Th-Th-That's All Folks!
"I think a midlife crisis is anytime you're waking up in the middle of the night asking yourself, 'Is this going to be my life?'" -- my pal Matt
I got to eat lunch with my friend Matt earlier this week. Matt is a doctor in town. We went to undergrad together and were mutual friends of friends who always got along swimmingly, and he somehow found himself completing his residency in Chattanooga of all places.
Matt is a kick-ass pediatrician. If there was some kind of World Series of Pediatric Care, I'd put some money on him because he's the full package: gentle, compassionate, confident, absolutely brilliant, and passionately dedicated. He's passed up some incredible job opportunities (translation: shitloads of money) because he believes so deeply in what he's doing.
He first became a parent four years ago, and now they have two kids. Parenthood hit Matt and his wife like Mike Tyson with brass knuckles. My theory -- we haven't really talked about it THAT much, 'cuz we're, like, guys, and we prefer talking about UNC sports -- is that Matt and his wife were prepared. He's a pediatrician, and she's a nurse who worked in the pediatric ward of a local hospital until recently. They're around kids all the time. He was dispensing advice constantly to parents about how to handle their children. It's our job to know kids, and we love kids, and we're around them all day every day, so raising our own should be pretty easy, is what I think they thought.
He'd seen exhausted parents at the end of their psychological rope hundreds of times. Friends like myself had shared our own tales of the It Ain't All Wine + Roses variety. But when you're brilliant and gentle and caring and passionate and confident, the challenges facing normal humans don't concern you much. It's like expecting Tiger Woods to be worried about a 5-foot putt just 'cuz a lot of duffers miss theirs.
Here are just two things I've learned to believe about parenting:
(1) The smarter and more passionate you are about parenting before you become a parent, the more likely you'll be absolutely miserable and convinced you're a failure once you become one; and
(2) The more of a control freak you are, the more likely children will break your soul (or you theirs) for a while.
(Please note. We're talking likelihoods here, not cold hard absolutes.)
We were talking about parenting, and life, when Matt spoke the quote atop this page. He wasn't talking about himself when he spoke the words, but both of us ended up acknowledging that, to some extent, we've both struggled with that question more recently than we ever imagined we would.
Professionally, I'm in a position where my only options for advancement require that I leave my current job, and probably Chattanooga, and possibly education in general. But I like my job. My job is "a good, solid 7 1/2." It brings me plenty of satisfaction, and I know with certainty that I am appreciated and of value. Secure, satisfactory, static.
Domestically, I'm in a position where my only options for advancement require that I leave my current wife, and probably Chattanooga, and possibly everyone else who ever had any respect for me. But I love my wife. My wife is "a good, solid... um... 10 1/2..." and my family brings me more satisfaction than I could remotely deserve. I also know with certainty that I am appreciated and of value. Secure, satisfactory, static. [This is a clever joke, people. I don't really consider it "advancement" to leave my spouse. Unless Evangeline Lilly really really needs me.]
Parenting, especially in those first three or four years, is so intense that few people have time for the midlife crisis because the crisis is the poopy diaper and the baby screaming so loud your eardrums start bleeding and the baby throwing food all over the floor. When you're waking up in the middle of the night, it's not to ask yourself an existential question, but rather to change your kid's diaper or rock them back to sleep. But once you get a handle on that -- well, as much of a handle as parents can remotely get -- then the static electricity of life can create some challenges.
Your job, as the loathed saying goes, "is what it is." Your family "is what it is." You try and confront the static electricity with a hobby or two. Maybe you start a blog. Maybe you obsess about World of Warcraft or shoe shopping or rec league soccer. Maybe you do some cool philanthropic stuff like joining a board or becoming a Big Sister. All to figure out whether those things are enough to release that static electricity the way reaching out for a metal doorknob would.
Thankfully, for many of us in that boat, we can get up at 3 a.m., walk to the doorway of our child's bedroom, look at them sleeping peacefully, dreaming of unicorns or tractors or Ronald McDonald, and find some solace. When they awake in the middle of the night, we calm their fears and assure them everything's gonna be OK; gloriously, the reverse can also hold true.

I heard this quote recently from Edith Wharton which I found interesting and I think relates here, in spite of the fact that I hated reading Ethan Frome in 10th grade. Here it is: "If only we'd stop trying to be happy, we'd have a pretty good time." Not something I'm terribly good at, but I'm thinking about it.

That was an extremely depressing novel. Maybe the only book I 'read' (skimmed, probably a better word) where even the Cliff Notes were bleak.

And also the worst romantic(?)attempt at suicide of all time--let's both get on this sled and ride it through the snow into a tree! Billy,in spite of your assertions to the contrary, you sound a little down in the dumps here. Luckily, in case you think you're approaching some midlife angst, it never snows in Chattanooga.

Yo Bob, fret not too much. Being a little down now and then is part of a good roller coaster, and I luvs my roller coasters. This isn't a dire downer, just a minor dip.
Besides, I leave Sunday for a four-day poker trip where I risk throwing away (personal) record amounts of money, and my level of excitement about this trip is neither healthy nor wise, but it is quite real.

A blog following the journey of our premature twins, Joe and Harry who were born on 28/01/10 at only 23 weeks gestation.
Sunday, 7 February 2010
Ben's blog (7 Feb)
Yesterday we went to see the twins at the hospital. It was a journey of about an hour and a half to get to Portsmouth. When we got there there was lots of hand washing to do and it was really hot. We saw Joe and Harry and they were really tiny and had lots of tubes in. They were about the same size as Millie's smallest toy baby. On the way out I got stuck in the revolving door at the hospital and on the way in also. Jack did the same on the way out.

Coat – Zara (similar here) | Jumper – ASOS (similars here) | Shirt – Topman (similar here) | Jeans – Topman | Boots – Next | Watch – Emporio Armani
Merry Christmas!!!
It's finally here and boy I am so so excited! In a matter of hours, I'll be wearing this very outfit (I was organised and planned it around a month back) and spending time with my family which if you know me, you'll know makes me happier than anything (apart from fashion, Instagram and food…). This will also be the first time I am spending Christmas with my family, whom reside in America, in person in absolute ages!
Sartorially speaking, I opted for a smart, monochromatic look with a splash of fun and colour in the form of this ASOS jumper! I bought it last year and cannot get enough of it! As soon as December comes round it breaks free from the confines of my wardrobe and joins me during the festive season.
If it wasn't for the fact that wearing outerwear indoors when it isn't cold is rude, I would probably have kept this Zara mac on my body 24/7 as it looks so suave, feels so good on and retains heat from layers very well!
I hope you all have a wonderful day full of festive cheer, food, alcoholic beverages/hot beverages and joy! X

