Britain: 'This isn't the country I grew up in. No one speaks a word of English these days,' says Dame Shirley Bassey
Few would recognise this rather slight figure as the vertiginously high-heeled, big-bosomed diva of Big Spender or Diamonds Are Forever, but this may be no bad thing. She is safe enough here within the portrait-lined walls of Cliveden House in Berkshire, the sort of hotel where the staff remember she is a Dame Commander of the British Empire. But a recent brush with the criminal classes has left her shaken. "It was all rather nerve-racking," she says. "I was Christmas shopping in Knightsbridge with my daughter Sharon. We'd been into Harvey Nichols to find some presents. "Somebody must have seen all the money and cards when I opened my bag to pay and followed me. I felt a bump but nothing more than that. And when I opened my bag at the next shop, there was no purse."
It seems unremarkable, perhaps. Pickpockets are a fact of life in most big European cities, and ever more so in London. But to someone used to the security of life in Monte Carlo - the ritzy, casino-laden side of Monaco - it was a genuine shock. "The worst of it is the worry," she says. "My cards can be cancelled but I worry who has my details or a picture of me. They took my residence card for Monaco."
She spends most of her time in the principality these days and, as she explains in her first interview for two years, the comparison with the life she sees back here is far from flattering. "This isn't England any more - at least it is not the country I remember growing up in," she says. "You don't hear English spoken here. You read about terrible things - not just drugs but all the killings. "When you live in a safe place like Monte Carlo, you can walk home at any time of the night and you don't have to worry. I don't feel at risk there. If I drive myself, I can leave the car doors unlocked. I wouldn't do that in London."
But at Christmas, not even the balmy warmth of the Mediterranean will keep her from flying over to be with her daughter Sharon and partner Des, and the rest of the family. Her business interests, too, are based in London and Shirley is at pains to say that she has not rejected Britain. However, the rising sense of physical danger here is not the only change to worry her. When the conversation comes to the unstoppable spread of reality television, she becomes animated, sitting forward on a silk chair in the Cliveden library for a heartfelt denunciation of what now passes for showbusiness.
"It seems there's no place for people with talent any more," she expostulates. "You have only to look at television to see that. And if people do have any talent, they get voted out of the shows. It's disgusting. It's an abuse. It seems that people want to be famous for doing nothing - or drinking. "It was totally different when I was breaking into the business. I learned by standing in the wings and watching established acts on stage. Today, no one seems to have any training. "I'm always being asked if I watch The X Factor and I do from time to time. I know it makes for great TV and that Simon Cowell has a real gift. "But it is a crying shame that kids who ought to have a great future are being ignored. "Another difference is that I was well looked after. Who advised Rhydian to have that hair? I don't call that looking after him."
Shirley had to scrap for her breaks. Raised by a lone mother in the Tiger Bay area of Cardiff, she was repeatedly dismissed until that extraordinary voice finally won over the record labels. By the early Sixties she had a string of hits and an EMI recording contract. Then, in 1964, she found international fame with the title song of Goldfinger, the Bond film. "If hard work and talent can't get you anywhere, what hope is there?" she asks, warming to the theme. "Someone like Tallulah Rendell, a young singer at my 70th party last Sunday, she's got a wonderful voice. "What can she do to get a chance? Why should you have to wear a dress slashed to your backside to get recognised alongside all these no-talent-nothings out there? "I'm for old-fashioned glamour. There's not enough of it. Glamour has gone out of our lives. It's very sad."
Official censorship breeds mistrust of officialdom
In 2003, the local council in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire refused to show an A4 poster for a Christmas carol service in the local library, because it might constitute a political or religious message. The same year, the Red Cross banned nativity decorations from its British shops because it stated that an alignment to a particular religion could `compromise our ability to work in conflict situations around the world'. In 2006, a survey of 428 firms in Manchester found that 77 per cent of employers said they were banning decorations because they were worried about offending other faiths (2). In all these cases, the ban was about preventing possible harm, rather than responding to actual complaints.
It is stories like these that create suspicion that things are being heavily regulated. Of course, in reality, people in authority today rarely have the luxury to monitor everything they encounter. Most decisions are made defensively and in a knee-jerk fashion, rather than according to some sinister conspiracy plan. But the end result is a surge in urban myths which feed upon existing reality.
