None of my co-workers in my new job had any interest in the J.League, so it was going to be up to me to find a team with no influence/interest from others.
I was living in Tokyo, but was almost as close to Yokohama and Kawasaki (and Hiratsuka) as I was to central Tokyo, so there were quite a few teams in my area. Little did I realise that my choice would be made in a convenience store, and because of an expression coined by that Dutchman with the dodgy perm, but thats how it happened one day, when I walked down to my local am/pm to buy god knows what.
am/pm just happened to be the shirt sponsor of FC Tokyo at that time, and at first I laughed to myself when I saw this poster (see above) in the window. But then I thought, hey, if these guys play Sexy Football, then that's my decision made, I'm in!
Due to working weekends, I was stuck with following results only, and I didn't actually go to a game until May 2002, when I got my first taste of a Tokyo Derby, albeit a midweek League Cup game in front of 6,500 fans. We came from behind to win, and it made me doubly glad I had chosen The Gasmen over Tokyo Verdy (or The Spews as I call them), as the away end contained all of about 100 dirty greens that night.
Also due to work I wasn't able to be at the League Cup Final in 2004, when we won our first major trophy, beating the dispised Urawa CubicZirconias on penalties, but I started going more regularly in 2006, and then properly took the plunge in 2009, getting my first season ticket.
And what a season it was, 2009: we finished fifth, our best-ever finish, and the undoubted highlight was that sunny Tuesday in November, when we won the League Cup for a second time, beating our neighbours from across the Tama River, Kawasaki, 2-0.
On TV I'd watched Liverpool win the Champions League (among other trophies), and Essendon win AFL Grand Finals, but that day was the first I'd ever had when one of my teams won a trophy while I was there. Absolute euphoria, and to do it against one of our big rivals made it all the sweeter.
|L-R: Graham, Tomomi and Ben celebrate after FC Tokyo
won the 2009 J.League Nabisco Cup
As good as 2009 was, 2010 was three times worse (or maybe four). Its still gutting to think about it now, but to wrap it up in a few words: We were absolutely sh#te and got relegated. Thats right, League Cup winners and fifth in the league, to 16th and relegated in just one year. Simply stunning, and my anger and rage and frustration took quite a while to die down, but writing about it helped, and I started On the Gas as a kind of therapy!
So last Saturday, we were back at Aji Sta for the first game of the new (J2) season. It turned out to be a 1-0 win, far from convincing but hopefully the first of many as we look to bounce straight back up to J1. It was a long way from Sexy Football, but I'm glad I spotted that poster way back when, and I consider myself lucky to follow FC Tokyo.

Video taken facing North from Nuevo Progresso Mexico
As the camera casually scans across the intersection that is immediately before the international bridge that crosses the Rio Grande River into the USA, note several things:
Two sandbagged and camo netted guard posts complete with assault rifle armed soldiers that stay out of sight when they periodicly rotate in and out of the posts.
The camo painted armored car that is parked in the pursue or block position in the intersection, constantly manned by rotating three man crew.
The white pickup on the far side of the intersection that has been stopped and is being searched by a Mexican Army team, even though it has already cleared the port of entry by two other Mexican Law Enforcement Agencys. A couple of things come to mind about observing this operation.
a. The Mexican Army is actively taking the war on drugs to the cartel in this area of the border.
b. The Mexican Army is striving to hurt the cartel any way it can. Because the incoming searches into Mexico are not looking for drugs, but cash that is returning from the USA to the Mexican drug cartel.
So, was it a scary thing, seeing such a powerful armed presence in the streets of Nuevo Progresso ? No, not at all. In fact it was quite the opposite, a quietly reassuing thing to know that some of our neighbors to the South will assume great personal risk, to simply do what is right.
It appeared that a Mexican Army Captian was in charge there at our last visit and he seemed to be insuring that the soldiers exibited the utmost in courtesy and professionalism. Thanks to the Mexican Army for doing the right thing in difficult times.

Some days are just dull. Barbara left early this morning for a meeting of the Carolina Trainers' Forum and I had to sit home all day by myself. Boooooring. Now it is important for her to meet with other dog trainers and discuss training issues but why does it have to take so long? People have to talk about everything in such long and boring detail. If dogs were in charge of that meeting it would be a lot shorter for sure. Our communication is so clear. If I want you to play, I bow. If I am not sure about you I turn my head away. If I you do something I don't like I air snap. Very simple and direct.
Since I had to stay home Barbara left me with all sorts of toys filled with goodies. I am very good at getting the treats out. I also spent time ripping apart some of my stuffed toys. I made a New Year's resolution to destroy more toys and realized that I haven't been keeping it up as well as I should. Fortunately I only rip up toys and never shoes.

CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2015–2016 1st Ext.
|Assembly Bill
|No. 23
|Introduced by Assembly Members Eduardo Garcia, Burke, and Chiu
(Principal coauthor: Assembly Member Alejo)
(Coauthors: Assembly Members Bloom, Cristina Garcia, Gatto, Roger Hernández, McCarty, Nazarian, Rendon, Santiago, and Ting)
September 04, 2015
An act to add Section 14528.2 to the Government Code, and to amend Section 2381 of the Streets and Highways Code, relating to transportation.
AB 23, as introduced, Eduardo Garcia. Transportation.
(1) Existing law requires the Department of Transportation to prepare a State Highway Operation and Protection Program every other year for the expenditure of transportation capital improvement funds for projects that are necessary to preserve and protect the state highway system, excluding projects that add new traffic lanes. Existing law provides for the programming of transportation capital improvement funds for other objectives through the State Transportation Improvement Program administered by the California Transportation Commission, which includes projects recommended by regional transportation planning agencies through adoption of a regional transportation improvement program and projects recommended by the department through adoption of an interregional transportation improvement program, as specified.
This bill, by January 1, 2017, would require the California Transportation Commission to establish a process whereby the department and local agencies receiving funding for highway capital improvements from the State Highway Operation and Protection Program or the State Transportation Improvement Program prioritize projects that provide meaningful benefits to the mobility and safety needs of disadvantaged community residents, as specified.
(2) Existing law creates the Active Transportation Program in the Department of Transportation for the purpose of encouraging increased use of active modes of transportation, such as biking and walking, with specified available funds to be awarded to eligible projects by the California Transportation Commission and regional transportation agencies, as specified.
This bill would specifically require $125,000,000 to be appropriated annually from the State Highway Account to the Active Transportation Program, with these additional funds to be used for network grants that prioritize projects in underserved areas, as specified.

