Well, Sean’s first impressions that is. My good friend and bicycle buddy Sean Lee-Siebels arrived yesterday morning in Amsterdam. I met Sean almost ten years ago in a dorm room at Whitman College; he was freshman year roommates with my high school boyfriend who I was visiting for the weekend. A lot has happened since Sean and I first met in that dorm room. We finished college, relationships started and ended, we had loved ones die, we made new friends, we traveled the world, we started our careers, we became independent. Sean and I reconnected shortly after college when we both moved to Seattle and started playing on the same indoor soccer team, Medium Rare. Medium Rare quickly became a core part of my Seattle social life; my Medium Rare teammates were my go-to group for Friday happy hours and weekend trips. Nearly everyone on the team had a shared love for numerous other sports and outdoor recreation. Together, we’ve hiked and skied in the Cascades, surfed on the Olympic Peninsula, floated down the Twisp River, sailed to Blake Island, and biked along the Yakima River.
My friend Derek (far left) is wearing his favorite pants in this picture. The pants were formerly owned by my Mom. Sorry Mom.
Sean is an avid city biker. He doesn’t own a car and he bikes almost everywhere he goes in Seattle. I always admired Sean for being a bike commuter but didn’t think it was for me. A little over a year ago I was working on a project for the Cascade Bicycle Club and began thinking about cycling a lot more as I was doing research and work on the project. I told Sean that I was interested in bike commuting but that I was a little intimidated by biking downtown. He reassured me that I would be fine and—like a lot of people who bike commute—he shared with me that his rides around the city were one of the most enjoyable parts of his day. Finally one summer morning I decided to bike into work. Several of us were meeting to play tennis after work at the Greenlake tennis courts and I realized that to get from my Madrona apartment to work to Greenlake and then back to Madrona would either require multiple hours on a bus, driving into work, or biking. I decided to bike. I left my apartment early to avoid rush hour and took advantage of the calm morning streets. I went down streets I didn’t usually go on, noticed new buildings on Capitol Hill that I’d never stopped to look at, and felt refreshed when I got to work. Sean met me after work that day at my office on 1st and spring and gave me a few tips about biking in downtown rush hour traffic. I followed his lead as he slipped by waiting cars at traffic lights to get to the front of the intersection and was amazed by how quickly we made it to Lower Woodlands for our tennis game. The tennis game didn’t go so well for me, but I was hooked on bike commuting after that day and I partially have Sean to thank for giving me the extra push I needed.
Sean brought his bike from the US and reassembled it at the airport yesterday morning before biking into the city to meet me. We spent most of yesterday biking around getting lost, drinking beers, people watching, and even splurged and did a touristy canal tour.
Sean and I are both impressed by how skilled bikers in Amsterdam are. Yesterday was a gorgeous, sunny day and all of Amsterdam seemed to be in parks, eating and drinking at outdoor cafes, and taking boat rides in the canals. We saw a man riding a rickety bike one-handed while eating a double-scoop ice cream cone. His girlfriend was riding side-saddle on the back and also eating an ice cream cone. What impressed us was that this man and his girlfriend seemed utterly relaxed and very focused on their bright fuchsia, berry-flavored ice cream while they were maneuvering through a busy intersection full of pedestrians, tourists, other bikers, and a few cars. When I was speaking with Kristen van den Hul a few days ago, founder of the Change Agent, she told me that she learned how to bike before she learned how to walk. Cycling situations that might be stressful to a new cyclist are routine and uneventful to most Dutch cyclists. When I met with Kristen she had actually just come from purchasing her first car ever. She bought a vintage sports car and was taking it out to her mother’s house in the country later that day because she had no where to park it. There are five-year waiting lists for parking permits in Amsterdam and street parking is between 5 and 4 Euros per hour in the city depending on where you are. Gas also costs about $10 USD per gallon in Holland right now. Kristen was looking into renting a private parking spot in Amsterdam and said she would probably pay between 175 and 300 Euros per month for parking. Car purchases in Holland are also subject to several expensive taxes. Owning a car is a luxury in Amsterdam. There’s actually a limited supply of bike parking in certain parts of the city too—but it is almost always free unless you park in a guarded lot.