While the stories I have mentioned so far (and there are many more) were all reported in reputable papers, there are also plenty of emails circulating from `unofficial sources'. These are less reliable, but they feed our suspicion that this is `what you don't hear from those in charge'. The other day I received an email about how Royal Mail staff have been told only to offer their Christmas stamps (showing religious images of angels and the Madonna and Child) to those who asked explicitly for them over the counter. While a quick scan of the Royal Mail website shows that these stamps do indeed exist, there is probably no other way to test this story than to walk into a post office and see what happens.
The point about rumours is that they feed off a broader suspicion and distrust of `official sources'. We don't have to experience things firsthand to believe them. When I was conducting interviews with residents in the town of Oldham in the north-west of England last year, I kept hearing a claim that the council had banned the St George's flag (the flag of England). I casually asked various council staff about it but none of them could tell me for certain whether it had actually happened or not. One of them suggested that it might have been for `health-and-safety reasons'. Another guessed it might have been out of sensitivity to local ethnic groups and concerns about the presence in the area of the far-right British National Party (BNP). When I asked local people about it - Asian and white - many felt that this sort of decision was `typical' of the council. Crucially, it was not important whether the flag was actually banned or not, but that it was seen as entirely believable.
Official anti-racism has made cultural symbols and language so politicised that the public is bound to think that festivals, flags and images are being `managed' on their behalf. In March 2002, Oldham council publicised its decision to fly the Union Jack flag from the Civic Centre, as a way to reclaim it as a symbol from the extreme right. It also stated it would fly the Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi flags for the duration of official visits from those countries. The authorities were paying attention to cultural images and using them to engineer attitudes.
The corollary to that, of course, is that language and images are not only promoted but also banned if they are seen to be a threat to community relations. We believe that official sources aren't telling us the truth because, ultimately, we feel that they don't trust us to make our own minds up about what see and hear.
In the 2001 local elections in Oldham, when the BNP gained its strongest electoral result in the UK in over a decade, the council censored all political parties from speaking on election night in order to prevent the BNP from talking to the electorate. In September 2001, the home secretary banned all public marches in Oldham for two months on grounds of `safety'. Likewise, Ted Cantle, in his report into the 2001 riots in the north-west, pointed out that there were complaints from the public about the police's over-zealous restrictions on political marches in the town against racism, and festivals to celebrate cultural diversity. Returning to the town in 2006, Cantle noted that despite all the diversity training and race equality guidelines, people in Oldham `wanted to ask questions around faith and culture, but were afraid to do so because it might be thought "politically incorrect"' (3).
In such a climate, where people are not expressing their views openly, rumours surge. In a 2001 US-based study, Fine and Turner argue that race rumours emerge as an expression of angst and suspicion when more public channels are censored or closed to certain opinions: `What happens when we dare not speak these beliefs? What happens when we deny - to ourselves and to others - that we hold them because we have come to accept that they are morally illegitimate? We believe that two responses are common. First, we become ashamed; we withdraw from dialogue. Second, following from this, we become too willing to accept claims of "actual happenings" that support these hidden beliefs.' (4)
The most recent high-profile example of a race rumour in Britain was in Lozells, Birmingham in 2006, when local Asian and black youths clashed on the streets. The riot was triggered by a story of a black girl having been gangraped by a group of Asian men. While the allegation lacked substance, and no witnesses or victim ever officially came forward, the story gained a life of its own on the airwaves of local community radio stations, like Hot FM and Sting FM, whose djs called for large-scale protests.
These unofficial channels picked up on local suspicions that the authorities always treated one group better than another and some people always got their way - a feeling probably compounded by the competitive dynamic of local community politics and the stress on difference in official local policies. Likewise, in his study of south-east London, the sociologist Roger Hewitt described how the media demonisation of white residents in the area following the murder of the young black youth Stephen Lawrence led to a `white backlash'. He describes how racism was `tucked away' amongst the politically powerless white working classes, who could not publicly object to the way in which they were being depicted. Suspicion grew through neighbourhood talk, rumour, narrative and counter-narrative. The authorities' tactics to silence these views by `scary and oblique references' to the BNP ended up reinforcing the sense of shame people felt, and further driving these views underground without proper scrutiny.
