It'll be I think more of the same here as Tottori Jyouhoku and Kumamoto Kougyou do battle under the blazing sun.
Both teams won their prefecutral tournaments without much trouble with the exception of one game, and both teams did not really mercy rule their opponents. Given their prefecture of origin I think it probably hurts Tottori Jyouhoku more, but that will be seen on the field.

10:44 - First Pitch!
Top 1st
Tanaka starts off the game with a ball the opposite way into left. And while the bunt defense looks a little shaky, they get Hirayama out at 1st.
Yamashita is an average pitcher at best with a fastball that just ticks over 130 and a slider in the mid 110s, along with a curve and changeup supposedly.
Abe figts off acouple, but winds up chopping one to short. Tanaka advances to 3rd. That brings up Moriguchi.
But Yamashita induces a grounder to short and the inning is over.
Bottom 1st
Sakai announces Kumamoto Kougyou's appearance with a ball to deep left center! Tanaka chases it, but it lands at the base of the wall for a double!
Yamamoto with the bunt, Uehara quickly fields it, throws to 3rd... and Yamada can't hold onto the low throw... all safe! It's called an E5, but I wonder if it's an E1 or no E at all... Either way now Kumamoto Kougyou has a big threat early!
But Nishiyama can't capitalize! He pops up to Abe just outside the infield dirt for the first out.
Kudou though delivers! He rips one through to left and Kumamoto Kougyou takes the quick 1-0 lead!
Uehara also looks like another "ace" on the mound. Low-mid 130s fastball, and ah....
A slider in the mid 110s that just hit Takaki to load the bases for Horita.
Hayashi-kantoku calls for the squeeze and Horita just reaches out to foul it off! But now he's behind 1-2 and has to swing away.
Grounder to short! Hirayama goes to Abe for one, toss to Moriguchi... beats a diving Horita for the inning ending double play! Uehara gets out of the jam with just 1 run against him - he should feel fortunate.
Top 2nd
Torikai thinks he has ball 4, but Yamashita paints the inside corner for strike 3. Yamada, not wanting to be caught looking silly watching a pitch, instead looks silly chasing a ball outside for another K.
Noma (who isn't on the rosters I found online), must be a good addition - at least to start - lining a single to center.
But Tottori Jyouhoku's batters can't seem to pull the trigger as Uehara watches a fastball go by for yet another K. 3 K's for Yamashita this inning, and his control looks very good to start this game.
Bottom 2nd
Uehara is also featuring a curve in the low 100s and a sinker in the 110s. He can't seem to locate any of them as he walks Matsushita to start the 2nd.
Yamashita shows bunt late and successfully lays it down up the 3rd base side. Runner in scoring position for last batter Honda.
Uehara struggling with control still, hits Honda to turn over the lineup. Meanwhile, the Kumamoto Kougyou ouen-dan is playing a song I hear from Narashino... Not as good, but ah... soothes the soul.
Back to the game, and Sakai hits another gapper to left center for yet another double. This time it scores Matsushita...
And knocks Uehara out of the game. Or at least to right. #10 Fukuiwa comes in for RF Noma to take the hill while Uehara shifts to RF.
Fukuiwa doesn't throw hard either (high 120s), but his 3/4 delivery for way on the first base side sweeps across and gets Yamamoto to chase for the 2nd out.
And Nishiyama hits a grounder up the 1st base line that Sakai smothers and takes to the bag for the 3rd out. But Kumamoto Kougyou hangs another run up on the board.
Top 3rd
Well, Tottori Jyouhoku trying to size up Yamashita just can't. 9-1-2 go in order, all with weak groundouts.
Bottom 3rd
Fukuiwa just hung a fastball right in the middle of the zone and cleanup batter Kudou blasts it out to left for a no-doubter. 3-0 Kumamoto Kougyou. Guess it may not be close after all.
Takaki follow up with a single back up the middle and it's got to be red alert time for Tottori Jyouhoku (if it wasn't earlier).
Oh boy....
Bunt back to Fukuiwa, throws to 2nd, but it's high and into center. Everyone's safe. Now Matsushita's bunt puts both runners in scoring position for Yamashita.
But Yamashita hits it right back to Fukuiwa who has Takaki out of position at 3rd. He's run down and we reset the runners with 2 outs for Honda.
And while you do walk the runner with 1st base open, in this case it was probably unwarranted as now Sakai steps in again. Another double and the lead may be doubled. Worse part is there's nowhere to put him.
But Fukuiwa finally retires Sakai! He hits a grounder to 2nd and the inning is over with just the HR.
Top 4th
One down for Tottori and Moriguchi hits a ball back up the middle. Nishiyama tries the leaping throw back to 1st, but it pulls Sakai off the bag.
However, Torikai proceeds to ground into a tailor-made 4-6-3 double play and the inning is quickly over.
Bottom 4th
Yamamoto gets his first hit with a ball back up the middle. Nishiyama bunts him along for cleanup batter Kudou.
Fukuiwa wants nothing to do with Kudou and walks him to bring up Takaki. He puts a charge into one, but Tanaka is able to run it down in deep left center for the 2nd out. Yamamoto advances to 3rd.
Fukuiwa, though with still some difficulty, finally puts a bagel on the board as Horita hits a comebacker to end the inning.
Top 5th
Still, they trail by 3 and they need the bats to get going.
One down, and Fukuiwa hits a comebacker off of Yamashita's foot and into center for a base hit. He's fine and will continue.
For the 2nd straight inning though, Tottori Jyouhoku grounds into a DP. This time Uehara goes back to Yamashita who starts the 1-6-3 DP to end the inning.
Bottom 5th
It's a tough slog for Fukuiwa and Tottori Jyouhoku. He manages to put another 0 on the board, and is helped out a bit because despite 2 batters going full on him, he also gets first pitch outs.
Well, we're at the break and it's been all Kumamoto Kougyou. Tottori Jyohoku will need to adjust to Yamashita somehow, or else it'll be futility until the end.
Top 6th
Tomoki trying to help the team in any way possible, but is punched out by home plate umpire Doi on a ball inside. The top of the order rolls over after that on 2 straight pitches and the side is quickly retired.
Bottom 6th
Changes for Tottori Jyouhoku. #9 Takada comes in for Tomoki and takes over in LF.
And Fukuiwa just cannot get a clean inning, though to be fair it was Kudou who hit a laser to right center for a double. Otherwise, the Kumamoto batters chased balls at the edges of the zone and were easily retired.
Top 7th
The game is really humming along in terms of speed - which isn't good for Tottori Jyouhoku as they're down to their final 3 innings.
But Tottori Jyouhoku's batters are just not making hard contact - just weak contact. Torikai debunks that, but its a 2-out single past a scampering Kudou into left.
After a conference call from Hayashi-kantoku, Yamada puts one past Horita for a base hit! Still, there's 2 outs and RP Fukuiwa is at bat.
He's got a good eye and good discipline as he works the count full after falling behind.
Ball the opposite way up the 3rd base line... Fair!! It's past a diving Kudou and into left! Torikai comes in to score on the single and Tottori Jyouhoku is one the board at 3-1!
Looking to build on that, #14 Mankin comes in to hit for Uehara as Fukuiwa is doing a good job in relief. But Yamashita gets him to grounds out to 2nd to end the inning!
Fukuiwa keeping the team in it on both sides of the ball, knocks a run off the deficit.
Bottom 7th
#13 Miura comes in for PH Mankin and takes over in RF.
Horita with a ball to deep right center, Tanaka running it down makes a great leaping catch for the first out. Fukuiwa sets himself up for a 1-2-3 innning... but that's spoiled when Yamashita collects his first hit back up the middle past Hirayama. That's compounded when Honda is hit for the 2nd time today, flipping the lineup back to Sakai...
But Sakai decides to swing at a slow curve and flies out to right to end the inning. Yet another donut put up on the board as Tottori Jyouhoku tries to mount a late game rally.
Top 8th
Considering how they hit last inning, this inning may be key to see if they have figured out Yamashita.
Takada up for his first AB is a bit behind, as he hits a fly ball to center for out #1.
But Tanaka does have Yamashita's number now! He lines one to left center that splits the defense! He's rounding 2nd, going for 3rd... throw in... SAFE!! He slides around the tag and is in with a triple!
Hirayama with a ball up the 3rd base line! THAT'S FAIR down the line!! Tanaka scores and Hirayama is being sent to 3rd... he slides in safely!! 3-2 and the douten run is 90 feet away!!
The momentum built for Tottori Jyouhoku evaporates on 1 pitch as Yamagi-kantoku calls for the squeeze, the pitch goes wide, and Hirayama is run down for the 2nd out.
Abe is called for strike 3 for offering a bunt and while Tottori Jyouhoku got one run, they could have had more...
Bottom 8th
The momentum seems to be shifting to Kumamoto Kougyou finally when Nishiyama doubles past Yamada down the 3rd base line.
But Fukuiwa bears down yet again, strikes out Kudou looking after a 6 pitch AB. And then gets Takaki to fly out to center to end the inning!
Top 9th
Despite the bad decision making in the 8th, Tottori Jyouhoku still has 3 outs to go.
Moriguchi gets things off on the right foot with a liner to right for a base hit! Yamagi immediately sacrifices the out for 90 feet.
That brings up Yamada. Hayashi-kantoku makes a defensive change, putting #13 Kiyomizu in for Takaki in LF.
Liner to 1st, caught by Sakai! Goes to 2nd, but Horita is late in covering! All Moriguchi can do is stay at 2nd though as the glue for Tottori, Fukuiwa, steps in.
And with one strike, another change. #14 Iwashita comes in for Sakai to play 1B.
Fukuiwa down to his final strike...
Grounder to short! Horita up with the ball, goes to 1st... game set!
Tottori Jyouhoku fights late, but it's not enough as Kumamoto Kougyou prevails 3-2!
Sadly, this game shows the parts of kokoyakyu I don't like. The bunt is used too excessively, and the squeeze bunt is not a surprise, but expected. You just had back-to-back triples, there's only 1 down, and instead of putting the faith in your hitters to continue, you call a squeeze that the opposition is expecting.
It fails, you lose by 1, and yet questions may not be raised because it's "expected".
Kumamoto Kougyou kept Tottori Jyouhoku in the game, and if not for the *ahem*boneheaded*ahem* decision to try the squeeze, the game may still be going.
But, this is kokoyakyu, take the bad along with the good, and Kumamoto Kougyou will advance to the next round. Fukuiwa has nothing to cry about - he like Sakatani kept his team in the game. It's just that he couldn't complete the comeback.

