The Rangers lead the best-of-7 series 1-0. Game 2 is Monday night at the Garden.
The difference in the routes Chris Kreider and Brad Richards took to the Rangers are vast. One is a draft selection, developed off Broadway and made an untouchable. The other a veteran free agent brought in to nurture a team ready to compete at the NHL's highest level.
Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals showed why the organization holds them both in high esteem.
"They come up with some big plays to get the last two goals for us to put us in the driver's seat," Dan Girardi said of Kreider and Richards. The twosome scored goals in a 90-second span to key the Rangers' 3-1 win over the Capitals Saturday afternoon at the Garden.
The Rangers lead the best-of-7 series 1-0. Game 2 is Monday night at the Garden. The Rangers entered the mid-afternoon matinee having had lost eight of their last 10 playoff games against the Capitals.
The goals scored by Kreider and Richards were glimpses of offensive genius in a game that was defined by defense and physicality. The Rangers (14) and Capitals (18) combined for 32 shots on goal in the match and Ryan Callahan led both teams with eight hits.
Kreider's go-ahead goal seven minutes into the third reiterated why he is the franchise's crown jewel. He hammered a drive past Braden Holtby to break a 1-1 tie. The play began with Kreider outracing Roman Hamrlik to a loose puck at center ice. Kreider crossed the blue line and cranked a slapper before Mike Green could get over to block the shot.
Richards increased the lead to 3-1 at 8:30 after walking in off the boards and snapping a shot past Holtby. Along the half-wall, Kreider chipped the puck up to Richards, who skated towards Holtby without challenge.
The Rangers and Caps entered the third period tied as Artem Anisimov and Jason Chimera traded goals in the middle frame. Anisimov's first goal of the playoff season at 12:38 of the second period opened the scoring. Anisimov and linemate Ruslan Fedotenko won puck battles along the end boards eventually leading to the Russian center gaining control. He skated out to the low slot then threw a shot that pinballed into the cage. Jason Chimera drew the Caps even at 19:54 by tapping Brooks Laich's cross-ice feed past Henrik Lundqvist (17 saves).
Despite the low shot totals, both teams had opportunities to take control of Game 1. The Rangers came out flying in the game's first 10 minutes and their forecheck kept the Caps pinned in their own end.
Washington survived the surge. Early in the second period, the Capitals were granted a 5-on-3 power play for 1:27 due to a holding call on Marc Staal and a questionable boarding penalty to Brandon Prust. Callahan and Girardi had four of the Rangers' five blocks on the penalty kill. Fedotenko had the other block.


The Smeg 70cm Ceramic Electric Cooktop SA711XA-1 comes with black ceramic finish with automatic stop can be preset with an individual cooking duration and flat stainless steel surface will help preserve the unblemished look of the ceramic surface.
Each zone can be preset with an individual cooking duration. This timed cooking can be selected for respective different times on different zones - that is, all zones can be operated simultaneously and at different time settings. When the individual zone's timed cooking duration elapses, the controls will flash '00' and an audible signal will emit.
For safety, the cooktop will default to 'OFF' in any extreme conditions, such as a continuous overflow of boiling fluids or a utensil cooking its contents dry. Cooking can only be resumed after the fault has been cleared from the electronic LED safeguards. Also for safety reasons, cooking cannot resume automatically — it must be manually restarted.

Google is shutting down Google+ for consumers following security lapse
Date : October 15
Over the next 10 months
Google is going to shut down the consumer version of Google+ over the next 10 months, the company writes in a blog post today. The decision follows the revelation of a previously undisclosed security flaw that exposed users' profile data that was remedied in March 2018.
Google says Google+ currently has "low usage and engagement" and that 90 percent of Google+ user sessions last less than five seconds. Still, the company plans to keep the service alive for enterprise customers who use it to facilitate conversation among co-workers. New features will be rolled out for that use case, the company says. Google is focusing on a "secure corporate social network," which is odd considering this announcement comes alongside news that the company left profile details unprotected.
In addition to sunsetting Google+, the company announced new privacy adjustments for other Google service. API changes will limit developers' access to data on Android devices and Gmail. Developers will no longer receive call log and SMS permissions on Android devices and contact interaction data won't be available through the Android Contacts API. That same also API provided basic interaction data, like who you last messaged, and that permission is also being revoked.
"""IT'LL TAKE 10 MONTHS TO FULLY SHUT DOWN THE SERVICE"""
As for the Gmail changes, the company is updating its User Data Policy for the consumer version of the email service. This will limit apps and the scope of their access to user data. Ben Smith, Google fellow and VP of engineering, writes: "Only apps directly enhancing email functionality — such as email clients, email backup services and productivity services (e.g., CRM and mail merge services) — will be authorized to access this data."
Any developer who has this access will have to undergo security assessments and agree to new rules about data handling, like not transferring or selling user data for targeting ads, market research, email campaign tracking, or other unrelated purposes.
Google previously tried to quell privacy concerns earlier this year after The Wall Street Journal detailed how common it is for third-party app developers to be able to read and analyze users' Gmail messages. At the time, Suzanne Frey, the director of the company's security, trust, & privacy division of Google Cloud, emphasized that users should review what apps have access to their accounts and revoke it if necessary.
Last year, Google announced that it would stop its long-standing practice of scanning the contents of individual Gmail users for advertising purposes. Of course, the company still has plenty of data it can target advertisements against, like Search history, YouTube views, and other Chrome actions.
These most recent changes are being attributed to an internal Google effort called Project Strobe, which involved a review of "third-party developer access to Google account and Android device data and of our philosophy around apps' data access," according to Google.

Are there different types of services for different types of clients?
Home User or SOHO* User - These are typically low volume users. They need to send or receive faxes only occasionally, and might prefer not to pay a monthly subscription to get service. If you're in this group, you may want to look at providers like eFax and Callwave.
Office/Network - These are typically a medium volume users. They have everyday faxing requirements for faxing from several locations within the office and even from geographically-dispersed office locations. If you're in this group, you may want to look at providers like Protus and Maxemail.
Enterprise/Production - These are typically high volume users. They need specialized, customized, high-volume fax solutions from enterprise applications. If you're in this group, you may want to look at providers like InterFAX and Venali.
Different providers may cater to different types of users, and it's important that you select the right type of provider, so that you receive the proper level of attention you need. A provider who is set up to offer customization to enterprises who need production faxing may not be able to provide the hand-holding that a home user may require, while providers to home users may not have the proficiency required to suggest production faxing solutions.
Be sure when shopping around to verify that your provider can provide the level of assistance that you require.

