Countries like Belarus and Venezuela - both in hyperinflation - are not the best examples of modern democracies. The president of Belarus describes himself as the last dictator in Europe.
The president of Belarus is also the only person with the power to authorise sweeping accounting changes that would stabilise Belarus´s economy. Sweeping changes like the adoption of a Daily Index with IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies which is not actually being implemented in the country although Belarus signed up to implement IFRS.
The only reason Venezuela´s non-monetary economy is not stable today, is because IAS 29 is being implemented in terms of a monthly CPI. Brazil had a relatively stable non-monetary economy during the 30 years of very high and hyperinflation from 1964 to 1994 because of the use of government-supplied daily indices with Capital Maintenance in Units of Constant Purchasing Power in the form of indexation or monetary correction which was also widely used in other Latin American countries during that period in the form of price-level restatement in terms of a daily index. IAS 29 requires Capital Maintenance in Units of Constant Purchasing Power. Unfortunately IAS 29 has been implemented since its inception in 1990 in terms of the monthly published CPI.
IAS 29 does not prescribe the use of the monthly published CPI. It is generally accepted to implement IAS 29 in terms of the monthly CPI, but it is not prescribed in IAS 29. IAS 29 simply requires restatement in terms of the general price level. The Daily CPI is based on the general price level since it is simply a lagged, daily interpolation of the monthly published general price level CPI. IAS 29 can thus currently be implemented in terms of a Daily CPI or another Daily Index, for example, a Brazilian-style Unidade-Real-de-Valor-based Daily Index that was almost entirely made up of the US Dollar daily exchange rate - by any country with the political will to use a Daily Index with IAS 29 to stabilise its hyperinflationary economy.
In short: if the IASB were to add the two words "Daily Index" to IAS 29, it would immediately stabilise the Venezuelan non-monetary economy over a short period of time. It would also stabilise the Belarus non-monetary economy whenever Belarus would actually implement such a revised version of IAS 29. An IAS 29 requiring a Daily Index would thus currently stabilise Venezuela´s non-monetary economy, but not in the case of Belarus because Belarus is not actually implementing IAS 29 as per my American accredited source in Belarus.
If the IASB were to add the two words "Daily Index" to the future IFRS regarding Financial Reporting in High Inflationary Economies, it would stabilise the non-monetary economies of all countries with inflation in excess of 10 percent per annum or 26 percent cumulative inflation over three years.
Stable non-monetary economies would be a great benefit to the people of Venezuela and Belarus and of countries with high inflationary economies.
The IASB can thus with two words do what now would be required to be done by the last dictator in Europe and by the newly elected president in Venezuela.
Unfortunately the IASB is currently completely unaware of this social responsibility it has to the people of high inflationary and hyperinflationary economies to - where it could it should - authorise standards that would automatically stabilise a non-monetary economy because the IASB itself does not understand the stabilising effect in the non-monetary economy of Capital Maintenance in Units of Constant Purchasing Power as required in IAS 29, but with requiring a Daily Index instead of the monthly published CPI . The power to automatically stabilise high inflationary and hyperinflationary economies thus lies in the hands of the IASB because most of these countries implement IFRS. All that is required is the addition of two words. All the rest of the requirements and authorisations are already in place in IFRS.
This is not something new. It was widely implemented in Latin America from the early 1960´s to the mid 1990´s.
The IASB "are hoping to publish the Conceptual Framework discussion paper" regarding capital maintenance "next month."

Classic avoidance strategy...lots of things going on right now, none of which would be helped by referring to them here. Instead, as it's a day of poetry, I will share with you one of my favourite poems.
Sonnet no.XXII by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
When our two souls stand up erect and strong,
Face to face, silent, drawing nigh and nigher,
Until the lengthening wings break into fire
At either curved point, - what bitter wrong
Can the earth do to us, that we should not long
Be here contented? Think. In mounting higher
The angels would press on us and aspire
To drop some golden orb of perfect song
Into our deep, dear silence. Let us stay
Rather on earth, Beloved, - where the unfit
Contrarious moods of men recoil away
And isolate pure spirits, and permit
A place to stand and love in for a day,
With darkness and the death-hour rounding it.

Flattening the beer excise regime
An Illawarra beer brewer wants to see excise relief for small producers as another price hike is tipped for your next schooner.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
It's colloquially referred to as a 'sin tax' - a generous extra charge on tobacco and alcohol designed to curb consumption for the good of everyone's health.
But craft beer producers trying to distance themselves from binge drinking say they deserve a break.
"Craft beer is about the consideration of flavours that the brewer has hand-crafted," Illawarra Brewing Company brewer Shaun Blissett said.
"It's about sitting down and considering the product you're drinking - you're not drinking it on purpose to get drunk and rowdy."
Under the current system, his product is taxed in the same way as ready-to-drink spirit mixers, straight spirits and bigger beer brewers.
In Australia, beer excise charges are based on the container size and alcohol content - the higher the alcohol, the higher the tax.
He says a 50L keg of his 5% alcohol beer will attract a $65 excise tax.
In America, the same product would be charged $8, and a forecast tax hike on August the 1st is likely to add 20 to 30c to a case of beer bought here.
"It's a really big cost for us because the beer we make has typically got higher levels of alcohol in it than a beer from a bigger brewery, because alcohol brings a flavour we're looking for," he said.
"We look for hops, malt and alcohol flavour, and we don't hold back on profit losses [from making a strong beer]."
But he says some smaller breweries starting out in the industry do, and in the early days when money is tight, making a lower alcohol beer and compromising on that flavour becomes a business decision.
He says his brewery's backers choose to wear the excise cost to produce a product they believe in.
Currently the Illawarra Brewing Company produces a small range of beers supplied to the South Coast and boutique bars around the country, as well as a number of brewing contracts for added cashflow.
Meanwhile, the Craft Beer Industry Association has been lobbying to have the excise-free threshold increased from 60,000L per year to 100,000L.
Shaun says this would give vital breathing space for an industry that distances itself from the kind of binge drinking the alcohol excise is out to target.
"Brewers making over 100,000L per year are the big brewers, and make the products typically drunk in excess and advertised heavily," he said.
"A change would help small craft brewers starting up and would give people more access to craft beer and help small businesses create jobs.
"It would also help create a more interesting craft beer culture in Australia."

Hey! Long time, no see! Things have been kinda crazy around here... Hence the lack of blogging. I'll try to give you a quick run down of a few we have been up to.
- We went to KC! We spent a Friday night in KC with Andrew's coworkers. Nothing really went as planned... it rained the whole time, the baseball game was cancelled, Matt got "lost," and we didn't plan enough time for the brewery tour. But we did go on a stadium tour, run into my old friend Brianne, ate some great BBQ, and had a lot of fun bowling. Overall, I would still give the trip a thumbs up.
- We have been hosting dogs since May 4. Three weeks, five different dogs, one tired Ashley. There have been numerous walks and trips to the dog park, I've filled more water bowls than I can count, and it's all been worth it. The extra income is helped us pay for our trip to Colorado!
- Limp Bizkit - After cancelling our plans to wait for a dog drop off, we decided to head down to our local watering hole for refreshments. We met a couple of kind gentlemen who invited us to join their table for a few drinks. After a few beers, they invited us to the Limp Bizkit concert. The offer was too good to refuse, and it was actually pretty fun. We were completely out of place, but it's def. something I will never forget.
- We also went to Colorado, and that will be in a whole other post!
Is that it? I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but I guess that's what I get for not updating sooner. I'll will get better at this!

