My photo meets the goals of the assignment because there are trees in front of and behind the trains that frame the trains. A strength of my photo is that the photo is both composition and framing because the trains are on the horizontal rule of thirds lines and because the trees framing the trains, and the subject is symmetrically balanced. Another strength is that I removed all distracting elements front the background with the green paper. A weakness of my photo is that the photo looked too dark when I took the photo and the ledge is not solid green, and the lines created from the paper overlapping. The process for taking this photo was getting these two trains and attaching some boxcars to them putting them on some tracks and setting it up to remove distractions.

I have a weakness for tong but lup, even thought I'm not a fan of coconut. There's something so satisfying about the crumbs of shrededd coconut, finely chopped peanuts and sugar that coats pieces of diced warm and chewy glutinous rice dough. I love how that sandy sweet texture is such a great juxtaposition against the sticky, bland bubblegum like mochi. Contrasts in flavours, textures and colours are important to me. Tong but lup scores high on this scale. Too bad this one was served on the cold side. Oh well, it was still delicious.

I have a weakness for funky handmade things and house shapes... when they're painted red, I'm really in trouble. So when I saw this hand-built red-painted dollhouse in a flea market, I figured I had to have it. But where to put it? Fortunately, I found a place on top of the shelving that holds shipping supplies at the store. I'll do more to this (wallpaper it with scrapbook paper, maybe?) but wanted to at least take a "Before" picture.

7 years. 7 long, arduous years I’d spent working meticulously to hide my true nature, what I really was, from those around me. And just like that, in a moment of weakness, I let my emotions get the best of me and threw it all away. It was bound to happen at some point I suppose. I’d spent so long trying to cut myself off from the Force, letting the reminders of the teachings I had worked my whole life to master just slip away over time. But in a galaxy under the Empire, a mistake like the one I made means certain death. That’s why I’ve decided to make this holojournal. I’m going to try to detail my thoughts and the explain what has and will happen to me, for whoever may care one day.
I suppose I ought to start from the beginning, give a bit of background on myself. Jericho Chaser. That’s my name. Or it has been for the last 7 years. Before that I was Jerrus Ch’Noa: valiant Knight of the Jedi Order. Heh. I had spent my whole life, 25 years, dedicated to the Order. It was all I knew, all I was. And then that day... that day my whole world collapsed around me. I lost everything... everyone... I even lost a part of myself, in a way. After that, I tried to survive. I traveled from planet to planet, port to port, trying to get by and stay low.
Eventually I settled on the small Outer Rim planet of Nixio. So insignificant it doesn’t even show up on some star charts. The perfect place to lie low. But I came to learn the people of Nixio had a secret. Many of them were part of a group that called themselves The People’s Freedom Coalition. They allowed freedom fighting cells across the galaxy to use Nixio as a stop to stash and run supplies and weapons as they moved throughout the galaxy. It was a perfect plan, and it worked without a hitch for several years. I joined up and helped where I could, using my tool repair shop I had opened to help fix snd repurpose old weapons for the freedom fighters. The leader of our coalition was an old Separatist who had served in the Clone Wars. Everyone simply called him The Colonel, and no one dared to challenge his word. I had my apprehensions about him at first due to his background, but he was no Count Dooku or Viceroy Gunray. He simply wanted a free galaxy, and at this point we had a common enemy in the Empire.
We continued on helping freedom fighters lie low and gather supplies from our small outpost planet, when on one fateful day, a small transport pulled into our city carrying a team of insurgents who had just narrowly escaped an Imperial research base. They had managed to steal schematics to top secret Imperial weaponry that was in the early stages of development, and had come to us looking for a place to lie low. However, it wasn’t more than a few short hours when an Imperial Star Destroyer roared out of hyperspace over Nixio. Almost immediately, TIE bombers screamed down to the surface and dropped a deadly barrage on our city. After the initial bombing, the Empire began to deploy its ground troops. All of the members of the People’s Freedom Coalition scrambled to gather our weapons and set up barricades in the streets. The Colonel barked orders at us as we dashed around in preparation. We had drilled for this dozens of times, but most members of the coalition were simple artisans and shopkeepers with no real military or combat experience. We were all nervous, and most of us seemed to know that this was a somewhat futile fight.
