Sonic cleaning services of parts, jewelery, collectibles, antiques and more with Wooley's rants and musings thrown in for free.
Saturday, October 03, 2009
I think Elvis should have made the line "Caught in a trap, and I can't walk out..." should have been more like "I'm stuck in a rut, and I can't climb out..."
Over the years of blogging I have had other readers come and go, some long timers dropped me like a hot exhaust pipe bolt before getting blisters; is it any wonder? Looking back on things I have tried to do, starting my motorcycle magazine for one, it's just not going to happen. All the time and effort I had put into it lead to problem after problem. There were advertisers that contacted me back, writers who were willing to come on board, printers I had spoken with etc, etc but I just don't have and don't know how to get the backing I needed to obtain print off. It is another industry that the more you get to digging in you find hidden things that never occurred. Potential advertisers wanted to know what my circulation was. How can a new start up have a circulation record of any type? Then there was the magazine owner/editor with whom talked to me at great length, which I appreciated, but told me an online magazine was the way to go these days. There was also a couple of magazines who asked me to submit articles sounding all excited to have something different but then never put in print.
Henry Thoreau and others of his time went through the same ordeal in a way about getting articles in print. What happened to them, sorta the same as I, were rejections coming back because it didn't fit the magazines profile. They, Thoreau, Alcott I think Channing plus a couple of others was to produce their own Magazine called "The Dial" which had their own ideals and format to suit them. Many of Thoreaus' writings were never in print until after his death and that bites.
Not only is it the magazine I am struggling with letting go but other items to. I know that being a Bass player in some fine band is long, long gone. That was something that I hung up for the biggest part years ago. Picking up that four stringed piece of thundering, window rattling hunk of wood and electronics and knowing my way around it's fretboard is mostly forgotten now. Though I have picked it up every now and then I have pretty much forgotten how to play it. Was a time that I played it all day long every day by ear and feel. Now, the ear is gone and so is the feel for it. The darned thing sat in a closet for the better part of probably, jeez, eighteen or twenty years and I've had it for almost thirty three years. But off and on the feeling would return so it'd come out from the dust only for me to find the notes were being lost as it was a struggle to play it. There was a time when I held it and didn't have to think about playing it I just played it.
Not trying to be a downer here but that is what I am doing isn't it? Feeling sorry for myself. Three deaths in the family this year along with two friends having strokes and another still with a brain tumor within two years is wearing on me. All three of these friends worked hard towards their dreams, saving and waiting, pursuing and waiting as if all of the tomorrows will keep coming. Then they each wake up one morning to find everything is changed and those chances are gone. Now they can't do anything because mounting medical bills eat them up
I have to stop this thinking of big pursuits and narrow it all down to just two or three bucket list goals. You have to have patience but at some point you just have to stop being patient and get on with it, anything, something before it is to late in the game. Sometimes needed changes are hard, just so hard to accomplish. The repercussions on any decision can be monumental but do you take the chance and all the heartache that comes with it, or do you just stay in the rut. I am so in the rut that I am loosing the desire for so many passions I once had. This is not how I envisioned my life turning out this far in the game. Nobodies life goes as planned to the letter but you get stuck going down a path farther and farther until the turnaround's get fewer and fewer. " I gotta get out of this place, if it's the last thing I ever do..." This rut is the place I have to get out of so my goals and dreams are being reduced by me and some have to be let go of. Next week I may change my mind but it has been a long time coming and frankly, it scares the hell out of me.
Two things everyone needs to get rid of are rear view mirrors and yellow light goals. With rear view mirrors you only see where you've been and not where you are going, and yellow lights hold you back, slow you down and make you nervous to proceed.

Great post Wooley!
Life sucks sometimes... thanks for reminding us so!
I'm understand the content of your publication may NOT be what your having problems with, but the advertising support. It's tough right now and I hope it still works out for you. Remember this... I love to write. I don't have any money, but if you DO get this rag up and running, I'd love to write for you. I don't want any $$, just the chance to get my words out there.
Taking a trip down memory lane with with the bass... priceless. I hang on to things like that too. Even though it's not an active part of your life now... it's still a big part of who you are.
Changing our direction during life probably happens more often than we realize. It's just harder to allow it, when we feel strongly about what has to change.
Keep the faith and don't give up. The next step you take may be the one that crests over that rut! :)

