Android: Nobody likes a boring home screen. And while you get a number of default options within Android to pretty up your device, you can get a lot more creative if you build your own live wallpaper. KLWP Live Wallpaper Maker is the perfect “the sky is the limit” app, for its usefulness is directly correlated to how much time you’re willing to spend in it, making the live wallpaper of your dreams.
The app is somewhat easy to use—and I don’t say that to warn anybody off. Rather, it’s just full of all sorts of different options for customizing your own live wallpaper, and might feel a little overwhelming if you’re starting from a blank canvas. That’s why I appreciate the preset and downloadable templates you can explore within KLWP to get a better sense of the app’s full capabilities at a quick glance.
If you just want to create a variation on a theme, like adjusting a few text options on an existing wallpaper template, that’s easy and probably the approach I’d recommend for your first live wallpaper creation. Once you feel like you’re ready to explore your creativity a bit more, you can take a look at a fancier live wallpaper—like one that applies scaling and animation to the primary elements on your home screen (such as a clock) that completely change your wallpaper’s look and feel when you swipe left and right through different pages on your device.
While the app’s free version is fully functional for those that want to roll up their shirtsleeves and start building out some wallpaper masterpiece for their smartphone, this is one of the occasions where I recommend plunking down $4.49 for the app’s “pro” mode. Not only does this remove the app’s blatant advertising, but it also allows you to download all the different live wallpapers others have created. (You’re a lot more limited in what you can grab when using the app’s free version).
XDA Developers’ video tutorial does a great job covering the basics of the feature-packed KLWP Live Wallpaper Maker.
Again, it’ll probably be a lot faster to learn how to use KLWP by exploring how others have built their own wallpapers, rather than trying to fiddle around with its many options on a blank canvas. Or if you don’t want to create anything at all, and just want to use popular, customized wallpaper that others have made, that’s an option, too. For less than $5, your Android device just got a lot more fun—and a lot more elegant than just dumping a bunch of widgets over your regular background photo via the OS.

The YMCA of the East Bay was started in 1879 as the Young Men’s Christian Association of Oakland and the YMCA of the Central Bay Area was founded in Berkeley in 1903. These facilities offered housing, sports, recreation, language instruction and character development for thousands of young men.
In July of 2017, The YMCAs of the East Bay and the Central Bay Area joined together to form a single YMCA to serve all of Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. Both YMCAs have deep roots and a strong presence in the bay area community, and by combining resources, are able to deepen the impact and expand member services.
Now, the YMCA of the East Bay comprises five health and wellness center, over twenty child care sites, a state of the art teen center, and three beautiful camps!
The Young Men's Christian Association was founded in London, England, on June 6, 1844, in response to unhealthy social conditions arising in the big cities at the end of the Industrial Revolution (roughly 1750 to 1850). Growth of the railroads and centralization of commerce and industry brought many rural young men who needed jobs into cities like London. They worked long hours and were far from home and family.
George Williams arrived in London in 1841 as a sales assistant in a draper's shop. He and a group of fellow drapers organized the first YMCA to substitute Bible study and prayer for life on the streets. By 1851 there were 24 Ys in Great Britain, with a combined membership of 2,700. That same year the Y arrived in North America: It was established in Montreal on November 25, and in Boston on December 29.
The idea proved popular everywhere. In 1853, the first YMCA for African Americans was founded in Washington, D.C., by Anthony Bowen, a freed slave. The next year the first international convention was held in Paris. At the time, there were 397 separate Ys in seven nations, with 30,369 members total.
Since then, the YMCA has made contributions to many aspects of life in the United States. YMCAs invented basketball, racquetball and volleyball; we introduced the world’s first indoor pool and group swim lessons. YMCAs pioneered camping, public libraries, night schools and teaching English as a second language.

Michele Bilyeu Creates *With Heart and Hands*: All My Bags are Packed...I'm Ready to Go!
All My Bags are Packed...I'm Ready to Go!
No matter how busy I am, I know there is a part of me that needs to be (as they say) the recipient of the first oxygen mask. I've learned the importance of being able to breathe.... so that I can still help others. I've learned to take time to change priorities and do things for myself..... just because I really, really need to.
I decided while previously in Alaska, that I really NEEDED an ID wallet. I sat waiting to take off from the Juneau, Alaska airport last year...sitting next to my legally blind mother, who also has moderately advanced Alzheimer's....and waiting for the rest of my family to return from their 'frantically trying to fit a lot in' trip to a store while I sat out my 2 hr security wait. They left my mother with me at the airport...so I could spend every last minute with her and because shopping is just too hard on her, anymore. I was happy to be with her and happy to be able to just sit!
Even though Juneau is the capital city of Alaska, our airport is quite small, the waiting area is even smaller yet. But now the Juneau Municipal Airport has been upgraded.... to having two floors and an escalator. My mother and I were lucky to even find two seats.... but those two seats were right by the top of that escalator.
As I watched people going up and down, down and up, running up against the flow, running down, even faster than the flow, and then of course, some of them...even trying to beat the flow by going against it. And I thought about all of the challenges and dangers a simple escalator poses...and how it's almost a metaphor for the hectic pace of our own lives.
Little did I know, that 1 1/2 hrs. later, I would be in that frantic flow....at the top of the escalator, frantically praying that someone...anyone I knew.... would come sit with my mom. I was about to miss my flight. And there are only two flights out to Seattle a day. And this was the second one.
I heard the first call for passengers to board. Not go through security...board. I heard the final call for passengers to board...not go through security which I hadn't done yet...board.
And then, my prayers were answered...here comes my desperately, frantic brother...running as fast as he could up the escalator to meet us. I barely had time for explanations or time to hug my mom and tell her that I loved her... before I had to run...as fast as I could... another 20' to security. When I got there...well, have you guessed it yet?
A ticket, a purse, two carry-ons, a bag of 2 oz or less liquids all ready to set out.... and no driver's license. They were holding the plane for a babbling woman with no photo ID.
I babbled about having had it at ticketing...just 2 hours before.... that the agent could identify me... that I had all kinds of credit cards to prove who I was....but nope, no driver's license photo ID. And they HAD to have it. And I couldn't find it!
I knew then, that I needed an ID wallet and I'd wear it around my neck...just like a Quilt Guild badge ID and then maybe, next time...I wouldn't be surrounded by 4 TSA agents...all with 'very serious we mean business' faces.
And yes, I made myself breathe, and yes, I finally found my driver's license...sandwiched between some credit cards in the wrong place in space and time. Just exactly like I often am.
I learned from that lesson at least...my oxygen mask is firmly in place. Ta da...my newly created ID wallet.
I may have been too tired to think, or follow any directions on any pattern...but I still managed to make one! And somehow, best of all, I managed to find the time...just for me, for something I wanted and needed to have and to do.
North to Alaska...early tomorrow morning, with my photo ID AND my ticket, both together and ready... in the right place...for all of the right times!
...and for a while there I was holding my breath for you. I'm glad you have this for yourself.
Breathe, Michele, breathe! I could only imagine your frustration at the airport. This trip will be smooth sailing... well done! I am praying for a safe and peace-filled journey home.
Safe trip. Take care of yourself and don't forget to breathe!
Wishing you a safe trip too! And BREATH!
Such a simple solution to help ease the journey. Safe travels.
What a great idea! No digging around looking for it in your purse, no stress, immediately handy!
I've gone to the airport before without an id. I felt like a fool, but with all the other pieces of credit cards, etc., and my young daughter vouching for me, they went ahead and gave me a ticket and took my luggage. Very smart of you to make an id wallet, and a pretty one at that.
My heart goes out to you!! You are so right, this little bag will take care of all those "important documents" needed when traveling!
Wow, what a story and scare. And your solution in making this great travel tool is a brilliant way to ensure peace of mind in traveling. I wish you and your family well on this trip.
I was just wandering and landed here.
I don't know you, but I'm proud of you. Not only for your family challenges, but how you learned from a difficult situation and turned it into a positive action. And then you were generous enough to share it with others.
Wow, what a GREAT idea, I can't wait to make one!! I just found your blog and love it, nice to meet you!