All of this suggests that the backlash against `political correctness gone mad' is not simply about a surge in racism or bigotry amongst the public against other groups (although it certainly doesn't help community relations in places like Lozells). There is also another factor at work here: a large number of people quite rightly resent the feeling that they are being `managed'. We indulge in the collective rolling of the eyeballs at political correctness gone mad because it allows us to momentarily express our irritation with officious policies. Perhaps next year, when junior officials think about how not to cause offence, they would be wise to think a bit more carefully about not insulting the public first.
NHS "Target" insanity
Targets intended to cut long waits in hospital Accident and Emergency units have cost the NHS in England 2 billion pounds over the past five years, an assessment of healthcare information has concluded.
The extra costs come from patients who are in danger of having to wait more than four hours in A&E – the target limit – and are admitted to hospital "just in case". Many are later discharged the same day, suggesting they had no real need to be admitted, with today – Christmas Eve – having the highest proportion of patients sent out on the day of admission.
Primary care trusts have to pay as much as 1,000 pounds per admission, compared with about £100 for a patient treated in A&E. So the costs of admitting a patient – even for less than a day – are large. Data collected by the CHKS Group, an independent provider of healthcare information, suggest that over the past five years, about two million extra patients were admitted to hospital through A&E units in England. But in Scotland and Northern Ireland, which do not have the four-hour target, there has been no increase in admissions. In Wales, which implemented the target later, the rise was delayed, but began to appear in 2005.
Dr Paul Robinson, Head of Market Intelligence at CHKS, said: "There is no obvious clinical reason why growth in emergency admissions should differ between countries in the UK. However, the A&E target in England has clearly had an impact and potentially cost the taxpayer more than 2 billion. "It is only England that showed this increase, and it is difficult to see why other places did not, unless the A&E targets were the cause. "There are some other possible explanations, including changes to out-of-hours care, and NHS Direct. But a large proportion of the increase must be due to the target. It's another example of how targets that are good in principle can have unexpected effects".
The A&E target was introduced in the NHS Plan of 2000 and came fully into force in England at the end of 2004. It charges hospitals with ensuring that patients attending A&E departments should be admitted, transferred or discharged within four hours. A hospital is deemed to have met the target if 98 per cent of patients are dealt with within four hours. Studies have shown that the target causes a huge flurry of activity as the four-hour wait nears its end, with a substantial proportion of patients being dealt with in the last 20 minutes.
Between 2002 and 2006 emergency admissions to English hopsitals rose by 20 per cent, a total increase of 720,000 a year. Admissions through A&E accounted for 37 per cent of this increase. CHKS analysis of NHS data shows that more than a quarter of emergency admissions are discharged the same day. The majority of these are patients admitted through A&E. CHKS data shows that "same day" discharges after admission through A&E rose by 65 per cent between 2001 and 2005, when the target was being introduced in England.
Each week, Friday is the peak day for patients to be discharged on the same day they are admitted. But Christmas Eve is a Friday writ large. People prefer not to be admitted for Christmas and doctors prefer to keep them out of hospital, Dr Robinson said. But to discharge so many more on Christmas Eve – 8 to 10 per cent more than on an average day – implies a change in discharge criteria. One reason, he suggests, could be "poor medicine and rushing through the workload on the day" but there is no evidence for this in increased readmission rates. The numbers readmitted within 14 to 28 days are very similar to those discharged on any other day.
The increase in admission through A&E could have another explanation, apart from the four-hour target. To admit more patients is greatly in the financial interests of hospitals because under payment by results they get paid much more. Using the system in this way is called "gaming" within the NHS and is frowned upon. But trusts have been under such pressure to balance their books that some degree of gaming cannot be ruled out. Dr Robinson said: "There is the potential for that, but I wouldn't see it as the main motivator."
In a study published earlier this year by Cass Business School, City University, London, Les Mayhew and David Smith said that payment by results could have encouraged some trusts to "push patients through A&E even more quickly so benefiting from the higher inpatient tariff as compared to A&E tariffs. "The possibility of perverse incentives such as these was not the original aim behind the introduction of A&E targets, which were primarily a response to patients' concerns, and may have encouraged the manipulation of data," they said.

