Last weekend was the Big Central Regional Barista Competition, I will post a blog about it soon, but there I had a lot of great conversations with a ton of awesome people in the industry. A common thing that I talked about was how beautiful the Nuova Simonelli Aurelia T3 and how much fun it was to play and use these beautiful machines during competition. It then brought up how frustrated I was to have a machine such as a Brasilia as my espresso machine that I used every day. The common response was honestly not the response I was wanting. The response was something like "so…" Or "and…" I was confused by the response. I was expecting something like "man, I feel sorry for you." Or "how could you deal with that kind of machine."
It was more of a response of… "so… You are a talented barista, it doesn't matter what kind of machine you have." They would continue to explain that the knowledge I gained from this competition, in my constant learning, or experience that it would part of it. And it makes sense.
As a barista we know, because we were taught or learned from experience that water is stupid. It takes the path of least residence. So if you don't pack level, evenly, or with enough pressure. You would have a not so tray shot, or underextracted shot of espresso. You also learn that if a shot us pulling to fast or too slow you can do a couple things… Adjust the grind or adjust the pressure of tamping to make it taste better. These are just a few things to mention that you can change as a barista, but the machine us a different story.
Then there is the machine. There are things you cannot really control, say the even distribution of water flow from the group head. The temperature of the water that comes out of the espresso machine when shots are pulling, but its another we as baristas learn to take care of our machine even if we don't like it. A clean machine is a happy machine. A happy machine makes happy baristas, which altogether make beautiful shots.
It would make sense that if you train your baristas with the knowledge they need, then they will succeed at pulling shots no matter the machine. You need to let them the "why's" in coffee, rather than just telling them how. Let your baristas experiment. They will learn that by tamping light with cause an underextracted shot, or if they tamp too hard it will cause an overextracted shot. So let your baristas experiment, train them in the whys and not the hows.
Be happy where you at. I mean if you were not where you are now, you wouldn't have the experiences you have now or merry the people you did.

Jets Announce Practice Squad, Replace Punter
Now, without further ado, here is your 2009 Jets initial practice squad.
RB Jehuu Caulcrick
DB Emanuel Cook
ILB Kenwyn Cummings
S Keith Fitzhugh
WR Marcus Henry
DT Matt Kroul
OT Ryan McKee
TE Jack Simmons
I'm a little surprised Zach Potter isn't on the list. Brandon Renkart, Danny Woodhead, and Michael Kracalik are all options for the practice squad, too, if they clear waivers. They made the initial 53-man roster before being cleared out for other players, so unless other teams pick them up, there's a good chance they could be back. Woodhead, in my opinion, is the most likely to be claimed elsewhere.
Now, as for Twittergate, there is no update. Cimini reports that the Jets are still looking for a receiver, but not Marshall. Rhodes has no relevant updates to his Twitter.
Cimini has reported on a number of occasions the Jets still are looking at receivers on the trading block. No names have been named, but when there's smoke, there's probably fire. Who the Jets might bring in that would make a serious impact at this point besides Marshall, I haven't the faintest idea.

To some of us Apple snobs, one of the worst fears we have is having our precious iPhones embrace the laws of gravity and fall down. Such was the case when American Michael Guntrum lost his iPhone to a lake while out fishing back in 2015. Through the help of someone, he found the phone, a year after he lost it.
According to a news report, Guntrum was out ice-fishing and when he got a bite on his fishing rod, he sat the phone on his lap and it slipped off. But rather than falling on the snow, it fell through the hole he made for fishing and right into the frozen lake.
A year after losing his phone, Kyle Lake - the place where he fished was drained because of structural deficiencies in the dam around it. This was where treasure hunter Daniel Kalgren entered the story.
Kalgren who went out to the drained lake that day with a metal detector was hoping to score some treasure that people dropped from their boats back when the lake still had water. During his entire search of the area, his metal detector only tripped one signal - Guntrum's iPhone stuck under mud.
So he went home and cleaned the mud off the iPhone, afterwards Kalgren put it in rice 'to see if it would still work' he said.
After two days of rice therapy, the iPhone turned on.
Kalgren proceeded to use the phone to contact Guntrum, and he has confirmed that he will mail the phone to its rightful owner.

If Kamal Haasan had his way, superstar Shah Rukh Khan is the only actor to the court for the Hindi remake of Tamil film Gautham Menon Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu be..
Shahrukh Khan is in a dilemma because he has to choose between the two remakes of Tamil films - and Ramanna Vettaiyaadu AR Murugadoss is Vilaiyaadu. Both offer the King Khan demanded the opportunity to do something is not done before -. A remake of South India with parts that have not tried before, "while the film is a social crusade SRK throws Murugadoss, the movie Menon as a policeman, a role he once played in 2 Ka 4 Shashilal Nair. SRC has never opportunity to come in khaki. Vilaiyaadu Vettaiyaadu This can do, "said a source. Kamal Haasan, the role of police in the search for a serial killer in Vilaiyaadu Vettaiyaadu played original film showed interest in reprising the role in Bollywood version in Hindi film."Kamaljit love Shahrukh. They fit well with the time 12 years ago, SRK agreed, Hey Ram Kamaljit free. When the director Gautham Menon, who respects the opinions Kamaljit understandably asked the actress to play her role in the Hindi version, Kamaljit quickly given the name Shahrukh, "said a source close to the project.
Menon has confirmed its intention to launch SRK and said: "I do not know if the case of Salman Khan is an option for Vettaiyaadu come Vilaiyaadu It is Shahrukh Khan who is the only choice Kamaljit played in the original Tamil While SRK... seems the ideal candidate for the role. "There is another reason why Salman was eliminated early in the race, will play for the police in the Menon film. Kaki Salman has done a little more time. "Shahrukh is in new khaki. Salman has done it and many times. Shahrukh is our man for the role," repeated the source. Vilaiyaadu Vettaiyaadu apparently deadly exploring the same dark black police Talaash space than Aamir Khan. A source close to the project, said the only reason Shahrukh has given final approval for a remake Menon is because they see how Talaash want to receive from the public.

I've got a fair/exhibition (a public flogging as I like to think of it) coming up over the Easter weekend so I've been working on some more small square landscapes.
Really enjoy doing these, although having said that, I did move one on from mediocre to better by attacking it in a rage with yellow ochre. Turned out all right.
There are seven new ones in all, uploaded to my website. If you're near Warkworth on Easter Sunday (April 24th) there's a range of artists and craftspersons showing their stuff in the village hall.