in my mind, i can still see a loving rider and family running a biker inn in the woods...
rear view mirrors are a reflection of yesterday, nothing more.
yellow lights, fears, strongholds, resistance,lack of complete dedication, these are some the reason dreams stay only dreams...
this has been a tough year wooley. dont let it get to you. dont let lifes bullshit have that power. its always darkest before dawn...
- FLHX_Dave said...
Every successful person has failed over, and over, and over again. Then again Wooly...what is your gauge for success? ahhhhh...You already have done more than most people I know just in your attempts. THAT says alot.
Plan without execution is a waste of a plan. Execution without a plan is wasted effort. Balance both and it will happen. Plans never work as planned and alter it when you can. Most people don't have the desire or knowhow to do both. They are good at one or the other. Stick to what you know and love because you are gonna need the passion to make it when it gets hard.
Sounds to me like you are on the right track just because of the failures...I know failure probably more than most people only because I have stuck my neck out there so many times. You know what? I don't regret it. Sure I'm disappointed but at least I took a swing and didn't go down without a good fight.
awww crap...there I go again, sorry. Just I know VERY WELL where you are coming from. Oh yeah...there is another point...What are you willing to sacrifice? Sometimes that sacrifice is not worth realizing the dream...been there too by the way.
"Use your gifts or they will be given to someone else."
Man, I'll keep it shorter next time. geeezzzz...Oh yeah, are you still considering the online mag deal?
- WooleyBugger said...
Shoot, I don't know where to begin with all these great feedback comments.
Lady Ridesalot, ad dollars are getting harder to come by as more companies pull back because of the economy. Everyone wants a piece of the pie only the pies aren't as big as they use to be. I'd need to get quarkexpress or one similar to do up the formatting to send to the printer as I just can't find anyone who does printing the old way anymore. Not to forget that I was wanting someone (printer)local so I could look at proofs before the press ran off copies with screw ups in it.
My son is trying to learn the bass now. When he was a little younger I bought him a Yamaha six string because he wanted to play one and my bass guitar was definatly off limits to he and his friends then. I know that he had snuck the bass off its display spot and my mic's to at times but I never said anything. Being sneaky made it more fun I think. Now I know he will respect it and I encourage him to mess with it whenever he likes, and he does.
This Inn thing would be oh so fun with meeting new faces and seeing old ones again. There are many things that could be done with it I feel sure. I've always loved the mountains and did live for a time in the mountains of Georgia before it began getting so populated with all those rich folks buying up land for weekend get-a-ways. Living in a $400,000 + home in the city and then having a $400,000 + home for a weekend retreat is beyond me. They want to get away from it all but brought it all with them. AARRRGGGG.
My place would not have anything but rustic simple ameneties with low impact on the land and area. I'd want it to be as natural as possible with a few very small cabins, mostly tenting area, a little BYO cantina area with a fireplace.
I have found three properties that are within my range and looking for others. I also have a friend that might, might could stay there year round as cartaker while I keep my day job to get it rolling along. However there are lots to consider family wise. My son has one more year of Highschool and I can't think about relocating him this late in the game for my own personal venture. Of course there isn't anything to keep me from getting something going towards the goal though. If I decide I want to do it.
- WooleyBugger said...
You always have great insightful comments and feedback that like all of you, keeps me looking forward. Don't worry about long responses (I had to split these cause it was to long for blogger) as I rather have the ones I get from all of you that say something instructive.
I keep plugging at different things hoping to find what will work well for me. I love to write but, well you already know my thoughts on that about getting published again by someone else. I would fall down, curl up in a ball and wail from joy if I was picked up and allowed to travel around doing stories from the road. I can just see myself blubbering down the road from being so happy being able to do that. You know, sorta like when my son was born kind of joy.
Plan execution is a tough one as I get going deeper and deeper into it and find myself getting lost with to many things to look into. I am afraid to step back though at that point for fear of losing sight of the prize. But I did do it all the way, top to bottom with my concert promotion gig and felt so good even after it flopped over. It was a hell of a ride that not many people will ever experience so it was all worth it to me. Thats one thing I have not one regret about at all, plus I can say I did it while others only dream it. Maybe not wanting to be filthy rich from it but just enough to be comfortable was my downfall. Some people are afraid to succeed but I desire it and keep looking for the right combination.
At the Tuck Inn I could ride, write and live happy with much less. I already had an idea for another Inn half way between here and the coast for those winter months called "The Go Tuck Yourself Two Inn" just for a hoot. Now I do know of a place and area for that one already.
The online mag was something I was considering. A friend could help out some showing me how to do the web stuff cause I'm just not in the know about how all that works. He just would show me the basics and then let me try to fiquire the rest myself becaue of time constrants on him. If I knew more about doing a website I'd jump on it probably, just don't have the needed help to do it. I just have to decide on which dreams I want to hang on to and which ones to let go of.
Let me say one more thing here, I have tried a few things and to be honest with customers in one venture only to be left holding the bag. Had customers who didn't pay in my home based small engine shop that ate into my already small bottom line that I had to eat, and that my friend made me give that dream up.
But hey! If ya got any ideas on the mag let's hear them. It still has a heart beat in it for now.
- mq01 said...
have you ever watched "the secret"? check it out. there is an analogy in it that rings true (i wont get into why its true here, that could be long winded...). but anyways, the analogy used; imagine riding at night, you can only see whats in the headlight, 100-200 ft ahead, yet you can cross the country this way, 100-200 ft at a time. in others words, you dont have to identify every step of the way, things will unfold.
what is important is that you do something, whatever it takes to be happy. so follow your dream(s). do something with all your heart, soul, and passion. you will make it work. the law of attraction doesnt fail.
i can see it. nice property, a few small studio cabins, a few tent spaces, bikes safe and sound with maybe an area for bikewash or repairs, a firepit for late nights. a place where nature is undisturbed, where friends from across the country can meetup. and i think you have already mastered how to advertise it in the bike and travel mags. i can see it wooley.
- WooleyBugger said...
I can see it too mq01 as the fun relaxing place to come stay. It would have to be a place without all the things like t'v's and fancy stuff. It has to be a place to get away from all that and enjoy other riders companionship and riding plus just enjoy the outdoors.

It was a busy week last week ... Thanksgiving has come and gone for another year. I went out to Rockford with a close friend last weekend and listened to the high school choir sing some carols and then the mayor made a speech and "lit" the lights of the town to launch the Christmas season.
Kelly's family was getting together down in Indiana for the actual day of Thanksgiving, so we decided to have a turkey dinner ahead of time ~ we got together at my beach house last Sunday and celebrated with thankful hearts. Brendan is cutting lots of teeth, but he still enjoyed himself exploring my little house.
Brendan is a fast crawler now and can get anywhere he wishes. I love to watch him go!
I can barely remember what life was like without Brendan ... he showed up and stole all of our hearts!
Dylan is playing "Shut the Box" and Brendan is helping him ...
On Tuesday, mom and I were chauffeured down to Detroit to spend the holiday at my sisters! My nieces and their kiddos were going to be visiting and it isn't often that I get to see them.
This is Terry showing Nolan how to play billiards. Terry and Ruthanne have moved into the house that Terry and his dad built many years ago, and it is now beautifully renovated.
This is my niece, Shelley, and her husband, Bob. They have two beautiful boys: Matthew and Nolan. Bob works with Apple computers and Shelley does a million things all at the same time ... one of the most interesting is that she is a marvelous illustrator (published!) of children's books.
|Ruthanne and Shelley on their three-season porch
My niece, Shari, and her husband, Mark, were also in town from Appleton, Wisconsin. Esme' and Asher are playing with their grandma (my sis) out on the porch. Ruthanne has lots and lots of fun toys to play with ... I am very envious of this Mattel racetrack! I'd like one here at my beach house!
This is Esme', my great-niece, and my sister's only granddaughter. Isn't she darling?
And this is Matthew Owen, the very first grandchild of my sis. He is a beautiful boy in so many ways.
|This is my niece, Shari! I hadn't seen her in over two years!
|It was so good to see Shelley again ... she and Bob
now live in the house where Shelley grew up!
This is Nana getting acquainted with Esme'. It's been over two years since we've seen her and she is now almost 4-1/2. She talks up a storm and sounds like a teenager, which is very fun to listen to.
This is Mark and Asher enjoying the scrumptious dinner Ruthanne prepared. My sister is a marvelous cook.
Shari and Mark didn't come to visit until the day after Thanksgiving. It was so fun to have them all together and watch their kids play together.
|Shari and Asher
We also got to do some "FaceTime" with my brother David in Florida. Isn't technology so amazing?!
Christmas is four weeks from tomorrow ... I have much preparation yet to do!

dally veterinary medicine
So, I OWN livestock. As in - llamas, goats and chickens. I think that makes a difference.
That's Como on the left -- he's a guard llama (a not very good one). But we love him anyway.
I have experience treating alpacas, llamas, yaks, cattle and goats--- and horses -- but I'll get to them later.
Things I can help with: vaccinations,
TB testing, Igg testing, pregnancy management, ultrasound, health certificates, diarrhea diagnostics and treatment, respiratory disease diagnostics and treatment, etc. Yes, I am a USDA licensed and accredited veterinarian. If you are a hobby farmer, or have a small backyard operation, then I'm the vet for you.
If you have 500 head and they all have a number, please call Montrose Vet.
Horses: Yes -- I treat those too: including Coggins, Health certificates, vaccines, hand-floating, laceration repair, colic and choke. But -- I don't do lameness -- I recommend John Harris in Grand Junction for any lameness issues.
And remember -- I don't have after hours emergency services.