Bill Text
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1.Section 14528.2 is added to the Government Code, to read:
14528.2.(a) On or before January 1, 2017, the commission shall establish a process whereby the department and local agencies receiving funding for highway capital improvements from the State Highway Operation and Protection Program or the State Transportation Improvement Program prioritize projects that provide meaningful benefits to the mobility and safety needs of disadvantaged community residents as identified by the community through strong public participation. In that regard, the commission shall do all of the following:
(1) Establish a funding floor where no less than 35 percent of rehabilitation and reconstruction projects are located in urban and rural disadvantaged communities and provide meaningful benefits to community residents in those disadvantaged communities.
(2) Include robust public stakeholder engagement on the development of guidelines relating to prioritization of projects in disadvantaged communities.
(3) Prioritize projects that recruit, hire, and train low-income, formerly incarcerated, or disconnected youth and adults and other individuals with barriers to employment pursuant to Section 14005 of the Unemployment Insurance Code, including projects that utilize community workforce agreements, project labor agreements with targeted hire commitments, and partnerships with community-based workforce training entities preparing low-income youth and adults for employment.
(b) Each project applicant shall provide a description of how a proposed project located in a disadvantaged community provides meaningful benefits to the community. The location of a project in a disadvantaged community by itself does not mean that the project provides meaningful benefits to that community in the absence of a well-grounded description. In order for a benefit to be meaningful, it shall be direct and assured.
(c) As used in this section, "disadvantaged community" means a community with any of the following characteristics:
(1) An area with median household income less than 80 percent of the statewide median household income based on the most current census tract-level data from the American Community Survey.
(2) An area identified as among the most disadvantaged 25 percent of areas in the state according to the California Environmental Protection Agency, based on the latest version of the California Communities Environmental Health Screening Tool (CalEnviroScreen) scores.
(3) An area where at least 75 percent of public school students are eligible to receive free or reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch Program. To the extent the characteristics of this paragraph are used to determine that an area is disadvantaged, the applicants shall either demonstrate how the proposed project benefits those public school students in the project area or, if the proposed project does not provide meaningful benefits to those public school students, demonstrate how the characteristics are applicable in determining that the larger community is disadvantaged.
SEC. 2.Section 2381 of the Streets and Highways Code is amended to read:
2381.(a) The Active Transportation Program shall be funded by state and federal funds from appropriations in the annual Budget Act. Funds for the program shall be appropriated to the department, for allocation by the commission. The amount to be appropriated each year shall include 100 percent of the federal Transportation Alternative Program funds, except for any federal Recreational Trails Program funds appropriated to the Department of Parks and Recreation; twenty-one million dollars ($21,000,000) of federal Highway Safety Improvement funds or other federal funds; and one hundred twenty-five million dollars ($125,000,000) of State Highway Account funds. Future funding may be augmented if state or federal funds increase, or if other funding sources are identified. Funds appropriated for the Active Transportation Program shall be distributed as follows:
(1) Forty percent to metropolitan planning organizations in urban areas with populations greater than 200,000, in proportion to their relative share of population. Funds allocated under this paragraph shall be obligated for eligible projects selected through a competitive process by the metropolitan planning organizations in consultation with the department and the commission and in accordance with guidelines established pursuant to this chapter.
(2) Ten percent to small urban and rural regions with populations of 200,000 or less, with projects competitively awarded by the commission to projects in those regions.
(3) Fifty percent to projects competitively awarded by the commission on a statewide basis.
(b) For the purpose of paragraph (1) of subdivision (a), the following shall apply in the region served by the multicounty designated transportation planning agency described in Section 130004 of the Public Utilities Code:
(1) The multicounty designated transportation planning agency shall consult with the county transportation commissions created pursuant to Sections 130050, 130050.1, and 132800 of the Public Utilities Code, the commission, and the department in the development of competitive selection criteria to be adopted by the multicounty designated transportation planning agency, which should include consideration of geographic equity, consistent with program objectives.
(2) The multicounty designated transportation planning agency shall place priority on projects that are consistent with plans adopted by local and regional governments within the county where the project is located.
(3) The multicounty designated transportation planning agency shall obtain concurrence from the county transportation commissions, adopt the projects selected in a comprehensive program of projects, and make funds available to selected project recipients.
(c) For each two-year program of projects, network grants shall be awarded to eligible applicants from the one hundred twenty-five million dollars ($125,000,000) appropriated annually to the program from the State Highway Account. Network grants shall be in an amount of between twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000) and fifty million dollars ($50,000,000), and shall be awarded consistent with the percentage allocation requirements in paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of subdivision (a). Network grants shall be available to applicants that prioritize projects in underserved areas that lack pedestrian or bicycle facilities, or both, that address the least-safe intersections and corridors identified through community input or within the local master plans for pedestrian or bicycle facilities, trails, or safe routes to school, and that advance the interests of metropolitan planning organizations to achieve greenhouse gas reduction goals in sustainable communities strategies in regional transportation plans adopted pursuant to Section 65080 of the Government Code. A minimum of one-third of funding available for network grants shall be used for safe routes to school projects and, of that amount, a minimum of 10 percent and a maximum of 30 percent shall be used to fund noninfrastructure programs that support education, community engagement, evaluation, and traffic enforcement. The commission shall amend the guidelines adopted pursuant to Section 2382 in the manner specified in Section 2383 consistent with the requirements of this subdivision.
(d) The Legislature finds and declares that the program described in this chapter constitutes a highway purpose under Article XIX of the California Constitution and justifies the expenditure of highway funds therefor, and all expenditures of Article XIX funds under this program shall be consistent with Article XIX.

Later on Christmas Day
After a yummy breakfast of breakfast burritos, we stayed in our pj's all day and played with our new toys.
Ryan's mini lite brite from Aunt Gus:
A marble maze set from Nanny & Gramps:
A new toy for the cats:
Bop-It (dad got the high score):
And later that evening, we finally put together our gingerbread house. It was more difficult and far more messy than anticipated, but we were quite satisfied with the end product:

Everybody's changin' and I don't feel the same.

I remember well having similar feelings after High School. Friends of many years were all leaving and going in different directions. Some knew exactly what they wanted to do with their lives. I didn't. The carefully laid out and structured pathway of schooling and Church youth activities had seemingly come to an abrupt and emotional end with graduation. It seemed like I had arrived at the end of the well marked path which emptied into an expansive field where everyone was going off in different directions. Some friends were going off to school in far away places. Others were leaving on missions. Some couldn't wait to leave home and what they perceived as old fashioned Utah behind and explore their new found freedom. The somewhat stable world I had known seemed to be in upheaval. The U.S was recovering from the Vietnam War. The President of the United States was forced to resign. Kidnap victim Patty Hearst was robing banks in California. Not unlike the present day, those were times of change.

We rounded the corners of the green and pink mats to match the rounded corners of the sticker. The little flowers had a white pearl but we removed them and added black pieces to coordinate with the flower on the sticker. I really like all of the cards we made but this is absolutely my favorite.
So what do you think of the cards? The Penny Black stickers are all so pretty but we found ways to make the stickers even more beautiful!
It's sure been HOT here but nothing compared to the western states. So glad that I can keep busy making cards and playing with the new items I purchased and not have to be outside. Hope you have a great weekend!

