Vessel Overview/ Description

The Bristol 48.8 offers some improvements over the 47.7 by way of a more modern saloon configuration and better storage aft. PATRIOT has been used seasonally in the Northeast and hauled each winter. She offers all of the notable options such as air conditioning, electric winches and electric Stoway. The interior fit and finish represents an upgrade over the Bristol standard with some raised panels, fitted locker doors and a fully removable cabin sole.

PATRIOT offers the popular “guests forward, owners aft” arrangement plan.  Owner’s quarters are expansive and comfortable with centerline berth, ensuite head and shower stall, opening ports, large overhead deck hatch and abundant storage via 3 drawers and 11 lockers.  The cedar lined hanging locker measures 40” wide.

The passageway forward includes machinery access on the inboard side and a forward facing nav station on the outboard side.

The main saloon is unique by virtue of the circular settee / dinette and matching curved settee to starboard (a defining feature of the 48.8 as opposed to the 47.7).  The galley, immediately to starboard at the companionway, is appropriately configured for cooking at sea with all components surrounding the cook, (see GALLEY).  The customized teak table extends to the opposing settee to provide comfortable seating for six adults.  Media components are concealed behind attractive louvered doors.

The forward stateroom includes a Vee-berth with cabinets above, hanging lockers and drawers.  The overhead deck hatch and opening ports allow generous light and ventilation.  The ensuite head is finished in white tile, with integral shower. Headroom is nearly 7 feet.

Force Ten LPG stove: 3 burners, grille/broiler and oven, two 10 lb. LPG bottles stored aft w/ solenoid switch
Sea Frost three-plate, holdover refrigeration system with both engine drive and 110V compressors, with deep-freeze to port and refrigeration compartment in galley w/ top loading and side doors, both freezer and fridge stainless lined.

PATRIOT has been in the Northeast and used seasonally for virtually her entire life and machinery hours and condition reflect that.  The “softening” of the interior configuration as compared to the 47.7 is a significant improvement, while providing larger lazarette storage aft. Condition is above average.  We encourage prospective 45.5 and 47.7 buyers to visit the other offerings, then inspect PATRIOT.

Homes & Institutions

The types of professionals employed by homes and institutions depend on the types of physical and behavioral health care services that the facility offers. Some of positions, however, are common at most institutions, regardless of whether they focus on assisted living services for the elderly or mental health services for children.

Nursing professionals are common at many homes and institutions. Those that work in a retirement community often have experience working with geriatric patients. Nursing professionals can also complete programs of study that prepare them to work at rehab centers, recovery programs and nursing homes. By focusing on certain areas of medical study, the nurses can provide the most comprehensive care to their elderly and disabled patients.

Assisted living and group homes might also need a housekeeping staff to keep he facilities clean. Some of the senior housing facilities have common areas. Some of them, however, focus on providing seniors with their own apartments. The type of cleaning that the housekeeping staff provides, typically depends on the specific organization.

Mental health and addiction recovery centers often hire counselors who can help clients work through their issues. These professionals often have backgrounds in psychology or social work. This prepares them to help clients find effective coping methods for negative feelings. These professionals might also create social events for the institution to make sure that residents do not feel isolated during their stay.

Of course, these facilities also need managers to oversee the operation. The managers make sure that employees meet their goals and that the institution functions without exceeding its budget.

Homes and institutions for mental health patients or those that cater more toward the retired or young adults and children with behavior problems can be found by searching the Internet or your local phone book. Call the center and ask to make an appointment to get a tour of the facility and to ask any questions you may have about the social activities they offer and what rules they enforce on residence. Communities for those that are retired will be less restrictive than those that have been made for those addicted to drugs or alcohol. If you have a loved one that needs to go to rehab for a safe recovery from their addiction you will want to look at the center's credentials and what type of reviews it has received from other families. Whether you're looking for a place to have an elderly family member stay or need to find a mental health facility for children you will want to ask about staff training. Ask how they enforce their rules and what type of punishments they have for not following rules. Some homes will have a medical staff on site which can give a person a diagnosis with the proper medication without them having to leave the location of the institution. You will find group homes for the disabled that can be a great social outlet for both the young and the old. Study different organizations to see who offers the best programs and make sure they have new features that have been updated to stay with modern times. All groups want to help its members, yet some will be more prepared than others to do so.

    Massage therapy can be a wonderful occupation to perform, especially if you enjoy helping people relax and improve their overall health. In order to become a therapist, you must take classes to be trained properly and take the time that's necessary to become fully certified, though this can vary from state to state.

