What a twit!
I just don't get Twitter!
I am interested in it...not particularly its content, which seems rather like the rest of the internet.
Often partisan, inaccurate, bigoted; and sometimes just plain wrong!
I suspect part of the problem is that we are just not at all clear where Twitter is pitched, and who and what it targets.
We are told that the future lies in social media. As if that somehow answers a question.
But it is strange that serious TV news shows have Tweets sprinkled across their screens. Music stars and TV and film personalities have thousands of followers (noticed this being referred to in a Michael Buble interview the other day).
World leaders appear to have Twitter accounts, and State and Federal Parliamentarians.
But do we for a moment such folk actually service their Twitter comments 24 hours a day...or at all?
I would be interested to know how it works...and whether or not it is worth even thinking about as meaningful communication

Hi Stephen,
I have been using Twitter for the past few weeks, but I have only a few followers, and follow only a few myself. I don't see how anyone could follow thousands of people, as some do - the Tweets would just disappear down the timeline in a flash. As it is, I can barely catch up with Tweets that appear overnight (not sure I really want to, but I might "miss" something). As far as I can see, from the people I tend to follow, Twitter is about promoting things, whether it be books, music, events. I can only observe that when I Tweet about my own Blog, there is an immediate peek in visits, so I guess it at least serves that purpose for me <>.

Yes I am aware of the little blips you can create with cross platform fertilisation
But this doesn't actually answer my question...probably because I haven't articulated it really well
My kids don't appear to be in Twitter at all.
I wonder what the demographic issues are?

Well, most of the people I follow (or who follow me) are connected in some way with the literary world; most tweets are informational: this just came out; that is happening now (or in a minute, or tomorrow); so-and-so is being interviewed on the ABC right now. So it does have a communication function. What following the stars is all about... well I guess that is the same as it always has been - like getting autographs, being touched by a star - a little brush with fame and celebrity

2. True or false? Paul made plans more than once to visit Rome and the church there, but was often hindered in carrying out his plans.
1. (b) A spiritual gift; (Rom. 1:11).
This means that Paul would exercise his spiritual gift in ministry to the church at Rome.

Welcome back to another great game in the 100 reviews in 100 days brought to you by The Ultimate Gamer in conjunction with the list masters over at pwnRank.com. We're closing off this week with spot 81. If I do say so my self this game gives me tingles in my tummy, and it's a great way to end the week!
Sneaking into 81…
Oh yes, that's right. You should have expected some games from the illustrious Metal Gear Solid series to hit the list. It places 15 on the overall PS3 metacritic for highest score, with an average of 94. The lowest score it received was a few 80′s. However, they merely complained about one thing, the same thing, that even I will complain a little about.
It's not really about one game…
Metal Gear Solid 4(MGS4) is a capstone to an amazing saga. Hideo Kojima is famous for one thing; immersive and detailed story. Even though the story he tells through video games may be broken into differing sequels and prequels, it captures us every damn time. With that being said, it would be almost unfair to judge MGS4 as a standalone game, because it isn't. Metal Gear Solid 4 was made for the fans. It was made to finish the story of Solid Snake, that started decades ago. While the story line is amazing, it can get pretty confusing. Unfortunately the only way to figure it out is a lot of reading after playing the game to figure it out.
Besides the story, however, the game play is amazing. Controls are tight, and Kojima Productions have mastered the art of sneaking in video games that just can't be imitated. The game is also incredibly beautiful. The graphics rival even today's PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The cut scenes are phenomenal and will keep you at the edge of your seat. MGS4 really is a video game masterpiece.
You can't sneak out of problems…
When a game gets such great reviews, a lot of the time it is hard to find something wrong with it. With Metal Gear Solid 4 though, it isn't too hard. While there are countless things that are amazing, one aspect stands out that may ruin the game for some. Cut scenes probably take up 75% of the game (Yes, that's a random percentage). Many people will joke and laugh about how you're watching a movie rather than playing a game. So from here on out, this game is now going to be referred to as a 'Interactive Cinematic Adventure'. It may only be a negative point though if you just really want to play.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is a game worthy of Kojima Productions. Virtually flawless execution when there is gameplay and an incredibly immersive story. The simple point is, if you can handle the long cutscenes and the comparatively little gameplay, you need to play MGS4. in fact. play them all. no matter if you already have or not. And then play The Phantom Pain to learn about Big Bosses story that is coming out early next year for PS4/X1. 5 out of 5.

Do you have a $1? A paypal account or check? A minute of your time to send it? I will give the latest update on Bethany in a minute, but I know some might choose not to read it. That is ok, I understand it is hard. However, they are about to be hit yet again financially with funeral expenses for their 3 year old, and their friends are rising up to try and raise the money and be a blessing to this hurting family.
If you want to donate via Paypal, just log into your account. Choose the tab "Send Money". Put in the following email address: firstname.lastname@example.com Put in the amount you choose to bless them with. Change the tab under the amount to "Personal" and choose the "Gift" option. (this will not charge the Hagerman family the fee for sending this blessing). Submit and it's that easy!
If you would rather send a check, gift card, note, please write a check to "Mike and Amy Hagerman" and mail it to:
Hagermans c/o Jones
1632 W. Norton Avenue
Muskegon, MI 49441
Now, for those of you that didn't see my previous posts about this precious family, you can do so here and here.
Please continue praying for this family! This is the note I received this morning from Amy; Bethany's mom:
Dear prayer warriors,
I will FOREVER be grateful for all of the people who have joined this group. Your prayers have meant so much to me and our family. May I encourage you to keep praying, keep seeking God, continue to grow closer to HIM and continue to have faith!!
In the last couple of days, Bethany has taken a major turn for the worse. The blood and platelet transfusions that she once was receiving to help bring energy and comfort, no longer work. She is in so much pain and is just miserable. These last 3 days, nothing about Bethany is normal. It is beyond difficult to see her this way. She doesn't talk, walk, eat, or play. When she tries to talk it comes out like a scream and doesn't usually make sense. She refuses to wear any clothes or a diaper. She has bruises everywhere and her eyes look like a grown man has punched her. They are swollen to the point when she tries to open her eyes you can barely see the whites of them. All we can do at this point is hold her close. We snuggle with blankets and towels. We try everything we can to give her comfort. She is on a continual i.v. of pain medicine. We are hoping this really helps her.
I apologize if this is very difficult to read.
Many of you have been very concerned for Mike and my well being through all of this. Please know that we are hanging in there. Not many people understand this, but our emotions are kind of numb. All we desperately want at this point is for Bethany to be pain free and not in misery any more. We are stressed, however, I honestly am amazed how well we are handling it so far. There are certain people that have been placed in our life that have made things so much easier. The hospice team are extremely professional and truly a God send. Our pastor has been so sensitive and amazing. There are friends that I have that I know I can call any time of the day and will do any little thing that needs to be done. The love and support is above all I could imagine. Seriously, as horrible as this time in our life is... GOD KNOWS!! Because He knows, He has provided in every area. I will continue to place my trust in Him. The very last worry I have has to do with the financial burden of the funeral. I have been told it is extremely expensive. With that being said, I have to just sit back and see that God is going to help provide means to cover all of those expenses. I can't let the stress of finances bother me at this point.
Okay, I better end this update... but before I do. I would like to personally invite you and your family to Bethany's funeral when it happens. Mike and I want this funeral to be a beautiful event that pays wonderful tribute to our princess/trooper. Also, this funeral is going to be an event that will bring so much glory and praise to God. We are praying that so many people will come to know God through this. As many of you know, Mike and my goal from the very beginning of this journey was that God would be glorified through all of this and that our life story would be a testimony to the love of God and HIS strength.
Thank you once again from the bottom of my heart for all of your love, prayers, support and encouragement. May God truly bless you in such a huge way!!