In autism, brain's emotion hub begins with too many cells
The amygdala, a brain region that governs emotions, may be enlarged and overly connected in children with autism, but it shrinks as the children grow up.
The amygdala, a brain region that governs emotions, may be enlarged and overly connected in children with autism, but it shrinks as the children grow up.
Neurons derived from people with mutations linked to autism display diverse abnormalities that may help explain the origins of these individuals' features.
Neurons derived from people with a syndromic form of autism look and behave differently than do those from people with classic autism.
Children with mutations in a gene called DYRK1A, a leading autism candidate, have a distinct set of features, including intellectual disability, speech delay, motor problems and a small head.
A cannabis gel may ease features of fragile X syndrome, omega fatty acids show promise for autism in two trials, and oxytocin reinforces social behaviors through the brain's reward pathway.
Eric Courchesne is known for his findings on brain size in autism. But the roots of his long career trace back to his own childhood disability.
The evidence linking autism and maternal infections grows, special neuron recipes are in development, a CRISPR pioneer envisions unicorns, and 23andMe delivers empathy data.
A minority of boys with autism have brains that are unusually large relative to their bodies — a trait tied to regression and intellectual disability.
Peruse our picks for the best science photos published on Spectrum this year.
Mice missing one copy of a top autism gene show many of the features seen in people with the mutation — but not social deficits.

A Thought for Thursday
If you're single, what is the ONE thing you miss most about being "a couple"?
If you're married or in a long term relationship what is the ONE thing that is best about it and keeps you in it?
Note to Caroline: The operative word if "ONE." LOL!! Being newly in love makes people verbose!
8 comments:
HaHaHa...you are so funny Lynilu. Since I am in a new relationship I am going to answer both questions.ReplyDelete
1) I think what I missed the most was that one person I called when I had either good news or bad news. Not having any contact with my family I really missed having someone that I could call when things were either really good or really bad. Oh, and I missed the sex. :)
2) Those late night talks where you connect on such a deeper level.
Having someone who shares the same goals and dreams for your life together and who has a shared history to reflect back on and say "Remember when..."ReplyDelete
I guess being loved and having someone to love goes without saying, right? :)
Just the comfort of being able to be me with all the cracks and flaws and knowing he's always there for me anyway.ReplyDelete
- redfrog27September 25, 2008 2:04 PM
Hmmmmmm good question. I have been married for almost 15 years and I love him like we just met and still finding out neat things out about him. Its not that we depend on each other but more like we complete each other he has his interests and I have mine. We also have combined interests. Gosh I sound all gushyReplyDelete
When Man comes home, he always has a smile on his face, a hug, a kiss and an I love you. It really is nice to love Man and have him love me right back.ReplyDelete
Yeah .... all that. :)ReplyDelete
Thanks, everyone.
LMAO at the comment to Caroline!!!ReplyDelete
Well... I am very thankful and blessed to have a husband who does alot for me and Maddie. I love that he takes care of us!
Sometimes though I yearn for a little independence and freedom to travel more but that's it....
Patti, that girl just can follow the rules, can she? ;DReplyDelete
If you have something to say about it, just stick out your thumb, and I'll slow down so you can hop aboard! But hang on, 'cause I'm movin' on down the road!!! No time to waste!!!

The Bigotry-Driven Life
Rick Warren -- shown here misreading the signs and closing in for a mouth-kiss from someone who doesn't swing that way -- worked hard to ensure that his flock joined the many faith-based communities that helped pass California's proposition 8. They did so in the name of their favorite god's cramped, hateful view of his supposed creation, but not every church joined in the bigotry:
The pastor of the 4,000-member All Saints Church in Pasadena spoke out against Proposition 8, calling the religious community's support of it "embarrassing."Kudos to Ed Bacon for acknowledging the obvious. Perhaps there were people who supported prop 8 for non-religious reasons, but I don't know what those reasons would be. There could be, I suppose, people who so strongly oppose state entanglement with marriage that they're willing to abridge one group at a time. Or people who don't themselves believe in gods but have been bamboozled by any of several myths that gay-obsessed god fans can't seem to stop perpetuating.
The church announced that while it could no longer legally marry same-sex couples, it would continue blessing gay civil unions.
"It's very unfortunate and embarrassing that the (Christian religion) is in large part responsible for this act of bigotry," the Rev. Ed Bacon said after his sermon.

When I was here in 2007 I spent a lot of time with a boy named Peter. I had understood that he had returned to Guyana with his family so I didn't look for him this time. Today he came into the classroom going to see the other teacher when we looked at each other and recognition dawned. He yelled, "Mees, Mees, it's you, it's you" and rushed into my arms. We just stood there in a major hug for a long time. You can imagine how I felt.
Then this afternoon another former student came by my apartment. He is now in high school. He said he was passing St. John and saw me painting the wall and wanted to know if I remembered him. He was one of the kids who helped paint last time.
This morning on the way to school, I passed a little girl filling her water buckets at the tap at the end of the street. A great big black man with a huge stalking tiger on his tee shirt yelled at her, "Hurry up, girl, you only have 5 sedconds left." A mature lady was also passing by, and she stopped and berated him, "Help the child, you can't expect a little child to carry that load - you take two." The two of us grandmothers stood there looking up at him. He stood there looking down at us. He blinked first, but just turn his back on us and walked away to the other corner where his buddies were standing. The little girl tottered off up the street with her buckets of water.
Quite an emotional day. So I went and had a huge coconut ice cream cone!
Exactly a week left. It really is nuts that just when I get settled, organized, and get to know the shop keepers, street vendors, neighbours, children, et al that I have to leave.

