Just two months after announcing her return to rehab for postpartum depression, Hayden Panettiere was spotted in NYC. And while the actress appeared to be in good spirits, one MAJOR thing was different about her — her giant engagement ring was nowhere to be found!
Dressed in a plaid shirt, neon blue leggings, and Ugg boots, Hayden Panettiere, 26, was wearing quite a bit of clothing for roaming around New York City on July 4.

Bryce Dallas Howard Suffered a 'Wave Of Nothingness' After The Birth Of Her Son! Did You Struggle With Postpartum Despression?
'The Help' star, who is expecting her second child, is terrified she'll face the baby blues again: 'I was in a really dark place.'
Although she's glowing with pregnancy pride, Bryce Dallas Howard wasn't always so thrilled about the prospect of motherhood.

This cuddle chemical, released during sex and breastfeeding, could stop pregnant women from struggling with post-natal depression!

Taking care of twins is tiring! Ten weeks after giving birth to her two baby boys, Celine is thankful for all the help that she gets from her family, and admits she did have the baby blues.
Celine Dion waited a long time and went through a lot to have more children. But on Oct. 23, all of her emotional and physical turmoil paid off when she welcomed fraternal twins, Nelson and Eddy, with her husband Rene Angelil. Ten weeks later, she's opening up to French magazine GALA about what a tremendous joy they are – even if she's too tired to think straight and too busy to get a shower! "I didn't have these children to not take care of them, to give myself to them 200 – 300 percent," she says, crediting her mom Therese and sister Linda with pitching in to help her with "housework, cooking or doing the shopping" so that she can focus on diaper duty and feedings.
Gwyneth Paltrow On Her Battle With Postpartum Depression: 'I Felt Like A Zombie'
We think it's great that the 38-year-old is opening up about the emotional nightmare her life became after giving birth to son, Moses, now 4. "I thought it meant I was a terrible mother," says Gwyneth.
Gwyneth Paltrow talks bravely and honestly about her ordeal with postpartum depression in the February issue of Good Housekeeping. The Country Strong star found herself in the middle of a waking nightmare in the months following the birth of her second child, son Moses in 2006. "I felt like a zombie. I couldn't access my heart. I couldn't access my emotions. I couldn't connect," Gwyneth, 38, tells the magazine. "It was terrible." HollyMoms, have you suffered from postpartum depression? Can you relate?
Gwyneth Paltrow's Struggle With Postpartum Depression: 'You Just Don't Feel Like Yourself'
Gwyneth admits that her bout with postpartum depression after the birth of her son, Moses, was "debilitating and scary." Can you relate, Hollymoms?
There are many women who struggle with postpartum depression following the birth of their children and actress Gwyneth Paltrow was one of them. After she welcomed her son Moses, with husband Chris Martin, in 2006, Gwyneth suffered through a bad spell where "she didn't know what was wrong." Now, she sheds new light on her battle with the baby blues.
Exclusive Interview! Lisa Rinna Reveals: 'How I Told My Daughters About My Lip Reduction Surgery'
The mother of two and the star of the new reality show Harry Loves Lisa says she discussed her recent lip reduction surgery with her two girls: "They knew I was tired of people only seeing my lips."
Over the years, Lisa Rinna's oversize pucker has made even more headlines than her career (which boasts long-running stints on Days of Our Lives and Melrose Place). So with her recent lip-reduction surgery behind her — as well as the debut of her new reality show, Harry Loves Lisa, with husband Harry Hamlin (Wednesdays at 10 p.m. EST on TV Land) and the release of her second book, Starlit — Lisa, 47, is back to focusing on what matters most: her family. The mom of Delilah, 12, and Amelia, 9, talks with HollyBaby.com about postpartum depression and being a MILF and says she was honest with her kids about her plastic surgery. She admits, "I don't think they would ever do something like that."

Already neglecting this blog....but still trying to keep on track with my sessions. Sessions 4 and 5 were at OB again. Third session was after work, foggy and drippy, 7:30 pm. Joan was a trooper and came out with her bodyboard and fins. The waves were 3-4 and sloppy, with a strong onshore wind. Caught a few decent little rides though, and the highlight of the evening was definitely the ride that Joanie and I caught together and rode to the beach. Joan turned and started kicking for a wave, and I paddled alongside her. She didn't even realize that I was on the same wave, but I turned and started riding towards her with my hand outstretched. Squinting from the spray, she saw me coming towards her and reached out for my hand. We held on to one another and had a pretty long proned out ride all the way to the sand. Definitely a memorable session, if only for that one husband and wife ride ;)
Session 5 was the next morning. The swell picked up a bit, and was consistently pushing chest to shoulder high waves through. Only 2 other guys were out, and the weather was actually really nice. Suddenly I didn't feel well and had to call in sick. I surfed for a solid 2 hours, and caught a lot of fun rides. The waves were deceivingly good, and I was able to connect sections together for some pretty long rides, especially for OB standards. Lots of opportunities to practice my cutbacks, floaters, and snaps. Maybe I'll actually have improved by the time I get to Bali? We'll see...

I decided to recreated my home one space at a time. Today's space is my reading area in my bedroom. I did not really have a space to read other than sitting up in bed and this was too much of a bother for my husband so I decided to take this chair that has lived in the corner of our bedroom and turn it into a reading/journaling space. I didn't purchase anything new for this space just walked around my home and studio building and pulled things that I thought would fit here. I added a small stool from IKEA and placed a crocheted doily that I had in the closet and a couple of small hat boxes that had been in the kitchen. I found the lamp in my studio building and the black and white throw is a Liberty of London shawl from Target that I have had hanging in my closet for a while. I made the square throw that is in covering the seat is one that I made a few years back when I could still crochet with our my carpel tunnel making my arm blaze up in pain. The Ottoman is a vintage sewing box that I have had for a few years and found it in a local thrift store, for a steal. The Face painting is one of my original mixed media paintings and the other pieces are ones that I gleaned around the house.
Here is the inside of the vintage sewing box. I have turned it into a place that I can store my journals and a few supplies to have on hand so that I can journal before I go to bed.
Here is a few close-ups of my supplies.
I got a chance for a Michael's run today and picked up a few journaling supplies from their dollar spot. I love getting a bargain.
Please pardon the picture quality these were taken with my phone camera. I hope you all have a blessed weekend.