Alive and Well (Far Flung Records)
Big Little Lions, the cross-border musical partnership of Helen Austin and Paul Otten, have produced a timely selection of songs that capture the troubling times we are in, but with at least a little hope for the future.
Mostly upbeat, and pop-infused, with folky gang vocals and hand clapping/foot stomping cues, the songs on Alive and Well feel big. The layers of harmonies call to mind bigger folk acts suchg as The Lumineers, or The Head and the Heart.
The album begins with an anthem about finding your people, your tribe, to help you be your best self. It's a song that could easily be the singalong anthem of a summer of road trips and festivals.
Politics finds its way into much of the album, the lyrics touching on more serious topics while the pop edge of the songs keeps you feeling fine.The haunting Unicorn asks us to "wake me when the word is sober / tell me when this show is over"—lamenting the state of things, the rarity of human connection, and indeed, simple humanity.
It's a theme we also see in the nostalgia of Static, reminiscing about just "hanging around" as children and teens. All in all, Alive and Well is a wonderful and cohesive album from two already award-winning songwriters. Expect more of the same recognition for this one.

So, I have been searching for "the one" for a while now. While looking through a wedding magazine today I found this amazing dress, but of course it didn't say who the designer is (but now I want it more since I have to struggle to find it, lol)
Anyone know who the designer is? I'm usually pretty good at identifying, but I'm stumped here. Why do magazines do this to us!!