    Out of the 50 states, 37 have massage licensing laws that require minimum physical contact hours before you can work at a parlor or spa. These minimums can range from 330 to 1,000 hours and can take up to two years to complete. You can go above and beyond the regular school requirements to learn specialized muscle techniques such as Thai, other Asian techniques, Swedish and pregnancy services by either taking classes from a master or going to a school that teaches these techniques. Most schools teach standard methods like foot, back, and full body massage while you may have to search for a school that teaches deep tissue therapeutic techniques.

    Once properly licensed, you can decide to either open your own parlor, join an already working spa, or try to get into sports therapy. If you decide to open your own place, you must learn the basics of business management and buy your own equipment such as tables, oil, and stones. Running your own business can be a pain, but you'll be able to choose your own hours and clients to help with stress relief. Advertising should be aimed towards strengthening well being and physical techniques in order to get the right foot traffic.

Choosing A College – What Should Matter The Most?

Choosing A College – What Should Matter The Most?

Higher education is very important since it is what molds you into the person you wish to be. The training you get in college can determine how easy it is for you to pursue a career of your choice. It is just as important to choose the right college to get training from as it is to choose a course that is in line with your career aspirations. With so many higher education institutions, you must take the most important aspects into consideration during the selection to ensure you get the best for your training.

1. School accreditation – It is perhaps the most important in assuring you that will get quality training and have a valid certificate at the end. It can be a waste of time and resources when you enroll in a school that is not registered and accredited by the right body depending on the course you are undertaking.

2. School size and class size – The size of the school can determine the number of students it can accommodate and thus the number of students every class has. The secret is to find a school whose student-teacher ratio is reasonable enough to ensure you get value with your training. Very large classes in terms of student numbers might not be very good at offering the valuable training you are looking for.

3. Learning tools – Hands-on learning is the best training style for any given course. This means teaching that comes hand-in-hand with practical lessons to help you put into use what you have learnt in class. A good school will not only provide the right reading materials, but will also offer real field experience and opportunities as you continue learning. It all prepares you for what awaits you after graduating.

4. Lifelong career services – Getting the right training for your selected course is one thing and it is quite another to secure a job. When looking for a good school, consider job placement possibilities. Some of the best schools work hand-in-hand with employers in the relevant industries to secure internships and jobs for their graduates. A school offering such services can be most helpful in making sure that you have a job as soon as you get out of school.

5. Class flexibility – This is important since you might have other commitments and still have the need to get trained. Class schedules in your preferred school should work in line with the needs you have. Some of the schools offer morning classes, evening classes and online classes to make it possible for you to fit your schedule perfectly. Choose flexible schedules to make sure you have everything running right and at the same time get a quality education without any problems.

6. Certificate and degree programs – They will determine what level you can attain from your school. Put your preferences into consideration to choose the right school with the programs you are after for your career path.

Whether you are looking for digital media arts training or human services training always choose a school that has everything that is important to get you valuable and quality kind of training.

Mascot Bracket Round 2: Sebastian the Ibis versus Bucky Badger


text:
One of the biggest players in electronic dance music was also a major contestant in last year’s most well-known road rally. Known as the Gumball 3000, car lovers and celebrities alike come together and race around the world for kicks. Last year, fans of the rally witnessed a sky blue Ferrari 458 Spider with the Nyan Cat painted on the side with Joel Zimmerman behind the wheel. Better known by his stage name Deadmau5, Joel raced around with Tory Belleci of the popular television show MythBusters from Miami to Ibiza.

Today, a video surfaced capturing the highs and the lows of the international journey. It also features plenty of music from Joel’s latest album while (1<2) as Joel is caught at some of the world’s most popular race tracks and even Baywatch star David Hasselhoff. Although the Purrari lived majestically on the roads of the globe, at least it will continue to live on through the video below.

Obituary: Delores A. "Dorrie" (Sidener) Sheehan, 82

Mar 27, 2015 01:17PM ● Published by Kieran Gilman

God gave the world a unique gift when Delores Anne Sidener was born on April 15, 1932 to Marie (Kelly) Sidener ( a City of Chicago budget manager) and James Samuel Sidener ( a Chicago Police Officer).

Delores "Dorrie" developed her strong Catholic faith at her mother's knee and at St. Adrian's school. She was baptized at St. Adrian's, and received the Sacraments of Penance, Holy Communion, and Confirmation there. In her teens she lived in California, where, blessed with a beautiful Coloratura Soprano voice, she sang professionally with the Greek Theater. Her goal was to sing with The Metropolitan Opera. Before that could happen, however, she was discovered by a Hollywood talent scout, and was signed by Columbia Studios.