An extraordinary team is set up for success with the right people working on an important, meaningful issue with solid support from the sponsors and an agreed upon process to proceed. Additionally, there are several other elements that make it truly extraordinary.
An extraordinary team has a clear vision of the desired result, the team's purpose, direction and goals. An extraordinary team recognizes the diverse roles and unique contributions that each member brings to the team, both job-related and in other areas, such as organizing, clarifying, creating and team building.
Extraordinary teams also have open and clear communication. We don't think teams can emphasize communication enough because poor listening, poor speaking and the inability to provide constructive feedback can be major roadblocks to team progress. For success, team members must listen for meaning, speak with clarity, engage in dialogue and discussion and continually provide feedback to each other. In an extraordinary team, people not only talk, but they participate in a meaningful fashion with every individual contributing when appropriate.
There is a feeling of cooperation in an extraordinary team because the members know they need each other's skills, knowledge and expertise. Extraordinary teams have a positive atmosphere where people are comfortable enough with each other to be creative, take risks and make mistakes; there's a climate of trust and openness.
Members of the team are committed and involved, which means you'll hear plenty of laughter, but there will also be conflict. An extraordinary team manages that conflict by confronting the issues rather than confronting other team members. They see conflict as a healthy way to create new ideas and to solve difficult problems. They're aware of and they use many methods to manage that conflict and arrive at difficult decisions.
Extraordinary teams use various methods to make decisions, such as command decision, expert decision, majority vote, minority control or a command decision with the input depending on the time available, the amount of commitment and resources required.
Finally, the Litmus Test of an extraordinary team is whether the leader is a good coach, teacher and if they share responsibility and the glory. They're supportive and fair, creating a climate of trust and openness. This leadership role shifts at various times and in the most productive teams, it's often difficult to identify the leaders during a casual observation.
When you put all these elements together, a clear vision, diverse and shared roles, open and clear communication, cooperation, a positive atmosphere, and effective decision making, and you have a truly extraordinary team.

An electric circuit based on three concepts, namely, node, branch and loop. As per definition, an electric network is a combination of interconnected circuit elements. A network may or may not provide closed path to the electric current to flow. But, an electrical circuit may be a combination of one or more networks which gives closed path to the electric current. That means, when one or more networks are interconnected together to complete one or more paths to the current, an electric circuit is formed.
An electric circuit does have three conceptual things as mentioned below.
The point through which an circuit element is connected to the circuit is called node. It is better to say, node is a point where, terminal of two or more circuit elements are connected together. Node is a junction point in the circuit.
In the above circuit nodes are indicated by bullets.
NB:- If three is no element between two or more connected adjacent nodes, these nodes can be recombined as a single node.
The elements connected to an electric circuit is generally two terminal element. When, one circuit element is connected to the circuit, it connects itself through both of its terminals, to be a part of a closed path.
Any of the circuit elements, when connected to the circuit, it is definitely connected between two nodes of the circuit. When an element exists between two nodes, the path from one node to another through this element is called branch of the circuit.
The branch of an electric circuit can be defined more precisely, as the portion of the circuit between two nodes which can deliver or absorb energy. As per this definition, the short circuit between two nodes is not referred as branch of electric circuit.
An electric circuit has numbers of nodes. If one starts from one node and after going through a set of nodes returns to same starting node without crossing any of the intermediate node twice, he has travels through one loop of the circuit.
Loop is any closed path in the circuit formed by branches.

I've been using Arch more often than the Ubuntu machine lately and since I know that my Canon printer is not well supported under Linux I was putting off trying to get it going under Arch. In Ubuntu I was able to use some .deb packages that were hosted on a European Canon website to get the various Ubuntu boxes printing to it, but it wasn't pretty and once they were set up, I've pretty well left them alone. These are my notes on what I did to get it working in Arch. Yet again the Arch Linux wiki made all the difference.
First I had to get cups installed which required a bunch of packages: pacman -S libcups cups ghostscript gsfonts Then I enabled and started the cups service which has a cryptic name: systemctl enable org.cups.cupsd.service systemctl start org.cups.cupsd.service (and restart will come in handy) Then I needed the drivers for my Canon printer. The gutenprint driver package has them, although they are marked as Experimental which is better than nothing: pacman -S gutenprint I navigated to the CUPS admin page: http://localhost:631 ...and proceeded to futily try a million different connection settings starting with (ipp://, http://, socket://, etc.) pointing to the IP I knew was my printer with "Canon MX860 series - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.10" selected as the driver, but nothing worked.
Finally I stumbled onto the cause of the trouble - my older Canon printer relies on a proprietary printing protocol called bjnp. Without this installed the printer will never respond. I've read that the newer Canons no longer use this protocol, but I'm not going to throw out a perfectly good printer! Unfortunately bjnp isn't in the main repos, but it is in the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cups-bjnp/ (this package has dependancy on cups and libcups) after I unzipped and ran makepkg on that, I installed the resulting package: pacman -U cups-bjnp-2.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz ...then when I went into Cups administration to modify the printer settings I could see the Canon driver I had selected before now was available with a new connection type: bjnp (in my case it looked like bjnp://myCanonIP:8611) I selected the radio button to choose that connection and was able to print over the wireless network to the Canon immediately.


Today's This or That Trend choice was platforms or flats. I was all set to wear some platform sandals that I have with a skirt, but then the weather today has decided to flash forward to Fall, so I decided to have a pants day and go with my tried and true all time favorite flats. If you're a regular reader of the blog, you've seen these before.
My mom found me these a few years ago now at DSW, the tweed/herringbone type pattern totally drew her to them because she knew that I would love them. Funny story though, while I did think they were adorbs the first time I saw them, I didn't wear them for a good two or three years on a real regular basis. Yes, you heard me right, these shoes mostly sat in my closet not getting any love. Why would I do that? Because I used to think I was too short to wear flats. I have changed my thinking on that in the last year or so and now I can't get enough of flats, especially these!
So as I said, I was cold this morning, so not only did I wear pants, I grabbed a sweater too! It's a bit stuffy in my office though, so I can always take off the sweater if need be. Minnesota summer is so fickle. It will be hot again in a few days. I'm enjoying this taste of Fall while I can, I don't really like the super hot stuff unless I can spend time in a pool or at the beach!
As I was getting ready to write about my "Flats" I couldn't help but think of "Flat Stanley". Ever heard of that? Or those of you with kids, have your kids had a chance to do a "Flat Stanley" project? It's the cutest thing, I believe there is a book about him, but basically teachers have their students mail a "Flat Stanley" that they made to someone and have them take him on adventures and take pictures of it to send back to the students along with him. My in-laws did a "Flat Stanley" for some relatives from Texas. They took pictures of him in front of the Mall of America, the Spoonbridge and Cherry, and even just out in the snow to represent Minnesota. It was really quite cute.
I gotta say, these flats sure are comfy! I do like the additional height from a platform shoe, but there is something to be said for a shoe that is so comfy you think you're wearing a slipper to work! If it's warmer tomorrow I will probably wear the platforms with tomorrow's outfit instead, so you'll still get to see them!
Don't forget you can head over to Megan Mae or Keely's blogs to check out other bloggers doing this week's This or That Summer Trend challenge!
I love those shoes! Flats are my favorite...I need to shop for more!
I like the flats. The tweed fabric looks nice.
Oh I have been living in flats this summer! I love the top, the colors are perfect for a nice, warm day!
These flats are fantastic, they remind me of a tweed pair I wore into the ground (they got a hole in their sole :(). Really fun necklace too! I was just talking about Flat Stanley over the weekend, someone had him in the road race we were running!
It is chilly here today too! But I am ok with it- I love layering!
I love your flats - I just with I loved them on my feet - IDK why I have such a hard time buying them :( - you look great hun.
my kids' flat stanley (and stanette) went to the oscars. like for real went to the oscars. we have a handmade book to prove it! it's pretty awesome!
Ok that is too cool, I'd love to see the book sometime!
I can't believe your weather is cool! We're melting here in Florida, but I'm loving it. =) I'll take the heat over the cool weather any day!
I love the earth tones in your outfit. And those flats are adorable!
Fabulous flats. I'm glad you decided to give them some love. I've gone through similar feelings with flats. I'm pretty petite, so it's hard not to have the extra boost these days. However, as evidence by your adorable flats, flats can be cute, fashionable, and comfortable.
We've had a cool patch, with storms, so I've been taking advantage and wearing as many sleeves as I can until winter.
I love those flats! I don't think I could live without flats--they're so comfortable! They look great on you too, I definitely don't think you're too short for them!
The flats are great and do look comfy. I love the colors in your outfit today. I'm dressing like it's fall tomorrow for work too. haha Oranges and browns w/ suede-like top. Crazy weather.
Flats are so great to have! I have a lot of casual ones, but a few that still feel dressier too.
I used to be a heel girl, like FOREVER. Then I had to stand up all day doing lab work back in undergrad, and that's when I chose the flat. And it stuck!
CUTEST SHOES EVER. I totally want a pair!!!!!
I just did a Flat Stanley project for my little cousin! I put Flat Stanley in a very Seattle-appropriate outfit: plaid shirt, jeans, and hiking boots. Then I took him hiking, kayaking, biking, tide-pooling, and seal watching! It was so fun!