Today's Workout: 3 Miles, Easy
Health Check: I feel well-rested and my muscles feel strong.
I've been neglecting my apartment the last several weekends. From traveling to weddings, D.C, Boston, and CT, it was nice to spend some time in the big apple for a change.
I went out with some friends on Friday night, and after a few too many glasses of Rosé (gotta take advantage while it's in season), I remembered I needed to run the next morning and switched to seltzer. I refused to have a repeat terrible long run, so I guzzled water before bed, and made sure to get plenty of sleep.
The heat waves in NYC have been relentless this summer, so I was pleasantly surprised when I finally rolled out of bed at 9:15 on Saturday to see a beautiful 67 degree day outside.
My plan had me doing 8 miles, and I was really nervous for it. My knee was still giving me some trouble, so I made a conscious decision to rest up on Friday didn't make up the two miles I was supposed to do on Thursday. I had no idea how I was going to feel.
When I started my run, both my knees were really sore – uh oh. Instead of doing a bridge run, I headed to McCarren Park, and decided to do the entire run on the one trail with dirt and grass in my neighborhood. I wanted to protect my knees as best I could, and I knew they would respond better to a trail over concrete.
Did I mention this trail is about a one half mile loop?
I thought it would be a lesson in banality – running 12 loops of the same bottle-cap littered, bum and hipster-filled park was sure to be a bore. But surprisingly, it went by really fast, and I felt GREAT. I hit just about every mile at a nice and comfortable 10 minute-mile pace, slightly speeding up for the last two miles. My knees felt fine after a few miles, and I didn't tire at all of all the babies and puppies that were out in full force.
Keith and I traveled to Fort Greene on Saturday night with some friends. I find that we often get stuck staying in cozy Greenpoint, and don't explore the surrounding neighborhoods nearly as much as we should. We got dinner and drinks at this amazing place called Habana Outpost, where we stayed put for several hours. Give me a guacamole sandwich and some beer, and I am one HAPPY camper.
|Pretty pleased.
On Sunday, Keith and I did some fun New York activities, and started out by going to the Terracotta Warrior exhibit in Times Square.
|Qin Shi Huang - you had wayy to much
time on your hands.
We also hopped on the ferry to check out Brooklyn Bridge Park – which I HIGHLY recommend for anyone who hasn't been. We stumbled upon a really cute bar that made brick oven pizza, and sat in the park as we watched the sunset. It was a really great New York weekend, and I enjoyed the fruits of my running labors by eating every carb in sight (cue bagel, baguette sandwich, pizza, strawberry ice cream, fried rice, and some crab rangoons).
This evening, I did an easy three miler (without the trusty Garmin… starting to prefer my technology-free runs). I'm focusing on form and running SLOW, and I've been stretching as much as I can. This is my first week with 5 days of running, so my end goal is to just complete them.
Now I'm going to sit and enjoy my beautiful bookcase (THERE IS A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING IN MY APARTMENT!), and eat a dinner that involves vegetables (turns out, bread and pizza are not in the veggie group on the food pyramid. Sads).

Nice and organized! You have a lot of stuff there, but one can tell that everything is in order. That's very good! In an office or classroom, it always pays to have little clutter so that no one would be distracted.

Good Friday
Dear Family of Mary!
On this most solemn day we begin the Divine Mercy Novena, as requested by Our Lord to St. Faustina. (See the Dairy #699) We will pray together the novena prayers for each day, and recite the Divine Mercy Chaplet. We will also recall some of the words about Mercy given to us by Pope John Paul II, as we anticipate his canonization on Divine Mercy Sunday. We are asking for his intercession in a special way for all our needs including the needs of Mary TV! We will include a message each day from Our Lady of Medjugorje, as she is a most beautiful sign of God's mercy in these days.
We begin this Good Friday and with all our hearts we kneel beneath the Holy Cross of Christ, from whence all graces flow for mankind. In union with Mary, our Mother, and with Mary Magdalene and St. John, we pray: Jesus, I trust in You!
St. Faustina wrote:
Jesus, I trust in You...Novena to The Divine Mercy - Which Jesus instructed me to write down and make before the Feast of Mercy. It begins on Good Friday.
I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fountain of My mercy, that they may draw therefrom strength and refreshment and whatever grace they need in the hardships of life, and especially at the hour of death.
On each day you will bring to My Heart a different group of souls, and you will immerse them in this ocean of My mercy, and I will bring all these souls into the house of My Father. You will do this in this life and in the next. I will deny nothing to any soul whom you will bring to the fount of My mercy. On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My bitter Passion, for graces for these souls.
I answered, "Jesus, I do not know how to make this novena or which souls to bring first into Your Most Compassionate heart." Jesus replied that He would tell me which souls to bring each day into His Heart. (1186 Diary)
Divine Mercy Novena Day 1
"Today bring to Me all mankind, especially all sinners, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. In this way you will console Me in the bitter grief into which the loss of souls plunges Me."
Most Merciful Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion on us and to forgive us, do not look upon our sins but upon our trust which we place in Your infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by Your love which unites You to the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion show us Your mercy, that we may praise the omnipotence of Your mercy for ever and ever. Amen.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion show us Your mercy, that we may praise the omnipotence of Your mercy for ever and ever. Amen.
Let us pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy! (Instructions for the chaplet are found in the PS below.)
We conclude with a message from Our Lady of Medjugorje, a quote from Pope John Paul II and a short prayer in honor of his canonization on April 27, 2014!
Our Lady of Medjugorje has said to us:
"Dear children! I call you to prayer. By means of prayer, little children, you obtain joy and peace. Through prayer you are richer in the mercy of God. Therefore, little children, let prayer be the life of each one of you. Especially I call you to pray so that all those who are far away from God may be converted. Then our hearts shall be richer because God will rule in the hearts of all men. Therefore, little children, pray, pray, pray! Let prayers begin to rule in the whole world. Thank you for having responded to my call. (August 25, 1989)
Pope John Paul II:
In his encyclical "Dives In Misericordia" Pope John Paul II recognized the desperate need of mercy in the modern world. He said that all mankind is in need of mercy in these days:
The truth, revealed in Christ, about God the "Father of mercies," enables us to "see" Him as particularly close to man especially when man is suffering, when he is under threat at the very heart of his existence and dignity. And this is why, in the situation of the Church and the world today, many individuals and groups guided by a lively sense of faith are turning, I would say almost spontaneously, to the mercy of God. They are certainly being moved to do this by Christ Himself, who through His Spirit works within human hearts. For the mystery of God the "Father of mercies" revealed by Christ becomes, in the context of today's threats to man, as it were a unique appeal addressed to the Church...
In fact, revelation and faith teach us not only to meditate in the abstract upon the mystery of God as "Father of mercies," but also to have recourse to that mercy in the name of Christ and in union with Him. Did not Christ say that our Father, who "sees in secret," is always waiting for us to have recourse to Him in every need and always waiting for us to study His mystery: the mystery of the Father and His love?
I therefore wish these considerations to bring this mystery closer to everyone. At the same time I wish them to be a heartfelt appeal by the Church to mercy, which humanity and the modern world need so much. And they need mercy even though they often do not realize it. (Dives In Misericordia. N.2)
A prayer to Pope John Paul II:
O Blessed Trinity, we thank You for having graced the Church with Blessed John Paul II and for allowing the tenderness of Your Fatherly care, the glory of the Cross of Christ, and the splendor of the Spirit of love, to shine through him. Trusting fully in Your infinite mercy and in the maternal Intercession of Mary, he has given us a living image of Jesus the Good Shepherd, and has shown us that holiness is the necessary measure of ordinary Christian life and is the way of achieving eternal communion with You. Grant us, by his intercession, and according to Your will, the graces we implore, knowing that he will soon be numbered among Your saints. Amen.
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