She attended Hollywood Professional School while playing the female lead in two Western Movies "Pecos River" with Jock Mahoney and John Penn; and "Barbed Wire", with Gene Autry and Smiley Burnett, and a comedy, "Sound Off" opposite Mickey Rooney.

During the Korean War, she entertained our troops and worked in bond drives to support the war effort. Later, she returned to Chicago, where she became one of that city's top-ten fashion and photographers' models.

At West Point in 1954, she met Cadet Donald Sheehan. For four years he courted her during his Christmas and summer leaves, and during Air Force pilot training after graduation.

Dorrie returned to West Point for Don's graduation in 1956, sharing with him and his family the many events of June Week and pinning his Second Lieutenant bar on his shoulder on graduation day. Don gave her a star on December 23, 1957, and they were married at St. Adrian's on 31 May 1958.

They were separated by Don's assignment to Korea seventy-seven days after their wedding, but Dorrie joined him a year later for duty in Japan. There they enjoyed a two year second honeymoon, absorbed Japanese culture, and brought their first two daughters, Maria Anastasia and Maria Gabrielle into the world.

She became Don's inspiration as he studied for a master's degree in English at the University of Illinois (1962-63). There she gave birth to Maria Christina. With masters' degree in hand, Dorrie and Don and their three babies drove to Colorado for service in the English Department faculty at the Air Force Academy. Dorrie personified the virtues and attributes of Air Force wife and mother. She gave birth to Maria Mia in 1964, to Michael in 1965, and Matthew John in 1966.

In 1967, Dorrie lived in the Philippine Islands, while Don flew tactical airlift missions during the Vietnam War. At the end of that assignment, they returned to the Air Force Academy English Department, and Adam Francis was born in 1970.

In 1973, the nine Sheehan's moved to Alaska, where Don flew C-130 aircraft. Dorrie moved her family to Tewksbury for Don's service as Commander of Air Force ROTC Detachment 345 at UMASS - Lowell.

For 38 years Dorrie and Don Lived in Tewksbury, where their children grew in grace and wisdom, completing their college degrees, marrying, and raising eightteen grandchildren and four great grandchildren. .

Throughout their 55 years of marriage, Dorrie exemplified the finest virtues of a Catholic lady, wife, mother, and grandmother. The needs of her family always came first, before any personal considerations. She led by example, guiding her children in developing Catholic values. Dorrie helped her children develop self confidence and respect for others. She was the architect of her family's prayer life and the matriarch of Sidener/Sheehan family traditions. Her children and grandchildren emulated her virtues as well as the values of patriotism, integrity, honesty, and humility.

Her many talents and skills included gourmet cooking, acrylic/water color painting, and unmatched devotion to God and her family. In her recovery from three near-fatal automobile accidents and a stroke, she displayed courage and discipline beyond the call of duty. In extended therapy to regain her mobility, she demonstrated quiet and powerful leadership.

Dorrie brought indescribable joy to Don, her family, and friends all the days of her life.

On Wednesday, March 25, 2015, the Loving God Who gave her life, called her home to join Don, her Mom, Dad, sisters Mary Sidener and Suzanne Kennedy, and brother Sonny Sidener.

Mother of Stacy Decker of Lowell, Gigi Hovanec and her husband George of Dracut, Chris Vecchi and her husband Dennis of Andover, Mia Primeaux and her husband Christopher of Lake Charles, LA, Michael A. Sheehan and his wife Doreen of Derry, NH, Matthew J. Sheehan and his wife Lisa of Chelmsford and Adam F. Sheehan of Derry, NH.

She also leaves 18 grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren, many nieces and nephews.

Calling hours will be Friday, March 27, from 7-9 p.m., at St. Robert Bellarmine Church, 198 Haggetts Pond Rd., Andover. Her Funeral Mass will be celebrated Saturday, March 28, at 11 a.m. at St. Robert Bellarmine Church. Interment will follow at St. Mary Cemetery, Tewksbury. In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to the Wounded Warrior Project,, P.O. Box 78517, Topeka, KS 66675.

Having plants in the home is a great idea. Plants help everyone in the home breathe cleaner air. Furthermore they evoke a sense of serenity and tranquility in a home while cleaning the air of pollutants. Plants use a process called photosynthesis that takes in carbon dioxide and other harmful pollutants as noted by researchers at NASA and give off oxygen. Additionally this NASA study discovered specific types of plants remove 87 percent of all indoor air pollutants within a 24 hour period. These pollutants are emitted from building material, home furnishings and office equipment.