Most of my recipe booklets live in folders and boxes that I rarely open, but most of them contain at least one recipe I would like to try. Here is one of them:
Patê brisée:
200 g flour
100 g butter
1 egg yolk
3 tbs water
200 g sour cream
100 g mayonnaise
4 tbs lemon juice
60 g chives
Salt and pepper
500 g kippered (salted and smoked) herring
100 g onions
1 egg white
Salt and pepper
A dash of vinegar
Brisée pastry:
Mix flour, sugar and butter until the mixture forms fine crumbs. Add water and egg yolk and knead into a solid smooth mass. Refriegerate for several hours. Roll out and line a patê dish or other deep oven-proof dish with it.
Mix mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth. add finely chopped chives and lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Grind together the herring and onion, either by running through a food grinder twice, or by processing on a food processor (use the blades). Mix in the egg white, spices and vinegar. Put into the brisée-clad dish and bake at 100°C for 60 to 90 minutes. Increase the temperature to 190°C for about 5-6 minutes at the end of the cooking time.

I always forget how cold it gets in Saskatchewan, Canada. After living in Forida for over 20 years and then moving out to the moderate Northwest, you tend to forget how bad it gets in the prairies (and the rest of Canda for that matter!). Here's a short clip of a guy throwing a pot of boiling water into the freezing air on a typical -40c day in Saskatchewan.

Polka dot bow.
I wore my white sweater today which is one of my favorites. I am glad I spent a few extra dollars on this sweater than my other option which was much cheaper. I wore my grey dress underneath the cardigan with my black belt to give the look some shape. Also my black leggings and boots. To top off the look I wore my new headband which is a sea foam color with white polka dots. What this look could use is some jewelry from the online jewelry store myjewelrybox. I always say I need to do better with putting on some jewels in the morning! Be back tomorrow with another post.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, PLAINTIFF-APPELLEE,v.PRENTICE CRUSOE, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon.
LAWRENCE I. GENESEN, Judge, presiding.
Defendant, Prentice Crusoe, was charged by indictment with the crimes of deviate sexual assault, robbery and attempt robbery. Following a jury trial, defendant was convicted of each charge. He was subsequently sentenced to concurrent terms of 10 to 30 years for deviate sexual assault, 3 to 9 years for robbery and 3 to 9 years for attempt robbery. Defendant appeals the judgment of conviction.
Defendant raises two contentions on appeal: (1) that the State's questioning of the arresting officer elicited hearsay evidence in contravention of his sixth amendment right to confrontation; and (2) that defendant's fifth amendment right against self-incrimination was violated by the State's closing arguments concerning his failure to testify or call his mother on his behalf.
Because defendant does not contest the sufficiency of the evidence, only a brief account of the facts is necessary.
At about 10:45 a.m. on February 7, 1977, Joanne Jamerson and Callie Cunningham got off a Rapid Transit Authority-Congress Line elevated train at the Cicero Avenue station. They proceeded to walk up the Lavergne Avenue exit ramp. Near the top of the ramp, they were confronted by two men. The taller man was subsequently identified as defendant, Prentice Crusoe, and the shorter man was Michael Harris. Defendant threatened to kill Jamerson and Cunningham, forced them to undress and repeatedly struck both women. Jamerson was forced to perform oral sex upon defendant, while Harris rummaged through the women's purses and took $165 from Cunningham's purse.
Defendant and Harris then fled, heading north on Lavergne Avenue. Jamerson chased after the assailants. She asked the driver of a parked bus to call the police and continued pursuit. The assailants had not left her sight since leaving the R.T.A. station.
Jamerson saw Officers Stephen Strezepek and Michael Meka at the corner of Harrison and Lavergne. She told them she had been robbed and assaulted and pointed out her assailants, who were walking quickly in the opposite direction. Jamerson got into the officers' squad car and the officers pursued the assailants. The assailants began to run, splitting up as they ran between two buildings. Harris was eventually apprehended, arrested and searched. He was carrying $75 in cash. The officers then returned to the R.T.A. station to check the condition of Cunningham.
While Harris was being transported from the R.T.A. station to police headquarters, Strezepek stopped an unmarked tactical unit car driven by Officer Tobin. Tobin had a conversation with Harris and then proceeded to 5253 West Congress, 4 1/2 blocks from the scene of the crime. Tobin arrived at about noon and rang the doorbell marked Crusoe. Defendant's mother answered the door and Tobin and the other officers entered the premises. Tobin then observed defendant come out of his bedroom. Defendant was breathing heavily and appeared nervous. Tobin placed defendant under arrest.
Officer Strezepek positively identified defendant at trial as one of the men he chased. Jamerson and Cunningham identified defendant as one of their assailants at a lineup and in court. The defense rested without presenting any evidence. The jury returned guilty verdicts on all counts and the trial court entered judgment on the verdicts.
1 Defendant contends that he was denied his sixth amendment right to confront a prosecution witness by the State's introduction of hearsay evidence. The State asserts that this issue is waived because it was not specifically included in defendant's motion for a new trial. Ordinarily this waives the issue on review. (People v. Pickett (1973), 54 Ill.2d 280, 296 N.E.2d 856.) However, even assuming the issue was not waived, we find no hearsay violation.
During the State's direct examination of Officer Stephen Strezepek, the following colloquy took place:
"Q. Did you have a conversation with Michael Harris at that time?
A. On our route back to the station, we had a conversation with him [Michael Harris], and he said
MR. GREEN: Objection.
THE COURT: Sustained.
By MR. McDONALD:
Q. After that conversation, what if anything did you do?
A. Well, we ascertained
THE COURT: Objection will be ...

Willow Way: New EP Out TODAY!
OKC-based music group Willow Way, is releasing their 2017 E.P. "Cold Amber," TODAY! We had planned to have them live on our show, but severe weather forced us to cancel those plans. Fortunately for us, sisters Jennifer Maynord (with the dark hair) and Melanie Schmidt (she's the blonde), stuck around to record this segment, where they talk with Meg and Mitch and sing one of their songs, so we could post it right here on the web.
Willow Way's CD release party is TONIGHT at the historic VZD's (4200 N. Western Ave., OKC) on April 21st, 8:00pm. The show will serve as a fundraiser for the album and Willow Way's upcoming tour, it is open to an all ages public and will feature culinary/drink specials by Chef Eric Smith.
The 5-piece band has integrated themselves into the Oklahoma music scene, gaining momentum through rising Oklahoma City festivals, along with public radio & statewide TV performances. Their latest single, "Circus," debuted on New Year's Day and has caught some regional festival and publishing interest. Willow Way is looking forward to promoting their E.P. release with a Texas & Roswell tour, as they have double, back-to-back shows scheduled at the Roswell Film Festival on April 28th. They will close their 3-day tour with a performance at Norman Music Festival on Saturday, April 29th (4:00pm, The Bluebonnet).