PS. How pray the Chaplet (using the Rosary beads):
One Our Father
One Hail Mary
On the Our Father Beads say the following words:
"Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world".
On the Hail Mary Beads say the following words:
"For the sake of His sorrowful Passion have mercy on us and on the whole world".
In conclusion, after the five decades say three times:
"Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world".
PPS. For those who wish, Mary TV will Pray this novena live at 3:00 pm EDT starting April 18, 2014 (today) and ending on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 27, 2014! Join us at www.marytv.tv !
PPPS. The parish will climb Krizevac doing the stations of the cross at 11:00 am Medjugorje time today, which is 5:00 am EDT! We will stream it, but it will be early for those of us in America!
"Medjugorje is the spiritual center of the world."
Blessed John Paul II
Be connected!

A dramatic account of a kidnapping attempt involving an 11-year-old boy who supposedly fought off his assailant in Azusa earlier this week was not true, police said Wednesday.
In a short statement, Azusa police said they were "confident no attempted kidnapping occurred" but did not provide any explanation.
"Due to the age of the child involved and the sensitivity of the investigation, no additional information may be released," police said in the statement.
Police had previously said they were searching for suspects in what appeared to be a frighteningly bold attempt to snatch the child Monday night in the 300 block of North San Gabriel Avenue.
Police said they had received a call from the boy's mother Monday night and were told -- it's unclear if by the mother or her son -- that the boy was riding his bicycle when the passenger of a minivan jumped out from behind him and tried to abduct him.
It's unclear why police were told there was a kidnapping attempt. Officials said they learned the attempt never happened as a result of a detective's follow-up investigation.

Orange You Glad I Didn't Make a Knock Knock Joke?
Let me just say right off the bat that these are terrible pictures. The humidity was so horrible in Orlando that I couldn't keep the lens unfogged for more than a few seconds. All the closeups are useless. I was speaking at Agile2010 last week, and it was hard to convince me to go outside the air conditioning for any reason whatsoever. But wee toaty explorers always win in a fight between my comfort and their adventures, especially in a new state.
I'm not sure what this pavilion is used for, but the range of hanging monitors amuses me, especially since they're obviously older models.
Yep, we're in Disney World. Not in any of the parks, but we're on the property. It takes forever and a day to get anywhere off the property when you're staying in a Disney hotel, so this is what we get for a scene.

Coming Soon to a Seed Packet Near You
Underwood Gardens offers no photo of their newly reintroduced heirloom basil 'Pepper', but use your imagination: it is described as a "handsome, peppery-tasting basic with small, lavender blossoms, leathery dark-green leaves, and the distinct aroma of green pepper." But here's the kicker: it grows to 3 feet tall, 1-2 feet wide. A basil shrub! I'll take a dozen.
Botanical Interests offers a new blend of old sweet peas called 'Moroccan Spice' that includes four varieties of wine and chocolate-colored flowers. Mmmmmmmm….
And here's this silly thing: a "unique grasslike plant" (it's a sedge) called Isolepis 'Live Wire' that will be distributed wholesale by PanAmerican Seed, which means that it will probably show up in nurseries under another name or another company's label. I like a plant with a sense of humor, so why not?
Also from Botanical Interests is the 'Jelly Bean Red and Yellow' grape tomato. Sweet red and yellow tomatoes grow over a long season, making them the ultimate garden snack. (No, the red and yellow fruits don't grown on the same plant, but you can fool people by planting two vines in the same hole and letting them grow together.)
Anybody else see anything interesting on their list?Posted by Garden Rant on October 11, 2006 at 6:53 am, in the category Taking Your Gardening Dollar.

That sedge 'Live Wire' looks like fiber optic grass to me! It is a fun plant!
The Wonderland Mulberry alyssum would be welcome here if it looks the same in person as in the photo… my experiences with flowers from photos is too much like computer-dating.
Annie at the Transplantable Rose
Isolepis 'Live Wire' is also known as Fiber optic grass and has been sold as a water plant for years. This is the first time I have seen it from seed, but unless this variety "Live Wire" is new the plant has been around for years.
The Jelly Bean Tomato's sure look like they are growing on the same plant in the picture, and the description really never tells you they are two plants. I like Botanical Interest and we have carried them in the past. They have great descriptions and drawings of the vegetables and flowers. This seems just a little sly. They do the same thing with the sweet peas, a mix of varieties called "Moroccan Spice." Not new varieties, but new combinations of old varieties remarketed.
I never pay much attention to all the new varieties offered as there are just too many and some of them will fade away due to lack of interest. Still it gives gardeners something to think (dream) about during the winter.
I'm with Trey on not paying much attention to marketing trends… and their descriptions are a bit over the top. That said, what's not to love about new varieties and new combos of old varieties?
I'll take the following:
'Dreadlocks' Amaranthus
'Sunset Hyssop' Agastache
'Yellow Buttercup' watermelon
Btw, I planted red 'Jelly Bean' tomatoes last year and felt duped because they were not anywhere close to jelly bean size; they were just big old dumb grape tomatoes.
Red flag, opening statement on NGB site: "Gardeners love new varieties."
Gah. Okay, so they need to spark interest, but please, don't tell me what I love.
Usually I blip right over the new varieties because I'm looking for something specific. I'm not tempted to plant sedge grass, but I have to admit, that plant really reminds me of "Sideshow Bob" on The Simpsons.
Also liked the "dreadlocks" amaranthus.
(Do plants have bad hair days?)
I liked the agastache rupestris 'Sunset Hyssop' but it doesn't look much different from the 'Apache Sunset' for which I already have seeds.
What in the heck are "annualized astilbe" that are hardy to zone 4? Does that just mean you should see flowers if you start them early enough?
I liked the pentas. And I would probably plant 'Lolita' lettuce at least once for the name. 🙂