Next, some blue lavender transparents with trailing decoration. I found this easier than using stringers and fun to do.
Til next time, stay safe and enjoy the best things in life - lace, friends and sunshine!
The turtle is adorable, but the blue beads are my favorite! The floral piece is stunning!
I remember commenting awhile ago about your many talents, and they seem to just go on and on! You're actually making beads! Can't even imagine that! Love the ladybugs!
You should have a full book by now of tatted motifs - very impressive designs!
I can't believe you've been tatting and doing bobbin lace only since 2006. The tatted doilies you've shown are awesome! I'm afraid bobbin lace is just too intricate for me - all those pins(!) and bobbins!
Did I read correctly in your blog that you crocheted both a double-bed and single-bed bedspread, plus a baby blanket! Totally amazing!!!
Are you having good weather in Tasmania? I haven't heard of any flooding there, at least.
Nice motifs! :)

I think that everyone taking this course this semester has been innovative! It has been such a fun experience to see the different ideas that my classmates have come up with. I think that as future educators, everyone is very creative and innovative. Personally, I think that a lot of my work has been innovative. I have tried to think out-of-the-box with my work. I think that it is so fun to think of how to apply all of these projects and readings into my future classroom.
Innovative learning could look different in all classrooms with all ages. I think that innovative learning just looks like learning going on with different styles of teaching, using different techniques, and having the kids incorporate their ideas. One quote that really spoke to me from The Mindset of an Innovator was "I build upon what I already know, but I do not limit myself to myself. I am open to and willing to embrace new learning, while continually asking questions to move forward". I love this quote because it is so very true, you should teach on the foundations on information you already know, but you should also be learning the whole time while asking questions to extend your knowledge.
"Unlearning" is such an interesting concept! I actually really enjoyed reading about it, and it ended up making a lot of sense to me. An easy way of thinking about it, to me, is to kinda forget how you originally learned to think about something, and think about it in your own sense.. without boundaries. This semester, I unlearned to do schoolwork for grades rather than for learning. In other words, I learned that doing the work should be to get something out of it. You shouldn't just go through the motions of schoolwork to receive A's, you should do it to get something out of it. I am going to school to learn how to teach, not to get A's.
One of the best quotes from the article The Steep "Unlearning Curve" was "We need to unlearn the premise that we know more than our kids, because in many cases, they can now be our teachers as well". I think this quote is so great. People don't realize how much kids have to offer! You can learn so much by listening to a little ones. These were great articles to end this semester with.

Coming of Age (Metaphor)
Tangerine is a story that reflects a young boy's development as he goes from being afraid of his evil brother to having no fear at all in the face of Erik's threats. He also goes from not knowing how to speak the truth, to being freed from the lies of his family by bravely calling out Erik's violence of what it is. In this way, the story can be seen as a metaphor for Paul's coming-of-age and loss of innocence.
Vision and Blindness (Metaphor)
Paul's near-blindness is a central part of the story. But while he is deemed legally blind, Paul can see better than anyone else what is happening around him. Vision, in Tangerine, is about more than just seeing surfaces. it's about seeing what lies beneath the surfaces.
Sports Culture (Metaphor)
There's a clear difference in Tangerine between football and soccer. This difference acts as a critical metaphor for the difference between two different spirits of competition and sports culture. While football is an aggressive sport, often described in the novel for its violence and ugliness, soccer is described by Paul for its beauty and cohesion. While football is the actual source of violence and lies in the novel, soccer is the sport that brings people together.
Class Division (Metaphor)
The tensions between the two communities in Tangerine are a metaphor broader tensions between communities of different classes. As we see the families of Tangerine mistrust the families of Lake Windsor and as we see the Lake Windsor families discriminate against the Tangerine families, we see the ways that class difference divides people generally.
Family Bond (Metaphor)
There are different things that hold families together in Tangerine, some more superficial that others. The Cruz family, and the people of Tangerine town in general, show strong loyalty to their families. They are not only devoted to the family business, but they also stand up for each other by physically taking revenge. The poorer, working families of Tangerine are united by their poverty. In Lake Windsor things are different. It's the appearance of wealth and sterile middle class perfection that hold the families together—though not very well. The Fisher family is also united around Erik's football stardom. But this doesn't go very deep—as Erik turns out to be not much of a star and his personality is sociopathic and cruel. Thus the various degrees of family bonds act as a metaphor for the various levels of superficiality and depth in human society at large.