Believe it or not, about 20 years ago, PBS refused to air a Canadian documentary about the Soviet Union's deliberate creation of a famine in the 1930's in Ukraine, even though the film won many awards from credible organizations. Their excuse was that the Soviets didn't get to present their viewpoint!
(Ultimately, PBS did run the film, called "Harvest of Despair," but only because William Buckley ran it on his program. Even then, they forced Buckley to include a discussion with a panel of "experts," who bashed the film.)
It depends upon what you call, "fair and balanced".
A news organization's purpose is to inform, not to proffer an opinion. In the area of informing, NPR does better than Fox. For example, more than 60% of Fox News listeners thought the US found WMD's in Iraq, less than 20% of NPR's listeners thought the same. Since Washington has admitted that no WMDs were found, which news organization did a better job of informing its listeners?
Breaking new ground? Hardly. Having a definite slant/POV/opinion to broadcast is an old (as in 'right back to the origins of mass media in the 16-1700's') tradition. The idea that the media should be 'neutral, fair, and balanced' (or at least seem to be) is very new - since WWII.A news organization's purpose is to inform, not to proffer an opinion.
I think you mean should be. Traditionally, US media's purpose has been neither; it has been to profit. Fox news is breaking new ground in pushing a particular point of view.
Following which it immediatelty jumped up in April [usatoday.com].
Or did they report there was a "civil war" in Iraq? One of those is factually true, the other is not.
What do you mean? Someone gets to officialy declare "a civil war"? Or is it based on the amount of armed militias, sectarian gangs, and random thugs blowing things up and killing people by the hundreds? In the first case, no civil war was ever fought, ever as there are no valid, legitimate "sides" to "officialy" declare it, before it starts. If it is the other, a "civil war" is simmering in Iraq.
Which of them makes one "better" informed? I guess it's a matter of opinion.
Not emphasising one, versus the other (which is your whole beef here) does impact the listener's information. However it pales in comparison with simple partisan hackery which places like FOX and much of the corporate media represent. The point is that none of the so called "news" organizations should engage in either. No careful selection of news items to fit an agenda, but far more importantly a severe separation of "news" from "opinion". There are many privileges granted to newsmen in exchange for their supposed allegiance to truth, not to the bottom line. If they are unable to fulfill their part of the bargrain, all their privileges should be revoked and the so-called "news" channels severely penalized by FCC via revoking their licenses and granting the bandwith to real news organizations.
So NPR ignores positive news in Iraq? Subtle and devious. Of course, I'm sure you checked your fact with a simple web search.
Oh wait...
Rate of New U.S. Deaths Declining in Iraq [npr.org]
Now, I don't mean to be a complete jerk by pointing this out. Just 80 percent jerk. The other 20 percent wants people to actually go and read, listen, or watch the news source before they criticize it.
Informed opinion makes the discussion more interesting, and civil.
Except in the first case we didn't find the weapon. It found us.
Further, as the Wiki entry states and was later confirmed, that particular shell dated back to the Iran-Iraq war.
In the second case mentioned the weapons did not have sarin gas within them.
So no, we haven't found any of the vast stockpiles of wmds that the President, Vice President, Secretary of Defense and other members of the administration said we knew Saddam had. You do remember thos
That statement is flawed in that it jumps to the conclusion that correlation implies causation. (The actual study was pretty clear in stating it only found correlation, but of course all the left-wingers went nuts over it mistakenly jumping to the conclusion that it meant causation.)
If you were to ask the Fox and NPR audience if they believed it had been scientifically proven that man is causing global warming, you'd probably find that the Fox viewers are "better informed." It hasn't been scientifically proven that man is causing global warming, but a greater percentage of the NPR audience probably believes it because it's dear to them and their threshold for belief on it is lower. In other words, it's just a correlation due to the political leanings of the two audiences.
If you select a fact on a topic that's widely liked or disliked by the groups, you're going to come up with a bias independent of the quality of the news service. Therefore to test the quality of news services, you need to select facts that are neutral or equally liked to disliked by both audiences.
Wow, that's quite a security expert there! I wonder how much it would cost to hire Whitedust Security to hang out on IRC and make up conspiracy theories about people attacking my network?
Wait a minute? Some people consider Wal-Mart to be a "great satan"? I thought SCO was the "great satan". Or was it the Oil Companies?
Now I'm really confused....Maybe I should look up Great Satan [wikipedia.org] on Wikipedia. Oh, damn! I LIVE in the Great Satan! Is there some pill or something I can take for that?
An encyclopedia is supposed to present unbiased and balanced facts. It one viewpoint is favoured over another, that's bias - by definition. Bias is present when you present a case with favour given to one side, whether that favour be justified or not!
You write as if there were an objective truth