The Central Station bike parking facility--called the "Bike Boat"--can hold over 7,000 bikes.
Sean and I leave Amsterdam tomorrow and will begin heading south to Brussels and then on to Paris to catch the last stage of the Tour on July 24th. We’re going out tonight in the Red Light District to top off our Amsterdam experience and hopefully won’t get a terribly late start tomorrow morning. We’ve been working on our route today and have also been looking for team jerseys to wear while we ride. Stay tuned for more updates from the road, shots of the team jersey, and perhaps a guest blog post from Sean.
Have a great ride to Paris! It will be interesting to hear if drivers there think Sean is a jackass on the road when he bikes. Apparently when his earphones broke here, he noticed that a lot more people were cursing at his biking than he ever realized. Is it the US drivers or Sean’s biking? keep us updated.
He’s already been yelled at by a police officer once.
For the record, he wasn’t yelling, just speaking sternly (mostly in Dutch). Moreover, two days riding in Amsterdam prompted just one civilian encounter, and I’m pretty sure I more or less had the right of way, more or less, in that one.
Those are my favorite pants too and I can’t believe Derek has them! How did he get them and does he know they’re actually girls’ ballet tights?
At least we have settled that it is his biking at the very least. Your in Europe now Sean. Show down, enjoy the scenery. You dont want to piss off the other bikers also.
Oh, he knows, Therese. I’m guessing he just likes the way they make his legs look.
love how team tim made the blog! yeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaw!! sean – don’t come back with road rash pleeeeease. miss you guys!

Hello, everybody! Cold here in S.C. today...how's the weather your way? Hope you're all doing okay.
Today's been making wise choices and working out with the treadmill and weights.
Gonna go read a little while...have a good night!
Cold here today too, only got to 55 degrees. But at least the sun was shining. And we've got snow on the mountains near here, real pretty. Going down in the 20's tonight. Have a good weekend.
Good evening, everyone! I'm late getting on here, but thought I'd say hello! It has been a gorgeous, sunny, cool to cold day here in South Carolina.
Right now, Hubby and I are watching Yogi Bear cartoons on t.v., sitting side by side in our lounge chairs, me with the laptop on my lap. The to-the-ceiling Christmas tree is lit up and revolving round and round. We had the fire in the fireplace going, but it got a little too warm, so we turned it down (gas).
Have you got all your Christmas shopping done yet? We don't!
Well, this is all for now...think I'll go read entries for a while. Have a good night and remember...Jesus loves ya and so do I!
Hello, everybody! Hope you're all doing well. It is COLLLLLDDDDDD!!! here in South Carolina today. 30's and 40's cold, with wind chills even lower. Also very cloudy.
Ho, Ho, Ho!!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Here's to both of us reaching our goals in time for the new year!!! Good luck!! And thanks for the comment!
Hello, everybody! Hope you're all doing well.
Okay, I finally put my weight in. I also admit to eating 1/2 of the 6 layer chocolate cake my friend baked and gave to us Thanksgiving. There, I said it. Also 1/2 of the pumpkin pie. I said that, too. It was good. And I have been working...lots of walking and working out and being mindful of calories now that we are into the Christmas season. I have to be...we are having our big annual church Christmas Banquet/Party next week on Friday and I must fit into my size 10 black dress pants, cause there's no others to wear! As I speak, I am cooking a giant pot of homemade chicken soup...Yes, soup...In the pot are chicken (of course), red vadalia and yellow onions, fresh baby carrots, green string beans, celery, salt, pepper, and diced tomatoes. It's looking like more of a chicken stew than a soup, however, but it'll do. I was tempted to bake homemade cornbread, but bread is currently being limited. Also, rice, but it is also being limited, being a starch.