Chicago Bulls: 5 Biggest Concerns Heading into Next SeasonJuly 7, 2011
Chicago Bulls: 5 Biggest Concerns Heading into Next Season
The best record in the NBA regular season and a berth in the Eastern Conference finals made a successful 2010-2011 season for the Chicago Bulls.
Most teams would be thrilled to make it that far and experience that kind of success, but not the Bulls.
The players know of the rich tradition and success that their club had in the 90's. They want that type of legacy, too.
Heading into the 2011-2012 season (if we actually have one), here are 5 concerns for the Bulls and their fans.
1. Find a Shooting Guard
Everyone knows Chicago needs an upgrade at shooting guard. This is nothing new.
Current players Keith Bogans, Ronnie Brewer, and Kyle Korver are all great backups, but none of them will take Chicago to the next level.
The first thing Chicago needs to worry about is finding a suitable running mate for Derrick Rose. Someone who could ease Rose's scoring load and stay healthy during the playoffs, while not costing them too much.
There are a ton of options for them as they try to find the perfect addition to the team who doesn't put them in a financial bind.
2. Manage Your Finances
Chicago just picked up the option on Taj Gibson's contract, which means he'll be in Chicago for at least two more years.
Now they need to focus on making sure they can keep Derrick Rose for the long-haul. Rose, along with Omer Asik and Keith Bogans, are all in the final year of their contracts.
I don't see Rose abandoning ship and ditching Chicago for greener pastures, but with all the uncertainty surround the new CBA, fans will continue to worry until he signs his new contract.
As stated earlier, Chicago will look to add a few nice pieces around their four premier starters while staying in good shape fiscally.
3. Finding out the Truth About Boozer
Carlos Boozer was a bit of an enigma last season. One day he was hurt, the next he wasn't. One day he played like an all-star, the next he completely disappeared.
With a full season and a healthy training camp under his belt, Carlos Boozer should show improvement in his second year as a Bull.
While I think it is too soon to be shopping him, many fans already want him gone (see these reader comments). His play before the all-star break could dictate whether or not a trade involving Boozer would materialize.
4. Is Jimmy Butler a Better Fit Than James Johnson?
When James Johnson was sent to Toronto at the trade deadline last season, no one really seemed too concerned.
The Bulls acquired Johnson with a mid-first round pick, but he failed to impress since being drafted in 2009.
Johnson was a beloved teammate and put in considerable work last off-season to lose weight and increase his quickness and athleticism.
The Bulls drafted Jimmy Butler with the 30th overall pick last month in the draft. While the move made sense for Chicago (they needed a backup for Luol Deng), it left many fans wondering why they simply didn't hold on to James Johnson.
5. Could They Really Land Dwight Howard?
It remains unclear just how available Dwight Howard is at the moment. Otis Smith and the Orlando Magic will do just about anything to keep him in town, but their current financial situation is quite a mess.
If Orlando feels like they won't be able to retain their franchise center, they will most likely elect to sell him to the highest bidder.
Many Chicago fans think the Bulls could put together an intriguing offer for Howard. Carlos Boozer, Taj Gibson, Joakim Noah and just about every other current Chicago Bull who doesn't have the last name Rose would be discussed if Howard really becomes available.
The willingness of Chicago's front office to take on the contract of Gilbert Arenas could be key in landing Howard.

|Tigers start in small enclosures to slowly get used to having more space. Some have never been in a cage larger than 5x5 feet. They eventually end up in groups in open grassed areas with BIG toys to
The Wild Animal Sanctuary is one of the oldest and largest of its kind in the United States. Its primary concern is taking in wild animals that have been saved from illegal captivity and trade. Many of the animals have been rescued from people keeping them as pets or from being bred at "fur farms." I like this particular sanctuary because it really seems to have the care of the animals as its primary focus. It doesn't really cater to tourists or visitors, in that, the only way to see the animals is from an elevated walkway, which goes over some of the enclosures and gives you views into the HUGE environments.
The elevated walkway is low impact on the animals and does not get very close to most of them, which is unfortunate if you want to get an intimate view of a lion. The lions, however, are living as naturally as they can, with little human interaction. The sanctuary does not give behind the scene tours to get closer to the animals, which are common for other similar organizations.
|The beginning of the walkway does get close to the leopards, but not this close.
I had painted some pendants of big cats prior to visiting the sanctuary, but now I'm giving part of the purchase price to this local non profit. It is really great to have something like this in my area. I'm also going to look into volunteering for them.

The scene was set for the making of a great game in Dayton, Ohio as the Alabama Crimson Tide travelled to play the Dayton Flyers on a Tuesday afternoon game which was televised nationally on ESPN as part of the College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon. Students skipped class, and the rest of the 12,000+ crowd took off work to watch what some thought would be a great game. There was only one thing missing…. The game never materialized. For the first 10 minutes of the first half, it was back and forth. The score was tied at 18 with 9:28 left in the half and then Dayton used a 22 to 6 run to close out the half that was led by redshirt freshman Steve McElvene, junior Scoochie Smith, and redshirt junior Charles Cooke.
The Flyers never looked back as they cruised to an 80 to 48 victory. This was all done without Kendall Pollard for most of the game. He picked up his second foul with 16 minutes left in the first half. He sat for the rest of the half and when he came back in the second, he seemed to force a lot of shots and you could tell he was definitely in a rut because he sat for most of the first half. Towards the end of the game, the Red Scare (Dayton student section) was chanting "stick to football." Dayton was a 10 point favorite coming in and I honestly thought that that was a little high. The Flyers definitely proved me wrong on that one!
Alabama really struggled to do anything right. They shot 17-57 (29.8%) from the field, 5-20 (25%) from the 3 and an abysmal 9-17 (52.9%) from the free throw line. Alabama's largest lead was 2 just a minute and 20 seconds into the first half (2-0). Alabama would take the lead with 10 minutes left in the first half (18-16) but would never hold it again. The Crimson Tide had 34 rebounds but only dished out 8 assists on 17 made shots. Bama turned the ball over 20 times, had 3 blocks and 7 steals. Riley Norris led Alabama with 9 points on 3 of 6 shooting in 23 minutes. He was the only bright spot that Alabama had in the game.
The Flyers shot 28-60 (46.7%) from the field, 9-21 (42.9%) from three and 15-21(71.4%) from the line. Dayton had a pretty good advantage on points in the paint (32-16). The Flyers seemed to be very dominant from start to finish. They managed to collect 47 rebounds. They assisted on only 14 of 28 made shots and struggled with turnovers once again as they committed 18. They swatted 6 shots and had 11 steals. The Flyers were led by redshirt junior Charles Cooke who managed 21 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 steal in a team high 29 minutes. Scoochie Smith turned in a solid game with 15 points, 3 assists, and 4 steals in 28 minutes. Big Steve McElvene played very well. He turned in his first collegiate double double with 13 points and 11 rebounds. He also blocked a couple shots. Darrell Davis scored in double digits for the second straight game as he had 10 points in 22 minutes.
The Crimson Tide will head back home to Tuscaloosa to play Louisiana Lafayette Friday night at 8PM.
The Flyers will put their 24 game home winning streak on the line as they stay at home and play William & Mary (who just beat NC State on the road last week by 17) on Saturday afternoon at 2PM.
Go Flyers!