I think the "mass mind of humanity" idea ain't gonna work.
At least not until we get that whole telepathy thing down.
Since Wal-Mart is so heavily in bed with China, is it any wonder? They're learning from the pros. Of course they are successful and their business model is indeed efficient. They put a lot of people to work and they offer the average consumer decent prices on all the things they want, from groceries to TVs. Unfortunately, they've taken this beyond the limit of decency.
They would point out the prosperity they bring to areas where they build stores, but they fail to mention the manufacturing jobs they eliminate in this country when they import cheap Chinese merchandise, thereby converting a lot of good-paying jobs into low-paying jobs and sucking money out of the tax base and Social Security.
Their commercials would have you believe that their staff is always friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, when this is the furthest thing from the truth. I have been to a Wal-Mart in 10 different states and I've yet to find a store that wasn't chaotic, unkempt, and whose staff wasn't lacking decent social skills. I've become so fed up with them that I do not shop there, prefering Target, even when I could save money.
They don't want the truth to come out, to tarnish Sam Walton's reputation with reality. The fact is, these people who fanatically support Wal-Mart are to retail what Scientology is to religon (go ahead Cruise, sue me!). Wal-Mart is best described as the Microsoft of retail outlets, and it shows in the way they handle employee compensation and benefits, not to mention unionization. They are so profit-centric now that they don't care who they crush along the way.
So why bring this up? If you go to his site, Mentally Incontinent [mentallyincontinent.com], you will see this story [mentallyincontinent.com] in which he says Wal-Mart offered him $500,000 for the site and all the books yet distributed because of this story. However, as you will note, the site is still up and he has since admitted it was all an April Fools joke.
Enjoy the story despite the fact that we can't blame the evil Wal-Mart for trying to squelch dissenting voices.
Oh yeah, to get back on topic, I have to agree with what others have already said: the Wiki entry doesn't seem biased. Boring like a financial report, yes, but not biased. Especially since it contains links to sites critical of how Wal-Mart operates.
But, more specifically:
Walmart doesn't give the very best health benefits. But it beats having unemployment and medicaid.
False duality. The choices are not 1. Wal-Mart exists, lots of people have low pay and bad health benefits, and 2. Wal-mart does not exist, those same people are all unemployed. There is also 3. Wal-Mart gives better health benefits.
And if Walmart wasn't providing "low paying" jobs, we'd be paying for them in taxes, instead of collecting tax revenue from them.
Big red flag here: first, you're pretending that the only options are for Wal-Mart to exist in its current form, or not at all. Wal-Mart would still be making piles of money even if it was a little nicer to its employees, and a little more reluctant about large-scale sweatshop labor. Certainly, fixing all of people's complaints about Wal-Mart would seriously damage their business, but this is not an all-or-nothing question.
Second, you pretend that if Wal-Mart didn't exist, the rest of the world would be exactly the same except that everyone who works at Wal-Mart now would be unemployed and living off the state. This completely does not follow. If Wal-Mart didn't exist, things would be different in all kinds of ways -- some other entity or entities would be filling the economic niche that Wal-Mart does now (albeit probably in a different way), thereby providing jobs for many of the same people. It is more or less impossible to say for certain what the overall effect would have been on the economy or people who would have been Wal-Mart employees. You'll notice that when Wal-Mart moves in somewhere, a common effect is for lots of small shops to go out of business, thereby causing unemployment -- so many of the people who end up working at Wal-Mart already had jobs, and your "we would be paying for them anyway" claim is bunk.
Now, I know a lot of people say that these small shops were less efficient and therefore deserved to be put out of business. I disagree strongly, but I won't press the point. I'm just trying to say that you're making a couple of leaps in your argument that don't really follow -- if Wal-Mart didn't exist, it is not at all clear that this would magically increase everyone else's tax burden. Also, people who are "anti-Wal-Mart" aren't typically saying "Wal-Mart should completely vanish from the face of the Earth," they're saying that Wal-Mart is engaging in unacceptable behavior, and should stop. This is very much not the same thing.
I checked the Walmart page and Walmart was called "The great satan" in the first line. Why? Because they decided to sell inexpensive, yet usable goods to a mass market?
Well, no, because the extremists on both ends go too far. This doesn't invalidate the concern that the pro-Wal-Mart extremists (i.e. the people Wal-Mart is paying) are winning.
Because they show, better than anything, the hypocracy of anti-capitalist whiners. You know the type - those who complain that they are entitled to everything the world has to offer, for free from the government.
This seems like something I'd see in a troll comment, and is a complete straw-man... opposing Wal-Mart's business practices is not the same as saying I should have everything for free from the government. I find a lot of Wal-Mart's behavior (treatment of employees, manipulation of eminent domain via kickbacks, heavily anti-competitive behavior) extremely ethically troubling. What does this have to do with the government, or what I should receive from them? This is entirely a
This has to stop.
Executive ability is deciding quickly and getting somebody else to do the work. -- John G. Pollard

By AMANDA KRALEY
Junior Ariana Lease chats animatedly to the camera in her YouTube video, smiling and gesturing while she talks.
As she casually pushes her bangs away from her face, an ad for TOMS shoes pops up at the bottom of the video screen, partially obscuring her video. If a person watching her video clicks on the ad, Lease will make money.
The popular video-sharing website YouTube has become more than a place of entertainment. For several students at Santa Rosa's Maria Carrillo High School, it has become a means for earning money and a self-promotional platform.
Lease, who posts videos "just to talk about something on my mind," currently is at 1,232 subscribers and counting. She said the topics of her videos are "mostly random" and range from advice to her younger self to talking about her pet cat, Panther.
Because of Lease's high number of subscribers, she has become a partial member of the YouTube Partner Program, which allows YouTube to place ads on her page and videos. In return, she is given creative freedom with her YouTube channel so she can customize more features on her page, create longer videos and be paid for each person that clicks on an ad posted on or around her videos. After a certain amount of clicks "you are sent a check when you've got $100 worth," she said.
Lease, who creates videos "just for fun and to make friends," said YouTube has connected her with people that do not live nearby.
Last summer, she attended VidCon, the Online Video Convention that hosts many YouTube celebrities in Los Angeles.
"I met up with friends that I met over YouTube," she said.
Lease is a part of a collaboration channel that she shares with six other people. One person posts once a week, yielding a new video every day.
The collaboration channel "has especially connected me with other people," Lease said.
Maria Carrillo senior Stephanie Evans also uses YouTube to earn money. For her "Beauty Guru" channel, she makes videos pertaining to makeup and beauty products.
"I've just begun improvising with YouTube tutorials. I just turn on the camera and play with colors on my face," said Evans, a freelance makeup artist.
Evans' YouTube videos recently earned her a job at The Powder Room, a Santa Rosa salon that applies makeup and styles hair for special events.
The YouTube channel was "something I put on my resume and it definitely helped me get the job," she said.
Like Lease, Evans enjoys the community aspect of YouTube.
"YouTube becomes its own culture and it's kind of like a family," she said.
The site also helped Maria Carrillo students show their artistic talent.
Senior Sydnie Kim posts videos of herself singing and playing both the guitar and the piano. She said YouTube has furthered her music and allowed her to connect to a larger audience.
"A lot of people get to hear (music) that otherwise wouldn't," she said.
Her channel is mostly for family and friends, but it's "good to get feedback" on her videos from others on YouTube.
Kim, who performs at open-mike nights, feels that making YouTube videos has helped with her performance.
"YouTube is a nice way of overcoming stage fright, because it's just you and the camera," Kim said.

Okay, I watched an AWESOME video today about an Iraqi Reporter throwing shoes (count 'em..2 shoes) at George Dubya during a press conference. The video is hilarious- watching that idiot dodge shoes!! haahahah. However, if that is how an Iraqi reporter feels about Dubya, imagine how the American People feel...
Here's the Video
In fact, I say, that if you feel like Bush is an idiot...THROW YOUR SHOES AT HIM! But, remember to get them back since you KNOW we can't afford new ones!
Peace y'all!

HAYS — McPherson's streaking American Legion baseball team enters zone play Tuesday as the one to beat.
Post 24, which has won 14 of its last 15 games to improve to 19-6, is the prohibitive favorite when the four-team tournament gets under way.
Top-seed McPherson plays Hays at noon at Larks Field, with Caleb Schmidt expected to get the start, though coach Tony Schmidt has a reservoir of pitchers to choose from. A win and Post 24 would go up against the Salina-Great Bend winner at 2:30, also at Larks Field.
Should McPherson lose to Hays, it would play at 2:30 at Hays High.
Two games are scheduled for Wednesday, with the finals at 7 p.m. Should an extra game be needed since the tournament is double-elimination, it would be played at 6 p.m. Thursday.
McPherson has swept both Salina and Great Bend, but has not played Hays.

