|Reyataz - jaundice
May 20, 2009
Dear Dr.
I was succesfully supressed under Kaletra/truvada (VL < 40) but switched to Reyataz/norvir/truvada due to persistent intestinal discomfort (i'm a sales rep... finding a toilet in a traffic jam is a problem). The reyataz combo works wonders: no more diarrhea. I am getting a lot of comments on my yellow looking skin though (i've got a pale skin tone, the yellow really stands out). I've been on the combo for 4 weeks now. My previous hiv doctor did point out that i have elevated bilirubin anyway (regardless of reyataz), due to Gilbert's syndrome. Can i expect the yellowing to go down? Are there any meds that might help decrease the bilirubin concentration (ursodiol? diuretic?)? Any "proven" natural remedies?
Thanks for the help.
Response from Dr. Henry
There may be some fluctuations in the bilirubin level over time (hydration might help some) but I cannot endorse any particular drug or manuver as consistently effective to reduced the bilirubin (decreasing the jaundice). It may be worthwhile to check the indirect bilirubin level to see how high it is (if very high >>4-5 the less likely that the problem will easily resolve). If you stay jaundiced then a switch to boosted fosamprenavir or darunavir, efavirenz, or raltegravir are other possibilities (depending on resistance history). KH

Been suffering from the mother of all colds for the last seven days. Finally feel up to posting anything.
I was working a little PSK31 at QRP power levels the other day, and was rewarded with an email containing a screenshot of my signal. This is from Michael, CK3NOO, who has quite the interesting website here. I love getting screenshots of my signal back during a QSO. It is final proof that I have everything set up right and that I'm not splattering as you see some folks do.
It is really easy to get a screenshot if you are using DM780, all you need to do it hit Atl+PrntScrn and DM780 will save a copy of your screen to a "DigitalMaster780" folder under "My Pictures".
A few weeks before that I was tinkering around on SSTV during the Sunday night Reddit net. One of the people on the net (I think it was Jeff, NT1K) was kind enough to post the image that I had sent via HF.
I'm not much into SSTV, but it was neat to be able to send this to him sans internet connection, and extra interesting to get to see it as he saw it. Here is the original as I sent it (before adding callsign):
You can see that HF wasn't kind to it. Someone else on that net received it in almost original condition and posted that, but it appears that I have lost that one.
Well, that's it for this post. Time for more meds and sleep.

Jimmy Akin answers What books did the Church Fathers exclude from the Bible and why?
There have been a lot of discussions in recent years about books that did not make it into the Bible. You very frequently find these in a kind of Christian conspiracy literature---things like The Da Vinci Code, and so forth. There have been lots of reports that the Church "suppressed" certain books and wouldn't include them in Scripture for nefarious reasons.
It's true that there are books that Christians didn't put in the Bible. I mean, there are a lot of writings from the early centuries that don't even pretend to be Scripture. But then there are some that do, and those are problematic. The Church didn't include them in Scripture for very good reasons though.
If you look at the different gnostic gospels and other writings---works like the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary, the Gospel of Judas---you find that these really are all fakes: they all date from much later than the canonical Gospels. The canonical Gospels---Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John---were all written in the first century, and in my opinion, before the year A.D. 70. But the gnostic gospels and other apocryphal writings from the early centuries date to the second century, the third century, and the forth century, and they just showed up out of nowhere claiming to have been written by people in the first century.
Well, to the early Christians, that was a dead giveaway that they were fakes. If something really had been written by, say, the Apostle Thomas and had been handed down as a legitimate Gospel, it would have been read in the churches for all these years since the beginning of Christianity. But no one had ever heard of this thing, or Where did it come from? It was a sure sign that it was a fake.
Then there was the fact that these later writings contained doctrine that conflicted with what's found in the canonical Gospels---the known early writings of the Apostles and their associates. And it also disagreed with the teachings that had been passed down through the successors of the Apostles (the bishops) that the Apostles themselves had appointed.
As a result, it was clear to the early Christians that these gospels did not contain authentic Christian teaching (or they would have agreed with the canonical ones), and that they had just come out of nowhere and been given fictitious authors' names as a way of boosting their credibility---or trying to give them credibility. As a result, the early Church was wise to not include these because, had it included them, it would have injected false elements into the history of Christian belief, and it would have obscured our knowledge of Jesus Christ.▣

I'm just loving these personal mini classes that we get each day from Tim. It's like having him right in my craft room with me (okay, so a girl can dream). The day 8 tag was all about some serious masking. Here is Tim's tag:
My Day 8 Tag
Today's tag took some thinking! How was I going to do the masking technique without the mask or any blank masking sheets? I ponder this most of the afternoon and then it hit me. I used my Winter Wonderland Cricut Cartage to cut out the sleigh and reindeer. I used the negative and positive images just a Tim did on his tag, but let me tell you had I had the blank masking sheets this process would have been MUCH easier.
I then used my Plankin School Book cartage to cut out the city in place of Tim's edge die. Side note...my Christmas list is getting longer with each tag...lol
I had all the hardware that Tim used on his tag for my tag which made me happy.
So that's it for Day 8...now on to day 9, I'm kind of sad that these days seem to be going so fast, so it will be over and then I'll have to find something else to fill my "me time" time.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing this journey with me, I really do appreciate the comments.

It's a healthy easy recipe that is full of flavor. All those things combine to make it a family favorite.
1. Saute the shrimp until pink with salt and pepper.
2. In a bowl mix about 1/3 a bag of cole slaw mix, a dollop of fat free sour cream, the juice of one orange and one lime, 1 jalapeno diced up fine, and a bit of corn. I've used canned and fresh corn in the recipe and I like fresh corn best because it's crunchier but canned corn is fine, be sure to rinse it off and try to pat it dry. You probably don't need a whole can either.
3. You're done! Best Recipe ever right?!
I serve the shrimp and citrus slaw with warmed tortilla shells but we assemble at the table. It's so good. It's a little summer-y for november but Shrimp were on sale this week for $5.99 a pound so it can't be too strange.
Here is the nutrition as provided by Real Simple. I don't think they used fat free sour cream so here is a link to mine.