I cannot get over how strong the holo is in this polish and how utterly smooth it is, even without a top coat!
Extra tidibits: I used Mary Kay's base/top coat as a base. I did not notice any staining from this color when I removed it after wearing for four days.

The film Absolutely Anything staring Simon Pegg looks good at first sight, with a well known cast including, Kate Beckinsale, Robin Williams, Terry Gilliam, John Cleese, Joanna Lumley, Eric Idel, Eddy Izzard, Terry Jones, and Sanjeeve Bhaskar, it should be a non stop riot of laughs. Sadly it's not.
For a start the Monty Pyton fans only get to see Terry Jones, and thats briefly, the rest of Python are just the voices of the CGI aliens. Joanna Lumley is again more a cameo role, while Robin Williams is the voice of a dog.
Secondly the plot is hardly original, think Bruce Almighty and you've seen it before.
You see what happens is aliens give teacher and looser Neil (Simon Pegg) the power to do anything simply by waving his hand and saying it. The plot revolves around him making mistakes with the power (like killing an entire class at his school), and trying to get the girl of his dreams.... Sounding familiar now?
While the film isn't actually bad it's not great either, Pegg seems to be on a bit of a downward spiral since his great films like Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead, now most of his roles are supporting in films like Star Trek, or Mission Impossible. That said it's better than the pretty terrible A Fantastic fear of Everything, In my opinion his worst film.
Waynes Rating 5/10 Worth a watch if your a Pegg fan but don't expect to burst a kidney laughing.

Background and Objective: Infertility is a stressful experience for women which require high levels of emotional adjustment. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between attachment styles and ego-strength with adjustment to infertility in women.
Materials and Methods: The design of the present study was descriptive. A total number of 346 women referring to infertility clinic of Valie-asr Reproductive Health Research Centre (Tehran Imam Khomeini Hospital) participated in the study. Data was collected via demographic information questionnaire, Adult Attachment Inventory (AAI), Ego-Strength Scale (ESS) and Adjustment to Illness Scale (AIS).
Results: There were significant positive correlation between secure attachment style and adjustment to infertility (r=0.12, p<0/05) and significant negative correlation between adjustment to infertility and avoidant attachment style (r=-0.21, p<0/01) and ambivalent attachment style (r=-0.37, p<0.01). There were also significant positive correlation between ego-strength and adjustment to infertility (r=0.41, p<0.01). Many of the treatments also had significant negative correlation with adjustment to infertility (r= -0.35, p<0.01). In regression analysis, ego-strength, ambivalent attachment style and number of the treatments predicted 35 percent of the variance of adjustment to infertility.
Conclusion: These results can be helpful in identifying the high risk patients and planning psychological interventions.
Key words: Infertility, Attachment, Ego-strength, Adjustment
Conflict of interest: None declared.
Funding: No funding was received for this study.
Ethical approval: The Ethics committee of the faculty of educational sciences and psychology of University of Tehran approved this study.

E...what more can ya say? this kid seeks approval...and sugar.
Melanie, after much convincing that it was all right to make a mess...that's what you get when you have a white glove father and a mother who is hyper. funny how much hair she had at one also..but hers was quite a bit darker than Molly's. notice this high chair that all three of the old kids sat in for their cake? My mom still has this and we still use it...we have retired it from first birthday glory though...
awww, whatta sweet boy...so trusting.
and of course...Molly. pesky little muffinhead...
Loving cousin Tory mentioned that she had not seen the other 4 kids on their first birthdays to know if kids just soak all the birthday attention up...so this one's for you, dear. It is fun to compare all 5 kids at their first birthday parties...to see their similarities and differences...Mel and Mol really are quite different in my opinion.
I had forgotten, also, how chubby wubby Levi was at his first birthday. That kid has come so far...he was just starting to crawl at one year...and didn't walk till 18 months! and just the complete trust that shows up on his face, makes me want to cry (in a good way)! He was always so hesitant and still is to this day. But he is so bright in so many unexpected ways...he has a marvelous memory, and quite the musical ear...so it will be quite interesting to see where this takes him...I pray we hone his skills the right way.
In looking at their little first birthday pics, it's funny how much these kids are still so much the same...Will is still a neatnik, reserved, yet charming. E is the funny guy, how can I make you laugh, how messy can I really be? Sweet to boot. To Mel, she was not impressed with having to stick her hands in the little dolly cake we got her...all that yellowed shortening? ew...really? she takes some coaxing...and reminding...but once she gets going, she gets GOING...she is sheer girliness...and as I mentioned above in regards to Levi...constant reassurance, approval...hugs and love (E. is this way too)
I guess I should get going for this day...see what my kids are up to...Will has a "coach" meeting at Mt. P today...he is helping out with the soccer camp next week! He's quite excited. But in the meantime, hope you have a lovely summer day! Get out there and enjoy ya some humidity, would ya?
Peace out!