Combining the Southern traditions of Lowcounty with the brand’s signature California casual luxury, Montage Palmetto Bluff hits a sweet spot.
It was our third day at Montage Palmetto Bluff slowing down from hot and heavy August air in Lowcountry. We stood waiting for one the resort’s boats to tour and enjoy lagoon views of the resort’s private residences.
We didn’t hear the The Bluff approach with it’s silent, electric motor.
Boarding the electric boat to tour the lagoon areas.
Since I bribed my children with promises of chocolate later, they tolerated my passion for residential architecture and boarded without fuss. Soon they were lying horizontal lulled to a drowsy state from the gentleness of the boat’s movements and the heat.
I looked at both my kids who were relaxed and worn out from our previous days, eyes closed with subtle smiles on their faces. We had found our singular definition of a summer vacation paradise at Montage Palmetto Bluff.
Worn out from the best type of family vacation.
Browse Luxe Recess, and you can see I have featured many of the great resorts in the United States, but I can honestly say there is no place like the Montage Palmetto Bluff.
Regulars of Sea Island, Kiawah, and Hilton Head will find an equally beautiful and luxe retreat where guests can really get closer to nature without making any sacrifices in creature comforts. This is a Legend property of Preferred Hotels, so it’s all five-star.
Ever heard of Bluffton, South Carolina? It isn’t far from Hilton Head or Savannah, Georgia, and is actually about twenty minutes to each.
A sign at Moreland Village tells you where Bluffton is.
Although Hilton Head can boast beaches, its dense development has made it less of a desirable choice for those who likes things a little quieter and with fewer crowds.
Montage Palmetto Bluff offers a unique landscape of river, marsh, and forest all in one.
Palmetto Bluff is the opposite of Hilton Head Island. It seems like its vast acreage could never be fully developed, and the crowds disperse well in this community giving each guest a sense of temporary ownership of this unique combination of river, marsh, and forest.
Just reaching the front desk is a journey. Once you enter the Palmetto Bluff security gates, you have several miles of road ahead. Palmetto Bluff refers to the massive 20,000 acre community along the May River. The Montage took over the Inn at Palmetto Bluff in 2014.
Palmetto Bluff concentrates its many amenities at the Inn, Wilson Village, and the new Moreland Village. Private residences fill in the rest of the space. The main building showcases a traditional Southern style with multistory white columns.
While I admired the navigational elements of the lobby’s parquet floor, a front desk associate wheeled a beautiful yacht inspired wagon to my children. It contained plush animals of local inhabitants: dolphins, deer, eagles, and gators hidden in the back compartment.
A plush welcome for kids at Montage Palmetto Bluff.
So at the Montage Palmetto Bluff, the first thing you do after check-in is not unpack your suitcases. You take the golf cart with the bellman to the bike shop where each family member can rent bikes for their stay.
The shop’s selection was extensive for families, with add-on infant seats, children’s co-pilot extensions, and buggies. Guests not interested or able to cycle can rent golf carts to navigate all of the same paths.
Guests who forgo both can always call the front desk for golf cart shuttles in between the resorts amenities and restaurants when biking in our Jimmy Choo sandals seems like a bad idea.
The figure-eight paths in front of the cottages had no cars and little cart traffic, and it was very easy to let my kids bike around until dark like it was 1979.
Once outfitted with bikes, there was so much to see of this resort. Here are the favorite places where our bikes took us.
We loved biking everywhere without having to navigate car traffic.
The Montage boasts two incredible tree houses on property. One is centrally located with a playground you will pass entering the resort. There’s a small zip line that younger children will love, especially if they haven’t tried zip lines before.
The Montage Palmetto Bluff tree houses provide children with a bird’s eye view of the spectacular landscape.
The second, taller treehouse is further afoot and may be better reached by car (we used one of the resort’s S-series Mercedes that guests can borrow). The views of the river and marshes are well worth the climb.
The tallest tree house at the Montage Palmetto Bluff offers spectacular views of the May River.
After climbing the treehouse, we rested in hammocks nearby.
Conservation is king at Montage Palmetto Bluff. Dr. Mary Socci, an on-site archaeologist, collaborates with both the developers and educates the guests on the rich ecological history of the area where woolly mammoth‘s roamed. Findings have dated back to 10,000 BC.
Dr. Mary Socci gives us a glimpse at the excavation results of the fossil rich area in the Conversancy reading room.
The conservation department has both an extensive reading library as well as a state of the art lecture and class room for programs to educate both residents and Inn guests with brown bag and First Friday lecture series.
Few resorts have artists in residence. The Montage offers a chance for guests and members to interact with local artisans throughout the year, offer a range as varied as traditional Lowcountry basket weaving, cocktail mixing, jewelry making, textile designs, hunting decoys and ice cream making.
Guests can learn from these artisans while often watching them in action.
Combined with the Conservancy program, I don’t think there’s an East Coast resort that rivals this varied programming for guests and its residents.
Moreland Village is brand new and offers a bowling alley and game room and an expansive studio for ceramics and art classes. Some of these amenities are for members, but others are available to all guests of the hotel.
This sun and art filled bowling alley will make you want to wear bowling shoes.
One of the things I loved so much about the property is how well the Montage’s West Coast casual luxe blends so nicely with a more formal Southern feel. Luxury in many forms to satisfy every style.
A topographic map decorates the most beautiful bowling alley you have ever seen, created by a well regarded Southern artist. The game room, off of Cole’s restaurant and lounge, offers shuffleboard, foosball, and pool tables.
Adjacent to the May River lies a special plot of land you are sure to pass many times during your stay. The dog cemetery lies near the church overlooking the river in Wilson Village. All that is left of the original residence after a fire is not far away in the middle of the green.
The dogs in the pet cemetery belonged to the Wilson family who built the original plantation and after whom the Wilson Village is named.
The chapel next to the dog cemetery is more commonly used for weddings than pet funerals these days.
Every day, the resort has three delicious traditions done well. Porching evolves into a verb at River House. Guests enjoy a tea and lemonade display with cookies in the late afternoon.
After dinner, guests can return to the same spot for some serious S’mores. The resort chef took a special Dutch import to transform the only S’mores bicycle around.
Palmetto Bluff offers flavored marshmallows like mint, caramel, and chocolate along with the classic flavor and milk and dark chocolate wafers for melting.
A S’mores bike for the win!
These offerings are free to guests every day. In between the two, there is another daily treat called Culinary Heirlooms. The resort chef prepares a local dish near the pool. I was thrilled to get the last portion of Frogmore Stew, a Lowcountry boil with shrimp, corn, potatoes, and sausage.
The last sample of Frogmore Stew was waiting for me.
The Montage Palmetto Bluff offers all of the traditional resort amenities. A Jack Nicklaus signature golf course and eight clay tennis courts provide golfers and tennis players their fix as well as daily clinics for those learning.
Bocce ball and croquet are available, though the grounds were soaked from rain when we found them on our biking adventure. The Palmetto Bluff Shooting Club offers thirteen clay shooting stations. Children aged six and older can participate in the archery program.
The Paintbox Program at the hotel offers both the traditional kids’ club environment with crafts, games, and movies, but the program utilizes the many features of the property as well.
Children can visit the stables and groom the horses, meet the hotel dogs (called canine ambassadors) during their daily pet and greet in the lobby. All of the labs are names after area rivers.
Though we didn’t do it, the resort offers a “Paint the Pony” experience, where kids three and older do not color by numbers. They paint a real pony!
Paintbox does a wonderful job of utilizing the full resort for various adventures.
The Montage Canine Ambassadors are labs names after the area rivers.
Most kids get very excited to participate in the Montage Merits program. Like many hotel scavenger hunts, the Montage takes it to a new level with fancy collectible pins for each experience children try on property.
My kids loved acquiring each pin associating a level of pride with every new one secured in their holder. This is what kept us so busy instead of lounging by the pool.
The Inn offers an adult pool located off of the fitness center and spa and the main resort pool with a peninsula like setting overlooking Bird Island, a massive mound of lush vegetation filled with beautiful birds.
The main resort pool at the Inn.
The main pool offers a nice kiddie pool and hot tub, and guests can order poolside lunches from Fore & Aft. Cabanas are first come first serve and provide some shade and privacy but no additional services.
The adult pool at the Montage Palmetto Bluff is off of the spa and fitness center.
The pool is mellow with no family slides, just pool noodles. Children actually spoke to each other and made friends without so many distractions. We hd a lovely conversation with a six-year-old girl from England explaining to my children why she didn’t know what grade she was in since the school system was different.
I squeezed a spa appointment in during one of my kids’ sessions at Paintbox and received a wonderful massage with my massage therapist. I couldn’t linger, but the spa is somewhat straightforward. There’s a lovely jacuzzi in the wet areas, but it is limited in terms of large lounge areas for couples.
There are many ways to enjoy the freshwater lagoons at the resort with borrowed kayaks and canoes. Daily fishing charters, dolphin and sunset cruises, and kayaking trips can provide every type of water activity.
There are also several daily water shuttles to places like Hilton Head Island and the Bluffton farmers’ market. There are also longer day tours to explore the beaches Daufuskie Island, the less crowded neighbor south of Hilton Head Island.
Even if you don’t get on a boat, you must visit the Montage Palmetto Bluff dock.
The Inn has guest rooms and suites upstairs that provide instant access to the spa, Paintbox (the kids’ club), a fitness center and pool, and the main resort pool.
We had a suite in one of the guest houses, however, and those are scattered near many smaller cottages facing the rivers or lagoons.
The free standing cottages and guest house suites at the Montage Palmetto Bluff are perfect for families.
Our one bedroom suite had an expansive layout with a large living room with fireplace and sleeper sofa, two bathrooms, and an enclosed porch with lounge and dining furniture.
The suite’s living room and enclosed porch overlooking the lagoon.
Our bathroom highlights were the freestanding tub with shuttered plantation shutters overlooking the property and a two person shower. Amenities were plentiful including travel size sprays of insect repellant. I am a mosquito magnet, and, fortunately, I didn’t find I needed to use it during our stay.
Our spacious bedroom came with a vanity area and full-sized walk-in closet.
The cottages are spacious and had a massive walk-in closet, two desk areas, and sufficient drawer space for a large family to spread out and settle in for a week.
Nestled among the many private residences, the Montage manages a few houses in the village, some up to four bedrooms, for those seeking a true vacation home experience with all of the resort amenities.
A resort this large has several restaurants, and we didn’t try them all. But what we tried was delicious.
Nothing rivaled breakfast in our screened in porch in the mornings. The scenery and views of the birds’ movements was a perfect start to each day.
We tried lunch at Jessamine and Fore & Aft and enjoyed dinners at Buffalo’s the resorts all-day restaurant in Wilson Landing.
For a Southern resort, I found meal times at night to be casual and easy on families. We didn’t try the more formal restaurants, but we will definitely return and try the Canoe Club and Cole’s for dinner.
The newest restaurant, Cole’s, and Moreland Village.
Palmetto Bluff is a truly special place. Checking out wasn’t easy. I got very used to seeing the backs of my children on their bicycles laughing and peddling to their next adventure while I tried to keep up.
I personally really embraced the casual vibe and enjoyed a break from the Southern resorts that parade a sea of navy blazers on their male guests of all ages at dinner. I think I even stopped putting on my make up during the stay and enjoyed air drying my hair by bicycle. And no, there are no pictures of this on purpose.
I recommend the Montage Palmetto Bluff for families who seek that perfect combination of outdoor adventure with understated luxury and sophisticated activities.
Although we were guests of the Montage Palmetto Bluff, these opinions are my own.
The Montage Palmetto Bluff is a magical place for kids of all ages. Children have the freedom to express their creativity, learn about the natural world, or just splash in the pool. As a luxury travel advisor, I help ensure your vacation goes off without a hitch. From the selection of the best cottages or rooms to the VIP welcome amenities, your trip to the Montage will have those little extra moments of joy.
My agency, DeSalvio Travel, has access to exclusive discounted rates, complimentary room upgrades at the time of booking, a $100 spa credit, free breakfasts, and personalized welcome amenities. Sure, you could book your trip on your own, but you’d miss out on hundreds of dollars in exclusive amenities, as well as personalized VIP treatment by the staff at Montage Palmetto Bluff.