My hubs had to be at work by 8 this morning – that meant he had to leave by 7. This is a challenge for a man who can not get up early – surprisingly he did indeed succeed today. It was like a tag team match at our house this morning – I ran in the door, tagged him (in the form of a smooch) and he was outy. Hopefully I will be able to spend some time with him this evening. He asked me to show him some yoga which I think would be really great for him. He has been working late so our husband/wife time has been a bit no existent these days. A mommy's life can be a tad bit lonely even thought I am NEVER alone. I just need some adult conversation a little now and then is all I am saying.
I was up and out the door by 4:50 this morning. I did my workout with a Banana Muffin in my tummy. It was super delish – gotta love the napkin china.
I did a speedy 30 minute run, 30 minutes on the Recumbent Bike and then I finished with weights.
When I got home the hubs flew out the door and I flew into the shower. D was being a his normal picky self about breakfast but I finally got him to eat a piece of toast with Earth Balance and Camp Mix Honey Cinnamon Sugar.
My breakfast was of course lovely oat bran. The usual 1/2 cup cooked with water. I then mashed in a banana and topped it with a Nature's Promise granola bar. I served it up in on of my BIG mugs.
We are going to the library today – it is open, I already checked :)
I must bake my bake sale brownies – I am sure that Lisa is waiting for her goodies. I am really hoping that I can get that done today. I hope you all have a great day.

Recently I spotted a very exciting launch in the drugstore departments, and that is the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet liquid lipsticks! I am an avid fan of liquid lipsticks, and i love trying more of them, and this launch intrigued me because it claimed to be matte and to last for the entire day! Obviously, I just had to try them out, it was just meant to happen.
Before I give you the verdict and before we discuss the performance of this product, lets talk about other elements that make or break the deal for me.
The packaging is one of the things I like to address. I think this product has the average package of a drugstore product. It is not beautiful or fancy by any stretch of an imagination, but is is practical and lightweight! What I am especially fond of is how secure these things are, they will never open automatically, so you can put them in your purse and completely forget about them. They are also color-coded so you wont have trouble picking your favorite shade if you buy more than one.
In terms of price, I think they are certainly overpriced, they go for 125 nis which is the equivalent of 35-36 usd! That's just completely and utterly mad for a drugstore product. Fortunately, drugstore products are often on offer, so you can buy some for a good deal, you just have to have an eye for good deals because otherwise I think they're a total ripoff for what it really is which is a drugstore lip product!
The shade selection is pathetic, it is very limited and basic! But let's be nice for a minute and give this a go, its a new product and I would assume that new shades would be included and introduced to the line if it ends up being a successful product.
The one thing that I really dislike is the scent. The smell brings back memories of the way our art classes used to smell back in elementary school! I cant pinpoint exactly what exactly triggered this memory, but it just did! However, fortunately, the scent really does not linger at all! And it does not have any flavor whatsoever! A big plus. Just for the record, I think the YSL Volupte lipsticks smell worse than these Bourjois ones do!
Now lets talk about the performance!
Pigmentation wise, these things are as pigmented as it gets. The pigment is rich and opaque in one swipe, which is awesome I think! The best thing about this is that they set into a matte finish, and they never bleed or smudge all over the place or get onto my teeth! The applicator is also awesome and totally foolproof!
They are also ridiculously long lasting! I find that these things are amazing to put on when you know you're going to have a long day and that touching up is not an option! These are arguably the longest lasting lip products that I have ever tried!
But knowing that they're matte and very long lasting is a little worrisome to those of us who worry about dry and chapped lips. Usually, matte lipsticks tend to be drying. But this does not do that at all, but it doesnt moisturize the lips either, its just very comfortable. It is also not sticky at all! Another thing worth noting is that they are insanely lightweight and it feels like there's nothing on the lips, you almost forget about them, until you get a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and see the crazy pigmented color on your lips. And you dont really need to reapply after eating/drinking!
Overall, the verdict is that I think that this is a great great product, I love it and I really cannot fault it. It get five stars from me! Highly recommended!
I'll be uploading a video later tonight, so stay tuned :)

ROBERT BELL, GRACE IMGRUET, ADMINISTRATRIX OF THE ESTATE OF JOSEPH IMGRUET, DECEASED, AND CLINE MCALPINE, PLAINTIFFS-APPELLANTS,v.PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD COMPANY, DEFENDANT-APPELLEE
Author: Grubb
Before HASTINGS, Chief Judge, KNOCH, Circuit Judge, and GRUBB, District Judge.
GRUBB, District Judge.
Plaintiffs-appellants, who are the driver of an automobile, a passenger therein, and the administratrix of the estate of another passenger, brought this diversity of citizenship action against the defendant-appellee, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, to recover damages for injuries sustained in a crossing collision between said automobile and the appellee's train. They alleged the negligent acts of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in the maintenance and control of the crossing and in the operation of the train as causal of their injuries.
The appellee, hereafter referred to as the "Railroad," denied the allegations of negligence and asserted plaintiffs' failure to observe the presence of the cars of the train as blocking the highway as an affirmative defense.
At the close of plaintiffs' case as to the issue of negligence in the jury trial of this action, the court granted the Railroad's motion for a directed verdict of not guilty as against all the plaintiffs on the ground that there was no proof of negligence on the part of the Railroad.
The issue before this court on the appeal from the order direction a verdict for the defendant at the close of plaintiffs' case is whether the evidence, with all inferences that justifiably may be drawn from it and considered in the light most favorable to the plaintiffs, would justify submission of the factual issues to the jury. Reitan v. Travelers Indemnity Company, 7 Cir., 1959, 267 F.2d 66; Burg v. Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, 7 Cir., 1958, 256 F.2d 613.
The facts, as testified to by the plaintiffs and their witnesses and considered in the light most favorable to the plaintiffs, show that the accident occurred on November 18, 1951, at seven o'clock in the evening on Illinois Route 136, an east-west highway, at a crossing of the Railroad's single track which runs in a northwest-southeast direction and intersects the highway at an angle of 70 degrees. It was dark, and there was fog in the low spots. Plaintiffs had driven on this highway on one previous occasion, two nights earlier, and were otherwise unfamiliar with the crossing.
Plaintiffs approached the crossing at a speed of about 45 miles per hour while driving east on Route 136. Beginning about 1,000 feet west of the crossing, Route 136 starts on a downgrade, culminating at the crossing, and cuts through an embankment, the northerly side of which is of heights varying from 7 feet 9 inches at 500 feet from the crossing, 9 feet 6 inches at 300 feet, 1 foot 8 inches at 100 feet, and level at the crossing itself. Weeds and brush growing 2 to 5 feet high on the embankment and on the railroad right-of-way might have obscured the view of a traveller approaching upon the highway from the west.
An advance warning sign of the crossing was located 450 feet west of the crossing and 8 feet south of the pavement. Plaintiffs did not see this sign. Reflector buttons were missing on the sign, some of its paint was gone, and it was rusty.
Crossbuck warning devices were located on either side of the crossing. The sign in the southwest quadrant - on the side of the highway from which plaintiffs were approaching - extended 10 to 12 feet above the railroad right-of-way and was located 30 feet west of the center of the track and 9 feet from the south edge of the pavement. The sign was dirty, rusty, and twisted, and reflector buttons were missing from it.
Plaintiffs' evidence as to the distance at which they observed the train varies. There is testimony that they first saw a dark object occupying at least two-thirds of the crossing at a distance of 45 to 50 feet. The driver then applied the brakes. Plaintiffs did not hear any bell or whistle.
Interrogatories read into the record by counsel for the plaintiffs establish that the 80 car train was moving at a speed of 25 to 30 miles per hour at the time of the occurrence and that there were no gates, bells, watchman, or artificial illumination at the crossing.
Plaintiffs have the burden of furnishing evidence in support of the material allegations of the complaint. Bell v. School Dist. No. 84, 1950, 407 Ill. 406, 95 N.E.2d 496. On motion for directed verdict, the inquiry is whether there is any evidence fairly tending to prove the cause of action. The court does not consider the weight and preponderance of the evidence adduced. MacKay v. Costigan, 7 Cir., 1950, 179 F.2d 125.
This court holds that the evidence submitted by the plaintiffs is such that a jury might reasonably infer that the condition of the crossing was extrahazardous and that the Railroad was negligent in the maintenance and control of the crossing and in the operation of its train at the time of the accident as alleged in the complaint. The Railroad claims plaintiffs are predicating recovery upon the theory that these circumstances bring the case within the exception to the rule that a train upon a track is sufficient warning to the traveller upon the highway to bar a finding of negligence on the part of the Railroad. There is sufficient basis in this record to present a jury question as to the perceptibility of the train and as to its presence upon the track for a sufficient length of time to constitute a warning so that the bar to liability cannot be determined as a matter of law. Cf. Coleman v. Chicago, B. & Q. ...