Gyu-dong : Japan style beef meal
Beef tartare : steak (= meat from a cow) cut into very small pieces and eaten without being cooked
Sso maek : a cocktail that is used instead of whiskey
Rice wine : Steamed glutinous rice, rice, barley, wheat and Mixed the yeast and water and fermented.
Croquette : It is small amounts of mashed potato or meat rolled in breadcrumbs and fried
Our presentation is about good restaurants near Inha-university.
There are many restaurants near Inha-university but we will introduce some famous restaurants
I will introduce the restaurant called San jjomae. This place is a restaurant which sells Japanese ramen.
Ramen soup is made from the pork and chicken, really delicious and Prices are cheaper than average, around 6000 won.
Besides ramen, Here it is possible to enjoy a variety of menus such as Gyudong and croquettes.
Finally, if you eat a jumbo ramen within 20 minutes, to the events that you can use the San jjomae in Free one year. [1]
If you want to try to challenge your spirit and stomach, I would recommend the event.
I'll introduce to you to AMIGO pizza shop
First, the location of this restaurant is going up from the pharmacy intersection and go to the left
Menu of pizza is Gorgonzola, margherita, diavola etc, pizza not seen in the general pizza shop
I recommendation Gorgonzola, Gorgonzola has a lot of cheese, so the taste is very nice and sweet and not only pizza but also Chicken, various snacks and world beer are sold
So if you want to go different bars, want to eat Different pizza and if you find Date worthy restaurants with girl friend or boyfriend, I recommendation AMIGO and There is a special menu of Amigo drinks called Towers of sso maek. [2]
Price is cheap and atmosphere is good so if you are tired of obvious bar, I recommendation AMIGO
I'll introduce to you about "육앤샤" that I think one of the good restaurants at Inha University.
Once "육앤샤" has typically Shabu-Shabu and Beef Tartare, etc. In addition, there are a variety of foods with beef ingredients.
Basic Beef Shabu-Shabu is 4900 won and much more quantity Shabu Shabu price is 6500 won. The price is affordable.
Plus, beef and vegetables, noodles and rice cakes are also able to be added to what you want to eat even more so within 3000 won.
Also there is a rice wine and liquor. Thus Shabu Shabu and Beef Tartare are mainly when i going to "육앤샤". Then I ordered some rum. It seems appropriate.
Not only the beef quality is good but also boss service is good. The Beef Tartare is 15,000 won. If there is not enough from eating Shabu-Shabu broth refills are also available. [3]
Put the rice in the remaining broth after eating and boil down the broth. Then it becomes porridge which tastes good.
And the interior is nice, and you feel a little Japanese atmosphere with Polaroid photos and Notes are stuck on the wall.
Therefore because these points, Not have to be a student at Inha University, I recommend the good restaurant enough to eat go to Inha back gate.
I research about my favorite restaurant that I ate near inha university. This restaurant's name is BIN's house. It sells some pastas and steaks.
It is located opposite side of Inha back gate. Especially all main menu items are 5,000won. And all side menu items are 3,000won. [4]
Before we eat main menu, al the time they serve soup. I ate some menu of this restaurant, but my favorite menu is cheese Italy hambak steak.
It is cost 5,000won. When I poke this steak, cheese in steak is coming out, so I might eat them separately.
It is not enough to make men feel full, but it is enough to make women feel full.
I have been first time when older grade treated me.
But I don't feel full so I ordered additional side menu.

I went to my second college basketball game today, my second University of Vermont game with our nephew starting, my second game at Quinnipiac University. UVM Catamounts won handily 94 - 70.
Quinnipiac's TD Bank Sports Center is very nice--modern with many amenities, and welcoming. It was also accessible--about a 50 minute ride with easy directions. It was a nice Saturday afternoon.

We're definitely on the countdown toward Christmas now, this year seems to be just flying by. Only 11 more days & Lily turns 6 and boy is she excited! There's only 6 more weeks of school for 2007 as well, so hard to believe she won't be a little kindy kid anymore, she'll be moving up into Year 1 in 2008. It's been the most amazing year so far with lots of fun & celebrations still to come.
I'm so proud of Lily, she received another merit award from school at assembly today bringing her total to 7 for the year so far plus the extra special "Aussie of the Month" award she received in May. It's been a remarkable year for her & we really couldn't have asked of more from her & it's so special to have her be not only commended for her efforts & achievements but also be very highly spoken of & thought of within the school community.
Pity about the latest interest rate hike today though, that'll just make finances a lot tighter for many people just like ourselves I suspect. Frustrates me that we work so damn hard at doing the right things & you just can't seem to get ahead on one income with kids.

The Tokyo Stock Exchange signed a deal Wednesday to cooperate with

World stock exchange operators are increasingly linking arms to facilitate easier cross-border trading, while boosting their own competitiveness.
Under the accord signed Wednesday, the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Asia's largest bourse, will share information with the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange and consider offering technical assistance, a TSE statement said.
The two bourses will also start discussion on listing of the two countries' stocks on each other's bourses, it said.
"This is an official and long-term commitment for further cooperation between the two exchanges," Tran Dac Sinh, president of the Vietnamese bourse, said in the statement.
TSE president Atushi Saito said: "By continuing to enhance cooperation with Asian exchanges in the future, we will keep striving to improve convenience for market participants."
Vietnam's main stock exchange was opened only in 2000 and has quickly shot up, with the benchmark index rising 145 percent last year, despite warnings by some market watchers that the market risks overheating.

That's so exciting! I live about an hour outside of SF and still have never seen the Full House house. I'm thinking I should change that.
And Mondays are my "me" days. Who am I kidding? Everyday is a "me" day. :)
Glad you're loving the bay!

I usually spend Mondays in my boring cubicle and then go home and watch the Golden Girls marathon on WE Tv.
However, yesterday I got a holiday off from work so I spent the day sleeping in, running a few errands, sneaking into my best friend's house (with her mom's permission) and setting up her last birthday surprise in her room before having dinner with them.
To copy you, Monday sort of rocked. :)

Because I have eerily weird recall, I can say with some confidence that I think I introduced you to Tennis! I had just discovered them, and one day on twitter you were asking for new music recs. I, being a new, enthusiastic fan, immediately tweeted you about Tennis and you said something along the lines of "wow! I love them!"
I told you... eerily weird recall.