I am driving in a rickety mini van (they don’t build these kind in the US; it’s way too small!) on my way to the local church in the countryside of Sichuan. The driver has just stopped to pick up another woman; she is attending the training we are giving this week. Sister Liu starts talking; her pitch gets higher with each statement…now she has completely turned around—sitting on her knees—facing us. She doesn’t care that she is not wearing seat belts. The van keeps bumping us up and down as it runs over potholes on the country road. She doesn’t care; she is too excited to tell her story.
“I used to work as a police officer for 11 years, “ she explains. “While there, my police chief told me about Jesus.” I think to myself, “yea right!” I ask our interpreter to confirm one more time to make sure I have heard correctly. “He went to church every Sunday,” she continues with a smile. Our interpreter confirms the story: wow, God revealed His love to her through a police chief. Is there anything that God can’t do? Obviously NOT.
God is moving in China and is allowing me another glimpse of His work in the largest country of the world.

It is sad to note that Instagram has a very limiting web version. All you can do is browse through your feed and stories. It is not possible to either direct message someone or upload photos & videos from the Instagram website on a computer. Those who are using Windows 10 are a bit lucky because an Instagram app for this Windows version exists. However, everyone else is suffering. Even so, there are solutions use Instagram on other systems like MAC or Linux.
The easiest way to send Instagram Direct Messages on PC or Mac is by using BlueStacks which is an emulator for Android. This is a program that lets you run Android applications on your computer. To get it, all you have to do is download it from their official website.
Once you have downloaded it and it is ready for use, you can click on the ‘my apps’ button then the ‘system app’ button. You will see the Google Play button; click on it. Search for Instagram and download it. When it is downloaded, install it, and it will be ready to use.
With the Instagram that you have downloaded, you can now do all you want on your computer. You can easily send direct messages like you would do when using a phone. Go to the right corner of the screen and click on the ‘Instagram Direct’ icon. You can then text anyone you like and enjoy communicating through Instagram on your PC or Mac.
When it comes to uploading, people have used numerous ways that have proved to be very hectic and an inconvenience. Those that use iPads are lucky because they can use their camera connection kit.
There is also the option of emailing a photo from the PC and then uploading it to Instagram. All these methods have their stress and problems. This brings us to the easiest way to go around this; Gramblr.