Farmgirl Fare: Monday Dose of Cute: Welcome to the Farm, Little Fella!
Monday Dose of Cute: Welcome to the Farm, Little Fella!
The other day Joe reminded me that it's been a long time since I've told a farm story, so I thought I would share one. . .
First day on the farm.
Morning walk in the hayfield on December 31st.
Joe called it a rescue mission. We hadn't planned to bring a new dog into our lives right now, especially another beagle. In fact, after my dear 13½ year old Robin died while I was in the hospital last summer, I wasn't sure if I would ever be ready for another beagle.
But leave it to that donkey peddling cowboy, the one responsible for our having not only Donkey Doodle Dandy, but also our beloved Australian/English Shepherd stock dog, Lucky Buddy Bear. And since I can't imagine how empty this farm would be without Dan and Bear, I was an easy sell.
Then there's the fact that this cowboy is also a professional auctioneer, which means he's spent years convincing people to pay more than they intended for something they probably didn't know they desperately needed in the first place. And this puppy was going for nothing.
He called on the evening of December 26th, and after Joe picked up the phone and listened for about 20 seconds he said, "You may as well just talk directly with Susan," and handed me the receiver. I couldn't quite decipher the look on his face. It may have been deep, abiding love for me—or resignation.
This was the deal. The cowboy had a pair of beagle pups about six months old that he and his seven year old son had been raising up to be squirrel and rabbit hunting dogs, but this little guy just wasn't cutting it.
"We took him out for some trials today, and he's not interested in hunting. My son spoiled him when he was young, carrying him around and playing with him all the time, so now the dog thinks the boy is who he should be paying attention to, not the rabbits. And since you'd mentioned a while back that you were looking for another beagle"—had I really said that?—"I thought you might want him. There's no obligation of course, I just figured I'd call and tell you about him. I know you'd give him a good home."
There was also an ulterior motive at work here. Despite constantly being surrounded by dogs—I believe the current count on his farm is fourteen—the donkey peddling cowboy is actually sort of afraid of them.
He'll be the first to admit it, and he jokingly (I think) refers to Bear as Killer whenever he comes through the farm, which is fairly often since his father grew up here and his family has hunting cabins on the adjacent land (we own 240 acres, but the original property was bigger).
He also knows that—as impractical as it would be here—a part of me secretly longs for a giant Rottweiler. And he's really scared of Rottweilers. When he called me back in early 2002 about an accidental litter of Australian/English Shepherd pups that desperately needed homes, knowing I was looking for a dog at the time, it was no coincidence that they just happened to have remarkably similar coloring to Rottweilers, but were a whole lot smaller and less frightening.
"Oh, and his tail isn't quite right. Something happened to the end of it when he was small, and it got a crook in it. But it just kept curling, and now it's curled all the way back in on itself."
"Is there anything else wrong with this dog you wanna tell me about?"
"Can I come over and meet him?" I had a feeling he was planning to load him up and deliver him to us that evening, sight unseen.
"Sure. He'll be in the far kennel pen with his brother and his mother. The pup we're keeping has the blue tick spots on him. Yours is the pudgy one."
I hung up the phone and beamed at Joe. I tried not to squeal. I suggested that maybe we should go check out the puppy that night. He convinced me it would be better to meet him during the daytime. And we just happened to be going in that direction the next day.
Nobody was home when we arrived, but I quickly zeroed in on the puppy, picked him up, and carried him out of the pen. He was definitely cute. I watched as he romped around and played with one of the other dogs. It felt kind of wrong to be contemplating another beagle. Joe looked at me.
"You want him, but you feel like you're replacing Robin," said Joe.
"Nobody is ever going to replace Robin."
"I know." I blinked back tears. "So what do you think?"
"I think he's a beagle who needs to be rescued."
"And he is pretty cute."
The cowboy's wife and two little kids pulled up just as we were about to leave.
"Are you going to take home my beagle?" asked the boy, who happens to be my favorite little cowboy.
"We didn't want to take him with us in case you wanted to say goodbye first."
"I'll go get him!" He raced off toward the kennel and came back awkwardly carrying the puppy.
"He's kind of a chunky little thing," I said.
"He's as fat as a tick," said the wife.
"Do you think he'll chase chickens?" asked Joe.
"The only thing he'll chase is a scrap."
The kids wanted to show me the bed tents and lariats Santa had brought them, so we all trooped into the house. "The puppy can't come inside," the junior cowboy informed me. "He stinks." I set him down on the square cement porch.
"Will he stay if we leave him here?"
After I'd checked out all the Christmas loot (is there anything more adorable than a size itty bitty pink roping glove?), the cowboy kid and I left Joe chatting with the wife and went back outside to find the wayward pup. After we'd unsuccessfully checked all his known hiding places, he finally trotted out of some tall grass with an enormous beagle who looked about 140 years old. "Wow. How old is that dog?"
The kid picked up the puppy and started lugging him back towards the house, telling me everything the dog wouldn't do as we walked along.
"Is there anything this puppy does do well?"
"Not really. But you never want to sell him—in case you ever have a mole problem."
I burst back into the house. "That settles it! We're definitely taking this dog."
"What," Joe said, "did he pee on you?"
"He does," said the wife.
"He does!" said the kid. And we loaded my new puppy into the truck.
SOLD to the little lady with SUCKER written across her forehead!
He rode the half hour home on my lap, and by the time we pulled up to the farmyard gate, Daisy and Marta and Bear had gathered around the driver's side of the truck.
"You'd better take him out and introduce him to the big dogs," Joe said.
I carried him around to the dogs and crouched down. Bear whined. Daisy growled. Marta opened her enormous jaws like she was going to eat him. The puppy's eyes got very wide, and then peed all over me.
The kids had named him Duke, but he didn't respond to it. And as much as I loved the idea of having a Duke of Squirrel, the name Duke didn't really fit him. A few days after he arrived I decided to call him Bert, and it suits him perfectly. His full name is Bert the Duke of Squirrel, although Joe says he probably thinks it's Bert NO.
His bent tail looks a little odd, especially for a beagle, but I think it just makes him that much more endearing. He yelps if you touch it or the leash gets caught on the curl, so when we take him to get neutered we'll ask the vet about snipping off the injured end. The good news is that it wags just fine.
As far as only chasing scraps, it turns out that part wasn't exactly true. Bert will chase anything that moves. Like cats. And sheep. And chickens. And even donkeys. He's usually just trying to play, because what Bert likes more than anything in the world is to be chased.
Unfortunately not everybody understands his puppy language—or enthusiasm.
Let's just say he knows how to exit Donkeyland in a hurry.
Bert stands by while I let the sheep out. There's never a shortage of puppysitters around.
Right now Bert spends a lot of time on the leash (I haven't walked a dog on a leash in 16 years!), and despite the assumption that he would be an outdoor dog, he spends even more time in The Shack. (Beagles would much rather be running around the farm than cooped up in the house.) He has blankets and beds in various places, including right next to the woodstove.
Last night he curled up on a cozy pink blanket next to my side of the bed, using one of my socks for a pillow. Chewsticks and bones and toys, including the cool rope toy Joe made him, are scattered everywhere. For now, it's simply the safest place for him to be.
While we were out running errands for eight hours on Friday, we left Bert locked in his chicken wire-encased steel puppy pen (formerly known as our first experimental chicken tractor) where he had spent his first four nights here without incident. We arrived home Friday evening to find the chicken wire on the pen torn apart, Bert running around free, feathers everywhere, and a slaughtered young hen in the yard.