We should have called him "Clown"
Last night I thought we'd change things up a bit. I haven't been able to find a thing that this horse reacts to negatively yet. Well, except for the tying episode. As soon as I get my brand-new 6x6 post in the ground and the concrete dries, we'll have another go at it.
Ropes following him on the ground, wrapped around his body or looped across his haunches don't phase him. Plastic bags...no issue. Even me standing next to him with a pair of pool noodles and rubbing them all over his body and bouncing them off him...no adverse reaction. Dressage whips and lunge whips, whatever. He goes over poles and logs without issue. Today I think I'll get the tarp out and get him to walk across it and stand on it and maybe even see if he'll tolerate it over his body. The more I desensitize him, the more he looks to me as his fearless leader.
Last night his playful side just couldn't be contained. I decided it was time for him to start really feeling like he was "working." So, out comes the saddle pad and my heavy-duty surcingle. Yes, he is saddle broke, but on the racetrack, when the saddle goes on, it's time to RUN! I need to change that mentality a step at a time so when I finally do get on he doesn't feel like he's going to the starting gate.
I tossed the saddle pad up and turned to grab the surcingle. In the two seconds it took me to pick it up, the big booger reached around, grabbed the saddle pad in his teeth, flung it around for a bit and dropped it on the ground. He looked at me with his ears perked as if asking "Again?" Pick up the pad, toss it back on. He reaches around and pulls it off again, playing with it for a few seconds before dropping it to the ground at my feet. Ha! The third time I tossed it up there I had the surcingle in my hand and put it on top of the pad immediately. But the surcingle still needs buckled on. I reach under him to grab the girth and the whole thing disappeared! He had reached around to the other side to grab the surcingle and pull it off, too! Flexibility? Yeah, he's got it. Two more attempts and I had the pad and the surcingle snugly in place. No issues. I think he just wanted to play. He didn't seem to resent or dislike having the pad and surcingle on, he just wanted to play.
So, the second "new" thing I had planned was a faux ditch between two cavaletti poles. I had set it up using an old, deflated air mattress. I like the nice, heavy plastic of the air mattress because it doesn't blow or "crinkle" in the wind. Plus, I'm all for re-purposing old stuff whenever I can.
Anyway, I took him over to my new ditch to let him sniff it and get a good look at it before I asked him to go over it. Wouldn't you know it...he quickly found the edge of it, grabbed it, and pulled it out from beneath the cavaletti poles! He waved it around a bit and tossed it. I positioned it back under the poles. This was not going to be an issue for him, not at all. He didn't bat an eye when I asked him to go over it. I expected him to jump over it, but apparently he had other plans. He trotted right on top of it as if it wasn't even there. I managed to get him to jump it twice without sticking a foot in the middle of my ditch. Next time I'll add a bit of water to it and see what he does.
Bravery is NOT an issue with this horse!
We ended our 45 minute session with a bit more saddle pad work. I flicked it all over his body, around his legs, over his neck and finally draped it over his head. He seemed quite embarrassed to have this huge white pad perched over his head like a silly hat. He looked at me as if to say "Okay, are we done playing dress-up now? I feel like an idiot and the other horses are all laughing at me. Give me some dignity woman!"
Today we haul out the tarp, an umbrella and a bike. I'm also going to set a couple of the cavaletti up to about a foot, just to see how he reacts. Tomorrow I'm going to pull out some of the huge bleach bottles I've been saving (again with the re-purposing!) and place them at random intervals around the arena because tomorrow, we start the long reining work. I'll use the bleach bottles as guides to long rein him around and through. This should be fun! I did a lot of long reining work with Star and with a few other horses I've worked with in the past. With Star I took a few long reining lessons with a classical dressage instructor who had once trained with the Cadre Noir in France and we got to the point where we could do half-passes, walk and trot pirouettes and a tiny bit of piaffe, all on the long reins. I believe it's a great way to introduce new ideas to a horse before you ask for it in the saddle.
I'll try to remember my camera next time, or at least employ one of my family members to shoot the session.

It sure sounds like both you and Gabe are having lots of fun. Gabe does sound like he is full of the devil. One great horse, enjoy.ReplyDelete
You know, the cowboy actor, Slim Pickens had an appaloosa that did that thing with his saddle blanket and the horse and the gimmick was used in a couple of films. If i can think of 'em, i'll let you know.ReplyDelete
Too bad we don't live closer to one another. It'd be fun to trade horses for a day. You seem to know more about what you are doing in the desensitization, and my horses need to be desensitized more than Gabe.ReplyDelete
grma f...he's pretty awesome. Robert has accused me of being "smitten." Of course, I call Gabe my new "boyfriend" and Robert just laughs.ReplyDelete
Saddle Mountain Rider...It would be kind of fun to try to teach him to do it on cue, but I'm afraid he'll think he can do it ALL the time and I'd never get that booger saddled!
Nuzzling Muzzles...I've dealt with many, many highly sensitive horses and they are all different in what makes them go off the deep end. You are doing all the right things, it will just take time. I've been really lucky with Gabe so far, he's just so trusting and curious, more than any Thoroughbred I've ever dealt with. I'm being very careful to preserve those qualities in him, which is why we are going slowly.
If you haven't read "Become Perfect Partners" by Kelly Marks, I highly recommend it. It really helps owners learn how to "get inside" the heads of their horses to figure out why they respond and react the way they do. Some of the things are so obvious that you kind of go "well, I can't believe I didn't realize that sooner! DUH."

Crack-Off Part Deux
So we had another crack-off while my parents were here. I don't think they care so much about winning; they just really enjoy decorating the eggs. And I love to see the designs they come up with. Every year my Dad's eggs end up in the top three spots. This year was no different, although I actually tied him for first place. The winners were Fire & Frost (middle row, second egg from the left) and Let's go bananas! (middle egg on the bottom row). We have basically given up on dying the eggs (too messy) and now we just use permanent marker. Maybe I will dye them again next year with the kids.
The Neilsen's were able to attend this crack-off to defend Eric's reigning champion status, but he lost, to my Dad. But we still had a great time and I look forward to a year where I might actually win.
p.s. Hadlock's--we used to do this tradition with you. Maybe we could actually get together again next year.