Well, hello, everyone. Long time no see.
I hear there's still life out there in the great big world, even though I can't partake in it because I still have no VPN. So, you know, still no Facebook, Twitter, blogs, Netflix, Pandora, etc. for me.
Yes, I know. The rest of y'all have those things. And to you who can right now get on Facbeook and browse freely to your heart's content, I have only this to say:
Today is a pretty big day for many reasons (none of which have anything to do with it being Valentine's Day).
Reason Numero One: It's my Matthew's 19th BIRTHDAY today!
Ah, Matthew. Here he is, pictured over Christmas break when we were back in the States, at one of his favoritest restaurants, hugging his doting Gramme:
To me, Matthew's 19th birthday is even more of an important milestone than his 18th birthday was. This is because I, myself, was 19 when I had him.
True story - I had just given birth to him and was still in the hospital when the Teenage Mother People came to my hospital room to offer me all manner of whatever help it is that the county offered to teenage mothers back then. And I remember being absolutely shocked because, swear to you guys, it hadn't even crossed my mind that I was, in fact, a teenage mother. I was married! Etc. But during their visit and ever afterward, I was keenly aware of my teenage motherhood status. (And no, we didn't take the county up on whatever its offer was.)
And then later on my husband became a U.S. Diplomat and so THERE YOU HAVE IT, PEOPLE. In America, anyone can be anything. Land of opportunity. And don't even go there with the crap I hear on the internet in some places about how U.S. Diplomats only come from posh, wealthy backgrounds. Can you BELIEVE that a year or two ago, a website that spewed this sort of nonsense (based in another country, which will go unnamed because I am gracious) even used ME (and linked directly to my blog!) as an example of this falsehood?!?! Please. I was a freaking teenaged mother, people. SHEESH. And believe me when I say that we were POOR.
Reason Numero Dos: Theoretically, deep in the bowels of an undisclosed location somewhere in the DC area, another panel for those of us who are leftover summer bidders from last year (like us) will supposedly be meeting.
Now, let's be clear: This will NOT be James' panel. James will NOT be getting an assignment from the panel today. I know this for several reasons. You'll just have to trust me.
I mean, it would be nice, of course, but I'm 100% sure that
But each and every time that the panel doesn't give us anything is STILL a day of learning more than we previously knew. Because when the panel bestows jobs upon other people those jobs are, of course, no longer on the bid list, thus narrowing the bid list for us.
Of course, of this you can be quite certain - the bid list has already narrowed to such smallish proportions that it may well be today's panel that turns the bid list into a funnel that sends my husband down into whatever job vortex remains for those who have been... how to put this... left behind. I fear the vortex.
Ah, bidding. We've basically been bidding now for six months. (James says four months - he counts from when the paneling first started - but I say six because I count from when the list came out and when James first started bidding and sending out lobbying emails.) Six. GLORIOUS. Months. And all along, our mantra has been:
That ain't gonna change now.
The very, very hard part of all of this is that our younger son starts high school in the fall, and right now we have no idea - no idea whatsoever - where we will be then. This means that, even though application deadlines for schools are either this month or have previously passed (some passed last December!), we cannot plan for his schooling. Cannot plan in the slightest.
It's not like I expect State to care about this - it's just that worrying about children and school and application deadlines, etc., especially for a high schooler (!!), really ups the stress level. If both of our boys were graduated and in college/out of the home then this neverending uncertainty would just be - depressing. But now, it's way above depressing and is sliding into painful.
So, anyway, there you have it. Our bidding update. Wish us luck. I am still mindful that DS friends of ours have been summer bidders in one year and haven't been paneled until May of the following year. So, you know - it's only February right now! Theoretically, we have several months to go!

Remember those sneaks I showed a few posts back?????
Anything from here Look Familiar???????
It's time to check out KRAFT IT UP for the AUGUST challenge
Num Num Num - Adam loving his tucker. Right from the time Charlotte started eating when I've finished feeding them I've given the kids the spoons to hold onto, sometimes they can make a bit of a mess if there is food left on them but it's so good for their hand/eye coordination. Adam is loving to try and get his spoon in his mouth :)

Look who decided to come back to the world of blogging...
The holidays have been a whirlwind of family, fun, presents and the worst of all sickness!! I have been constantly sick from December 21st until yesterday. The kind that I would never want to wish on anyone :-(
Now it's time for things to get back to normal, get the house re-organized and start the countdown for the dredded back to work. Aaaaagghh! Did I actually say that, I have to go back to work, booooo. It's about a month early but you gotta do what you gotta do. I'm gonna miss my little man, and maybe his sister too :-)
I would love to be a stay at home mom, but I don't think I would be very good at it. I never have dinner made on time and card making generally takes president to cleaning the house. If only I could win the lottery so that I could stay home and have a maid, lol. Every womans dream!
This weekend I'm going to start off right and clean up my craft room so that I can easily get in some crafting time when I get home from a long hard day at work. And then I hope to have some awesome new cards for you. I might even do some scrapbooking, it's been way too long for that.
Happy Stamping!

Tucked deep into the Appalachian Mountains is the small town of Lovely. A charming and friendly place, the sleepy town gets completely interrupted by the horrific murder of Emily Teller. However disturbing the murder was, the town quickly comes to realize that the murderer wasn't stopping with Emily. The homicides put Daniel Drake, newly appointed Detective, to the test calling into question his timely promotion and budding relationship with Samantha Roberts, local TV reporter.
To Daniel, nothing is more important than catching the killer – at least that's what he thinks. For Samantha Roberts, the murders in Lovely are the breaking stories that could propel her career to new heights, but at what cost? While Samantha and Daniel struggle to deal with their personal demons, Lovely's time as a safe, innocent and charming town fades into the hills that protect it from the vices of the outside world.

Right now this sweet girl and her Mommy are on a plane to the frozen tundra! Miss K's Daddy accepted a job at the University of North Dakota coaching soccer. He has been there since the end of July and now his girls are on their way to join him!
We know this is a great opportunity for their family, but we all thought Cedar City was far, Grand Forks, ND is over 1100 miles away!
We went and gave Ash and Keags big hugs last night! It was almost like saying goodbye to Riley when he left on his mission. :(
Ash if you're reading this....get that blog going that we talked about last night!
We miss you and hope you have an amazing adventure and then get your butts back home!

Easter Part Two
Here is the rest of our Easter fun! Hugh Hefner showed up for Easter dinner in his robe. He looked awesome! There were lots of tractor races. Kenzie missing her big wheel buddy Riley. The empty big wheel is waiting for Riley's return. The biggest brother taking his sister on a crazy ride, that ended with a crash. A sugary yummy Peep cake. Last but not least skating boarding in your church clothes.
That's how we do Easter.... wouldn't change any of it, but Riley being there.

The Wahine was a ferry from Picton to Wellington (South Island to North) that sank in the late 1960s. One of its life rings was at the Lyttleton Maritime Museum. A storm blew up suddenly, and she was pushed onto rocky ledge. All would have been well, except that the lifeboats were also blown up onto the rocks. This took place during the first two weeks of April. Vic and I are due to board one of the replacement ferries today. :)
You will also see sea glass, collected from the bottom of the bay. (The Lyttleton Bay is in a volcanic valley, so to speak; the Alps, otoh, are a creation of plates pushing against one another.) I asked the curator about whether sea glass is typically found on the shore, and she said, "Only at the head of the bay." We didn't have time to get there!
I'm reading a terrific book on the voyages of Captain Cook, as recreated in the modern day. The bottles at the very bottom are from one of his explorations, salvaged from Dusky Bay.

There were three games played in the Southern League South and West this evening.
Bishops Cleeve 1 North Leigh 2
Paulton Rovers 2 Bideford 1
Salisbury 7 Bridgwater Town 0
Top of the League:
Hereford 36/93
Taunton 37/77
Tiverton 37/75
Salisbury 37/74
Evesham 37/73
The attendance at Salisbury this evening was reported to have been 517, that's less than the number of Hereford supporters that made the trip to Salisbury last Saturday. And that number would have been higher had the game not been restricted to season ticket holders only.
Bridgwater will be relegated after their defeat at Salisbury .