I'd conveniently forgotten until Bert's second day here that one of the main reasons we'd never let any of our chickens run around loose until recently was because of Robin, aka the one responsible for the naming of Unlucky Clucky.
I had already ordered a remote controlled training collar, and I have high hopes for bad little Bert. For the most part, things are going really well. Marta Beast no longer wants to eat him, and the cats and sheep are starting to accept him. He's Bear's new sidekick and wrestling partner (he adores Bear), and he's even managed to get Daisy to chase him. He accompanies me pretty much everywhere.
He's only eaten one library book, Barefoot Contessa How Easy Is That?, which I had conveniently already ordered for myself after bookmarking 54 recipes I want to make. (I figure the library and I can simply swap copies.) When I walk into the living room each morning, he races over and makes ridiculously cute little happy noises.
As Joe's dog loving sister reminded him on the phone last week as he was regaling her with tales of Bert's various escapades, "He's a puppy!" She's right of course, but it's easy to forget. It's been three years since Lottie and Marta—who couldn't be contained anywhere—arrived here as little fluffballs.
Bert has won over my heart, and I suspect a part of my hunky farmguy's as well. And as Joe pointed out yesterday while we were in the kitchen and Bert was quietly gnawing on a bone in the living room, "He's actually a remarkably well behaved puppy."
He is. He has a charming personality and has already become an integral part of the family. And of course he's as cute as can be. I know we were right to adopt him.
It sure feels good to have a beagle back on the farm.
9/19/09: Bye Bye Sheep Barn!
© FarmgirlFare.com, the young at heart foodie farm blog where after two weeks, the consensus around here is that Bert has more energy than the rest of us put together. Puppies!
ahhhhhh he is so adorable! Love that fat little puppy belly!
Congratulations to all, Susan! Really - is there anything better than a puppy? A home (and a farm) is just a better place with a dog(s) - I am so happy for all of you. I love the story of how Bert came to live with you and Joe and all the animals - may you all have a wonderful, happy life together.
Wonderful photos - thank you so much for sharing them with us!
You will have so many laughs with Bert around.
He seems like quite a pup....and seems to be fitting in quite well (in the shack too)...He is one lucky dog!
I love your story and the photos of course. A beagle graced my life for 14 years and those years were an adventure. They can be rascals and chowhounds...but they are simply the happiest of dogs.
Those big eyes and floppy ears will melt anybody. And the crooning...one can get used to it as you (probably) already know.
Congratulations! Bert is as cute as can be and he is lucky you found him and he found you!
What a lovely farm story. Maybe Bert can star in his own series on tracking and capturing moles. How does that work, anyway? And what does he do with the remains? Do you rent him out?
He is just adorable but I admit I'm glad its you and not me going through the 'puppy' stage!!!
He is a cutie - loved the story!
Yay for fat puppies! Bert is adorable. Congrats!
Well, he'll never replace Bear as my favorite canine buddy, but I have to admit he's an extremely appealing little dude. And I love the name.
Puppies - can't be beat unless it is by kitties AND puppies - oh yeah and baby chicks and lambs and goats and donks - never mind. Wonderful story - Bert is where he belongs and Duke of Squirrel is superb. I have a goat we named YoYo - her mother is one of my favorites in the herd (she is named Norman and that is a long story) and now Norman is YoYo's Ma! Yes I do like cello why do you ask? Much warm regards to all at your place in this cold weather - from North Texas where unfortunately tonight it is also cold!
Bert is such a cute puppy. I know that you and Joe will have alot of fun with him. Congrates.
Oh so excited for you with the new puppy! We survived our first year with an incredibly naughty Boykin Spaniel puppy who chewed everything in sight (how do they get that radar for your favorite things????) and has a penchant for dragging my lingerie through the living room (only when other people are there, of course). But you know she makes me laugh pretty much from the moment I wake up every day, just a wriggling furry ball of delight, and who can put a price on that??? Have lots of fun with Bert and post more pictures soon!!!!!
I miss my beagle boy every day, and seeing your Bert - who, in case you haven't noticed, has the devil in his eyes! - makes me think maybe we need a hound puppy around here.
What a lucky puppy! I am looking forward to reading more about Bert's adventures!
I just found your blog and I just can't stop reading! We have a small farm in TN and love it. We have a beagle/corgi mix and he, too, house-trained himself, lol. It MUST be a beagle thing. Congratulations on the addition of Bert to your family! He's an adorable little guy. I just read your post on coyotes and can say that we share your pain. Six days ago, coyotes killed our 31-year-old donkey, Jed. I'm sorry you lost so much to those pests. We'll be adding a llama to our pasture as we have 3 rescued TWH mares that came to us pregnant (holy cow) and we want to keep those babies as safe as possible! I can't wait to catch up on all your posts!
Love the name - Bert! I'm sure there will be lots of fun stories to come from this little one!
He's cute! Luv us some beagles too.
Bert is a treasure. If we lived closer I would rent him for a day or so for moles. I need a ratter or "moler" I must have 10 moles in my yard. I did not want to use poison so got a company that set traps. 3 months and only one mole, lots of money and not a square foot of my yard that it is possible not to break an ankle because of tunnels. Come spring, after they and their entire extended families breed I'll proably be into double digit moles. Bert seems to be the answer, but alas, too far away. As to his tail, I had two cats at different times that we needed to have tails bobbed. It looks funny but healthy for the animal as you know, and less painful. Will be interested seeing his tail trim pictures. I need "dose of cute" Thank you for the effort showing us your farm.
Not only a "Monday Dose of Cute," but a "Welcome Breath of Fresh Air"! What a wonderful story, what a good home (and good 2- and 4-footed family) for Bert. Thanks for sending a bit of the farm to my bit of rural-ish Central CA.
Oh gosh, I knew half the story already but it still filled me up just reading it...I think it was Robin who decided you needed another Beagle.
WOW what a great story. did not realize how much i too missed your stories. Thanks Joe.
I can see how you fell in love with Bert!! he is very cute!!!
I LOVE how you tell a story!!!
Love the story and really enjoy your blog. I just discovered it over Christmas.
There is an old movie called "Biscuit Eater" you should see. It's about a boy and his dog that will only chase after his own dinner. Not great acting but it reminded me of your story. Funny.
Fat as a tick indeed!
I love your farm stories and I love the animals.
I am so happy for you, and for the beagle boy :) the action shot of Bear & Bert is awesome.
Bert is adorable! We have a beagle girl named Georgie - never a dull moment! I love people who understand dogs and don't get rid of them when they kill a chicken or tear something up! I know he'll be a great farm dog with some training and a great hearth dog for his family.
Evidently my beagle baby, Ella, didn't get the house-training gene. She is 4 yrs. old and STILL has accidents. Ells is also a rescue from an abusive home and she is a sweetie. So eager to please, so darn cute. Good luck with Bert!
Love your new beagle! Your story and dogs remind me so much of our little farm with lots of dogs, cats, horses, and donkeys. We have a beagle influenced dog that was dropped off at our house and she has been the best dog ever, she is like my child. I just found your site and will definitely be coming back to see you!
1. De-worm if you haven't already - that belly looks seriously rotund!
2. Please no shocking collars until he's trained. E-collars are meant to enforce commands that have been learned. He's a puppy (baby!) and still learning the ropes :) You wouldn't blame a baby who colored on the wall with crayons, you'd blame the parent who wasn't supervising and left the crayons out - same goes for puppies and chickens.