Flying high
|February 10, 2011
|Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized
So my vet school notification post was #600 and I didn't even notice!
Remember me talking about leaping high buildings?
Apparently my trainer and Farley had a little talk and they decided they really would make it possible for me to fly.
First up was a corner. We had never jumped a corner. We jumped the 2′ corner like it was 3′ and (always a bonus) Farley didn't buck on the landing. It was obvioulsy a day to push the envelope and so my trainer pointing me at a coop.
"What's that?" I said, stalling for time. "A coop". I decided against asking what the height was.
And so, Farley and I jumped a 2'6″ coop! We flew!
I got to jump it lots and lots of times because, of course, there was was a problem – if I even TWITCHED my upper body at the fence, Farley would swerve and dive. I had to stay way upright, "boobs on fire" blow-them-out position and then she would leap and we would fly.
***BTW a coop is a sold jump made of wood, that rounded on one side and then goes straight to the ground on the other. Or at least this one was.
Absolutely spectacular lesson. I'm super excited – my dressage is going fabulously, my jumping is fun again, and I've finally found a dressage and jumping goal that I can aspire to this year. More on that later, and possibly (this is what they call a teaser) a pic of the hair cut I gave Farley today!
One Response to Flying high
Now that coops are no problem, it's time to go foxhunting! It's sort of like endurance, only with jumps… and hounds… and (in our part of the world) coyotes. Truly a fantastic way to spend a day's ride!
Congrads on the fantastic lesson, and I love your trainer's "boobs on fire" comment. I'll have to remember that one!

Welcome to my blog, Sandie Bricker. First of all, congrats on the new release!
Thank you so much for having me, Joycie. I'm excited to be here!
Tell us a little about your latest release and maybe a smidge about the upcoming release.Sure! I'll give you a couple of back cover blurbs.
The Big 5-OH! hit the shelves on February 1st: Olivia Wallace can't remember a birthday that wasn't marked by illness, tragedy or both. And now, as she emerges victorious over cancer and approaches The Big 5-Oh, she is determined to change her course. Better late than never, right? That's what Liv believes when she leaves a snowy Ohio winter behind and runs away to Florida to regroup. Amidst a crazy cast of characters that include a dog with a lampshade collar, a rogue alligator and a flirtatious octogenarian, Liv finds the biggest birthday surprise of all … A second chance at love.
Next up, Always the Baker, Never the Bride, due out this fall: They say you can't have your cake and eat it too. But who would want a cake they couldn't eat? Just ask Emma Rae Travis about that. A baker of confections who is diabetic and can't enjoy them? When Emma meets Jackson Drake, the escapee from Corporate America who is starting a wedding destination hotel to fulfill a dream that belonged to someone else, this twosome and their crazy family ties bring new meaning to the term Family Circus. The Atlanta social scene will never be the same!
You are no stranger to publishing but is there anything special about being part of two brand new fiction lines?Well, the MOST special thing is that I've wanted to write for the inspirational market for years, and I just couldn't seem to find the right fit. Then my friends at Summerside Press pushed open the door to let me in, and Barbara Scott at Abingdon jammed her foot in there to keep it open! I'm so honored to be part of these two publishing families, both of whom have shown integrity and commitment to their lines and to their authors. I haven't experienced anything else, but I know a lot of writers! And it seems I've stepped into something really unusual.
Share with us about your writing process. Seat of pants? Plotter? Combo pac?I am a complete seat-of-my-pants, pay-as-you-go kind of writer. I'm as surprised at my twists and turns as the readers are, which is why I like to do it that way. Ultimately, my goal is to please my reader. I want them to come away from my books saying there were some surprises, some unexpected emotions, maybe even a lesson learned … and the only way to do that (for me) is to stay fresh and experience the ride along with them.
Is there a character in one of your novels that you love the best?
That would be really hard to pinpoint. There's a little piece of me in every one of the heroines. But I suppose my heart belongs to Olivia in 5-OH! because she was my voice for post-cancer life. She and I shared a battle against ovarian cancer and lived to tell about it. I remember that feeling when they told me I was cancer-free, and I sat there wondering, Hmph. What now?! Olivia takes that emotion and rides it all the way to her new life. It was very satisfying for me. Almost like therapy.
What/Who inspires you?I assume you mean in my writing? Well … LIFE inspires me. Every person I meet, every snag in the day job, every movie I see, every book I read, every funny thing my dog does. If cancer teaches you anything, it is that life is precious, and laughter (especially in the tough times) is priceless. I take my humor very seriously, Joyce! I try to live by that scripture that says a merry heart is like medicine, and I want to be a sort of doctor with a prescription pad for each of my readers. I tend to see the funny in everything. Even at the most inappropriate times, I'm sorry to report.
Pizza topping?I like the works. Pepperoni. Mushroom. Black olives. Onions. If I'm going to indulge, I'm going all the way!
A favorite movie?Narrowing it down to one is like choosing one cookie from a whole bakery filled with them! I'm a sucker for a happy ending, and for just about anything Nora Ephron, Rob Reiner or Garry Marshall does. You've Got Mail … When Harry Met Sally … Pretty Woman … Sleepless in Seattle … American President … Classics!
Favorite pie?
Pumpkin! Hands down. There is no rival.
Classical? Rock? Jazz?
I love it all. I'm a big fan of Chopin and Vivaldi, love me some classic rock, pop, jazz, country … Michael Buble makes me absolutely swoon, and I play Van Morrison, The Doors, Sheryl Crow, Bon Jovi. I also love to sing along with some of the Christian artists, like Brandon Heath, Casting Crowns and Big Daddy Weave. You name it. Music is imperative in my life. For every book I write, there is a "soundtrack" that I play to inspire me as I go. And I've found that every important event in my life has a song or a CD attached to it as well.
Okay, so you're stranded on an island. What would you miss most about civilization?
ICE. I can't live without ice. And of course there's a lot of benefit to central air and a good mattress. I know guys are drawn to women who like to camp and hike and gather. But I'd much rather spend my time in a 5-star hotel watching pay-per-view movies and munching on room service snacks. And you know they bring you as much ice as you could possibly want! You can't ignore the beauty in that.