I guess most of us in the North of Europe know that life down south has a different schedule in terms of work, eating and bed times, going out etc. It is pretty well known that Spaniards for example have dinner quite late (in Dutch standard the "quite" can be replaced by "very") but I had never realised what this means when you have kids.
Soon after arriving in Spain I noticed that when going out for dinner it was not weird at all to see kids (and not just older kids, definitely also babies and toddlers) until really late in restaurants and tapas bars. Children running around until midnight when the parents are having a drink and a bite is the most normal thing in the world. I was always thinking that for my Dutch standards it was a tad bit late for those kids but now that I have a baby myself it gets even more challenging to keep up some sort of a social life without turning our bichin into a night owl.
From the moment Lucas had some kind of sleep rhythm we put him to bed quite early (20ish) and after taking out his night feedings he even went to sleep earlier. Right now he is in bed most nights around 19 / 19.15h and will sleep (unfortunately most nights still with some breaks where he needs his dummy to be put back in, if we´re lucky those breaks are before midnight, if we´re unlucky…well let´s not get into that fun) until 7 / 8 the next day.
This very Northern European schedule is sometimes difficult to maintain in Spain where kids don´t go to bed before 21 / 22 (or even 23) and meeting with friends or family is based on those standards. I honestly quite like it to still have my nights for myself because if Lucas would go to bed Spanish times, when the hell do you have your me-time or couple-time? To read a book, watch Grey´s Anatomy, have a real talk with your partner, catch-up some work, take a long bath…. I can go on and on here. And more importantly, besides that I don´t mind some peace & quiet at night, I think that little kids need a good (full) night of sleep as well.
I think traditionally due to the heat in Spain there was a long break after lunch and then the streets would get lively again after 20 / 21 or so. With Spanish office hours working-parents often get home very late so this might be another reason because if you still want to see your kid it´s already later than in the north of Europe. Also since dinner is so much later in Spain if the family wants to have dinner together then automatically kids go to bed much later. Restaurants often don´t open before 20.30h so yeah, good luck going out with the whole family and maintaining a normal bed time.
Therefore, this insanely foreign bed-hour that we´re working with in our home seems to surprise many friends and colleagues around us. I don´t know how many times a colleague asked me if I was looking forward to get home after a day in the office to see my bichin and then got completely shocked when I answered that I wouldn´t see him anymore because he would be long in bed. Often times the reactions were why we wouldn´t keep him awake until I was back. Of course after a day away I would love to see our bichin and play with him but seriously, isn´t this the world upside down? Keeping my baby awake until I am back so I can still see and enjoy him?
Meeting with friends (with kids) in the weekend gets sometimes a bit challenging. If it´s for dinner, then you´re meeting very late (21 / 22ish) and although their kids are usually around we either take the bichin with us but put him to sleep there or arrange for a baby sitter. Therefore, afternoon meetings are more convenient for us but due to also late and very long family lunches on Sunday for example an "afternoon" meetup here would be more of an evening or even night meetup in Dutch standards. (From 17.30/18ish onwards) It also took a while before family here understood that stopping by around 18.30h was not very appreciated: right when we were in wind downtime giving the bichin his bath and dinner to get him completely excited with visitors who didn´t really get the concept of winding down.
I am quite happy with our Northern European schedule (and with the fact that we have our nights usually for ourselves) and we´re lucky that we can always count on my parents-in-law for babysitting in the evenings. They love to spend time with their grandson and are literally always available for him, but sometimes I feel a bit bad asking them again to stay with the bichin at night if we want to go out. Because obviously by the time we go out for dinner, he is sound asleep for a couple of hours already so no real fun for them in that kind of babysitting…..

I have great children. Just sometimes, I wish all I had to do was wake up and create.
My creative path has become a journey with stops and starts, bumps and slippery conditions. My goal right now is to figure out how to get through the treacherous road conditions!
Adding to the stress, is the pressure to constantly come up with new designs. I enjoy sitting at my workbench and creating something from this and that. But sometimes when there is so much going on, it's very difficult to to get to that point where the ideas flow.
I am on vacation this week and it's easier to see what needs to be done. Some things I've mentioned before...de-clutter, clean, get organized! I'd also like to get to the yoga studio, meditate, and pray more.
I want to get to the point where my life is unfettered by the stresses of living in our world.
A simple life...where less is more.

I don't own this hat, but I now I wish I did! I tried on this beautiful (silk?) cocktail hat by Laura Whitlock at what has to be one of the last Hat nights at Brasserie Jo in 2003. I have another hat, similiar in style, also by Laura. It's made of this beautiful hand-dyed fuschia chiffon. Like the hat pictured above, it also ties underneath your hair.
I truly enjoyed the Hat Nnights that were held monthly at this popular downtown French bistro. If you wore a chapeau on that night, you got a free chocolate dessert in the shape of a picture hat. I usually spent the evening trying on hats between sips of wine and nibbles on the restaurant's famous steak frites. Even if I didn't leave with a new topper by the end of the evening, I usually had a great time talking with other women who love wearing hats as much as I do.
I went back to Brasserie Jo recently for a Knitting Night. While I enjoy stitching with other ladies who enjoy the same, it lacks the glamorous vibe of Hat Night. It was funny because this new event was held in a room decorated with vintage pictures of women wearing hats in the 1950s. Wouldn't you know it, but in the entryway were photos of women from Hat Nights past! Next time I go to this eatery, I'll wear a hat. Let's see if I can still get a complimentary dessert.
Has wearing a hat ever gotten you free scoop of ice cream, cake or pie?

OT: Help!!! St. John's Wort
doing a little bit of research on St. Johns Wart. I have been addiment about not going on another medication to trea my depression. My therapist gave me a little iot of info as to what to look for in St. Johns Wort. I've only done a little bit of research and am already tired. There's an extract, a liquid alcohol extract, the list goes on.
I've tried tablets I bought at Henry's. I'm not convinced they helped as much as simply the passage of time and a better perspective, but I didn't have any side effects from them. From what I read, the studies are mixed as to weather they really help or not.
I was told to look for 900mg. But, they ask that you give it 4-6 weeks to take affect. I don't have that kind of time.
I took it for months I saw no difference, Others I have talked to say it was great. I guess like meds it has different effects for different people. I got mine from a local health food store in the organics dept. I belive it was 900 mg or greater. It has been a while I truly don't remember.
I used them and they tended to make me really distant and detatched. And, very very tired all the time.
I too tried it with no luck. Got better results by changing my sleep "habits"! Do not eat or drink anything (other than water) for 2 hrs before bed. Go to bed the same time every night. NO TV watching or reading in bed (unless it's a weekend night and I WANT to be up late). I also bought new pillows, and sheets that I found "soothing" and experimented with sides of the bed to sleep on and what position I fell asleep best in.
I got better results from all that than I did from St. Johns Wort...like you I got sick of all the medications (and a little scared too). OH and I got a very "cool" table top humidifier for my bedroom. it has a nice "glow" to it (comforting) and the mist keeps my sinus' clear.

FYI...St. John's Wort can decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills...my friend now has a 6 year old (bonus blessing) as a result of this side effect.
What has worked wonders for me is something called 5-HTP. Look into it... I have been taking 100mg in the morning on an empty stomach with a small amount of juice. It's kind of a pseudo-seratonin...it's not made my days easier, but I can get through them because I can cope better. The first two weeks I was taking it, I could IMMEDIATELY feel the effects of coming "off" of it... it was instant tears around 8 pm (12 hours after the initial dose) but now, those effects have started to wear off I believe. But maybe it's because I am further into my recovery as well. It can't hurt, and it's over the counter (because I WILL NOT do prescription)
It is extremely popular in Europe. I understand it is safe. You are not supposed to take it with pharmaceutical antidepressants.
well usually anti-depressants also take 3-4 weeks to start working in your system. so it makes sense the st. johns wart would take the same amount of time. st. johns wart has done nothing for me, i have been on antidepressants for over 10 years. i have had to switch a few times.
I have tried St Johns Wart in the past and not only did it not help me i had unpleasant side effects as well. I have found that nutritional support has been the most helpful and unfortunately greatly underrated in the battle of situational depression. I go to a Kinesiologist and he has helped me tremendously. A multi Vitamin B complex is a must. When I don't take mine I can really tell the difference. Also Phyto and Glyco nutrients will give your body what it needs to heal itself including chemical imbalance. And of course the usual healthy diet and daily exercise.