You may have heard the phrase "familiarity breeds contempt". I've not really been all the sure about what that really looks like in real life. I think that it means that the more familiar you are with a situation, the more you take it for granted and the less you dwell on certain possible consequences. We've all been reminded of this with the passing of "The Crocodile Hunter". It could be said that he died doing what he loved. I'm not an expert and have no great insight into the circumstances, but it has caused me to pause and wonder if some people don't die because they are doing what they love. What I mean is, because they are pursuing a life long passion that has become second nature to them, their guard is down and danger happens. Statistics show that an abnormally large percentage of auto accidents occur relatively close to home. Many serious injury accidents occur in the mundane routine parts of everyday life. We may try to keep to the familiar to feel safe, but the paradox is that the familiar can indeed lead us straight into danger.
Every once in awhile, for some bizarre reason, I find myself consciously watching cars fly by at ridiculous speeds only inches apart from each other. It's amazing really. It's also frightening. I don't really remember the process of learning to drive myself, but I remember teaching my kids. We took back roads and side streets for some time until they became familiar with the concept of speed and other 2 ton missiles being guided by other unconscious souls along the same pathways. When I stop to think about it, it's not comforting to know that we are relying, in large part, on the wisdom of engineers to insure a reliable missile in which to propel ourselves. I should know…I spent a great deal of time in engineering. Take my word for it, you're better off not thinking about such things. Anyway, when you think about it, considering that we're relying on human engineering and human training and human consciousness, we shouldn't be shocked and surprised when fatal accidents occur. We should be shocked when they don't.
We have been lulled into a subconscious dream state of the familiar in which bad things do sometimes happen. It causes me to pause this morning, as I approach 43 years of successfully navigating and dodging bullets. I wonder what I've missed during my "take for granted" periods of existence. Have I missed friendships because of it? I'm pretty sure that I must have. I've certainly neglected them, assumed that they'd always be there for me on a day less busy than today. The sobering fact is that I can't remember a today that was less busy than a yesterday. I know that I've missed "growing up" moments with my kids. I imagined that they'd always be little. They're not anymore. I imagined that they'd always live at home. They don't anymore. I know that I've missed romantic moments with my wife. The flowers will always be there, right? I'm sure that I've missed teachable moments before God. The sunrises painted for me in the mornings should tell me everyday that He cares. The sunsets should comfort me that He'll be there again tomorrow. I talk too much and listen too little. And I know that a primary reason in all of these instances is familiarity. I've been lulled into a subconscious land called "been there". It's a land of no surprises, no challenges, and no goals. It's the autopilot that we inadvertently engage in the morning when we think we're turning off the alarm. We imagine ourselves living each day, only to realize in later years that we were sleep walking.
The good news is that I'm awake now. I can work on now. I can focus on now. I can pay attention to now. I can learn, I can experience, and I can thrive in now. I can keep my guard up for as long as possible and not let the minutes slip away into a meaningless dream state. The minutes and days and years that I pass through will know that I'm there. It may not keep me alive any longer, but at least I'll be living.

I'm in the airport once again.
I'm flying to Phoenix again.
The last time I was in Arizona, I shot a wedding at the
Mesa Arizona Temple.
I witnessed the sealing and prepared
Myself for the exit of the couple.
As I stood outside the Temple, two
Men, large in stature rolled up on old restored modified
It was hot outside, peaking 105 degrees.
They wore white beaters and wanted something.
They walked up the stairs and I centered myself in front of the Temple entrance.
This all happened so natural,
One of them spoke to me and said, "We are catholic, that doesn't matter to
Us, we need a message, a blessing from God."
"I'm sorry you can't enter the temple, but I can help you out.
Wait, right here and I'll go get someone that can give you a blessing."
As I turned to go into the House of the Lord, everything seemed to move in
Slow motion, I noticed all these people staring at me as I turned away from the men.
One man had screwdrivers and other tools in his pocket, and a black grab with something inside.
I entered the Temple and approached the desk.
The windows were tinted and the desk clerk could see exactly who waited on the outside, for a message from God.
"Those men need someone who can give them a blessing." I said.
He responded, "We don't do that."
I could not return outside to tell them we can't do that.
"What should I tell them?" I asked.
"Sister, Let me scan your temple recommend, go do the hall all the way to the end, turn left, head all the way down that hall,
and left again, you'll see a door, it reads: "Temple President"
So I headed there, in a fast pace manner, mind you my bride and groom are getting ready, primping, putting on the wedding
get up.
So I have two cameras around my neck, and I'm inside the Temple.
I felt as though I had so much authority.
I met the Temple President, told him the same exact story I told the nice guy at the front desk.
Both men were dressed in white shoes, socks, slacks, jackets, dress shirts, ties and hair. Okay the hair was silver of sorts.
The Temple President said, "We can't go outside in our white clothes, we can't give those men a blessing."
I suggested then directing them to the Temple Visitors Center, which he agreed.
I was sorely confused, which means I do not know the proper temple protocol.
And when I write sorely, I mean, I just don't hold the priesthood and I don't own white ties and jackets, so this was all just new
to me and if this was new to me, then I am sure Anthony was going to think I was crazy.
The fast pace walking continued and I exited the temple. My bride and groom had yet to exit.
The two men were there, as I approached them, I felt embarrassed.
I didn't know how to tell them, they came to the wrong place to get an answer from God.
"Hey, so no one here can give you a blessing."
Anthony looked at me and replied: " We need a message from God, we need a blessing, YOU GIVE IT TO US."
"I don't have the authority to act in God's name."
When those words came out of my mouth, the spirit reminded me that those men did not have the full restored knowledge
about authority and power and priesthood endowments.
He replied with something blurry like: "You came out of the Temple, you can do it."
"You're right, I can. Come over to the side away from the door, I'll pay for you."
Huddled in a small compartment on the exterior of the Temple,
we meet as I asked them for their names:
Anthony and ________. The second name only stayed in my mind long enough for me to pray over it to the Lord.
I asked Heavenly Father to bless the two of them that they would find perfection in Christ as they serve others.
I felt so grateful to pray with them and for them.
The power and authority that many people search for is simply pray, a two-way communication between God and us.
As I concluded the prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, followed by Amen, I was received in some type of gangster related hug,
not so much a chest pound because im a girl, but it was a sincere hug, a warm embrace that connected us.
They returned to their low rider bikes and off into the basking desert heat.
I returned to my position as Head/Solo Photographer, when I saw through the tinted window, a tiny Philippine beauty.
My bride and groom were ready. Their sealing was pronounced and they awaited me to get ready.
I entered the Temple one last time and my convert said to me "You are still Sister Hansen!"
There are no words that suffice the way I felt to see one of my converts dressed in shades of white exited the Temple with her eternal companion.
I had spent many glorious weeks teaching her what I knew to be true and now I watched as she led by example and fulfilled the everlasting covenant.
Any time we live in light and truth, it come back to us, to usher us on and remind us what we know to be true.
I can't wait to get back to the Desert.

Ron Paul stands as an enemy to freedom, liberty and the constitution. His rhetoric says freedom and liberty but his practical application of said ideals, would allow for full on oppression of the minorities. Ron Paul is a racist, fascist, liar, scumbag and liberty charlatan. His toolbox is a box of lies and his supporters spread those lies. Ron Paul and his followers would destroy America and ruin liberty and freedom as we know it.
Make no mistake about it, Ron Paul would stand up for the right of a state to lynch a black man, simply because he's black. In Ron Paul's book states rights trump human rights. This isn't hyperbole or exaggerated rhetoric. We're only one generation removed from a culture that lynched and oppressed black people. If given the power, those policies could and would be legal again in parts of our country and Ron Paul would let it happen. Ron Paul IS dangerous and would destroy our liberties.
Anyone who supports Ron Paul is a racist sympathizer. The evidence that verifies Ron Paul's racism is overwhelming. The implications of Ron Paul's ideals have been spelled out. Anyone who supports him is without excuse. If you support this man, you are indeed 100% compliant and supportive of racism and oppression of people. You can't wiggle or argue your way out of it. You stand hand in hand with the KKK, Stormfront and the pro-slavery people we fought a war against.