I am always so impressed by the creations everyone comes up with in decorating their eggs! Sounds like it was a good time! I wish we could have been there! I forgot to tell you when I talked to you today that we didn't end up getting to go to the CPR class either! I found out when I called Thursday afternoon to get directions that it was a two part class, one class tuesday, one thursday! I was so ticked! It wasn't on the schedule that way when I signed up! Luckily they gave us our money back. I thought it would be pointless to go to only half the class so we didn't go. Bummer huh?! Sorry we missed out on the crack off! Thanks for the invite anyway!

As I have been reading about the crack off I have to admit I really missed it this year! Next year for sure!

'Anonymous' letter from a senior Breitbart editor
Satirical letter addressed to Milo Yiannopoulos after his resignation from editorial position.
February 22, 2017
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Dear Milo Yiannopoulos,
I've been thinking about what you've been saying — a lot — and I do think that you definitely crossed the line when you spoke in favor of sexual relationships between underage boys and older, "consenting" men.
You argue, "I think it particularly happens in the gay world, by the way, in many cases those relationships with old men… this is one of the reasons I hate the left, this one size fits all policing of culture, this arbitrary and oppressive idea of consent which totally destroys the understanding that many of us have the complexities and subtleties and complicated nature of many relationships," according to a Monday article by The Daily Beast.
You have left many of us editors here at Breitbart shaken and confused. But I think that conservatives are missing out on a wealth of pleasure and satisfaction when they dismiss the idea of brotherhood. The focus on the "gay" label is conflating well-rounded, quality fraternal support with promiscuous, radical queerness, and these are not one in the same.
After all, what is the glorious alt-right without all of its beautiful boys? Brotherhood is what ignites this movement, it is the lube that keeps our gears moving. Collectively, our biceps and boners are the most irresistible rhetoric — infiltrating everything from womb to White House.
Any civilized man such as yourself understands the importance, the necessity of the preservation of history. You, with your Greek bloodline, might have a particular pederastic inclination — but how could we forget the greatest accomplishments ancient Europeans made for the modern state?
The identity of our European brotherhood should be celebrated in all it's erotic glory. Our fellow fraternities lead by example with their drunken college debauchery. According to End Rape on Campus, an organization that provides support for rape victims and spreads education to campuses and communities, fraternities are seen as very "dangerous places for women," and their members are three times more likely to commit rape than unaffiliated counterparts.
But listen, all this talk about diddling kids and Father Michael distracts us from the important things: the need for outreach that is passed on from generation to generation. All of these liberal activists are stealing all of our young men and turning our breeders into fierce intersectional feminists.
The left is throwing around terms like "rape," and "sexual assault," groups like EROC claim to protect girls on campus, but they are really just luring them into dangerous lesbian sex dens. Interdisciplinary studies are poisoning young, patriotic men who are trying to benefit the community with their fertile seed. Now more than ever, we need to stand united as, brothers and fight back against this slander that we have dealt with for far too long.
We have stood by your side this long, and applauded your misogynistic, transphobic, islamophobic and xenophobic comments, but some including Simon and Schuster are now limiting the extent of your free speech, according to The Huffington Post. You must understand the severity of the situation at this point — we can not formally reinstate you back on board. But you will leave a lasting impression in our hearts. If it is any consolation, just know your bed buddies at Breitbart will be waiting for you, biting our pillows in anticipation.
You let your tongue slip. But I'm sure you could still teach an old dog like me some new tricks, if you know what I mean. I know I was anonymous in my comments to The Washingtonian, but rest assured, I was merely taking precautions. The fate of our numbers is dependent on our secrecy. What other office takes such pride in their restroom glory holes?
We as leaders of the alt-right nation need to keep a trim, yet subtle appearance, use Richard Spencer as a model. His Nazi-youth comb over and pressed fitted suits scream macho, fascist camp — while continuing to maintain his good boy facade. Nevertheless, I'd still like to see you play dress up for me sometime.
Milo, I said I was disgusted in the aforementioned article, but really I am just jealous. You in all of your pasty, buff, english glory have paved the way for our movement. Soon we will seize pride from the homosexual drag queens, and utilize it to gain visibility.
We will fuel the fires of our fraternal friction, one promotional fleshlight at a time.

From colorful and retro feline patterns to the classic cat-eye, the cat is today's fashion muse. To celebrate cat-inspired fashion, Fancy Feast Gourmet Cat Food and celebrity fashion designer Malan Breton partnered to create an unforgettable runway show at STYLE360 New York Fashion Week.
Known for drawing inspiration from the latest design trends and fashion influences, Breton created three looks for his Spring/Summer 2014 collection based on the style, look and timeless beauty of the iconic Fancy Feast cat, a beautiful Silver Chinchilla Persian. The unmistakable, stunning beauty of the cat motivated him to showcase new design styles that unite people's love of fashion and cats.
"Fancy Feast enjoys sharing cat-inspired fashion with its fans," said Courtney Louch, Fancy Feast Assistant Brand Manager. "Partnering with Malan Breton at STYLE360 has given us the opportunity to bring cat fashion trends and looks to life for our passionate fans to experience."
Novelty details from Breton's collection include a classicly elegant black and white suit, inspired by the strength and all-knowing wisdom of the feline; a sexy and youthful knee-length dress inspired by the soft and gentle loving spirit of the cat; and a gown with a 17-foot long train, reminiscent of the unconditional love, loyalty, beauty and friendship one receives from her cat.

Day 24 - Inspired by a book, I decided to go with Marked, to be different, because my first and second choices of Twilight series or Hunger Game Series were already done more then once :)
I love the House of Night series <3 There are 10 Books I believe right now and a Fledgling Handbook 101. There are also 2 Novellas that go along with the series too. To check out the series and all that it entails check out the House of Night Series webpage.
The black nails are supposed to look like the book cover with matte and then shiny symbols over it. So I painted my nails black, then layered the NYC Matte over it, then used the Black again with the stamps :) The other 2 nails are the blue markings they get and the red markings the others get :)
Colors used are :
- Essie Mesmerize,
- Loreal Lady Luck,
- Sally Hansen Black Out,
- Julep Alyson, and
- NYC Matte Me Crazy top coat :)
XOXO..... Liz

But Henri holds a secret himself. He wants to be more to both of them.
As they attempt to make their unconventional arrangement work, Ryan's deep-seated fear of relationship failure continues to thwart everyone's happiness.