Great poem! You're doing great, keep it up!
Hello, everybody! I hope you are all having a wonderful day in the Lord today!
Well, how did you do on your Thanksgiving Day eating???? I hope better than I did! I failed! Hehehe! Yum, yum!
My friend baked a 6 layer chocolate cake and gave it to us. Yes, I had some of it. It was delicious! I also had some pumpkin pie. Yum! I'm up 2 pounds from Thanksgiving eating, but I'm back on track again. I'm still in the low 150's and still working out, walking, weights, etc, a few times a week.
Guess what? I tried on a couple of pairs of my old, (but they don't look it) size 10 levi jeans this morning and THEY FIT!!! Comfortably! (Cause it doesn't count if you can't 'comfortably' wear them!) I was surprised about that. BUT....my 'new' yardsale black leather size 10 jeans do NOT fit...they are too tight to be comfortable in, though can zip and fasten them. So, they are 'out' for now.
I asked my Hubby to please carry the rest of the 6 layer chocolate cake with him to work this morning, so he did (only about a quarter of it was left after we had company Thanksgiving night). I didn't want to be tempted with it today because I KNEW I'd finish it!
I've done pretty well with calories today, but I DID allow a medium sized 280 calorie snicker bar earlier. I just now had sugar free jello with fat free cool whip. Lunch was a barbequed turkey sandwich, using diet wheat bread at only 40 cals per piece. Breakfast was a mug of coffee and a piece of diet bread with 1 oz. cheese. Snack was another mug of decaf.
Hubby just now got home from work and I took a little break from this to fix him something to eat and he didn't want to eat Thanksgiving leftovers, but I told him I did today, so he let me fix him a plate of them and he is having it for his supper now as I key this.
It is a COLD day here in South Carolina, around 47 degrees fahrenheit a couple of hours ago. It was 37 this morning, with wind chill 27...and it is WINDY! To us southeners, that is VERY COLD!!!! But the sun is shining.
Hubby and I put up the Christmas tree Thanksgiving night. I know it is early, but we felt like it, so we did. Lots of our neighbors have up their Christmas decorations, some even before Thanksgiving! Hehehe! I think the lights are so pretty!
Well, guess this is all for now...I'm going to read some entries. Have a good day and remember...Jesus loves ya and so do I!
Oh, my, chocolate cake! I know I wouldn't be able to resist that either AND I wouldn't have let anyone take it. The pies we had for Thanksgiving weren't that good so I only had a small piece of the cherry, my favorite. So it sounds like you're still doing well with the diet and exercise. Sorry it's so cold there, got up to 75 here today with beautiful sunshine. Take care.
Thanks for your comment, Maria. I have two pieces of pie and one of cheesecake in the freezer tempting me.We're neighbors in the 150's. I was in the l40's BRIEFLY for two days BEFORE Thanksgiving. I'm trying to get back with all these delicious leftovers and I'd like to lose four more pounds by Christmas. Maybe one more day and then I'll go back to my serious regimen.
It has been a rainy day here in S.C., with storms expected, but none so far.
I went grocery shopping today. I would put things in the buggy and then turn around a few aisles later and go put them back. I bought Hubby a large container of his favorite ice cream (strawberry/chocolate/vanilla) and also got his favorite most expensive coughdrops instead of cheaper brand (he puts one in his mouth when he goes to bed at night so he can breathe better....menthol)...we also have a vaporizer running at night...which helps put moisture into the air...anyway, I'd gotten him a jar of pickled sausages, but I thought this was too much stuff with fat (he will not eat fatfree ice cream) so I put the sausage back. I also put back a box of 8 snackpacks of chocolate cookies with the white filling in them that I'd gotten for me. I finally put back 2 cans of high sodium soups, too. Then before I got to the checkout counter, I took back the cake mix (chocolate) and icing (chocolate) which I was thinking I might bake for Thanksgiving, but as Hubby and I will probably eat out, I'd be the main one to eat the cake, so it went back onto the shelf. I did buy some english walnuts, though, and a few bananas. Celery was only 50 cents and goes real good with lite pimento cheese, so I got some celery. I also bought onions, fresh squash, and potatoes (because they were reasonably priced at 5 pounds for $1.50), and there were a few stations of free samples, so I tried some dried fruit and nuts and some tiny spicy things that were in cups, but didn't buy any. I got Hubby and me cubed steaks for our supper tonight. I plan to have baked squash with mine, but I know he will want french fried potatoes (but they will be baked). I've begun drinking more water and less diet sodas. So I only got one pack (12) of sodas compared to the usual 3 or 4 I would get.