Ahoy hoy fellow gamers, zombie obliterators, and gaffa tape enthusiasts. It's not often I pop in a written review on B3, mostly because I am too busying playing, or filming. But, I feel that this update to the franchise could do with a proper explanation and a bit of an overall check-out.
During the month of Christmas, a sequel to the Dead Rising franchise hit the shelves, Dead Rising 4. I decided to look it up and see what new areas have been added. It's been over a decade since the original Dead Rising launched on Xbox 360, it's kind of amazing that the series' singular concept – killing hundreds of zombies with bizarre and ridiculous weapons – has kept up enough popularity to warrant a fourth near-identical sequel. Thank god it has.
It is ten years since the first Dead Rising was released – and appropriately enough in the current climate of wistful nostalgia that has spawned both destructive political movements, and lazy Hollywood reboots alike – the game's third sequel sees the return of both original protagonist Frank West as well as the town of Willamette, its population once more unfortunately mostly finding themselves zombified.
If you are looking for a game with subtlety, then Dead Rising 4 is probably not for you. If you are looking for a game where you can shoot exploding garden gnomes or create and ride around in a cannon-firing wheelchair in order to butcher as many onrushing zombies as possible, then you are in the right place.
The zombie outbreak begins after the new Willamette Mall's Black Friday sales -and the Christmas setting of the game, timed perfectly for its release- lend it an amusingly topical note. Built on with the cheesy music piped in through disembodied speakers whenever the game is paused; the ability as well to take a selfie with Frank's camera at any point in the game, complete with amusing controllable facial expressions, and -somehow- more crazy combination weapons than the previous titles. It all just kinda works – even if the game was generally treated with cynicism from announce to launch. The selfies, for one, hat rarely gets tiring, particularly given the wealth of potentially horrific backgrounds for photos.
Frank will make funny comments and spout references to pop culture, singing occasionally as he slays, and always prepping the next wisecrack for unsuspecting survivors across the town. Mucking around with the game's countless outfits and hats makes for some absurd cut scene appearances, too – Frank in a fireman's outfit with a big Roman helmet and comedy beard, for example – but it works in making Dead Rising 4 a silly bundle of stupidity. And, to be fair, who doesn't like a game where you can be stupid?
While unpopular with some fans of the franchise, the removal of the time-limit from previous Dead Rising incarnations allows for more exploration of the open-world and the discovery of all manner of weapons as well as the blueprints needed to create the variety of eccentric and, largely extremely bloodthirsty, combo weapons that are a key part of what makes the series popular. Taht said, regardless of how you tool up, the majority of your time is spent button-mashing in the game's repetitive combat. The game really needed some better finishers to be unlocked – this is a series that has thrived on variety, and so the lack of it here really felt like a major weakness. You'll watch the same kill animations again and again, as the slow-mo finishers rarely change between the various different weapons you'll find scattered across the world. Despite this, I found myself getting sidetracked annihilating zombies more often — just sort of spacing out behind the wheel of a pickup truck and seeing how high I could rack up the combo meter in the game. It was … strangely, relaxing.
When you're not smashing up soldiers or slicing the undead, you'll be investigating suspicious scenes for clues, and snapping the evidence with Frank's new camera modes. You'll have to use the camera's three different modes to scour trickier places – there's a normal lens, a night vision to investigate darkened rooms and warehouses, and a Spectrum Analyzer to hack doors, laptops and reveal -otherwise hidden- clues. This is a pain when you enter a dark room full of zombies as when you enter night vision, you put away your weapon. Hence a quick flick back and forth is needed to 1) see where you are going and 2) kill the enemies.
Compared to previous Dead Rising games, the Maniacs -themed boss characters who were previously referred to as Psychopaths, rebranded in what appears to be a not entirely successful attempt to make them less offensive with a new name- have been considerably de-emphasized. There are still boss battles, but they're generally against much more pedestrian enemies, like soldiers in power armor or particularly strong zombies.
Meanwhile, Maniacs are side quests, easily skippable if you'd rather not get involved, with little of the drama or presentation seen in previous games. For example, you can still save non-infected humans from zombies for a small reward. Before, you had to babysit many survivors on their way back to a safe house, or give them weapons and hope for the best, but here, once they're saved, they're good. They go right back on their way. It's one less point of failure for the player, and Dead Rising 4 has fewer of them than any game in the series, which for me they should have kept in.
Inventory space used to be at a premium, with limited room for food and weapons. But now Frank has separate collections of slots for grenades, melee weapons, ranged weapons and healing items, each of which can be upgraded. By the end of Dead Rising 4, I had about eight slots for weapons and four for healing items, meaning I was carrying around a sleigh's worth of murder toys at any given moment.
Another game changer is the save system, the older, clunkier systems have been replaced by a generous checkpoint-and-auto save system here, but that didn't really matter to me, because I never died in my 20-hour playthrough of the game. With labotomised, avoidable maniacs, vastly more powerful weapons freely available, and no timer rushing me along, the game was never hard like the previous titles. I should add, however, that since launch Capcom have now added a harder mode and time limit which should rectify this.
For players who are more invested in Dead Rising's survival roots, there is one potential lifeline in Dead Rising 4's multiplayer component. While cooperative play is bizarrely omitted from the main game — despite some vehicles seeming specifically designed for it — the separate online mode places up to four players in a series of escalating scenarios with a more traditional inventory system and much less resilient characters. Survival there is far less assured, and you can run it alone, if you want to.
Overall, I found myself warming to this game more than the others in the series. I do miss some of the items the previous ones had, but overall it is an enjoyable little Sunday romp. Dead Rising isn't going to win any horror awards, but you can't say it's boring.

Halloween was an interesting holiday to spend in Tajikistan, because not everyone knows about it. So a Tajik Sportsman and Superhero walking down the street isn't easily explainable. Similar to our day with Baby Harbooza, we made a lot of people smile and laugh. In the back of a Marshuka (Mini bus) I announced in English as we were getting out, after receiving a lot of weird looks, "Happy Halloween"! Much to my surprise a man in the front seat responded, "Is Halloween today?... I understand." This made me feel better knowing that this man knew what Halloween was and might explain to everyone else in the bus why we were dressed up.
The highlight of Halloween was attending a University of Central Asia Halloween Dance Party. Let me tell you, Tajik people can dance exceptionally well. I cannot say the same for Mikey and I. Many of the students were very excited that we were in costume attending their party and frequently made us the center of their dance circles. In our not so rhythmic way we danced our hearts out.
From this party we migrated to another Halloween party hosted by the US Marine Corp. At this location we continued to dance and be merry. The international community went all out in being inventive with their costume creations, it was a lot of fun.
The US Marines who are stationed at the US Embassy in Dushanbe are a lot of fun. They host basketball games on Saturdays, volleyball games on Wednesdays, and are among the boisterous members of the Dushanbe Hash House Harriers. Mikey and I have been committed attendants every Saturday afternoon to the local Hash. This week Mikey won the "Hash Shit." This is an award that is won by being the Hash member who does the stupidest thing during the week. I nominated Mikey, and he won, for packing a glass bottle of BBQ sauce in one of our boxes to be sent to Dushanbe. When the box arrived all the contents smelled delicious, as they were marinated in BBQ sauce, as the glass bottle had smashed. Included in the marinated contents were: a years worth of feminine products, batteries, stationary, gifts to be given during our year abroad.
We hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween!!! We would love to hear about your costumes and celebrations :)