John Lloyd Cruz continues his magical streak around the metro as he sneaks into the daily routines of a lucky few to spring a one-of-a-kind surprise on them. In line with the on-going Nothing Like Magic campaign of Universal Robina Corporation's (URC) Magic Crackers, the longtime endorser takes on made-for-movie roles and brings them to life for his adoring fans.
Employees at the i-Tech Global Business Solutions in Paco, Manila were in for a treat as the leading man paid them a visit. Posing as the new intimidating supervisor, John Lloyd introduces himself as a certain Miguel Montenegro and calls out the names of three agents for a very important notice.
Consistent top performers and frequent qualifiers of the company's performance incentive program, Glady Bienvenido, Gilbert Juanites and Rodelio Arma were handpicked to share a magical moment with John Lloyd, whom awarded the deserving awardees with Robinsons gift certificates worth P15,000 each.
"Nabigla ako. Sabi ko, ano to joke? Gusto ko na matulala. Sobra," says Glady.
"Syempre nakaka-excite 'yung pagpunta ni John Lloyd at 'yung pag-award sa amin. Nakakataba talaga ng puso," shares Gilbert.
"First time ko makakuha ng ganito kalaking prize," says Ledor. "Thank you Magic and URC for continuing to appreciate 'yung mga katulad namin."
The matinee idol also dropped by the Technological Institute of the Philippines, this time under the guise of a recently hired Marine Engineering professor by the name of Miguel Gonzales. Suited up in an officer's uniform, John Lloyd surprises the students and makes a special request for third year Marine Engineering scholars and student government officers Claire Banzagales and Lynda Hernane to join him on stage.
Both girls go up the stage to meet the actor, who congratulates them for a job well done at school and hands them P25,000 worth of Robinsons gift certificates each.
"Na-shock ako kasi unexpected. Ishi-share ko 'to kasi hindi ko naman mauubos 'yung P25,000. A part of it, we will contribute to our donations for the Yolanda victims," reveals Claire.
"Nakapag-donate na kami so para sa next batch of donations naman 'to," adds Lynda. "Thank you sa Magic kasi sa dinami-dami ng students sa TIP, kami ang napili."
All Robinsons gift certificates are valid for use in all Robinsons Retail Holdings stores such as Robinsons Supermarket, Robinsons Department Store, Handyman, Toys R Us, Topshop, Warehouse, River Island, and many more.
Thanks to John Lloyd and Magic Crackers, magical moments can indeed be enjoyed outside the big screen. Like Glady, Gilbert, Rodelio, Claire and Lynda, believe that you too can experience magic when you least expect it.

This Yolanda Be Cool song, "We Speak No Americano" is a great addition to house music. It's one of those songs you can enjoy at home or get down to at the club ;) The catchy beat is what had me for this song. My bestfriend Maryam studied abroad in Italy and said this song was popular there at the time, It came on to the radio scene here about a year later. It's interesting how different countries are so ahead of us, as far as music and fashion.
I kept It casual today with my Italian inspiration. My white "C'est Chic" off the shoulder is so comfy, unlike my flats I still need to break in. My feet tend to be sensitive until a couple wears. This bright red flat I couldn't resist! Especially for under $15 at H&M. It's so fun to add some color where you least expect It.

Maplewood Public Library
This is part of a quarterly class on topics related to health and wellness.
Our bodies are designed to move, but too often our busy schedules and stress-filled days leave us exhausted and on the couch. Exercise time falls off our to-do list and our physical health slowly declines. We set ourselves up for risk of chronic disease, joint replacements, and overall lower life quality.
In this wellness talk, you'll be inspired to adopt a more active lifestyle as you learn about the four key pillars of physical health: strength, cardiovascular, flexibility, and balance. Certified personal fitness trainers and weight loss/health coaches Gayle Rose and Alison Allman will share the latest research and offer tips and strategies for adopting an active, healthy lifestyle.

Ok, I swear that it was only a few days ago that I had my weekend alone. Really, the calendar is lying when it says that my last blog post was a month ago. There is no way that it is already past Valentine's Day. No way I tell ya!
I truly don't know where the time goes. One minute I was sitting in front of "The Dog Whisperer" cutting out fabric and drooling over fabrics I wished I could afford (stalking my favorite online stores) and now here it is already a month later. A MONTH! Whew, when will live slow down?
It has been an interesting month for the Zoo. Katelynn marked the end of her first decade with us - yup, my lil' girl isn't so little any more. We will finally be able to celebrate with her friends this weekend, Katelynn requested a sleepover in a Swiss Family Robinson theme. Tomorrow we'll be making leaves and vines out of construction paper, wanna join me?
Hailey began, and finished, potty training. I've always dreaded this portion of parenting, but in true Hailey fashion she has done it her own way 100%. It only took about a week of running around in a dress, and a dress only for her to get the idea. This is actually a sad transition for me, as I still have a ton of cloth diaper supplies around, and no one to sew up any new cute fluff for. It is hilarious to see Miss Hailey running around, her itty-bitty tush covered by her big girl panties. It is hard for her to wear pants now - there isn't anything to hold them up any more!
Another first for Hailey was the stomach flu. ARGH! Scott and I were sitting with a friend from church watching last weeks Truth Project video when Katelynn comes tearing down the stairs trying to excitedly, but quietly explain to me that Hailey was losing it upstairs. Ah, motherhood. So far, Beth is the only other Zoo member to fall victim to this particular bug. Other illnesses have sidelined Emily and Scott recently, it has been a rough month as far as health is concerned.
Before the end of 2007, Scott had an idea of where our next tour of duty would be - back in Patuxent River, Maryland. So it is now "official", the Stringer Zoo will once again cross the entire country to move to the opposite coast. This makes the 5th time that Scott and I have crossed the country for a Navy move. It is a good thing that I LOVE to travel, right?
So, Scott and I took about 3 weeks to research, pray, and discuss all of our options concerning this house. Rent it out and wait for the market to come back up, or sell and take the loss. It wasn't an easy decision, but I am at peace. Jehovah Jireh, the Lord is my provider. The house is now officially listed for sale. Our realtor's co-workers stopped by yesterday for a walk-through, so the girls, dogs and I were able to do school at Starbucks for a few hours. There will be two open houses this weekend that we'll have to leave for. Thank God that the girls have been so helpful as we've prepared the house for showing. Now if only we can keep it this way.
As always, life with the Stringer Zoo is ever changing, chaotic, and full of surprises. I am so thankful to the God of Wonders for blessing me with my husband and children. They make life so full.

1. How many coats do you own? Like 2, that might classify as a jacket, not sweatshirt!
Do have a good coat? One is an LL Bean
Casual coat? Summer jacket? etc. I just use hoodies or sweatshirts!
Do you wear coats very often? Or do you have a tendency to leave your coat at home whenever you go out? Not really, I'm not a huge fan of coats!
What is your favorite coat? Why is this one your favorite? Don't really have a favorite!
Care to model it for us?
2. You've learned a thing or two about this thing we call blogging. Tell us one thing you don't recommend to other bloggers. Not really sure I have found anything you shouldn't do yet. Hmmm…
Tell us one thing you do recommend to other bloggers. Using twitter, or follow other peoples blogs to get more traffic on your own.
3. Is cursive writing a lost art? Not sure it is a lost art, but not used as much as it should.
Should good penmanship be taught? Can good penmanship be taught???
Tell us about your handwriting - good / bad? I think, I have ok handwriting. I do this weird have cursive, half not. Its not as nice as some people I know.
Do you think your children have good handwriting (given their appropriate age, of course). The only one of my children that can write is my 7yr old son, and he has decent handwriting if he tries, and slows down!
4. Have you ever struggled with infertility? No, I have not, but one of my really good friends did. I can't imagine having to go through that. I felt for her all during her struggle.
If you haven't, or if it wasn't the hardest thing you've ever had to go through — what was?