Introduction to Future Frontiers

Future Frontiers is a charity which trains up undergraduates to become careers coaches for pupils in high school and sixth form. The coaches run an 8 week programme for an hour a week with the pupils and guide them towards having a clear career goal in mind. Midway through all of this the children speak to professional experts, via Skype, and ask them questions about the career they are considering. The programme has caused a great increase in academic progress for the majority of participants.

At the end of the programme the pupils and coaches produce what we call an ‘academic plan’ which outlines what the pupil has to do academically to reach their dream job in the future. At the moment this is all done in paper and the bulk of the information is lost over time. Herein lies my first task: creating a digital version of the academic plan to aid manageability and so we can store the data over time.

Task 1: Academic Plan

Now this is where I could probably include a bunch of technical jargon. I’ll try not to do that, partially because anyone familiar with the inner workings would soon start to wonder why anyone trusted me with anything technical in the first place. This is what I am trying to recreate:

My first idea was to create the academic plan as a web page which could then be downloaded as a PDF once the necessary information had been filled in. This is what I spent my week working on, researching existing software I could use to export the page as PDF and anything else which would make my task as easy as possible.

I found an online piece of code which was actually really handy for what I wanted to do called Cloud Formatter. It was all going quite well and according to plan, until we discovered Adobe Acrobat Pro. Basically, it’s a piece of software which is going to make my job easier by allowing me to easily create fillable PDF forms and store them. It meant my existing work was redundant, but this is probably for the best seeing as I was stuck figuring out why my web page was starting to look pretty good, yet my PDF… was not.

So at least that’s one headache I have managed to avoid.

A Wells Fargo financial professional recently helped to save a client from losing money in a scam targeting senior citizens. The 78-year old client thought that he won an overseas lottery. Instead, he became a victim of financial elder abuse via a typical lottery scam. The Wells Fargo professional prevented money from being sent offshore, however money from another bank was sent out. San Francisco financial elder abuse attorneys warn senior citizens that lottery scams are abundant. California elder abuse attorneys warn the public not to fall for lottery scams.

In this case, the senior citizen victim was contacted by unknown individuals claiming to be from the Costa Rican lottery. They told the senior citizen that he had won the lottery and that he could collect a $5 million payout. Then they told the senior citizen victim that there were some formalities and that they would need some personal information to verify his identity. Additionally, they told him that he needed to send money to pay off various taxes and fees associated with the money he had won. The senior citizen victim then went to one of his banks and transferred $88,000 to an offshore account. California financial elder abuse attorneys warn seniors not to transfer money overseas. San Francisco financial elder abuse attorneys say that sending money to offshore accounts is a very risky proposition.

Next, the senior citizen victim went to his Wells Fargo Bank and attempted to set up another transfer of $50,000 to an offshore account. This time the senior citizen got lucky. The Wells Fargo financial professional knew immediately that something was wrong and refused to go forward with the transfer. Since the senior citizen client was convinced that he was one transfer away from getting $5 million, there was an unpleasant exchange between the financial professional and the senior citizen. At that point, the financial advisor contacted the family of the senior and they helped convince him that it was a scam. The financial advisor helped prevent further financial elder abuse by refusing to transfer the money. San Francisco financial elder abuse attorneys say that financial professionals can play a role in the battle against financial elder abuse.

Evans Law Firm, Inc. handles elder abuse, financial elder abuse, physical elder abuse, annuity fraud, consumer fraud class actions, insurance and banking fraud cases. If you think that you have witnessed or are the victim of elder abuse, or financial fraud then contact Evans Law Firm, Inc. at 415-441-8669 for a free and confidential consultation, or email us at

This is what a Jewish state can be for

Various folks have been kvetching recently about the growing incompatibility of nice American Jews and perhaps less-nice Israeli voters. Kvetching is a time-honored Jewish pastime, and you wouldn't want to deprive anyone of its pleasures.

Earlier today I participated, mostly as an observer, in a discussion about policy and the implementation of it in an (Israeli) government agency. Those present were disagreeing about technology, change, adaptation of the bureaucracy and the bureaucrats to new conditions, rate of change, hierarchies and decision making, consultation with stakeholders and participants... the works. Organizational consultants make a fine living from this sort of stuff.

Except that at one point the top bureaucrat present branched off into a discussion of Biblical exegesis. When Moses headed off into the desert, did he ask the Israelites if they liked the idea? One of the people disagreeing with him about the present day issue also disagreed about his interpretation of Exodus, but he shot down her interpretation, then someone else suggested a different reading.

