zoo, I was so nostalgic. In last October’s post, Where the Wild Things Are, Brayden was barely two and in awe of each animal. This time around, not only knew each animal by sight but he would tell me what color they were and the sounds they made.
Even feeding the deer and goats in the petting zoo didn’t daunt my not-so-little b. He bravely let the animals snack on the ice cream cones and pellets through the fence and even took a few nibbles himself which was hysterical. I can hardly believe how independent he is now.
Another area of remarkable improvement was how he interacted with the deer. When we walked into the petting zoo part, he told me to be quiet so we didn’t scare the deer, and then he proceeded to gently touch them while saying, “I am nice to the deer. The deer like me.” Adorable.
That afternoon my family, Shawn’s parents, Brayden and I went over to Shawn’s house for my mom’s birthday. It was what is fast becoming standard for a Braun and Smith clans get together—lots of fun with good food and plenty of laughs.
I love my mom beyond words. I am a better parent thanks to her never-ending support and guidance. Any time I need anything, she is there for me. Her love is unconditional, and I am so lucky to have her in Brayden’s and my life. Although I strive to show her my gratitude and admiration throughout the year, it was great to all be together celebrating her.

Going in to business for yourself is exciting and the idea of being able to work from home and spend more time with your family is very appealing. Home candle businesses are becoming very popular, however there are a few things you must know before you start any home candle business. https://home-candles.co.uk/candle/candle-glasgow/


Welcome dear ones to the Sixth Festival of the year that is Lughnasadh - the first of the three harvest festivals and the festival of high summer heat. While the days are long and warm, while the flowers blossom and the trees bear their fruit, let's unite in our deepest appreciation for all that we have on this resplendent, green, beautiful Earth and fill our hearts and our cups to the brim. May you and all you hold dear be blessed by the radiance of the Sun, the Season, of the Ancient Ones honored by this festival, Lugh and Tailtiu. I wish you a beautiful, sacred, and health-filled high summer festival of Lughnasadh!
Welcome, dear ones, welcome to the beloved, ancient fire festival of Beltane!This sun-fire festival is a full half-year turn of the wheel from Samhain when the ancestral veil is thinnest. I dedicate this Beltane podcast to celebrating on your own. There are so many ways to lovingly celebrate at this time and the Earth in all her ripening splendor is so very deserving of our attention!
I'm so grateful that a show like this exists. What a beautiful way to honor the wheel of the year and learn about such ancient, magical ways. The care, the research, the sweet and loving invocations...


The point of my rambling is if you haven't read this series yet due to all the "fandoms" and all the excitement that they create I would say I was exactly like you early on and I was missing out.f!"
The Magicians Nephew. By: C.S. Lewis
Anyway for those of you who don't know The Magicians Nephew is the 1st book in C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia and starts off with the story of Digory and Polly and how they were able to not only enter into the land of Narnia. But to see it's creation and help this new world get started. I am a Christian and I know C.S. Lewis was a christian although he didn't like the idea of organized religion. I with a lot of other people can see the symbolism in these books and how they relate to our Lord and Savior as well as our Heavenly Father.I feel like reading them is like being in Sunday school. I know this idea has stirred up some heated controversy. But I do see this in his books. And that's just my opinion. But religious or not this book has a wonderful story line and can help spark the imagination in anyone.


Ho?
Yesterday when I went to pick up my son from daycare, he was playing and having a great time. The teacher was letting all of the kids in his classroom play with puzzles and my son was trying very hard to get the puzzle pieces into the right spot. It was fun to watch him play and learn a new skill. Ion.
So true. My mother, a parent educator and former teacher/professor, and my grandmother, who was also a teacher, were always bringing us puzzles for the kids. They always stressed how even when they seem too tiny to understand how puzzles get their little wheels turning, they are excellent learning tools. I wish I enjoyed them more as an adult, actually! I love to watch people who are really good at it put them together quickly.
My sons love puzzles and my oldest is 13, but he doesn't like the ones with tons of pieces because he grows tired of them before he gets them done. He would love the family to work a puzzle together. Thanks for the idea – looks like we need to pull one out on the dining room table for a little while and just work on it now and thenzzles.