Updates: Bedford, Beaver's
Bedford for lunch
Bedford is now open for lunch. With most items in the $10 - $14 range, lunch is the most economical way to try this upscale restaurant.
A plate of braised short ribs is served with short ribs, braised pork belly, mashed potatoes, black-eyed peas, and a vinegary jus. The short ribs and belly were remarkably lean for those cuts of meat. But they fell apart with the touch of a fork and were full of flavor. My guess is that they benefited from a lengthy braising time. I also was impressed with the meaty, vinegary jus, which had more bite than I expected. It is a warming dish on a cold winter day.
In December my biggest complaint about Bedford had been the space. It felt cavernous, cold, and empty. Part of the problem was that chairs and tables had been moved to accommodate a large group. And part of the problem was the lack of color.
Now the space seems warmer now with new modern art on the wall. And when the tables are configured normally, it does not feel so cavernous. Still, I just don't get the dull brown light fixtures.
Officially, Bedford is not open yet. It's "grand opening" is February 28th. But it is unofficially open for lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch.
Robert Gadsby is one of our best chefs. If it can survive the downturn, Bedford should be one of Houston's best restaurants.
A tasting menu at Beaver's
Beaver's had a rocky start. The dishes I tried in the first year were nothing special. But I knew that the food would improve with the addition of Chef Jonathan Jones.
Last week, a group of food bloggers tried Beaver's for a tasting menu lunch. Food Princess has a longer description with photos of the event.
Many of the best dishes are not currently on the menu -- raw oysters, oyster nachos, a fried fish, and vegetarian tamales. Sadly, the barbecue was mostly gone before the platter reached me. But I did try some flavorful smoked chicken.
Based on what I tried, Chef JJ is living up to his promise. And the food at Beaver's is much, much better.
But one puzzle remains: why is it taking so long for Chef JJ's creations to make it on to the menu? The menu continues to include a number of older, dull dishes, that pre-dated his arrival. I'm hoping to see the menu change rapdily and start including some of these great new dishes that the bloggers tried last week.
The Beaver's concept captures the essence of Houston's laid-back culture and our local food. It could become one of the city's defining restaurants -- the sort of place where you want to take your out-of-town guests to show them what Houston food is really like.

I wish Beaver's would bring back the original Beaver Balls. They were great and JJ's newer version are not good. Also, bring back the sweet potato fries. The BBQ has gotten much better. I think they are really starting to hit their stride.

I loved the deep fried Blue Runner collar paired with ceviche and the oyster dishes. That's just the sort of food I'd love to see Beaver's add to their regular menu.
- plinio said...
do you really want the beaver balls back? to be frank, they looked like real ball sacks covered with white goo. not something i want to eat. my friends wouldn't touch them with a tenfoot pole!
as for the sweet potato fries. i love sweet potato fries. i'll order anytime i see them on a menu. but the ones i had a beaver's were limp and extremely greasy.
i third for the change in menus. jj's food is just ridiculously delicious and i'd like to see more of it on the menu. then this place would be a huge sucess, like rob walsh said.
a few nights ago i tried jj's spam-wow sandwich. spam, fried egg, bacon, texas toast, potato chips. it was glorious!!
i can't wait for his white trash dinner ... if only i could get off work one night.
spam carpaccio anyone?
- Rubiao said...
The last time I ate at Beavers it was not good; can you just go in on any night and order oyster nachos?
And tell me more about the white trash dinner. Hopefully lone star goes down to two bucks.
The Bedford lunch does sound like a winter treat. Any ideas on where to get a pork belly in Houston if you wanted to cook it yourself? Tough to find anything outside of salt pork.
Korean grocers sell pork belly.
I sorta want to get your thoughts on the fact that "the grand opening is february 28th"
If a restaurant like that is charging me close to three figures a head, then should I expect to give them slack because they aren't "technically" open?
The restaurant was okay to great, but that's a whole bunch of bullshit if you ask me.
I think I should get a discount on my meal because they weren't trying their hardest =D
I agree with the commenter above. Bedford was sufficiently "open" to charge very high prices for very mediocre food. In addition, the service was appalling and there were typos on the menu. Last of all, the decor is bland and boring.
Is this some new trend to pretend to "not be open" for the first 3 months so that they get a grace period while diners fork out money for a meal riddled with errors?

Name: Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous
Collection: OPI Swiss Collection
Colour: Gunmetal with Fine Rainbow Glitter
Coats: 2-3
Pros: The brush is great for evenly distributing this rather thin polish. It dries with a smooth surface of glitter instead of the usual chunky glitter. Dramatic and edgy, this polish is totally one of my top picks from OPI!
Cons: It can look a little transparent so you will need 3 coats.
Similar Shades: I don't know if this is just wishful thinking but I think this shade actually looks like a very toned down and fine version of "Mad as a Hatter". A grittier version of this without the rainbow sparkles will be released soon with "Metallic 4 Life" from Nicki Minaj. Finally, "My Private Jet" is also very similar to this polish but has a little more purple and a great holographic finish.

Berkeley to get a little greener with new alternative to PG&E
Eleven cities participating in East Bay Community Energy will switch over commercial accounts in June, and residential in November.
Berkeley, CA's independent news site
Eleven cities participating in East Bay Community Energy will switch over commercial accounts in June, and residential in November.
New lanes for bicycles and buses are coming to Bancroft Way, the southern border of the UC Berkeley campus, cycling advocates have announced.
Berkeley cyclists are slated to take to the streets Thursday for "Bike to Work Day" with "energizer stations," a ride with the mayor, a happy hour after work, and more.
Tuesday night, the Berkeley City Council unanimously approved, in concept, a 20-year vision to improve the city's bicycling infrastructure.
Berkeley could once again become a national leader if it adopts the Berkeley Deep Green Building plan.
Residents have long been concerned about odors and other pollutants emanating from Pacific Steel Casting on Second Street, lodging hundreds of complaints with local and regional bodies.
Urban Adamah moved into its new 2-acre farm in West Berkeley on Sunday Oct. 23 and held a big open house to celebrate.

Berkeley is one of the first cities in the nation to allow private curbside charging for electric vehicles.
What if every time an electrical switch was turned on in Berkeley, 100% clean energy was delivered to power our lights, computers and appliances – and charge our electric cars? Sounds like a futuristic sci-fi dream, right? But very soon, this could be the reality for Berkeley — and all of Alameda County – with your help.
Downtown Berkeley, as well as Southside and Northside, all made it into a new Top 10 ranking of most walkable neighborhoods among mid-size Bay Area cities.
Berkeley prides itself in being a leader in environmental policy. In 2006, Berkeley voters overwhelmingly supported Measure G, which called on the City to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 80% by the year 2050. This vision, which received a mandate of over 82% of voters, laid the foundation for the Climate Action Plan, adopted in 2009. More recently, in April 2016, Berkeley became one of the first cities in the world to create a Resiliency Strategy, as part of the 100 Resilient Cities program from the Rockefeller Foundation. Among other goals set out, the Resiliency Strategy aims to accelerate access to clean energy and find innovative solutions to adapt to climate change.

You sometimes misplace yourself.
It doesn't bother you when you wake up with an empty wallet because all those bartenders and waitresses probably deserve that money more than you do and HOLY SHIT HOW THE FUCK DID I SPEND SO MUCH FUCKING MONEY?
Your hangover has a hangover.
Your hangovers can be seen from space.
You can see your breath in July.
After eight drinks your "hugs" bear an uncanny resemblance to UFC take-downs.
You start your morning by reaching to the night stand, picking up your phone, pressing re-dial, and apologizing to whoever answers.
Youv'e tried to lay down on the ceiling.
You've stepped on your own fingers.
Everyone thinks you're bilingual.
You receive divorce papers from your liver and it wants full custody of the kidneys.
The state has installed a Breathalyzer interlock device on your shoes.
Your favorite drinking game is Do A Shot Every Time You Do A Shot.
You spill so much booze at home your dog slurs his barks.
After your fifth drink, you're like Don Juan with the ladies: They Don Juan nothing to do with you.You can, in a pinch, construct a fully-operational keg tap from a cigarette lighter, two clothespins and lots of love.
You will eat a bug for a shot.