I was just reading an Australian journal...they are in spring and we are in fall...isn't that amazing!
We are in the peak of fall color here in South Carolina! The trees look like natural Christmas trees! Beautiful!
I need to discipline myself to clean up this study! It's not that bad, just need to put a few things where they belong which is not on this table I use for a desk! And not by the door as you come into this room, either! Clutter! Don't even ask about the closets!
Good to hear from you, Maria! I'm glad you're doing well. It sounds like you did pretty well with your shopping today. I read several journals from people from Australia and New Zealand and it is amazing that we can communicate with people around the world. Hard to imagine they are having the opposite weather than we are. I hope things continue to go well for you. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations on your grocery shopping! You were really "thinking thin".
Walnuts and other nuts make good snacks.
One benefit to making my own soup is that I don't have the sodium problem. I've been training my taste buds to like unsalted food, and it's working!
Good job with your shopping!!! Cutting down on the soda is a great first step!! Have a great day today and stay strong!
Hello, everyone! I hope you are having a lovely day!
I seem to have lost my 'resolve' to get back even close to where I was, and I do not want to get down that low for my height again, as I was not feeling well at that weight. (132) I'm still in the low 150's, which is not bad and I feel well at this weight. I don't care about clothes size anymore. If you are a certain size in clothes and don't feel well at that size, why bother? Currently I'm wearing 10's and 12's and I'm tall 5'8", so I'm okay with this size. I'm sort of a slim-medium, I guess. How a person feels is more important than size anyway...and who can say what number on a scale or size is best for a person anyway? If you feel good, that's more important than a number!
Hubby and I got back this week from a few days at the beach, Myrtle Beach, S.C., that is, celebrating our wedding anniversary. We went to a place called 'Broadway at the Beach', one of the most beautiful places we've ever been. Lots and lots of shops and restaurants and bridges to walk over water here and there and sort of like a giant park with a lot of activity going on. Lots of people were out and about shopping there. Hubby and I fed pigeons and fish at 'feeding stations' where you get 25 cents worth of grain and looking below at the water from the bridge, large fish actually had their open mouths and eyes stuck up out of the water, looking up at you, hoping for some grain to be dropped down to them. But when you got the handful of grain, here were the pidgeons and they were almost tame, lighting right on our hands while eating the grain from our hands! I videod Hubby and he videod me.
It is a sunny, cool day here in South Carolina. I love this weather. Lots of leaves are falling, but not much of a color change here yet.
Hubby and I are still real busy in church, we both teach a Sunday School class (adult) together and really enjoy it and I'm still playing piano in church. We love our church and our 'church family'.
Well, guess this is all for now...I'm going to read here for a while now. Take care, all of you and remember, Jesus loves ya and I do, too!
It's so nice to see you here! Sounds like you are doing awsome! Glad you are smart enough to add weight if you aren't feeling well where you were! That is great and for your height it's a great weight to be at. Your doing so well! Keep up the good work!
Hey, Maria, glad to hear you're doing good. I agree with you, that a certain size doesn't mean anything if you don't feel good. I'm glad that you are at the weight that you feel good at. It's nice to know that it is possible. Can't wait until I get there! Have a good weekend.