Thanksgiving 2011 part 2
Great is Thy faithfulness, Oh God my Father~Because I am old!!!! I clicked on the incorrect button and got the post too soon. I am NOT done praising the Lord for His goodness to me. In Psalm 33 it says "Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous, for it is fitting to praise Him." My righteousness is as filthy rags, but Jesus' death made me righteous in Him. I have a wonderful family. As I have said before, my cousins are all so special to me, as I am an only child. When Mother died in May 09, I felt like an orphan. I was in my 60's. I know that sounds weird, when I know friends and family who lost their parents at a very young age. I have many friends at the hospital and at church, plus our dear friends Jack and Linda who have always been there for us. God has been so good. He has seen us thru the grief of Sully (still is) and makes Heaven sweeter~ Thankful for His Word which feeds me daily, and my prayer list which I hover over each morning. I am truly thankful for my dear husband and the two daughters we have, plus my very special son-in-law, James. He is a keeper!! And then there are the girls :) Peyton, Paige, and Reese. We praise You, O Lord, and praise will be continually on our lips. Happy Thanksgiving to all. And a special greeting to my friend Nancy in Florida.

So, do you think Andy Reid has it tough?
You think people are too rough on him here in Philadelphia?
That they don't appreciate the good things?
That their rage in the middle of last season was over the top?
Well, meet Jurgen Klinsmann. He is the coach of Bayern Munich, a big-deal European football power. Klinsmann's team lost a Champions League quarterfinal at Barcelona recently. It lost by 4-0, which is reasonably thorough. Well, Klinsmann's boss has called it the worst game in the team's history -- a mouthful, certainly. And the routine shorthand in Munich for that game has become "the night of shame," which is so very European.
(An aside. There was this German journalist working at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. The US hockey team that year stunk. The coach was a guy named Dave Peterson, who would do day-after interviews following each game in a big auditorium. Like I said, they were awful. If memory serves, Mike Richter was the goaltender for at least part of the tournament, and the US goalies saw about 50 shots a night. Anyway, this German guy would take the microphone at every one of these press conferences and recite a litany of all of the problems the US team had, and how disorganized it looked, and this and that, working up to the same closing line, every day: "Coach Peterson, will you now resign in shame?")
Anyway, that was all of it until the above drawing filled the front page of a German newspaper. Now, I have to state here, that seemed a little bit over the top -- and so did Klinsmann; he's suing the paper. But there is a lesson here for all of us, for Reid and for the people who write about him and the people who talk about him on the radio and the people who blog about him and the people who write those friendly comments below the blog posts:
Compared to the Germans, we're amateurs.

Something which could Transform your Business
As you know, we're always on the lookout for ways to help you improve your business and maximise your success. Today, I'm posting this to let you know about something which could potentially have a dramatic impact on your business, it's called The Million Dollar Challenge.
The Million Dollar Challenge is a fabulous collaborative program put together by a business TV channel. It provides a select group of businesses with the opportunity to get access to world-leading advice from top experts, as well as tailored campaigns and marketing resources for their business, on a risk free basis. During a global "recession" this is surely something worth investigating.
We've looked into this further, and we're mighty impressed. It is something which is perfectly aligned for any business which has a solid product, service or model, but is just not growing fast enough. It's also perfect for a business which is frustrated by failed attempts at business development, or is concerned about ROI from marketing efforts. Current participants range from a high-end software company to an executive search firm. There are also SME's on the Million Dollar Challenge.
We asked yourBusinessChannel if we could tell all of our contacts about this programme. They've set up an explanatory video for you to view here. If you are interested, you can also answer a few simple questions online to apply straight away.
Be sure to check out the Million Dollar Challenge today, as with only a few seats left on the Million Dollar Challenge, applications are expected to close shortly.

I just knew when I woke up this morning that this would not be a good day!! Been having some decent days behind me but like always they never last, because there is always some bad feelings or triggers that appear, even when I don't want them too.
Some days it's even a battle to get out of bed...
Today I just feel sad, have overwhelming thoughts in my head...and the constant question, why did I have to get this stupid annoying PTSD, I never asked for it.
But it's a part of my life now so I have to try and get through these bad moments somehow...and I will.

Skip to comments.February 2013: No Leap Day (Car sales up strongly)
Posted on 03/01/2013 5:55:03 PM PST by nascarnation
Among major automakers, Ford Motor Company (+9.33 percent) and General Motors (+7.17 percent) were the leaders, while Toyota Motor Company (+4.34) and Chrysler Group (+4.11 thanks to a +30.33-percent performance by Dodge) managed to stay positive. Nissan North America, however, fared less well, reporting a drop in year-over-year sales of -6.65 percent.
Among brands, we see many luxury marques near the top, including Bentley (+42.86 percent), Porsche (+30.53 percent), Audi (+27.77 percent), Mercedes-Benz (+23.05 percent), Cadillac (+20.34 percent) and Land Rover (+19.97 percent). If taken as a sign of a recovering economy, then the wealthier among us appear to be leading the way.
(Excerpt) Read more at autoblog.com ...
Happy days are here again...
You are confusing Daily Sales Rate with Monthly Volume.
Doubt it seriously. Channel stuffing with dealer inventories out of sight. And yes, Government Motors, baby sister Chrysler, and the rest count them as retail sales when they leave the factory.
There are probably great deals out there for the European luxury brands. I heard today that their Euro sales are down 20 percent.
Thanks for correcting me. Misread the graph.
Unsold inventories are also tracked. Only GM and Chrysler are actually 'pipeline stuffing'. Most best-selling vehicles are in relatively short supply.