After four or five minutes they all trooped back to the 21st century and the desirability  of using machine intelligence in the processing of large bodes of data.

There are many reasons why the Jews need a state, but this, to my mind, is one of the top ones. That Hebrew-speaking secular officials use their cultural heritage as it should be used: as part of everyday life.

Tarek Abu Hamed appointed to a senior position

Tarek Abu Hamed was appointed today to the position of Deputy Chief Scientist in the Ministry of Science. This is big news. Not gigantic, not an historic event to be recorded in the annals of the Levant, but significant nonetheless. In order to understand why, I need to tell a bit about Israel's Civil Service.

The Civil Service is a formidable place. Over the years it has acquired layers of complexity far beyond what non-civil servants recognize, making it much harder than necessary to get things done. Cabinet ministers, for example, usually have only very little long-lasting influence. They're not in the system long enough to figure it out, and even when they're experienced operators the system is geared to slow them down and limit their ability to do things. (There are some exceptions). The folks who have real power are the ones who are high in the system, but not so high they'll be moved within a year or three. The ones who are high enough to be in regular contact with many others of their general rank, as well as with the really top figures when they have the need.

The job Dr. Abu Hamed has just landed, therefore, is potentially a powerful behind-the-scenes mover, in a corner of the bureaucracy which itself has real significance: the allocation of funds and apportioning of government support in developing scientific and technological programs. Not anything to be sniffy about.

Dr. Abu Hamed is Arab, as his name indicates, but that's not the surprising part. There are higher ranking Arab civil servants, including some in positions which require high security clearance. The thing about Dr. Abu Hamed is that he's not an Israeli citizen. He's a Palestinian of East Jerusalem, a permanent resident by legal status, but not a citizen. Yet look what job he has just won.

Noteworthy. I certainly wish him the best.

The convoluted process of electing an Israeli government

Being a civil servant I'm not allowed publicly to express political opinions. But I don't see why that should stop me from explaining how the political process happens. So, just a few hours before voting begins, here goes:

All citizens from the age of 18 can vote. Each citizen has one vote, which is cast for a party list. Not for an individual. There's no mandatory process to construct the list. It used to be that each party appointed a team of power-brokers who met in a smoke-filled room, and a list emerged from the room. In the 1980s some parties began experimenting with ways to appear more receptive to public opinion or at least to aspire to some sort of transparency, and they replaced the Vaada hamesaderet, the organizing committee, with elections in a large central committee, or eventually even with a primary election by all card-carrying party members. Nowadays some parties have primary elections (Likud and Labor, Meretz and Beit Yehudi), others have rabbis who choose for them (the various ultra-orthodox parties), lots of backroom deals (the Arab list, I think), or simply powerful leaders who decide between their two ears (Lapid, Liberman, Kahlon, Livni).

The lists are submitted to the Central Election Committee a month or six weeks before the elections, and then locked until the next election. If at any point from then on someone drops out for whatever reason - boredom, say, or death - they're replaced by the top candidate from the list who is not yet in the Knesset. This means there are no by-elections or special appointments to the Knesset. In the past there have been cases of MKs who resigned days before the elections and were thus replaced for those remaining days; in this election Uri Orbach passed away a few days after the lists were submitted, and everyone below him (he was 5th in Bayit Yehudi) moved up one notch.

This system means MKs are responsible to various constituents or political strongmen, but not directly to voters in a national election.

There are 120 seats in the Knesset. Until not long ago the threshold for entering the Knesset was 1% of the votes, which means not much more than the 1/120th required in any case. In recent elections the threshold has been rising (well, the Knesset keeps passing laws to raise it, it doesn't happen of its own accord), and this time it stands at 3.25%, which means a list must have enough votes to garner four seats, or else it doesn't enter the Knesset and all its votes are regarded as disqualified. The first result of this change is that the three Arab lists, none of which were certain they'd pass the threshold on their own, created a joint list which may end up the third largest party.

The actual act of voting is done by inserting a small rectangular piece of paper into a blank envelope. There are no hanging chads in Israeli elections. The funny thing about these ballots is that each of them bears a letter or combinatoin of letters which are not the name of their party. This goes back to the early years of the state, when large numbers of new immigrants couldn't be counted on to be able to read the names of parties in Hebrew. This was resolved by allocating a letter to each party. By an astonishing coincidence the top political party of the day, Ben Gurion's Mapai, ended up with the letter A (aleph). The National religious party got B (bet), the ultra-orthdox got C (gimel) and so on. There have since been about 1,456 permutations of parties, and today the only party which still has its original latter is the Gimel party, which has however changed its name from Agudat Yisrael to Yahadut Hatorah (more than once, I think). The distant descendant of Mapai, which in this election calls itself the Zionist Camp, somehow acquired the letters aleph-mem-tav back in the 1960s; since these letters spell the word Emet, Truth, the party changes its name just about each electoral cycle but always holds on to its letters. A matter of superstition, perhaps.