The bed room for many is the most important room in the house. There are many things you can do with lighting to help produce the mood and environment you're looking for in your bedroom. It is essential to have the correct mild in your bed room whether reading, sleeping or just calming. The colour scheme of a bed room has a large function to perform in the mood and ambiance of the bed room. And the way in which lighting is used to great impact in a space, will depend on the colour of the partitions and the furnishings in that room.
Low power bulbs are a fantastic way of reaching gentle, led desk lamp and are perfect for bedside lamps. They can provide enough mild so you can study a guide and stop you from getting to place up with the conventional light bulb that can occasionally be much too vibrant. Reduced energy bulbs look best in lamps that have a partially sheer shade. This is simply because the sample on the shade can be lit up and reflected around the room to give the room some character.
9 out of 10 people can value an incredibly patterned glass lamp shades. Those who have been struck with this kind of artwork will reckon that it is a fun things to get hooked with or learn to decor their house with glass lamp shades.
The color and the intensity of every pixel are determined in one or more bits of information. The quantity of bits is referred to the quantity of colors every pixel can contain. The most common are one little bit, 8 little bit, and 24bit. The one little bit scanner is the most basic kind of scanner simply because it only information black and white. The bits are only able to express two values on or off.
Make sure you include batteries. This is a gift that will remind them of you on every event they have to use it. My individual favorite is the flex neck reading light on Amazon for $4.95.
Probably the very best thing about these mild resources is its lengthy and useful existence. It is claimed that they can be made use of for about 35,000 to fifty,000 hours while fluorescent bulbs only around five,000 to fifteen,000 hours, and incandescent ones only for one,000 to two,000 hours. For the users of cheap lamps, this lifespan is quite a long quantity of time considering that they only make use of the device at night for a few of hours at the most before bedtime.
During time, stained glass may lose the brightness of the direct lines. The blackness of the patina will dry and the edges of the direct will start to corrode. Numerous producers use direct to fuse the materials simply because it is malleable and very tough. Lead can have many designs to match between the glass items.
The part where most individuals have issues is when they're putting the partitions intact. If one of the pieces breaks or falls, you'll have to start over. This can get irritating! For this reason, you must use some thing to help support when you're putting the walls with each other. A wire is a fantastic instrument for this. As soon as you total the soldering, this is when you can remove the wire.

The great GBA vs GP32 debate
View Single Post
11 March 2004, 22:04
Posts: n/a
In my haste.. I accidently selected GBA.
Trust me - GP32 rocks. Better than GBA in so many ways. The community is fantastic - like the Amiga community used to be. Dev is too a penny.
The machine may be limited by 8mb on board which prevents some emulators from working at their best - eg 8mb prevents roms from being fully loaded in - but you can solve this with the 32mb hack.
Plus there is ample home brew dev - and native software. Origional titles which are great such as tomak saves the earth again.
Emulation is its biggest draw. Thankfully the GP32 has a flashible ROM - which has space for lots of different firmwears. A GBA emulator was thought impossible at full speed due to the GP32's own overheads. But one clever chap is in the process of writing a firmwear that enables you (much like the amigas early start up control) to reboot your GP32 into a GBA mode - thus freeing overheads and opening the GP32 upto GBA :-)
If you are going to buy one - go for a FLU unit, so you can play at night. GP32 standard unlit is more visible than GBA origional unlit anyway.

Lately Nick and I have been more brave and adventurous with our cooking (even more so than the 90% of our meals that are eaten out... Gross, I know).
As we were eating our Beef Chow Mein tonight I got thinking:
-90% of the time I like our home cooked meals better than the disgusting fast food we eat so regularly.
-100% of the time I like sitting down with my cute family in the comfort of our own home.
-75% (ha ha, don't judge I'm not much of a cook) I enjoy the process of cooking the meal, 100% of that 75 is because of my cute partner chef...
Soooo.... Why the crap do we waste so much of our money to nasty fast food?! CONVENIENCE. That's it. Sad right?? Today I choose that we will do better....

The third floor started today, and tomorrow it should be finished up (even though I'm surprised they're working on the weekend). Hallelujah the framing is almost done. I feel like we're borderline staulking the house at this point, and at any moment the construction crew will file a restraining order against us.
Week 4 - I spy a third floor, i.e. the "Nighttime Floor," complete with bedrooms.
We got bad news however; the neighbors directly next door to us, the ones whom we have been in contact with, learning from and growing closer to this whole time are putting their home up for sale next week. We were crushed, especially when we heard they just seperated. There is a whole lot of the "D" word going around right now, and it seems to hit hard to witness it (I can only imagine the pain of an actual participant). We are hoping for equally great neighbors to move in, so if you're in the market for an amazing piece modern house, custom done by a talented architect (the owner himself), it is worth a look. If only to see the sprawling master suite and tub.
Plus I've heard the neighbors aren't too bad.

Hi again!
This semester's studio is very fast-paced and we're already in the midst of our second studio project. This time, it is an adaptive reuse project. We are working with the Landmark Center in St. Paul to create an restaurant/bar space in their basement. It's a unique situation because basement restaurants can be a difficult place to make people aware of and draw people in. It's another partner project, so we will also be working on coordinating schedules and working with different people and opinions.
The space is very interesting, and I've included a picture to show you how it looks! The ceiling is very high and there's the challenge of many columns and other quirky features, like the mismatched windows. There's also the potential for a mezzanine area overlooking the space. There are a lot of possibilities with this space and it will be really cool to see what different groups come up with.
If you want to keep up with the progress of my classwork, and that of students in other design majors, make sure you're following the UMN Design Instagram. Here, we post about whatever we're up to and working on!
I can't wait to show off what my partner and I come up with for this awesome adaptive reuse project! Stay tuned, the project will be done before we know it!
Until next time,