The state of Texas provides a fair amount of latitude to parents in determining custody arrangements and parenting plan schedules. Due to work, geographical separation and other issues, not all families can adopt a "5-2, 2-5" parenting plan that splits days and weekends equally between parents. As a result, parents have the option of entering into mediation or the collaborative law process in order to create a nonstandard parenting plan that makes the most sense for them and their children. At the law office of Gregory Hitt, I help parents create custody arrangements and parenting plans customized to the unique needs of their situation. Since the court must review and approve proposed parenting plans, I make sure your parenting plan incorporates issues of interest and concern to the court. Keep in mind that if you and your ex-spouse cannot agree on a parenting plan or custody arrangement, a judge will review your case and decide the matter for you.
If you are interested in creating a parenting plan custom-fitted to the unique needs of your situation, contact child custody lawyer Gregory Hitt today to schedule an appointment to discuss your case and how I can help you.
A common source of contention between parents is the sharing of expenses for vacations, medical coverage, education, music lessons, etc. In order to avoid potential problems and legal complications, it's in your best interest to address how certain financial issues will be handled with regard to custody and parenting time. For example, specifying who will pay for travel costs or costs associated with going on vacation can reduce the likelihood of arguments later. Additionally, it's also important for parents to understand that custody arrangements can affect the amount of child support a parent is ordered to pay. If custody is shared 50-50, it's very likely that the amount of child support paid will be reduced.
It's important for you to negotiate a child custody or parenting plan arrangement you won't regret for the rest of your life. Take the time to learn how careful planning now can save your regret and frustration later — contact Austin, Texas, parenting plan attorney Gregory Hitt today to schedule an appointment and discuss your case by calling 512-774-6696.

Elementary children between the ages of 6 and 12 (1st – 6th grades) have an abundance of energy and flourishing imaginations! It is an explosive period of social and intellectual growth that, in the right environment, leads to enlightened scholarship and responsible leadership.
The Montessori elementary curriculum takes an integrated, interdisciplinary approach to enable children to make sense of their world. The elementary child’s question, “I wonder why …” is answered by interactive lessons in botany, zoology, physics, mathematics, language, history, and geography.
Incorporation of various art techniques in students’ academic work integrates artistic expression with science and the humanities. Music can be heard throughout the morning as small groups of children sing and play songs and learn notation with specialized Montessori music materials, as well as recorders and keyboard instruments. Physical education is enjoyed daily on the 5-acre wooded campus, including a ¼-mile running trail.
Because of the elementary child’s voracious appetite for knowledge, the Montessori curriculum encompasses countless lessons that explain the workings of our universe, the organization and diversity of life on Earth, and the study and appreciation of all cultures since the beginning of Man. At the start of each school year, “Great Stories” are told that provide a curriculum framework and stimulate the children’s research, experimentation, and enthusiasm for learning.
Individualized and small group lessons, along with class discussions enable each child to learn at his or her own pace. Long, uninterrupted work periods allow scholars time to thoroughly research an area of interest. The multi-age grouping provides younger children with mentors and older children with opportunities to be compassionate leaders.
This is a learning community that supports and appreciates each child’s abilities and contributions. Small group projects and reports are enhanced by research trips to museums or visits to a professional in a given field of study. There is a commitment by the students to share what they have learned, and their presentations often stimulate new interests. Acquisition of knowledge is its own reward, so Montessori students tend to be self-disciplined and intrinsically motivated in their work.
Self-responsibility is fostered through maintaining student work journals. Students meet regularly with the teacher who monitors each child’s progress and schedule. Through careful observation, teachers know the proper time to introduce each new lesson and to supplement and reinforce learning concepts to ensure mastery of skills and concepts.
Every year, Mountain Laurel is proud to offer the exceptional opportunity to send our sixth students to participate in the Montessori Model United Nations Conference in New York City.
With this incredible experience, our students harness the multiple skills and discipline they have learned in preceding years, culminating in a globally oriented humanitarian problem solving effort that sharpens their skills in academics, leadership, and community service. They become true citizens of the world.
This work involves extensive research, analysis of cultural and global issues, public speaking, informed debate, and realistic problem solving for real world problems. In the past, our students have chosen to represent the interests of Kenya, North Korea, and Pakistan. The project becomes a spring-board for academic skills and success to which they will have access throughout their academic career.
The Mountain Laurel Community is proud to support this once-in-a-life-time experience for our students.

I’ve always believed in the intrinsic beauty of imperfection and I’m drawn to the unusual, the challenging and the mysterious within creativity and art.
Often I feel connected to the stories and people of bygone eras, the people that I’ve met on my travels and the characters that have inspired me in films. Storytelling and creating a narrative has been something that I’ve been doing for as long as I can remember.
My work is motivated by a belief that images can be a powerful way to make a statement, to create a mood and to capture a moment in time, without using any words.
I believe in effortless, truthful styling, allowing a persons true character to shine through. Or to create an image that’s pure fantasy and make-believe and to play with various aspects of the personality and the psyche.
Currently I hold the title of Womenswear Fashion Editor at FAULT Magazine as well as undertaking freelance styling and art direction for brands, celebrities and magazines.

TOKYO and SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- February 27, 2008 -- The University of Tokyo and Sun Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: JAVA) today announced two joint research projects that will focus on High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Web-based programming languages.
Some of you knew about this from Tim Bray's rather cryptic announcement at RubyConf. The basic idea here is that we on the JRuby team and folks in Professor Ikuo Takeuchi's group at the University of Tokyo will be cooperating to come up with an MVM specification and implementations for the Ruby 1.9 and JRuby codebases. Tom and I have had brief discussions with Professor Koichi Sasada (ko1, creator of YARV) about this already, and there are mailing lists and wikis already running. I've also made sure that Evan Phoenix, of Rubinius, is included in the discussions. Like JRuby, Rubinius largely has MVM features implemented, but the eventual form they'll take and API they'll present is up in the air.
This should be an exciting collaboration between Sun and U Tokyo, as well as between the three most functional next-generation Ruby implementations. I'll certainly keep you posted on all MVM developments as they come up, and I welcome any comments or suggestions you might have.
What is a "Web-based programming language"?
@glenn: Yes, this work is unrelated to the Java MVM work that's been ongoing for some time. But it's not unreasonable to think of JRuby as being a "mini VM" for Ruby on top of the JVM, so our use of MVM seems appropriate...especially since what we provide with multiple JRuby instances on a single JVM will fill the same requirement as "real" MVM on Ruby 1.9 and Rubinius.