Weather: Great American Eclipse weather forecast
- Author: Adam Floyd Aug 21, 2017,
Aug 21, 2017, 2:20
The National Weather Service is calling for mostly sunny conditions in the Genesee Valley. with a high near 88 degrees.
Moore says the daytime on Tuesday wouldn't have changed much from Monday, with partly sunny skies and a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, favoring afternoon hours.
In the central USA, a few clouds and some scattered showers could mar the view in portions of Nebraska and Missouri, but a complete washout isn't likely.
Over the interior Southwest, the timing of the eclipse will help in terms of cloud cover, AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist John Feerick said.
Madras, the premier viewing spot in OR according to solar experts, is expected to have clear skies and a high of 88.
Showers and thunderstorms is possible from the southern Appalachians to the southern Atlantic coast.More news: Trump's favorability rating falls in three key states he won in 2016
Temperatures should fall a few degrees as the moon obscures the sun, the weather service said, then rebound after the sun re-emerges. "The shadow of the moon will still darken the sky", said Dave Jones, founder and CEO of StormCenter Communications, whose group is helping states in the path of the eclipse prepare for the event.
Idaho: Mostly clear skies are expected and outside temperature will be mainly in the 50's and go up to the early 60's in some areas. When blocked, even partially, the short wave radiation produced by the sun will not be felt, Adams said.
The National Weather Service also is optimistic about good viewing from St. Louis to Nashville.
Some thin, high-level clouds may be present over the interior Southwest for the partial eclipse.
Beatty said bluntly, "if it's raining, it'll still get dark too - but I can't think of anything more depressing". The eclipse is expected to be visible locally from 12:59 p.m.to 3:52 p.m.

For a fee, Connie Casey, who owns a company called Chimparty, will show up at your party with a baby chimp. She's also in the business of breeding and selling chimpanzees as pets. 14 years ago, she bred and sold Travis, the now-infamous chimp that mauled a woman in Connecticut in February.
To document the business of how chimps are bred and sold, in March 2009 INSIDE EDITION set up a house in St. Louis with hidden cameras. The main attraction at the party is a baby chimp named Michaela. The 9-month-old, wearing a diaper and baby outfit, has been hired to entertain the guests. Feeding from a bottle, clinging to a blanket and surrounded by strangers, she nervously rocks back and forth.
INSIDE EDITION's Paul Boyd took Casey aside to ask if she still sells baby chimps, which is legal in Missouri. She says the price a baby chimp could garner is approximately $65,000. "65,000 because they're an endangered species, that's just the cost of a baby," she says.
Casey also cautioned that owning a chimp is a major commitment. "They're wonderful and they're amazing when they're little. Everyone thinks they want one. They get big and they get strong. It's a lot more work than most people can ever imagine."
Then she invited INSIDE EDITION's Boyd, who she still thinks is a prospective buyer, to tour her compound of 26 chimps and a menagerie of other animals outside St. Louis.
She boasts that some of her chimps are TV and movie stars. One of her chimps appeared on Hulk Hogan's reality show, Hogan Knows Best. Another was featured in last summer's feature film Speed Racer.

Premier Pet Resort & Day Spa 1 ReviewsI compared in the Cedar Park/Round Rock area....
For the price, Premier offers much better quality service, Lisa and the other groomers are top-notch, and for the cost this place offers a more extensive bath than anyone else in the area, the boarding facility is very nice and very clean.
Lucys Doggy Daycare and Spa 3 ReviewsLucy's self serve dog wash is a life saver!!
During the summer months, I bathe my dog in the back yard but during the winter, it is often too cold to bathe him outside. With that said, I would put my Golden Retriever in the shower with me. Once he got out of the shower, he would roll all over the floor and run all over the house shaking himself off.... As funny as it was to watch, my wife was not very happy. I drove by Lucy's the other day and recieved a tour. They offer many great services but the self serve dog wash is what I love. They have elevated tubs, warm water and all of the supplies you need to bath your dog including a warm air dryer (Much better than my wifes blow dryer!) They even helped me clip his nails. I tried...