So what changed? I remember one incident in particular, the one that precipitated my leaving my first husband. We were arguing about something trivial on the morning we were to drive a significant distance to visit his family, and like so many trivial arguments this one became heated. We needed to drive two cars, because we had just purchased one and were driving the other, a loaner from his parents, back to them. I was already nervous about the drive and feeling that I couldn’t go through with it, but when I told him this his anger quickly escalated. He got physically abusive, shouting threats, pulling out a gun and pointing it at me, and then throwing me to the floor, where I lay crumpled in sobs, thinking I was going to die. Then out of nowhere I began to pray. I told God, “if this is my time to die then I accept it, but if not, help me through this!” Suddenly my fear and distress left me, I stood up, walked into the next room where my husband sat sulking, and said, “Let’s go.”

When we first came to the Old Vicarage there was no garden whatsoever and all of the current gardens were designed ourselves.
The soil here is of excellent quality, a light sandy loam with a neutral pH. With very rare frosts due to being close to the coast and careful planting to provide shelter, we have created a micro climate allowing us to plant a wide variety of plants.
We look forward to welcoming you to our gardens soon.


I described posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms to nearly ten different therapists over a period of about twelve years. I was told that my difficulty in intimate relationships was a result of my being "avoidant attachment" or "just really anxious." One therapist (that's what he listed on his business card anyway) told me to drink more alcohol to deal with the anxiety. Excuse me, what?
Why?
But PTSD is an invisible monster hunting you down, and you have to keep running, or you will die. That's how it feels, at least. There was a saber-toothed tiger lurking around every corner. Yes, I think I will keep running. Why couldn't everyone see that?
I'm not going crazy. I'm not alone. Thanks, Google!
Yes, yes, yes!Thank you for talking about PTSD!I have not been through war, been in an accident or suffered physical abuse. But the trauma I experienced was real. I still live with its effects. PTSD has made me think I am crazy, not helped by the many blank stares I receive when I try to explain the madness my body experiences and how absolutely debilitating it is. Finally, I have a counselor who listens and fights with me. Thank you for entering the conversation and putting words to the helplessness it can bring. And for speaking hope. There is hope!
Yes, Jen, there is HOPE!I am grateful to know that you have found a therapist who "gets it." That is so important. Keep fighting!You got this!
I can relate to a lot of what you wrote in this article, Jenni!Especially in relation to my eating disorder, which went undiagnosed for many years until I reached a life-threatening level of sickness. Thank you for being so vulnerable and for shining your light so that others can have hope!I've always looked up to you in my recovery, and now that I'm better, I still love to read what you write because it is just so inspiring. Thank you!
Tara – I always love hearing from you!And, I loved meeting you on Saturday!Because I live with PTSD…