Federal Civil Rights Lawsuit Filed Against SVSD Alleges Racial Discrimination
By Josh Popichak | May 9, 2017

UPDATE: On June 6, 2017, the following statement about the pending lawsuit was released by Hellertown Borough Manager Cathy Hartranft: "The Borough has received a notice from the Plaintiff of (the) voluntary dismissing (of) all claims against the Borough of Hellertown."
A federal civil rights lawsuit that's been filed against Saucon Valley School District and numerous other parties alleges that two students–both minors–rights' were violated because of racial discrimination and denial of equal protection on the basis of race.
"Plaintiffs, Kerry and Sheila MacLean, individually and as husband and wife are the parents and natural guardians of Plaintiffs, J.L.M. and E.M., bring this action for monetary damages and other appropriate relief to redress the intentional violations of Plaintiffs' civil rights, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§1981, 1983, 1985, 1988, Title VI and Title IX of the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. §2000d et seq., secured under the laws of the United States provisions of the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, against Saucon Valley School District, and Saucon Valley High School, collectively referred to as Defendants," the suit filed in filed in U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, by Schakopflaw LLC of Bala Cynwyd, Montgomery County, states.
It further states, "Plaintiffs' action also arises under the Civil Rights Acts of 1871, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 1981, 1983, 1985, 1988, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. §2000d et seq., the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, for race discrimination, and denial of equal protection on the basis of race."
Also named as defendants in the suit filed by the MacLeans, of Meadow Ridge Court, Lower Saucon Township, are the Borough of Hellertown, Northampton County, Saucon Valley Middle School, former Saucon Valley High School principal Eric D. Kahler, current acting high school principal Kenneth Napaver, Saucon Valley Middle School principal Pamela J. Bernardo, former Saucon Valley High School assistant principal Lori Gamble, current assistant middle school principal Thomas Halcisak and parties referred to as "John Does 1-10."
Among the acts alleged to have occurred, which the suit claims violated the civil rights of J.L.M. and E.M., and enumerates under Operative Facts, are the following:
"Plaintiff J.L.M. has been the victim of verbal abuse and threats of physical violence since he began attending Saucon Valley Middle School and now at Saucon Valley High School."
"Plaintiff E.M. has been the victim of verbal abuse and and threats of physical violence since he began attending Saucon Valley Middle School."
"Plaintiffs, J.L.M. and E.M. have been called names such as 'coon,' 'nigger' and 'jungle bunny.'"
An alleged incident in which J.L.M. attended a middle school dance and texted his father, Kerry MacLean, to tell him that another student identified as J.W.–who, according to the suit, had previously told J.L.M. he wanted to fight him "because of the color of his skin"–wanted to fight him in Dimmick Park, Hellertown, "so they would not be caught fighting in school." Kerry MacLean drove to the school, according to the lawsuit, and spoke to assistant principal Thomas Halcisak about what was going on. "Mr. Halcisak located both boys and pulled them into an office and made the boys shake hands and call a truce, but failed to address the ongoing threats made toward J.L.M.," it states.
An alleged May 2014 incident in which a middle school cafeteria worker approached J.L.M. and asked him to "turn out his pockets." It is alleged that "the worker then proceeded to 'pat down' J.L.M.'s pockets, physically touching J.L.M. without his permission." When J.L.M. questioned why he was being searched, the suit states that he was told another student ("A.V.") who had previously allegedly used racial epithets in conversations with J.L.M., "had accused J.L.M. of stealing and told the worker."
"A recent attempt by Dr. Monica McHale-Small, Superintendent, to limit the display of the Confederate flag on school property is being met with resistance by the school board."
The suit, which is 53 pages long, also lists as evidence the response the MacLeans' and other parents received from school board member Edward Inghrim at a March 28, 2017 board meeting to a request they made for support in combating racism and bigotry at the school and protection for their children from it.
After Kerry MacLean spoke to the board that night, Inghrim responded by speaking in defense of the First Amendment, the suit–which uses an article published by Saucon Source and identified as "Exhibit E" as evidence–states.
The following is an excerpt from the article:
Board member Ed Inghrim told parents Kerry and Sheila MacLean that if their family–which includes two sons, in high school and middle school, respectively–"can't handle this day-to-day bigotry, then it's your problem."
Inghrim said he traces his lineage back to an ancestor who traveled to America in the early 1600s on the Mayflower, and said it is not the government's responsibility to tell people "what they can say and what they cannot say."
"I would suggest that what you say to your kids is, 'hang in there and deal with it, Inghrim said."
The suit appears to contain some factual and/or typographical errors.
Bernardo and Gamble are both erroneously referred to using masculine pronouns in the filing.
And the statement that "defendant, Saucon Valley High School, is a high school within the SVSD located in the Borough of Hellertown," is false, because the school is located in Lower Saucon Township–a different municipality–as is Saucon Valley Middle School and the surrounding Saucon Valley School District campus.
Lower Saucon Township is not named as a defendant in the lawsuit.
When asked about the decision to include the Borough of Hellertown as a defendant in the lawsuit, borough council president Tom Rieger said Monday, "I can confirm the Borough received this today and it was forwarded to both the Borough Solicitor and insurance carrier, who will handle it appropriately. As (is) customary, we do not comment on pending litigation."
The statement that "defendant, Lori Gamble, is an adult individual, who at all times relevant and material to the issues in this case is the Assistant Principal at Saucon Valley High School, and is being sued in his official and individual capacities," would also appear to be erroneous, since Gamble resigned at the start of 2015-2016 school year and has not been employed by the school district since that time.