Various women's shoes are open-toed shoes, pump shoes, slingback shoes, wedge heels, kitten heels, stiletto, slippers, shoes and sport. They want to know what are the different types of shoes?
Open Shoes
As the name suggests, is an open end at the toes as you look like your thumb and forefinger. The back is usually closed, so that will be used in both formal or informal. The advantage of using these shoes are the foot does not sweat so it is more convenient.
Pump Shoes
To interpret squash shoes pump shoes. So named because it looks like the top of a pumpkin, semi-circular shape. Type of shoe is suitable when combined with a mini-skirt.
Slingback Shoes
This species is characterized by a rope wrapped around the ankle. Often known as moccasin. Suitable for use with an on-line skirt, which can give the impression of your feminine appearance.
These shoes can be reserved for those of you who feel comfortable with small heels. Wedge with the right kind of shoes are the same size from front to back and mingle with the soles of the shoes. The right shoe is not easily broken and is suitable for those of you over weight.

Often called sneakers. Shoes, which are often used during training.

Here are my sister's punch needle creations for the week that she is currently listing on eBay. She is doing so well! I love how she has started a new line of bird make-do's with the face of it all done in punch needle embroidery ~ this week is a Chickadee ~ perfect for a touch of Spring!
You can find her wares here:
I'm going to work out in the garden today. There is much tidying up to do before placing the all important mulch! It gets so hot here in the South over the summer ~ one can never have enough...mulch. Thought I was doing to say diamonds, huh? Well, I've never been one for diamonds ~ I'm more of a "pearls" person. My roses did pretty darn good last summer. The key is feeding them, keeping them pruned properly, giving them lots of water, and treating them at the first sign of "black spot." There is an antique gardening book I have on growing roses which advises you "that there must be no relaxation of effort." Too true!
Gotta go, daylight's burning!

Do you have heard rumors about full-frame mirrorless camera that is supposedly being worked on by Canon? If so, are you excited to have it?
Gossip or rumor is not only fun to talk about the artists, celebrities or your neighbors. Photography enthusiasts can also be excited when discussing rumors about new cameras. Not long ago, Canon is also reportedly working on a full-frame mirrorless camera.
Is this gossip will tempt the enthusiast of high-end camera? As we see, there are many similar options from Sony, Olympus and Panasonic, even Nikon, which is the main competitor of Canon. If of Canon serious to do this, then you will see a new war in the field of full-frame mirrorless camera, of Canon vs. Nikon. Wow.
As we know, a full-frame camera we normally find on a large-sized camera on the group of DSLR cameras. If you are classified as a true enthusiast camera, the presence of full-frame mirrorless camera that is supposedly being made by Canon is certainly very valuable to wait.
If the news of the full-frame mirrorless camera from Canon is not just a rumor, Is it possible that Canon will produce the lenses, which are specially made for this model? If you pay attention to the article on canonrumors.com, maybe Canon will retain EF-M mount lenses. Until today, there is no any official information that could endorses or denied this rumor. This situation would make this rumor will be increasingly debated in various versions. May be there are pros and some cons. In the midst of them, there may be anxious and had no particular expectations to Canon, especially for true fans.
Compared with mirrorless cameras manufactured by Panasonic or Olympus, Fujifilm or Sony, the EOS-M line, which is the Canon mirrorless camera, it has not been successful in this unique type of camera. Instead of innovating to develop a series EOS-M, it turns out we heard rumors about "busyness" Canon to design a full-frame mirrorless camera. Meanwhile Nikon has acquired Samsung NX, so Nikon could adopt and develop its mirrorles camera based on the technology acquired of the Samsung NX.
Is it possible there is a fortune to Canon full-frame mirrorless camera? Nikon is developing the same thing. Moreover Nikon seems to be more efficient because Nikon has successfully acquired the Samsung NX technology. As a fan of the camera, we can only wait to see how the form, features and latest technologies that will be offered by Canon on this new project.
Canon must admit being late in developing a mirrorless camera than the Nikon or Sony, especially when compared to Panasonic and Oympus, both of which are pioneers in this technology. Olympus and Panasonic has successfully developed the technology of Micro Four Thirds (MFT), or mirrorless camera. Perhaps Canon desperately need great luck, and trying harder to compete with other brands that are already well established in this field. While waiting for official word from Canon, maybe we need to look at other camera reviews, so no need to bother look forward to welcoming this new camera.

"I don't know who I am."
"I don't know what to do."
"I'm not sure of what I'm supposed to be."
"I'm not worth anything. I'm a failure."
"No one understands me. (Interpreted as: Only my friends understand me.)"
Sound familiar? I'm sure each of us has had these moments of self-doubt where we question our own identity and our particular purpose for being here. And it usually comes at a time of failure, a time of loneliness,….some kind of "down" time in our life when things just don't seem to be going right.
You know what?
Lift up your head! You are more than who you think you are.
Don't listen to those thoughts that tell you you don't know who you are. That is the voice of the Enemy (and his helpers)…instilling those thoughts into your heart and mind. Don't give him room. He knows who you are from the life before this world, from the war he started with God…and he knows exactly who was against him there. You were. He also knows that you have forgotten who you really are: one who sided with God in that pre-Earth, pre-mortal war. You are one who has particular strengths…and weaknesses…that would be valuable in this mortal Earth life to fulfill Heavenly Father's purposes in helping His children come home to him. You have a particular mission, a role to fulfill, and the Enemy is afraid of what you are capable of doing once you discover it. If the Enemy can just keep you from remembering or even re-discovering that role, that purpose, that identity you have, he thinks he can stop you…at least delay you. And the more he can cause you to doubt yourself by instilling thoughts of "You're worthless. You don't know who you are" and other such nonsense, his delay tactics will keep you onto forgetting who you really are.
Do you know who knows you?
If you think your friends know you more than your parents do…if you think no one knows you…if you think people misunderstand you…let me tell you something: Our Father in Heaven knows who you are. Jesus Christ knows who you are. From our pre-Earth life (the one you've forgotten), and your current Earth life…your life now, they know. You have only forgotten it. We all did. We can't remember who we are…and that's normal. The challenge is connecting with God so He can remind us. And if we're willing to be humble enough to receive what He imparts with us, and obedient enough to follow His instructions that'll help us fulfill the role we were meant to be, it'll be easier for Him to show us who we really are.
Pray to our Father in Heaven…He is real. He is there. And He is involved in your life. Pray to Him…and ask Him to show you who you are. Pray, and be ready to receive what He gives you…and be ready to act on it. And He will speak to your mind, and in your heart. You just have to clear out your "clutter" and "noise" and really listen.
Yes, there are two people who really know us from the life before we came to this Earth: Father in Heaven, and the Enemy.
One will do everything in his power to keep us forgetting who we really are….to stop us from fulfilling our purpose here on Earth. He will attack our identity…and our purpose…and destroy it altogether.
One will show us who we really are…if we want Him to…if we're ready to receive it. And if we take that knowledge of our identity, and purpose, and work with Him to do something, something good, something that helps Him fulfill His purposes…(his Grand Overall Plan…to get us all back home to Him)….then He will show us, little by little, who we truly are…because, once we discover our identity and purpose, the Enemy knows that he is powerless over us…
And with us by God's side, and Christ as our Captain, we are a Royal Army to be reckoned with.
Lift up your head! That is who you are…who you are meant to be…and who you've always been.