The placement of last night's Great Woods Phish show, sandwiched between stops in Cincinnati and upstate New York's Darien, had some fans dubbing the only scheduled New England show of 2011 as this year's "skipper" show and had hopes high for a show worth remembering.
Rolling up from the Hartford area, I entered last night's show knowing that my sixth show would be my only glimpse of Phish this summer and fall, so long as they hold true to their promise of no more scheduled concerts until possibly the winter.
Last night's Phish represented a continuation of what 2011 has seemingly had to offer most nights: a band playing better than it has ever been playing since its return in 2009 and setlists dipped in musical creativity that are carried on by execution of performance to win fans over.
The shed slowly began to fill, with anticipation for the lights to drop growing with every fan that found his or her seat. Phish opened the show with spotless "Llama," the song I wanted to hear open my first Phish shows last summer in Hartford. From there, the group plunged into a slow and deliberate "Moma Dance" before hitting up the old reliable "Possum" that helped initiate a good and energetic mood amongst the band and the crowd.
Trey would then plunge the band into a series of covers beginning with a rendition of Talking Heads' "Cities," one of the songs I've most wanted to catch in my six shows, and while this wasn't in the same league as a few other versions of the song the band has performed in the last year, this still stellar version amped me up on reputation alone.
Following was John Lennon's "Instant Karma!," which while fun to hear and a great singalong for the crowd, wasn't my preferred choice. But still, it's a nice first set song while the sun is still trying to set itself and things have yet to get dark musically.
The highlight of set one came when Fishman began what would be a lengthy cymbal intro to "David Bowie" while Trey played kickball with a few balloons that found their way on stage. "Bowie" would be the band's first real musical slaughtering of the night. Dropping in at over 13 minutes, Trey lead the band through a nicely structured section with some really nice licks dropping into play at the 8 minute mark. Trey's play would dominate a lot of what Mansfield's "Bowie" was all about. This is a song they could play every damn night and I'd be happy.
A strange follow-up to the blistering "Bowie" was the debut of the Al Green cover "Rhymes." Unfamiliar with the song myself, I wasn't sure if it was a new Mike tune, as he lead the vocal arrangement, or a cover they so brilliant pulled out of left field. Despite this, the tune had a nice upbeat flow to it and is something I could see fitting in very well in future first sets. Trey plays the lead guitar lick with an addictive flair and it's something I want to keep hearing instead of the previously played "Instant Karma!". Mike on vocals is perfect and any other decision would have led to disaster. Instead, with the help of show MVP Page we're treated to a bluesy, soulful and very Phishy rendition of the Green tune.
A no-flub version of "The Divided Sky" helped end the set along with another nailed "Stealing Time From The Faulty Plan." It might be a crime to say I don't enjoy "Divided Sky" all that much unless I'm in person witnessing the true beauty of it all, but that's the fact of it all. When Phish nails the lengthy tune right in front of your eyes and hears, it's one of music's masterpieces. Recordings don't do this tune justice but a terrific live and in person rendition helps define what the band is all about. "Stealing Time" continues to be one of my favorite Joy tunes. Trey destroys it every single time but never has the desire to push it further in length, which is okay, because it's makes for a nice set closer just the way it is.
Set two would begin strong. The band put "Back on the Train" back in a set leader spot, the first time since 2009. And instead of opening the set with "Rock & Roll," the band dropped it into the two spot, a position it would hit a homerun with. After a blistering and high energy cover that the band has been long-known to be able to deliver, patience took over an on-fire Trey, who allowed things to progress naturally. The ensuing jam would be complex, structured and layered, with Trey providing lift off for the rest of the band.
At around the 3 minute mark of what Live Phish dubbed the "Mansfield Jam," you hear Trey enter a riff brighter than the scorching exploratory and cosmic themes explored earlier in the tune. It's beautiful, and Mike accompanies it with a few bass meatballs of his own. This is the night's highlight tune, setting off what would be a tremendous second set, and one of the best jams of 2011.
Getting dark, Trey would bring light to the Great Woods crowd, segueing into The Mango Song." Played for the first time in 2011, it was an immediate crowd pleaser as fans greeted it with cheers. More importantly, the band seriously nailed the song before heading into a fantastic version of "Bug."
In the silent space after "Bug," the Boston crowd started a "Let's Go Bruins!" chant that, while my New York Ranger fan blood hated, got a kick out of. Then when the band started playing along with the chants I cracked a smile. It was a nice touch, showing how in tune and aware this band truly is with its fans.
After the crowd got its enthusiasm for the Bruins out of the way, the band dipped into "Pebbles and Marbles." Like the previous two tunes, all four were on point again, and this was just another example of how tight Phish's playing is at the moment. They took a song they've hardly played since their return in 2009 and killed it. The pace for the song seemed amped up, quick and fast to the touch, but not rushed. Although maybe that was just me being so amped to have it dropped in the thick of my second set.
Fans will remember that "Halley's Comet" was finally given the jam it was due at night two in Bethel. Unfortunately, last night didn't produce the same. And while I was hoping for results like Bethel, I won't use the word aborted like many others. They don't need to jam every single time and I certainly don't need to hear a jam to have fun. Instead of letting the comet flow, Trey forced a segue into "Meatstick," an ultimate crowd pleaser.
The song was sublimely standard and just how I like my meatsticks – hot and fiery. Trey ripped through the solos with malice and along with Mike got his dance on during the Japanese lyrics. The only negative to the song was the fact that the half bro/half wook to my right decided it would be a good and considerate idea to do the dance with a lit cigarette in his left hand. So while I much enjoyed getting down to the meat, I had to be careful to dodge his fire.
Busting into a set-closing "Run Like an Antelope," Trey would keep the meatstick going, teasing licks from the previous tune which got the crowd even more excited than it already was. Meatstickalope, Run Like a Meatstick…whatever you want to call it, was awesome and I was thrilled to finally hear my favorite Phish song after six tries. The teases would mix through the rest of the ripping version of "Antelope."
The encore saw meatsticky-ness brought to "Suzy Greenberg" in a curfew-breaking version that brought us once again inside Page's house. The band was inspired on this one, didn't seem to care about making that 11 p.m. deadline, which was amazing to see. When Trey commanded Page to take us to his house, he did, and we were left seriously funked.
I don't know where to rank this show with others. Hell I don't know where to rank it with other shows I've been to. I prefer to judge each on its own, and this was one hell of a fun time.
The best $40 I spent was the one I dropped on the private lot. I heard all the parking lot horror stories before hand and was glad I ponied up, because the people sitting in their cars while hundreds of thousands of people crossed in front of them looked like they'd be stuck there for quite some time – not something I'd want to do by myself when I have to drive two hours home and wake up early the next morning.
Of note: when a cute parking attendant casually asks you how the show was, despite it being true, don't tell her it was the first time Phish really brought it at Great Woods in 3.0. Yeah, I overheard that.