The peas are making little pea babies. The first one was discovered on Saturday. And then there was another yesterday. How adorable!
Here are some pictures of the garden boxes. Let's pretend I did a much better job weeding before taking these photos.
Box #1 is chugging along. The spinach seems pretty happy, and the beans are REALLY happy. The cucumbers, likely victims of the dog, will be replaced with a couple of seedlings from Malmborg's. You will notice that all of the garden boxes now have a fence, which should prevent future dog-related tragedies.
Box #2, home to melons that are actually sprouting (here's to hoping for fruit, for once), some sad-looking corn, a volunteer tomato plant, and not much else. I managed to get a zucchini to sprout. The tomato seedlings that went kaput will be replaced with Amish Paste and Cherokee Purple (my favorite tomato). Please remind me next year that I am horrible at starting seeds and kill them more often than not so, please, just buy them.
Box #3 houses the "sunflower family," as my daughter calls it, along with pumpkins that are doing simply smashingly, more sad corn, and some other stuff, including brussels sprouts. I only had room for three brussels sprouts in my boxes so the other three seedlings are stuck by the also-sad rhubarb.
After a couple of very nice rainy days, the garden is about twice the size of these pictures, less than a week later.

Blessed beyond words
Three months ago I thought I'd never know anyone who felt like I did. I felt incredibly lost and alone. But within days, I was contacted by some of the sweetest hearts of God I've ever met. The Lord has allowed us to meet, in His divine way. Now, three months later, these amazing Christian mommies, who have perfect little heaven babies, have been more of an encouragment to me more than I knew possible. I woke up thinking of Holden, of course, but then I thought about all of his sweet little friends who are celebrating together today. They are with their Jesus...the One who gives us all we have to be thankful for. Their mommies have made my life better in so many ways. Thanks for the blessings, Paige, Chelsea, Holly, Erin, Mary Beth, Kelly, Lauren, Sara, Courtney, Katie and many others! Thank you ladies for the gift of your lives and how you are allowing God's perfect plans to make an eternal impact through your precious babies' lives. I'm really grateful you have the gift of writing, too! :) I opened up my blog and was uplifted!!
The Shuffields and Fannings are the kind of family you can only dream of. Chet and I are blessed to call them our family. I will write about the week here when we get home. I'm pushing my luck with this cell service. Who knows what this post looks like from my phone?
On a day I dreaded a few months ago, I can honestly say I feel very blessed, thankful and have joy. Happy Thanksgiving...probably a day we should celebrate every day.

Publishing - The Ultimate help guide to & Printing marketing and advertising
Print ads, such as tone leaflets, continue to generate earnings and build brand new income avenues for just about any business. Every business that has resulted in a business leader over the past several decades, performed therefore by utilizing essential ideas in marketing which have developed from really very humble origins. Not absolutely all advertising works, so it is very important to know how advertisements run, why some become successful and others fail, and exacltly what the advertisements should consist of to bring about the improve ROI.
The Birth of contemporary Advertising:
However, there happened to be always market suppliers through the early days of 'civilization' who would substitute the market 'crying' their own wares, it was not till the advent of the publishing push that published marketing it today came into being as we know. The price and a very simple description in the very beginning, advertising was nothing more than a single line of copy in the newspaper that perhaps listed the product. Among scholars, it really is presented that this type printed advertising initially appeared someplace in the second part of the seventeenth century. As times continued, and also as the technology of publishing advanced, color was actually extra and at some true point easy visuals turned into photographic imagery.
For the next around 200 ages published marketing and advertising remained essentially the exact same. a single line of content|line that is single of} or perhaps a little block of text was actually all of that buyers are likely to read within their local forms. That is until Thomas Barratt, exactly who hitched in to the group of the well-known Pears Soap kingdom, decided to begin an aggressive advertising campaign promoting their product for the soaring middle class just who ultimately had purchasing electricity. The elite who could afford an expensive, handcrafted scented soap that was suitable for their ivory complexions in the beginning, Pears Soap had been marketed to a small portion of the population. Now that the operating middle class had been a feasible market, and knowing in order to keep his family business afloat, Barratt set about formulating a marketing strategy that would reach the masses that he had to 'reach' them. They refurbished their own creation lines to make Pears Soap affordable with the typical customer and set about developing an aggressive strategy to get to that demographic. Thomas Barratt is famous for his cherubic little ones within the Pears Soap advertising, some of which we however identify to this day that is very. Caused by his intense advertisements campaigns and use that is innovative of, he's frequently regarded as the "Father of contemporary Advertising."
During WWI, to offset the climbing bills of advertising, the philosophy of making a necessity was actually introduced into the people. Companies begain creating "perceived goals." All of the strategies which are now tried and tested advertising methodologies, were melded together and distributed to consumers for the first time. The others was history.
The 3 key elements of printing marketing become:
1. get to the maximum number of prospective customers from the cost that is lowest possible
2. Design aesthetically satisfying or artwork that is response-driving
3. Create a need for the product/service and will be offering "irresistable" positive points to consumers
Today's flyer printing and marketing however focuses on these key procedures, which were shown to work using decades well worth of studies. Engineering, merchandise, and treatments change over time, however, real human wants and feedback criteria remain largely similar over the years.
Why don't we set records to operate to visualize the success of the 3 tips. For instance, consider hamburger King and McDonald's. They control the fast-food marketplace for their particular specific niche and they got here by reaching a market that is huge marketing that was eye-catching and created a need. During the latter half of the 20th century trade got thriving and also the ordinary group was live lives in the rapid way. Both companies capitalized on this subject environment that is fast-paced utilizing advertising which were attractive to the eye, while also playing on the need which they comprise promoting. The message is simple, "you are important." Simply put, "you deserve to website link do factors on your own and take time away from your lifestyle that will be hectic.
McDonald's however uses the 'Golden Arches' whicht represent a place where life is beautiful and a cry that is far the frantic existence that individuals is forced to endure to create ends see. "You are entitled to some slack these days at McDonald's. It is done by us all for you personally." Their own advertising that is impressive strategy a seed from inside the minds of people who they deserve to take some slack and allowed some body dominate at least one of their wikipedia reference everyday jobs - cooking.
The same hold's correct making use of online strategy utilized by Burger master. "Have it your way!" The information staying, you response to a boss, you answer to your children and you are clearly bogged lower with duties, so now it's time to perform what you check that want for a change. You have earned to own it 'your way,' and, without a doubt, because you must certanly be addressed like a king/queen, there was a message that is subliminal the well-known BK top.