Brij Mohan Lall, J.
1. This is a second appeal by a plaintiff against a decree of the learned second Civil Judge of Kanpur who has affirmed a decree of the learned city Munsif of that place. The latter had dismissed the appellant's suit with costs.
2. It appears that the appellant was the tenant of a house. One Gaya Prasad made an application to the House Allotment Officer of Kanpur praying that the house which was in the occupation of the appellant be allotted to him. On that petition the appellant made an endorsement to the effect that he would vacate the house on 30-11-1951. One Kewal Krishna, who was also anxious to get a house for himself, appeared on the scene and he too made an application for the allotment of the said house to him.
When the appellant came to know of Kewal Krishna's application, he intimated to the House Allotment Officer that he did not intend to vacate the house. The result was that the said officer rejected both the applications. Thereafter the appellant left the house and put Gaya Prasad in possession thereof in the first week of December 1951. Gaya Prasad made another application to the House Allotment Officer so that the house might be allotted to him formally. Kewal Krishna again put in appearance and made an application for the allotment of the said house. The allotment was made in favour of Kewal Krishna.
3. It was, in these circumstances, that the appellant brought the suit, which has given rise to this second appeal, for an injunction to restrain Kewal Krishna from taking possession of the house. His contention was that he had not vacated the house and therefore the House Allotment Officer had no right to make any allotment whatsoever. The findings of the Courts below, as already stated, are that the appellant had actually gone out of the house and had no intention of coming back to it. The contention put forward on behalf of the appellant is that since he had given no notice to the landlord determining the tenancy and since he continued liable to him for the payment of rent he had not 'vacated' the said house.
4. It is true that the House Allotment Officer's power to pass an order of allotment arises when the house falls 'vacant'. But the word 'vacant' does not mean that the tenancy should determine. Had it been the intention of the Legislature that the power of allotment should be exercised only after the determination of the tenancy, it would have said so in clear terms. The word 'vacant', as used in the U. P. Temporary Control of Rent and- Eviction Act (3 of 1947) means that the tenant should have ceased to occupy the accommodation with the intention of not coming back to it again. If these conditions are satisfied, the house becomes 'vacant' irrespective of the fact whether the tenant's liability to the landlord for payment of rent has ceased or not. Since the findings in the present case are that the appellant had ceased to occupy the house and had no intention of coming back to it, the house had actually fallen 'vacant, and the House Allotment Officer had jurisdiction to pass the order which he did.
5. The propriety of the order passed by the House Allotment Officer cannot be gone into in these proceedings. It is not for this Court to say as to whether Kewal Krishna had a better right or Gaya Prasad. That was a matter within the jurisdiction of the House Allotment Officer.
6. In the circumstances, I find no force in this second appeal. It is dismissed under Order 41, Rule 11, C. P. C.

during bedtime, for my younger one.
The story begins…..
Kamsan was taking the newly married bride and groom, who happens to be his beloved sister Devaki and her husband Vasudevan in a chariot. Just then there was a divine voice, which said that Devaki's 8th child will kill Kamsan. So, Kamsan wanted to kill his sister and her husband. But Vasudevan and Devaki pleaded with Kamsan to spare them and promised to give the babies, when they are born to Kamsan. So….
Ma, stop…..stop……I dont like this talk by Vasudevan and Devaki….What kind of parents are they ???? Instead of telling that they'll sacrifice their own lives for the sake of their unborn babies, they agree to give their just-born babies to be killed by Kamsan ???? What kind of justice is this ???? How did the parents agree to get their babies killed ?????
No dear, all these were meant to happen, because only then Krishna will be born as the 8th child and kill Kamsan.
But, instead of allowing all the 7 babies to die in the hands of Kamsan, Krishna could've born as the first child na….
The God gave Kamsan, lots of opportunities to correct himself…probably the God was thinking that he might feel bad to kill a child and there by his Asura character might get changed…
Ma, when an Asura does something bad, he needs to be punished rightly and immediately.
My darling, why dont u re-write this story, on your own ???? Lemme catch some sleep…..
I've read this Krishna story in different versions and by various authors, but never once did I think like this. Indeed, this is the new age thinking. 🙂

Nathalia must bounce back from its first loss of the season without a key member of its side.
Young star Bowen Smith has torn the medial ligament in his knee and will miss up to eight weeks of football.
The Purples will regain the services of captain Jarrod Maskell and defender Phil Carroll and it is the duo's experience coach Craig Kellow is most looking forward to having back on deck.
''It is the smaller things that we could have done better last week,'' he said.
''We've gone through some of the simple things that we need to think through when the game is in the balance.
''Those two will add a lot of experience, which is good when you have a young side.''
After Echuca United took the scalp of Barooga last week, Kellow knows today's match will be a hard-fought one.
''We are very wary of what Echuca can do and what they are capable of,'' he said.
''They are one of the form teams in the competition and there's no doubt that it will be a tough game.''
Meanwhile, the Eagles are confident in their ability to engineer two upset victories in as many rounds.
''It was a really great effort last week that I believe we can repeat again,'' coach Guy Campbell said.
''We're of the realisation that one week of good performance isn't enough.''
After a huge influx of players entered the club in the off-season, Echuca United seemed to struggle to gel as a unit in the early stages of the year.
If the Eagles can snare a win against the Purples today, it will surely go a long way to ensuring the side continues to knit together as a team.
''The chemistry of a side is hard to fast track, it comes when it comes,'' Campbell said.
''I'm rapt with how it is coming together, but it is still only early days with such a new group.''

My 2 cents...
a running commentary on life events...
Thursday, January 05, 2012
let's begin again...
I can't believe I'm able to see yet another year! When the cancer recurred 4 months ago, I didn't think I would make it since it's my 3rd diagnosis, but here I am, still kicking! So much has happened this year. Met new friends, visited other countries, almost changed jobs, and I purchased a house. The feeling is both exciting and overwhelming. I never stayed in one place for more than 3 years since I joined the Air Force in 1987. So, purchasing a house in a place I never thought I would live is a little overwhelming. Oh well, I won't let a mere house to stop me from traveling...as a matter of fact, I'm flying out next month to see friends and family in Asia. My plans of retiring in Hawaii is also still a go. Anyway, may 2012 be as fruitful and full of excitement like 2010! I'm hoping to do bigger and better things for this year! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

dream post and my synchronous stumbling upon this video, it clear to me that my Scandinavian patroness is revealing herself! Teutonic FRAU HOLLE is the ancient mother witch goddess of the Teutons. This artistic image shows her with a crown of candles on her head. Along with finding the ancestral patroness of my magickal candle crafting, I have claimed my Teutonic sacred witch name. It is Lorilla, the Teutonic version of my actual birth name. My Teutonic name describes my personality exactly:
Meaning: Elfin Laura.
Soul Urge: People with the name Lorilla have a deep inner need for
quiet, and a desire to understand and analyze the world they live in,
and to learn the deeper truths.
Expression: People with the
name Lorilla are excellent at analyzing, understanding, and learning.
They tend to be mystics, philosophers, scholars, and teachers. Because
they live so much in the mind, they tend to be quiet and introspective,
and are usually introverts. When presented with issues, they will see
the larger picture. Their solitary thoughtfulness and analysis of people
and world events may make them seem aloof, and sometimes even
The candle I create for my patroness is going to be something very very special.