Internet Marketing and Me! - Twitter
I am not here going to claim to be an expert, or even astute at either social networking or marketing - however I have some observations, and I thought I'd get them out there. If you have anything to add that would be great.
I'll start with:
When I first started trying to sell online I kept reading that twitter was the way forward. I love all things computery, so decided to join that weirdest of worlds that is twitter. I read that to be successful you needed to follow as many people as possible and to have a gadzillion followers yourself. So night after night, I would try and find relevant people I thought would be useful to follow, and strangely enough the oddest people started following me. It took a month or probably longer and I eventually had 690 followers, I was following about 450 or so. I would diligently tweet my new uploads and hey presto I would get an extra 30 odd 'views'. I quickly discovered these views were not real views but 'bot' views. (bot being short for robot) .
Slowly I realised what a bore it was just to see page after page of adverts for random garbage I wasn't interested in by people I didn't care about.
I read that you shouldn't just post links but comment and tweet interesting facts and that people would find you more interesting.
I did this, it made no difference, I was shouting in the wind, no one ever responded, they just posted their links and ran.
I went through and unfollowed those that look like obvious robots, still the same thing happened.
I left for a while, my followers went up, more random people followed, and then more marketing drivvle followed. I started to not particularly like it and only used it once in a while to post a link to get some views. No one liked me either ;-)
So, a couple of weeks ago, I lost it, and realised what a complete and utter waste of time it was and just unfollowed nearly 400. I now follow about 40. These 40 are people who have interacted with me or are friends. Suddenly I am enjoying it again, I post something, someone replies. I see posts that are fun or quirky or interesting.
I have to say in a year of having nearly 700 followers I never made a sale from it (as far as I know). I know many others have a different take, but I have honestly got very little except a tiny bit of fun from it. I have tweeted many times 'is there anyone out there?' and no-one responds.
I am sure if you are Calvin Klein or Victoria Beckham the world awaits your tweets, but if you are thinking that having hundreds of followers that you have never interacted with and who only ever post links is going to get you anywhere, then I wish you good luck. I suppose it's worth bearing in mind, how many of those links do you follow? if the answer is very few, then that is probably what will happen back unless you are very engaging.
So I read somewhere that if you go to a party and just go up to random people and say 'look this is my product' buy it, you'll become very unpopular very quickly. And it's pretty much the same. So, I have stopped looking at it as a way to sell or market my items (except rarely just to get bot views up) and have now decided to try and make connections with people.
Just my thoughts. And you? what have you found?

I've so far resisted Twitter, I like what you have to say and if I do join will certainly try not to get caught up in the mad scramble for followers at all costs!

Averil, it is certainly worth having an account, just be choosy. And also be careful of people who retweet all the time (unless its your tweets they are retweeting lol as you will start having that stuff clogg up as well. I have just had to get rid of a personal aquaintance for that reason, my entire feed was just his retweets.

This is food for thought. My twitter has become so full that I find it hard to follow a single topic. I'm not too keen on Facebook after a 'friend' put some unsavoury remarks in her comments about someone else! I really just use facebook/twitter to put my work out there - but spend much of my time on Folksy forum.

It's odd isn't it Tracey, you go along with it and then one day you think - what the.. what is all this stuff. I know I did.
I like facebook, to a certain extent. I use the delete function and don't show posts function as well if they are all full of garbage. I do think some people need to think about these things as a social thing rather than banging us all over the head all the time with selling.
As for someone saying something rubbish... it's the nature of the internet I suppose. I'm in the middle of writing up about facebook. There's just so much to write and no time to get it all down, and make and post and reply and and and lol
take care

By Tony Norman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
My dog is a lovable white pit bull named Leila. She's 5 years old and looks like Snoopy on steroids.
Still, she has managed to maintain a trim, athletic frame even though I throw a lot of doggie treats her way.
Despite her breed's reputation, Leila wouldn't hurt a fly. She's never even been able to catch one, despite many hours of stalking them on lazy afternoons when there is no incentive to do anything but enjoy life.
In winter, she mostly sleeps bunched under the covers of whatever bed is available. During the day, she bides her time until she hears the mailman on the porch or the UPS truck out front, before letting loose with a fearsome series of barks calibrated for maximum intimidation.
These days, Leila wears a pink sweater my wife insists she wear to make Leila's backyard bathroom breaks more bearable.
As a result, what Leila lacks in actual dignity, she more than makes up for with a counter-intuitive fashion sense. "Yeah, I may be wearing pink," she says with her usual brown-eyed stoicism, "but I'm a pit bull. Got a problem with that?"
Leila's best friend is the golden retriever next door who, despite being less than a year old, is already taller. With only a chain link fence between them, they race each other through well-worn paw paths, barking about nothing in particular.
Admittedly, Leila isn't as smart as Chaser, a South Carolina border collie that learned the names of 1,022 objects over three years.
According to researchers, Chaser has the vocabulary of a 3-year-old human, which is unprecedented for dogs and most members of the cast of "Jersey Shore."
Maybe if I took a page from the playbook of the infamous "Tiger Mother" and withheld bacon twists and backyard privileges until she mastered at least 20 words a year, Leila would be classified remedial by the time she's a proverbial old dog.
In the end, I don't really mind that my dog isn't as smart as some scruffy pooch that has the scientific community eating out of her paw because she's memorized the names of more than 1,000 dog toys. Think how materialistic a dog has to be to have that many toys to begin with.
My standards are considerably lower than most. All I ask of my dog is that she continue to greet me with a non-judgmental wag of the tail at the end of the day, defy as many stereotypes about pit bulls as she can and continue to do her "business" outside.
Oh -- and she isn't allowed to bring any parts of the Black Plague into the house with her.
According to a study soon to be published in the journal of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, dogs and cats that are allowed to sleep in their owners' beds often carry a menagerie of dread diseases with them:
"[T]he risk for transmission of zoonotic agents [diseases or infections transmitted from animals to humans] by close contact between pets and their owners through bed sharing, kissing or licking is real and has been documented for life-threatening infections such as plague, internal parasites" and other horrible possibilities.
The CDC estimates that 20,000 people suffer from various "cat scratch" diseases annually, but doesn't have statistics on how many are actually fatal.
Zoonotic pathogens can be transmitted to pets from fleas or picked up from dead bird or rat carcasses that our pets have contact with. Salmonella can fester in contaminated pet food. Pets can pick up viruses just from rolling in the grass.
A Japanese woman reportedly got meningitis after kissing her pet. When a German shepherd licked a cut on its master's hand, it killed him. Although statistically meaningless, the list of tragic anecdotes goes on.
After reading sensationalistic reports about the CDC study, I kept Leila's slobbering kisses at arm's length for a few hours to think through the logistics of how to proceed.
On one hand, her breath sometimes has a whiff of something putrid that could be the plague. On the other hand, she has proven herself far more forgiving than my wife when it counts. Is it worth contracting leprosy or the Black Plague to get that lick in the face at the end of the day?
All right, I guess I'll just have to get the plague, then.