Here are two more fixes. Converted to black and white - one I kept the blue of the eyes, but lowered the opacity.
I did a second fix of the photo. I can't explain what I did differently except when I did a layer to sharpen the eyes I also fixed the layer for intense blues in the eyes. Then I painted in just the eyes on that layer using a layer mask. Then I adjusted the skin tones a little at the end. I also rotated it and cropped it. Here is my second fix:
iheartfaces.com hosts a weekly challenge to "fix" a photo. This weeks photo is entitled "beautiful blues". So here is my fix:
I won't totally take you step by step through what I did, but here is a summary:
I applied several adjustment layers - curves, levels, color balance, channel mixer. I combined my layers. I applied sharpen to one layer just for the eyes. Then I created a layer mask using alt-the layer mask button (circle inside a square on your layers palette), and I painted with white just over (the dark part of) the eyes. I combined the layers and used the spot healing brush on little spots of food on her face and teeth. Then I applied a final sharpen.

It was another top-notch weekend for many American players in Europe yet again, with performances from Landon Donovan, Tim Howard, Clint Dempsey, Maurice Edu, Carlos Bocanegra and Charlie Davies leading the way.
Here's what they did.
Clint Dempsey
Dempsey continued his ridiculous goal-scoring hot streak hitting a cracker of a shot for a goal against Stoke in Fulham's 2-1 win.
Although it will officially go down as an own goal because the shot smashed off the crossbar and into the back of the Stoke goalkeeper before going in, it was a beauty of a shot.
Landon Donovan and Tim Howard
Howard collected the shutout and Donovan yet another assist as Everton beat Chelsea 2-0. Donovan's assist came on Everton's second goal in the 71st minute to help seal the victory.
Donovan's assist comes at the 1:12 mark of the video.
Carlos Bocanegra and Maurice Edu
Both Bocanegra and Edu garnered assists in Rangers 4-1 win over Dunfermline in the Scottish Premier League.
Bocanegra's assist came on a set piece as he headed the ball back across goal; Edu's assist came as he drove into the box, drew out the Dunfermline keeper and was able to knock the ball back across the face of the goal to set-up his teammate for an easy finish.
Charlie Davies
Welcome back, Charlie! In his first appearance for Sochaux since returning from his loan to DC United, Davies came on as a substitute in the 78th minute.
If Davies can manage to regain his fitness and his form, it will give U.S. fans something to get excited about heading into the 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign which begins this summer.

Much Better Than Anticipated
The journey to the wedding was much better than anticipated. The wedding was about three and a half hours away from home, and we set off early in the morning with several folks in with us, including our son and a daughter, an elderly pair of my wife's relatives, and our dog. We had to bring the dog as we were going to be gone at least 12- 20 hours.

by D.E. Stevenson
In this charming follow-up to Miss Buncle's Book, readers will follow Barbara Buncle's journey into married life in a new town filled with fascinating neighbors...who may become the subjects of Barbara's next novel! Miss Buncle may have settled down, but she's already discovered that married life has done nothing to prevent her from getting into humorous mix-ups and hilarious hijinx. Readers will continue to fall in love with Barbara as she hilariously navigates an exciting new beginning.
My Reaction (with SPOILERS):
Though the first book in this series, Miss Buncle's Book, was not remotely scintillating, I enjoyed it enough to give four out of five stars. It was an overall pleasant reading experience. Unfortunately, this sequel merits something more like 2.5 stars (though I may round up to 3).
The problem is that it simply doesn't feel fully developed. The characters don't captivate, the plot (what little of it there is) drags its feet, and too much of the supposed humor falls flat.
There are a few bright spots. For some reason, I loved the part about finding and fixing up the house, though I'm sure that was a dull section for many. The neighbor's children were probably the most readable characters in the book-- more readable than Barbara herself, for that matter. They were usually rather annoying, but at least they were interesting!
Sadly, those few bright spots couldn't hope to illuminate the whole novel, and I was glad to reach the last page.
The last few pages particularly irked me. I could sense that particular plot development coming, though I hoped I'd be proven wrong. As another reviewer has put it, the author solves the problem of Barbara's books agitating her neighbors by having her not write any more books. ...Okay-- except, she also wants us to believe that Barbara apparently loves writing her books, so it's not exactly a satisfying conclusion.
Actually, I thought I remembered from the first book that Barbara writes out of necessity rather than a love of the craft. She certainly starts writing her first book merely as a way to make some much-needed money. However, in this book, she waxes poetic (by Barbara's standards) on the incomparable thrill of the creative hunt-- only to decide by the end of the book that she's done with writing. Because she's pregnant, which apparently means that she'll be too busy to write ever again for as long as she lives.
Why try to make us believe that Barbara finds some exquisite joy in her writing, only to have her give it up by the end of the book? That's just sad. Women can have children and still write-- even if they may take breaks during the busiest years. The author herself did so! I get the impression that Stevenson simply couldn't come up with a cogent solution to Barbara's problem (her lack of imagination and her inability to write a book without alienating the entire community), so she stuck us with a lame excuse.
Even more aggravating are Barbara's thoughts on marriage and pregnancy...
""I'm going to do something much, much cleverer,' she repeated. 'Anybody could write a book. I'm going to have a baby.'" (Some might argue it's the other way 'round, Barb... After all, far more people have babies than write books!)
"She looked back and saw the faults and failings in that ignorant, gauche spinster, Barbara Buncle, and felt her superiority in seeing them so clearly. She looked back, smugly and patronizingly, upon her virgin self. She was now one of the vast regiment of Married Women, no longer barred from their councils by the stigma of virginity." (...Ugh. How perfectly obnoxious.)
"...a small young creature which would be utterly and absolutely dependent upon her, a new human being to cherish and control." (Control? ...Oh-kaaaaay....)
Anyway, I'm glad to be done, and at this point, I don't know if I'll ever feel like reading the next book in the series. ...Probably not; based on reviews, I doubt it would be an enjoyable experience.

It's both.... she's feeling insecure because she feels like I've been trying to create a life that's separate from her, and she feels like i'm more excited about him than i am about her (like i said before, LOTS of NRE going on between he and i...), etc. She's scared right now that I'm going to leave or, conversely, that I'm going to try to force her to accept him as another primary partner when she's not even entirely sure that being out as poly is an okay thing.
I'm totally willing now to go back and take the time i didn't take before. I know that I put us in this place where she's scared and hurt and jealous, etc., and it's up to me to make sure that she knows that I still love her and don't take her for granted or anything like that. It's a tough situation though, because like i said, i never really learned to talk about my feelings and my needs, and I'm getting a crash course in it now.
Thanks for the replies everybody, I've been reading them as they come in and I appreciate everyone's point of view.