January is a pretty dismal month for all of us but if there is one highlight for us, it is the Bright ‘n’ Breezy 2019 backgammon tournament. My husband plays in the tournament. But for me it is a perfect excuse to enjoy a day’s shopping in Brighton. This weekend I mooched around the North Lanes near the Station and discovered sensory overload.
But as more and more people are seduced my online shopping, I cannot resist extolling the merits of supporting local shops.
You might like the look of an item of clothing but you cannot pick it up and hold it up against yourself.
You cannot feel the softness of the wool, the weight of the fabric nor appreciate the colours in a different light.
I would never have imagined how much the stones sparkled on a brooch I found in a Bric a Brac shop called Snooper’s paradise. I didn’t even know such shops existed any more.
Furthermore there were shops selling crafts, paintings, books and vinyl. How cool is that?
With lots of food shops and delicatessens to visit, there is an array of local and hand made goodies to sample. You would never be able to taste that cheese on a website.
Added to the flavours are a medley enticing smells be they garlic bread, mexican street food, home made cakes, perfume, patchouli oil and many more.
You cannot feel the breeze on your face or the warmth of the sun when it breaks out from behind a cloud.
Last of all, you cannot hear the buzz of conversation or see the smiles on people’s faces.
Online shopping has changed our lives but I hope we never lose the personal touch, that part of us that reminds us we are still human when we visit our high street.

text: Strictly speaking, 1975 was not an ideal vintage. Spring was cold and bud break was late, although flowering took place in good conditions. The summer was warmer than usual but did include a number of August storms. Harvest began on 29 September and needed to be completed quite quickly, as the weather soon worsened. A small crop produced wines high in acidity, which gave many 1975 Champagnes the structure for long ageing.

Rumor has it that the day before Thanksgiving is the busiest air travel day of the year. A different summer day, usually in July or August, actually ends up being the busiest travel day each year, according to the Department of Transportation. More travelers have opted to travel Thanksgiving morning versus the day before.
The day before Thanksgiving ranks within the top 10 busiest travel days of the year, but summer peak travel days are busier. The roads still will be crowded the day before Thanksgiving, so to cut down on travel stress, get an early start. Travel peaks between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m.
If you just want to get away and don’t necessarily care about destination, you can find last-minute travel deals. Some popular tourist destinations aren’t as busy during the Thanksgiving holiday because people travel “home for the holidays.” Don’t forget about international travel deals as well.
You won’t be able to use your miles on sold-out flights, but if you have a flexible schedule and can fly out a few days earlier or later than planned, you might be able to use miles.
According to the Bureau of Transporation, the Friday before Thanksgiving (6 days before) is the worst day for delays.

The Seventh-Day Adventist Christian church was established in 1863 in New York, but today it maintains headquarters in Beirut, Lebanon, and Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates as well as in the US. As a part of the church’s vision to serve members around the world, the Church records and streams live events globally via their website and social media, including YouTube. By doing so, they are able to reach their followers and other interested people who are unable to attend in person.
Responding to demand from the community for an improved streaming experience and higher quality video delivery, the church decided to upgrade their systems from analogue to digital SDI. Because their earlier system had required combining and synchronizing audio and video components manually with clapper boards, resulting in poor audio quality, and relied on a lengthy post production process, the Seventh-Day Adventist Church also started looking for a simpler set-up and workflow.
The Church’s team wanted to use recordings based on the H.264 codec, which preserves quality and outputs manageable file sizes when compared to DNxHD or RAW formats. They are now deploying the Matrox Monarch HDX streaming and recording appliance, a dual-channel H.264 encoder that supports SDI inputs, for their live events.
The first encoder they tested allowed the audio to drift after about 20 minutes of recording, but when they tested the Monarch HDX, its performance was reliable and consistent with the original recording. It also integrates with the church’s existing SDI AV system and, as well as accurately synchronizing the audio and video and maintaining video quality, it produces smaller sized MOV or MP4 files and is simple for their staff to operate.
From a SDI or HDMI input source such as a camera or switcher, the Monarch HDX generates two H.264-encoded video streams at bitrates from 200 Kbps to 30 Mbps. Frame-synchronization, scaling, deinterlacing and noise reduction engines ensure that high quality images are sent to the encoders. For streaming, the encoders use either RTMP or RTSP protocol to deliver live streams to local or cloud-based media servers. On the recording side, the encoders write MP4 or MOV files to local USB drives, SD cards or network-mapped drives for post-event editing or archiving. Meanwhile, the dedicated encoder displays a remote preview of the input.
The church brings together hundreds of people from all over the UAE for weekly services. Monarch HDX is used to live stream these services and record them at the same time to be edited and distributed as video on demand. During special events, local and internationally known preachers, speakers and musicians join the congregation.
The church’s recent four-day festival called ‘Campmeeting’, an annual event that grows every year, was held in Ras Al Khaimah with over 1,000 attendees and was the first event that the church broadcast using Monarch HDX. Campmeeting brings together diverse people from all over the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, Europe and the US, who have a chance to meet, learn together and listen to some of the world’s best sermons and Christian music.
At the festival, SDI digital video cameras were connected to a video switcher and from there, the SDI signal was fed into the Monarch HDX. Presentations were streamed at high quality and low bitrate, and simultaneously recorded for archiving and future reference.
Matrox has now upgraded the Monarch HDX with the integration of closed captioning capture and streaming support, which gives broadcasters like those at the Seventh-Day Adventist Church greater options to transmit accessible video - from broadcast to digital signals - to all of their online viewers.
Monarch HDX retrieves captioning data from the SDI VANC or line 21, then embeds the data within the H.264 essence as CEA-608. Caption-enhanced content can be streamed via RTMP to media servers such as Wowza or content delivery networks including YouTube Live or Ustream, or recorded as MOV/MP4 files, and then be decoded by players such as Telestream Switch.