I Made It to Romania...Barely
Wanted to put a quick post on here to say that I made it to Romania safely, even though I almost missed my flight in Dallas because of some dumb people at Lufthansa Airlines. On my ticket it said "sponsored by United Airlines", which apparently means that's the airline I'm flying on. Needless to say, I barely made my flight out. But I made it to the apartment here in Lugoj on Saturday, and we went to several church services yesterday. Today we are going to Timisoara here in about two minutes to get some papers from City Hall about the House of Joy in Susani, the neighboring village we have been going to quite often. I'll put pictures and all that on here soon, but I wanted to let everyone know that I made it in one piece. I'll post again soon.

I know what you're thinking... "Yeah, Right... last post.. sure!" But, really... it is! I promise! :) I just had a few leftover phone pics and videos to share with you and then I am completely done with DW!
Sweet Boy riding the carousel! He LOVED it!!!
LK and E on Splash Mountain!
Gray and I slept on the way home! The man sitting next to us told me that I had the most well-behaved baby he's ever been around! I'm sure he was extremely nervous sitting next to a mom and newborn on a flight! ha!
We bought some goodies for Addyson and Abigail as a Thank You for letting us stay with them before we left. Addyson spent a day with us over Spring Break when we got back, so we were able to give them to her then. She was so happy!! Although, I'm sure an actual trip to Disney World would have been MUCH better!! ha!
Here's a few videos!

This is honestly the best place on Earth. Besides home of course. I don't know if you have received my letters yet as the mail room is super backed up. I haven't gotten yours either but I hope to read them. I can't describe it here. The spirit is exhausting. Im consistently tired which I dont think I have ev er felt in my life before. The foods good but kinda just runs through me. I love my camponions, (yes two) Elder Raddatz and Elder Nelson. they are Zone Leaders and I am the District Leader. I have had some extremely spiritual experiences. Some I will share and some I cant due to lack of time and the more personal ones I will keep to myself.
First off, being the District leader is extremely rewarding. I have never prayed so hard in my life. I say three prayers each morning and night, a personal prayer, companionship prayer and a residence prayer. And although I love praying with others, I find that the revelation comes the most when I pray at night on my knees in bed (I'm on the top bunk). For the first time ever I asked Heavenly Father specific questions and got specific answers immediately. But not immediately after. The revelation come with asking the question whcih was super stange for me. Heavenly Father, what attribute can I study to more fully have the character of christ? And as i asked I envisioned myself flipping through the Bible Dictionary to Charity. So if that's not revelation I dont know what is. I pray for all of the members of the district (District 64C) as individuals, companionships, and a district as whole. I pray to know and discern what they need and how I can best help them. What I can teach, What goals we can set and it's extremly rewarding to help them. Ive given a blessing and can't explain how much being able to hold the Lords priesthood means to me. Today we went to the temple and for the first time I was able to go with a question and feel that it was answered.
We teach investigators in the Teaching Resource Center (TRC) and that was an experience. We were assigned to teach Belinda who lives in Singapore. Some of the people we teach are Non Members, reactivated members, and some are actually not members of the church. So no matter what you are trying to improve the investigators testimony. It feels real. Anyways we were supposed to pretend we were in Singapore as the missionaries there which was cool. Belinda has no Christian background and really doesnt believe in God. Sghe asked us "Why does it matter if He's real? If I know he is real then I tell peple he is and life goes on, if he's not I tell people he isn't and life goes on." That was a tough question. And all though during that lesson we didn't teach much doctrine, We did teach her how to pray and she committed to do that. Belinda was a tough cookie. It seemed as if she didn't care. She was referred to the church by an inactive friend. And remarkably she showed up. (Atleast this is the "story" as we heard it) The branch president contacted us and we got her adress and showed up. WE discussed God and how he has a plan for her. We asked her how do you know what's good and bad in the world? And she says well my father told me what to do and I did it. We related that to Heavenly Father and He has a plan for her. She agreed with that I guess. She then asked us if we were happy and we said we were happy because we knew the Lord. She then said ok, if someone hands you some food and you try it and you like it do you get more? We all said yes... and then she said that's not me. I take two bites and send it on over to the next person. So basically her point was that you can either be happy or sad. Its black and white. Theres no in between. To combat that we said Belinda all that we ask is that you try the food we have to offer ( our message) and if it doesn't make you happier then send us on your way. So she agreed. Before we taught her how to pray she asked us if we had ever eaten monkey brain... I said no but Ive always wanted to try it (as to not offend her culture) and she said don't. The monkey is still alive while you eat its brain... We then told her that we agreed that thats disgusting. Hows that for an experience? Thats enough about Belinda
Sunday was great. We got to attend a fantastic devotional by Vei Sikehema, who went to BYU for football and went pray. After that we watched a recording of a talk called "The Character of Christ" which David A. Bednar gave in the MTC last Christmas. This is the only place you can watch it. It changed my life more than any other talk ive heard. I would describe it to you if I could. Basically I learned that I need to always look outward not inward. And I knew that before I just never realized how important that was.
I love you all. Tuesday is my Pday just so you know. I love it here so much. Ive experienced so much growth. I challenge you all to start praying like your life depended on it. Because it does. Set aside the things of this world and seek for a greater. I can't express to you enough how much I miss you all. It was hardest on Friday. It hit me like a brick wall. Im here. I cant see them. I cant see their love. But I can definitely feel it...Send the Bishop and the ward my love. Tell them they shaped me in to who I am.
I love you all.
Elder Wardle