Happy Valentines Day!
When I got these new Blue Zircon Swarovski hearts I could not WAIT to make something with them. I just knew that the fist thing I made with them had to be something for my Industrial Elegance line. As I said in earlier posts the black rings in this set are retaining rings from Home Depot (sometimes called "C" rings) and they are used in machinery to help keep pins from sliding out. I think they are put to much better use in jewelry!
I used three different sized retaining rings (top: 1/4" middle: 5/16" bottom: 1/2") and strung them all together with 4mm gunmetal jump rings then I put 4mm blue zircon bicones in the top two rings and in the bottom one I used a 6mm bicone then I finished the whole thing off with the 10mm blue zircon ab Swarovski heart. These crystals are a very vivid blue green color, kind of like super charged aquamarine and they really stand out against the black of the retaining rings. they are on gunmetal hooks and the whole earring from hook to the bottom of the heart is 2 inches. This set has an almost liquid look to it, the earrings will sway with every subtle movement of your head setting off the sparkle of the crystals... These would look beautiful on YOU! lol
As always, if you would like to own these earrings or would like the see the actual listing simply click on any of the pictures to be taken to the Etsy listing. If you like them but would like to see them in a different color please don't hesitate to contact me!

Game Updates

A Death Foreordained and Engineer have both been updated to fix a few bugs. Shortest blog post ever.
Industry Employees Need to Shut Up About Used Games
March 9, 2009
There has recently been a flurry of activity in the used games sector, as it has been announced that Amazon, Best Buy, and Toys R us will all be offering some sort of used game program. Used games, as anyone who is familiar with the industry knows, are a point of controversy right now, as Gamestop is making a mint off having a virtual monopoly over the used game business. There is a lot of money here, and it seems that some other big players are stepping up to the plate in an attempt to cash in, as well.
Now, of course publishers and developers have a common enemy here, as the used market is a direct competitor to the standard retail market, the main revenue stream for most AAA games. Take-Two has already expressed discontent, and this isn't surprising. The used games business model threatens the business model that most publishers and developers depend on to survive, so why shouldn't they be pissed off?
I have no problem with a corporation clinging to an antiquated business model in an attempt to stay solvent, because THAT'S WHAT CORPORATIONS DO. Businesses exist to make money, and there's nothing we can do to change that. My gripe is with the employees of these businesses that are now adding their voices to the maelstrom that is the used games argument. Recently, David Jaffe, the God of War guy, posted a Youtube video about his thoughts on used games, and now others are following suit. For instance, David Perry of Acclaim recently posted a barely intelligible post on his blog on the subject.
Now, here's why this annoys me…If you willingly work for a big developer or publisher, I don't think you should get a say. Your personal opinion is trumped by the fact that you are but a wage slave to the mainstream games industry. By being employed in the industry, you are automatically supporting whatever stance AAA publishers and developers end up taking in the used games debate. So, please, just shut up and continue making big budget games for those who care. I'm tired of seeing every two-bit game designer's thoughts on the subject, especially since it's blatantly clear that most of them don't have a fucking clue as to what is going on.
Fuck Mainstream Gaming
March 8, 2009
I agree 100% with everything in this post at Eegra. Here's a snippet.
The point is, don't worry about those fucking expensive games. Fuck 'em. They're probably shit, and even if they aren't, fuck 'em – spend that money on a trip overseas.
Midway Games Hits New Low
March 6, 2009
I have been following the sad saga of Midway Games, a pioneer in the video game world, which coincidentally has offices a few blocks away from me. We all know they have been having some financial troubles, and have had some rather craptastic games lined up for release, but this bit of news sheds a whole new light on the situation.
Midway has set aside about $3 million in bonuses for certain employees. This is a last ditch effort for the top-tier of employees to scrape up as much cash as they can before Midway implodes. Kotaku also reports that Midway is denying paid-time off benefits to lower level employees, as well.
It is blatantly obvious, that this is nothing but an attempt by Midway's management to personally profit as much from a dying company as they can, while shafting the lower levels of their workforce. These practices are something I would expect to see out of old-school EA, rather than Midway.
I would suggest a boycott of Midway, but nobody is interested in the garbage they have to offer anyways. It's really a sad sight to see such a respectable company turn into such a pit of corporate greed.
The Darker Side of Free-to-Play MMORPGs
March 5, 2009
I recently read this article about F2P Asian MMO ZT Online. ZT Online is heavily focused on getting players to spend real money on in-game stuff, to the point where it is virtually unplayable without paying. The original article was written in Chinese, and has been taken down from its original posting and many other websites, due to pressure from the operators of ZT Online.
It's a rather long read, but it provides some great insight into a direction that Western MMOs could possibly take, seeing as the whole "microtransaction" thing is starting to really take root here. If microtransactions as used in ZT Online are the future of MMOs, then count me out.
A Death Foreordained
February 28, 2009
A Death Foreordained is my entry in a 48-hour game jam hosted by RPGDX. The theme was "lofi," and as you can see, it's pretty graphically simple. My goal was to make a arcade/RPG hybrid, but it ended up turning out a bit more arcadey than I wanted. There are some really good looking other entries to the jam, and I will be going over a couple of them in the near future.
Cockpit Compo
February 21, 2009
TIG is having a competition, with cockpits as the the theme. I am building a cel-shaded mech game, with a couple twists. Here's an early screen.
More Midway Hilarity
February 20, 2009
I'm really not sure if the idea of adding the ability to turn into a 15′ tall beast in UT3 is pure genius or fucking retarded. This really takes the Call of Duty method of rewarding good players to an extreme.
Why Midway Games Will Fail
February 19, 2009
I live down the street from Midway Games in Chicago, and have blogged about them before. They have been having a bit of financial troubles, and have teamed up with Ubisoft to publish their next game. Now, Midway has a second chance that a lot of companies don't get.
Unfortunately, they are using this chance to release Wheelman, featuring Vin Diesel…great. This means that someone at the Midway offices said "Hey, we are on the brink of failing as a company, let's release a GTA clone featuring Vin Diesel to win back the public's affection and money!". I could be wrong, and Wheelman could turn out to be a good game, but, to me, it looks like Midway still doesn't get it.
If they keep releasing mediocre looking games like this, I don't see a future for Midway.
Escape from City 17
February 17, 2009
If you haven't seen this, it's worth checking out. The Half-Life universe is a very rich setting, and I will use any excuse to get more of it. The video itself isn't that long, but is impressive for an independent work. This is what happens when people who are passionate about games make video game movies. These guys aren't Uwe Boll trying to make money in some European tax haven. They are HL fans, and it shows in their work. I hope to see more of these soon.