Dear Knittah,
I'm sorry I haven't written much lately, there just hasn't been all that much happening in the way of exciting travel... and I admit, I've been a bit lazy. Sorry! The good news is that I'll be making a trip to Fredericton, NB, this spring, and will be stopping in Toronto on my way there. (I'll be sure to check out Lettuce Knit! Oooo... they're open late Wednesday nights... I wonder if that's when the SNB meets? I'd love to hang out with a Toronto SNB! And, of course, if I happen to meet the Yarn Harlot, I'll be *sure* to get my picture taken with her! Noricum has met her a few times now, but I haven't gotten to meet her yet. *sigh*)
Anyway, here's the small bits of excitement we had in March:
Noricum and I and Noricum's friend (HJ) and Noricum's friend's husband went to Baked Expectations early in March. Noricum hadn't seen her friend in quite a while, and HJ is *pregnant*! (Baby knitting! Noricum had some fun with baby knitting back in February.) Anyway, the cake was soooooo good, that we didn't manage to get a photo of it before it disappeared. Whoops!
However, HJ helped take this photo where Noricum is pointing to the cake she had a slice of:
It was *yummy*! It was chocolate cake with a layer of chocolate cheesecake and another of chocolate mousse, all coated with chocolate ganache. (Can you tell Noricum likes chocolate? Or that she couldn't decide between cake, cheesecake, or mousse? And that in a state of chocolate-indecision, this cake was perfect? If she goes back again, though, she plans on having a slice of "plain old" chocolate cheesecake. Not that anything is "plain old" there!)
Then nothing much happened for *ages*... Noricum worked on her dissertation, and I hung out in her pocket, waiting for interesting opportunities.
Today, something interesting finally happened! We went to Artarama, an art show of local artists put on by the Knights of Columbus. (Noricum's dad is in the Knights, and her mom is having lots of fun doing art... so she had two invitations to go.) here's some of the art we saw:
(Did you notice I actually met one of the artists in that last photo!?! I gave her a postcard.)
After a fun afternoon looking at art, we had a *yummy* dinner at Masa, a Japanese restaurant:
Mmmmm! This time I managed to get a photo before all the food was gone... although there was already a big dent in the edamame, and Noricum had eaten two of her pieces of sashimi. For dessert, we had puffed rice cake at home that Noricum's mom had made. Mmmmmm!
Well, it's getting past my bedtime now, so I guess I should go to bed.

Baked Expectations, Artorama, and a really great dinner

Dear Swatchy,
I'm so glad to hear from you! The Artorama looks like it was great! And chocolate? You know I'm a fan of chocolate.
I've been busy making brothers and sisters for you. Wouldn't it be awesome it everyone could come back together for a family reunion at some point? Hmmmmmm. I am a party-planning fiend . . .
Love, Knittah

A family reunion would be awesome! When I heard that you might go to Maryland Sheep and Wool, I wished that I had some air miles left!

Celebrity Stylist, Danilo, Styles Anne Hathaway's Contemporary Glamour Look for the Alice in Wonderland Premiere, London
Pantene Pro-V Ambassador and Celebrity Stylist, Danilo's Step by Step Guide to Get the Look:
Step 1:
After washing hair use a Pantene Pro-V Nature Fusion Moisture Balance Leave-In conditioner throughout the length of your hair to leave it shiny and touchably soft.
Step 2:
Use a hair dryer and do classic blowdry. First part your hair in a side parting then apply Pantene Pro-V Volume & Body Mousse to the roots to boost volume. Then take 3cm wide sections of hair at a time and blowdry the length of the hair curling the hair under at the ends with a round brush to give the ends a rounded finish.
Step 3:
To finish apply some an anti-frizz serum to the ends for added shine then mist you hair all over with a volumising hairspray to give your look staying power for the evening.
Danilo's Top Tip: "Make sure you've got your umbrella with you so you don't end up drowned by the pouring rain like the stars on the red carpet."

[edit: added a few clarifications to pars 4, 5, 7 and 8]
One of the things I criticize economists for in my book for their sociological naivety and political duplicity is the idea that designer markets will unleash 'innovation'. The US Sulphur Dioxide Market (Title IV of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendment), is a kind of linchpin of neoliberal market environmentalism in this regard. Whiggish neoclassical economists like the prolific Robert Stavins and Denny Ellerman haven't just defended the scheme to justify the creation of a national carbon cap-and-trade scheme, their careers were built on constructing the original scheme itself; whilst Stavins actually lobbied for its introduction and continues to be an influential player in the US climate policy ring.
One of the things I criticize economists for in my book for their sociological naivety and political duplicity is the idea that designer markets will unleash 'innovation'. The US Sulphur Dioxide Market (Title IV of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendment), is a kind of linchpin of neoliberal market environmentalism in this regard. Whiggish neoclassical economists like the prolific Robert Stavins and Denny Ellerman haven't just defended the scheme to justify the creation of a national carbon cap-and-trade scheme, their careers were built on constructing the original scheme itself; whilst Stavins actually lobbied for its introduction and continues to be an influential player in the US climate policy ring.
It's widely accepted that the scheme did the job, though social democratic and other lefty types question the degree to which it was more effective than more direct controls in Europe. Germany, for example, simply legislated for power plants to install scrubbers. The cost was quite high, though not as high as anticipated, and the environmental result was much better than in the US.
As Donald Mackenzie has detailed, the US sulphur scheme is an historical and conceptual link between the small scale, often ham-fisted markets the EPA instituted during the 1970s and 80s and the 'flexible mechanisms' of the UNFCCC, which would not have achieved its scale (or legal status) without the US Imperial ambitions for a global market. Mackenzie is actually quite sanguine about the prospects for emissions trading in the EU, though I do wonder whether the recent Sandbag reports of miserly actual reductions thanks to the GFC has forced him to reconsider this position.
What's at stake in assessments of emissions trading is geopolitically significant in a number of ways. As John Gray has argued repeatedly, the ideology of neo-liberalism rests on the distinctly American illusion of economic globalisation as Enlightenment. The dismantling of Keynesianism by neo-liberals saw one system of risk distribution (ethno-population welfare) displaced by another (financialized risk)... or so the GFC has taught us - the Efficient Market Hypothesis was not the apothesis of Enlightenment, its nobel prize winning proponents believed. As Gray puts it, the US is actually a limiting case in the sense that its project reflect its own insecurities and tensions - it's no basis for cosmopolitan civilization. In this spirit, I take a crack at the US Sulphur Scheme as a kind of linchpin in these narratives of progress and cost-effectiveness, from two angles.
The first line of critique (an ambitious one for sure) runs through Foucault and Polanyi who, in their very different ways, locate the origin of 'our' modern understanding of 'the economy' in the 19th Century. For Foucault, 'life' and 'economy' were born together: changes in the field of biology saw the difference between organic and inorganic become fundamental at the same time as studies of commerce moved from the surface signifiers of 'wealth' in the 18th Century to the political economy of Ricardo and Marx's 'all embracing presuppositions and moments in themselves'. Polanyi's Great Transformation tracks the dissolution of the 'organic' in a different sense: mercantilist bonds through the liberal construction of 'fictitious' commodities of property and labour. For Polanyi, the only 'real' free market in history was around the 1820-1860s, when a 'double movement' began and society recoiled in horror at the devastation wrought by liberalism, responding with labour unions, child protection, and, most significantly for my purposes: the Alkali Inspectorate - the first society in contractualist England to use public funds to protect private property - it's only with this expertise that Coasean bargaining around 'negative externalities' can occur in the original article 'Problem of Social Cost.'
This detour allows me to run counter to the thrust of Timothy Mitchell's argument that the economy as we understand it today did not emerge until after the Second World War with the Welfare State when GDP calculations were performed in national 'centres of calculation'. Instead, I argue that this scientific organization ('framing') of the social and political boundaries of industry was a precondition for contemporary understandings of the economy. Liberalism, in other words, was made by regulatory projects, and regulatory projects made modern liberal science. There's a lot more here that I don't have space to go into, particularly the Marxist take on Regulation...
As far as climate change goes, Polanyi's legacy lives on the work of Larry Lohmann and Foucault in just about every Geography department in the UK and North America... as far as I know, they're more often viewed antagonistically than not**
The second line of critique follows the performativity/STS crowd (Mackenzie, Callon, and others) who are particularly au fait with the historical coproduction of liberal science and economics. In a recent-ish interview Callon describes how his notion of 'framing' was developed from work he was doing on the role of Kenneth Arrow and other post-War economists, an idea he's been pursuing for over a decade now. He saw their work as integral to performing the post-war science/society settlement: you scientists provide techno-gadgets; we, society, will continue to fund your 'basic' research*** Framing, for Callon, describes the work of delimiting markets these sciences can then provide. If firms (like power plants) had to account for everything, markets would be impossible. Instead of complicating the story with social structures, as economic sociologists try to, Callon's injunction is to understand how economists - in the broadest possible sense, including scientists - simplify the world to fit their models; and what calculative arrangements are necessary to make the fit work in practice?
This is well trodden ground thanks to Mackenzie's meticulous work, so finding fresh angles hasn't been easy. As it turns out, the calculative 'frames' used by economists (general equilibrium modelling of allocation effects, ex post studies of cost effectiveness) have excluded some pretty important factors to make their models sing. So I disagree with Mackenzie on some key points, most notably policy additionality and technical innovation. Freight rail deregulation - a completely exogenous reform to the CAAA - was the key factor in bringing compliance costs below what was anticipated in the ex ante modelling studies conducted by the likes of Environment Defense Fund and others.
The 'technical innovation' of the CAAA is pretty hollow, and certainly not the basis for a global carbon market stimulating groundbreaking innovations that will solve climate change. (That, I've been convinced ever since I've been involved with electricity restructuring in detail, will require far more localized political pressure). Essentially, the 'market' made an existing commitment to cut pollution more cost effective using known technologies (scrubbing and fuel switching) in an oligopolistic market.
The central lesson for my thesis is that regulatory markets require an enormous amount of 'boundary work' in the sense of rhetorically separating the work performed by market and non-market calculation. Externalities are where the action is for studies of economization. This boundary work is necessary because of the ideological aversion of neoliberals to 'planning', for reasons Will Davies has explained far more convincingly and thoroughly than I could. This feeds into problem of the 'conditions of felicity' for performativity: economists can't simply enunciate their models for them to become true, they're embedded in social and historical forces - this is why I go back to Foucault and Polanyi to situate the significance of the neoliberal break.
So rather than 'a Star' or a 'living legend' as US Progressive Economists like Dallas Burtraw and Stavins claim, I prefer to think of the US Sulphur Dioxide Scheme as a victory... one that demands detailed description.