On the way to Mt. Popa and Table Mountain, a popular tourist site southeast of Bagan, Burma, our guide parked alongside the road and led us into a small village. It’s one of the many memories of our recent trip to Myanmar that I’ll never forget. Back in 2011, I enjoyed Walking a Village outside of Varanasi, India on the way to Sarnath to visit Buddhist sites. After that experience, I vowed that I would continue to use this method of “slow travel” during future trips. I was not disappointed.
As we entered the village, we were enthusiastically greeted by small children. Some were shy, but most warmed up to me after I crouched to their level.
As we walked among the thatch-roof huts, we introduced ourselves to a family sow and her brood who scurried away to hide underneath a nearby yam patch.
I was impressed with the use of solar panels in the village. One panel could power a small 6-inch TV. One home owner proudly showed how he could charge batteries to power a radio or a smart phone. He showed us his living space. I noticed that his motorcycle was kept inside, under the thatched roof.
A group of villagers were busy harvesting peanuts. They smiled as we passed by.
We didn’t meet many older children because they were in school. So we stopped on by to take a look at the classrooms before we returned to our vehicle.
Should you go to Burma? The answer is a resounding YES! I can still feel the memories of Myanmar coursing through my body and my jet-lagged brain. “This is Burma,” wrote Rudyard Kipling over a century ago. “It is quite unlike any place you know about.” His words are true even today. Everywhere you’ll encounter men wearing skirt-like longyi; children and women with thanakha (traditional make-up) on their cheeks; and grannies smoking cheroots, chewing betel nuts and spitting red juice. There are no Starbucks, McDonalds, or Kentucky Fried Chickens—yet.
The October/early November “shoulder season” is a great time of year to go there. Although it rained during our first two days in Yangon, the wet season is generally over; the countryside is lush and fresh; and the tourist season is just beginning.
I was fortunate to be in Burma during a rare press conference held by Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, held a week prior to President Obama’s recent visit. She warned the U.S. not to be “too optimistic,” and that promised reforms have slowed during the past two years. The government’s emphasis, she explained, has been on economic advances rather than human rights.
Suu Kyi opened the press conference in Yangon with Obama last week by addressing reports of tension between the U.S. and those working for democratic reforms in Myanmar: “We may view things differently from time to time but that will in no way affect our relationship,” the Associated Press reported. Burma is clearly counting on the support of the west.
It’s a heady time for the people of Burma. In 2010, Myanmar held its first free elections in two decades. Even though the country’s progress on the road to democracy is two steps forward and one step back, there’s a cautious optimism in the air. The 2015 elections are coming up next fall. I could sense the spark of hope and excitement. Just maybe they will change the constitution so that “The Lady” can run. And just maybe the generals will delete the clause they added that allows them to have 25% of the parliamentary seats no matter what the vote tally shows. Everyone I queried says they would vote for The Lady. Of course. She has given up her life, her freedom, and her family—all for the people—quite a sacrifice.
Restrictions have definitely relaxed since my last visit to Burma in 2006. During a two-day cruise up the Irrawaddy River to Mandalay, I was surprised that the Paukan cruise line could show the film, “The Lady” (see movie trailer) released in 2012. Even so, the film is still not allowed in Burmese theaters.
We had the opportunity to see much of Burma through “independent travel,” which allowed us more free time to digest what we had seen and learned before rushing home or on to another country. Many of the tourists we met were heading from Yangon, the largest city, to Bagan with its 3200 pagodas, and then to Mandalay, the ancient capital of the kings. By expanding the itinerary of a typical trip and seeing only one country, we could take the time to go deeper into the interior. Swaths of the country, off-limits for years, can now be visited. I fell in love with the fertile farms of Shan state, the mountain villages of Pindaya, and the fishing villages of Inle Lake. We saw people getting around in trishaws or horse-and-cart and farming with little or no mechanization.
It wasn’t all easy travel. Beyond Yangon, Burma is still a third-world country. In the interior, I had to let go of internet, phone and e-mail. However, I’m very glad I went there. And I urge you to go as well!
We are asked this question when our friends find out that we are off to yet another adventure on Saturday.
This first business park will employ 70,000 workers when running at full tilt. It will provide food, consumer products and construction materials for the domestic market and will export shoes, clothing and car parts. Two other such parks are planned.
When I visited Burma back in 2006 (see previous blog entry: Burma, my next favorite Place) the big question was: Should you go to Burma? Aun Lang Suu Kyi, Burmese Peace Prize Laureate and opposition leader, had asked tourists not to come because the money would only prop up the dictatorship. The income from the hotels would go straight into the government’s coffers. Even so, most of the people I talked with welcomed tourism anyway. They wanted to sell whatever goods they could in their meager stalls. Now, they are beaming. Because tourism is booming.
Investors are dreaming about investing in Myanmar. The country sits right between the massive markets of China and India to the north and Thailand to the south. It abounds in arable land, water and natural resources: oil, natural gas and precious stones such as jade, rubies and sapphires. From 2010 to 2013, foreign direct investment tripled. But the picture isn’t all rosy. There needs to be massive investment in education to create a well-trained work force. The average Burmese spends just four years in school!
We’ll be there for almost three weeks. And most of that time, I’ll be off the grid. I’ll post stories and pictures after I return.
After book presentations and during conversations with friends upon returning from a trip, this question invariably comes up: What was your favorite place?
My count of countries visited now totals over one hundred. So how can I possibly choose just one? One year after returning from my travels, I realized that I had been struggling with this “favorite place” question because I had been approaching it all wrong. There is a simple and obvious answer for a traveler afflicted by wanderlust: my favorite place is always the place where (a) I haven’t been or (b) my visit there was too short.
So this year, my next favorite place is Burma (Myanmar). Back in 2006, I traveled there by bus from Phuket, Thailand on a one-day visa run. All I experienced after a long, bumpy ride was crossing a river in a panga, walking a block to the border station to have my passport stamped, and returning to the bus. Our yacht, Pacific Bliss, was docked in Phuket, undergoing repairs before crossing the Indian Ocean, so the following month when the once-a-month visa renewal was due I decided to fly to Yangon for a three-day weekend. That trip gave me a taste of Burma I’ll never forget. But it was just an appetizer. Now I’m preparing for the main course.
This autumn, Gunter and I are looking forward to a three-week Burmese adventure, to be conducted in our typical “slow travel” style. We’ve selected a standard 10-day country tour and added a special Paukan cruise down the mighty Irrawaddy River and three days at a seaside resort to write and relax before crossing the International Date Line again during the long flight home. We’ll begin our tour at the Inya Lake Hotel where I stayed in 2006 and repeat my visit to the Shwedagon Pagoda. We’ll travel on to view the ancient temples of Bagan. And we’ll see Mandalay and the famous Pindaya Caves.

It’s no secret that saxophonist and composer Martin Küchen and the various incarnations of his Angles group are quite beloved on the Free Jazz Blog. Not without reason since it can seem, at times, that Angles under Küchen’s guidance really are incapable of producing mediocre music. “Injuries” is another release by the Angles nonet, Angles 9, and the musicians and their music remain as wonderful as they’ve ever been.
Martin Küchen and his cohorts present us with big band music that frames grand and expansive moments within minimalist and quite improvisational borders. It is exhilarating, shiver-inducing music, but with a contemplative and spiritual thread passing through it. Imagine that: free, improvised music that you can almost hum and dance to! The record can feel so musical and uplifting at times that you’ll feel guilty for enjoying it so much. And yet, the music never even comes close to being corny or tacky. Instead, it successfully bridges intellectually challenging and emotionally fulfilling sonic dimensions. This is especially evident when the band is at full force, when an incredible energy and passion, a certain pathos almost, starts sweeping over the listener. A pathos that is easily associated with the message that lies in the background. A message that can be interpreted as a warning and a plea for peace, a message that is akin to the voice and ideas behind Charlie Haden’s Liberation Music Orchestra. Simultaneously, African and Latino rhythms that lurk between the lines, the syncopated drumming, and blaring horn section might remind us of African musicians such as Mulatu Astatke. It all amounts to charged and powerful music, plain and simple.
Take the opening “European Boogie” which booms and swings in the vein of early free jazz, the beautiful “Eti” that is opened by a progression on piano and vibraphone only to be joined by a full-bodied horn section which will send shivers down your spine, “Ubabba” which rocks along with remnants of afrobeat and an inherent sense of joy, or the title track “Injuries” which is a vibrating, nervous, and piano-dominated almost free improv track... There’s something special to be found on each track and hardly any negatives. The only thing that might bother some is the accessibility and a mirage of mundanity of the music, but this is easily and quickly forgotten once you dig into the music and completely fathom the ease with which the band manages their performance. They take simple, memorable themes, and develop the tunes around them, leaving ample space for improvisations which mostly come in the form of interludes between louder, busier group efforts. The rhythm section can feel rather straightforward, but this is down to the somewhat strict role it has in maintaining the band’s cohesiveness. On the other hand, the wind section emerges as the main carrier of themes, introduced quite often by the vibraphone and piano. While a certain level of homogeneity is required and upheld, the musicians are actually given many chances to express themselves. Based on the performances, it would actually be unfair to single out any of the musicians here since they all make significant contributions to the music, both as parts of a whole and as soloists.
I feared, before listening to the album, that recording in a studio rather than in front of a live audience would somehow diminish or harm the rendition of Angles 9’s music. Fortunately, my fears were unfounded since the warmth and exhilaration in their approach are as present as ever and there’s not a sign of straying from the energy that they exhibit while performing live. In closing, I can only say that instead of reading this review you should already be listening and experiencing “Injuries” by yourself. It’s the only way to fully understand.
Fully agree + I embedded the trailer video. Thanks for pointing it out, Martin!
One of the best albums of the year!