Delhi Belly 2
*Sick and Tired I stand alone, behind the doors or should I open It for you or...*
Sometimes Metallica works wonders. What a song The Unforgiven II is. Bang on the situation at 4:20 a.m. Hungry, sweaty(Tibet effect), tired, sleepy but still a Baniya I was fighting the Autowalas at Sarai Kaale Khan ISBT. Weather was as usual chilling and I was about to freeze. I felt like I was kept in a deep freezer and my body sweat was getting transformed to ice with each passing nano second. Forgetting all this I had to bargain. And so I started:
Me: How much for IP extension?
Me: Hehe. Not Gurgaon or Noida dude. Its IP.
A1: Not less than this.
(A2 enters)
A2: Kahan jana h bhaiya? (Where do you want to go?)
Me: Pata to h bhaiya aapko. Mein bahar ka nahi hu. Chalna h to chalo 40 mein.
(You know where I want to go. I am not an outsider. Want to go in 40 bucks?)
A2: Itna to nahi ho paega..
Me: (moving to A3) Haan Bhaiya chaloge kya? (What say? Will you be going?)
A3: 70 is last. Not less than this.
ME: 50 from me. Yes or no.
A3: Thek h bhaiya subah ka time h. (Okay. Due to morning time, I agree.)
BTW the normal amount which the rickshaw takes from here to the place is 70 rupees at any hour or the day. Night and unusual timing charges obviously go up like rockets. I told you I am a Baniya...:)
Delhi looks so different these days. I was here in December and it looked as if its been ages I came to this place. Everything looks changed. The flyovers, metro lines, roads, CWG village and everything are growing so fast that Delhi looks different each time I visit (May this continue after the CWG also).
I reached home in about half an hour and the autowala looked as though he was being robbed. But it was him who agreed. Otherwise I would have robbed someone else. HEHE..
I know some of you might be missing the mini skirted girls description this time but I didn't saw any at this time of the day. All I could see after Yamuna river was fog and fog and fog. The descriptions will come soon in following posts but in a different way this time.
So after belling and shouting for a long time at the doors of our home, I decided to spent money from my devil (L6). I called up bhaiya and told him twice that I was standing at the door. But "Dilli Ki sardi.." Finally he opened the door and I could meet my Bro (My best friend). Even a day without him seems to be incomplete and now we meet twice or thrice a year. Then came Bhabhi and I all my load went off somewhere. I had a n early tea at 5:15 a.m. and we chatted till 8:00 and bhaiya had to leave for his office.
I was cursed for keeping a different look this time which was a mix of Dutch and Afghani cut. I dont know why people think these looks are so indecent? But I like it. Actually I just love all these dynamicity these looks brings. After all ' Ghar ki kheti h.'
Rest story will be coming in other parts. Keep your fingers crossed guys.

:-) Sorry for the corny pun, but couldn't resist. This is a quick and easy Hands On project from the last workshop. We punched hearts with the Full Heart punch and glued them on the background white after stamping the stem from Greenhouse Garden in Glorious Green. The center "shamrock" is the small flower from Greenhouse Garden. Teeny Tiny Wishes has the BEST selection of events and that's where we found this great St. Patty's Day greeting. After punching it with the large oval, we sponged the edges with ink, punched out a green scallop oval and decorated the scallop oval with some dots from a white gel pen. Super simple and very fun!
Thanks for stopping by the Stamping Station.

It's funny, I never thought that I would ever make one of these just because there are sooooooooooo many plush Hello Kitty's out there. Nevertheless, I think she turned out pretty good!

The new semester is upon us and so are some new units. Time for new material, fun educational based games, and new information to broaden our minds. From the Dark Ages, Colonization of Africa to how the economic structure of our nation is based, we have already begun a fun filled and new educational semester.
Western Civ
So long Roman Empire, and hello Dark Ages. We have now watched the Roman Empire fall before us, and the class must now answer the question. What will happen now the the structure of the Roman Empire is gone? We have learned so far, two very important events have happened, along with two very important leaders. While the Holy Roman Empire is struggling to fight back the barbarians, (and to just survive in general) the Byzantine Empire is thriving. Under the rule of Justinian, the people of his empire are living a very prosperous life, though that did not come easily for the new King. However, the Holy Roman Empire made a comeback with a leader of the Franks, Charlemagne. Not only was Charlemagne a great leader, but he was chosen to represent the Roman Catholic Church in all of Europe. Now the students are looking into that aspect of religion, and the importance of the people in the Holy Roman Empire. The question is…Does religion run these people lives? We will find out!
Global Studies
We have moved onto the next area, the second largest continent in the world, Africa. Students began this unit by understanding the importance of Imperialism, and how important it was for not only a person to have great pride in their country, but to gain as much land as possible. We acted this out with our "Scramble for Africa" simulator, where students were broken up into groups that represented each European country at the Berlin Conference. Each group was given a list of resources they needed, along with a list of Africa areas that had those resources. The groups, each lead by a crown or figure head, had to decide what country they wanted. It was quite a show. Not only could the countries not agree on what they wanted, the students soon realized there was one group of people missing. The Africans of the countries they wanted to take. It was a very eye opening activity and I do believe the students learned a lot from it.
We started this new class off with asking the students what EXACTLY they thought economics was. Did it have to do with just money? Or was it beyond that concept? From there we learned about what essential questions one much ask themselves, such as who are business trying to target when it comes to selling items. We began to look at what types of production factor into the items we make, and how sometimes that leads to scarcity, which may benefit either the consumer or business. Finally, we looked at how economic patterns are seen in the real world. Each student was to choose a stock company, and for the rest of the semester, we will be monitoring the peaks and lows that each company has, comparing them month to month. Though we have just gotten started, it seems that the students have already learned so much!

From JFK to George W. Bush: How Have We Sunk So Far?
One of the greatest mistakes of Ronald Reagan's presidency was to bow to his handlers, who suggested that George H. W. Bush would be a good vice president. A man eminently more qualified to be president than his son, he nonetheless was not the best presidential material of his time, and worse, his presidency likely paved the way for
A much greater qualification for public office than one's political viewpoints is a healthy and diverse understanding of the world around us, as well as a respect for others' opinions. In this regard and many others, John F Kennedy runs rings around George W. Bush.something that otherwise would have seemed laughable--the election of his uncouth son to the highest office in the land.
In late 1999 or early 2000, I was dismayed at the willingness of so many of my fellow Republicans to jump on the Bush campaign bandwagon to support a man who clearly had no bona fides to qualify himself to run for president. It occurred to me at the time that politicians of any stripe will regularly divorce themselves from principle, honesty, and integrity when it seems their bandwagon has the biggest chance of steamrolling to success.
It runs in my mind that Abraham Lincoln was once asked why he surrounded himself with political opponents and people smarter than himself. His reply was something along the lines that if he had people whose views differed from his and who were smarter than himself, that could only be a benefit to his presidency.
John F. Kennedy surrounded himself with such individuals, whereas George W. Bush seems to have disdained them. JFK was well read and had a wide variety of interests. W has an army of handlers who filter the news for him, ostensibly because he doesn't want his presidency to be affected by his opinions.
In her seminal work, The Age of American Unreason, Susan Jacoby provides an elegant contrast between the well-read President Kennedy of the 1960's and the boorish Bush of four decades later, along with a stinging endictment of those who stooped so low to elect such a man--twice.
...the image of Kennedy as...someone who represented what Americans might aspire to for themselves or, more likely, for their sons--was a vital part of his appeal. Cultural literacy in a presidential candidate was seen [in the 1960's] as a desirable trait by the public... Yet forty years later, when college graduates make up a much larger proportion of the American population than they had in the early sixties, voters entrusted the nation's highest office to a man whose most distinctive personal trait has always been an absolute lack of intellectual curiosity.In other words, with all
The Age of American Unreason, pg 284
of our education, we have become...
John F. Kennedy surrounded himself with individuals of great intellectual talent, whereas George W. Bush seems to have disdained them.
George W. Bush had scarcely set foot outside of the United States when he was elected president. He once taunted a member of the press in Paris who had the fluent capacity to ask French President Jacques Chirac a question in French. He has been known to refer to the Spanish language as Mexican. While political giants like FDR, Reagan, and JFK appealed to Americans in rational and reasonable terms, Bush appeals to their emotions. While all other Presidents in this century had developed the talent for fine elocution, George W Bush still cannot pronounce "guv'mint" and "nucyaler". Similarly, Susan Jacoby says
When other twentieth-century presidents, Republican and Democratic, drew on the resources of the intellectual community, they hired staff members who represented a relatively broad spectrum of opinion... Bush, by conrast, chose only those intellectual--and non-intellectual--advisers who came from the extreme right fraction of the conservative spectrum.I am opposed to Embryonic Stem Cell research primarily because it seems like a colossal waste of money, and because adult stem cell research has shown much more practical promise. George W. Bush is opposed to it allegedly on purely religious grounds, thus giving religion a bad name. Rather than peopling his stem cell research commission with experts of differing opinions, "distinguished bioethicists and scientists" were "excluded from the panel" simply for their contrarian views.
The Age of American Unreason, pg. 295
Several people I know, including many Utahns, voted for George W. Bush twice. That is beyond my comprehension to understand how that happened (I have never voted for a Bush or a Clinton), but if they apologize, I will forgive them for it.
A much greater qualification for public office than one's political viewpoints is a healthy and diverse understanding of the world around us, as well as a respect for others' opinions. In this regard, John F Kennedy (and Bill Clinton, for that matter) run rings around George W. Bush.
My hope is that history will vindicate the growing number of people who have come to the opinion that George W. Bush was one of the least qualified persons ever to occupy the office of President of the United States.
Let's hope we can do better in 2008.