The newspaper thought they were exposing the gun owners. They really did a lot more than that. What idiots!
The map sparked more than 500 comments from readers within a day of its appearance on the website, many of them voicing outrage at the paper's decision to make the information public.Since rifles and shotguns aren't permitted, they aren't on the map. But so what? The newsaper has still managed to narrow the list for the burglars. What monstrous stupidity.
"This is CRAZY!! why in the world would you post every licensed gun owner information?? What do you hope to accomplish by doing this. This is the type of thing you do for sex offenders not law abiding gun owners. What next? should i hang a flag outside my house that says I own a gun? I am canceling my subscription with your paper today!!!" said commenter Curtis Maenza.
"How about a map of the editorial staff and publishers of Gannett and Journal News with names and addresses of their families…," wrote commenter George Thompson.

Thick as Thieves: A Queen's Thief Novel (Compact Disc)
Staff Reviews
"I love Thick as Thieves by Megan Whalen Turner!
It takes place in the world of the Queen's Thief Chronicles (best of the best in young adult fantasy) with a nodding glance at some of the characters from there. No need to have read the other books though: this book stands alone. The story involves a slave- on the order of the Greek slaves - who knows the rules well and works to expand his role in this city-state. But life gets in the way. This is a thrilling, adventuresome book with characters that are neither saints or villains, but saints with flaws and villains with goodness. World-building is magnificent and the writing is elegant. As an adult or young adult, if you read this book you will want to read everything by Megan Whalen Turner!" -- Judy Bulow, frontlist kids byer— Judy Bulow

Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Marie Lu, Patrick Rothfuss, and George R.R. Martin.Kamet, a secretary and slave to his Mede master, has the ambition and the means to become one of the most powerful people in the empire. But with a whispered warning, the future he envisioned is wrenched away and he is forced onto a very different path.Set in the world of the Queen's Thief, this epic adventure sees an ordinary hero take on an extraordinary mission. Megan Whalen Turner's Queen's Thief novels are rich with political machinations and intrigue, divine intervention, battles lost and won, dangerous journeys, power, passion, and deception.

As I sit here looking back at the past 8 years, I notice how different I am now than back then. Sure I am still goofy, talkative, and caring but I have become more sensitive, less outgoing, and more cautious. Most of the changes have been for good. I don't go partying, I take better care of myself and I think of others more than myself. However, some changes aren't as good. I am more likely to get pissed off when babies or pregnancies are announced, I have a hard time being happy for others while trying to hide my disappointment in myself, and I don't like opening myself up to others because I always get hurt.
I have become a much better person overall, yet those small changes are always weighing on my mind. I don't like being a mean person. It's just not who I am. Yet, I cannot shake those feelings when put in those situations. I really am working hard to get rid of these feelings, but they just keep coming back when yet another person talks about certain things. Ugggh!
Now, in these past 8 years I have had quite a few life changing events. First date with my hubby on 10-17-03, got engaged a year later, moved 200 miles away in Feb 2007, got married May 2008, started trying for family in Jan 09, 3 miscarriages in 2010, issues that are finally resolved as of august, and then the 3 month hiatus from trying for family due to PCOS (stupid ovaries suck!). All these things add up and change a person's way of thinking. I would love to say that I wouldn't change anything, however I would like to change the whole part where I wasted 2 years trying for something when my body was actually purposely preventing it and I didnt know. grrrrrrrr.
Now, I am 29 days away from getting back on the bandwagon of trying again. So what has changed in the past 57 days? I am eating much healthier, I am not dependent upon sugar anymore (I actually can't even eat a normal sized candy bar anymore), I am more active, I am in better control of my life, I take my vitamins and I hardly ever go have a drink anymore and when I do it is literally one and I am done. Now, that being said, I know that there are those who don't take care of themselves, party all the time, yet end up getting what I truly desire without having any issues. I want to bitch slap those people. I can't understand how people go through life without one ounce of care about anything and get everything that I desire. Hmmm, must be nice to not have to work for everything you want.
I just know that when my day comes, I will be the better person. I will be more appreciative of my children than most others because I will have worked damn hard to get them. Yes, they may be spoiled but it again is going to be well deserved. I will not let others break my spirit anymore. I will be the bigger person. I will hold my head high and let things just roll off my shoulders. I shouldn't lose sleep worrying about the situations of others. They only have theirselves to blame, and they will have to learn from their exeperiences just like I have.
I AM DONE WORRYING. I WILL NOT GET UPSET WHEN THINGS HAPPEN TO OTHERS BECAUSE MY TIME WILL COME. I WILL RISE ABOVE AND BE BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE IN THE LONG RUN. I AM WOMAN, HEAR ME ROAR! (I had to put that in).
For those in my situation, I will pass on a special prayer that was given to me. This is the novena prayer to Saint Philomena:
We beseech Thee, O Lord, to grant us the pardon of our sins by the intercession of Saint , virgin and martyr, who was always pleasing in Thy sight by her eminent chastity and by the profession of every virtue. Amen.
Illustrious virgin and martyr, Saint Philomena, behold me prostrate before the throne whereupon it has pleased the Most Holy Trinity to place thee. Full of confidence in thy protection, I entreat thee to intercede for me with God, from the heights of Heaven deign to cast a glance upon thy humble client! Spouse of Christ, sustain me in suffering, fortify me in temptation, protect me in the dangers surrounding me, obtain for me the graces necessary to me, and in particular (Here specify your petition).
Above all, assist me at the hour of my death. Saint Philomena, powerful with God, pray for us. Amen.
O God, Most Holy Trinity, we thank Thee for the graces Thou didst bestow upon the Blessed Virgin Mary, and upon Thy handmaid Philomena, through whose intercession we implore Thy Mercy. Amen.

If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. Jeremiah, Chapter 18, verse 8.
I remember staying at my aunt's house for a couple of weeks during the summer. We had wonderful fun watching the "Soaps," eating fried egg sandwiches and just spending time together. The girl next door had an above ground pool. I had been envious of her since I had gotten there. At the end of my vacation at my aunt's, the neighbor invited me over for a pool party. I wasn't allowed to go so I ranted and raved around the house, having a "royal hissy fit" because I didn't get my way.
My aunt had been there supporting me all along like God supports us. Then the minute I didn't get everything I wanted, I had a fit and acted like everything wonderful didn't matter anymore. I'm sure she must have been hurt by my ungrateful behavior, the same as God is hurt through ours.
Once I calmed down and realized how unreasonable I was, I apologized and my aunt forgave me, much in the same way that God forgives us, even when we have behaved hatefully. My aunt's forgiving nature, not harboring resentments, allowed us to enjoy our last days of my vacation, creating fond memories to last a lifetime. Fortunately, God doesn't keep a tally sheet of all our shortcomings because Jesus wiped it clean. He doesn't harbor resentments for our sinful deeds. What an awe inspiring and wonderful God!
Because this is an example of how I've applied this Bible passage to my life, it doesn't necessarily reflect the whole meaning of the passage.
This is a connection I've made from this Bible passage. Please share your connections.