Traffic's flowing freely again after a three-vehicle crash at Tirau.
The incident occurred about 4.30 this afternoon, a few kilometres west of Tirau.
Witnesses described the collision of two cars and a truck as "massive", but police have confirmed there were only minor injuries.
A Northern fire communications spokesperson told Newstalk ZB one person was cut out of a vehicle but they didn't appear to be seriously injured.
Fire, ambulance and police attended the crash and traffic earlier was down to one lane.

Channel 4 are to air a new documentary show focusing on the struggles of transgender children in the UK as they seek help and treatment on the NHS, and the struggles they experience in their daily lives.
The first episode of the series 'Kids on the Edge', which will air at 10pm on Wednesday 16th November, will follow a group of children who attend Tavistock Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS). Tavistock is the only facility for transgender youth in the UK to be funded by the NHS.
The show will look at the consequences of living with gender dysphoria, as well as the work that GIDS does as a whole. The show explores transition and medical intervention, as well as the increase in referrals to the clinic in the past year (a 100% increase).
The episode is directed by BAFTA-winner Peter Beard.

Great Freemasons: Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
"For my own Part, when I am employed in serving others, I do not look upon myself as conferring Favours, but as paying Debts. In my Travels, and since my Settlement, I have received much Kindness from Men, to whom I shall never have any Opportunity of making the least direct Return. And numberless Mercies from God, who is infinitely above being benefited by our Services. Those Kindnesses from Men, I can therefore only Return on their Fellow Men; and I can only shew my Gratitude for these mercies from God, by a readiness to help his other Children and my Brethren. For I do not think that Thanks and Compliments, tho' repeated weekly, can discharge our real Obligations to each other, and much less those to our Creator."
o Letter to Joseph Huey (6 June 1753); published in Albert Henry Smyth, The Writings of Benjamin Franklin, volume 3, p. 144.
(St. John's Lodge, Philadelphia, February 1731)

On March 27, 2009, the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled that a South Carolina law requiring first-degree sex offenders to submit to a DNA test and pay $250 in processing fees prior to their release does not violate the Ex Post Facto Clause of the US Constitution. The case of Eubanks v. South Carolina Department of Corrections, was brought by convicted sex offender Anthony Eubanks, who was required to undergo a DNA test after the law took effect in July 1995. This was the third case in which a court upheld the South Carolina statute because the DNA testing serves a regulatory function and is not intended to be punitive. In September 2005, a New Jersey court ruled that a law requiring similar testing in their state was constitutional on the same grounds.

In fact I bought these cute little boxes to go in the big boxes. That way the tiny pieces are not rolling around in the bottom of the big box. One of them holds ice packs in the freezer, two are being used in the clear boxes. I'll find a spot for the other 3 elsewhere. Which means they do not count in the bento total!
Dollar tree supplies $10.80
The next stop was Goodwill. We were scouting items with bento potential. We found a square tupperware container with a built in dip jar. They wanted $5 for it. That didn't make it home with us :) However I was lucky enough to find this thermal jar for .99 cents.
I don't think it had been used. The tag was still on the bottom. Perfect container for J to carry hot items to work. Fred Meyer had the exact some jar in their lunch section for $8. Score!
Goodwill total $1.07
At Fred Meyer we bought the ice blanket to use for bentos. It was not my idea, the smart Biggy had the idea. I searched everywhere in the store for reusable ice cubes, those would be tons cuter then the ice blanket. I'll have to watch for them the next time we go shopping. (Not today, I'm zonked!) The ice blanket while not a $1, was $2.25. J cut it up into small packs, and he did an awesome job didn't nick any of the goo.
Fred Meyer $2.50
Total spent yesterday $14.37 + $40 previous = $54.37 Eek, may have to slow down the bento purchases!

Thread: iTunes and iBook sync problem
01-22-2014, 11:18 AM #1MacInWinGuestiTunes and iBook sync problem
I don't know if this belongs in this forum, or the IOS forum or what, but here's my issue.
I have the latest version of Mavericks on my MBP, the latest version of iTunes and the latest version of IOS on my iPhone 5s and iPad. I have 65 ebooks in iBooks (also fully updated). I moved my iTunes folder to a second drive by copying the Music folder from my Home directory to the second drive, then amending iTunes preferences to point to the new location. All my music, podcasts and apps are just fine and syncing with my iPhone works well.
But I have problems when syncing the ebooks. There are two books that will NOT sync to my iPhone because iTunes says it cannot find the files, and one additional book that will not sync to my iPad (for a total of three) for the same reason. But the books are visible in iTunes, iBooks on my MBP can open them just fine, and they are already ON the iPad and iPhone. I tried re-downloading them from the iBooks store to the MBP, and to the iPhone and iPad, and that seemed to work. But iTunes still reports them as missing and won't sync them.
It's not fatal, but annoying to get a pop-up window with that report when I sync.
Any hints on how to get iTunes to find the missing books? With Music and Podcasts you can point to where the missing files are and iTunes updates, but I cannot find that function in the books section. All I can see are the 65 covers, including the so-called "missing" three.

Dang! I thought I was on the way to a record. The books are still not syncing, but I'm getting used to dismissing the warning at the end of the sync. Maybe I'll just read the three books and trash them.

Not done any experimenting with iBooks since I use Amazon. Only thinking out loud...
What about moving the pref file for iBooks and see if it creates a new one - don't know that it will. Don't trash it so you can move it back if it doesn't work. Move it to desktop, then open iBooks, quit iBooks, then try to sync. It's at:
For all I know this could totally screw up iBooks...
Actually have about 10 books in there - I tried moving that file out. iBooks still seems to work just fine and it did not create a new Container.plist even after changing a couple of preferences - so I'm not sure what that file does.
I tried moving the books.plist file a little deeper in that folder - it didn't do anything or create a new one either.
With only 2-3 books being affected - I would have to guess though it's the file itself causing the issue - either a bad download or something wrong with the file itself when Apple created it causing the issue.I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth.
In the Windows world, most everything folks don't understand is called a virus.

I doubt it's the file. The three books open fine in iBooks on my iPad, iPhone and MBP. It's just that when iTunes syncs, it fails to find those three books. They are in the same location as the other books, so it should find them. Unfortunately, I cannot find a way to see where iTunes is looking because unlike music files, there is no "Show in Finder" for ebooks. I'd just tell it to stop syncing ebooks, but when I uncheck the box for syncing ebooks, it warns that on next sync it will delete all the books on the iPhone/iPad, which I do not want.

Just for grins and giggles, I changed from All Books to Selected Books and deselected the three miscreants. When I synced my iPhone, iTunes sync'ed EVERY SONG in my library, taking forever, and then deleted the three books I had deselected. I then downloaded them to my iPhone directly from the Store again and sync'ed, but the books were NOT sync'ed back up to iTunes. So now, I'm not getting the error message, iTunes doesn't know about the three books and all my music is refreshed.
I then sync'ed my iPad, again deselecting the three miscreant books. This time the music files were NOT completely copied, but no error message. Curiously, iTunes reports that there are 62 books on the iPhone, but only 52 books on the iPad. In iBooks, the iPhone shows 54 books and the iPad 56 books, so nothing is really in sync.
Fun times in iTunes. It will be interesting to see how Apple deals with it in future releases.