Obama's speech on financial regulatory changes here.
@ work:
On Monday I got to help out here, and here. The Blair House has BH imprinted on the napkins in the bathroom...I almost took one. Haha.
It was worth it to wake up at 5 AM and work until 7:30 PM to get a glimpse of Hills on her way in. She wore a turquoise suit.
The hotel was interesting. Apparently lobbyists got their name by lingering in the lobby of the Willard Hotel during the presidency of Ulysses S. Grant.
Anyway, a whole bunch of people from Seoul came to prepare for President Lee's visit with President Obama. Text of press conference here.
One of the guys from Korea walked by me and asked where the men's room was. I told him I thought it was around the corner, and he continued to walk in that direction. I realized that other people might ask in the future, so I started walking a little bit behind him towards the men's room as well, and when he saw me he said [in Korean]: "Why are you chasing me?!"
So I explained to him that I was just checking to see where the men's room was so that I could tell people in the future.
Later that day, he came by and introduced himself to the interns, and asked us where we were from and what we were doing at the Embassy. When it was my turn to introduce myself, he said, "Oh yes, you're the girl who followed me to the bathroom, right?" Soy embarrassed!
And then we bonded over the fact that other Koreans always think we're either Japanese, or part Caucasian...which is weird because I really only get that from other Koreans. I guess they feel like I don't belong?
Since working at the Embassy, I have become painfully aware of how American I am.
This summer will be quite the learning experience.
In other news:
Professor Lucas sent me this b/c she remembered my previous post about missing women. Sigh. I miss my professors, and having my friends just minutes away from me at all times...
Twitter is shaping events in Iran: interesting.
Funny conversation about a serious matter:
Eamon: I just don't think EVERYONE in the world is better than Ahmadinejad the way Americans make it seem. Didn't Moussavi kill like tons of people?
Shakes: You know what Eamon. Not everyone's perfect, ok?
This past weekend, Chands and I went to see Giselle and got free orchestra seats! But we decided that we don't like the character, Giselle. First, she falls in love w/this guy who lies to her about not being engaged to someone else. Then she dies of a broken heart. [lame] Meanwhile, this other guy who really loves her too goes to her grave, and as a ghost, she does nothing to protect him from the other ghosts who curse him. But she ends up saving the guy who broke her heart while she was alive. WTF. What a tool...
Monday night I went to Cactus Cantina with Eamon and Shakes. Apparently it's Bush's favorite restaurant in D.C. It was delicious.
Life is delicious. I'll just keep telling myself that until I stop missing Wellesley.

The other week I was standing in front of a classroom full of American college students, talking about the Industrial Revolution and the cotton ships that plied their trade from New Orleans to Liverpool back in the second half of the 19thcentury. I thought it might catch their interest to mention Muhammad Ali's great grandfather Abe Grady made his way from County Clare to the United States on just such a boat around the 1860s. I thought wrong. I could tell from the blank looks on their faces the reference went straight over their heads.
Like any good teacher, I repeated the information, thinking it was merely the way I phrased the yarn that caused the problem in translation the first time. No, it wasn't. The problem was they had no idea who Muhammad Ali was. I know this because I asked them straight out what they knew about him. A lot of blank faces. No hands in the air. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, one student piped up. "Isn't he the guy that bit the other guy on the ear in a boxing fight?" I stopped it there before somebody else wondered whether Ali was the boxer in "The Hangover" movie.
I am now in my ninth year working as a part-time professor in two local colleges. This is not a column about how dumb the students are because they aren't. Yes, of course, some of them are smarter than others. Just like when I was in university at UCC and DCU two decades back. No, this is about the generation gap. The cliché used to be that you know you are getting old when the policemen start to look too young and fresh-faced for you. I've discovered that I know I'm getting old when my frames of reference mean nothing to the students sitting in front of me.
During a recent lesson about Islam, I brought up September 11th, 2001 and the fall-out from that terrible day. Most of these students are from the New York area. They lived through it. When I was disappointed by the lack of response, one student brought me to order. "I was seven years old when that happened," she said. "I don't remember anything about it except we got out of school early I think." That was me put in my box. When I started teaching the students were just over ten years younger than I am. Now, they are young enough that they could be my own sons and daughters.
This leads inevitably to a yawning and often embarrassing generation gap. They have no real understanding of the world before computers, smart phones and the internet. During a discussion about technology one day, I mentioned how back in Cork in the early 1980s we used to tape music by pressing a tape recorder against the speakers of the radio during shows we knew would play the artists we liked. As I explained the process, they sat there bemused. I might as well have brought in a caveman to tell them how he happened upon a way to make fire. That was how far removed the story was from their experience.
They have grown up in a different world. They don't read newspapers. Indeed, the idea of paying for news when it is available for free online is absolutely alien to them. They don't pay for music or anything else they can download illegally for free. Loud was the guffawing the time I mentioned buying an iTunes card in order to purchase an album. "I've always wondered who bought those," said one student. It's probably a good thing I teach some of them history because that's exactly where they believe I come from.

Anonymous, 12 Aug 2014as somone who worked on customer services for a major network provider i feel quite confident ... morevery well said! i agree!
If you are fed up with 1850 mAh, you should wait for Iphone 6s, it will be 1900 mAh, and in 2 years it will be 1950 mAh, don't worry, each year they will add 50 mAh more to the battery !!
One of the latest rumors estimate the battery is 2100 mAh. Not great but it starts to help. The deciding factor will be how efficient the new displays are but we know being mainly from LG it cannot match Sony's IPS tech so dont expect anything near Z1 Compact battery performance.
Gianpogi, 13 Aug 2014Should i wait for the Iphone 6 or should i get the 5s? :/ Wait for d 6 my fren
WTFFFFFF with that 1850mAh battery -_- ?

The Battery is not upto the requirement, this is not fine if Xiaomi can provide the Li-Po battery phones in 1/4th of the iPhone's price.
the difference from FullHD will reate problem with TV-out. Software problems prevent FullHD? No UHD video - Cutting costs or what? Yes, most people will have UDH only in a couple of years (along with Iphone 7 or 8) but some videos they will not be able to record again...
why do they put the fps down to 60 instead of keeping it at 120fps
1850 mah is not good for internet surfing.
you need to buy power bank.

Even if they announce iphone 6 wi... moreYour correct in some parts but the new iphone's always have better specs than their predecessor(as with all new flagships).The specs may appear to be behind the andriod flagships but sometimes they are actually above them.Andriod handsets find it hard to build brand loyalty because they have their customers in the state of mind that only specs,design etc matters.With Apple they have customers thinking that's there is only Apple.