So here's my attempt to recap (without having to go "into it" over & over again) :-) These will be simple, brief overviews of what I learned in each session...I am more than happy to discuss with anyone should they have questions or would like more info, etc...
While at the Down Syndrome Conference we attended 3 breakout sessions.
The first (1 of 3) was "Creating a Long Term Vision for Your Child with Down Syndrome".
Presented by Bridget Murphy - DSG Board President.
As Young Professionals, both Joe and myself are very aware of how important setting short term and long term goals are. We have set (and re-set) many as it pertains to education and professional advancement, etc. As a marketing/Ad/PR professional I have assisted several clients, across many industries, in establishing goals and objectives. Creating and abiding by Mission Statements and the like. But never have I thought it important to create a FORMAL long term vision for my child.
Fortune 500 Companies have Mission Statements...Non-Profit Organizations have Mission Statements...Why not your family??
Why create a vision?
* Gives you Direction (keeps you and your child on the right track)
* Holds you Accountable (some people, once a "mission statement" is created actually print it out, frame it and display it on a wall in their home, to serve as a constant reminder of what they have PLANNED and work towards each and every day - not a bad idea)
* Lessens anxiety (while setting and working toward achieving each and every goal set by you as parents, therapists, educators, doctors, etc can seem extremely overwhelming...keeping your eye on the BIG PICTURE and END-GOAL could simplify the process and lessen the anxiety of it all)
* Creates a Successful Outcome (In business, sports and of course Life, one should always visualize a victory. "Shoot for the Moon and if you miss at least you'll still be among the Stars"...I am also reminded of the Special Olympics quote "Let me Win - But if I can not win, let me be brave in the attempt" and "Failure isn't in not reaching a goal, but in not having a goal to reach".
What WAS Your Dream?
Mrs. Murphy also asked the attendees to share what their dreams were. Their dreams before this diagnosis of Down Syndrome was in their lives. For you as a person, as a parent and as a family.
I personally reflected on how my dreams as a "working mother" had changed, or should I say had been derailed slightly. While I have put my "professional" dreams on hold for a while, I still have them. Right now they are tucked far back in my mind, but they're still there. And I truly feel, that some day (perhaps soon) I WILL re-set out to achieve those dreams. And who knows, perhaps Down Syndrome will prove to be a part of my new dream...I believe it almost certainly will). We shall see what the future has in store.
I also reflected on my dreams as a parent. I have undoubtedly learned to be a better, more loving, more compassionate and more PRESENT mother. I feel as though I am more capable of loving my children unconditionally. To be perfectly honest - MUCH more "unconditional" than prior to learning of Macy's special "differences". :-)
So. Right then and there. Joe and I put our heads together (pencils in hand) and brainstormed with each other. Where do we see ourselves in 20 years? Where do we see McKenzie in 20 years? Where do we see Macy? How will WE get there? Our goal is to get there with the help of family, friends, neighbors, classmates, educators, therapists, doctors, etc...with dignity and maintaining self respect.
Below are some bullet point goals for our young Adult "not-so-Little Miss Macy" (at 21 years of age):
* Be Happy
* Socially Active - have a close-knit group of friends
* Satisfying and gainfully employed
* Involved in the community (goes hand-in-hand with being "a contributing member of society")
* Family focused
* Independent/self sufficient with every day tasks
* Transitioning into a Post-Secondary Education
* Polite and Courteous
* Be Respectful and have Integrity
* Fiscally responsible & financially aware
* Goal Oriented
* Possess appropriate behavior and good overall hygiene
* Have strong Christian core values and principles
While these goals were set specifically with Macy in mind, we certainly hope for McKenzie, as well as any other children we may have, to achieve these same PERSONAL LIFE goals.
* Final goal - for me and Joe - OUR marriage and Life come first. We will try so hard not to lose sight of this. Easier said than done some days...as I know many can relate...but we must at least keep this top of mind!
Let this serve as a road map to a better & brighter tomorrow for the Harnisch Family! we reserve the right to tweak and revise as the years go by, but this gives us a good solid foundation from which to build from.
So each day, as we set out to conquer small, seemingly tedious objectives and put forth plans and strategies, (specifically with teachers, IFSP/Early Intervention teams, etc) let us reference these "END-GOALS". Let us ask ourselves "how is this going to get us to our "End-Goals"? Is it helping us or hindering us? We may need to re-think some strategies along the way to remain TRUE to our BIG PLANS/FINAL GOALS. "Sounds like Life to Me"
In conclusion - now that we've defined specific values and goals - here is our family Mission Statement. (subject to major revision - as we were very much under a time crunch at the conference)
The Mission of our Family is to have a Strong Marriage Based on Trust, Faith and Love, with Independent, Respectful and Contributing Children, with a Strong Support System of Family and Friends Helping Us Achieve Our Worthwhile Purposes.
Tomorrow (or soon at least) I will follow up with the other two breakout session topics:
"Technology on the Horizon" and "PLAY Your Way to Better Language Learning".

I like to pretend that my food is famous, or in turn, I am famous. Well, I'm really not but these have had some really great reviews. I won't lie to ya, they ain't the easiest things to make, but what cinnamon rolls are? Just make sure you let me know how you like 'em, alright? Just so you know, this recipe makes a pretty big batch of rolls.
The Best Cinnamon Rolls
5 cups hot water
3/4 oil
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup nonfat dry milk
3/4 cup instant potato flakes or pearls (NOT prepared)
3 tsp salt
2 heaping tbsp yeast
2 eggs
9-10 cups flour
Mix first 6 ingredients together. Add 6 cups flour and beat well until stretchy and very elastic (I use my Bosch). Add eggs and beat well. Add yeast. Ad the rest of the flour (3-4 cups) to make soft dough. Turn onto well floured counter (it will be pretty runny), turn to coat all sides, and place in greased bowl. It'll be very, very soft. Cover with hot damp cloth and let rise until double. Remove and divide in half; roll out 1/2 at a time into a rectangle. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Roll in jellyroll style. Slice to make pinwheels (I use fishing line or dental floss) and place on greased cookie sheet. Repeat with other dough. Let rise until slightly doubled. Bake 10-15 minutes at 375 degrees. Frost while hot.
1 stick butter
1 lb. powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
Mix and spread.

Yesterday was a difficult day. My thoughts continually returned to MissG. Just to bring you up to speed we went away for a few days almost a month ago and on our return she texted me to say she had doubts about whether she wanted a relationship or not. I thought the mini holiday had gone really well and we'd become closer. I suppose that's why it's been such a shock. Since then things have been in limbo. We haven't spoken and I've kept texts and emails to a minimum to give her some space to think things through. Part of me accepts that she'd like to end things but is trying to do it gently. Part of me holds out hope that all will come good.
I'm going to take the day off today. I didn't have any work booked in and was just going to tie up a few loose ends.Instead I'll straighten things out at home and try and get my head straight.
Not the most inspiring of blogs. Setbacks are part of life. I can either give in or find a way of moving forward. There are people out there dealing with far worse things on a daily basis. I'm becoming abit too self centred and wimp like. Sorry. Much better things to come.
Onwards and upwards in the pursuit of happyness :-)
PS. Thanks for the comment Med. I really appreciate your input. However the only person who can help me is me. Supports important particularly at the moment but I have to make sure I'm in the right frame of mind to put it to good use. Hence the last paragraph. I'm much better when I'm fighting back and I'm beginning to feel the fight return. Your comment hastened it's return and I'm in your debt. Spanner.