When I was a kid, about the age of five, one of the things I tended to do when I couldn't sleep was to get up and try and convince my parents to let me watch what they were watching. Usually, I failed. However, one Saturday (I think it was a Saturday), I pushed my luck and won; I was going to be allowed to stay up and watch what my parents were going to watch. In this case, it was to be a late night airing of a film, one which was preceded by an interesting, if slightly creepy, advertisement. I wasn't going to leave though, as I was curled up beside my mother and ready for anything this film called Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983) could toss at me.
Four minutes later Dan Aykroyd turned into a monster, killed Albert Brooks, and I tore down the hallway to my bed as fast as possible. If it needs to be said, I didn't sleep well that night.
However, that opening scene always stuck with me, and when the opportunity to tape the film off of "Space: The Imagination Station" came in the late 1990s, I took it and watched the film with glee several times. The film was one I eagerly anticipated on disc, and when it finally hit DVD, it was a day of release purchase, no questions asked. Sure, the film is flawed, and the production of the film is one of the most notorious in cinema history due to the horrific deaths of Vic Morrow and two children in a helicopter stunt gone wrong, but I love the film just the same.
As simple as the scene thus far is, some rather complex material is happening just below the surface. What we have is a tale of two men of seemingly similar backgrounds (a point only to be enhanced in the events to follow) but with two vastly different world views. The nameless driver is seemingly empowered in all ways - it is his car, he is driving, he decides how the conversation is going to go - and he treats this power as a joke. He could very well kill someone, but his self confidence is unshakeable as he heads into the darkness without direction. The passenger, quite possibly a hitchhiker, lives up to his position as being passive, out of control of what is going on. He is also more thoughtful and concerned about the driver's behaviour.
As noted earlier, the scene serves a dual function. First, it is a reminder and commentary about the intent and importance of the original Twilight Zone series, with regards to its political, cultural and moral concerns, as brought to the show by creator Rod Serling. Second, while explicitly explaining the series, the scene itself plays out a type of morality play that would not have been out of place in the original series, were it to be expanded to fill a proper television spot. It is a complex scene, written and directed by John Landis, a scene which makes one wish that Landis had managed to come up with something half as clever in his full segment, which becomes lost in its grandiose attempts at political relevance.
The casting is also a vital reason that the scene works as well as it does. It is not merely that the casting of two stars primarily known at the time as comedians that adds to the creepy and unsettling tone of the scene, but just how average the pair are. Aykroyd and Brooks may have been major stars at the time, but at no point do they come across as such: they are just a couple of geeks cruising about and having the same nerdy conversations as anyone else. It is a tough quality to find in modern cinema, and one that makes me miss the style of American studio cinema of the 1980s all the more.
To be perfectly honest, I am willing to admit a nostalgic bias when it comes to Twilight Zone: The Movie, but that doesn't change the brilliance of the film's opening. If nothing else, I highly recommend the film for that sequence alone. And who knows? Maybe you'll stick around for the return trip into the Twilight Zone…

Old friends rock!
Had a fantastic visit from Amy Klinke last weekend that included pool-going, river-walking, eating at the world-famous Moosewood restaurant and the selection of some potential paint colors for the new house. There's nothing like a visit from an old friend when you live in a new town.
New belly shots on the way soon. It's growing...