The polls are open from 7am to 10pm, tho in cases where people arrived before 10pm the voting sometimes goes on for another bit. At 10pm sharp the various TV stations publish their exit polls, based on something like 25 voting stations of thousands. These exit polls are rarely precise, and tend to differ from each other by one or three seats, and also from what will eventually be the official results. This makes for fine and nail-biting drama for many hours into the night, but doesn't effect the real results.

The bulk of the ballots are counted by early next morning. There are still no final results, however, since the soldiers of the IDF, many tens of thousands of them, have voted on their bases in what are called double envelopes, because they're double. Each anonymous vote goes into a blank envelope. Each envelope then goes into a second envelope on which the soldier writes his or her full name and ID number. These envelopes are all sent to the Knesset, where large teams of folks check each name against the names of people who voted in the polling stations. Having identified the voter and ascertained they didn't vote twice the outer envelopes are discarded and the real envelopes then sent to a different table where they're counted. This takes a few days, so the final results are unknown. Even then there can be last-moment changes, since there are elaborate mechanisms to divide the final portions of MK seats which are left hanging - say, between a party with 5.6 seats and another one with 38.4. The larger party will probably get the entire seat, but not always. Don't ask.

When results are close it can happen that the outcome of the election remains hanging for almost a week after polling day. Which isn't as bad as it sounds, since in any case elections are merely a milestone along the road to creating a new government, not a final outcome.

Once the official results are in, and then another few days pass for the central election committee to prepare a letter to the president containing the information everyone already knows, the next stage of the process can begin.

In theory, the president chooses an MK - any one of the 120 new MKs - and tasks him or her (should I say "it"?) with creating a government which will receive 61 votes of support from the 120-member Knesset. If only it were remotely so simple!

No party has ever won 61 seats, so every Israeli government ever has been a coalition. (And this will most likely remain so for the next few centuries, opinionated and argumentative Jews being opinionated and argumentative Jews). The thing is, it used to be a mildly predictictable coalition of three parties, say, or four. These days it's rather more challenging. I'll write about the present alignments in a follow-up post; here I'm simply describing the mechanism.

The president invites each party in the Knesset to send him a delegation which will recommend whom he should task with building a coalition. Often the outcome of these deliberations is clear in advance, when there's a large party and a reasonably plausible set of parties to build a coalition from. Sometimes this isn't the case. Two elections ago Zipi Livni "won" the elections with 28 seats, but Netanyahu, having "lost" with 27 seats, set up a coalition and ruled because he had more potential partners, and they recommended him to President Peres.

This time all polls suggest this stage will be nightmarish. Which means the results of the elections may prove to be no more than general guidelines, or vague recommendations; the real result will be hammered out much later.

Once the president (his name has recently changed from Peres to Rivlin) tasks someone with building a coalition, that someone has about 5 weeks to get the job done. This ensures that it won't happen in less than five weeks: what politician would agree to finalize such fun negotiations before the end of the allotted time?

Having convinced at least 61 MKs to support him, the fellow goes to the Knesset, presents his new cabinet and is voted in, thereby becoming Prime Minister. All the while until then the previous one is still on the job. There was one case in the late 1980s when Shimon Peres (he who was later president) found out he lacked 61 votes only at the very last minute, when he was already in the Knesset building. Zipi Livni in 2009 was tasked with creating a coalition but failed. So it ain't finished till it's finished.

I think that more or less covers it all, except for the intricacies and crucial minutiae. In the next post I'll try and talk about who's running this time and who they'll never join in forming a coalition. All the while without indicating where my own preferences might lie, which I'm not allowed to tell.

Pot of gold at the end of the rainbow

Look, I know everyone is all worked up about the Netanyahu speech in Congress, scheduled for a couple of hours from now. But as I've said, what with being a senior civil servant and all I'm not allowed to talk about live political matters, so I'm not going to say anything about that today.

Instead, here's a picture I took recently of a rainbow over Jerusalem.
As we all know, at the end of every rainbow sits a pot of gold. Care to have a second look as to where that might be?
I understand the perspective is a wee bit unusual, but I assure you that tallish building at the end of the rainbow is... the Holyland tower.

I report. You figure out the significance.