I was outside of a small bar alongside the Colonel when the right began. “Jericho, I need you to stay close to me during the fight,” he had said. “Things will get ugly and I know you’ll have my back.” I swore I would protect him at all costs.
Not long after we heard gunshots ring out. Imperial stormtroopers were pushing on us throughout the city. Our fellow fighters shouted out orders and information about where the enemy was on the comms, however it wasn’t enough. Pretty soon, we saw stormtroopers charging ahead at us. As they sprinted up the stairs towards our barricades, the troopers began to fire their blasters at us. We ducked behind our barricades and tried to return fire, but the Imperials were just too much. The Colonel began shouting for more reinforcements when a stormtrooper with a rotary cannon opened fire. I made a move to return fire myself, when suddenly I saw the Colonel get hit with a barrage of blaster bolts. He fell to the ground with a thud, just as more of my fellow freedom fighters began to be cut down as well.
“NOOOOOOOOOOO!” I shouted.
I felt my blaster fall out of my hand, and when I opened my eyes again, the stormtrooper with the rotary cannon had flown backwards down the stairs, knocking over his fellow troopers. A wave of dread washed over me as what I had just done dawned upon me. All of my work to hide, to bury my connection to the Force and blend in, and I had just thrown it all away in one emotional burst of anger. What had I done? I knew I needed to flee. As much as I wanted to help my fellow fighters, I felt in that moment an overwhelming sense that I needed to protect myself over anyone else. Looking back now, I was weak. I should’ve stayed and fought, tried to help until I couldn’t anymore. That’s what a Jedi would do, what a Jedi ought to do. But I’m not a Jedi anymore am I? I haven’t been a Jedi for 7 years. And that’s why I’m hiding in the forest outside of the city now, trying to figure out what to do next.
The Imperials have captured the city now. No doubt if they haven’t done so already, they’ll execute every last one of the people I’ve come to call my friends. Should I run? I could sneak back to the city and maybe steal I ship. I’ve always been a decent pilot. All I would need to do is beat a few TIE’s and maneuver out of range of the Star Destroyer’s cannons. It’s certainly doable. Heck, I did it before. Not like this, but eerily similar. I ran when the most important person in my life needed me, all those years ago...

Wow! That was a long one. But writing has always been my favorite part of MOC building, haha! It’s been over a year since I built a MOC but I finally found the motivation for something. Hope you like it!
Just because something is over does not mean that we can't look back on a time fondly. It's not a weakness to finish something and not hate a person.
Strength is not moving on and forgetting about and resenting a person. Strength is coming to terms with an end knowing that the world keeps turning whether we like it or not.
That's what makes us who we are.
Everyone you've ever loved and lost in any capacity has shaped you in one way or another.
We grow from pain and heartache and everything else that is thrown at us in life.
I love these photos that in my eyes are so raw with feelings of the greatest time in my 23 years of life. Why wouldn't I share them when to me, they contain such beauty?
As I've grown in my photography I've come to learn that I live and love through the photographs that I take. It's both a blessing and a curse. My only regret is that I didn't share these particular photos earlier when maybe they mattered more.
These photos were made in March 2015 between my home in Blackburn, Manchester and Bangor, Wales.
It was a whirlwind few days. Stressful. And without her, I'm not sure I could have done it.
And I don't say that lightly as I'm used to being alone and having to cope by myself.
I wanted to shoot this natural beauty on black and white film with my old Olympus OM10. The idea being that I wanted to have some tangible, physical memories. Not just something floating around in the digital ether as is most always the case these days.
When you shoot on film you don't just take as many photos as you can and hope at least one of them looks good. You put your faith in every click of those 26 shots that whatever it is that you're looking at is in focus and that the shutter speed is set right and you've got the right aperture for the ISO of the film.
You think about every. Last. Shot.
Every one counts.
When it came to developing the film it was her birthday and I was shaking. One wrong move and the photos would be gone, lost forever.
I thought I'd almost messed up after I accidentally exposed the film whilst pouring out the stop-bath. Thankfully not.
Digital is a godsend in this world of ever-greater immediacy.
However, there's nothing quite like shooting film.