*Disclaimer- there comes a section of this post where I may seem to be mocking Megan. Worry not, she is completely aware of her actions that night and knows this is coming*
About Us
- Amanda + Megan
- Our names are Amanda & Megan. If you're reading this right now we can only assume that you are a fan of Straight No Chaser! We have had so many adventures in our journeys to see them that we needed a place to write them all down. Cue blog! We can only imagine the adventures will continue and we can't wait to see where they lead us.
The Night We've All Been Waiting For!
Sorry to keep you in suspense like that…. exhaustion and the real world got in the way. Where did I leave off? Oh right, Jersey Shore. We told ourselves we were going to start getting ready at 3:30 for the big event. At this point though we had watched 3 hours of Jersey Shore and I just couldn't take it anymore. I caved in and started getting ready at about 3:00. It was a pretty quick process for both of us since we had showered at like 9:00 that morning before we got our nails done. This meant we were both ready to go at approximately 3:45. Dinner didn't start until 5:30 and we only had about a 15-minute drive to the Sovereign Center. We ended up leaving at about 4:15 and got to the center at 4:30. As everyone knows just because my GPS tells me I have arrived at my destination doesn't mean I have actually arrived. I had to find a place to park. I drove by a perfectly good parking lot not once but TWICE, why you ask? Because there was a sign that said 3 hour maximum, with another sign hidden in the distance that said if you paid a little more you could park there all night. Luckily we found that sign after wasting just a little bit of gas. Just to be sure I asked the parking attendant if I could park there for the dinner and concert. He said yes, if I gave him $10. I then confessed my love to him because frankly I was sick of driving up and down the street and not finding anywhere to park, so this parking lot across the street from the center was PERFECT! Time check at this point: 5:00ish, but there were already other chasers standing outside the center, so we didn't feel so out of place. As we were getting out of the car, we noticed a group of folks getting out of their car as well. We immediately noticed that the man getting out of the car, looking dashing in his tux, was Ryan's dad. I was so excited and instantly decided I HAD to tweet Ryan about it. He always says that he likes our tweets. It was so cold out that a nice gentleman who worked at the center told us we could wait at the bottom of the stairs in the lobby until it was time to go in (he also made sure to tell us to cover our ears since the guys were in the process of a sound check and we weren't supposed to be hearing it! Woops!)
events leading up to the most chasery night of the year.
As Charlie would say, let me set a scene for you…. You're 23, and it's 6:00 am. Your eyes don't pop open, but they get there eventually. You finally find the motivation to get out of bed and put something decent looking on, maybe take a brush to your hair and brush your teeth. You stop at Dunky's for a coffee and probably an under cooked muffin because they use just a light bulb as well. Then you come home and wait patiently for your mom to drive you to the Amtrak station (when she's done freaking out of course.) This was the scene early Thursday morning for Megan and I, and yes my mom was freaking out because she had to drive us and she didn't know how to get there or home. And no, neither of us got a muffin at Dunky's. We got to the train station perfectly fine. I gave my mom STRICT instructions on how to get back home. They were as follows: drive straight until you hit Route 1, turn right. That's it. She didn't listen and got hopelessly lost. That's what she gets for not staying straight (no chaser).

so last Sunday I went to prison...
October was clear but then the visit was cancelled.
Before Christmas worked but then there was a conflict.
So we found ourselves there, on the sabbath between Christmas and New Years, sitting in plastic chairs and eating vending machine food and taking it all in.
It's kind of a process, the whole "visit someone in the state penitentiary" thing.
First you fill out paperwork and mail it in.
Months later they tell you that you're cleared to visit.
Then you find the visiting times, come early to check in, provide ID, stash belongings in a locker. And then you wait.
At some point they start to call names and you go through security, similar to an airport except that everyone is patted down.
There's all kinds of people who are going in with you- people your age that have small kids in tow, people older who you think might be visiting their own grown children. You wonder for a minute what it would be like for your kids to be here- your kids who you dropped off at grandma's this morning and who hold your sunshine in their smiles and who you have such big dreams for- what would it be like to visit them here? You wonder if the woman across from you, a woman with well trimmed salt and pepper hair and a lovely blue cardigan, you wonder if she's remembering things like that while she waits. The thought makes it hard to swallow for a minute.
You follow a series of doors, doors that lock behind you before the next one opens before you, and eventually you're in a large room that has rows of chairs set in clusters. You sit down and wait.
What happens next, the hours that follow, are so beautiful and hard and difficult to describe. One by one, inmates wander in, wearing dark jeans and various colored shirts. Their faces soften as small kids run to them. Their tattooed arms wrap around their loved ones and hardened faces break into smiles.
And we sat with our friend, a guy in his twenties that I first met as a cocky but charming seventeen-year old. In some ways he hasn't changed much. He's always had a way of telling stories that made people believe him, want the best for him. In the years with us he graduated high school and knew our kids as babies and got into his fair share of trouble- though that's not what I remember.
I remember sitting in the kitchen, reading Dracula for senior English, taking turns reading chapters aloud.
I remember Drew as a toddler, running out on the football field as we went to stand next to this teen during Senior Night for high school football.
I remember Christmases and birthdays and a graduation party and the way he would put his hands together in mock pleading to try to get me to make him a stack of PBJ's.
"You can make them yourself," I would say.
"I don't make them as well as you do," he would reply, all charm as usual. And then he'd stand next to me in the kitchen and watch and talk and inhale them before the knife was in the dishwasher.
I remember wanting so much from him, so much for him.
He lived with us for years, his story becoming part of our own, his pain and struggle and journey a part of our own as well. And so that afternoon last Sunday, we talked about old times and new times and doing hard time. We talked about how he got here and how to be here and the long road away from here.
"I just passed a year," he said. I felt surprised it had been that long and ashamed we had just come to see him and sad that a whole year of life seems insignificant when you're facing 14-20.
As usual, Garrett knew what to say. He asked direct questions and encouraged with the raw, loving truth and tried to bring hope without being cheesy or falsely optimistic. As usual, I just sat there, feeling.
Feeling loss for the years ahead.
Feeling hurt for the families around me, families that might do this every Sunday for years to come.
Feeling pain for the inmates here, men who may not be innocent but have been reduced to a life that is so hollow, so hopeless, so unredemptive in the way it is played out.
Feeling heavy for the others that I recognized, two other grown men who we knew from our time of working with teens at the local detention center.
It's their choices that got them there, you might think, and you are probably right. But it wasn't that little girl's choice, the little girl in the grey boots and the long braid piled on her sweet head, it wasn't her choice to know her dad this way.
You do the crime, you do the time, you might say, and I get that, too. I don't begrudge the time served or the justice that is (hopefully) done, but I do mourn for the life in there, a life that makes joining a gang practically essential, a life that requires you to harden up even more in order to survive.
I think of them, those prisoners doing time, and I think of the Kingdom, and I wonder where they meet. I think of Jesus spending time with the least of these. I think of the Old Testament prophecy of Christ coming to declare freedom for the captives, sight for the blind. I think of my own kids and their journey ahead and the things that I want so desperately for them to avoid.
But mostly I think of him, my friend in his dark jeans and starched shirt, talking football and hugging his girlfriend and thanking us for coming and caring and still being here. I think of him and will myself to have enough hope for him, to keep him in mind, to live in conscious awareness and not willful denial of his everyday.
I think of him and hurt. I think of him and pray. I think of him and beg Jesus to move, to protect, to bring freedom in that prison.
I think of him and I'm thankful, for PBJ's made and Quik Trip runs and movie nights and moments that seemed small but were big in the grand scheme of things. I'm thankful we offered him grace when we could and a home to remember. I'm thankful that we can offer friendship still.
I think of him and think of Christ and think of life and it makes me ache.