Many people come to St. Petersburg, Florida, to lounge on its incredible beaches and just soak up the sun. But, there's even more to do here. The city is actually a rich and varied cultural Mecca. Here you can enjoy everything from celebrity rock and roll concerts to ballet, Broadway shows to symphony performances, and sports such as the Grand Prix and St. Anthony's Triathlon.
With a diverse array of museums in the heart of downtown, St. Pete offers something to match every interest. If it's the art scene that attracts you, check out the Salvador Dali Museum. This permanent collection of over 1,000 pieces of Dali's work is the world's most extensive private collection of this Spanish master. You could spend days here just admiring his work—or trying to figure out what was going on in the mind of this flamboyant artist as he brought life to his creations.
For more traditional art, the Museum of Fine Arts offers a comprehensive art collection that includes works by such artists as Monet, Rodin, Bellows, and O'Keeffe. For a personalized art experience, visit The Arts Center, a fine arts gallery that offers classes for adults and children.
The Florida Holocaust Museum, containing a variety of photographs, memorabilia, films and videos.
Kids of all ages will enjoy Great Explorations, an innovative hands-on museum. It re-opened in the summer of 2003 after a $2.7 million renovation that created all new exhibits and formats.
Nature lovers will want to visit the Sunken Gardens botanical gardens with over 50,000 tropical plants and a butterfly garden, as well as enjoy a Dolphin Landings cruise to watch for dolphins, visit an unspoiled natural barrier island, or just relax with a sunset cruise.
Sports fans will find plenty of action at Tropicana Field, Florida's first domed stadium, which is home to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, and holds a range of other athletic events, conventions, trade shows and concerts.
Accommodations in the St. Petersburg area range from the practical to the downright sumptuous. For those on a budget, there are the Superior Small Lodgings, which offer neat, clean accommodations in a cozy, homey setting. At the Seahorse Cottages on nearby Treasure Island, for example, you can rent cottages and housekeeping units that are right on the beach.

My original unicorn enamel pin! She is hula hooping a rainbow!
The unicorn is working on its hot body, and decided a rainbow makes a great hula hoop!
You might have seen her around since some shady people have copied her and made inferior pins and patches. By getting this pin from me, you are supporting the original artist that created hula unicorn. Thank you!
This is a hard enamel pin and has a gold finish, so shiny! The rainbow also has glitter added for that extra magic.
This pin might just encourage you to reach for that higher goal!

The US officially recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, Monday, May 14, and opened there the US Embassy.
On hand were two preachers: Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church, Dallas, and John Hagee, pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, both asked by President Trump to offer prayers at the Embassy's dedication.
The preachers were bookends to the event – Jeffress doing the invocation and Hagee the benediction.
A political event? A church event? Which one was it?
Confused? The flash-back in my mind upon hearing the news may clear it up. It was a conference room at Forest Park Baptist Church in Joplin, MO. Wednesday night – Church night. Youth Bible Study. Our Youth Minister, as they were called then, was George Jones.
The book we were studying? The Late Great Planet Earth, by Hal Lindsey. The book had just been released (1970) and it was hot. It remained hot, selling more copies in the 1970s than any other work of nonfiction in the United States. It's still in print.
The youth group, of which I was a part, was really into it. There's nothing like end times, mayhem, judgment, escape, to grab your attention; to build a crowd; to get people "saved" as the only way to escape the coming Tribulation.
The Great White Throne Judgment. "Here comes the Judge." After a big courtroom scene, Satan and all the non-Christians will be thrown into a lake of fire where they will be tormented night and day, forever, for eternity, no ending.
That was the view we were taught. That is the view many if not most Evangelical Christians still hold. Not me…but that's for another time. What does the U.S. Embassy moving to Jerusalem and Jerusalem being recognized as Israel's capital have anything to do with this view of the "end times"?
1. Jews would retake Palestine. That happened 70 years ago this week – May 15, 1948.
2. They would repossess old Jerusalem and its sacred sites.
3. They would rebuild King Solomon's temple on its original historical site, where the Dome of the Rock stands presently.
The thinking is: the more established and recognized the government of Israel is and the more closely its borders resemble the borders of biblical Israel, the closer we get to the Rapture.
The motivation of many Christians is not a desire to bring peace to a turbulent region, but a belief that moving the capital to Jerusalem will hasten the end of the world.
It's not about politics. It's not about peace. It's about prophecy.
How much influence did the "praying preachers" have on the decision of the United States government to move the embassy to Jerusalem?
How much influence does a certain "end times" view have on the policy of the United States?
What should be our concern? Peace or Prophecy?
Where is God's temple today? It's not on a rock. Not in a building. Not in a city. It's in us: Acts 7:48, Acts 17:24, 1 Corinthians 6:19, 1 Corinthians 3:16, Luke 17:21.
The two preachers are living out their beliefs. I guess I need to be careful what I believe.

