New research from the University of Washington indicates that the setting of children for sweets have a biological explanation. Apparently, the desire for sugar is related to the accelerated growth rate of this phase of life.
"The relationship between sweet and growth makes sense. When growth is fast, the body's caloric demand increases. Children are biologically compelled to like sweets because they fill a nutritional need, which causes them to seek energy sources, " explains one of Study author, Danielle Reed.
Explained: This is the delicious law of attraction!

Today, if you feel like I do, that we are surrounded, except when when we are together, by individuals that have no use or interest in Jesus Christ. Recently, I was asked by a very close relative, why I believed in such stuff? We were interrupted before I had a chance to respond. But the question, has caused me to deeply reflect on possible answers. Today, in our Gospel reading, we had the opportunity to hear about the transfiguration of Jesus Christ. Our gospel acclamation states the purpose of the transfiguration quite clearly: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased, listen to him.” So, we listen to Him. Listening, implies a deep and mature relationship with Jesus…and a love between us that motivates us to be like HIM. My answer to my loved one, would obviously include Jesus Christ, my guide, my companion, and friend. Who are they listening too?
This seems like a very difficult task for many of our peers. Recently, I was listening to a popular podcast, where an educated young woman had become disillusioned with her faith. She proudly stated that she was deconstructing her faith. Eventually, she chose a career as a spiritual director, where she gladly supports others in the process of deconstructing. She strongly avoids the name of Jesus Christ in her own spiritual journey and practice in helping others. She stated quite simply that too many people have been harmed by others under the banner of HIS name. It made me wonder who she is listening too now?
This reminds me of a similar situation in scripture: found in John chapter 6. Where Jesus is preaching about the Bread from Heaven-the Eucharist. He is equating that the bread is his body. “So Jesus said to them Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.” (53) ) “After this saying many of his disciples drew back and no longer walked with him.” Who were they going to listening too now? I thought!
Jesus then responds with a heart wrenching question to his twelve disciples: will you also go away? Peters' response is beautiful stated “Lord to whom shall we go, you have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.” Because we are sitting and kneeling in our beloved church...we have a similar response…like Peter, James and John at the transfiguration event…we have the attitude that…it is very good to be here. This is where we listen to Him.
What are the benefits of listening to Jesus? Anastasius of Sinai, in his homily on the feast of the transfiguration in the 7th century states what we receive, beautifully:
“Therefore, since each of us possesses God in his heart and is being transformed into his divine image, we also should cry out with joy: It is good for us to be here—here where all things shine with divine radiance, where there is joy and gladness and exultation; where there is nothing in our hearts but peace, serenity and stillness, where God is seen. For here, in our hearts, Christ takes up his abode together with the Father, saying as he enters: Today salvation has come to this house. With Christ, our hearts receive all the wealth of his eternal blessings, and there where they are stored up for us in him, we see reflected as in a mirror both the first fruits and the whole of the world to come.” (End quote)
Peter, James and John had the awe-inspiring encounter with the transfigured Jesus, and it strengthened their faith for the purpose of sharing “the light” with the world. They had to come down from the mountain and face the complexity of a messy world. They did!
To change is painful. To be a Christian, a follower of Christ means that we have a deep bond with HIM. All relationships that are worthwhile, require us to adjust our lives accordingly. The purpose of our church…is to help form us into being a light for the world. Our transformation takes a lifetime, and this transformation requires us to listen to our conscience… for this is how we are guided in every moment and decision we make. When we receive the light of the world in the Eucharist, we are challenged to take this light, as it is reflected in our acts of kindness, into a dark and divided world.
Now let us prepare to meet Him in the Eucharist! Are we listening for HIS quiet voice within our hearts?
Okay, I have some explaining to do.
Recently I came across an article in a photo magazine in which a photographer explained his amazing 'digital-art' work. He creates an unreal world based on existing elements. For example, a street is transformed into an imaginative scene.
It could come straight out of a movie; creating an amazing mood.
Of course he starts to work from a world in color, that's how normal cameras work. By reducing color saturation significantly and adding the recognizable colors from a nighttime movie scene: blue and green.
By adding fog and adjust the contrast he creates his own world; this has nothing to do with reality. Exactly like in the movies!
This inspired me to get started with a photo I made in 2013 in an alley in Lower Manhattan: Cortlandt Alley, on the borders of Chinatown, Tribeca and SoHo. This is, especially in the evening, a totally deserted alley. They film here regularly for commercials.
Almost nothing you see is real; steam, buildings, colors. But it fits exactly in the picture I have in my head when I take a movie scene in mind.
Of course, the buildings you see really exist, but not in the way they are presented here.
Because I have a b&w camera, I had to add color. And by doing some research how a movie street scene should look like, I came to this result.
I must say that I am very satisfied!