" A memory can't hurt me, but I'll tell you what: avoiding it sure can."
Hi Courtney – Thanks so much for posting this!YouYes, Katherine!I am working hard on a book about PTSD. Please stay tuned. My biggest passion right now is to get the word out about PTSD. Thank you for asking. I so appreciate your support!
PTSD is in some ways the most well known and the least well known mental disorder. Most people when they hear it think of veterans wheeling around every time something drops or staring off into space, hallucinating something that isn't there. And while, YES, those people do exist and do deal with some awful symptoms…
Unfortunately the public's idea of PTSD isn't exactly what it really is, and worse then mental health field is full of…
But I did eventually find a non-quack and learned to face some of my demons- or realized they weren't demons at all. It is possible…
Thanks for posting this resource page!Very helpful!
I've supported TWOLA for several years – not sure I can continue after this post that was reposted by someone I know and completely NOT the case!
Thank you for sharing. It's nice to know I'm not alone in my "weirdness"
Kim – Thank you for reading. You are absolutely not alone. And, things do bet better. Never quit!
Dear Jenni l have been there too. Even though no two stories are identical l have been running away from feelings and memories that l don't remember, they are more scarey than the ones l do. I look at my scars now and l don't see the scars like l did before, filled with shame because they are a part of my story and my way of coping to block out that pain l can't describe on the inside. Now l know it is not appropriate but my body has taken its own way of dealing with it by having non epileptic seizures. This is to me another way of torment and yet because l feel when l have them it kind of makes sense that my brain is doing this to release what needs to come out. It's out of control, it has a stigma attached to it like eating disorders but in a way anorexia and the seizures are working together or fighting each other. The solution from the neurologist is see your pschycologist …what?Thirty years later I'm asking when will it be over?
DAYUM. Missing PTSD?I am so sorry this happened to you, Jenni. First, the trauma, of course, but the fact that nobody put it together is appalling. PTSD is debilitating and very difficult on a relationship. Thanks for your honesty. I wish you healing. A trite, but very very sincere wish: take care of yourself. (and maybe stop taking care of other people for awhile?
I mentioned my issues to friends and family, but I was basically told to lighten up and stop being immature. "Don't worry!" "You'll forget about the accidents soon enough!" "It'll go away on its own!
One thing people don't realize about PTSD is that it can be brought on by a ton of different things …
"Nothing is chasing you, Jenni. Just quit running."
Ugh, that exaggerated startle response – I was always trembling and dropping things and reacting to every little noise – but remember that little game, where someone holds a dollar bill between your fingers and if you could catch it, it was yours?
It makes me said that you had such incompetent doctors. They can break you if you're not prepared, and how sick is it that you'd have to be prepared?
Thank you for sharing your story!I am a writer and have been in the throes of anorexia and severe depression since 1990. It is good to hear your voice!Keep fighting!
Jenni, I am so inspired by you and your courage in sharing that part of your story. I agree with you 100%. Avoidance doesn't work. I am so glad you are able to experience your trauma memory and not let it disable you. I'm so sorry you've had to deal with the psych hospital and some incompetent mental health professionals. I'm glad you made it through the darkness and have back into the light. May I share what you wrote with the Renfrew Center?
Brave Jenni, thank you for this!
Hi, Jenni…This is so touching and I notice myself having a similar symptoms as you described here…Yeah, I was telling myself those things were not big deals…
You are SO BRAVE, Jenni!Love you!
So what helped you walk through the PTSD?Are you still suffering?Does it ever really go away?
anorexia!You da bomb!


This article is written by anthropologist and tattoo specialist Lars Krutak. Tattooing and headhunting are a meaningful part of the Kayan or indigenous people of Borneo. Tribal lifestyle is threatened not by the social structure in Borneo, where countless ethnicities and tribes live peacefully on one land; they are threatened by the destruction of the rainforest. This article gives a great overview of some Dayak traditions, but does unfortunately not accredit individual tribes for their symbols, beliefs and practices.
Here is the website of one of the last tattoo artists to use the tapping technique instead of an electric device. I was lucky meet Ernesto, and we had a great conversation about educational technology which is the premise of my blogroll; he was adamant that the culture of a traditional craft cannot be related over the internet, only the technique. This turned the focus of my research to include community building amongst tribes. Ernesto collected “genuine” artefacts (ones that were actually used in ceremony for rituals such as headhunting) from his own Iban tribe, and will only use the tapping method for traditional designs from Borneo.
Even further back in time, I like this video because as it shows some tender human moments, but also because it shows the songket weaving, Pua Kumbu, by one of the young girls.  The video does not list the tribe, it boasts itself as a vessel for time travel. One thing I appreciated about Sarawak (In Borneo) is that local people were very interested in this kind of slice of life from the history of the land’s people. Many places that I visited would frame old photos or other artistic renderings for the walls instead of more contemporary art.
This is a 50 minute documentary that follows two Canadian guys looking for traditional (tapping) tattoo artists in the jungles of Borneo. They learn how the practice cannot be separated from spirituality, community and the afterlife. They are joined by Lars Krutak, and become physically and mentally involved in the lifestyle of the Iban with a surprising ending. Actually, incredible.

Wilderness experiences are truly a reset button to the frozen screen of your overheating mind. Intentional time in the wilderness is not an escape, it’s actually much more powerful than that. We escape when we feel out of control. We bail, we move on, we dismiss things altogether in order to regain control. Yet these are all coping mechanisms that take your soul in reverse. Coping mechanisms don’t solve any problems, they just get us through the day. Wilderness experiences on the other hand are not an escape. They are a saving grace. Wilderness inspires your soul by mirroring to it a higher standard for which you were created. When you are gazing on the pristine beauty of untrammeled wilderness, when you are sitting around a meal where there is nowhere else to go, your soul begins to taste a higher quality of life.