What with Facebook, blogs, twitter, text messages... it's so hard to keep up with them all!

This week Gabe started to roll over from back to front, which is harder for them I guess. It's so exciting to watch him grow and do new things. We had to spend a night in the hospital a few weeks ago because he had the flu and got pretty dehydrated. Guess how much less than 24 hours in the hospital cost? $5500. No joke. Thank goodness for my insurance that will help us cover most of that! That kid goes to the doctor more times than he sees his grandma! I should as them for one of those frequent customer cards, maybe we can get a 10th visit free.

Some baby terminology for those who don't have children yet:

1. Blowout, n. - When a poppy diaper extends up the back/legs of the onezie. "Your son has poop leaking all over, I think he had a blowout." (true story- the daycare lady at the gym said this exact sentence to me)

2. SuperNova, n. - When the baby burps and farts at the same time. "Hahaha, Baboon just had a super nova, I could feel it from both ends!"

3. 2 second warning, n. - The face Gabe makes when vomiting is believed to be imminent. "OH CRAP EFRAIN BRING A TOW- UUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH."

4. To Have a "BF", v. - Having a "Boy Fit". Uncosolable crying, may be paired with any of the above. "Sorry, can I call you back? Gabezilla is having a BF."

5. 239874326834709234348, number - Times Gabriel would like to be extended into the air with a wooshing sound, or number of silly faces Gabriel would like you to make for him.

Hope you are all doing well!

6 Months!

He's just about as happy as I am. Today is our 6 month anniversary! I could not ask for a more selfless giving, patient person than Efrain. I am so excited every time I look at him to know that the rest of my life I'll have his companionship. He always gets up at around 5 am to get the baby ready for me to take to daycare when I leave for work, then goes to his own job for around 12 hours, we go to the gym together and then home to either a tv dinner or some strange looking food that I attempt to cook. He makes time during all this to water and cut the lawn or do some other helpful things around the house and to play with the baby. Hee can always make me laugh and never forgets to tell me I'm beautiful. Yesterday he spent the last of his paycheck to buy me flowers and a card. People always say being a mom is an unending and thankless job but I think Efrain does twice as much as I do. He is my absolute HERO!!
This past year has been so exciting for us and things keep getting better. We have our interview with immigration this week and he also has a job interview with the church. Baboon gets more and more aware everyday and has taken our hearts with his smiles. Hope everyone is doing as well as we are!

My 5 Favorite Boys

This Sunday my wonderful husband gave our little Baboon a name and a blessing, it was so special. This pic is afterwards in our backyard. That's my dad, my grandpa, Efrain and Baboon, and my father in law, Ramon. He had his first smile that day. Efrain can usually get him to do it but with me he just looks at me all confused. But it's so fun to lay him on the bed in the mornings and watch Efrain make him smile before he heads off to work. I think Baboon is coming down with something though, poor little guy.

In other news Efrain is going to start looking for a new job. He'd still like to join the air force, but until then he wants to look for something that has benefits so I can maybe stay home. uuuuuuugh. I don't want to go back to work. I just want to stay home and take care of my little precious one and be there for my hubby when he gets home. Someday.

I'm going to see the temple with some friends today. This will be the third time. I can't get enough of it, it might be the closest I get to being sealed to Baboon, but we'll see. It sure is nice just to sit in there with him.

My little guy is over a month old now! Every time I turn around he gets bigger. I know people always say they grow up so fast, but geeeez! He already doesn't do some of the things he did before...balling up the fists by his head all the time, smacking his lips when he is finish eating... I just want to document this all for him and for me before it is lost forever!

this is pretty much the only way he'll stay asleep during the day. I don't mind too much :D

miss you grandma

This one is evidence of his goalkeeper/preacher move- when he's asleep he'll all of the sudden raise his hands up for a second like he is catching a goal in a soccer game or a preacher saying "hallelujah!" He also makes the most adorable lamb noise in his sleep that cracks us up.

aaaand 5 minutes later. Crying, but still cute.

His head is getting bigger, when we brought him home his little head kept flopping all over in uncomfortable looking positions, now it usually does ok.

We're going to bless him the first sunday in July!
We also nicknamed him "baboon" because of a rather large birthmark called a mongolian spot (they're purple). I'll let you guess where it is. This is going to be a GREAT story to tell his girlfriends later.

Baby News

Yay for being full term!