"But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me." 2 Corinthians 12:9
A few weeks ago I was in a position where I was anxious and had two choices: fret, stress and be totally anxious or pray about my anxiety and the situation I was in. The situation - I was leaving the craft store when my Jeep all of a sudden lost power. Loss of power also meant loss of steering. Thankfully I was still in the parking lot and managed to pull over and restart the Jeep. Hearing the engine start up was music to my ears but then I started to wonder why this happened and if it would happen again. I was instantly freaked out because I wasn't close to home and every route home meant that I had to drive through traffic. I immediately called my husband and told him what happened he told me to start driving it home and if it stops again he'll come get me.
WHAT? You expect me to drive this thing home IN traffic with the possibility of it DYING again and not being able to steer it?
I knew it had to be done because if it was running it was pointless to make him come get me. Here is where I would have driven home but gripping the steering wheel tightly because I'd be a ball of anxiety. But for some reason I started to pray. If you had been in the Jeep with me you would have thought I was crazy because I seriously repeated, "Don't let the Jeep die! But if it does help me to deal with it!" I prayed this prayer out loud half way home until I suddenly felt an overwhelming calmness come over me. Instead of being a basket case all the way home I turned to the Lord and asked Him to get me home. Being able to do this has taken years of practice because this habit of worry has been practiced so much that it has been embedded into my nature.
I know I sound like a broken record when it comes to this thing called worry but for some reason God continues to speak to me about it as He grows me out of the worry habit. True to His ways He led me to another devotional about not worrying. Lets be honest here. Worry is not healthy and I get it. I understand that God is not the author of worry. I understand that worrying is not rational. I understand that it doesn't change a single thing but make me stressed and anxious.
So why do I continue to worry?
To those of you who have a habit of worrying I know you understand where I'm coming from. It is hard to be around people who don't worry because they don't understand. We get questioned, "Worrying doesn't change anything so why do it?" or worse "If your faith was strong enough you wouldn't worry." OUCH!
Why do us worry warts continue to worry?
I don't have an answer to that but I do know that we can continue to be proactive in casting our anxious thoughts at His feet. Each time we do we will feel a little bit stronger and it'll become a little more easier to turn to Him first before we allow our anxious thoughts to take root and multiply.
Trust me . . . they multiply like fluffy dandelion seeds that your kids love to pick and blow all over your lawn to spread and make more dandelions. :-)
Within this devotional about not worrying I came across something new. Something that I know about but something that I didn't associate with worry. This time I learned that God's grace is sufficient. If His grace is sufficient for me that means that no matter how deeply entrenched I am in the habit of worry He will always be there with me.
If you are not a worrier you may not understand why some of us are. It may not be your battle for which I thank the Lord that it isn't. But do understand that even though worry isn't right us worry warts know it. Instead of giving us quick fix answers like an easy solution will cure us why not pray with us and for us?
If you are a worrier you know how hard it is to break this habit. Sometimes you find victory and other times defeat. And when you are defeated you feel guilty that you can't just stop worrying. I am here to tell you to stop beating yourself up over falling victim to your anxious thoughts. This is a habit you worked hard at establishing and will take time defeating. But it can be done through God's help. I believe all He is asking you to do is start making baby steps towards defeating this habit. Build into this worry habit the habit of turning to God as soon as you think those anxious thoughts. Always remember that God's grace is sufficient for you even when you are in the midst of worry.
Krista Jones - 7.16.14
Taken from Stillness of the Morning Blog
In an attempt to eliminate his son's "weakness", Heihachi tossed Kazuya down a deep ravine, claiming that if he were truly his son, he'd be able to survive the fall and climb back up. Kazuya survived, but only because he made a deal with the Devil. To further motivate Kazuya, Heihachi adopted Chinese orphan Lee and raised him as a rival to his true son. After Kazuya had traveled abroad and became an undefeated champion, Heihachi announced the King of Iron Fist Tournament in order to test him. Kazuya won the tournament, tossed Heihachi off the same cliff and assumed control of the Zaibatsu. Heihachi survived the event, and returned in the second tournament to defeat his son, and tossed Kazuya's body into a volcano to kill him. Later, he created a military force called the Tekken Force, and fifteen years after the end of the second tournament, in Central Mexico ruins they discovered Ogre, a creature with bloodlust for strong fighters. Seeking to create the ultimate lifeform from the creature, Heihachi took in his grandson Jin Kazama, trained him, and four years later announced the third Iron Fist tournament as bait. Ogre arrived and was defeated by Jin, only for Heihachi to in turn betray and attempt to kill him. Jin survived, transformed into a demon, attacked Heihachi and flew away.