A few weeks ago my next door neighbor called to tell me she had a swarm of bees in her backyard. After talking to a bee expert, we learned that the bees were seeking a new hive and had chosen her "very warm"rock wall as a temporary home.
By the second day, they had moved up into a nearby crevice. Each day, half the swarm would leave for food and to seek a new location while the rest would stay and protect the queen as well as make a honeycomb.
After a few days, all the bees left. They left behind the most beautiful, pristine, white honeycomb. They must not have had time to fill it with honey. We marveled at the perfection of each individual honeycomb, perfect in size.
It was my neighbor/friend's birthday and I wanted to create a special present for her. I was considering creating a painting but then while outside I noticed that the honeycomb was starting to wear. Small parts were crumbling on the outer edges and it was starting to become loose.
I wanted to preserve this gift from nature for her. She happened to be away on a trip for a couple of weeks so I was able to gently remove the honeycomb and work on creating a way to display it indoors.
I decided to create a polymer base that looked like a pebbled spot of ground. I rolled out black polymer clay in my pasta machine (only used for polymer) to soften it and then began building the sculpture base pebble by pebble.
I then added in two long metal pins before baking the clay in the oven.
One of the most important aspects of the sculpture was the glass cover. I spent two weeks searching around the city for the perfect piece of glass. I would take the honeycomb with me in a box so I could hold it inside the glass and see if it was a good fit. I finally found a Polish hand-blown rectangular glass vase. It was stunning, it was beautiful…it was REALLY surprisingly heavy.
I very gently attached the honeycomb to the clay/pin base and then inverted the vase and placed it over the top. I had the keys to my friend's house while she was away so I was able to leave this for her as a surprise once she arrived back home.
I am in awe of nature's beauty. I know my friend an I both felt amazed by the gift the bees had left.
Seeing the light shine through the honeycomb, seeing each individual, perfectly made section is a meditation in itself. We live in such a beautiful world. Bringing nature inside is a wonderful way to fill your home with art and share a gift with a friend.

We started off the week with beautiful weather and a busy, busy day. Unlike last year when we moved around pretty much as a group, this year we are spread around the area each day working with several different social services agencies. Today we started off working at St. Rita's parish, the home parish of our hosts. St. Rita's is a very diverse parish with people from all nationalities and languages being spoken. Masses are offered in English, Spanish and Vietnamese. The PVs will be helping around the parish for the week doing several projects. Today we started to tackle re-glazing the windows of the parish hall. The church was built in the 50's and true to that style there are a lot of windows framed in medal. To help weather-rise and be more efficient, we are scraping out the old glaze and putting in the new.
The other two groups worked with agencies we worked with last year, My Father's Hands and Hesed House. My Fathers Hands is a non-profit organization working in area. They mentor at-risk workers by teaching them general
construction skills using a hands on approach. The projects they work on
include safety repairs on the homes of local senior and disabled
community members, as well as, collaborating with other non-profit
organizations on larger construction projects. The volunteers working with My Father's Hands today helped to remove an old water heater and put in a new one at a residence.
The group that at Hesed House laid new flooring in one of the offices. Hesed House's mission is to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless and give people the chance to hope again. Hesed House is a national model for ending homelessness – one person,
one family at a time. It is the culmination of nearly three decades of
strategic evolution from a formerly acceptable model of "eats and
sheets" to a Comprehensive Homeless Resource Center – a campus of
centralized highly skilled professionals collaborating to provide the
tools necessary to help individuals and families break free of the
shackles binding them to homelessness.
After a hard days work we enjoyed our scrumptious and comforting Tuna Noodle Casserole dinner outside at the newly constructed picnic table. The atmosphere, the company, all was top notch! We wrapped up the evening with reflection. The volunteer led reflection focused on our gifts. We were asked to identify a gift that we have that we can share. After reflection games were played and of course popcorn was popped : )
Below are a few pictures from the week. We will put a couple up each day, but at the end of the week will put a bunch up, so please check back for more.

EU Regulators will investigate whether Aspen Pharmacare charged excessively for medicines: "When the price of a drug suddenly goes up by several hundred percent, this is something the commission may look at," EU Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said in an emailed statement.
As consequences the EU has, for the first time ever, opened an investigation for excessively high pricing: "More specifically, in this case we will be assessing whether Aspen is breaking EU competition rules by charging excessive prices for a number of medicines.", as explained by Margrethe Vestager.
The five generic medicines involved – chlorambucil, melphalan, mercaptopurine, tioguanine and busulfan – are used to treat cancer, including hematologic tumours, and sold in different formulations and under multiple brand names. Aspen acquired them after initial patents expired.
The EU can impose fines of as much as 10 percent of a company's yearly revenue.Aspen said in a statement that "takes compliance with competition laws very seriously and will work constructively with the European Commission in its process".
Brussels will also look at allegations that in order to impose its price rises, Aspen "threatened to withdraw the medicines in question in some member states and has actually done so in certain cases".The probe covers all of the European economic area except Italy where the country's antitrust authority fined the company 5 million euros ($5.5 million) last year for raising prices on cancer drugs by as much as 1,500 percent starting in 2014. That related to an anti-tumor drug package Aspen bought from GlaxoSmithKline Plc., a former shareholder.

Thanks to one of our readers for pointing me at this. The VANCO story continued to gather pace with speculation rife that bids could be expected and on Sunday this appears to have been confirmed, with IBM and Accenture named as separately interested in a bid for the failing Virtual Network Operator.
Hmm, Accenture & Telco - as Accentures primary customers include some of the worlds largest "real" Telco's they may find that a successful bid would put them in direct conflict with some there largest customers.