That last paragraph is one of the harshes things I've seen you write about yourself. You deserve far more understanding than that. There will always be bad news in the world, and sometimes that might make us feel like the lucky ones. That is no bad thing, but please don't belittle what you are dealing with... it is mean and harsh and I'm guessing saying it to yourself didn't make you feel better.ReplyDelete
Thinking of you, wishing you well, and hoping that today was a better day for you. All the best, Med.ReplyDelete

Many people have tried to figure out why this happens. Elizabeth George, for instance, recently wrote an article on the subject suggesting that this occurs simply because readers don't care enough about male victims. Describe the murder of a man in your novel, she says, and it is guaranteed not to sell. I feel, however, that female writers create mystery novels that are so much angrier than male mysteries because they experience a degree of frustration in their daily lives and creative endeavors that is unknown to their male colleagues.
Not all female mystery writers cultivate the excessively gruesome variation of the genre. The amazingly talented Tana French and Laura Lippman write really great fiction that masquerades as mystery through a half-hearted addition of a couple of dead bodies here and there. While Tana French seems to be moving to a stage in her writing where dead bodies become more perfunctory than ever with every new novel, Laura Lippman still isn't ready to quit pretending she is a lot less talented than she is. Hardly Knew Her is a collection of Laura Lippman's short stories that are so good they could almost be compared to Joyce Carol Oates's. There is some sort of a crime in each of them but this collection is so much more than that.
Lippman's stories explore various ways in which women sell sex for money. The stories are very different, they are narrated in very distinctive voices and are set in extremely different social surroundings. Still, each of them addresses the relationship between sex and money in a way that is always insightful and fresh. Cheap didacticism is alien to Lippman. Among her female characters who sell their bodies in a variety of inventive ways, the only one who has character and integrity is a career prostitute. She is, of course, despised by housewives who believe that selling themselves just to one man is somehow better. Lippman makes it very clear that her sympathies lie with the honest, resourceful prostitute and not with the spoiled housewives who go to great lengths to convince themselves of their non-existent superiority:
"Is there anyone who works harder than a stay-at-home mom?" Ditchdiggers, she thought. Janitresses and custodians. Gardeners. Meter readers. The girl who stands on her feet all day next to a fryer, all for the glory of minimum wage. Day laborers, men who line up on street corners and take whatever is offered. Hundreds of people you stare past every day, barely recognizing them as human. Prostitutes.This kind of honesty is not easy to find in a genre that is addressed to an overwhelmingly female audience. The desire to keep the housewives happy and cater to their tastes has been the downfall of many an entertainer. Thankfully, Lippman is not one of them.
Laura Lippman lives in Baltimore, and most of her stories are set in this city. The few times that she ventures to other settings, her stories lose in quality. The only part of Hardly Knew Her: Stories that I didn't enjoy too much was a story set in New Orleans. On home turf, however, Lippman is brilliant. Her love of Baltimore and her profound understanding of its history make her stories fascinating to those of us who have an emotional attachment to this beautiful city.

My adorable little man started off not hurting my figure too much but then the dr told me to try a gain a few lbs and lets just say that was trouble. I added 20 lbs in 2 months, yes you read that right 20! My previous self of being nervous about gaining too much weight... my grandmother told me not too every time I talked to her... went out the door and landed in Antartica. Then dr recommended a hormonal plug to keep us a family of 3 for awhile and guess what my side affect was... blubber.
So today begins a very new world for me and Craig, we will get up at 7am every day, we will run, we diet... enter veggies and lean meat, exit sugar and bread (BOO), we will take vitamins and we WILL get skinny. I will be a HOT mom, I will look good in a bathing suit when we finally take our honeymoon, and I will be the envy of some other mom out there. Yes, I am narcissistic enough to admit I want someone to envy my cute figure post baby.
If you don't read Heir to Blair, STOP reading me for a moment but please come back after and check her out. She makes me laugh everyday and I swear if we lived in the same city we would be best friends. But in her quest to lose the baby weight she has started McFatty Monday for all us moms out there attempting to the same, so get ready for me to overshare on my quest on Mondays as I use this blog as a way to keep myself on track and out of Dunkin Donuts. BABY WEIGHT WE ARE DONE UNTIL NEXT TIME!
See this body, I WANT IT BACK!
Today I will buy a scale and I will start the 30 day shred that I have done once in the 3 months I have owned it.
PS, Craig and I failed already when we got out of bed at 830 today. Tomorrow we will get up at 7am!

Decided: October 5, 1940.
JULIA M. RYAN ET AL., PROSECUTORS,v.HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY, A BODY CORPORATE, ET AL., DEFENDANTS
For the prosecutors, Kanter & Kanter (Elias A. Kanter, of counsel).
For the defendants, Milton R. Konvitz (Frank H. Sommer and Samuel Roessler, of counsel).
Before Justices Case, Donges and Heher.
[125 NJL Page 338]
The opinion of the court was delivered by
HEHER, J. On March 20th, 1940, the Housing Authority of the City of Newark, a body corporate and politic created under the provisions of the United States Housing act of 1937 (42 U.S.C.A., §§ 1401, et seq.) and chapter 19 of our session laws of 1938 (Pamph. L., p. 65; R.S. 55:14A-1, et seq.), presented to Circuit Court Judge Caffrey a petition, styled in the "Essex Circuit Court," averring the need of certain of prosecutors' lands for the consummation of a "public housing project for families of low income in the City of Newark," undertaken pursuant to the grants of power contained in the cited statutes, and the adoption by the Authority of a resolution directing that it "cannot acquire" the lands "by agreement with the owner by reason of disagreement as to price" and directing the institution of condemnation proceedings under R.S. 20:1-30, et seq., as amended and supplemented by chapter 21 of the laws of 1938 (Pamph. L., p. 92), and praying for the appointment of commissioners to settle compensation; and an order was thereupon made, likewise captioned in the Essex Circuit Court, appointing a time and place for a hearing thereon. Due notice was given to the landowners.
Thereupon, the landowners served notice that, on the day so fixed, they would move for the vacation of the order on the grounds (a) that the project is not a "use or purpose for which" their lands "may be taken by condemnation," since the object is "private" and not "public" in nature, and chapter 19 of the laws of 1938, supra, particularly section 9 thereof (Pamph. L., pp. 65, 75; R.S. 55:14A-8), is in contravention of article I, paragraph 16, and article IV, section VII, paragraph 8, of the State Constitution; (b) that the petition was "legally insufficient to confer jurisdiction," in that it failed to allege that petitioner could not "acquire" the lands "by agreement with the owners for any of the reasons stated in the statute (R.S. 20:1-1);" and (c) that the recital in the resolution of the Authority appended thereto of an "offer made by" it, "of the rejection thereof, and of a counter-offer, is untruthful," as was also the recital that the lands
[125 NJL Page 339]
"cannot be acquired by agreement 'by reason of disagreement as to price.'"
Judge Caffrey denied the landowners' motion, and appointed commissioners to appraise the lands and assess the damages and fix compensation. Refusing to receive testimony on the factual questions so raised, he ruled that the "application" for the appointment of commissioners "was regular on its face and the statutory requirements were fully met, as evidenced by the moving papers;" and that he was "sitting as a statutory court, and if there is any error in any of these proceedings, it should be properly raised by a writ of certiorari." The landowners then sued out this writ.
The first point made is that, in such proceedings, the land-owner "is entitled to dispute, in the court where the condemnation petition is filed, the factual allegations" thereof, "and is likewise entitled to a trial of the issues thus made," and the order appointing commissioners should therefore be reversed.
More specifically, it is said that the Eminent Domain act (R.S. 20:1-1) "contemplates a judicial proceeding;" that it "clearly entrusts this important subject of condemnation to one of two courts, either the Supreme Court or to the Circuit Court;" that "The condemning party must have 'power to take land * * * for public use;'" that "One of the conditions precedent (and the one asserted by the petition * * * as existing in the case at bar) is 'disagreement as to price;'" and that the statutory provision of a "hearing" on the petition connotes "power to determine (1) whether the petition is legally sufficient," and (2) whether it "is factually true." And the argument is that, unless it be held that "the Circuit Court, under the statute, has the power, the duty and the right -- like any other Court of unrestricted common law jurisdiction -- fully to hear and determine the entire issue, and all phases of the issue initiated by the condemnation petition * * *, then the procedural statute is unconstitutional since it would" deprive the Supreme Court and the several Circuit Courts of "an inherent judicial power." Reference is made to section I, paragraph 1, and section V, paragraphs 2-3, of article VI of the State Constitution.