Afterwards, Heihachi attempted to combine his own DNA with that of Ogre, but discovered that he would need the Devil Gene as a catalyst, held by both his son and Jin. Unable to find Jin, Heihachi learned Kazuya had been resurrected by G Corporation, a rival company. To lure both to him, he held the fourth King of Iron Fist Tournament with his very company's ownership as the grand prize. After the Tekken Force captured Jin upon arrival, Heihachi faced Kazuya in the finals. Heihachi defeated Kazuya,[3] and led him to his Hon-Maru compound, where Jin was being held captive so they could fight. However Jin was able to defeat both, assumed his demon form and almost killed Heihachi. Stopped by a vision of his mother, Jin instead left, telling Heihachi he owed his life to her, flying through the compound's roof.
Immediately after Jin's departure, an army of Jack-4s built and sent by G Corporation invaded Hon-Maru. Heihachi fought together against them with Kazuya, but Kazuya betrayed and threw his father to the Jack-4s, using the diversion to escape. The Jack-4s piled onto Heihachi and one self-destructed, destroying Hon-Maru and seemingly killing Heihachi. However the blast had instead thrown him for several miles where he remained unconscious for the duration of the fifth tournament. Upon waking up, he made his way back to the Zaibatsu headquarters only for troops to block his path and to learn Jin had taken over the company. As a result he enters the sixth tournament in order to recover control of his company.
My strength and weakness.
A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. ~ Washington Irving

I have a weakness for the beauty of the old advertisements that were painted on the side of buildings so long ago. Even if today the buildings have survived the bulldozers, the signs are often painted over. If the buildings are restored, they are often 'cleansed' away. Enjoy the image and go out and document the ones in your neighbourhood and destinations.
One basic weakness in a conservation system based wholly on economic motives is that most members of the land community have no economic value. Wildflowers and songbird are examples. Of the 22,000 higher plants and animals native to Wisconsin, it is doubtful whether more than 5 per cent can be sold, fed, eaten, or otherwise put to economic use Yet these creatures are members of the biotic community, and if (as I believe) its stability depends on its integrity they are entitled to continuance.
When one of these non-economic categories is threatened and if we happen to love it, we invent subterfuges to give it economic importance. At the beginning of the century song birds were supposed to be disappearing. Ornithologists jumped to the rescue with some distinctly shaky evidence the effect that insects would eat us up if birds failed to control them. The evidence had to be economic in order to b valid.
It is painful to read these circumlocutions today. We have no land ethic yet, but we have at least drawn nearer the point of admitting that birds should continue as a matter of biotic right, regardless of the presence or absence of economic advantage to us.
A parallel situation exists in respect of predatory mammals, raptorial birds, and fish-eating birds. Time was when biologists somewhat overworked the evidence that these creatures preserve the health of game by killing weaklings or that they control rodents for the farmer, or that they prey only on 'worthless' species. Here again, the evidence had to be economic in order to be valid. It is only in recent years that we hear the more honest argument that predators are members of the community, and that no special interest has the right to exterminate them for the sake of a benefit, real or fancied, to itself. Unfortunately this enlightened view still in the talk stage. In the field the extermination o predators goes merrily on: witness the impending erasure of the timber wolf by fiat of Congress, the Conservation Bureaus, and many state legislatures.

Diverticulosis is a condition where outpocketings of the colon occur at points of weakness in the colonic wall due to penetrance of blood vessels. Bleeding may occur with or without diverticulitis (inflammation of a diverticulum). Colonoscopy is useful to locate the precise site of bleeding.
The Place to Be
Myles Mattila
Author and humanitarian, Jean Vanier who served in the Royal Canadian Navy said, “Every child, every person needs to know that they are a source of joy; every child, every person, needs to be celebrated. Only when all of our weaknesses are accepted as part of our humanity can our negative, broken self-images be transformed.”