Read: Acts 6-7
Wednesday, May 3, 2017
From the cross Jesus pleaded "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do" a sure sign of his depth of faithfulness in practicing a life of forgiveness.
This depth of faithfulness then is mirrored in Stephen who cries out "Father do not hold this against them" as he is being killed.
We read about these extreme examples of faithful forgiving and yet many of us have not had the opportunity to practice them.
But it is not only in life or death situations when we find opportunities to practice forgiveness.
When we don't forgive we allow the anger and hurt and hatred to built up so that, without a second thought, we find ourselves hurling the stones right back at the one who has injured us.
Forgiveness is the pathway to peace.
Prayer: Holy God, may the words of scripture be a song that sings throughout my day. May your love and compassion be the source of courage I need to face those who seek to harm, tear down, and destroy. Amen.

Not being a religious person, some friends joked as to why else would you want to go there. Well, there are lots of great things to do in this tiny country. One of my favorite experiences was floating (not swimming) in the Dead Sea.
Just floating around...it was shallow enough here, but even in the deeper areas, you just naturally stay afloat due to the salt.
Of course, my favorite part was seeing my friends, and letting them help me eat all of the amazing foods that Israel has to offer. Of all of my stops this summer, my favorite for food was hands down Israel. I think I put on 10 pounds here!
This is Halva, a sesame based treat. It comes in many flavors, but the original is just as yummy to me.
We did LOTS of eating this week. This is an old restaurant in Jaffa, which serves endless salads, including hummus, with your meals.
And these two angels made my day!! These are former students, but forever my kiddos!!
OK, back to sight-seeing. I covered many areas in only 6 days. The Dead Sea was on my first full day there. The next day, we went to old Jerusalem. We walked the Via Dolorosa, which is the path that Jesus walked from the first church, where he was sentenced and told to carry his cross, to the final stop - his tomb. It was an experience that I can imagine many people would be grateful to have. Here are some pictures from this walk.
Aside from this path, we also visited the Western Wall. Here, it is legend that if you write a wish on a piece of paper and put it into the cracks in the wall, it will come true. Well, I'm all for taking a chance. The worst that can happen is it doesn't come true, right? So, here is me putting in my wish. :)
After we toured around the old city, we took a taxi to a look-out point where you could see the city, with the old walls, etc. And of course, they try to get you to have your picture on a camel. We just agreed to stand behind it (for free) and get our picture.
Another religious area that we visited outside of Old Jerusalem was the Baihi Gardens in Haifa. I love big, beautifully manicured gardens and this one was definitely beautiful. Haifi is considered to be the "Israeli San Francisco" because of the hills, location along a bay, etc. It's also the third largest city in Israel. We didn't do the tour, as it didn't start for another two hours from the time we were there, and to be honest, it was just too damn hot. lol. But, we did enjoy the morning here.
We also went to Akko, which has a lot of history itself. There is a citadel there, where we were able to tour, including underground passages. Akko also has a restaurant that is known for their hummus. The restaurant is located in the market area, and people line up out the door and wait, because it is that good. We were lucky enough that we didn't have to wait long, as we got there at a good time. You only have three choices of hummus. It comes with a plate of pita and a veggie plate. That's it. Just a big bowl of hummus for lunch. Oh, I was SO FULL after that. It was the most delicious hummus though. :) Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of that.
I am a huge fan of snorkeling. There is something about hanging out in the water with the fish that just seems to natural to me. I wish I weren't so afraid of diving. I would love to do that. But, snorkeling is a good alternative for now. So, I spent two days at the Red Sea (southern Israel) by myself. It took me about 35 minutes to get through security to get there. I was already in the country! Geez. Anyway, Eilat itself is kinda shady, and not the greatest water-based city I've been to, but the coral reef there was nice and the amount of fish I saw was spectacular! I had a great day just floating around watching the fish, who often were swimming right up to you. I loved it.
I believe it was in Akko where I took the last picture I am sharing. If you know anything about Israel, you know there is a lot of tension and fighting going on, predominately religion based. With Jordan and Egypt borders, security around the entire country is extremely tight, even at malls, etc. So this picture sums it up so well, but unfortunately, many just don't work to make it better - only to be right.

In western countries, red is for danger. Red is the colour of blood, the colour of fire and the colour of passion. It is the colour used for stop signs and traffic lights. It is also the colour of Mars, the Roman god of war. Red is the colour of anger - 'I saw red!' - and redheads are believed to have fiery tempers. But in China, red is the colour of happiness.
Colours mean different things to different cultures. In the West, black is the colour of mourning, and white is traditionally worn by brides; in China and India, the colour of mourning is white. In Europe, royalty is said to be 'blue-blooded', in Malaysia, royal blood is white.
Compass colours
Among the Pueblo Indians in the United States, colours are associated with the points of the compass. East is linked with white, north with yellow, west with blue, and south with red. The Cherokees associate abstract properties as well as direction with colours: success comes from the east and is red, the north is blue and means trouble, the black west is death, and the happy south is white.
For Westerners, blue is generally a happy colour (unless you have 'the blues'); it is associated with heaven, fidelity and peace. But the strongest curse of the Yezidis of the Caucasus and Armenia, who detest blue, is: 'May you die in blue garments!'

I Wish I Had a Camera!
Yesterday we had our niece Jenna over as we do every Friday while her mom is working. It was Jenna's birthday so she brought her new Beauty and the Beast Tea set to play with. You should have seen how excited the boys were to play with it! We also had Logan's friend Lizzie over, and we all had a big tea party. It's not often that the girls outnumber the boys and that we get to do "girl things" at our house. They all had so much fun. Their friend Katie also came over later and they all designed clothes for a fashion show, then they modeled their dress-ups. Brandon had the camera unfortunately or I would have taken pictures. Lately I've been finding the boys in Brooklyn's room, playing with her doll house. They bring in the Star Wars and super hero toys to invade the house, so there is still an element of masculinity to their play, but one of these days I'll catch them off guard with a camera for future black-mail pictures!

Day 1 - Hands of Time
Had all the godkids and their parents over for New Year's supper this evening. We had a great time playing, chatting and of course eating. Since it's the first day of the year I came up with the idea of showing the passage of time through hands of different generations. The final product wasn't exactly what I had in mind but it follows the theme. The hands, from right to left, are 3 years old, 23 years old and 50 years old. Thanks to my helpful and patient models. This idea is still rolling around in my head so I may try it again. But for now this is it. Also, with a new year comes a new signature.

In the midst of January's freeze, snow, and blasting winds I'm immersed in bees and clover (not to mention the deer and rabbits over the last few weeks). This image is still in the processing stages. Like the bees, I feel like I'm going from one flower/design to another; taking a bit from this and a bit from that and developing it into something else.