Hello, all! I didn't realize it has been this long since last update. Hope you are all doing well. What has really surprised me tonight is our wonderful STELLASTAR is back!!!! YES! I know some of you 'oldie-goldies' on here have missed her as well as I! I've often thought of things she wrote since she left that made me feel happy. Her little scrapbook at the bottom of her entries...the red bandanna, etc. Anyway, she is BACK! And I see that Soonie is still here, hey, Soonie! But where are Pasta, Kyrin, Soccermom, and the one that moved to Kansas City...I see Breakaway is still here...Hey Breakaway!
Well, FALL has finally arrived here in S.C. Not a change of color yet, but a few leaves fall from time to time and we are in a 'cool-down' from the sweltering hot August weather....YES! Fall is my very favorite time of the year...and Hubby and I are getting ready to celebrate our upcoming anniversay next month with our yearly long weekend at the beach! YES!
Well, I am going to read some more entries...catch ya later!
Hello everyone, including Soonie and Kyrin! Now y'all know what island I'm on! Hehehe! I'm glad I'm at least back to this island before y'all asked which one I'm at. But I'm just visiting this one for a day or two.
How's everyone today? Are you getting ready for the 'fall weather'??? You know, autumn comes in next month...sweater weather...got your fall clothes ready for the cooler weather yet???
It is sunny and warm here in S.C. today. A gorgeous day. Birds singing, squirrels scampering about.
Above is one of my favorite Bible verses....are you saved? Do you know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour? Today is the day of salvation. If you're not saved, please ask him into your life today...he shed his blood in your place and in your place, he gave his life for you and me on the cross and rose from the dead and is alive forevermore and through him, we are, too, who believe on him and live for him according to God's Word, the Bible. He calls on all to confess their sins to him, repent, and live for him. Everlasting life is a long time...actually, it is time without end. Don't you want to be ready when he calls your name? Don't you want your name to be written in the book of life? I do!
I hope you are having a blessed day today. It is very cloudy here in South Carolina and looks like we may have a downpour of rain any minute. It is very warm outside, it is 88 degrees, with heat index 94 degrees fahrenheit.
I watched and filmed a squirrel pulling cotton out of the front porch swing this morning, I guess to make her nest with. I'd been sewing up places where they've been getting the stuffing out. The swing is in the open, with a built in canopy over it, also made of canvas, as the swing seat is.
I've been walking a lot lately. Walked about 3 hours the other day and about an hour yesterday and the day before. The tape measure is showing the difference, as well as the scale. I guess it is about time to put in my current weight, but I just don't feel motivated to. If I get any responses (whereas I haven't been) in the comments, I may do it...but I don't even know if anyone is reading this or not.
I used to be Maria7, but lost my password and had changed email addresses and was unable to retrieve it, though I tried. I don't see Pastagal on here, nor a lot of the others. Where did everyone go???...that were here 2 - 3 years ago???
I left the 'island' I was on....(make believe)...there were too many sweets there, though I sure did enjoy it there. I baked chocolate cakes there and would eat half of one in one day! I ate and didn't count calories! I didn't exercise much, either. But I got back into my rowboat and rowed back past lots of tempting islands of fattening foods and people taking leisurely naps along the beach in the loungechairs in between their grazing the sweets and I rowed back to an island...I'll tell you what the number is because these islands have numbers, not names, if you ask me...where treats are fruits and veggies are the main thing, with some meats cooked boiled, broiled, grilled, or baked,...along with other non-fattening foods.
I'm still here and still reading you when you show up. Keep coming back. I love hearing about your "islands".
Okay, it's not that important, but what Island are you on in case I want to send you a healthy care package? LOL ((HUGS)) It's good to see a few of the old group still here.
I hope all is going well for you, gal!

This will help determine if you ought to begin screening with colonoscopies at much younger age than commonly suggested.

easier to read (e.g., PublicId rather than publicid).