Bet this doesn’t make much sense- right?
So the saga - we are three people needing the use of one car. The owner of said car (me) is short and getting shorter every year. The other principal driver is short-ish but not that short. The other thing you need to know is that my beloved Honda Fit is older, is a stick shift and I adore it
So when the other principal driver uses said vehicle, she adjusts the seat and mirrors to work for her. She does try to return things back but sometimes she’s *way* off - the seat back so far I can’t reach the clutch without a stretching exercise that would please my physical therapist’s heart. And sometimes the seat is so far forward that you’d have to be a munchkin or a five year old to even get into the car.
In an effort to be helpful and solution-based, I took a trusty silver Sharpie marker out and marked where I thought the optimal seating position might be for me. Although it’s not perfect, it seems to be about right. Of course I plumb forgot to tell the other principal driver that I’d created this helpful mark, but I finally did think to send her a text showing it yesterday.
So does anybody know of a reliable good used not too old Toyota Corolla for sale that’s been well-maintained, is an automatic, has got low-ish mileage and has been carefully driven by, say, a little old lady only to church/temple/mosque on Sundays/Saturdays or bingo or shopping? We’re in the market!!

Yesterday I joined a Mikkyo zen mediation class at the Lower House at Hakone Gardens in Saratoga, California. That house has a beautiful stone garden, perfect for meditation. The priest explained some Buddhist concepts before the meditation.
I took this shot with a 56 year old Canon 50mm f/0.95 vintage lens I just got from Japan - notice the bokeh of the leaves in the back from the f/0.95 capture. I processed a balanced and a soft HDR photo from a RAW exposure, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted the curves and color balance. HDR processing enhances the micro-contrast, which counteracts a bit the soft look of the "dream lens".

Underground passage at Fort Wetherill in Jamestown, Rhode Island. I've seen the clips on the ceiling at other old coastal defense forts ... without a tour guide to explain things, I would guess they were part of system to get shells and powder from the ammo bunker to the guns.
At the public audience with Sebastian Kurz, the Chancellor of Austria, in the Bundeskanzleramt on today's national holiday. Fortunately this wasn't a political speech - he just explained the history of the room, where he had expected us, the so-called Kreisky-Zimmer.

The other day I went to the dentist. I saw this Sparrow (Song, I believe) in the bushes as I went in. After I got my teeth cleaned I took a few shots of this cute, curious guy!
Thanks for looking, etc.:)

As I explained yesterday, I hadn’t intended doing any photography, but on my way home from Runcorn the sky was changing rapidly. I changed my plan and drove to the Catalyst Centre car park near Switch Island, then I walked, rapidly, down to the riverbank at the foot of the Silver Jubilee Bridge. All the time I feared that I would be too late. It’s true that I missed some of the best of that sunset and, as I arrived, another photographer was just packing away his gear.
I set-up my tripod and attached my camera. I wasn’t sure as I did this that my 23mm f/2 lens would be wide enough to feature the full width of the bridge, but I was pleasantly surprised. I tried a number of angles, noticing as I moved, that the lighting of the bridge kept changing. I tried a couple of shots to include the Moon and the church spire, high above the far, Runcorn, bank of the Mersey, but because these were 8-seconds or so shots, the movement of the Moon fattened the image in camera.
Afternoon 'tea' at the Salling warehouse.

There are many kinds of photographic gadgets to help you in your picture taking. I just use these because they're in my photography budget ;-) and because I'm most comfortable with them.
Anypose Expression Hud is FREE - I use it to control eye direction. marketplace.secondlife.com/p/AnyPose-Expression/2613652
Animare is a tool that allows you to pose your avatar using a HUD controller. I use it to refine poses on the fly. I prefer to use external programs to make actual poses but this gadget is great for fine tuning them to fit better or even give poses you already have, some subtle differences and finishes.

Oracul make some great static poses that come in a modifiable HUD that rezzes poseballs as well as animates your avatar. <- Modifiable means that you can add other animations to this hud too and are not just limited to Oracul Animations.

Hope that helps!
Let me explain the symbology behind this picture:
I know that right now it seems that the whole USA is focusing mainly on the 2008 elections, but I care more about the political situations around the world, particularly Venezuela, since that's where my mom is from and that's where some of my family lives.
Ever since Chavez was elected president, I feel like the whole Venezuelan government/political situation is broken, or ruined like this mug. Sure, you can still use the mug, but it's broken..
I was raised to be seriously Anti-Chavista (against Chavez, Venezuela's president, and his whole administration,) and I know he's always been a horrible president (well, really more like dictator) but I was really shocked when I heard he was assisting FARC. I know FARC is a funny name, but there's nothing funny about them. FARC is a Colombian extremist group who kidnapped hundreds random people and held them hostage for years (most of them still haven't escaped). On top of that, they kidnap children from the Venezuela/Colombia border and turn them into child soldiers. This has been an ongoing problem in both Venezuela and Colombia for years, and Chavez has publicly spoken about how we need to stop them, and supposedly taken some action about it. but it turns out that he was SUPPLYING THEM WITH WEAPONS.
how could ANYONE be supportive of a group that makes children into CHILD SOLDIERS!? how could a LEADER OF A COUNTRY even do that!? and the worst part is, that he LIED to the whole world about it, and he's not even getting impeached or anything! How is it that Bill Clinton gets impeached for having an affair, but Chavez doesn't get impeached for supplying FARC with all the supplies they need to do what Chavez is trying to stop them from doing!?
But of course, Chavez is a known liar, because he promised during his presidential campaign in 1998 that he would change his name if there were still homeless children on the street by the time he was done with his term, and he hasn't done ANYTHING about it, and he's been in power for almost 10 years! (and, by the way, the length of a presidential term in Venezuela is 4 or 5 years (I can't quite remember), but of course, he changed the constitution so that he could be in power for even longer!)
the whole situation pisses me off to no end.
and that is why I took this picture.