Well, if the creation of the show "Joey" wasn't bad enough (my version would have been better)...Hollywood has gone and stolen another one of my ideas.
Not more than three weeks ago, Kupe, Kevin and I were discussing random shit when we came up with this winning joke, but really saw nowhere specifically that it could be used.
In reference to playing golf
Guy #1: Man, that guy is really bad at golf. What's his handicap?
Guy #2: Down syndrome
And then, I'm watching SNL last night and I see the previews for "My Name is Earl" and this exchange:
Some Guy: How many birdies did you hit?
Fat Guy: 12
Some Guy: That guy hit twelve birdies? What's his handicap?
Earl: Nothing, he's just a little slow.
Ridiculous. Again, my version would have been better.

Councillor Jackson has once again 'forgotten' how he voted against Labour's #potholepledge only 6 weeks ago
It's becoming a bit of a habit. First he 'forgets' he's got a planning application for wind turbines in his back garden now he's in the newspaper again trumpeting his support for the government's £2.3m pot hole cash for Northumberland. He's 'forgotten' yet again that he voted against Labour's £600,000 investment to clear up the backlog of pot holes left by the previous Lib Dem administration. That was only 6 weeks ago. He's also 'forgot' that his recent comments on the rural broadband programme would mean 700 fewer rural homes would be 'connected'.
It's about time Northumberland Tories stopped playing party political games because residents won't 'forget' that you keep 'forgetting' what you're against and what you support.
C'mon Councillor Jackson when are you going to stop 'digging' and back Labour's #potholepledge ?
We welcome the government's investment (see its easy to welcome the other side when they do something good for the community) and we also eagerly await Northumberland Tories 'conversion' to the Labour #potholepledge coming soon to a street near you.

Over the weekend I actually felt a lot better, I wonder if it was getting up so much later in the morning. After last week when I craved nothing but salty, fried calorie-laden foods I seem to have eased up a bit and even had a craving for strawberries today.
I am being very sneaky around the office, trying to hide the fact that I ate cheese fries last wednesday at 8am or that i am now having macaroni and cheese for breakfast. The hot fudge sunday that I needed at 10am yesterday was also a challenge.
Starting to feel bad about being a non-entity around the house to my family. I am either ill, trying to think of what food I could eat that would make me feel better, or sleeping. Still no rhyme or reason to the food cravings which is too bad.

LOL - yes, the 8 am cheese fries do cause question mark, don't they? :)

Does anyone remember that one specific video done by the Pixiwoo girls and Caroline Hirons that made Pixi Glow Tonic blow up in the UK? You can see it here.
Everyone wanted to try it, everyone just wanted their hands clasped around it and I was one of them. Knowing that it was incredibly hard to get your hands on due to stock levels, I wasn't feeling very hopeful. However after I went down to London one day, I decided to visit the only Pixi store in the UK and was lucky to be able to get myself a bottle there and then. There had been a delivery of stock the day before and the lovely cashier was frantically on the phone with orders and packing up bottles ready to ship the next day.
I did consider getting myself the P50 Lotion from Liberty which is a more expensive version of the Pixi Glow, but when one bottle is around £50 and you're feeling pretty strapped for cash there's not really a question about it. Pixi Glow Tonic is meant to be pretty much the same thing for a fraction of the price so I was sold straight away.
If you don't already know, this toner contains Glycolic acid which is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA). Sound familiar? The term AHA has been thrown around the beauty community a lot in recently months. I'm far from an expert but from what I know, there are a group of natural acids which can be applied to the skin to buff away the dead skin cells and reveal a brighter and softer layer of skin underneath. This helps to keep you looking more radiant and healthy. Who doesn't want that? The acids can help with fine lines and wrinkles whilst the Aloe and Witch Hazel tone and firm.
I generally use my toner after cleansing. I take two pumps on a cotton pad and then swipe it all over my face, being very careful to avoid the eye area.
I started off by using this twice a day every day which you can do as the toner is so gentle. However I felt that this was too harsh for me. My face started to feel a bit dry and overdone so I limited it down to around 4 days a week and only in the morning on that day. I've found that this works a lot better for me. I still get all the benefits without any of the tightness.
If your looking for a great exfoliating toner, I definitely recommend trying this one out regardless of your skin type. I believe that it is marketed as a normal to dry toner by I have Combo/oily skin and it works perfectly well on me.