> a. Should we use consistent source/target attribute names?
various href's to "target"? I don't think so.
> b. If so, should we make them global attributes?
> to "extensibility" and they'll get confused.
easy to remember seems like a good trade-off to me.

Crafted in St. John’s, Newfoundland – within sight of the historic Signal Hill.
Blended (ed: diluted?) with the pristine waters of Newfoundland, Canada.
Adding water emphasizes the slight bitter note on the finish. But this is not an "off" vodka-esque note nor is it an acetone or spirity bitterness. It's akin to adding a dash of orange bitters to your whisky. I think this would make Signal Hill good in a Manhattan or even a whisky sour. I haven’t tried it with diet Ginger ale....yet. The whisky is fairly well-balanced and is good on its own as a digestif. Its biggest asset is the texture and flavour on the palate. I don’t know if the rich texture comes from the lack of chill-filtration or because it’s almost exclusively corn whisky. Maybe it’s both. I doubt this will change the way people perceive Canadian whisky. It’s well made, easy to drink, but I wouldn’t classify it as bold, spicy, or call it a radical departure from the familiar.
Thanks for the review, being honest is key despite the potential backlash.
I have to say I truly wonder what the aim of many of these new Canadian whisky "brands", the market is saturated with this kind of light, smooth Canadian whisky, they aren't bringing anything new to the table.
There is bearface that at least is doing some cask manipulation but even then they are all dealing in been there done that.
@cricklewood the Bearface was surprisingly tasty - I tried a sample at a store. That was enough for me though. It's smoooooooooooth.
@Nozinan, my point exactly, it's tasty but you wouldn't be swayed to pick up a bottle immediately after.
The worst part is whomever is buying bulk whisky could pay Livermore and his team or heck any other competent consultant to blend something unique or at least different enough from the masses.
I apologize I'm coming off as surly perhaps.
@cricklewood Not surly at all. I probably wouldn’t have tried this if it hadn’t been sent for free. I’m still quite hit and miss with Canadian whisky. Don Livermore’s creations seem to be the exception for me. Oh, and Crown Royal. I like a lot of their whiskies, but I’m not sure I love any of them.
@OdysseusUnbound I feel much the same, I enjoy some of the old school styles of Canadian whisky but it feels to me as there is a period of maladjustment in our industry in terms of pivoting and providing whiskys that reflect the taste of consumers and also reflect the diversity of what Canadian whiskys are capable of delivering. I am talking about Canadian style blended and rye whisky here not single malts.
If you look at how well bourbon/American rye sales are doing in Ontario and the rest of Canada, you'd get an inkling that people are into bold rich corn/rye based whiskys. Why then would you deliver them anemic 40.2%abv (notice those funny abvs of late) smooth as a baby's bottom whisky over and over again.
Crown has quality products but they often fall shy of the greatness they can delivery and have one heck of a batch variance.
@cricklewood Spot on. I liked the Blender’s Select, but it felt underpowered at 45%. If it had been bottled at Cask Strength, I feel like it could have been something very special.
@OdysseusUnbound Whisky served up at cask strength is almost always better and bolder than watered down.
The only one I would probably dread trying at cask strength?......Lambertus.
@OdysseusUnbound, the Blender's Select at a higher proof is magnificent, a completely different experience.
@paddockjudge is blenders select basically Hand selected barrels at 45% ABV?
@cricklewood, I believe it is "the same" juice as CRHSB, offered in a batch at 90 proof, whereas CRHSB is a single barrel at 103 proof.
Signal Hill is interesting. As you said quite thick and heavy, with a rum-like sweetness. Nice review.