With your highly contagious grins.
And the way you curl your toes.
Jack you are a fusser. Auntie Deb, who you adore, dubbed you " Jack-the-finicky" but she says you make up for it by being so cute. And I concur. Some days are just sad and Mommy has to hold you nonstop and jolly you along. You popped your first tooth a couple of days ago. Teething has been miserable for you. And we all feel so bad for you as you drool like a leaky faucet and try so hard all day long to get both your hands in your mouth so you can chomp down. Mommy's even started to call you chomper. That and, chubby-wubby-fuzzy-wicks. Because of all the little fuzz that has suddenly sprouted on top of your head.
Daddy is very proud of how strong and big you are. You can get up on all fours and hold your head way, way up. And you love to stand with help. And always try to pull yourself up. And you are long enough to fill out the striped size 9 months jammies you are wearing today. Daddy also takes great delight in how much you love being outside. You are content for hours to stare wide-eyed from your pouch as the the world goes by. Like this:

It is 6:00 am on Monday, February 13, 2012. I wake up to my ever-faithful iPhone alarm and its obnoxious stock ringtone. The excitement caused lack of sleep the night before, but was enough to get me out of bed so the festivities could commence.
I had planned the morning with the help of my best friend, Cayman, and his girlfriend, so the three of us set up while Alaina slept soundly, entirely unaware of what the morning held in store.
I had woodburned a piece that represented both memories and future plans that we have in our relationship, and the entire piece centered around a nail on which the ring hung. This was to be the major player in my proposal, and it served it's purpose well, but not without presenting a few complications first.
We had set up the woodburning, along with rose pedals strewn across the floor of the chapel in Forest Falls, Ca, which is where I planned to propose, and a basin of warm water that I used to wash her feet post-proposal, in keeping with Christ's example of servanthood in John 13.
Once all the pieces were in place, I ventured back to the house to wake Alaina while Cayman and Amanda stayed behind, cameras in hand, ready to capture the candid reactions to come. I woke Alaina and told her I had "something to show [her]", lucky for me my family and friends who were aware of my plans had done well to keep it under wraps. She dressed quickly (one of my favorite attributes about her) and we were in the car and heading to the chapel shortly.
Upon our arrival, we entered the chapel and I turned her toward the woodburning which at the time was covered by a dark colored curtain. My plan was that while she was facing away from me, distracted by the artwork and ring, I would drop to one knee and be prepared for when she turned around, crippled by excitement. Unfortunately, that was not exactly how things played out. The ring was caught in the curtain as she removed it, and came off the nail, fell to the floor, bounced a few feet until it reached a drainage grate, at which moment it fell through the grate and down about eight feet or so. In that moment, I was horrified, but couldn't help but laugh. Alaina, meanwhile, hadnt even noticed the ring and was still focused on the woodburning. It wasn't until she turned to see me on one knee, staring downward through the grate that she realized there was something else I wanted her to see.
My look must have given it away because she immediately she asked "did something fall?" and when I told her yes she asked "was it important?"
At that moment I realized she had not even known that I was proposing! As if the rose pedals and cameras could not have given me away.
Luckily Cayman was there to help me remove the grate, and I jumped down to retrieve the lost ring. I was able to find it rather quickly, but getting back out of the ditch I found myself in was another challenge entirely. Instead of trying to climb out, I decided to present the ring to her from my current state, about one to two feet below ground level.
Needless to say, she was overwhelmed with excitement. So much so that she dropped to her stomach on the cold cement floor in order to give me a kiss. I reached up out of my hole in the ground and placed the ring on her finger, and that is when Cayman decided he could set down the video camera to help me climb out and properly embrace my new fiance.
After I was out of the ground, I proceeded to wash her feet, expressing my desire and commitment to serve her in our relationship, and the rest of the morning proceeded without a hitch.
Now in my defense…it was EARLY in the morning people!! I loved every minute of our proposal day and wish I could relive it over and over again!

In this adventurous sequel to Confessions of a Shopaholic, Becky Bloomwood has it made. She has a wonderful boyfriend, a fantastic best friend, a loving and supportive family, and a career she (somewhat) likes as a finance guru on a morning TV show. And when her boyfriend announces that he's going to New York and asks her to go with him, she finds herself in the glamour and glitz of America. There's just one tiny, tiny problem. She's in debt... AGAIN.
This is the second time I've read this book, and it was just as funny as the first.
Surprisingly, Becky is easy to love. Yes, she's just ridiculous and crazy and has a serious problem. But she's funny and lovable and has a good heart. She's rather shallow and I have no idea how Luke and Suze put up with her. She really is lucky, it's just dumb luck how things always end up in her favor at the end. However unrealistic and lucky she is, I find myself laughing with her, feeling her pain, and cheering for her the entire book. Mostly I'm just rolling my eyes at the ways she gets into all these crazy situations. I love how she explains to the reader exactly why she needs ANOTHER pair of shoes again and again, and yet it makes sense in a twisted way.
I love the Shopaholic series because the things that come out of this girl's mouth are just too ridiculous. Becky is very much in denial, and I hope that she'll get her act together in the next books. I've read them before, but I forget what happens lol. I would recommend this book to anyone who is in the mood for a mindless chick-lit novel and enjoyed the first book in the series. The writing is the same as the first one, and there isn't any huge new things. If you didn't really like the first one, don't read this one because for you, it will basically be the same thing all over again.
4 out of 5 stars because I really did enjoy this one, as fluffy as the story was. :)

Let's think the case where our application has to manage not a single pizza store but a chain of them, where each one should be able to create each pizza based not only on its own type but also on the store location.
TO do that, we'd better move the factory capability to an abstract method of the PizzaStore class, implementing it accordingly to the local requirements.
That will be now our class:
public abstract class PizzaStore { public Pizza orderPizza(String type) { Pizza = createPizza(type); pizza.prepare(); // ... return pizza; } abstract Pizza createPizza(String type); }Any concrete pizza store now owns the factory methods that knows how to create its specific pizza. The recipe is the same for all the pizza stores, so it is kept in the orderPizza() method available in the base class, but the actual pizza is going to be generated based on to the local store requirements.
Generically speaking, the trick is to declare in the base class an abstract method that provides the signature that has to be respected by all the concrete classes for the factory method:
abstract Product factoryMethod(/*...*/);So we can say that the Factory Method pattern is about defining an interface for creating a Product in a base class, and letting the derived classes to decide which actual concrete Product instantiate. The instantiation of the product is deferred to the subclass.