Keen as Mustard
Bridget Goodwin
Publisher:University of Queensland Press
Based on a Bridget Goodwin's documentary televised in Britain on the eve of the Gulf War, this book is an extraordinary expose of Britain's inhuman treatment of Australian "guinea-pigs" during World War II. In World War II mustard gas was the chemical weapon of choice, today other chemical and biological weapons have come into favor, but the results remain horrific. This little known chapter of World War U should not be forgotten, particularly in light of today's stockpiling of chemical weapons.

I love food. I love eating food. I love cooking food. I love talking about food.
The best thing about cooking is the freedom to experiment and try new things. When a friend tells me about a food craving, I can not only picture it in my head, but I'm thinking about the thousands of possibilities on how to create the perfect dish that they are craving.
My little sister, Tiffany, is home for spring break, which means enjoying mom's home cooked meals for seven days straight. Honestly, dining hall food at her school is not THAT bad, but c'mon, at the end of the day, it's dining hall food… chewy bacon, rubbery chicken breast, and sad attempts at stir fry and Asian cuisine.
One of the dishes that Tiff was craving was a hearty pasta dish with a creamy tomato sauce. I've never made a creamy tomato sauce before, so I was excited to try something new! I tried to keep it on the lighter side, which meant that the sauce didn't come out as creamy and cheesy as she wanted, but she was still satisfied (or maybe she was just hungry?). I think next time, I'll use cream cheese instead of half and half.
Pasta with "Pink" Sauce
Serves 6
- 16 oz. package of pasta, cooked (I used Colavita Mezzi Rigatoni)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 strips of uncured bacon, chopped
- 28 oz. can of peeled plum shaped tomatoes, dice the tomatoes and keep the juice
- Fresh parsley and basil, chopped
- 1/2 cup, half and half
- 1/4 cup, freshly grated parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- Follow instructions to cook pasta, drain, and set aside.
- In a large pot, over medium high heat, add bacon. Saute for a few minutes, until edges turn crispy. Add onion and garlic and saute for an additional 4-5 minutes.
- Add canned tomatoes and fresh herbs. Turn heat down to low and let simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add half and half and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Continue to stir until sauce becomes a nice pink color. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Toss in cooked pasta and mix well. Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh parsley.

I love my creative friends
I just have to say thank you to Lisa (and Amy) for being so brilliant and creating this spread. Sometimes my brain just doesn't function and that is when "scraplifting" comes into play. I had done all of Ava's "month" pages from 5 mo. to 12 mo. except this one. I just didn't love the pictures and so had no motivation to scrap it. But now, thanks to Lisa and Amy, I love this spread. And I now love the pictures too. Thanks my creative friends! What would I ever do without you?

I love it when you can scrapbook a page and then it makes you love the photos. That is the magic of scrapbooking! When I first saw the page I didn't even see the similarity to mine. It's amazing how you can take an idea and come up with something totally different. You are good at 'translating ideas' and making them your own. Love it!!! You just may have inspired me enough to get working!

Your dominant hues are red and green, so you're definately not afraid to get in and stir things up. You have no time for most people's concerns, you'd rather analyze with your head than be held back by some random "gut feeling".
Your saturation level is very high - you are all about getting things done. The world may think you work too hard but you have a lot to show for it, and it keeps you going. You shouldn't be afraid to lead people, because if you're doing it, it'll be done right.
Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.
A blog to discuss books and writing. There will be lots of other discussions, too, so enjoy!

I couldn't resist trying another game at spacefem.com. This one is probably a little more accurate.

text: It looks like Motorola is set to give its standard V70 handset a bit of sprucing up, with this new and hereto unseen V70 Retro model now making its first appearance courtesy of CTI-Miami.com. Unfortunately, apart from the fact that it boasts a generous 5-megapixel camera, there aren't any firm details on the phone at the moment -- even that model name is apparently subject to change. There are at least a few more pics of it though, and you can find those at the link below.

You're weird and old
But when you heard these things
It makes your heart gold.
You have yearning
For people, stories untold
Cities that are old
Beautiful as they told
Waiting for you
To experience it all.
You simply dont want
Extravagant things and all
Just conversations
Good food, The Beatles
Which never grows old
Simply because
It's what you wish for.
People demand so much
But if you met an old soul,
They will remind you
To appreciate things
People tend to forget.
Fascinated with history
Their mind is beautiful as their soul
That will never cease to believe
That beautiful things
Happens to hopeful and selfless souls.