Ascanio Condivi was a young pupil and assistant of Michelangelo's who gained the trust and confidence of the great artist. His biography of Michelangelo to a large extent is based on the artist's own words, tells the story of his life, his relationship with his patrons, his objectives as an artist, and his accomplishments, forming the basis of a biography that has been central to the study of Michelangelo for four centuries. The significance of Condivi's text was recognized early on. Within fifteen years of its publication in 1553, Vasari incorporated much of it to correct and revise his biography of Michelangelo in the second edition of his Lives of the Artists. But, although Vasari knew Michelangelo well, the sculptor never confided in him to the extent that he did in Condivi, making this the indispensable source for the life of Michelangelo.

To make the final move of “ElizaLin” from The Hinckley Company to my backyard, (Using a hydraulic trailer.), the Bilge Plates had to removed from the exterior of the hull. Because I had already planned on doing this, (The “shoes” that support the attachment of the Bilge Plates to the hull need to be replaced.), I decided to tackle this job the “quick and dirty” way.
Below are two images that show the Bilge Plates. Their location conflict with the “lifting arms” of the hydraulic trailer that will be used to move the sailboat into my backyard.
I made the decision to cut the heads off of the bolts that are used to fasten the Bilge Plates to the hull, and just let the plates fall to the ground. I used one of my Makita grinders that had a “cut-off” wheel mounted to it, and another Makita grinder that had a grinding wheel mounted to it, (To remove remaining burrs from the cutting process.).
There were 10 bolts per Bilge Plate. Five on the inside and five on the outside of each plate.
When I had the heads of the bolts cut off of the port Bilge Plate, I loosened the jackstands on the starboard side of the hull and tightened up the two jackstands on the port side of the hull. Doing this, lifted the port Bilge Plate off of the blocking it was resting on.
I set up more blocking underneath the Bilge Plate.
Then, using the blunt end of a maul, I pounded on the bottom flange of the Bilge Plate.
The Bilge Plate began to yield to the blows with the maul.
I repeated the process on the starboard Bilge Plate.
This one took only 30 minutes to get it off of the hull!
Then, I used a forklift to load the Bilge Plates into a trailer to haul them back to my house.
Unloading the trailer back at home.

Re: SSNJEFFY TOTAL MINER VIDEOS!!
As long as he eventually posts them here on this topic I don't see why he can't have a form of freedom of speech.
Here is a video to help out new players with some tips, I know a lot of you know these already, but it can help some..
New Video Coming Soon. Something I don't understand?
Were the dates always there or is that new?
I am confused on what just happened but ok.
Tip hold your phone like this when recording.
I didn't want to show that gamer-tag used for those maps.
I should just have a 3rd You-tube account for total miner.
The reason I give that tip is because people dont like watching YouTube videos that are up and down like that. Probably a golden rule by now.
Correct, i refuse to watch a verticle video.
Re: Jauhny's/Jeff's Total Miner Videos.
Why must you hide your gamer tags?

THREE cooperatives did not receive flowers and chocolates this heart month but a capacity building for their enterprise development.
Aboitiz Foundation implemented its annual capacity-building program to its partner organizations on the last day of January until the first day of February in Baguio City. The activity aims to strengthen and hone the management and leadership skills of its assisted partner cooperatives.
Three co-ops in Benguet attended the seminar on Cooperative Management and Governance.
Mr. Geronimo Torres, lead facilitator and senior project officer, said that their foundation is a corporate foundation of the Aboitiz Group that was established in 1988. It continues to pursue its mission of helping people help themselves through the implementation of corporate social responsibility interventions particularly in the places where the company operates.
“Our activities are centered on enterprise development and other areas like environment, education, health and disaster risk reduction and management,” he added.
Ms. Janet Lee, a co-op specialist and an accredited training provider, shared not only the best practices of cooperatives in Benguet but also the actual observations that make a cooperative fail. She stressed the importance of having core values that are defined by the general assembly for common understanding. Lee highlighted that the values will be used as indicators in the performance assessment tool of the cooperative.
In Cordillera, the partner co-ops of the foundation are Lamut Multipurpose Cooperative, Barangay Alapang Multipurpose Cooperative, both operating in La Trinidad and Thanksgiving Multipurpose Cooperative registered in Tuba, Benguet. Another women organization is also being assisted in the strawberry capital.