There was an article on Reuters a couple of days ago about Dow's new photovoltaic roofing shingles. On the one hand, this is pretty cool. I mean, putting the means of production (of electricity) into the hands of the people is a pretty revolutionary concept if it can be done with sufficient efficiency and cost-effectiveness to make it a true improvement over (or addition to) the current system (get it – the current system? Ha! I've got a million of them. Well, no, mostly I just have that one.). But it's not without its challenges.
For starters, the new Dow system is currently even less efficient than the traditional photovoltaic plates we're used to seeing, and those are only around 15-20% efficient to begin with. In the physics world, efficiency is all about waste (or lack thereof). If you have a 100% efficient system, it converts energy from one from to another with no waste. On the one hand, you might argue that we "waste" the sun's light and heat energy all the time, and we usually "waste" all of it by not converting any of it into a more useful energy. So by that logic, converting even 10% of it is a vast improvement. But it still strikes me as a technology that's ripe for dramatic improvements, probably fairly soon. At which point, early adopters are likely to wish they had held off a bit.
Next, this technology isn't for everybody. You need an unobstructed view of the sky, and preferably a direct southern exposure. If you've got trees or telephone poles or a neighbor's house or a hill between your roof and the sun, solar power becomes a pipe dream pretty fast. Though surprisingly it can still work reasonably well even in places like Syracuse where the skies are often overcast and the roofs are often covered with snow. I mean, no it doesn't work so well when the roof is actually covered in snow, but that doesn't truly happen all that often for most people, or last that long.
No, the biggest issues I found with this system were retaining the charge and maintenance. Both were complex and expensive and scared me off of a $22k+ investment that might (or might not) have achieved ROI in 5-10 years. The system can't necessarily be maintained by a layman, or even by an electrician who isn't totally well-versed in solar-cell technology. So now you're beholden to one of the (relatively few) solar-power contractors whenever your system needs service or routine checkups. But the biggest challenge I saw with photovoltaic technology as it exists today occurs if you really want to go "off the grid" either temporarily or permanently.
For me, I really wanted solar power to just reduce my electric bill 99% of the time by generating power and "selling" it back to my local power company to be used as "credit" when I bought back electricity from them. If I produced more than I used, they'd actually pay me money for it. But for that other 1% of the time, I wanted solar power to keep my lights on and my electronics running during a power outage. And for that, you need some way to store your electrical charge locally so you can draw off it when the sun is down. That way, until somebody invents another one, involves batteries. Lots of them. Big ones. And they don't necessarily hold their charge all that long. A couple years isn't an unusual lifespan for these batteries, I was told. Maybe you'd get 5 years out if them if you're lucky. But as part of your regular maintenance on the system, those batteries need to be replaced when they're no longer working well. And that entails ongoing expenses I wasn't happy with.
Which is why I keep coming back to batteries. Batteries, batteries, batteries. The key to human technological evolution is going to be in how we store and release electrical power. Batteries need to get smaller, they need to hold more, they need to cost less, and they need to do all of this reliably for a long time without that annoying tendency they have of gradually losing capacity until they won't hold a charge at all. Electric cars and solar homes all need good batteries before they really come into their own. I think it'll be a great day for humanity when that happens, but I fear it's not as close as it sometimes seems.

A reflection in honor of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception
In the 1978 Superman movie, the Man of Steel arrives too late to stop Lois Lane, the woman he loves, from being hit by a boulder occasioned by a massive earthquake. The boulder crushes Lois dead even before he comes to her rescue.
Gently placing Lois's body on the ground, he flies around the planet Earth so fast—opposite its natural spinning—that he reverses the Earth's rotation in order to turn back time up until the point where he could buy more time to prevent the boulder from falling on Lois.
His estimation worked. She regained her life. Better yet, he prevented her from getting killed.
I am not here to argue for the plausibility of that scene. It would be a futile exercise. After all, Superman is just a mere figment of our imagination.
What is interesting is that in this novena, we are preparing ourselves to understand an event which is not just fictional. In fact, it is not just something factual for it embodies a profound truth which is bigger than life itself.
But if we think about it, its story line can surpass the literary genius behind the most enduring fairy tale or a bio-epic of a legendary hero.
The Father, who is the Divine Author, must have known this from the very start. Hence, instead of inspiring theologians to assemble a theological treatise that will explain the inexplicable, He Himself crafted a superb story, nay, a reality.
The basic plot of this history of salvation is this: In order for the Son of Man to have a foothold in a place dominated by sin, a woman free from sin has to be conceived in order to become a worthy vessel of His spotless Son.
Some might want to call it fantasy. How on earth can someone escape the grip of the devil and clutches of sin?
God did it. Not only because He had the Power. But more importantly because His love is eternal.
Our Homiletics professor conceded that if the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, the shortest distance between a truth and our hearts is, a story.
That must be the reason why we don't only have a single account of Jesus' life, we have four different versions of it.
That must be the reason why St. John Bosco neatly packaged his the call he received from Above to save the young souls through a story he called "Dream at nine."
That must be the reason why we love reading the life stories of how ordinary people could readily say yes to the challenge of holiness.
I can go on and on and on. But my point is this: knowing the story of Mary should challenge us not just to tell her story.
God, who has revealed Himself to us and has made His presence so intimately felt, should lead us, like the Blessed Mother, to weave our lives into the beautiful story of God's intervention in the history of mankind.

I, Tom Schuckman, personally advised most of my friends about 7 years ago to stop funding their IRA's, 401K's, UGMA's, and other 'paper investments' -- in favor of real, substantial, tangible investments, like precious metals, material things, autos, trucks, property away from the Sodom and Gomorrah type cities, etc., and tangible supplies for camping, etc.... spend more time with your wife and kids, teach them the bible, talents, skills, hobbies, languages, etc! I still hold to that mind set !! The small Book of James says, 'Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.' Because in the final analysis, you will have to Trust in Him for your daily bread and life, soon enough.
I told my wife this morning, that I felt cheated in the sense that we've only been married for one year.. after my past dear wife died a painful way from heart failure, etc., 2 years ago, and I had other heart breaking deaths in the family that set me in a depression that only God could drag me out of. So my wife, Terri, has been my true soul mate who also helped me recover from feeling deep sorrow, and made me feel alive again. And NOW... my trusted friends in the 'KNOW' say that the coming month of March could bring all sorts of bad news...however, it's all 'man-made', and an "Engineered [on purpose] financial and civil Melt Down of Amerika !!!" If [or when] the WH and Socialists finally get all of our guns -- then total dictatorship will follow, plus the ONE WORLD GOV'T take over, with the Anti-Christ in charge! Kind of like Nazi Germany all over again... sorry folks. I only hope and pray that I am wrong! The trouble is that the Bible says/ prophecies the same thing! We are being LIED to by most of the Media, ALL of Congress, and those who know the real truth are keeping their mouths shut for fear that they will be killed and their families. The Left [and the RINO's] are trying hard right now to 'PUSH' the Patriots into firing the "first shoot" so they can 'justify' a nation wide gun grab! So far, we are holding back our forces and taking all the vicious jabs or provocation by obama and his ilk. No one really wants a civil war, but folks can only take so much, and they will not just roll over and die for the monster, greedy, small god master Controller!!
I urge every one to get with the program TODAY, NOW, and do the deep research of being 'hood winked' and fooled to have accepted an illegal man from Kenya and his Socialist movement. The devil whispers in his ear every day, and he will never repent of his evil ways, to destroy our once great country -- that will soon be 'TOAST.' Sorry to put it this way.
The Anti-Christ and the False Prophet, are waiting in the wings, behind the curtain.
One Patriot put it like this: 'If a Christian home were broken into by some armed thugs who were bent on hurting good, honest people -- looking to rape, rob, steal and KILL, what would you do as a husband and head of the house??' If you knew your Bible... would you just stand there and "turn the other cheek" which is what Jesus told us [in one part of the bible], or exercise our GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO DEFEND AND PROTECT OUR FAMILY [also a given Right in the Bible--written in another place] ??? Duh... Common sense should tell you that! Revelation 21: 8, tells us that [Number One on the list] that the Cowards, among other evil people will be thrown into the Lake of Fire, forever! We DON'T want to be cowards! I already know what I would do. Do you?
You see, 'turning the other cheek' is what you do when someone "INSULTS you"! A "slap" is an insult. RAPE, ROBBERY AND MURDER are very different, friend/ folks! Ponder upon this...
Tom Schuckman
The proverbial "handwriting on the wall"??? It's more like a 10 story flashing sign!!! Yet most Americans walk around with their fingers up their noses oblivious/apathetic to our country's plight. How did our society become so pathetic and unpatriotic???
Over the last four years, the Obama administration has violated nearly every Article of the US Constitution and every Amendment in the Bill of Rights. They have worked to ignite racial tensions, class warfare, religious confrontations and political divisions far worse than those that led to the first American Civil War.
Over 70% of Americans oppose ObamaCare… so of course, Obama rammed ObamaCare through in an unprecedented misuse of executive power that shut out the entire legitimate legislative process, as spineless Republicans sat quietly on their hands watching it all happen. The people said "no more deficit spending…and no more raising the
debt ceiling…" so, Obama ignored the debt ceiling and ran up the federal debt by more than 60% in one term.
The ideological divide in America is not only deeper than ever in history, it is now galvanized. With the leftist gun grab underway, the moment when push comes to shove is fast approaching.
Since his second stolen election, Obama and his Marxist minions are doing all they can to ignite civil disobedience from more than half of the nation's population. But are the new American Marxists pushing for much more than civil disobedience?
As Obama attempts to disarm law-abiding Citizens despite Second Amendment rights, he is arming known terrorists all over the globe. His mindless minions are insulting more than 70% of Americans and threatening to "kick their asses again" on the basis that most Americans still believe in those dusty old concepts recorded in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