*Satre, The Devil and the Good Lord (1951)
**I suspect this is a result of the way Polanyi's concept of 'embeddedness' is treated, bleached and hung out to dry by the analytic philosophy biased US academy. Fwiw, I side with the neo-Foucauldian critique of 'community' as equally as problematic as neoliberal units of analysis
***Science studies scholars like Brian Wynne and Michel Callon have mounted powerful critiques of 'linear' innovation models that underpin the neoliberal attack on Universities through defenses of basic research (yet another reason the truthiness science warriors are idiots.)

Does Your Heart Ever Just Feel Weepy?
It's a known fact that people with chronic illnesses go through the cycle of grief over and over.... Tonight I am just so overwhelmed by all these dysautonomia symptoms and learning of it all .... this has lead to me realizing I have certain symptoms I didn't even know I had because I thought everyone did that... like sometimes I can hear my eyes blink and sometimes I get this weird clicking when I talk... I just am down tonight... all I do know is this is where I have to rely on my faith to get me through... I can be healed... lots of prayers... I hope you are having a better night then me and if you are weepy... Do NOT every feel bad about it! You deserve the right to feel how ever you may be feeling <3 Don't forget you are strong! You are in my prayers! lots of love, xoxo-Chelle

It is so easy to believe that our world is full of evil. Mostly because, well…it is! If you spend any amount of time in front of the TV, you know it's rampant out there. But good people ARE out there as well.
Satan is no dummy. He's been around a long time and knows the weaknesses we will have in our personal makeup, long before WE do! After all, he has been witness to generation after generation of our ancestors, and has a full history of how "the sins of our fathers" will affect us. All he has to do now, is to rub on and poke at that irritating/weak/hurtful/ugly area in our lives and give us major head cases to distract us from what we should really be focusing on… Our Loving Father, Jesus Christ, and how He can work in our lives to touch others.
Well, throughout this whole sad journey, I have been extremely blessed by several people. Some of them total strangers. All of them allowing God to do great things through them. All of them making a conscious choice to do a good, kind, loving thing for someone else. And in some cases…a total stranger! All of them showing me how God can use hurt and damaged humans to nurture, comfort and care for other hurt and damaged humans… if they will but allow Him to.
I want to tell you about some humans who allowed God to use them, and how they became angels in my life.
(Since I was in such a fog…I may not have all the facts exactly right, but this is what I can remember…and the gist of story is exactly as was!)
I checked into my hotel on the evening of April 15. While most of America was battling to get their taxes in on time… I had just come from seeing my Dad battling for his life. I was numb, tired, jet lagged and everything was covered in a dense fog as I cried myself to sleep that night.
The next morning came quickly, since still operating on east coast time, and anxious to get back to the hospital, I pried my swollen eyes open, got ready and headed down to the lobby to get some coffee. I didn't feel like eating, but knew I should, so ordered an egg sandwich on an English muffin – hold the bacon! (my stomach couldn't handle it.)
I don't remember if it was that day or the next, but the sweet girl behind the counter asked some questions and we somehow started talking about my Dad. I shared with her his struggle and my fears. She asked if she could hug me, and that started my encounter with one of Gods "care taking angels"… Her name was Yolanda.
I will return to continue the story…

Adorable reindeer! I'm glad you have mementos for the day after showing us all the things you didn't buy!ReplyDelete
Those reindeer are adorable - well worth the effort!ReplyDelete
Oh I love those reindeer - they even have scarves!ReplyDelete
The star is lovely - it looks almost ethereal. (You can't have too many trees in my opinion.)
Aww reindeer are always the best at Christmas. And Stars too.ReplyDelete
3 trees? Well why not
Daughter had it right: Those reindeer are adorable!ReplyDelete
Excellent job on the reindeer. I highly approve they are really cute! I love stars and snowflake shaped decorations. I love that she picks one out for the collection every year. That's such a sweet tradition!ReplyDelete

It was FABULOUS!! I, of course, had to do some scrapping afterward. I still have a few more pages to do, but here's what I've got so far. I used alot of Ornamental and Concrete Jungle kit items from Club Scrap for these.