Oh, Becky! Weeping as I read this and longing for Home! Parents and children--relationships with so much more that's meant to be, but so much less experienced in this dark world. Like you, I ache. Aching to be in the presence of our Father, all because His beloved Son thought of and is thinking of us; Who came to visit us in our prison and sends His Spirit to keep us company until we are finally Home.

I'm sorry to hear about about what your friend is facing right now. It is truly difficult to see your loved ones in jail whenever you visit them there. But I guess what you said was right, that it's their choices that got them there, and they have to face the consequences of it. It was really nice to know that you thought of visiting him there, Becky. :-)

My buddy's b-day. He's in denial. Yes we are all getting old. It's nothing that a couple....or more tequila shooters won't temporarily cure.
So here we are at the Gillnetter Pub. Home of the Pitt burger a 6oz charbroiled prime rib patty, topped with Cheddar,cheese & bacon, served with mayo and our special sauce.
They almost named this burger correctly...except drop the p and add sh and you've got yourself a pretty good description of the burger. Perhaps the worst burger I've had this year. I'm not even going to rate this thing. On the surface it looks ok, a standard pub burger, the patty is frozen but everything else looks good. And then you pick it up and try and eat it. The ciabatta bun was so old and so hard I couldn't even bite through the burger. This is brutal. They might just as well have used a couple of thick pieces of corrugated cardboard.
Pass me the tequila shot.

ronnie roast...
Here is a link to a Dean Martin Celebrity Roast of then Governor Ronald Reagan. It's hilarious and wonderful.
When I watch this, I lament that three things have gone from this world...
1. A good sense of humor... (in which we can laugh without being PC or destructive)
2. True entertainment stars like Dean Martin and Jack Benny...
3. And genuine communicators and leaders like Ronald Reagan.
They are all missed.
This was done in 1973, so there are a few Nixon jokes, etc. You can handle it.
Enjoy: http://www.guba.com/watch/2000936810
Hat Tip to the gang at Zoot Radio
Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

Finding a carpet cleaning company can seem like a daunting task if you have never done it before, but don't worry! This article can provide you with tips on finding the right people for the job. Read on to discover the tricks of connecting with carpet cleaning experts that can help!
When looking for a professional carpet cleaning company, always consider the cleaning process. There are different ways professionals use to clean carpets. Dry treatments, wet treatments, steam cleaning and a variety of others are available. Some require significant drying time or could require that you leave the home. Choose the one that works best for you.
Try to avoid using the cheap carpet clearners that you can buy at your local discount stores. These tend to cause more damage to your carpets, which will lead to you having to replace it sooner than you would otherwise. If you do not want to spend thousands on carpeting every few years you should definitely avoid these machines.
Using your vacuum cleaner on a regular basis is the best way to keep your carpet clean. Plan on vacuuming your home at least once a week and replace the filter of your vacuum cleaner at least once a month. If possible, invest in a quality vacuum cleaner for better results.
The carpet-cleaning company you choose should be one you are comfortable with. You should be comfortable with all the steps of the process, from the beginning to the end. A good company makes sure that you are happy the whole process through.
If you are thinking about having your carpets professionally cleaned, call around to a few different companies. Ask about any specials they are currently running such as multiple room discounts, or your first carpeted room free. Some companies will do one free room, in hopes that you will hire them for additional rooms.
Ask your carpet cleaning company how long they have been in business. This is an industry where people come and go a lot, and you do not want to hire the new guy on the block. Finding someone with years of experience can benefit you. It shows they are serious about their business and have a reputation that has allowed them to sustain.
On stains that are very hard to get rid of, use shaving cream. Find a shaving brush and put a small amount of shaving cream on this and rub on the stain. Repeat this process as it will slowly pull the stain from the carpet so that it looks new again.
When it comes to how your carpets are cleaned, companies will differ on the methods they offer. For example, some companies use a dry chemical to extract dirt from carpet fibers, allowing it to then be vacuumed up by their powerful equipment. This is best for natural carpets, like cotton.
Make sure that you choose a professional carpet cleaning company that is certified, not just an affiliate. Choosing a company just because they use a famous product does not necessarily mean that they are affiliated with it. It also doesn't mean that they are properly trained. Make sure you look at properly certified cleaning companies before hiring.
Check the Internet for coupons offered by a carpet cleaning company. Carpet cleaning can get very pricy, so you can use all of the savings you can get. Many companies offer first-time customers coupon online and sometimes, even in local newspapers. Tell the company you have a coupon before giving payments.
If you want to hire a professional carpet cleaner, do some background research on the different cleaners you are interested in. Find a cleaner who is a member of different professional organizations and contact your local business bureau to find out if any complaints have been filed against this professional.
It is important to avoid over-wetting your carpet during the cleaning process. Excessive moisture can leak down into the carpet pad. This much moisture can lead to the growth of mold and mildew and create a dangerously unhealthy situation. Your carpet should not remain moist for more than 24 hours.
Be sure to keep some stain remover on hand to tackle difficult stains; this will allow you to rest easy until a professional comes in to clean. You can apply this without rubbing, and let it sit around five minutes. For best results, use a clockwise pattern when applying the spray.
Talk with friends and family to learn of a carpet cleaning company they may have used. This is likely the best way to find a cleaning service. They will be able to tell you how happy they are with the overall service. They can also tell you if they are happy with the amount they were charged.
Look into the history of the company. Check to see the origins of the company and how long they were around for. Ask them how many employees they have and what the approximate turnaround is for their employees. This will give you a good picture of the history for a company.
When choosing between local companies, there is one very important question to ask: do they offer any sort of guarantee? If not, you should seek out a company which does. If they don't have enough faith in their own services to guarantee additional hints their work, why should you trust them at all?
If the carpet cleaning business offers a service guarantee, remember that. For instance, before you do anything else to the carpet (like an anti-static treatment), make sure you call your carpet cleaner and discuss it with them. You aren't going to want to find out the warranty is voided.
Do you have children that love to track dirt, or carpets that are easily stained? Regardless of your personal circumstances, your rugs probably could use a professional cleaning. Remember these tips so you can hire someone who will do their job well!