ROMULUS, Mich – A large amount of money is missing, 900 million to be exact, and people want answers. If the culprit in question were you or I, we would find ourselves in a lot of hot water, having to answer some pretty tough questions.
Unfortunately, when the thief is a CEO, a different set of rules often applies.
The person who should be on the “hot seat” is Richard Dugas, Chairman and President of Michigan-based PulteGroup Inc., the nation’s largest homebuilder.
In 2010 Pulte Group received $900 million from the Worker Home Ownership and Business Assistance Act of 2009. Pulte had lobbied for the bill’s passage. The act was intended by Congress and President Obama to be a job-creation measure. One year later, workers are still waiting for those jobs.
While Dugas remains free to enjoy the life a salary and compensation of $6.6 million (his total for 2010) can bring, a coalition of labor, faith and social justice advocates are increasingly putting Pulte in the spotlight. And, their anger is growing.
On May 11, at Pulte’s annual shareholders meeting in a Detroit airport hotel, seven people peacefully staged a non-violent civil disobedience by sitting in the roadway and blocking a bus bringing Pulte’s executives to the meeting.
“Where is the money, where are the jobs,” the large crowd broke out chanting.
James White, director of organizing for the Sheet Metal Workers Union said that money was given by the President to create jobs, not a CEO bonus. “It’s time somebody is held accountable and it’s time somebody went to jail,” he declared.
Not only has PulteGroup not hired additional workers it has laid off 350 at their Tolleson, Arizona plant and paid $10 million dollars in employee severance and related costs.
Williams and White are calling for a congressional hearing to look into the missing money.
Pulte’s list of wrongs is deep. A fact-finding delegation from Interfaith Workers for Justice has previously reported that Pulte employees work in unsafe conditions, are not paid for overtime, work 60 to 70 hours a week to make ends meet and lack health care and other benefits.
Demonstrators also want them held accountable for pushing adjustable rate mortgages that contributed to the economic and foreclosure crisis.
As Williams said, labor has vowed to be everywhere Dugas appears. In December he was to be the keynote speaker at the Detroit Economic Club’s luncheon. However when word got out that labor and community folks were going to be there to greet him, he “ran” and the whole luncheon was cancelled.
At the recent rally it was clear to everyone there that the wrong people were being arrested. However for Pulte, it is also becoming clear that sooner or later they will have to account for the $900 million.

can you exchange a commemorative coin for face value at a bank?
I have a 1oz. silver commemorative coin from a foreign country and am curious if I can exchange it for paper currency at face value of the coin which shows 10,000,000 lira.
I doubt you will find a bank willing to exchange for anything not intended for circulation.
When the US Government is given the constitutional power to do something, is it assumed that they must do it?
Article 1, Section 8 “The Congress shall have power to … coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures” Must they to coin money and regulate it? Are they then prohibited from removing coin money (eg. gold, silver) from the market?
No, I suppose the federal government technically doesn’t have to coin money just because they have the power to, but our economy operates on the fact that they do. The important thing about that provision when the Constitution was written was that the federal government has the *exclusive* power to coin money. Under the Articles of Confederation, each state had the power to coin their own money and it was economic chaos.
Bought some coins from a guy today. Paid $10 for 9 coins. Wanted to see what they are worth, of if anyone knows where to look up old foreign coin values online, that would be great, I have a couple hundred. The conditions I have listed are just my guess based on coins that I have bought that have been graded. I have a 1913 1/2 Mark J that was rated Very Fine and most of these coins are better than that, other than the 5 and 10 Pfennig coins. I believe they are all some percentage silver, not sure about the 1937 though.
Thanks. Didn’t think of looking on ebay. Yeah, definitely made my $10 back! Not looking to sell them, I collect German stuff and saw these and had to have them.
If you want book values, there are a number of online sources. I can’t give them to you, because I deal with real, live prices. I know of several auction sites that handle mid to high end coins, and eBay is one of them, but for what you have, eBay is the only place that deals with inexpensive singles.
You can find most, if not every one of what you have. You can compare your condition against those. From what I saw, you made out pretty good. You got your $10 back, at least, just on the three 1 Mark issues.
Would Liberals Ever Support Ending the FED?
Liberal progressive Democrat Woodrow Wilson gave us the Federal Reserve Banking System and I know how liberals look with admiration to President Wilson for his massive expansion of Federal government power and control. Further, I suppose liberals also appreciate the massive power and secrecy the FED enjoys in it’s issuance of fiat currency instead of what the Founding Father’s intended with Article One of the United States Constitution “To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures”.
I wonder if liberal’s admiration of Woodrow Wilson’s gift of the Federal Reserve Bank and the IRS could be changed into a desire to return our money system to the gold and silver coin standard that worked so well?
They would never support abolishing the FED, because the institution gives us inflation.
And inflation is the hidden tax on wealth — every year people, who have money, lose somewhere between 1 and 3% (when the inflation is “low”) of their savings.
i have googled till my fingers fell off. Some i found and just want to check and some i’ve had trouble finding.
Condition is everything here, and since you don’t say, I will assume these are all the typical circulated condition for the year.
The only really good ones you have are the two US silver dollars. The 1921-D would be worth a dollar or two over the silver value of $27 currently. A dealer would pay maybe $22. The 1891 -CC is a scarcer coin from the famous Carson City mint, and is worth in the $70-$90 range to a collector. A dealer might pay $50. It this one shows little or no wear and much of the original luster, it will go well over $100.
The only other coin with any silver is the German 1/2 mark, and it’s worth $4 – $5. If the buffalo nickel has a strong date, it’s worth a dollar, if not, 25 cents. The rest of them are common, made of cupro-nickel or bronze, and are the kind of coins you see in a coin shop in the 25 cents world coin box.
Why Do Liberals Resist Returning To Real, Constitutional US Money?
The Constitution says the Federal government is “to coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures” and “to provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States”.
What would be wrong with abolishing liberal, progressive Democrat President Woodrow Wilson’s fake money and return to gold and silver coin, as the Constitution mandates?
Ace doesn’t get the concept. You can still have your Visa card and banks.
Mattle doesn’t have a clue what happened to our money in 1913.
They defend the FED and don’t know what it is. They just don’t get it and won’t take the time to find out what the FED really is.
I am not a liberal, but a republican. I am not really answering your question, but asking you one. Do you have any questions that you would like to ask where you have the underlying facts and issues correct? So far, I haven’t seen one though I haven’t read all of your questions, so you may surprise me.
Are mexican 2 pesos gold coin a decent investment value?
I’ve never bought gold or silver before and I’m thinking starting to buy a few coins here and there to start a very small reserve. The cheapest common gold coins I’ve found online are Mexican 2 pesos for about $88 per coin with $6 shipping. I’ve read that foreign currency coins such as British Sovereigns, French 20 Francs, South African Krugerrands, Austrian 100 Coronas, Mexican 50 Pesos are good values because they cost less per ounce then traditional American Ealges, so you get more gold for your money.
Does the same principle apply for Mexican 2 pesos? Any of the others I mentioned cost $500 or more per coin, and while I may eventually start buying that much, for now all I’m really looking to do is spend an occasional $50-$100, and gather a few coins over time.
I’ve got some other ideas for silver, but as far as gold goes would Mexican 2 pesos be a good way to go?
Seems fine to me, it’s good to buy in regular increments so you are automatically dollar-cost averaging your way into the market, which lowers your risk of trying to time the market for a large purchase.
Mexican 2 pesos gold coins are 90% gold, AGW .0482 oz and don’t carry a stiff premium so I say go for it.
buying silver and gold question?
I’ve been buying silver and gold for a few years now. Bulk us/foreign junk, bars, and some collectible coins that I find interesting. I have a few questions. I check Kitco for my prices. Does the price continue to change in Europe, and on weekends after NY is closed? For example: I’m in Chicago, about 2:00am Sat. looking at Fri close. Will prices be changing in London, and Japan during there business hours? Question #2. I only have about 10oz Gold, but I have about 500oz of silver 1, & 10oz bars. (safe space is becoming an issue). I would like to sell some of the silver, and buy more gold. Is there a math formula to figure the buy, sell to value of each so I’m not screwing myself? I’m not very experienced at any of this. It started as a hobby about 5yrs back, and now that I have seen how much metals have grown I’m more interested. Any help would be great.
A question about my coin collection.?
I have an extensive collection of old US and foreign coins and currency. Like a penny from 1823 another one from 1849. I have what I think is a French half dollar (which ever currency they used) from 1842. I have a 2 1/2 cent coin from like 1887 with Polk’s face on the back. I even have a couple Reich Marks that we given to me from my friend who found them (in all places) in the desert of Iraq while fighting in Fallujah. I have many other such rare coins and of course bunches of old dimes, nickles, half and silver dollars, all in good condition.
The main question I have, is there a way for myself to determine the value, in today’s currency, of these coins without going to some “expert” and possibly being screwed over on their real value? And not just coins I have some rare paper currency as well.
I would recommend a few books. First, the Red Book that gives retail values for all US coins. Second, the Blue Book that gives wholesale values for all US coins. Third, the Standard Catalog of World Coins which has separate volumes for each century. Fourth, a Guide Book of US Paper Money that give wholesale values for all US paper money. These books are issued annually, and you might be able to find used versions of these at your local library, on Amazon, or elsewhere, but they would give you a good start. They also give you a very brief overview of how to grade your items. I hope this helps.