The objective of the enterprise development program is to improve community livelihood and employment opportunities of which the foundation is also giving microfinance to their partners. Aboitiz Foundation grants various asset donations if the partner group performs well on a given period.
The participants, especially Balmuco Manager Felina Mercoles and TMPC manager Emma Golocan, emphasized that the project is very instrumental in the sustainability of their coop’s business.
The local government unit of La Trinidad and Aboitiz Foundation are looking forward to a possible Memorandum of Agreement aimed at supporting more local entrepreneurs to be successful in their chosen line of business through a public-private partnership.
There will be consultation on the PUV Modernization Program of the country on February 15, 2019 (8 a.m.-12nn) at the 3rd Flr. La Trinidad Public Market, KM5 Pico. All La Trinidad co-ops and associations with transport service are invited to send their representative to attend.
The activity aims to inform the concern sector specifically on LTFRB Memorandum Circular No. 2017-033: Consolidation Of CPCs Of Multiple Taxi Service Franchise Holders In Consonance With The Policy On Industry Consolidation Pursuant To Department Order No. 2017-011 (Re: Omnibus Guidelines On The Planning And Identification Of Public Road Transportation Services And Franchise Issuance).

The last and final day of the I'm Hearing Voice's Character Blogfest. Thanks so much Cassie and Angie for hosting! It's been fun.
Today, we're supposed to display an emotion in 250 words or less. Tough challenge, so here goes! It's a very important moment for Lina - her first foray in the Sleeping World.
She opened her eyes and was greeted by pain. Her vision went white because of it, a startling and unsettling change from her normal sightless blackness. It was too much, Lina collapsed backwards onto something soft. (Since when had she been standing? When had she collapsed onto anything softer than a wooden floor?) She closed her eyes, willing the pain to go away, but the whiteness followed her and if she wasn't already blind she surely would be now.
Lina gritted her teeth and opened her eyes for the second time. The whiteness was less harsh now, dimmer. And there were fuzzy black lines criss-crossing in the sky. Lines?
While blind, she had some sensitivity to light. She could tell when it was day and when it was night, her sight varying from a velvet black to a charcoal gray. But she had never seen shapes before, never seen two colors at once. Could she...could she see now? Was this what others saw, blurry shapes and dull hues and it was just lots of practice that allowed them to not walk into things or each other?
The lines above her head blurred and she panicked, she didn't want to lose this! Lina closed her eyes to rub at them and felt tears on her lashes. She paused, and slowly opened her eyes. There was a larger black blur, with thick lines radiating upwards from a round bottom. Hoping, but not expecting, she wiggled her fingers.
She was looking at her hand, for the first time ever, and couldn't move it out of her line of vision to wipe at the tears that flowed down her cheeks.
I want to thank all the wonderful people who've stopped by for coming over, and if you're looking for a writing accountability partner, the Are You Writing Now? group starts at the end of the month.
How touching is this. To be able to see for the first time. Very well portrayed. Loved it!
oh Lina. This was awesome!
That was so amazing. You were truly able to capture that. I loved it.
I so glad it didn't sound contrite or something similar. It really put my imagination to the test!
That was a very moving and emotional moment. Great job!
Lovely, emotional scene! Beautifully written, well done!
Goodness, you've made me blush.
The hope and expectation in this piece are tangible! Just beautiful :) Great job!
^_^ I'm super happy you liked it.
Wow, that would be so amazing after a lifetime of blindness. I think this was a perfect scene to pick for this!
Glad you like the scene! There were so many emotional ones dealing with the Sleeping World, but I figured it be best to start with the first one.
This was incredibly poignant, fantastic job.
A great emotional piece Gwen.
Beautiful. Your descriptions made this!
I love the original theme to this piece and the weaving in of her emotion.