Ford's globally popular small car, the all-new Ford Fiesta will arrive in the Philippine market in October 2010, closely timed with the introduction of the much-awaited vehicle in other ASEAN markets, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Filipino customers will be able to choose between a sleek and stylish Ford Fiesta four-door sedan and a bold and sexy five-door hatchback in a total of six variants and eight sophisticated colors, all designed for a new generation of drivers with a taste for fun and freedom.
The all-new Ford Fiesta boasts of being irresistibly stylish with Ford's state-of-the-art kinetic design. Surprising and distinctive from every angle, the two models are loaded with technologically savvy features and an engaging interior with never-before seen advancements in its category.
Available in two fuel-efficient I4 engines in either a 1.4L or 1.6L, it promises a powertrain and driving dynamics balanced for an altogether fun-to-drive offering. And as another first, the Fiesta also possesses Ford's innovative new best-in-class six-speed, dual-clutch automatic PowerShift transmission.
Bold and Athletic: Ford Fiesta's Kinetic Design
With Fiesta, Ford is meeting growing customer demand for sporty small cars with a sleek, sophisticated design.
The front end features the familiar Ford signature grille with the Blue Oval trademark. Sweeping, elongated headlamps frame the hood.
The Fiesta's rear end stands out with chamfered rear lift gate glass, a low roofline, a spoiler and dramatic tail lamps with honeycomb detailing on hatchback models. Muscular rear quarter panels wrap tightly over the wheels, giving the car a bold, muscular look.
The design features that set Fiesta apart on the outside also contribute to an inviting interior, with sculpted surfaces and contrasting colors.
The instrument panel centre stack is designed to feel as familiar and useful as the keypad on popular hand-held electronic devices. Intuitive switchgear and comfort zone seating are just some of the features customers will enjoy.
Fiesta Fun… and fuel efficient
Ford Fiesta delivers on spirited performance and fuel efficiency. The standard 1.4-litre is a proven performer with 95 PS (70kW) at 5750rpm while the larger 1.6-litre engine provides 121 PS (89kW) at 6000rpm. Both engines are designed to run with Ethanol 20 fuel, 91 RON and 95 RON.
The new PowerShift six-speed automatic transmission, available with the larger 1.6-litre engine, combines the responsive performance and fuel economy of a manual, with the convenience of an automatic, perfect for urban driving. With six forward gears, the engine speed is optimized for smooth transmission, performance and fuel economy. This technologically advanced transmission is normally found in larger, more expensive vehicles.
Hill Launch Assist is another important safety feature that keeps the car still on an incline without having to use the handbrake, preventing the vehicle from rolling back. Brake pressure is maintained until the engine delivers enough torque to move the vehicle up the hill, providing improved driver confidence and comfort. The system works in forward and reverse gears.
In the Philippine market, the introduction of the Fiesta began last June with the launch of a revolutionary digital campaign- ConnectWithFiesta. Ford Group Philippines orchestrated the introduction of the Ford Fiesta in the digital world with the launch three online portals developed to engage a wider market of online users and fans, connecting them with the global Ford Fiesta phenomena: ConnectWithFiesta.com, Ford.com.ph and Ford Fiesta
on Facebook. Philippines
Now, local Ford Fiesta enthusiasts who have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Ford Fiesta will be able to see the vehicle on display at the 3rd Philippine International Motor Show this August 19 to 22, 2010 at the

US Representative David Rivera, R-Miami, has proposed legislation that would allow undocumented foreign national kids who entered the United States illegally to stay under certain conditions. This bill is known as the Studying Towards Adjusted Residency Status Act, or STARS.
The STARS Act would allow undocumented kids to get a five year nonimmigrant visa if they demonstrate good moral conduct and get admitted to college, provided that they are 19 years old or younger, or 21 years old or younger and have been granted voluntary departure, they arrived in the United States before age 16, and they have maintained residence in the United States for at least the previous five consecutive years. Upon graduation from a four year college, they would have the opportunity to adjust status to permanent residence, and later become US citizens.
This bill was inspired by the story of Daniela Pelaez, who joined Rep. Rivera for Wednesday's press conference. 18 year old Pelaez is an undocumented immigrant from Columbia and high school valedictorian. She was ordered deported in March, but obtained a three year suspension of deportation after a protest at her school involving 2,500 people. Pelaez and her lawyer, Nera Shefer, have been working with Rivera to draft the bill in order to help other undocumented students get legal US status. Pelaez has been accepted to Dartmouth College, where she plans to attend this fall.
According to Shefer, the STARS Act targets a narrower group of individuals than the DREAM act does and would therefore be more realistic and easier to get enacted.

Google said Wednesday that it plans to make Provo, Utah its third Google Fiber City.
The Mountain View, Calif.-based company announced that it will take its high-speed gigabit Internet service to Provo by taking over an existing fiber-optic network there. The official launch of the service is delayed, pending a vote by the Provo City Council scheduled for Tuesday.
Google said it has agreed to purchase an existing fiber-optic network there called iProvo. As part of the acquisition, Google will commit to upgrading the network to enable every home currently connected to iProvo to access Fiber's network.
Provo began building its own network in 2004 to provide high-speed Internet access to its growing technology community. The city began looking for someone to buy the network nearly 18 months ago, the city said in a statement.
"Now, we're able to realize the dream of providing reliable access to Provoans in a viable way," said Mayor John Curtis. "This is a very exciting moment for Provo."
As part of the deal, Google also will offer its free Internet service (at 5 Mbps speeds) to every home on the existing network for at least seven years. Users will have to pay a $30 activation fee. This is similar to the deal that Google announced for Austin, Texas earlier this month.
Google also is offering free gigabit service to 25 local public institutions, which the company said includes schools, hospitals and libraries.
The tech titan said that Provo was an ideal place to launch its high-speed network — not only because it is home to a growing technology and start-up community, but also because it's been voted one of the best places to live and work in the country.
Provo will be the third U.S. city to get Google Fiber. Kansas City, Kan., was the first, after winning a nationwide contest that Google launched in 2012. Earlier this month, Google said that it would bring Fiber toAustin, after working with city officials to ease regulatory hurdles to developing the network there.
As The Washington Post reported, Google executives have not said whether the company will offer Fiber deals to other cities, but said they consider the Fiber project similar to services such as YouTube and its Android smartphone system — smaller initiatives that the company experimented with before they grew into big successes.
Google's entry into the the broadband space also could continue to spur other companies to offer high-speed Internet in order to compete. As the Post reported, Time Warner Cable began offering faster speeds to business users in Kansas City after Google's announcement there. Similarly, AT&T said it would bring consumers and businesses the higher-speed networks if the city of Austin would ease regulations for AT&T as well.