My name is Myles Mattila and I will be graduating in June, transformed. My time spent at Prince George Secondary School has been one I’ll never forget.
I write with mixed emotions. I feel excited about my future, which means you prepared me well. But nostalgic about what I’ll be leaving behind, which means I have enjoyed my time here.
My experiences here have been diverse and welcoming in nature. And, although I didn’t start at PGSS with many of my peers, I will be finishing my high school education here – an experience better than I could have ever imagined.
In the quote I read by Mr. Vanier, he alluded to our worth as humans and also, our weaknesses. Prince George Secondary School is not only an institution dedicated to helping students become better citizens; it is an institution dedicated to helping students become better versions of themselves. And for me personally, my time spent here has been beyond beneficial as a citizen and an individual.
Being a student at PGSS has an experience in facing my fears and weakness, while building upon my strengths and unique talents. It has been an opportunity to gain friendships and work as a team. It has been a time to progress intellectually and excel personally. I have had the fortune of playing right wing for the BCMML Cariboo Cougars and volunteered as an advocate for mental health. I have been challenged academically and worked to raise awareness of broken-self images.
Writing today, I realize I am not just graduating. We all are. I am not just better than I was before I entered PG. We all are.
We have grown, shared joy; celebrated, admitted weaknesses, collaborated and come together. We have been encouraged and inspired, taught to expect more and to forgive ourselves. Thinking back to when I first moved to Prince George, I wasn’t the best athlete. Not even close. But thanks to Coach Renzo Berra and our three seasons working together, I am not only more conditioned physically, I am more emotionally wise.
Coach Berra taught me many things, but if I may, I’d like to share with you three lessons I will take with me from my years spend here at PGSS.
1. Work hard and never give up. My parents also modeled these behaviours growing up. They are words I live by, and as an athlete, a student, a friend and an advocate for mental health, words I repeat daily.
2. Communicate effectively. In every class I’ve attended, I’ve participated in many group projects, met many new faces and delivered many presentations. One thing I’ve learned is to achieve the best possible outcome, you have to communicate effectively and work together. Anyone who has played a team sport knows, you’re better as a group than you are individually, two brains are better than one, working together is easier than working alone.
3. Know yourself. Grade 12 came with many new opportunities, but also many challenges – mostly how to keep everything in balance. When life is overwhelming, it is especially important to remember to let it out – talk to someone you trust. But, it is also just as critical to just slow down. Find a counsellor, play a sport or hang out with family and friends. Life can be overwhelming for all of us, but thanks to the support systems and intrapersonal skills I’ve learned, chaotic times can be best managed if you know yourself and what you need.
I guess you could say all of these lessons align with a personal value of mine, which is connection – also a theme for time spent here at Prince George Secondary School.
My grade 12 year has passed very quickly. If I could rewind time, I would tell myself to have the most fun possible, to not lose sight of the important people and to make the most out of every day. When things become challenging, don’t give up and always chase your dreams. After all, if you really put your mind to something, you can achieve it.
Today, we are coming together as one. After many years of group work, teamwork and schoolwork, we are embarking on our own, unguided paths. Whether you travel or go straight to post-secondary, whether you dive right into a passion or spend time searching, always remember where you came from and the skills you’ve taken with you.
I would like to wish every one of classmates the very best. We all stumble. We all fail. We all feel alone, we all have insecurities – they make us human. But we all also have the ability to share our worries, work hard to achieve our dreams and believe in ourselves. Never give up and always remember where you came from.

I'm guessing this took place after Owen just narrowly escapes another of Thagirion's demon attacks. Don't know if it was Thagirion himself or if he sent some underling after him. Owen takes refuge in this room and just leans on this desk catching his breath and gathers his thoughts. He hates his fire. He wishes he had never gotten it. It doesn't hurt him but he feels it's ruined his life that was so perfect before it. He can't do normal things because of it so he had to develope his helmet and tanks to cover it up. He put his genius to use inventing that and the clear metal substance that his sword is also made of. But he hates that his gear draws the wrong kind of attention and people still stare at his fire, ask him stupid questions or whisper behind his back. So instead of being proud of his accomplishment he hates it too. But better that than having his fire be free. After a while he even started covering that up with the black bandana. He chose black because it's the best color to cover up the light from his flames. At night he's rather obvious. Not the kind of attention he likes. Notice on his left you can see his coat draped over the handle of his sword. He has to carry that everywhere for defense. I want to draw him from the side too so you can see how he ties the knot of his bandana under the little nozzles for his air lines. I drew this two years ago. I hope I was able to show that this is cloth under a hard surface. So I tired to leave some smooth parts and a few folds towards the back of his head to show this. I could probably do better now. Shading the helmet was a bit tricky and I still don't think it's quite right. But I'm thrilled with how his coat and shirt turned out. Hope you guys like it. Let me know what you think.