Smurf still wanted her money. She knew that Lucy must have stolen it because Baz's girlfriend was the only one that left town following his death and so Smurf tried to talk her boys into going to recollect the money. She told them how the money was something they all earned and that she would give them each their cut from the start, but they hadn't wanted to take such a risk. Lucy was a big deal in Mexico. She was involved in everything down there from kidnappings, human trafficking, and even cocaine. Lucy had also shown how ruthless she could be when she killed a teenager and so none of the boys had wanted to take Lucy on. They thought it would be suicidal and had told Smurf so. And surprisingly that got her thinking that maybe she could pay off someone else who wouldn't be as scared as her boys.
Smurf had a relationship with a local gang. They kept her safe in prison for a fee and she knew that were willing to do other things as well if Smurf was willing to pay them off, so Smurf made an offer. She gave the gang a down payment in return for them finding Lucy and getting her money back. The other side knew that Smurf could be taken at her word and so they agreed to do the job. They sent someone to Mexico and had their spy keep an eye on Lucy. Lucy, on the other hand, was running a business like normal and never noticed that she was being followed. She was too busy killing someone that had stolen from her and so the only one that suspected something was up was the one person that wasn't involved – J. J noticed that his grandmother was up to something and decided to look into it.
J asked Mia to find out what was happening and she agreed to do it though she had wanted to be brought in as a partner and J was never going to allow that. He told her that instead, he'll set her up with an apartment because he spotted that she was sleeping in her car and knew that a roof over her head would probably serve Mia better than anything else. Mia admitted that she did need a place except she also needed cash and she needed that cash yesterday. She hadn't been getting a lot of side "jobs" lately and so J said he could help. He later told her about this idea he had in which he buys a laundromat to help clean the money and he said that Mia could run the place for him. It would be giving her a reliable job and J hadn't wanted much in return. He just wanted Mia to keep an eye on anything out of place with the gang.
J just knew Smurf was up to something and so he wanted to figure out what it was before it came back to bite any of them. J hadn't told anyone else his suspicions because he was trying to handle everything himself and therefore he hadn't been paying attention to anything else going on until Billy suddenly confronted him about the money. Billy has had Smurf whispering in his ear about how he was never going to get his cut of the money they stole because no one trusted Billy not go on a drug binge and that made Billy antsy. He thought if he could merely demand his money that J would give in and he had been thrown at first when J ignored his phone call. He thought J was being a little punk and had gotten worked up about the youngest of them holding all the money. And so when he saw him, Billy immediately went on the attack.
Billy had tried playing it cool and then lost it within seconds because it turns out he never really had it. He wanted his money and demanded it be handed over to him because he knew J wasn't "cleaning" it like he had initially been told. Billy found out the money was at the storage locker from Craig because he pushed Craig's buttons. Craig hadn't been in a good place and anyone with common sense could see it. The younger man found out his ex-girlfriend was pregnant and that he wasn't the father and, for some reason, Craig didn't realize how much he liked the idea of having a baby with Renn until that stopped being an option for him. He had also been angry with himself because he ruined Deran's relationship with Linc by bringing Linc into their world and so having an angry brother on top of being angry at himself had left Craig ripe for Billy.
Billy had made it seem that Craig was the one no one ever wanted around and so Craig revealed that the money was a storage locker. He said Billy should just go down there himself to get it and the only problem with that was Billy hadn't known where the money was. He had tried looking through J's room and hadn't found anything, so he wait on the attack when he saw J. J had just pulled in when Billy pulled him aside and slapped him into some of the furniture. He demanded his money J told him he wasn't going to hand it over. He explained to Billy they didn't need a junkie with too much money in his pockets to get picked up and so Billy couldn't shake J. J had remained calm and had gone back inside the house because he hadn't been afraid of Billy. And Billy had been so upset by that, that he tried taking his anger out at Pope of all people.
Pope had come by the house because he was finally ready to ask for help. He told his mother that Social Services had taken Lena away from him and that he hadn't been able to get her back or even find out where she was. Pope had been so desperate for any sort of news that he had asked his mother for help and Billy had made fun of him for it. Billy had called Pope a Momma's boy and was laughing at him when Pope snapped. Pope beat up Billy and had nearly drowned him until Smurf intervened. Smurf called Pope off and Billy wisely realized he should leave town before Pope tried to kill him again, but before he left he managed to sneak into Deran's safe at the bar and he stole all of his son's money.
Deran didn't find the letter until hours later and afterwards he told his mother about it because he figured this was what she wanted.
It wasn't!
Smurf revealed that she never wanted Deran to find out what sort of man his father was because Billy had kidnapped him when he was younger and had held him for ransom until she paid him with cash as well as drugs. So in her own way, Smurf had tried to protect Deran from the truth because she hadn't wanted to hurt him and in a lot of ways she hadn't wanted to hurt any of them. She later took Pope to see where Lena was staying and it turns out Lena had gone to a good home. There were two parents who lived in a nice house and had a swing in their backyard. It was a great place where Lena landed and Smurf had wanted Pope to know that before he made his next move. And while Smurf was no saint, she at least made a good decision when she kept them far removed from what she was doing with Lucy because there was no way Lucy was ever going to forgive Smurf kidnapping her brother.

We focus on the teachings of Jesus the Christ and attempt to understand them energetically.
Behind every act and every teaching that he gave to us was a Universal Truth. These deep meanings are still there even though they have been interpreted many different ways over time. Language, cultural differences and morals of the day have all influenced how Christ's words and meanings were to be applied. We seek to go to the scriptures and look again!
If you study Jesus' message in the four gospels, you will find that he is pointing our hearts and minds to "God, our Father".
He teaches us of a world that can exist in love and peace when we follow our hearts to Spirit. When he left the planet, the disciples were faced with an overwhelming task. Instead of Jesus' teachings of love, their focus shifted to their loss of his presence. His last demonstration became the message- his death, resurrection and ascension. It seemed that all of his teachings that had lead to that moment were all but forgotten. The healings became less and less. The miracles were less and less. The early Christians' focus became the message of Jesus' last days and the promise of his return.
Then as Paul came on to the scene, his writings show us that there was a need to organize and keep the converts faithful.
They had been waiting for Jesus to return for almost thirty years now, and the folds were becoming restless. As Paul is dealing with the problems of the day, he begins to set up "guidelines" that have been extended down through the centuries as "rules of behavior". Paul was merely handling problems as they arose. We do not believe that these letters were intended to be taken as rules of behavior. They were merely attempts at maintaining order at that time.
We, therefore, lovingly explore Paul's writings and those of the other disciples in the New Testament, the Nag Hamadi and other sacred writings with the realization that they were applying Jesus' teachings to the best of their abilities and understandings of their time.
Today, mankind has evolved in so many ways.
We understand more deeply the Universal Creator, our Father God. We understand that God's laws must apply to the whole. We, therefore, focus our awareness on the teachings of Jesus the Christ and how those teachings can be applied today. Jesus taught about love in all ways of life. As we love, we are loved. As we serve, we grow. Mankind is evolving into a true spiritual state and it is through understanding the Love that Jesus taught that we will arrive- awakened children of God.
We use the Bible in our teachings. We feel that the Old Testament is filled with wonderful examples of the consciousness of man and his desire to connect with God. We can see through the Old Testament stories of mankind's successes, failures and his awareness of the interaction of God in his life.
In the New Testament, Jesus comes to teach us of a new relationship with God. God is our loving Father! This idea was revolutionary at that time! It was the beginning of a new relationship with a God that is within the hearts of all.
Since we are Christian, our focus is on the teachings of Jesus Christ. We honor all versions of the Bible, however, we recommend the Lamsa Translation of the Holy Bible as it refers back to the original Aramaic texts for translation.
We also use the Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ in our teachings. This is a wonderful book of the life of Jesus. It was written by Levi Dowling in the late 1800's and was a transcription from the akashic records. This book is filled with explanation and truth that has been hidden or removed from our New Testament. In this work, we see the great need for mankind to evolve and the way in which to do it.
There are a great many other spiritual books that have a wonderful gift to give the seeking heart. We embrace any and all books whose message is that of love for God, Christ and mankind, and the freedom within each heart to choose.
There is only one God, creator of us all.
It does not matter how you worship. We all worship the same God.
The Christ Light is in us all.
This light is the animated expression of our selves. Some do not realize their true nature and lead a wordly focused life. We believe the goal of all will one day be to realize their true nature as being one with God and live a life of heaven on earth. All are the Children of God.
Jesus Christ was indeed a savior of the race.
Jesus lived a spiritually animated life and demonstrated Spirit's command over matter. He knew His oneness with God, our Father/Mother.
Mankind had turned from God. Jesus turned us back to God. At his death, resurrection and ascension, he created an energetic pathway between man and God. This space of grace allows all who follow him to find God's Presence, Truth and Love- no matter where they are.
Upon his ascension he went to His Father. " I go to my Father." At that point he became like His Father: Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent.
Moved through the death process.
Lifted those cells to spiritual matter.
Jesus opened the door to the complete spiritualization of mankind. He now stands guiding every heart back to the Father's Love. Everyone can follow. Look to the Christ within. There you will find that you are one with Jesus the Christ and one with God.
There is only One God! Your Divine Creator.
God is your father/mother. You are therefore a co-creative child of God. Honor the balance of the force and wisdom of God in this dimension.
Use God's energy to create only what you desire, not what you don't desire.
Do not worship your creations as God.
As you create, take a break on the 7th day and ask what you can do for the good of the whole, and then do it.
God is your source in all things.
God is life; honor all life as part of God.
Honor God in your brother and do nothing to hinder his path.
Serve God by staying on your path.
Honor your uniqueness as well as your brother's. God loves and provides for each one. You are the individuation of God.