January went by very fast for me. I am happy to say that my goal of getting up at 5:30 is going very well. I had few days that it was hard due to late nights or sick kids. But I am actually enjoying my 1.5hr of time to myself, with the Lord, with my husband, and cup of tea! I haven't been able to get together with my neighbors that has been disappointing, but I am finding other ways to get in language time and I still visit with them when I go to their store. For now I feel like we have found a good balance of life and study, some days are better than others but its going well. The Lord continues to challenge my thinking in how to do ministry as a family, how to teach my kids and work as an effective team with my husband.
Some other highlights of January are as follows...
Kids dressed up for church
We helped a family move, they are heading into the tribe some time this year and we were very excited to help them move but sad as well to see them go. They have been good friends a great encouragement to us!
Jade being silly with Jonas and playing with doilies, they make great hats.
My reading list for the month, but really it will take me the next 6 months to get through all these. I have finished two and I am half way through 4 of them:-)
We spent a great day at a friends farm.
Jamen caught his first fish!
Jade got scared of the fish, this is a not a posed picture.
Jamen made a friend
Jonas had a good time as well
Jamen had fun feeding the cows
Our day at the farm ended in us being very sick, to read more visit the link below.
Well, that was January in a nut shell, check back in two weeks to hear about our Feb and our trip!

"How do you know?"
"She always leaves it unlocked."

My mom and I decided yesterday to try getting in shape by running. We're both quite out of shape at the moment, so we're following one of those "Beginner's Guides to Training for a 5K" which starts out with walk/run intervals to slowly build up your stamina. I know so many friends who have lost a big chunk of weight through running, and after buying a size 12 dress the other day (gasp! I'm usually an 8) I'm turning to drastic measures (drastic b/c I personally despise running). However, I've also heard a lot about barefoot/minimalist running, which is supposed to be better for your body in general. Supposedly running shoes are so large and bulky that they cause you to run in an "unnatural way" which is what can lead to shin splints, heel spurs, etc. My brother in law also runs long distances in his barefoot running shoes and loves them, so I'm going to trust him and give it a shot.
I went and got me a pair of Vibram 5 Finger shoes and am going to rotate between them and my actual Adidas running shoes until I break myself in to them. The shoe salesman and my BIL both told me that I'll be really sore b/c you use completely different muscles for minimalist running as opposed to what most people do, and since I work 12 hour shifts I have to be able to walk! Today is going to be my first day trying them so for anyone interested, I'll update later on down the road and let you know if I stuck with them or not.
The new shoes (ugly, but actually confortable so far):

Overdid it this weekend and worsened my cold--a deep, chesty cough has settled in, but what else does one expect from me?
Spent the weekend baking--Saturday was the only day I could get anything done for World Bread Day. Went through the beautiful "Home Baking" by Alford and Duguid for inspiration, but decided that all that was needed was a hearty loaf. Found it in Edna's Schmecks, via Neil's Harbour Bread. I made one small modification: used milk instead of water since I had too much unused milk in the carton and it was due to go off on Monday. Good thing I did as it was as thick as buttermilk this morning. If I had the time I'd make pancakes or make some cakes, but I'm out of town for most of the week and I need to get homework done.
Afterwards, felt too tired to do anything, so TFE and I retreated to the very drafty booth in the pub--probably a good contributor to this cough.
Sunday I was industrious and did some cookbook reviewing. Great book--a near-perfect pie (by my standards) and wonderfully moist brownies. Great writing contributed to probably the best pie crust yet. The romantic in me fell for the backstory of the brownies...not a disappointment.
Woke up feeling horrid. Tired and horrid. Needed easy supper tonight after a long day at work. Mushroom and cheese omelet hit the spot.

There are currently two registries and two large clinical studies involving the ER-REBOA™ Catheter.
The AAST Aortic Occlusion for Resuscitation in Trauma and Acute Care Surgery registry was initiated in 2013 and prospectively identifies and collects data for trauma patients requiring AO from several ACS Level 1 centers in the United States. Presentation, intervention, and outcome variables are being collected and analyzed to compare REBOA and open AO. There are now significant numbers of ER-REBOA™ patients enrolled in this registry. An interim report was published in the Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery in 2016 and a final report is expected in 2018.
The multicenter ABO trauma registry was established in September 2014 when REBOA practicing centers in 6 countries (Sweden, Italy, Finland, Russia, Israel, and Japan) were invited to join. The registry includes both retrospective and prospective REBOA cases. Demographics, injury patterns, hemodynamic variables, REBOA-specific data, complications and 30-days mortality are being reported and analyzed. An interim report was published in the European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Medicine Surgery in August 2017 and future reports are planned by the authors.
DoD funded Emergent Truncal Hemorrhage Observational Study
The DoD funded Emergent Truncal Hemorrhage Observational Study was initiated in June 2017 and includes six Level 1 Trauma Centers in the US. The study will collect detailed prospective information on current use of the Prytime ER-REBOA™ Catheter and other emergent truncal hemorrhage control interventions (open thoracotomy, IR, or laparotomy), outcomes and complications after treatment of non-compressible truncal hemorrhage arising below the diaphragm in up to 500 patients.
The UK REBOA Trial is a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial of 120 adult patients age 16 or older with confirmed or suspected life-threatening torso hemorrhage, which is thought to be amenable to adjunctive treatment with REBOA, who present to a major UK trauma center. The study compares standard major trauma center treatment plus REBOA, compared with standard major trauma center treatment alone. The primary clinical outcome will be 90-day mortality (defined as death within 90 days of injury, before or after discharge from hospital). The primary economic outcome will be lifetime incremental cost per quality adjusted life year gained, from a health and personal social services perspective.

After packing most of our stuff yesterday we loaded the last bits this morning and got away as planned about 11.30am. The first stop as usual was at Sourton Services for lunch and then we pushed on to the Devizes campsite that we always use. While Mike had a much earned rest I took Hamish for a walk along the towpath after his supper.
We ate and turned in early as we had a long motorway drive tomorrow.

reach for the stars, or bubbles...
we've gotten on more of a routine finally; i joined a gym, so that gets us out of the house 3x's a week and starting in september, she'll go to a "mothers' day out" program one day a week for 3 hours. because she's doing so great when we leave her at the church and gym nurseries, i'm not even a bit hesitant about this program. i know she and i both need it, so i'm looking forward to it!
on our 'non-gym' days, we read a lot of books, blow a lot of bubbles and try to make it to some playgroup dates.
i am having soo much fun being a mommy. it's incredible to watch her grow-by the way, she's walking more than crawling and smiles so big at herself while doing it!
we had her 15-month well baby appointment yesterday-she's still in the 17 pound range but healthy! praise God! it's so funny to watch her, watch the doctor. she sits soo still and quiet and looks as if she's taking it all in. she likes to reach for the stethascope, too. hmmmm. there's a book we have at home that has a picture of a baby dressed as a doctor, which she always points to...

what a precious pic, I just realized that you made a comment on my blog and I didn't know until now.
I just had to mess with it for a while and I deleted it on accident a few times, that was frustrating. But when you keep loading pics you just load one right on top of the other so you have to load them in backward order that you want. Also I clicked on different places for each pic to be in the upload picture it shows a pic of a tree and I just tried to fit the letters in random places. I also have a little more time to mess with it because I don't have a little bitty C.P. that wants to play with me all the time. I wish I did though. Love and miss you guys.