Sensibly Sassy Does Travel Tips
The Virgin's Lover
Fragonard's Perfumery
These are six little tubs (similar to a tub of chap stick) of solid perfumes. They are waxy and go smoothly onto the skin. They fit in the size of you palm-small enough to slip into a purse or even a pocket! Each of the scents are classic and soo yummy smelling that I have been tempted to taste them. (okay not really...okay maybe a little bit). These would make great gifts for the ladies in your life. They are also a great way to sample the full size spray perfumes in the same scent.
Speaking of the full size scents: On the website you can get the scents come in either glass or aluminum bottles. I have the vanilla (which is absolutely amazing!) in a glass bottle. The negative part about the glass bottles is that the scent will change over time due to exposure to light. They warned me at the perfumery that the aluminum bottles will preserve the scent for far longer. So learn from my mistake, buy aluminum.
VRAI Anti-Wrinkle Face Cream $38: I bought this face cream to use after washing my face in the morning. It has SPF 15 (?) and is lightly scented and not in an obnoxious way. I remember when I ran out of it I scrapped as much as I could out of the tub it came in. It made my sensitive skin feel much softer and smoother.
Essential Care Face Cream $30: Jon actually bought this when he and I went to Fragonard together. Again, it is lightly scented with a hint of almond. Jon loved this product so much that he would often say "I am so glad I bought this!" This face cream is from their product line that uses natural extracts. The rest of the products in this line are realistically priced from $11-$14.
Concierto $34:
Lash Blast Mascara
When I decided to give mascara another try I chose Lash Exact. I liked it because it was hypo-allergenic (which means no swollen eyes), it didn't clump and it was safe for contact lensewearers like myself. However, it did not help my eyelashes stay curled. But I stayed with it anyway, more out of habit than anything else.
But then I saw the commercial for Lash Blast mascara with Drew Barrymore. I figured, "I like Drew Barrymore why the heck not?!"
Sigg Water Bottles
I have this one:
Wherever You Go There You Are
FCL was more of a manual and a lifestyle plan for living mindfully and different steps to take in order to do so. After taking the class I was lucky enough to see Jon Kabat-Zinn speak at my school. He had me mesmerized for the entire hour and a half. I sat there slack jawed as he said things like, "When you were born your parents saw you as perfect and you still are that perfect being, the only thing that has changed is your view of yourself". (I know right?)
Copper Moon Apothacary
My mom and I finished off the day with lunch at Pasta Pomadoro and browsed the local pet
The Geography of Bliss
I picked up "The Geography of Bliss" on a whim. The tag line "One grump's search for the happiest places in the world" had me hooked-tag line=mission accomplished. I love traveling and I figured that this book would be good insight into where I would fit in best because I am a generally happy person.
Even though the book is was written by a self proclaimed grump I really enjoyed how each place was highlighted for their strengths and done quite well I might add. There wasn't one place that was visited that the silver lining didn't become apparent. Speaking of places visited, it was quite a list that included: The Netherlands, Switzerland, Bhutan, Qatar, Iceland, Moldova, Thailand, Great Britain, India and America. As you can see happiness is found in some very unique places.
Another thing I loved about this book was that it included many studies that support how humans find happiness and how bad we are at really knowing what happiness looks like to us. For example, did you know that the more choice we have regarding mundane things the less likely we are to be happy? Being a psych student this really floated my ferry. I am not sure how the non-psych reader would take all this information but my best guess is that the way in which it is slipped into each chapter isn't all that annoying and actually pretty interesting. Weiner (hehe) wrote the book in a really easy to read way, almost as though he is having a conversation with the reader.
Overall I recommend this book to kick off your summer reading for those of you that want a little more meat than a chick lit and a little less cerebral straining that some of the classics may give you.
The Ped Egg
Well folks I have found one that works...behold the Ped Egg!
The Back story:
I was sitting at home and I saw this advertisement on tv. Naturally I was intrigued. It is common knowledge that dancers have pretty nasty feet-I am no exception. Whenever I go get pedicures they never sand down my heels enough. (Ew that last sentence grossed me out-sorry about that).
So back to the Ped Egg.
I exercised some restraint and did not order the Ped Egg (gasp). But then as fate would have it, Erin bought the Ped Egg and raved about it. I then decided that I must have one! Erin offered to buy one for me because they had them at the Rite Aid by her work.
A couple weeks later Erin and I met up in the Whole Foods parking lot and I said "You got the stuff?" Erin nodded and handed me the Ped Egg in a plastic Rite Aid bag. It felt like we were doing something scandalous, but then I tossed the Ped Egg in my car and we went into Whole Foods and had some lunch-so much for walking on the wild side.
So anyway....(it's hard for me to focus this morning).
You know when you get into bed and your feet are rough and scaly and they scrape on your sheets? Just me? Well if you have the same problem the Ped Egg solves it! My feet have never been so soft! And what's even better is that I can do it whenever I want and not have to pay for a pedicure.
I would have posted before and after pictures but I didn't want you guys to get grossed out.
My only negative comment about the Ped Egg is that you might want to do it alone because it will absolutely gross the bystander out. I sat down and started to use the Ped Egg and I thought that Jon was going to barf on the carpet; "oh that is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen! Please stop it you are literally grating your feet like cheese!"
So spare your loved ones and use this foot grater by yourself.
Update: No, it does not hurt to use.
Aaaand the Ped Egg can be yours for the low price of $9.99!!
Do you have a Ped Egg?
Have you ever bought an infomercial product?
I Love Everybody And Other Atrocious Lies
The book of short stories, "I Love Everybody (and Other Atrocious Lies)" not only fed my appetite for a well written book but it also made me guffaw in agreement-many times.
Laurie Notaro is probably the funniest writer I have everencountered. Being a (part time) loudmouth girl myself, I can appreciate her frustration at some everydayoccurrences, such as people that walk in the middle of grocery store isles at the pace of snails. However my loudmouth moments are usually awkward . Luckily for Laurie and her readers, her loudmouth moments result in overwhelming hilarity.
I recommend this book for everyone that enjoys laughing (that should be all of you no?). Really, truly, do yourself a favor and pick this book up.
Blik Decals
They have many fun styles and seemed really easy to apply and were fairly inexpensive-score! So we placed our order and about a month later we received our decals. Even though we were pretty peeved that the decals took forever to arrive we were still really excited to put them up on our wall.
We thought the responsible thing to do would be to draw a diagram of where we wanted the decals to go. The top drawing is mine; we obviously have different visions of what we wanted.
The handy decals can be compared to a large fake tattoo. Once on the wall they look as though they have been hand painted!And when you are ready to take them off they peel off just as easy as they were put on!
And then viola!!!
Bridget Jone's Diary
Overall I was pretty darn pleased with the book. I was a little hesitant to read the book since I have seen the movie already; I usually like to do it the other way around.
The only thing I can complain about is that at the onset of the book I was distracted by the thought :"Who has this much time to write in a diary". I got over this hurdle by equating her diary to a blog and then suddenly it all made so much sense.
It was a really quick and easy read yet quite enjoyable. Reading the book can give you more insight to the characters in the movie, with a mother like Bridget's it is easy to see why she turned out so neurotic. Also, the book ends quite differently which was a nice little surprise!
Three Cups Of Tea
Inspired by the children Greg promised to build them a school house. This was a very bold promise for a man that had nothing but a mere storage shed to return to in the United States. Greg's dedication to the children of this village resulted in a five room school house with supplies for the children to begin/continue their education. This was just the beginning of what unfolds to be an incredibly inspiring and fascinating story.
To date Greg has built over 50 schools in various parts of the world. He has come in contact with rebel groups that are against little girls going to school, are not accepting of help from Americans and various other issues. But no matter how high the odds stacked against Greg he always persevered and kept the well being of the children in the forefront of his mind.
I am really just skimming the surface of this book. I am failing to mention the romance, intrigue, danger and many other themes that run in and out of Mortenson's journeys. This is a really easy and quick read and I found myself not wanting to put it down many times. If you are needing a reminder of how resilient children are or how pure the human spirit can really be, this is the book for you.
If you can't tell already I absolutely recommend it!
The Virgin's Lover
If you are pretty sure that I have had this book under the "currently reading" section of the sidebar for nearly three months-you would be correct. I think the combination of having the worst cold in my personal history, moving, and starting school all at once had something to do with the excessive time I took in finishing this book.
The novel begins in the first days of Queen Elizabeth's reign. At the time she is a virginal, optimistic and naive new queen; that is until she meets Robert Dudley, a debonair man of the court. Robert catches the new Queen's eye and the attraction is instantaneous. Elizabeth sees Robert as a strapping, attractive young man and while Robert was equally attracted, he saw Elizabeth as an opportunity to enhance his family's tarnished name.
But there is one catch: Robert is married.
The scandal doesn't stop there but I will because I don't want to ruin the story for you.
Regardless of the book's fascinating plot, it is a very slow story. I would have to say that the plot didn't pick up until somewhere around the 200th page. Once you hit 200 the story picks up and then after a hundred pages it slows down again for about fifty pages and then really picks it up for the last fifty...yes, that is right four hundred pages.
I recommend this book if you are patient or if you love Gregory's writing style. If you have never read a Philippa Gregory book I strongly recommend "The Other Boleyn Girl" before this book.
Robert Le Heros Personal Planners
I was first attracted to this planner because of the pretty exterior. Most planners look a "little too business" for my style. I want the function of a strictly business planner but I didn't want it to look boring. The exterior is soft and "leathery" but as far as I know it is not made of leather. I love the silhouettes of the delicate flowers as well as the lady bug detail in the bottom lefthand corner. There is a bright orange elastic strap to make sure the planner stays shut which is handy because I throw the planner in my purse and back pack quite frequently.
The inside of the planner has seven days split between a two page spread. Each day is divided up by the hour which at first I thought it would be a little too detail oriented but now I love being able to assign a time to the various things I have to do throughout the week.
If you are looking for a planner that is both Sensible and Sassy ;) I highly recommend this planner!