I made many mistakes with my Shiba when I first got him, but one thing that I did from the start was try to socialize him to other puppies and dogs.
Butt sniffing can actually be taken as a dominance move – the one getting his butt sniffed is submitting to the dog doing the sniffing.
This actually makes a lot of sense. The sniffing dog has all his teeth near to a vulnerable part of the other dog, while the other dog has his teeth farthest away from his hind area.
The dog being sniffed is putting himself in a vulnerable position, thus dogs only allow butt sniffs with dogs they trust and are comfortable with; or as a sign of submission.
I really do not blame him.
When Shiba comes, he gets treated, and then he can go back for another short greeting if he wants.
Protect your dog from other dogs if necessary. Make dog greetings a fun and low stress affair by staying calm, creating space, using positive interrupts, and body blocking unwanted butt sniffs.
she’s a bit dominant you know…
In the woods for a walk we sometimes meet some dogs. they can be big or small, male or female, so I don’t exactly know which dogs she’s looking for, but she sniffs a butt then takes a little bite. Nothing deep, but enough so the other dogs starts a fight.
Have you ever heard of that situation?
I haven’t seen Sephy do anything like that before, but I usually manage him very closely during greetings. I set up clear dog-to-dog interaction rules for Sephy, so he knows what are acceptable social behaviors and what are not. In this way, I control the greeting, set Sephy up for success, and make sure he does not practice undesirable behaviors.
My Shiba gets stressed when things do not go according to his routine. For example, he fusses when my partner comes home from work later than usual. He will go to sit by the door leading to the garage and wait for the sound of the car.
However, the only time I have noticed his tail losing its curl is when he comes home from the vet, after being sedated. I think he feels more vulnerable, not very comfortable, and not himself.
My Siberian is a 3 legged dog and sometimes she gets a bit overwhelmed by the other dogs she is playing with. I will always step in and stop play as soon as it looks like she is getting stressed or uncomfortable.
I was just wondering why my puppy shoves his butt in other dogs faces. It’s like he wants them to constantly sniff it. He seems to like to be submissive to other dogs. Is this a sign of some kind of fear or what is it?
My pup does the same thing! I hope its nothing bad :(.
2. Very small playgroups. I usually just organize one-on-one play sessions for him with friendly neighborhood dogs or with friendly dogs at my local SPCA.
Thanks for dropping by Julie! I have had lots of fun reading your blog. Your blog header is too awesome and too funny! 😀
As long as both dogs are comfortable and having a good time then that is a good greeting to me
“But by the same token, he should not go poke his nose up the other dog’s butt either. :)”
That is a good point and I hadn’t thought of it this way before. Maybe I’ll block him from sniffing another dog’s butt to see if that improves the situation.
Trying to imagine my dog giving calming signals to another dog sounds like a joke, LOL. It will be a while before he’s able to rehabilitate other dogs.
When the butt sniff is performed by new dogs, it is a dominance move – similar to humping. I do not let my dogs hump other dogs, and similarly I do not let other dogs hump them.
To me, not liking the butt-sniff is not just a quirk – but rather the dog saying he doesn’t want to be dominated by dogs that he has just met. That seems reasonable to me.
I just feel it may not be the best thing to do in the initial stages of a greeting.
Yes, exactly. Blame the dog when it doesn’t act like Lassie – such a common mistake.
I don’t think dogs should be forced to “like” other dogs. Obviously, everybody and every dog has their own personality, but I think it’s important that they develop social skills with their own kind. In my case, I want my dog to accept it and not run away when another dog sniffs his butt. After all, he wants to sniff their butt, so it’s only fair. To me, that’s not just a funny personality quirk, it’s something that should be worked on because it only causes problems for him.
That reminds me of Monk.
As for good etiquette that is something that is very much set by our human society – which we then place upon our dogs. There also seems to be a strange and unrealistic expectation that a dog should like all other dogs, and if he doesn’t there is something wrong with him. Probably comes from Lassie and other television shows.
My Siberian I sometimes bring her to daycare. My Shiba does not really enjoy the daycare situation, so what works best for him are one-on-one play sessions with friendly dogs at home, or just regular meetups with friendly neighborhood dogs.
I don’t let him meet and greet all dogs, just the ones who are not dominant. Shiba does not get along with dominant dogs, and vice versa.
Where do you take your dog for socialization?
The one where he is sleeping on his back is too precious. Also liked the pictures where he is playing and doing that cute play bow.
Can I link to Roush on my blog? Thanks!
When my puppy senses anything food .. sound, sight, or smell .. he follows me everywhere. Its not usually his food he smells, but it definitely provokes his curiosity anyways. So I am going to try to recalls anyways. Sometimes Roush can be stubborn when his name is called, so I am wondering if maybe recalls would also help with that, haha. I will try this and I will for sure let you know!
I still feed him by hand and I will eventually, slowly start allowing him to eat my handfuls from his bowl, while still doing commands and touches to see how reacts when he has access to his bowl.
Just to see how we progressed, I also allowed him a food toy this afternoon. I was very impressed. He allowed me to approach him AND put my hand near his face to take the toy away .. and not once did his lips curl or growl. I sensed he was tense a little bit, but he did not react to his emotions. And well, since I took it away I had to put more goodies in it for him. :] It was a very positive experience and I was so proud of him.
Also the recall thing would be interesting to try. Let me know how it goes – this is something that I would like to learn more on.
With dogs he’s unsure of or not familiar with, his meet and greet usually consists of standing tall and stout until he’s comfortable with the other dog, and then he tries to play. He LOVES other dogs.
He also is never the one to do the butt-sniffing .. and I dont blame him! :]