Hey I just read your note after I left you one and I just joined a gym too, yesterday. I'm excited about it.

Posted by The Speedgeek at 11:02 PM
I finally got the second laptop up and going, so that I can dedicate one to the IMSA.com feed and the other to blogging and catching up on other sports and what not (while switching the TV around between tennis, NBA and whatever else is on), and was just enjoying the seamless High Def feed and excellent commentary from John Hindhaugh and crew. However, just now, the defending champion #5 Action Express Racing Corvette DP stopped on track in the infield with no fuel pressure. It's been brought back into the paddock area on a flatbed, so it's already multiple laps down, with more laps down yet to come. That's one of the main contenders in trouble before Hour 10...

Getting Rid Of Warts
Getting rid of warts is a process that may take more than just one day. In fact, to remove warts can take up to weeks, months, or probably years. Warts are a type of infection caused by human papilloma virus (HPV) family. There are over 100 types of HPV. Warts can grow on any area of your body. They can grow on your skin inside your mouth on your genitals and also your rectal area. There are common types of HPV that tend to cause warts on the skin (such as hands, toes, and fingers). However, other types of HPV that to cause warts to grow on the genitals and rectal area. Some people are more naturally resistant towards HPV and do not seem to get warts as easily as others.
Can Warts Be Passed On To Others?
Warts can be transmitted from one person to person because it is contagious. Yes, the warts on the skin can be transferred to another person if that person touches the warts. It's also possible to contract warts if you happen to use the same towels or other objects that were used by a person who has warts.
Warts especially on the genitals area are very contagious and can spread to another person during any kind of sexual contact whether it's oral, vaginal or anal sex. It is very important not to have unprotected sex with your partner if he/she has warts on their genital areas. In women, warts can appear on the cervix (inside the vagina), and most times a woman isn't aware that she has it. She may transmit the infection to her sexual partner without her knowledge.
Do Warts Go Away By Themselves?
Sometimes warts will disappear on their own, but it may take several months or even years before the warts disappear. However, some warts will not go away by themselves. Doctors aren't really sure why some warts disappear and others do not.
Can Warts On The Skin Be Treated?
In general, yes. Common warts can be embarrassing. They can bleed and cause pain when they are damaged. It can also be annoying, for instance, the ones that grow on your face. Treatment might help to decrease the chance of the warts growing or spread to different areas on your body or others.
How To Remove Warts?
However, you should keep in mind that it's important to know the warts on the skin in areas (such as fingers, feet and knees) and on the genitals can be removed in different ways. Under no circumstances should you attempt home remedies and/or not even over-the-counter drugs to remove warts that are on the genitals. Your genital area could be severely damaged by using certain chemicals on it. It is imperative that you do not attempt to try and remove warts from your face without consulting your doctor first.
Here Are Some Ways To Remove Warts On The Skin:
• Apply the salicylic acid. There are other treatments that can be use for remover or slow down the growing process of warts on places such as hands, feet or knees. Salicylic acid (one brand name: Compound W) is commonly used to remove warts. For best results, you must apply the acid every day for several weeks. After taking a bath or shower, gently pat your skin dry with a towel. Then apply salicylic acid on the warts. The acid sinks in deeper and works better than when it's applied to wet skin. Before taking a shower or a bath the next day, use an emery file or pumice stone to file away dead surface of the warts.
• Applying cantharidin. Sometimes your doctor might use cantharidin to remove warts. Using this treatment, the doctor will apply the chemical onto the wart. Most people do not really feel any pain when the chemical is being applied to the wart. But after about 2-8 hours you will start experiencing some mild pain and blisters on the wart. The doctor will put bandage over it after the cantharidin treatment is completed. Bandage can be removed within 24 hours. When a mixture of cantharidin and other chemicals are used, remove the bandage after 2 hours. The doctor will remove the dead skin and wart on your next visit. In some cases, if the wart is not gone after one treatment, your doctor may suggest another treatment.
• The application of liquid nitrogen. Most doctors like using liquid nitrogen to freeze the wart because it's an easier process. This treatment is known as cryotherapy. The application of liquid nitrogen to the wart may causes a little discomfort at first but nothing to worry about because it goes away as fast as it comes. If you want to remove a wart completely, use liquid nitrogen treatments every 1-3 weeks for a total of 2-4 times. If you notice that no improvement has been found, then your doctor will recommend other treatments.
• The Laser treatment is another method for removing warts on the skin. The physician uses the laser to remove warts on the skin is by burning the wart, a laser is used to cut the wart or removing the wart from your skin. Although, these treatments are very effective they sometimes leave a scar. They are usually reserved for warts that have not cleared with other treatments.

Same-Sex Marriage Redux
Thus, Lisa Kaiser reports in the Wednesday, August 13, issue of Shepherd Express, "Same-sex couples are registered in 98 of 100 southeastern Wisconsin Zip codes" Her source is Denise Cawley, a media consultant for the Cream City Foundation.
According to Susan Bence, reporter for WUWM, Ms. Cawley "helped the advocacy group come up with its billboard campaign." On Thursday, August 14, Ms. Bence on NPR Morning Edition reported, "Cawley says in the last census gay and lesbian, bisexual and transgender families registered in every Zip code across the nation."
Also on Thursday, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ran a laudatory article by Georgia Pabst about the Cream City Foundation campaign to battle "stereotypes." Ms. Pabst did not include any "Zip code" statistics.
The Zip code statistic broadcast by WUWM is significantly different from the one published in Shepherd Express. Ms. Bence reported that there are LGBT "families" "in every Zip code across the nation." Ms. Kaiser reports only on same-sex couples – thereby relieving us of trying to figure out what a "bisexual family" is – and finds them "in 98 of 100 southeastern Wisconsin Zip codes." Neither Ms. Bence nor Ms. Kaiser explains with whom these "families" are "registered" or why. Ms. Bence makes a passing reference to "the last census."
In email correspondence both Ms. Bence and Ms. Kaiser confirmed that their source was media consultant Denise Cawley. Subsequently, Ms. Cawley owned up to only the 98 of 100 statement. The basis is not the 2000 U.S. Census, as implied by WUWM's Susan Bence, but that census interpreted by UCLA's Williams Institute. The Williams Institute is also a gay advocacy organization.
Both Zip code statistics are false and appear to be the invention of Ms. Cawley and the Cream City Foundation.
Neither the U. S. Census nor the Williams Institute reports their findings by Zip code.
The reason Zip codes are not used in demographic reports is most likely that the United States Postal Service does not assign Zip codes by geographical area. Zip codes are assigned to facilitate mail volume.
For example, the city of Milwaukee alone has 43 Zip codes. Ten of these are "unique." Unique Zip codes are given to corporations and other entities that receive a high volume of mail. There are no families of any kind receiving mail at these Zip codes.
The only way one can have 98 of 100 Zip codes in southeastern Wisconsin with gay families is to cherry-pick the 100. Such cherry-picking, however, would invalidate the gay neighbor claim of the Cream City Foundation.
What has been done here is not mere advocacy, but propaganda. False information, disguised as quantifiably verifiable fact, is being used to argue that same-sex families are the same as heterosexual families.
It may seem a small matter. However, if the Cream City Foundation is false in this small matter, how can they be trusted concerning the larger question?
WUWM, Shepherd Express, and even the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel are all complicit in promoting Cream City's propaganda. True, MJS did not report the Zip code statistic, but neither did it expose the falsehood of what is obviously part of Cream City's press release. All three "news" organizations merely passed on what was fed to them – without the least concern for veracity.
In 2006, a clear majority of Wisconsin voters passed a constitutional amendment supporting marriage as the union between a man and a woman. At the time, the proponents of gay marriage denounced the vote as bigoted and based on ignorance. The Cream City Foundation has launched a campaign to combat this "ignorance" with falsehood. And they have willing confederates in a significant portion of the Milwaukee media.