After all the joking conversations about Pete's name here, it occurs to me to share where the real thing came from. The middle name came first: "Jacob Simpson" echoes "Jacobson," Carolyn's last name. The boy's middle name was the first decision we made and the only one on which we never wavered.
The decision on "Peter" came much later. We were tossing around a bunch of boy names. Then friends of ours set up a baby name game with a bunch of people: one group shook up a Boggle cube, and another laid out a bunch of Scrabble tiles. Both groups came up with names that were in or suggested by the visible letters. Some of the results were common names, some funny, such as "Yoda." The Boggle group listed "Kit." I thought "Kit Simpson" sounded like a wicked cool name. Later, we asked ourselves what more mainstream names had the same kind of sound. Pete! said we. Peter? asked we. I like Peter, said Carolyn. Hmm, said Erik. The rock! So do I. Let's keep thinking about that. We also liked the trochaic effect of "Peter Jacob Simpson." Now, of course, we think our little guy couldn't possibly have gone by another name.
And that's how Pip became Pete.

Medical marijuana capsules infused in coconut oil are an alternative way to therapeutically use cannabis without having to inhale it through smoking. Infusing cannabis into coconut oil also allows for easy entry into the liver where it can be rapidly processed.
The combination of coconut oil and marijuana gives a cannabinoid which is powerful remedy that can be consumed with food, taken as a capsule or used externally.
Just a half a teaspoon of coconut oil and a few drops of marijuana for medical purposes boosts the availability of the remedy.
Coconut oil is used because of its high amount of essential fatty acids which makes it a good binding agent for the cannabinoids. Couple this with its amazing health properties and you superpower the combination. Half of the fat in coconut oil is comprised of a fat that is not frequently found in nature, lauric acid.
Lauric acid has been called a "miracle" ingredient due to its health promoting capabilities, which is evidenced by its presence in a mother's milk. In fact, it can be found in only three dietary sources—small amounts in butterfat and larger amounts in palm kernel and coconut oil.
In the body, lauric acid is converted to monolaurin, which is a potent antiviral, antibacterial and antiprotozoal substance. Because monolaurin is a monoglyceride, it can destroy lipid-coated viruses including measles, influenza, HIV, herpes and a number of pathogenic bacteria.
The consumption of cannabis as infusion in virgin coconut oil is the healthiest and simplest method for medical purposes.
How to Make Cannabis-Infused Coconut Oil
- 1 oz cannabis flower (or less for milder potency)
- 2 C cooking oil of your choice
- Strainer or cheesecloth
- Grinder (blender, coffee grinder, food processor, etc.)
- Double-boiler, slow cooker, saucepan, etc.
- Grind the cannabis. You can include the entire plant, just the flower, a little bit of both — this is all a matter of preference. Many experienced cannabis edible chefs like to use the entire plant, in part for conservation but also for the health benefits the more fibrous parts of the plants have been linked to. The more inactive parts of the plant that are included, the stronger the cannabis flavor for the same level of potency. Just keep in mind that anything small enough to fit through the strainer will end up in your finished product, so you'll probably want to remove any hard stems at the bare minimum.
- Combine oil and cannabis in your double-boiler or slow cooker, and heat the two together on low for hours. This allows for decarboxylation (activation of THC) without scorching (which destroys the active ingredients). Cooking can be done a variety of ways: in a slow cooker on low for up to three days (minimum of 6 hours), stirring occasionally; in a double-boiler on low for at least 6 hours (8 is better), stirring occasionally; or in a simple saucepan on low for at least three hours, stirring frequently (a saucepan is most susceptible to scorching). In all cases, a small amount of water can be added to the mixture to help avoid burning.
- Strain and store the oil. All remaining plant material can be discarded or used in other dishes if you have the wherewithal. The oil's shelf life is at least two months, and can be extended with refrigeration.

The point of engineering education must be to create whole people who, through their wholeness, can focus the accumulated wisdom of human experience into patches of splendor and excellence. The nation needs engineering polymaths and pioneers who know that imagination thrives when passion joins with reason, when illusions link to reality, when intuition couples with intellect, when the heart units with the mind, when knowledge gained in one discipline opens the door to all the rest.
Robert Frost in his poem Two Tramps in Mud Time points out the greatest joy and greatest resource of the individual and of humankind, is the fusing of emotion, intellect, and purpose into one universal imagination:
But yield who will to their separation,
My object in living is to unite
My avocation and my vocation
As my two eyes make one in sight
Only when love and need are one,
And the work is play for mortal stakes,
Is the deed ever really done
For Heaven and future's sakes.

Having developed a reputation as someone who has visions of the future, the 61-year-old head of Hooam Future Institute, Cha Kil-jin, offers a glimpse into the near future.
"North Korea, a master at the tactics of brinkmanship, will undergo upheavals triggered not by external factors but by an internal collapse," he stated. "In 2009, a stepping stone that may lead to unification will appear."
According to Cha, "two big stars will fall" in 2009. By two stars, he means two influential leaders. Though Cha did not reveal who those two stars are, one potential interpretation would include North Korea's leader Kim Jong-il.
In regards to North Korea, Cha stated that "an event will occur that will serve as both a crisis for [South Korea] and as an opportunity for unification."
Cha also predicted that there would be a shift in power away from the Atlantic Ocean and towards the Pacific Ocean. "The Atlantic powers, represented by Great Britain and America, are giving way to the Pacific powers. In the approaching age of the Pacific, Asia will rise as an alternate power to America," he stated, hinting that China would play a central role.

The Disney Channel has announced that a multi-part movie titled Evermoor is to be filmed in UK.
The mystery adventure film will be shot on location in England, and is to become the first long-form UK series to air on the Disney Channel in the US.
Evermoor follows American teenager Tara Bailey, who moves to Evermoor Manor in middle England with her mother, stepfather and siblings.
Bailey and her stepbrother Seb have to stay united to overcome a mystery that threatens the very existence of Evermoor Manor.
Lime Pictures (Hollyoaks, The Only Way Is Essex) is producing Evermoor along with Disney's EMEA studio.
Tim Compton and Diane Whitley of House of Anubis have created Evermoor, and Bede Blake will pen the script.
Evermoor is slated to air on the Disney Channel in more than 160 counties this autumn.
Previous Disney Channel original movies include the High School Musical franchise, which was spun off into a successful feature film.