The mobile market, but Google Android has now demonstrably overtaken iPhone in terms of market share, due partly to the power of the Google brand and partly to the platform's openness1. Other mobile operating systems include the Blackberry RIM OS ans Windows 8.:
We also need to consider that “mobile” no longer just means phone handsets; a range of other, new device types have grown in popularity, such as the tablet computer or other devices positioned somewhere between a lightweight laptop and a smartphone, and with some of the characteristics of both.
The in certain sectors are even receiving most of their web traffic from users browsing in mobile contexts. 7, which has now become Windows 8. 60 per cent of people in the UK currently use smartphones.
The result is that developers– and ultimately a range of fundamentally differing models.
There are two broad choices in deploying a system to mobile users:
Apps targeted at specific mobile platforms enjoy a number of natural benefits::
There are also significant advantages to focusing development resources on Web applications accessible over the mobile network:
Additional positive aspects of the mobile Web include:
The fundamental consideration when focusing on the mobile Web is that, while there are tremendous advantages from both development and deployment perspectives, the network technologies and infrastructure have some way to come yet, in terms of specification and support at the client end.
Mobile Web browss predicted to change drastically again over the next two years, largely as a result of 4G.3
Time-frame is therefore an important consideration when planning a mobile project, as the mobile Web market will be totally different once 4G is widely available.
Moreover, technological changes in the coming years will be substantial. Much has already changed. For example, today the screen size of a user's mobile device may be anywhere between the size of the current smaller smartphones all the way up to the size of a small laptop computer, where a tablet device is being used.
An increase in bandwidth and network efficiency will mean speeds at least three times 3G services, with additional improvements suggesting a five-fold increase within the next decade. However, until the widespread deployment of 4G, reliance on Web applications alone is likely to be insufficient for many purposes.
Existing studies of mobile Web service users indicate that speed is valued over functionality, with users frequently frustrated in their attempts to use such services either quickly or successfully at all.4
In fact, statistics revealed through a study by Compuware's web performance division Gomez show that over 80% of users have not been able to complete a task such as a purchase, while around half have abandoned a site because of this problem. In general, over a third of users said they would begin abandoning a site within 5 seconds if it loads too slowly.
HTML5 is a developing standard which is already starting to have a dramatic impact on the mobile Web. Although the final specification is not expected for several years yet, some major sites have already begun focusing on HTML5, for example the Financial Times newspaper, which released a Web application instead of device-specific apps.
HTML5 has the following improved features: unified set of user interface tools designed to be compatible across mobile browsers.
In general, the extent to which Web technologies, including HTML5, can make use of valuable native mobile hardware and software tools is limited, but will almost certainly improve within the next few years.
There are ways in which applications can adopt some of the characteristics of both Web and native apps. In general, the loading issues in mobile devices require efficient applications to adopt well-defined coping strategies such as:.
For software developers, the dominant issues to consider when undertaking a project for the mobile market are:.