Even if the statistics weren't skewed, so what? Let's run the math another way.
If it is true that most marriages are a failure because one or the other spouse is an adulterer, then it is a safe bet that one or more of my neighbors is a cheater. But we've gotten used to living with "your cheatin' heart," so it doesn't matter how many are living in which zip codes any more. In fact, according to some sources, such activity shows maturity. So I suppose the new social maturity is tolerance of homosexual and gay marriages?
(Give me a moment while I shudder.)
I can recall a time when the Army sent home a wife from Germany because she was cheating around. She was deemed an unfit military wife. My son informs me that soldiers in Iraq use MySpace to cheat on their spouses. Relationships are formed, and meetings are arranged for during leave from Iraq or return from there. Marriages are broken from that. Happens in the civilian world, too. I wonder what the zip code demographics for that would be?
I'm not saying that it's fine and dandy to allow homosexual and gay marriages. What I am saying is that we've "healed the wound so lightly" (Jer 8:11) that now the greater sins are no longer an offense to us. Where children would scarce speak with insolence to an adult, now they insist it is their God-given right to be treated as an adult as soon as they can speak.
The film "Swing Vote" has much to say to us in this regard.

Well, I'm not from Wisconsin. I'm from Virginia where my fellow citizens passed a constitutional amendment (actually, it was a desecration of Thomas Jefferson's beautifully written VA Declaration of Rights) that made my 25 year marriage "unconstitutional". I worked for many months to stop that amendment and worked with people from all over the State of Virginia. I can say with a high level of certainty that there are non-traditional families in every single county in Virginia.
What is a non-traditional family? It is a family where one or both members is Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual of Transgender (LGBT); and either:
1. The perceived gender of the two heads of household is the same
2. The perceived gender of the two heads of household is "traditional" but the biological sex of one or both members does not conform to the perceived gender (see case of
Thomas Beatie.)
You ask how bisexual persons can be members of non-traditional families. Seriously, you don't know? If I bisexual person marries a spouse of the same perceived gender, that person is a member of a non-traditional family. Marriage is a covenant commitment to share the your life (all of it) with your soul mate, for life. In marriage, two become "one flesh" or one family.
I get the feeling that people see the word bisexual and all they think about is sex. No wonder marriage is "under fire". If marriage is reduced to mere sex (or sex + babies) and there is no true heartfelt covenant, it's most likely an adulterous marriage (per Jesus' definition in Matthew).

Jonanthan, You need to work on your writting. Simple and direct is best.
I think you are saying you had a same-sex marriage, recognized by the state of Virginia, until a constitutional ammendment was passed which invalidated it. If that is what you are saying I find it incredible. I doubt that Virginia recognized such marriages before the ammendment past.
If you are attempting to define marriage according to Holy Scripture, it is insufficient to say, "Marriage is a covenant commitment to share the your life (all of it) with your soul mate, for life."
Biblically, marriage is always the union of a man and a woman. Male and female are "made one flesh."
The Bible is explicit in condemning homosexual practice. What that means for Christians requires another essay, but there is no disputing that the Scriptures are clear on this subject.
What I was inferring about bisexuals is that one cannot be a practicing bisexual and be in a faithfully monogamus marriage. Hence this cannot be a family like hetersexual families.
Again, if I have misunderstood your post I am sorry. However your convoluted, adjective-burden, sentence are somewhat to blame.
It appears that you, like the Cream City Foundation, are straining to defend the indefensable.
- Jonathan said...
Michael James Hill,
Yes, my writing, re-writing and proofreading are lacking. Maybe I shouldn't have posted personal information. Regardless, the information I posted was factual. My marriage was not "unconstitutional" prior to the passage of VA Amendment 1.
You did miss the point of my comment. Think mathematically and conservatively. If 1% of the population is GLBT and the smallest VA county has a population of 10,000 people, there will be 100 GLBT people in that county. Odds are pretty high that at least two of them will be partnered. Since counties contain many more people than 10,000, the claim that *all* counties contain GLBT families is true.
You may be justified to criticize the zip code methodology, but not the conclusion that there are GLBT families everywhere. That's a fact and it's indisputable.
Your reference to a "practicing bisexual" is very funny. You may have lost your focus and forgotten what marriage is. Please re-read Matt 5:28
"But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart"
and Matt 15:11.
"Not what goes into the mouth defile a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man."
Jesus is very clear and unambiguous. What is "the practice" to which you infer? Is it the carnal "what goes into the mouth"? Or is it the spiritual "what comes out of the mouth"?
- Michael James Hill said...
Jonathan, You are not well.
You were not married in Virginia before the constitutional amendment passed. You are not married now. Nothing has changed.
More importantly, you are not married in the eyes of God. If the USA passed a constitutional amendment recognizing so-called gay marriage, you still would not be married in the eyes of God.
You quote Scripture out of context and without regard to relevance. God condemns both adultry and homosexual pactice and calls for repentance.
You should read those passages of Scripture that speak directly to the subject. You might begin with Romans 1:26,27. Scripture does not contradict itself. So there is nothing in Scripture which nullifies this passage.
I do not know that 1% of the population is LGBT evenly distributed throughout the country,as you assume. Nor do I care. If 1% of the population were thieves that would not make theft acceptable.
We are off topic. The point of the post is the the CCF made false claims to make their case. That is because their major premise, that homosexual coupling is essentially the same as marriage between a man and a woman, is wrong.