Spring never ceases to amaze me. Mother Earth, waking from her winter sleep seems, sometimes, to move only a little tiny bit at a time – and then all of the sudden she just explodes. Flowers bloom – starting slowly with snowdrops and crocuses then leaping into daffodils and finally into the gorgeous heady scents of hyacinths and lilacs. Grass goes from not needing to be cut at all, to needing to be cut a couple of times a week.
One thing I always appreciated, while living in
, was how quickly the process seemed to happen. It seemed that over the space of a short week or two all of spring was crammed into the world. Riding on the Go Train, I recall looking out the windows along the lake shore and seeing the trees go from the pale yellow-green fuzz that heralds the beginning, to being covered (seemingly within days) with full, lush and green leaves. Then the heat would start. Ontario
Last year I wasn't especially focused on spring. This year, with the advent of a back yard that I have worked diligently to improve with plants, arrangement and Feng Shui principles in mind, I am very focused on what has been happening.
The potted shrubs I installed in late April have burst forth with loads of new growth – pale green and sharply scented & having that very soft feel of newness to it. The flower baskets have filled out gloriously (and, I admit, I need to do some dead-heading in them) and on Monday when I returned from the cabin, I was THRILLED to see just how much the peonies have grown. They went from this:
To this:
In five short (but very sunny) days!
So the million dollar question: Are all of the changes, including all of the Feng Shui modifications, making any difference to my life yet? The answer is yes, I think so. This past week I have had two different people offer to set me up with someone they know. This is a positive step for me. I am starting to see movement in the work sector – and though nothing has happened for me just yet, I am feeling a LOT more positive about it that I have in QUITE some time.
(From the Abraham-Hicks Daily Quotes) "First there is thought, then there is thought form, and then there is matter. Matter is only thought that has been thought upon by more."
So I ask you: What will you choose to think about today?
With love across the waters,

Hello all!
Welcome to Feature Friday! Every Friday there will be a different feature and hopefully you will learn something new.
Earlier this week I received a Cath Kidston catalog and saw these in their catalog.
They are called "wellies" or Wellington boots. I wanted to know where they got their name from. Then I got an idea. I thought maybe other people are wondering like me and want to know as well. And that is how Feature Friday came about.
So, where did the name Wellington boots come from? Why do we call them Wellies? What do the original ones look like? Below is a pic of the Duke of Wellington with his boots on.
The first Duke of Wellington named Arthur Wellesly instructed his shoe maker to modify the 18th century Hessian boot after arriving back from defeating Naplolean . He found his boots to be uncomfortable and worn out. The shoe maker was instructed to make a simple modification. The original boot was made out of calfskin leather. The new boot that his shoe maker came up with was made out of rubber; hardwearing, comfy and perhaps lighter than the old Hessian boot. The boot was also treated with wax to make it waterproof. The Duke realized he had a high quality boot for his troops. Soon, these boots were widely used. They played a pivotal role in history. They worn at the Battle of Waterloo and both World Wars.
Today, fashion dictates and you can find wellies in a wonderful array of colors and patterns, but don't be fooled by the beautiful eye candy. A lot of these fashion forward wellies are made of plastic and don't stand the test of time like an original Wellington boot. If choose to buy these plastic ones you will have aching feet. When looking to purchase a Wellington boot. Look for good quality insoles and rubber heals.
Through the years the original Wellie as been updated. You can find the Wellie in fun and funky patterns and colors. Check these out. So, you don't have to sacrafice fashion to be comfy in your Wellies while you garden.
Hope you enjoyed todays Feature Friday. Sunday evening I will post about my giveaway. So check back then.
Enjoy your weekend!Pin It Now!

The Drawing I Liked
I liked how the artist of this drawing boldly shaded the edges on several objects. This made the objects stand out. The plant is emphasized, as well as the soldier, and the nail-like object on the bottom.

Durer Inspired Work
Thursday, September 3, 2015
This image consists of three shapes, a building, a human hand, and a tree. The hand seems to stand out, and the wavy background seems to "flow". With the tree, I used very compact parallel lines to shade the trunk.

Harmonious lines

I decided to take a break from the presidential campaign, and write this post about harmonious lines in nature.
Example 1: Brain coral. Commonly found on tropical reefs
Example 2: sand texture on beaches, and deserts. This is a sand dune in the Sahara

Just when you thought Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones couldn't say anything more hilarious, he holds a press conference prior to training camp opening and provides us with some glorious comments.
With the Cowboys set to begin camp on Monday after a busy offseason that saw them drastically improve their major weaknessess (offensive line, secondary), Jones appears to be pretty excited to get things under way.
Much of the talk surrounding the Cowboys in 2012 has been this idea that the window for a Super Bowl title is closing. Jones got revved up and addressed that in a very comical way.
"I want to officially close the window to closing the window. That was off-season talk. I do feel a sense or urgency, though. I've been here 23 years. I've been here when it was glory hole days and when it wasn't. I want me some glory hole!"
Depending on how your mind works, you may have immediately thought of a sexual reference (even if your mind didn't work that way, you just thought of it). Cowboys public relations director Rich Dalrymple's mind obviously went that way too, and he attempted to clear the air by saying "'Glory hole' is a commonly used expression in the oil and gas exploration business."
Nice try Rich, but the damage was done. I hope they keep sticking a microphone in Jones' face, because the oil tycoon from Arkansas never ceases to amaze me.

We are excited to share our news! The Manassas Park Community Center (MPCC) Preschool is joining NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) in celebrating the Week of the Young Child from April 24-28. We will be joining families and teachers from all over the country as we celebrate the education of our young children and early learning.
Our MPCC preschoolers will begin the week with Music Monday. Each child will learn using hands-on music activities. Studies show that introducing music to young children enhances the learning process. However, young learners do not care about studies. What they love is seeing and hearing all the wonderful sounds and music that they will make using a variety of instruments!
Tuesday, April 25 will be Tasty Tuesday. Each student will create a unique and healthy tasty treat. Each child gets such a sense of satisfaction when she feels like she did something on her own. Then, they will taste the results of their efforts!
Build Together Wednesday sets the stage for our preschoolers to use a variety of materials to build and design to their heart's content! Will they build bridges, houses, or something else?
Our preschoolers' creative juices sure will be flowing on Artsy Thursday. The kids will experiment with a variety of art using different materials such as paint, crayons, and glue. This helps our young learners develop spatial recognition, and they sure have fun while creating!
We will wrap-up the week on Friday with Family Friday. Our staff will invite our preschooler's family members to get together and just play. We encourage play throughout our days here at the MPCC preschool because structured play encourages creativity while having fun!
We are so happy to be joining families and teachers from all over the country to take part in this amazing celebration for the education of young children and early learning.
Even if your child is not in a daycare center or a preschool, you can join in the fun too. I encourage you to visit www.NAEYC.org. This site is a great resource for more information about the Week of the Young Child. In addition, you can find resources for a variety of early learning experiences for your child.
Have fun as you celebrate the Week of the Young Child from April 24-28! I know our MPCC preschoolers will!