Iain Dale made a good observation on his blog about the BNP urging their supporters to vote UKIP in the forthcoming local elections where they are unable to vote BNP. An article on the BNP website that listed all the electoral wards where UKIP are putting candidates forward in May's local election, and according to Dale, this, "by implication urges BNP members to vote for them [UKIP]". The article on the BNP's website also draws attention to the fact that they have "so much politically in common" with UKIP.

Artists, illustrators, designers of all levels. We're looking for mailable artworks to exhibit as part of a group show entitled 'MAIL ART' in January 2010. 'MAIL ART' was realised by Long Gallery Coordinator Alison Stockwell in response to the number of submissions the gallery recieved from UK based artists outside Glasgow who wished to exhibit but didn't have the funds to travel to Glasgow with their work. By inviting artists to send select pieces of work by post it gives them the opportunity to exhibit as part of a larger group exhibition without incurring any travel costs. As part of 'MAIL ART' artist Susan Mortimer, creator of Mail Art One Zine, will be making a special edition of her zine featuring selected work from exhibiting artists. There will be a limited amount of copies available free during the exhibition.
- All work must be submitted by post and be no larger than a standard large envelope. Sorry but we cannot accept work that cannot be wall mounted.
- As the work will be displayed in a public and family environment we cannot exhibit any work that is of an explicit nature.
- Mail Art Zine - Work can be any size to fit A5 and on paper (see website below for details).
- Everyone who's work is selected for the exhibition zine will receive a copy of the issue.
- Unfortunately we cannot pay anyone for their work as Mail Art is free.
- If you wish to have your work returned to you after the exhibition please enclose a self addressed, stamped envelope.
- Deadline: 26th November '09
We want you to design images and posters that we can display at national, regional and local events that encourage young people to go to www.myplatform2.com and sign up to be sent off, or images that stress just how evil poverty is. There is no huge cash prize but we will give the best designs a bag full of goodies and you will be doing your part in helping rid the world of the scandal that is poverty… oh and we can give you some chocolate! (fair trade of course).
Design/illustrate/create an image of any size for display which encourages young people between 18-25 to go to www.myplatform2.com. OR: to join the fight against poverty.

BBM did a whopping 50 sets in 2013, although in some ways what stands out this past year is what they didn't do for the first time ever. I believe that this is the most sets BBM has done in one year, but I could be wrong. The 2013 sets were released over a 14 month period starting in November of 2012 and finishing up early in December of 2013.
22 of the sets BBM released this past year were the 2013 edition of sets that BBM produces each year - the "flagship" sets of 1st and 2nd Version as well as the Genesis high end set, the individual pack based sets for each of the 12 NPB teams, the "Farewell" box set commemorating players who retired at the end of the previous season, the "Rookie Edition" set featuring the players taken in the previous fall's draft, the box set for the Tokyo Big Six collegiate league, the "Rookie Edition Premium" box set featuring high end cards for the year's top rookies, the "Historic Collection" set (this year's theme was "Great Uniform Numbers") and the two pack based sets for the cheer/dance squads for teams - Hana and Mai. Missing from this year's releases, however, were the annual All Star and Nippon Series box sets that BBM had done each year since 1991, their first year producing cards. In addition, BBM did not do a box set for the Premium Malts old timer game held in July - they had done so for the three previous games.
BBM issued five box sets that were team-specific. The Young Fighters, Young Lions and Young Tigers sets all (obviously) highlighted the young players from each of those teams. The "Yui Carp" set was a simple but small (only 18 base cards) team set. The Eagles First Crown set was purportedly to celebrate the Eagles winning the Pacific League pennant for the first time but it's really just a straight team set - there are no "highlight" cards or anything that actually show the team clinching.
BBM also issued five "single player" box sets. Four of these were to celebrate players who retired in 2013 (or in one case, late in 2012) - Hideki Matsui, Shinya Miyamoto, Shinjiro Hiyama and Tomonori Maeda. (The Miyamoto set is also kinda-sorta a Swallows team box set.) The other "single player" box set was called "Legend Of Invincibility" and celebrated Masahiro Tanaka's 24-0 season - the set features a card for each of his wins during the season.
Where BBM really took off this past year was in historic (OB) sets. After only doing three in 2012, BBM did a total of 14 this year (including the aforementioned "Great Numbers" "Historic Collection" set). They did team based anniversary sets for the Hawks (75th), Baystars (20th as "Baystars") and Fighters (10th year in Hokkaido) as well as a box set for the Hawks celebrating their three Nippon Series championships in the 25 years they have been in Fukuoka. They also started a new series of team based OB sets called "Legend" - they issued a set for the Giants celebrating the players who had played in Shigeo Nagashima's two terms as manager and a set celebrating the players who played for the Tigers in the 1980's. They issued two sets featuring only "gaijin" players - "Legendary Foreigners" and "Deep Impact". They used Yoshio Itoi's abrupt trade to Orix last spring as an excuse to produce a set featuring great trades in history (The Trade Stories) and did a set featuring great moments in All Star games in the 1980's (All Star Memories '80's). BBM also issued three more box sets in the "Greatest Games" series that they started in 2012 - the games featured the Giants/Tigers game on 10/22/73, the Buffaloes/Blue Wave game from 9/26/2001, and the Tigers/Swallows game from 10/16/1985.
The remaining five sets BBM did are a group of odds and ends. They did a box set for rookies and young players called "Icons - Hope" that may be the replacement for the "Diamond Age" box set BBM did in 2011 and 2012. They also did a set called "Our Friends" which features all the mascots for all 12 teams. Both of these sets may become annual issues. One set that I'm hoping becomes an annual issue was the Classic set which featured current players on cards using the 1991 BBM design, kind of BBM's version of Topps' Heritage sets. The final two sets BBM issued this past year were sets that celebrated players from Kyushu and the Osaka area.