So the fashion world was rocked this week after Cheryl Cole abominated the season's colour block trend. Donning wild bouffant-styled hair and a badly pieced together outfit, the fashion industry has been split in two over cheryl's catwalk outfit...
With badly fitted purple trousers, an awkwardly tucked in orange blouse and ugly aqua belt, the Princess of Pop looked more try hard than catwalk queen. The trousers needed to have more of a flare and an orange shirt would have been more fetching than the blouse - hitting the 70's trend on the head too. Cheryl's hair was way too wild to aid her styling, a slicked back simple do would have been more flattering. And with all the money she has, could she not have had her trousers taken up to the right length for her?! If the outfit was this bad, I wonder what the shoes looked like...!
But how would I do the colour block trend I hear you cry! Well, below are a few highstreet picks from my favourite highstreet stores of the week:
So Cheryl, do you wish you took to the British Highstreet now? Hmm, thought so...

Something that I've come to realize is that genuine gratitude is in short supply in today's civilization. I guess it is human nature that breeds resentment in the heart of the benefactor. It seems that helping those less fortunate than ourselves causes them to face up to the hard truth that they were unable to help themselves.
However, I find this explanation less than satisfactory in the case of present-day Western Europe. It does nothing to explain why the Europeans seem determined to act the obstructor in our efforts to fight Islamist terrorists.
This really puzzles me since the Europeans have nearly as much to fear as we Americans do. While we may be "public enemy number one", they have much larger numbers of Muslim immigrants in their midst which makes them more vulnerable. You would think that after the terror attacks in Spain and England, wilding Muslim youths in France, and foiled terror plots in Denmark and Germany, that the Europeans would be more supportive of the War on Islam.
You would think that. But you would be wrong. Witness the latest brouhaha over the CIA's operation of secret prisons in Eastern Europe. Leave aside for a moment the fact that, given the European's vulnerability to terrorism, they should be with us. But aren't those countries which helped us to operate this network of prisons sovereign? Don't they have the right to decide for themselves whether or not to assist us in this endeavor?
I am convinced it is not a coincidence that those countries with the most recent experience under authoritarian governments are our most faithful allies in this effort.
The Europeans, on the other hand, spent nearly 50 years enjoying the aegis of American protection from the Soviet threat. I think this is the prime cause that has bred the resentment to the United States; the fact that they were unable to stand up to the gravest threat of the latter half of the 20th century.

European ingratitude

It's true: Transitioning to mobile and cloud does offer CISOs and their teams a great opportunity to improve their enterprise security posture. Yet this shift opens up a number of important questions:
Which mobile threats should you be most concerned about? How should CISOs balance the need for security against today's risks with the desire to prepare for tomorrow's threats? Can Enterprise Mobility Management / Mobile Device Management solutions provide the right kind of security?
For answers, watch video interviews with former top CISOs Phil Reitinger and Ed Amoroso to learn what mobile risks are keeping today's CISOs up at night. Then listen to the extended webinar to find out how you can better secure your enterprise data in our new mobile world.
Watch Phil Reitinger, president of Global Cyber Alliance and former CISO, discuss the role of today's CISO in assuring a successful and secure transition to mobile and cloud.
Watch Ed Amoroso, CEO of TAG Cyber and former CISO of AT&T, outline how best to use EMM/MDM to manage mobile devices and how to take advantage of mobile security to end mobile threats.
A large global bank worked with Lookout to secure 9,000 Android devices as part of their Corporate Owned Personally Enabled (COPE) mobility program. Read the case study to discover how they achieved compliance with internal policies for endpoint protection, gained visibility into high-risk threats, and improved employee productivity with no increase in support tickets.

Not sure where you get your numbers from but I'll share with you what I know.
The National Survey on Drug Use and Health was performed initially in 1971 by Nixon's National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse and is now an annual event sponsored by SAMHSA. Illegal drug use peaked in 1979 with 14.1% of the population 12 years and older using drugs in the previous 30 days. The 2012 survey results are not yet available, but the 2011 survey results reported that 8.7% of the population 12 years and older using drugs in the previous 30 days.
This is a decrease in the rate of illegal drug use of 38%! This would be an enormous success for anyone much less for the Federal government. Since most of their programs tend to be colossal failures.
Drug use during pregnancy was first reported in a survey by the National Institute on Drug Abuse in 1992. They reported that just over 5% of pregnant mothers used illegal drugs. The NSDUH survey from 2008 reported 4.3%.
Another decrease in rate of use. This time of 14%!
Finally your 540% increase for drug overdoses seems to be another complete fabrication. Nowhere in the literature can I find such a claim.
I assume you're referring to this CDC report based on the dates you used. However this report also includes poisoning deaths due to things like carbon monoxide poisoning, something that was never intended to be addressed by the War on Drugs.
In fact, data on overdoses due to the use of illegal drugs seems to have been swamped by overdoses due to legal drugs. Now that more states have been trying to make marijuana legal, I believe that data on overdoses of illegal drugs will be lost entirely.
I suspect you're involved in one of these harm reduction groups. You only care about your "right" to do whatever you want regardless of the damage and cost to others.
The War on Drugs was an attempt to prevent people from getting lost in the drug underclass. Drug using workers have a higher incidence of involuntary absences from work. 32% of drug using workers lose their jobs due to degrading work performance and unsafe events on the job. They start jumping to increasingly lower salary jobs until they drop out of the work force. The rest of us pay for this in increased prices.
In Chicago, 82% of persons arrested test positive for illegal drugs. 35% of these are using multiple illegal drugs. Since they can't work, they're forced to steal from the rest of us so they can get the money they need to satisfy their addictions. In 1989, a New York city study found that 67% of DUI suspects were taking 2 or more illegal drugs. Putting the safety of the rest of us at risk.
I stand by my original comment.
If your user name is correct, I thank you for your service and pray you get help for your addictions.

I got a call from the general contractor at 11:48 this morning at work. It turns out that the plumbing permit application they faxed me yesterday to fill out and have notarized was the wrong one. (And after having sent a courier down from Broward County last night to pick it up here at home.) So, in mid-afternoon they had a guy bring the correct application to my office for me to sign. (My signature had already been notarized--I guess you could say they know me by now.)
Then a while later, the general contractor called back again to say I would need a letter from the condominium association to the City of North Miami, giving the GC permission to do the work. I'd already supplied a letter from the condominium association on July 28, giving permission to do the work but specifically mentioning the electrical work and the electrical contractor. The GC now needs an original letter mentioning the name of the GC. (I asked whether this would hold up approval of the permit and was told it wasn't.) Again, this is something that you would think should have been taken care of a while back, not at the last minute.
I think if anyone in particular were to blame for the way this remodel has stalled due to problems with permits, obtaining letters, etc., it would be the kitchen expediter at the Home Depot store. This paperwork could have been started on at the beginning of May, when I hired Home Depot to handle the remodel. If I did my own job the way the kitchen expediter has done hers, I'd be fired. There's no excuse for all these last-minute snafus and my going without a kitchen for almost two months now. This job could have been done in a week or two.
There's really not that much work involved. It isn't a major construction project--nobody's moving any walls or rerouting the plumbing. Even the electrical work is minor (the appraiser said so) and the electrical contractor is ready to roll. This whole job is basically a matter of removing one set of cabinets and counters and replacing them with another. Why should it be dragging on for so long, with me not having a kitchen for two months? It's absolutely ridiculous.