If you hadn't noticed that you woke up in pre-world war Germany yet, it's only because your city has not yet experienced Obama's Urban Warfare Training of the US Military.

Theme: MADE IN CHINA. Nine items that were invented in CHINA - the unifier - over the course of millenia are arranged in perfect symmetry.
1. *Rock conqueror? : PAPER. Rock-PAPER- scissors game. Oh - and that stuff you write letters on.
10. *Soy milk brand : SILK. I'll pass on the soy milk, thank you. But high quality fabric made from the cocoon fiber of silk worms is OK by me.
17. *Dental checkup freebie : TOOTHBRUSH. I always take a red one.
28. *Wile E. Coyote buy : GUNPOWDER. Ka-Boom stuff.
35. *Gets creative : NOODLES. I usually think of NOODLING as thinking deeply on a challenging subject, but OK.
39. *Extent : COMPASS. Not the most obvious sense of this word. Is it within the COMPASS of your vocabulary?
45. *Flashy display : FIREWORKS. Clever clue, and a carefully NOODLED use for GUNPOWDER.
59. *Beginner's piano piece : CHOPSTICKS. The eating utensils used in Chinese restaurants that can be tricky to use if you don't know how to hold them.
64. *Forged check : KITE. We had a discussion of check-kiting recently. I will defer to the resident legal staff. But the other meaning is a cloth or paper form that flies in the wind on the end of a string.
And the unifier -- 66. It celebrates National Day on October 1 (and it's where the answers to starred clues were invented) : CHINA
Wow - this is some dense themage in another virtuoso technical masterpiece by our dynamic duo. Note that only some of the theme answers have double meanings. Symmetrical pairings GUN POWDER - FIREWORKS and TOOTHPICK - CHPSTICKS add to the impressive fun. Would you make a KITE out of SILK? If so, add that one in, too. And PAPER plates for CHINA?!?
Hi gang, JazzBumpa here. C. C. is rightfully very proud of the rich heritage and culture of her original homeland, and shows them off here to good effect. Let's explore the rest of this puzzle.
6. Ilk : TYPE. Categories
14. Diminish, as trust : ERODE. A virtual wearing away.
15. Court target : HOOP. Basketball
16. Singer with the platinum 1992 album "The Celts" : ENYA. Eithne Patricia Ní Bhraonáin is a fine lass from County Donegal. Potential ear worm.
19. Hungarian spa city : EGER. I did not know that, sad to say. But I do know of the famous, full-bodied red wine from the surrounding region, EGRI Bikavér - Bull's Blood of Eger.
20. "30 Rock" is loosely based on it, briefly : SNL. Saturday Night Live. Having never watched 30 Rock, I didn't know that either.
21. Georgia campus : EMORY. Pretty frequent crossword grid campus, as well.
22. Transparent personality? : GHOST. This one gave me eyestrain and brainstrain.
23. Webber's partner : PAINE. PAINE, Webber & Co. was an asset management firm founded in Boston in 1880, now a part of trans-national mega-corporation UBS AG, headquartered in Switzerland.
25. Are proper for : BEFIT
32. Napoleon, before seeing Elba? : ABLE. From the palindrome that everyone knows.
33. Its symbol is "$" : PESO. And it's country of origin is the United States of Mexico.
34. West Bank initials : PLO. Palestine Liberation Organization
41. "Alice" spinoff : FLO. Everyone remembers her famous quote, right?
42. Gives goose bumps, maybe : AWES. Like Papa Grande shutting down the Indians for his 49th straight save this year.
44. Pennsylvania port : ERIE. On Cleveland and Toledo's Lake of the same name.
48. Umbrella brand : TOTES. Boots, too.
49. Idiot : LUNK. As in LUNKhead, or "Ya big LUNK!"
50. Finalize, as a comic strip : INK IN. Converting a sketch to the final drawing. Now you can do it electronically.
52. Pub drinks : SWIGS. This one fooled me. I was looking for the actual drinks, not the action of drinking them.

55. Sch. with a Phoenix campus : ASU. Arizona State University, home of the Sun Devils.
58. Comic book buyer of old? : DIME. Can't go along with this. As a kid, I was the buyer of many comic books -- with my dimes.
61. Analogous : AKIN.
62. Forceful takeover : COUP.
63. John who played Gomez Addams : ASTIN. Father of Sean Astin who played Samwise Gamgee in the Lord of the Rings.

13. Go-__ : KART.
18. ASCAP rival : BMI. Broadcast Music Incorporated collects license fees from businesses that use music, which it distributes as royalties to songwriters.

I'm getting worn out. Hope has been getting up around 6:00 every morning, sometimes earlier, for over a month now. Maybe longer even. I've lost track. All I know is it is damn early and I'm getting worn out. Especially since I don't get to bed early enough to make up the lost hours on the morning end.
She doesn't exactly wake up delicately for a non-morning person like me. She wakes up like a shot screaming MUMMY over and over and over. If John goes in instead, she completely flips out and and continues to flip out for the following 15 minutes or so. Or as long as it takes to get her in front of Dora. In other words, I almost always go in because it really isn't worth waking up everyone else.
I remember that Emily was an early riser at the same age but with me going to the office at the time it didn't really matter that much. Also, she let John get her without as much protest as Hope.
I sure hope it comes to an end soon because seeing the sunrise every morning is getting a bit played.