Hello valued customer,
Second and final email of the week and here is some really good information for those of you, like me, who have stuff to sell and want a great way to start online.
I know some have already ventured into eBay and if not for business purposes, many of you will have at least sold something of your own using a personal eBay account, but check out these benefits when opening a basic eBay store at £20 per month:
- 200 products to list per month
- list products indefinitely (up to a maximum of 30 days with any personal account)
- lift sell and receive limits easier than with a personal account
- branded store front
- category tabs on store front
- analytics and sales tracker
- plus much, much more
So why eBay… why not my own e-Commerce website?
The simplest answer is this:
When you create any website you have to have a way to increase traffic for it to be effective. For any website to succeed it needs to be found, needs to be seen and people need to know that it exists, as well as know that when they get there it has everything they want at the right price for their pocket.
So take a new site which starts at the base of thousands and thousands of Google pages, the site needs work from the inside and out to start making its way through the virtual deadwood until it shows up closer to the front pages.
Now let's say that the website has started to show on pages 4 and 5 for one or more products that the site is selling… you naturally get a little excited, and why shouldn't you!
But here comes the tricky part. You see, you will now start to compete with mature websites and large companies which will no doubt include Amazon and eBay to mention but a few.
So, with that said, let's look at eBay:
If you yourself are shopping online for a product, you will probably have your favourite websites either bookmarked or in your head, and when online, we always want to know if we can get it cheaper elsewhere. So where do the largest percentage of us go to? Well, eBay! Amazon is a close second with World Wide Web savvy users, but everyone from the little old lady to the high on life teenager visits eBay.
Like I state in that short list above, your basic eBay store will cost you £20. That's twenty pound each month to be in front of a world wide audience, with immediate effect.
Being able to list your product indefinitely is one of the biggest draws when compared to your personal account, as well as reduced final selling price fees. Listing indefinitely takes care of re-listing, and that means there is no need to re-list. You can sell your product(s) using a shorter time scale as you can when using your personal account, but why would you when you can keep it listed until it sells, or sells out if you have more than one.
There are loads more benefits when you upgrade your store too, but with 200 products in a month, this basic package is a great way to start.
If you want to venture into eBay and would like help with it, or you need it setting up and your store front designing/configuring then call me on 0113 2538746 or call my mobile 07810 782433. Alternatively, email me back and we will get the ball rolling.
I have attached my pricing and payment terms which you can read through.
You can also read the 'Branding boss Advice blog' if you have missed any of my past 'Branding boss Advice' emails. The emails are only sent on Tuesday's and Wednesday's, each one full of advice and solutions for my customers and your businesses.

The great thing about being part of the area rug cleaning world wide community is that we support one another, give advice when asked and link each other to other great rug people. My boss, Dusty Roberts sent me an e-mail to check out another rug blog by Lisa Wagner titled The Rug Chick Blog. Lisa is very respected in the rug world. Here is a little bio on Lisa.
I really enjoyed her blog about white knots or as she calls them rug freckles. They are in every hand knotted area rug and may not be noticed until the rug is cleaned. Dirt hides a lot of secrets sometimes. The only secret I have come to know on hiding white knots is to colour them with a marker. It isn't permanent or sometime practical, but for those few people that are bothered by them it is a temporary solution.
In my two years at Luv-A-Rug I haven't found too many people who cared much about the white knots showing. On this particular British Indian/Aubusson rug there is a pretty big knot that has worn through. The cotton cord used to weave the rug is thick. Thicker than what is used on other types of hand knotted rugs due to the weigh of this 8x10 British Indian rug. This is the largest white knot I have seen. I tried to figure out how it happened, but since I don't everything about rug weaving as such, it is a bit of a mystery. It is interesting nevertheless.
When I do my visual inspection here at my rug cleaning studio in Victoria BC, I point out the white knots and explain that they will be more visible after cleaning because to quote Lisa,"When you point things out BEFORE cleaning is it EDUCATION … when you point it out AFTER the cleaning it is an EXCUSE!"
Thanks for reading, RugloverMary, Your Victoria BC, Canada rug cleaner!

Favorite quotes about play
"Imagination is more important than knowledge." Albert EinsteinThis quote is especially true of my childhood. Growing up, I had an imaginary friend named David Wilson. He was my buddy and "lived" down the street from me. When I was around 4 years of age, my aunt brought me a doll from Germany. We named the doll David Wilson and from then on I no longer had an imaginary friend. Even though my friend was no longer with me, I still had a great imagination, playing hours alone. My daughter has a fabulous imagination and I love to hear her chatting to herself. She does not have an imaginary friend, but she does have David Wilson...
|This is me asleep with my doll David Wilson .
"A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot." Allan Beck
I believe that last quote sums up my childhood. I loved "Barbie", baby dolls and playing in the mud equally. I played outside for hours--I would even play dolls in the back of my dad's truck.
|This is me playing dolls in my dad's truck.

We covered a lot of ground in a week. Here are some more photos from Indianapolis, Kansas City, Lawrence, St. Louis & Louisville. Kansas City was interesting, we got to see the headquarters. We met up with Mike Hummell in Lawrence, Kansas (search Hostess Bankery on YouTube) and interviewed him at the bar he works at. Stayed with a good friend in St. Louis and saw a huge Hostess plant. We also made a stop in Louisville to find an old Butternut Bake Shop building that has since been taken over by Habitat for Humanity, which is great. We also found another outlet store, with a ton of open delivery trucks.

He does a few hours almost every day unless it's raining or something else takes precedence. He's gotten the entire deck removed behind the sliding doors now and had to remove the rotten outer rim joist under the door and replace it with pressure treated wood. He's doing that part right now. This photo is a few days old after he'd taken out the joists. The girder will be replaced after he replaces some other pieces here and there including the posts for the stairs. We certainly don't want that falling down at the wrong time.
I finally planted a second set of green beans today, this one is an old variety called Slenderette. I also planted the Celebrity tomato I picked up at Wal-Mart last Thursday when I took Mrs J into Alpena for shopping and lunch. I also went to Tractor Supply and got a new battery for the riding mower we bought there several years ago. They happened to be on sale which was nice and I got the one with 280 cold cranking amps though the sales woman encouraged me to get the bigger one "for only $5 more because it would start anything"! But as I only needed it for a summer mower 280 was all I needed and I kept the $5.
While at WM I was also able to pick up the skein of gray yarn I needed to finish the gray and red Lagniappe shawl I started last month. I had to order one since the local Joann's didn't stock it anymore and they don't have free shipping to the store whic WM does, (it turned out to be cheaper, too). It is a pretty good match for being bought a year apart and I was able to add 3 rows to the shawl last night.
I suppose I had better get back to work now. I still have more tomatoes and one more package of green beans to plant.

I can't wait to see the finished project! At this point, I can already think of future family reunions and gatherings that will happen on your new deck. Hehe! Kidding aside, how's the construction? Have you been renovating other parts of your house too? I want to see more. Keep the updates up! Thanks! :)

Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division
June 17, 2013
STATE OF NEW JERSEY, Plaintiff-Respondent,v.THOMAS FREDERICK, A/K/A/ JAMIL ASANTE Defendant-Appellant.
Argued September 12, 2012
On appeal from the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Hudson County, Indictment No. 94-03-00456.
Nancy C. Ferro argued the cause for appellant (Ferro and Ferro, attorneys; Ms. Ferro of counsel and on the brief).
Stephanie Davis-Elson, Acting Special Deputy Attorney General/Acting Assistant Prosecutor, argued the cause for respondent (Gaetano T. Gregory, Acting Hudson County Prosecutor, attorney; Ms. Davis-Elson, on the brief).
Before Judges Fuentes and Hayden.
Defendant Thomas Frederick appeals from the April 1, 2011 Law Division order denying his motion to correct an illegal sentence. For the reasons that follow, we reverse and remand to the trial court for further proceedings.
The record reveals that on October 6, 1995, a jury convicted defendant of five charges resulting from a carjacking in Jersey City, including counts of first-degree carjacking, N.J.S.A. 2C:15-2; first-degree armed robbery, N.J.S.A. 2C:15-1; first-degree kidnapping, N.J.S.A. 2C:13-1b; second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, N.J.S.A. 2C:39-4a; and unlawful possession of a weapon, N.J.S.A. 2C:39-5b. The convictions stemmed from an incident in which defendant stole a van by threatening the owner with a handgun, then forcing her to accompany him for several blocks.
On May 21, 1996, the trial judge merged the charges of armed robbery and possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, and granted the State's motion for an extended term under the Graves Act, N.J.S.A. 2C:43-6c, on the armed robbery charge. The judge sentenced defendant to fifty years with a twenty-year parole disqualifier on the armed robbery, a consecutive term of ten years with a five-year parole disqualifier on the kidnapping charge, a concurrent term of thirty years with a fifteen-year parole disqualifier on the carjacking charge, and a concurrent term of five years with a two-and-one-half years parole disqualifier on the weapons charge, resulting in an aggregate sentence of sixty years imprisonment with thirty-five years of parole ineligibility. We affirmed both the convictions and the sentence in an unreported decision, State v. Frederick, A-7156-95 (App. Div. Apr. 14, 1998), and the New Jersey Supreme Court denied defendant's petition for certification. 160 N.J. 475 (1999).
Subsequently, on August 6, 1999, defendant filed a petition for post-conviction relief (PCR), which the trial judge denied on May 11, 2000. Defendant appealed, arguing ineffective assistance of counsel, insufficiency of the evidence, unreliability of the victim's identification, and double jeopardy as grounds for reversal of his conviction. We affirmed in an unreported decision, State v. Frederick, A-5105-00 (App. Div. Dec. 17, 2002), and the New Jersey Supreme Court denied defendant's petition for certification. 176 N.J. 429 (2003). On February 5, 2004, defendant filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus with the United States District Court, which was denied. Frederick v. Hendricks, No. 04-519(FSH) (D.N.J. May 31, 2006).
Several years later, on March 14, 2011, defendant filed a pro se motion to correct an illegal sentence pursuant to R. 3:22-12 and requested oral argument. On April 1, 2011, without requiring a response from the State or hearing oral argument, the trial judge issued a written decision, which denied defendant's motion, concluding, without discussion of the merger issue, that it was without merit and time-barred. This appeal followed.
On appeal, defendant raises the following argument for our consideration:

Got together with some of the Knit Nite ladies this evening, which was lots of fun. Tempting stayed home, as it's at a less-than-portable stage (more on that in a sec), so the Bias Corset put in a public appearance.
So, Tempting... apparently, I should trust my knitting instincts a bit more. I had changed the pattern for the neckband ever so slightly, but kept the same ratio of picking up one stitch from the neck to knit together with a stitch on the band on every RS row. And as I was working my way around, I vaguely thought the neck opening looked too wide... but I kept working. I finished, tried it on, and EEEK NO.
Even though I had used a needle one size down for the band, it was lining up with the rest of the sweater in such a way that the neckline was stretched out to its maximum width. I'd either have to wear it as a cowl (which would look weird since it's not designed to be a cowl), or off the shoulder (too "Flashdance"). Thankfully, the band frogged with minimal difficulty, and I think I have the ratio of picked up stitches per row figured out better. So, a bit of a setback, but I'm already almost back to where I was before. We'll see if it works better this time.
Note to self: Considering my usual sizing issues, if something looks too big, it probably is.
I have found something to do with the newly-acquired skein of Lorna's Laces -- the Dream Swatch headband from the Garter Belt. This will be slowgoing, as I seem to have a slight sensitivity to the wool and I can't work with it for extended periods of time. My wool problems are weird. Manos gives me no trouble, but Lorna's Laces makes me itchy? Thanks, histamine response. Maybe if I take some Benadryl before knitting with it... I might end up in a Benadryl coma-nap, but I wouldn't be itchy. Pick your battles, right?
Finally, if you're a fan of The Office on NBC, I'd like to direct you to set aside a chunk of time and head over to Television Without Pity, and more specifically, to Jacob's Tubey's Kids recap of "The Dundies" and "Casino Night". For anyone playing along at home, Jacob is responsible for the TWOP recap of the A Wrinkle in Time tv movie. The book is good. The movie was mindbendingly horrible, and two years later, the recap still holds the title of The Most Hysterical Thing I've Ever Read On The Internet. I was in tears the first time I read it. However, when Jacob is an honest fan of something (as with Serenity, and The Office), he gets into all sorts of insightful character analysis stuff. The recaps of Serenity and these two Office episodes both gave me a bit of a lump in the throat (shut up). No, not exactly the usual TWOP fare.
But lest you think it's probably not funny at the same time, I offer this:
'[...]Needless to say Michael's not what you'd call "rapping" in "time" to the music. It's eerily like what would happen if Bob Dylan worked at Taco Bell post-lobotomy, music video by Crispin Glover.'

I don't remember where I read this, so feel free to take it with a grain of salt, but I could swear that it was discovered that some people's "wool" allergies were actually allergies to what the wool was processed with. Maybe that's what you're hitting? Might be worth giving the skein a good washing, first. :)

Information about whether you can demand a specific treatment, including getting a second opinion and what role the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) plays in recommending NHS treatments.
Your GP doesn't have to prescribe a particular medication or treatment for you if they think it's not the right option. You're entitled to ask for their reasons for the decision.
You're also entitled to make a suggestion and explain to your GP why you believe a certain medication or treatment is a good option.
Remember that:
If you're not satisfied with your GP's advice, you may want to consider getting a second opinion. Although you're not legally entitled to a second opinion, a healthcare professional will rarely refuse to refer you.
You may feel happier with a different GP, but be aware they may give you the same advice.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) regularly looks at new medication and treatments to assess whether they:
NICE will not automatically reject a medication or treatment because it's expensive. NICE recognises that something can be both expensive and represent good value for money.
The NHS in England and Wales is legally obliged to fund medicines and treatments NICE recommends.
This means that when NICE recommends a medicine or treatment, the NHS must ensure it's available to those people it could help, normally within three months of the guidance being issued.
So, if your doctor thinks a medicine or treatment recommended by NICE is right for you, you should be able to get it on the NHS.
The NHS is not legally obliged to fund a medicine or treatment not recommended by NICE, even if your GP thinks it would benefit you.
In fact, most NHS medicines and treatments have never been looked at by NICE. The Department of Health (DH) only asks NICE to provide guidance when there's uncertainty over the use of a treatment.
All medicines must be licensed by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). There is no ban on prescribing licensed medicines NICE has not yet assessed or where a NICE appraisal is in progress.
The DH has issued clear guidance to local organisations, such as clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and NHS Trusts, on what to do when NICE has not issued guidance on a new medicine. In these circumstances, the DH expects CCGs to take into account all the evidence available when deciding whether to fund treatments.

I was born in the nearby village of Wilstead and I am researching my family tree.
I have discovered that my great, great grandmother was born in Cople in about 1835. She was the daughter of Frederick White, also of Cople and Mary Warden. Her name was Jane.
I would love to know if anybody else is researching either the White or Warden families.
Jane became a servant in Eastcotts and it appears that she met my great great grandfather there. His name was John Boston and he was born in Cardington. Later they moved to Wilstead and eventually bought a farm. The farm remained in the family until the 1970's when it was sold and restored. My grandfather was born there.
I believe that they were methodists and I was interested to read that John Wesley preached in the church at Cople. He also preached in St Paul's in Bedford.