Sunday evening my work called me to see if I was able to go down to Oklahoma on Monday and drive a bus up with a few other guys, just like I did last week from IL. I was able. So I was at work at 3AM Monday and we piled into a cha
rter van like this one, but ours had an AC unit on the top back-->
A lot of reading and sleeping. Somewhere around Iowa and Missouri we entered triple digit temperatures. The van was our inverted oven. The windows were very hot to the touch from the outside temperatures.
We arrived in Oklahoma at around 4PM. The bus manufacturing facility was huge. It was an old military bomber factory in its history, I guess. Paperwork was processed and we ran down a checklist on our brand new buses. If it was over 100 degrees outside, imagine what it was inside the buses!
We were on the road at about 5pm, but then it took over an hour to fill all 7 buses at the very first diesel station. Eventually we got going. Drove for about an hour and a half to Joplin, MO to a hotel our leader was familiar with. Got in at about 7 and finished paperwork and logbooks at around 8PM.
Comfortable Hotel. I roomed with 3 other guys while another room held 3 more. 7 in total. Mark, Marty, Josh and I in one room. Dave, Steve and Kirk in the other.
We had a very good breakfast at about 6 and headed North just after 7. Somewhere in Iowa three of the fellas kind of took off ahead lead by the grumpy Mark. He wasn't excited about following anyone else's bus- even when I was leading most of the way. Someone passing him lead to him trying to one-up them and they went on ahead.
When the van needed to refuel, Dave just had us remaining three fill up our tanks which made us good for the rest of the trip. He drove off to go find the other jokers so they could have means to refuel- I believe they would be waiting for him in Albert Lea, MN. That left Marty, Josh and I to make our way by ourselves.
We decided to stop at the last rest stop in Iowa- a two level barn which was very nice. Once we had our rest we got back onto 35. As I passed the exit for Albert Lea, Mark fell in right behind my bus. He stayed there all the way back to base. The other two jokers were about 5 minutes ahead of us.
With a few stops for stretching and one for fuel we made it back to the Twin Cites at about 6:30 to 7pm.
It was a good trip. And a good bus.

Turkey Butt and I have been thinking about the future. We are trying to determine where in this beautiful country we would like to live. Where we can find jobs we will love that provide the opportunity for advancement. Where we would be happy raising our children! After comparing the pro's and con's of many places, our collective focus seems to be on Vancouver Island.
I have been lucky enough to have travelled over much of the island as well as reside there for almost a year. Turkey Butt is just living through my memories at the moment. I've spent the last few hours collecting photos and links to my favorite locations(Canyon View Trail in Campbell River, Coombs Market, Murals in Chemainus, etc) so I can give him a visual tour. I'm also trying to find some really amazing restaurants that my little Turkey Butt can work in (Painter's Lodge outside Campbell River, Poet's Cove Resort, etc).
We're looking to head out there next May to Sept assuming we can save enough funds. Anyone with suggestions on great towns to live in, great restaurants to work in or even how much it might cost to drive cross country, let us know! This is my life:)

Apple seems focused on marking its mark in Europe recently, first with the launch of its online store in the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland.
However, its plans across the Atlantic don't stop there: the company is also launching its Apple TV in another seven countries from Tuesday.
Those countries that make it on to Apple's list include Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. Apple's memo reads:
All-new Apple TV Now Available for Order in Seven New Countries
We are delighted to announce the all-new Apple TV, with an enhanced user interface and a breakthrough price point, is now available to order in Belgium, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland.
It will be interesting to see how much more expensive the device will be across the pond.

Fields Where They Lay, by Timothy Hallinan
Junior Bender really does not like Christmas. Give him a while and he might tell you why, but it's a really long and sad story.
Which makes it rather ironic that his latest "job" — read "being forced to help an LA crook by another LA crook, because he's too smart for his own good" — is taking place during the lead-up to that holiday.
This Christmas, Junior's playing Mall Cop at the delightfully dilapidated Edgerton Mall, with its empty storefronts, questionable music, and not one but two Santas. Apparently, the mall has an extremely serious shoplifting problem — one that Junior, being one of the best cat burglars around, has been called in to break.
That might not be so bad, except that this is a puzzle that's baffling even Junior. Unfortunately his "employer" is a very dangerous man with a silly name who wants results very quickly. And he's not only quite happy to threaten everyone Junior loves if he doesn't get his way, he probably means it, too.
As if that wasn't bad enough, Junior's mysterious girlfriend is also not a fan of Christmas, to the point that Junior's attempts to cheer her up seem bound to ruin their relationship. And then there's the fact that people are trying to kill him, either for doing his job or not doing it fast enough…
In the past, when faced with adversity, Junior likes to take the middle road, and play his threats against one another. This time he doesn't really have that opportunity, and he's going to have to rely on his other skills — and questionable network of friends and allies — to see him through the holiday he hates.
Saying that Fields Where They Lay is going to be your new favorite holiday mystery-thriller might seem an idle boast, but there's a lot to recommend here. As always, Hallinan combines well-timed plot beats and criminal know-how and ingenuity with the same rough justice and quiet decency that drives his Poke Rafferty novels, all spiked with lot of very wry humor and keen social commentary disguised as cynicism (or vice versa).
In Fields, however, the combination of a semi-comedic yet deadly adversary — think a Russian mobster Donald Trump as a Pantomime villain — along with the faint hope of saving Christmas on a personal level kicks this story up another notch. Once again, Timothy Hallinan's given us a book to cheer, and a character to cheer for, but this outing is like a sweet little holiday story… with dead bodies, live crooks, and a wartime reminiscence that's both heartwarming and terrifying.
Fields Where They Lay has been getting a lot of well-deserved buzz — read it and you'll see why. It drops on October 25, it will be available at all Schuler Books and Music locations, and can be ordered from our website.

Spiritually Saving: 607 Words Are Changing the World
Dr. Dollahite quotes President Hinckley in his introduction to the book ("Strengthening the Family: An In-Depth Look at the Proclamation on the Family") as he describes the importance of the Proclamation:
'Why do we have this proclamation on the family now? Because the family is under attack. All across the world families are falling apart. The place to begin to improve society is in the home. Children do, for the most part, what they are taught. We are trying to make the world better by making the family stronger.' (Sheri L. Dew (1997), Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley, (Salt Lake City: Deseret Book), 209)
Later in his introduction, Dr. Dollahite gives several reasons why applying scholarly applications to the principles of the Proclamation are beneficial:
"The Proclamation can serve Latter-day Saint families as a modern-day Liahona (1 Ne. 17:2-3) to guide them in the challenges of contemporary family life. The Proclamation sets out a divinely inspired pattern for ideal marriage and family living. any person, couple, or family who prayerfully seeks to strengthen their understanding and testimony of the principles in the Proclamation and who moves forward with faith in applying those principles will be blessed and strengthened as family members. Since the volume is filled with sound scholarship supporting the Proclamation, a person who makes a careful study of this book will also be able to articulate and defend fundamental principles of strong families with confidence in a variety of settings." (page 4)
"Some who read the Proclamation may wonder how a volume of hundreds of pages could be generated in response to that 607 word, straight-forward statement of doctrine and principle. The Proclamation, like other inspired documents such as the Articles of Faith or the U. S. Constitution, packs a great amount of truth with a large number of implications into a few inspired words."
(Pages 3-4)
I invite you, even if you are a family of one, to strengthen your family by studying the Proclamation. I know it is an inspired document. It truly does have "a large number of implications [in] a few inspired words." Give those 607 inspired words a chance to be applied to your own life by asking God to teach you how each principle applies to you and then go forth and live what you learn. If you do this one simple thing, you truly will be strengthening the entire world by focusing on family.
Be Inspired,
Janelle Joy