Yes, I do finish a quilt every once in a while!
Tonight is meet the teacher night at the kid's school. We already know both of their teachers. Ian has Maddie's first grade teacher - so I am very happy! And Maddie has a girl from church for her third grade teacher. Maddie LOVES Miss Nicole - so it should be a good year. Classes start on Thursday - at which time I am hoping to retrieve my house from it current state of filth! I have not managed to keep ahead of the mess this summer. Maybe with the kids gone for 7 hours each day I can get something productive done. Or maybe not!

Awww no wonder all the moms wanted one - that is a great quilt! Great fabric and an interesting but simple pattern. Have fun cleaning up!ReplyDelete
Ohmyheavens!!! No wonder you'd have loved to keep it for yourself. It's GORGEOUS!!! I love brown and turquoise...and plain blue and brown...and pink and brown.... Thanks for sharing, Sarah!ReplyDelete
Yeah, during the school year I think I'll be able to get more done once school gets out, but during the summer I imagine how much I'll get done once the girls are back in school. It's a pipe dream, that's all. lol!ReplyDelete
Beautiful baby quilt. I can see why the mommy loves it so much. Anyone would be proud to wrap their child in such a wonderful quilt!
That is so pretty, I love the colors:)!ReplyDelete
i love brown and blue, too. great quilt, and lucky baby! you sure do crank out alot of them.ReplyDelete
This is so beautiful. What good use of fabulous fabric with a simple pattern.ReplyDelete
It is a great quilt, and good for you for getting it done on time! Now that the kids are back in school, you'll have time to do more quilting, which unfortunately means more messes, at least in my household!ReplyDelete
Beautiful quilt! It instantly made me think of my aunt's house in the 60's. She must have used those colors, although I don't remember the details, just the feelings!ReplyDelete
I like the colors too...they do have a vintage (not quite back to 30's 40's) feel. I really like the square focals of different sizes that just seem to float over the surface.ReplyDelete
And, I really like you, too. XO
I just love this quilt!! The colors, the design, the fabrics... Congrats on the finish!ReplyDelete
Oh Sarah, that is beautiful.ReplyDelete
Me gustan mucho esta colección de telas. Podrías decirme donde puedo comprarlas?ReplyDelete

A former official of the Sokoto State branch of the Medical and Health Workers Union of Nigeria (MHUN), Bello Arzika, has been kidnapped by gunmen in Sokoto, it was learnt yesterady.
Chairman Abdullahi Aliyu, who spoke to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), said: "Arzika was travelling to Isa when the suspected kidnappers struck.

I wish I lived closer to LA. There's so much opportunity out there and I try to do as much as I can out here in the Valley but it's hard to do anything major because of the distance. Also, it would be great if Disney paid more, hah. Working 3 days a week is insane, especially since most of the shift just pays for gas.
Ever wonder why you can't do something? Some say the only thing that limits you is your imagination...But I say nay. It can be a lot more than that. Who knows...maybe I have a future in this Youtube thing. I always love to help out, but maybe someday it'll pay the bills, ha.
Soisoisoi, Later.

There's this "31 Day Challenge" going on this month over at The Nester's place (It's BIG and looks FUN, check it out!). I've been going back and forth on whether or not I should just go for it! So, I'm writing this first post and plan to just go for it!
I've decided that I want to do it because...
- I haven't been blogging very much. Hardly been writing at all. Perhaps a focused topic for 31 days with give me the accountability I need to get motivated again.
- I think it will provide me with a good opportunity to refocus some of my energy and attention in this area I feel like I've been becoming a bit 'lazy' and 'comfortable' in.
So the topic I want to focus on this month is: Investing in my Girls. (They are currently 10 and 12 years old.)
You see, I know my days with them are numbered. I even have their 18th birthday in my countdown app. A reminder to me that yes, my days with them will not last forever. And yet sometimes in the day to day of living, I forget that the little things I choose to do (or not do) make a difference. Parenting is about all those little choices in the everyday-ness of living.
This isn't about me doing things right. Ask my girls, I do a gazillion things wrong. I'm trying to figure out this mothering thing. Many people tell me I'm a good mom. Some days I believe that. Some days I don't. But it's not about what everyone else thinks. Several months ago I won a copy of Jill Savage's book, No More Perfect Moms. I still haven't read it, but I plan to finally read that book this month too.
So tonight, as I reflect, what actions did I actually do today that invested into my girls?
Today, it is this: I took time and played a game with them. Here's the deal...
This evening, after working all day, then going the grocery store, I wanted to just lay on the couch and catch up on facebook, but I could tell the girls were bored. So, I offered to play a game with them. They chose Scrabble Slam. We played 4-5 rounds of it. (sidenote: we got this game 2 years ago and we had to 'take it easy' on them then. Now, they are hard to beat when I'm trying my hardest!)
Playing games with my girls is fun, besides it builds relationships...interacting together, competing, laughing (at dad's word 'fart').
We don't play games every day, but we do try to keep these favorites nearby, so we can play often... Scrabble, Scrabble Slam, Yahtzee, Apples to Apples Jr., Who-what-Where, and Banagrams
What games do you play together as a family?

After reading the "progressives" blog, I find that the very people SCREAMING tolerance are so Intolerant, but then again, you can't excuse stupidity.
It's funny how people are more interested in unity and acceptance than truth.
Libs or Progressives or Socialists as I prefer to call them, are only
tolerant as long as you agree with them. Please! Do whatever the heck
you want with your life, but don't try to force me to accept it.
Nazis were unified as these folks are, but they were unified to do
evil. Furthermore, while we should accept people when it means that we
have to accept or agree with their lifestyles. Do I accept drug dealers
as people for whom Jesus Christ died,? But I definitely DO NOT accept
the fact that they are destroying communities all across America.
we get to Robertson, Paul Robertson DID NOT say anything more about
homosexuals than the Bible said, so if you have a problem let it not be
with Robertson, but take it up with God.
For in all honesty, that is
Who all these people are mad at. They are mad at God because His Word
says that mankind lying with mankind as with womankind (homosexuality)
is a SIN just like adultery, murder, etc. Don't get mad at the man who
simply carried the message-on that issue--but get mad at the God who
sent the message in the first place. Sadly, I get the sneaky suspicion
that if some of these people could take God down off His throne, they
would accuse Him of hate speech too.
Why is this so hard for these people to understand?
truly support and hold highly the statements of Paul Robertson. Why
must we remain quiet and tolerant of homosexuals, while they are
actively flaunting their lifestyles in our faces. Why do these
progressives get so Pissed off when we want to respect Paul Robertson's
right to speak his mind. "FREE SPEECH" When a man speaks out against
anything he believes in he has the right to do so, he is a Godly man and
that is his right. If you were expecting anything less then you
shouldn't have asked the question. He is true to God and his family and
that I respect him for.