Preserve Toothbrushes
The Preserve products are made out of recycled yogurt cups. They are also fun products because of the looks that people give you when you exclaim "I have a recycled toothbrush!" The toothbrushes have a nice little arch so that you can reach all of your pearly whites with ease and they come in boxes with holes so that it can that can double as a travel case.
I have also used the Preserve razors as well. I do not recommend the razors as highly as the toothbrushes because they aren't as friendly to the user. Thr razors are not infused with aloe nor do they have a fancy handle like most razors do these days. If you are new to shaving your legs, or you are often caught shaving your legs in a hurry, the Preserve razors have the potential to slice you up. I speak from experience. Very painful experience.
If you want to pick up your own tooth brush or razors, you can pick them up at either Trader Joe's or Whole Foods.
I do enjoy the earth friendly aspect of the Preserve company and I am eager to try out the plates, utensils etc.
Do you have a product, book, movie etc. you would like me to review? If so send me an email:email@example.com
The 50 Greatest Love Letters of All Time
I love this book because it shows a variety of love letters throughout history and from multiple sources. For example, there is a love letter from Mozart to his wife Constanze, President Regan to his wife Nancy, and even a fan letter to Elvis Presley from a young admirer. Each love letter is prefaced with a historical background of the writer and receivers of the love letters. If you are a history dork like myself, you will appreciate the historical background because it give you a fuller picture of the life and times of the lesser known lovers.
You have to admit it, romance (in the grand scheme of things) isn't what it used to be. I personally think that technology might have nudged out the old practice of writing doting love letters. Nowadays, you can "shoot an e-mail" to the one you adore whenever you feel; back then people would be separated by long distances for months at a time-therefore the letter had to really drive home the point of how much you love your spouse. Infact, the only downside I can forsee is that you might be tempted to look at your significant other with a sidways glance that says,"why don't you write sonnets to me like American General, George Custer?"
Official Book Review Scale
The watermelon is the ultimate rating that a book can receive. Books that receive a watermelon rating have characters that practically step off of the page and a plot that keeps you guessing. Watermelon rated books also have the power to change the reader in some way after reading them, there is a part of the story that stays with them long after the book is finished.
Peaches step up the ratings a notch. Peaches are known for their juicy nature. Books that are rated as peaches are informative with a fairly strong plot and mostly believable characters. But there is still something fairly predictable about the peach.
An apple rating is a very respectable rating. This is obviously one step up from the relaxed rating of a raspberry. A book that gets an apple rating is more complex than it's previous ratings and in a sense has more to offer. Even though the apple rating is considered "middle of the road", in no way does that mean the book is mediocre. An apple rating is respectable because the book manages to contain substance and the ever so illusive "juice" I refer to.
A raspberry rating is appropriate for light reading, such as "chick lit". These books have enough zest to keep the reader interested but aren't the juiciest book you have ever read. Raspberry rated books are enjoyable and quickly finished because of their lack of complexity-but again, still enjoyable reads.
Anthropolgie Mugs
Not only do they look darling (and uhh, "masculine" for Jon's), they work really well too! When I asked Jon how his mug conducted heat and he told me that he drinks his coffee too fast to notice. But I can attest that my tea cup conducts heat very well. I have microwaved water in the cup and the handle was not hot to the touch when I went to take it out and it kept my tea warm. Another nice feature of both cups is that they are much bigger than usual coffee/tea cups but still maintain the style of the daintier cups. The coffee cup and the tea cup are also dishwasher safe. I definitely recommend both the coffee mug and the tea cup for a gift for someone else or for yourself. Here are some more "head shots" of each of the mugs.
Stone Bath Mat
Said mat:
When it arrived it was heavier than I expected...waaaay heavier. Also, when I opened the box there was a picture of the mat being used outside and no mention of it being an indoor product (but remember, that's how it was advertised)But I loved the way it looked in our bathroom, see:
Everyone worried it would be uncomfortable but truthfully it wasn't that bad, it felt like getting out of the shower and into a river. But it did not absorb-at all. After a few days of soaking our bathroom floor, Jon and I made the hard decision that the bath mat must go back.
The customer service rep was very accommodating to us. We should get a full refund-in 1 to 2 months. I am still a little apprehensive about sending it back because it looks so very chic in the bathroom. But I guess form is supposed to follow function for a reason. I don't recommend this product for indoor use and I highly suggest that CB2 doesn't either.
The Emperor's Children
The Emperor's Children was difficult to get into though. The characters were interesting from the very beginning, however, the amount of run on sentences drove me nuts! It seemed as though every other sentence was never ending and it truly distracted me. At one point I stopped reading the book for content, but instead I read it on a hunt for run-ons.
Run on sentences aside, the characters were easy to get to know because they seemed very raw and real; comparable to people you might actually meet. I found the characters charming at first. I also felt that the character development was very similar to the writing style of J.D. Salinger (Catcher in the Rye, Franny and Zooey). These characters were flawed and complex. But as the novel went on the interest in their imperfections waned and they became slightly annoying. I began thinking to myself, "Everyone has issues, make a choice, grow from it!" But I guess that it is not that simple. And I guess that is a sign of good writing, because the author created characters so real that they actually annoyed me. So kudos there I guess
The book ended without a clear cut ending which leads me to believe that there is more in store for these characters in another book. Overall, the book kept my interest while simultaneouslyannoying me.
Nars Blushes
The two blushes pictured below are Orgasm (left) (the name alone will make you blush) and Exhibit A (right).
Orgasm is a color that will work on anyone! I have seen this blush on fair skinned people, dark skinned people like myself, and many different hair colors and it looks amazing on everyone. Orgasm gives your cheek the "oh my gosh he's so cute and he's looking at me" blush. There are also a subtle gold sheen that brings out your inner goddess/sun worshiper. And I cannot stress it enough, this color looks amazing on all skin types!!
Exhibit A is a color that was recommended to me because I have somewhat darker skin. I am super conscious of the amount of sun that touches my face-I don't want to look like a leather bag by the time I hit my 30's. Anyway, even though I am the lighter side of dark, this blush is amazing. I had trouble finding a color similar to this one in powder form. Most blushes were in that solid stick, which usually ended up looking streaky or freakishly dark. But Exhibit A is a great color because it gives your skin the look of wind stung cheeks or that rosy glow that a workout would give you. Now I'm not sure but I think this color might be a little overwhelming for lighter skin tones.
The sleek and sophisticated packaging is a plus as well. No matter how dirty your makeup drawer/bag is (I know mine is), NARS products seem to class up the joint quite a bit. I am so pleased with NARS made blushes that I don't anticipate using any others for a while.I highly suggest these as gifts for the girl that has everything. I find that blush is highly over looked, but can make such a difference when the right one is selected. The only glitch is that at $25 each, they are somewhat expensive-but in my opinion, so very worth it. If you aren't in sticker shock click here to check out NARS and their collection of beautiful blushes.