Although Northern Arizona enjoyed a wet winter, the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office would like people to be prepared for the spring, a time when the forest and grass lands dry out and are more vulnerable to wild fire. The Coconino County Sheriff’s Office wants you to be prepared. Over the next several weeks, we’ll be posting information on the Coconino Sheriff Facebook page to help you take proactive measures as outlined by Ready, Set, Go!
The fifteen Arizona Sheriff’s adopted Ready, Set, Go! (RSG), a program that educates residents about proactive measures to take before an emergency. Ready, Set, Go is the standard language that will issued to the public and actions to follow when communities are threatened by wildfire. The program’s three tenets encourage Arizonans to get READY by preparing now for what threatens their community, be SET by maintaining awareness of significant danger and to GO, evacuate immediately when the danger is current and life-threatening.
“The Sheriffs of Arizona have partnered with the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs, fire community and emergency management to provide information to help the public and our communities prepare for situations that could result in evacuations,” said Sheriff Jim Driscoll.
Be aware of hazards that can threaten your community.
Create defensible space around your home by keeping grass mowed short and trimming vegetation.
Ø Build an emergency supplies kit. Start with the five P’s: people and pet supplies, prescriptions, papers, personal needs and priceless items.
There is significant danger in your area.
Consider voluntarily relocating to a shelter or with family/friends outside of the affected area.
This might be the only notice you receive.
Danger in your area is current and life-threatening.
Evacuate immediately to a shelter or to family/friends outside the affected area.
Follow instructions from emergency personnel, and stay on designated evacuation routes.

Eagle Eye Networks - MMV Contracting Ltd.
The encoder allows the transmission of the camera data to a secure remote server, then users have the ability to login from anywhere that allows a web browser to access the internet, to their site, password controlled and user permission defined, to view either live or recorded images, possible alarm events and for us as the installer the ability to check upon the health of your systems, without having to leave our office – again more savings to be had by our clients, along with PROACTIVE support, quite often we would know of an issue with your system before you did and quite possibly even rectified it before you knew you had the problem in the first place!
The Eagle Eye Cloud Security Camera VMS includes an integrated motion detection and object-based analytics system. This provides a variety of features, which recognize motion and objects in your video, and can be used to send intelligent notifications. To help decide which feature(s) will work best for you, we have broken down their functions below. If you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at +1-512-473-0500.
Motion Detection is included with all camera subscriptions. It can be used to generate alerts and control when a camera records full video.
Object Counting, Line Crossing, and Intrusion Detection are all analytics, available as an add-on to any camera subscription.
Intrusion Detection – Generates alerts when an object is detected within a defined area.
Line Crossing – Tracks objects and knows when they cross a designated line. Alerts can be generated when the line is crossed in a specific direction. For example, a camera pointed towards an exit door can generate alerts when someone leaves the building. This is different than Intrusion Detection, which can alert when an object enters a designated area from any direction.
Object Counting – Tracks objects when they cross a designated line and provides a real-time count on-screen in the video preview. Alerts are not generated.
Which is better, Motion Detection or Intrusion Detection?
Motion Detection works on changing pixels which means motion can be triggered by anything moving in the video. This means trees, reflections, flying insects when using night vision, will be seen as motion.
Using the default settings, motion will never be missed in a scene. If your goal is to minimize recorded events, saving time when it comes to viewing them, this can be a challenge depending on the type of scene. For example, an outdoor camera, which has a lot of moving plants or trees due to the wind, or an indoor scene near a window, which has reflections, will trigger motion. Regions can be used to mask motion detection around these areas, but it can be difficult to only trigger motion when a person or car is in the scene.
Why does it matter? Reducing the amount of video to sort through makes a big difference when you need to find an event. If you have low bandwidth, adjusting the motion detection is even more important, because all full resolution video where motion occurs is transmitted to the Eagle Eye Cloud.
Motion Events and Analytic Events are shown in the history browser, making them easy to find. Graphs are also available for both.

An action plan aimed at preventing a repeat of last year's devastating flooding incidents which saw one person die and more than a 100 homes affected is set to be approved.
Walsall Council's cabinet will meet on Wednesday (March 20) where members are expected to give the green light to its flood risk management strategy.
In May last year, 82-year-old Evesham man Peter Harnwell tragically died when his car became submerged in water in Lichfield Road, Walsall, when flash floods hit the region.
The nearby Ladypool burst is banks and sent water gushing into the road and collected under the railway bridge.
During the heavy rainfall, more than 120 properties in areas including Aldridge, Streetly, Bloxwich and Willenhall suffered internal flooding.
A report to cabinet says the authority is looking to secure external funding to further boost flood alleviation measures to tackle future incidents.
It also said that prior to the May 2018 flash floods, the council had assisted in bringing about road closures and instructed highways maintenance contractor Tarmac to undertake emergency gully cleaning, be ready to issue sandbags and have on call operators ready to respond where required.
Following the incident, council teams provided support to affected residents, cleaned up hotspot areas, carried out reviews of its gully and street cleaning and held meetings with other agencies to exchange information and learn lessons from previous incidents.
The authority will now continue to develop its action plan to bolster defences in the event of future incidents.
The report said: "On the 27 May 2018 the weather was characterised by warm, humid conditions, with a south-easterly weather front and localised thunderstorms accompanied by intense rainfall.
"In addition Members will recall the tragic incident that happened on the A461 Lichfield Road, Rushall on the evening of 27 May 2018.
"Working with partners, the council will continue to explore opportunity to bring forward flood alleviation measures where it is able to do so.
"The council will continue to develop a ‘Flood Incident Plan’ that will comprise a review of the known flood hotspots to further refine incident planning pre and post flood event.
"It is recommended that Cabinet support the development of a ‘Flood Incident Plan’ setting out aims, objectives and roles for the council and its partners before, during and after a flood event."