And he's alone. He doesn't like being alone. He wouldn't like that but he wouldn't want to show weakness to anyone so he'd only get like this when alone. Also it's extremely rare for him to get like this. So that's why I called this a rare Moment of Weakness for him. If someone were to walk into the room he'd quickly compose himself.
When we grew up and went to school,
There were certain teachers who would
Hurt the children in any way they could.
By pouring thier decision
Upon anything we did
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids.

In Oct 2006 I became part of something that tore me apart on the inside. I spent 3 weeks sitting by the bed side of someone who had previously rejected me; while he was fighting for his life after giving half of his liver to his father. I would leave work, drive to Presby, sit for 3 hour visit time in TICU, and go to leave only to have him beg me to stay with him longer. So I would wait the 90 minutes between allowed visits and go back, only leaving at 3 am to drive home get a couple hours of sleep and go to work again. For 3 weeks I did this, crying on the inside as I sat by his bed, and crying on the outside once I walked out of those hospital doors. I don't know that I wanted to be there, but he needed me there, he pleaded that I come back day after day. Day after day I went back, drivng 90 minutes each way with a cd (that my brother had left in the car) repeating the music for 3 weeks straight. Every minute of those long drives solemnly rang out to numbness and sadness that I was undergoing.
While I sat in that bedside chair I watched the unit buzzing around me. I dissected every move that the nursing staff made. I stored every bit of knowledge I could hear of thier conversations. I was entranced. I had seen many nurses in my time, I had my share of nurterers while pregnat, my father and grandmother had been in and out of the hospital that year, and the number of nurses I came encounter with during my stints at the center . Yet, never before now was I so observant of what they actually did. Maybe it was because for the first time I could just sit and watch, or maybe it was because I was searching for an escape from the room where I felt like a prisoner with a cell mate that did me so wrong. What went on outside that open TICU door was my escape from having to deal with the emotions' that laid in the bed before me. I was there in that room in person, but my spirit floated to that door to survey these servants of man keeping others alive.
I decided that I was going to do that. I was going to be one of them. I wanted to nurture, I wanted to care for those that needed it. I wanted to be a nurse.
When I started college nursing school was my intention. Being accepted into the program was no easy feat, and many have to take pre-nursing courses before even being considered into the nursing program. So that is what I did. I picked a second major and set out to get all of my pre-req out of the way. While doing this I went for my phlebotomy/lab certification. When I got into my clinical portion of the lab certification the decision to be a nurse was cemented. I loved every minute of it, I adored the patients, and felt as if I was finally doing something meaningful. The time came for me to go through the application process for a lab job. I was hopeful, I was excited, I walked on water for 6 months and was told the job was right there for the taking. All I needed to do was take a simple physical. Two days later I was informed that the lab job was no longer there, that my medical history was to much of a risk for them to take. I was devastated.
I went back to school with a lowered head. Many things went through my mind. If I couldn't get hired by the hospital why was I wanting to be a nurse? I kept on with the nursing courses, as well as the human resource courses not quite sure of my intended path. When the time came to schedule for my fall courses I realized that the next leg of courses for my RN were very time intensive, and my HRM degree was still a long way off. So I started searching for what majors' I could fit a good portion of my credits into. My choices became Park & Rec Mgmt or Psychology. It became a no brainer, with Psych I could still help, I could still nurture, and I could possibly use my life experiences to help someone else.
So now my student id card reads
"Stephanie Steele"
"HRM/Psychology"
note to marketers: I'm a sucker for ice cream, brands with numbers, ginger, clean design, pure ingredients.
This is something that I will never forget.