The Doc says I'm 2cm dialated, progressing nicely. My blood pressure has been creeping up the past 2 months though, so we are going to have a planned induction someime around the 18th or so. Next week is lots of doctors visits to try to determine what exactly is best, but that's the verdict for now. I'm slightly relieved that I won't be overdue, sitting around with a huge planet of a belly and swollen beyond recognition. And I'm also excited to hold my little guy in my arms insead of my abdomen. I had an ultrasound today and he is HUGE compared to the 1/2 way mark ultrasound we did. He's all crammed up in there, poor thing.

In other news, I have the best husband ever. He really makes my life a joy. This past week I have been under the weather and he has done everything humanly possible to make me feel better. It was more comfortable to sleep upright in a chair in our living room for a night or two and he slept on the floor next to me just to be close to me. awwww. He even missed ward ball to be with me, and is so understanding of my short commings in general, but especially when I don't feel my best.

I had a ward baby shower yesterday and saw lots of friends, they are sooo nice. I got a cool baby carying thingie that I have been wanting, as well as lots of diapers and clothes. This kid is going to be really spoiled, he's the first grandbaby on both sides and having a mom like this, he can't help but be adorable! haha

This is one of my recently found favorite songs- Bryan Adams songs just make you feel all gooey inside.

My Tour de Fleece Update

I did not say much this year about Tour de Fleece, but I did join the fun. I had with my new wheel and all!! My goal was to try to make a 3 ply fingerweight. I was not sure how thin I could actually spin on Chloe (My Majacraft Wheel). So I set that as my goal. I had 5 oz of 3 colors ways: one olive green , one sage green, and one silver with some light blues (mixed). I thought these plyed together would make a nice marled sock yarn.

I completed the 3 singles and got them plyed last Sunday. Just got it done under the wire. I really liked how it looked on the spool, but when I wound it off, I could see that it was underspun. I gave it a soak and that just made matters worse!!

I let it dry wrapped around my drying rack to stretch it. I probably could have lived with it being underspun, since it actually came out as a lace weight (about 20 WPI) and there was almost 600 yards. I decided this would make a nice smaller shawl instead of socks. But i really wanted a balanced yarn.

So I wound it into a ball after it was dry and ran it through my wheel again!! Yes I just wanted this yarn to be as close to perfect as possible. I re-wound it off today and it is drying now. It seems to be perfectly balanced. Yeah!!

So I feel very accomplished at being able to spin a 3 ply lace weight. Now my next spinning goal is to get it a little fatter. I still want some handspun sock weight.

Spectacle Island, Boston Harbor

Saturday, July 5, 2014, I went on a boat cruise to Spectacle Island in Boston Harbor.

Here is my Trip:

 View of Boston from the Island

 Dave, Diane and Carol on one of the many trails

 The lower trail along the shoreline

 A canoe that got washed up on the rocks during the recent storm

 Dave and the Boston Skyline!

 Lots of artifacts can be found on Spectacle Island, since it was once a dumping ground.
The public are asked to leave it on the Island for others to enjoy viewing.

 A very weathered shell...yes I took this one home.

 Spectacle Island is really a beautiful park that the city of Boston has created.
I urge you to take the ferry out of Boston and visit.

And there is lots of docking for private boats.

Jackie Pelosi
E-RYT 200 (500 hr in progress), Reiki Master Teacher, Animal Communicator

Jackie Pelosi

My first Yoga teacher training was in 2005 with Amba and Don Stapleton, Ph.D in Costa Rica at the renowned Nosara Yoga Institute. It was a transformational experience and deepened my understanding of Hatha Yoga, Self-Inquiry, and the power of Sacred Land, Ocean, and Nature. The Yoga I teach today is rooted in tradition and shaped by the techniques, insights, and teachings I have learned in my practice of Reiki and Earth Energy Medicine over the past 17 years. The Land, Animals, Plants, Stones, Waters and Spirit are my greatest teachers and inspiration.

I offer a strong physical practice with opportunities for exploration and softening. Throughout the practice, focus is directed on the continuous, rhythmic breath as a direct invitation to presence and the gateway to inner stillness. The breath not only sustains the practice, it is the vehicle of universal spirit, or prana, and it brings about the transformation of yoga. This transformation is the ultimate shift from striving to being, from thinking to deeply listening.Cultivating the skill of deep listening develops a clear, grounded, connection to your most powerful guides...your Self and Spirit. When you have unshakeable trust in yourself, the choices you make in your life will support the dreams and longings of your inner world, of your heart.

My classes are a blend of ebb and flow: breath, mindful movement and dynamic stillness, intermingled with joy and lightness, inspiration and introspection, sweat and Spirit. It is my intention to guide my students beyond technique and into the experience of deep listening. Through deep listening we know our Self, our limitlessness and our goodness.