Dear Dr. Jim
I have a beef. Our subdivision is now requiring all dogs to be on a leash whenever they are off our own property.
Can they enforce this? My doggie, Fuffo, likes to do as he pleases.
Dogs should be free advocate, Muffie in Redland.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Dear Muffie
Your question has a simple answer, no. NO.
They only way this could be enforced is if your deed restrictions give the subdivision leaders the authority to do this.
All you have to do is show them that you moved there for the freedom of your dog. And that you have read the deed restrictions which are silent (are you sure they are silent?) about freedom of dogs. And that the deed restrictions don't give them authority to control your dogs.
Then tell them you will sue if they continue to harass you about poor little Fuffo.
Notwithstanding all the above, the county or city will have authority to regulate the conduct of all your dogs off your private property.
Incidentally, I am a dog lover myself. We have a beagle, Adi our hound dog, and a toy poodle named Katrin (she's French). They are basically free but for their own protection we always use a leash when walking them.
I hope this helps you and Fuffo,
Dr. Jim

AKC Agility finals are on Animal Planet tonight. I got to see part of the finals one year in Denver, before it was a big TV event. I don't even think there was a cover charge.
I was in Denver by myself on business, and stayed on a few days because I'd never seen Denver. I went to the Agility trial because I had never seen one of those either. I sat in the stands and cried at times, because those dogs ran their hearts out. A yorkie on a slow moving teeter can still make me mist over to this day.
My own kids are getting a good run so they'll be all tired out for the program...and just in case, I'm thawing out a turkey leg. Is that wrong of me?

The quiet moments
by the time your life is over you will have spent:
6 Months at stoplights
8 Months opening junk mail,
A year and a half looking for lost stuff
5 Years standing in lines
God wants these moments too. He wants that one on one connection with us in all of our moments. God tells us on several occasions to pray without ceasing, pray on all occasions.
Might I offer you a little challenge, when you're having a quiet moment whether waiting in line at the check-out line in the grocery store, folding clothes or even brushing your hair getting ready for work send a prayer up to God, offer your day to Him and let God know you're thinking of Him in that quiet moment, instead of letting your mind wander to your to-do list, let it wander to a God opening His arms to you for the day.

I do this! I have an open conversation with him daily. While some may think it is nuts it is just the way I love to do things. All day long or whenever I want I talk to him, thank him and pray. Such a nice thing to have in my daily life. The little moments are the best!

So far I'm loving London, although my initial adoration of the tube is rapidly fading. This week I failed to realise that the tubes were undergoing engineering works on the weekend evening so I had my first experience of a London double decker red bus. Not quite as fun as I had hoped. Then there were problems on the pink tube that I get every morning and I had to take a green and a yellow (see, I kinda know what I mean).
I have realised that I'm too polite for the underground stations as I keep being knocked over all the time.
If anyone fancies a pint or a coffee (or a pint of coffee) then drop me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com and we can work something out, I'm sure.
This week and next week has some excitement in store, but I will blog about it in due time.
I just need to start wearing flat shoes. I can already feel my achilles tendons shortening after only 10 days!
So far though, elective = win!
The original title of this blog came after I was ranted at in the student union by someone who felt that students were a 'drain on society'. It's stuck since then.

You have to shove on tubes, especially in rush hour, or you just don't get on the train. Or you can do what I do, which is kind of sidle past people waiting on the platform in the least noticeable way possible and then hop on the train before anyone else gets a chance to (although after waiting for the people getting off to get off always). x

Oh, and you need to wear trainers or pumps for travelling, and take the heels in a bag to put on just before you walk into work. That is what people do to avoid sore feet.

"Currently, over half of the individuals on the Washington State Patrol's Most Wanted List are suspected illegal immigrants... There are about 50,000 felony warrants currently issued in Washington State and according to a source in the U.S. Marshall's office between 30-40 percent are believed to be illegal immigrants."
We're going to enjoy seeing those political ostriches attempt to justify their sanctimonious lecturing of the residents of another state to their own constituents should this current wave of felonies continue at this pace.

"This would probably be great if it wasn't ruined by the Velveeta cheese. Velveeta isn't even REAL cheese. It needs Ricotta and Mozzarella mixed in. That's the only way to make it! Processed Velveeta cheese is just downright NASTY. Sorry, JMO"

Exercise is Poopy
I carry most of my weight in my hips and butt and have never had a problem with my tummy area. At least that was until I had a child. When I was nursing I ended up about 5-7 lbs. lighter than my normal weight (basically, I had not hips or butt), but within a week of stopping nursing I was back to my norm. There's something about having a child that just makes a tummy learn to pooch. I'm not happy with it AT ALL. I really can't complain that much, though, because I have hardly exercised since Maddox was born, let alone do consistent sit-ups.
Exercising is boring.
Any way, I'm trying really hard to do at least 50 sit-ups every day to see if I can get rid of some of the pooch. If I don't get it under control now, I'm afraid it will be there forever. I suppose it's not the end of the world, but there is nothing worse than a saggy belly hanging over my jeans when I sit!!!

I hear ya, sister. Up until about 6 months ago I didn't ever have a problem with my stomach area but then something stupid happened and my stomach just isn't what it used to be. So I've been doing all sorts of ab exercises recently to hopefully get it back in shape.
Maybe we can keep each other accountable?

Oh man I dispize working out... Well actually I either love it or hate it, I go through phases. But right now I hate it and have for about a year now lol. I have a free membership to Idaho Athletic club through my work and used it alot in the beginning but for the past year didn't use it at all. Stupid I know, but I hate working out by myself! And I have a tummy pooch problem too, thats really the other place my weight is and has ever been, not counting my boobs, but they're another story lol, and I tried for FOREVER to get rid of the pooch but it never worked, so I gave up lol. Oh well :-)
Oh and sorry I disapeared for a week.

that is so funny, i am totally the opposite. i love exercising but cant seem to get more than a few days in a week (if that)
well, it is certainly not noticeable with your clothing on if there is some sort of pooch in there(= you look fabulous silly!!
i was a bit bummed when valen hit six months and i still wasnt back to pre-pregnancy weight. but i have been ok with it lately. because with my clothes on no one can tell and my husband doesnt care at all. the little bump is so tiny really and who says that we have to be supermodels after giving birth, that is so much pressure! women are beautiful with all their crazy curves and shapes!
but i did do some research on tightening tummy after baby and most sites i looked at were actually against doing crunches, saying they only build muscle behind the fat there so it makes it look worse. if i can remember the site i found some great alternative exercises on i will send it your way.
good luck getting even cuter than you already are!