Into The Wild
Jon Krakauer did an amazing job at compiling the fascinating story of Chris McCandless. Krakauer showed a very sane and human side to a young man that people were quick to call reckless, insane or just plain ignorant. Yes, having the idea to live in the wild of Alaska does set you apart from most, but as Krakauer's defends, by no means does that make you insane. To be quite honest, I couldn't help but take my psych background for a spin and look for a little pathology influencing this young man. It is one thing to be sick of societies norms, such as McCandless was, but it is an entirely different thing to cut off society completely. So yes, I too thought that Chris was "not all there" for making the decision that he did, which eventually cost him his life. However, after reading the book I am not so quick to judge.
Here is a quote from Krakauer about how he can identify with McCandless's urge to live a different life:
"It is easy, when you are young, to believe that what you desire is no less than what you deserve, to assume that if you want something bad enough, it is your God-given right to have it."
The great thing that Krakauer helped me understand is that some people need to have the sort of life that challenges them daily. For some people it is not enough to live the American dream. In order to find meaning and worth in life, some find it essential to tango on the edge of life and death; each time they defeat death they feel more alive. Krakauer supports this hypothesis by giving numerous examples of people that defied social norms and went into the wild. Sometimes the stories are examples of being ill prepared and sometimes they inspired me to think about how I would like to live my own life a little differently. Granted, I can say with quite a bit of certainty that I would not want to live in those extreme situations but I would like to slow down, listen a little more carefully, enjoy things I already have as they are at this moment instead of worrying about what I want. Even though Chris did take a journey that cost him his life, he lived with a vigor that very few people reach, he had a dream and he lived it.
"Unlike most of us, he was he sort of person who insisted on living out his beliefs" -Quote from a woman that spoke with Chris as he was en route to Alaska.
Even though he did follow his dream, he left a lot of people heart broken when he passed away. Namely, his family was obviously distraught at the loss of Chris; but the book points out that they were not the only ones to be affected by his death. Before reaching Alaska, Chris traveled all across the United States, meeting people and sharing his story with all he met. Krakauer interviews many of the people that shared a moment in time with Chris and all seemed to be profoundly touched by his presence. My take from the book is that each person that Chris met along the way benefited from this young boy's dream; however, I also think that at the end of his life these people taught Chris just how important human relationships are.

The Dragons of Chiril is a story of a girl who lost her father many years ago, only to discover that he is still alive. Unfortunately, he needs three of his statues in order to return for good, and she sold them long ago to keep her mother and she alive. She and her father, as well as a wizard and his librarian, four minor dragons, a great parrot, an artist, and a dragon keeper head out on a quest for these three statues. During the duration of the quest however, it becomes apparent that this quest is about more than just statues. It is about a belief in an unseen God.
This book is the first book I have ever read by Donita K. Paul, and I must admit it is well written. The story was slow in the beginning, but picked up the pace soon after. Although I never got truly wrapped up in the story, it is one I would recommend to someone who wants to try something new. The bit about Wulder (the God of this world), I felt left much to be desired. It gives little hints throughout and then ends abruptly as soon as I felt like the message was getting through. Other than this, the book was well written. I do look forward to trying her other dragon novels.
This book was reviewed for Blogging for Books.

Last night, at one of the many parties that fill the Christmas season with Leo's family (seriously, there was one year where we had 14 parties on the 12 days of Christmas), there were crackers.
This made me cheerful. Not because I like crispy breadstuffs, but because I like festive explosives with paper hats.
And so does Margaret.
Ellie was more interested in ripping them up, but that is only to be expected of someone of her age and station.
Someone at our table told Margaret that she was a princess, and she said "Now, I'm a King!" My heart melted.

Memory Map is a New Way of Showing What is Taking Up Storage on Your Android Device
For a long time, we've been looking at which apps and what sort of content use up the storage on our device's in the same old way, that being the age old file explorer look and feel that's been carried over from Desktop PCs. A lot of users simply head on over to their system settings, which on Android isn't the most helpful way of showing you which app or game takes up the most. Or at least it isn't that helpful to those that don't know how many megabytes are in a gigabyte, at least. Memory Map is a fresh look on how much data certain apps and content take up on your device.
The app shows data usage through a map of sorts, giving larger chunks of data more room in the map. My memory map for instance is mostly taken up by the photos still on my device, this is represented by the 100ANDRO folder which is Android's strange way of labelling its camera storage. Taking a look elsewhere at my memory map I managed to see that thumbnails from Dropbox were taking up roughly 350MB or so, I no longer need these and I was able to remove them through the app. It's a refreshing way of interacting with the data on your Android smartphone or tablet, and it's nice and obvious to those not so tech savvy. If a folder is taking up more space on your SD card or internal storage, then it's given more space on your memory map, which is much easier for the average user to understand.
The app is free to download, with ads that are removable should you choose to pay a small fee. You can manipulate data here as well, you can delete large chunks and you can also get more info on how many files are within a folder and how much space exactly it's using up. It's a refreshingly simple look at how content like photos and videos are taking up space on your device. You can take a closer look in the gallery below and download Memory Map for yourself here.