Q&A with Watchup, the Award-Winning iPad App for News Videos
David Weir
Our interview with Adriano Farano, the CEO of Watchup, which recently won a prestigious Knight Foundations News Challenge award.
What is Watchup?
We created Watchup to bring the power of video journalism to emerging screens. We have started with an iPad app that lets you watch your daily newscast out of the world's most trusted channels.
You pick your favorite areas of interest and the app automatically generates a daily newscast for you. Over time as you add or remove new channels and watch them, the app learns which are the ones you prefer and builds your newscast accordingly. You can also choose to schedule your newscast that you'll receive every day at the time you want. It's just a treat for news junkies!
How many channels do you have and how do you aggregate that content?
Our goal is to expand your horizons with high quality news channels. We curate a list of over a hundred YouTube news channels. We define news in a broad way to include U.S., world, sports, entertainment or local news. We also offer 'food for thought' with TED talks, and nice short documentaries. We also offer lots of international channels from France, India, Brazil and many other places.
I've heard it described as "Flipboard for video" and "Hulu for news junkies"–are those good analogies?
The main difference with Flipboard, and the reason why Watchup has the potential to be better, is that with 2.0, Watchup has become the one and only video-centric news reader. With the Watch and Read feature we are blurring the line between news readers and video aggregators to offer the best that both video and text can offer.
Can you describe the user interface and navigational system?
Watchup has been designed with the idea of "lasagna design" in mind. The app's interface is organized around several layers of panels, each providing a specific level of information and functionalities. If you want to lean back and work out while learning what's going on in the world, Watchup will automatically go "full screen" if you don't touch the screen for ten seconds. Do you want to actively engage with the content? We've got you covered, too! Drag the upper panel down to browse per channel and queue up videos that you choose. Or drag the right panel in to read articles that are related to the video you're watching. It's a patent-pending interface that augments your news experience dramatically.
One of your partners, Univision, also displays ads, is that right?
We are very excited to partner with the premier channel for Hispanic America, yes. By syndicating content and pushing ads to Watchup, Univision can further extend its audience to the iPad demographic.
Can users of Watchup send content to smart or connected TVs like Apple TV?
We believe that the iPad is a perfect device for enjoying content on a bigger screen. That's why we have integrated with AirPlay. Now, with our "Watch and Read" feature you can also recreate a "second screen" experience on your iPad alone as we allow you to read an article while watching a video.
How many channels can a user access at a time? How do users customize their experience?
We think that beauty is made of constrains, too. That is why, in order to not make your interface too crowded, we limit the number of channels you can watch to twenty. But subscribing and unsubscribing is very easy, so you can switch them around.
Can users share the content?
Watchup lets you share any video via Twitter, Facebook or email.
What's the best advice you've received while building Watchup?
Prototype. Fail soon and fast. Reiterate. The design thinking process I learned at Stanford as a Knight Fellow, if combined with the kind of radical intuition Steve Jobs had, is probably our Northern Star for redesigning the news experience on the iPad.
Can you tell us about the WSJ video channel?
The Wall Street Journal is an amazing case of a legacy newspaper that has been able to radically expand to video with dozens of hours of original content produced a day. We are proud to count them among our partners and friends. Full disclosure, Gordon Crovitz, a former WSJ publisher, is also an investor to Watchup.
How many countries do you get content from, how many countries do you have users in, and how many languages do you support?
Watchup is probably the most international of any news apps out there. We not only offer international channels such as Al Jazeera and Reuters but we also select the best sources from countries our users request. Brazil, India, Italy, France, Mexico… Expatriates account for a big percentage of our users because they can easily pick and choose both U.S. channels and sources from their home country to keep up with the news in a global way.
Where do you see the future of online and mobile video content headed?
The future of digital video is both in content and user experience. Watchup focuses on the latter because its goal is to elevate the news experience on every single emerging screen. But our goal is also to create an ecosystem for news organizations so that they can also thrive and look at the future with a stronger business model.


A fantastic new guide, launched by Curved House Kids, details how and why we should be lifting our girls up and encouraging them to further their STEM education. The Inspired By Space: Engaging Girls In STEM guide (pdf) features brilliant activities created by combining the classroom experience of teacher Claire Loizos with Curved House Kids materials and learning methods. The guide was released this week to mark the 26th anniversary of Dr.Helen Sharman's mission launch, the first British astronaut!
European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Tim Peake and the UK Space Agency to create the Principia Space Diary, marking the launch of Tim Peake's Principia mission in 2015. The programme simplified the complex subject of space for a primary-aged audience using a series of activities that followed the story of Tim's mission. In its first year, the Space Diary reached over 60,000 students and 38,500 printed books were distributed to schools for free!
As we've discussed at Rocket Women previously, the project highlights that the UK has a STEM skills crisis across all sectors, with an estimated shortage of 69,000 recruits a year. At the same time, only 7% of women are choosing STEM careers.
I'm excited to be featured in the guide alongside Dr.Helen Sharman, the first British astronaut! Twenty-six years ago, astronaut Dr.Helen Sharman beat 13,000 applicants to become the first British astronaut and the first woman to visit the Mir space station! Her mission was and is a remarkable moment for the UK and for women in STEM, along with a timely reminder of the need to encourage girls into STEM careers.
Personally, Dr.Helen Sharman was hugely influential in inspiring me to consider a career in the space. At the age of six, I remember learning that Helen Sharman was the first British astronaut & had travelled to space a mere two years before. That moment changed my life. To now be featured alongside her & such inspirational women is an amazing honour!
Two and a half decades on from her flight, achievements like Dr. Helen Sharman's are unfortunately still all too rare. This fantastic guide aims to change this and encourage the next generation to pursue a fulfilling career in STEM.
The Space Diary by Curved House Kids and the UK Space Agency is now a ready-made programme that schools can use to deliver the science curriculum with secondary links to literacy, maths and numeracy, design and technology, geography, PE and more. To date, over 90,000 students have registered in schools and home education settings across the UK!

It magnetizes to your earbuds to keep them from twisting and tangling while you're out and about.
We always get asked about the magnet damaging anything internal on the earbuds, rest assured your earbuds are safe with Cableyoyo.
There are tons of different ways you can coil your earbuds, but most suggest that you tie or wind a portion of the cable around the rest of the slack making it easy to split, break or damage your earbuds.
With Cableyoyo, you simply coil the cable slack around the spool and use the magnet force at the middle of the spindle to attract the dangling earbuds.
Simple as that, you have an earbud carrying case, damage free.
When you're ready to use your earbuds, just place your finger in the middle of the yoyo and pull.
Your earphones will release and be ready to use on the spot.
In addition to earbuds, Cableyoyo can be used to wind up your Apple Lightning cable or any small charging cable to prevent tangles and save time not having to work out a bunch of knots and kinks.
