Start the year with a bang not a beep
And a happy new year to you too. A phone call is a nice way to wish someone well for the season. A text message from someone three sheets to the wind at 12:44am is as welcome as having someone scream happy new year in your face and then throw up on your new shoes. Hence to say I did not feel compelled to reply and pretended that I slept through the festivities. I usually bother very little with New Year's forced upon celebrations. However I did manage to stay awake long enough to see the spectacular display in the night sky, the weather I mean. The thunder and lightening over the bay provided an exciting show and didn't cost a cent. The news programs of the morning do their whip around the world to show various fireworks displays over the predictable national monuments. In the lead up to the European new year there was the story of the Italians who go out and buy their own fireworks by the truck load. There must be something quite satisfying about doing your own fireworks display as opposed to standing around waiting for someone else's (sorry make that tax payer funded) pyrotechnically managed, same as every year, new year event. Health and safety and so on but the joy of buying it, setting fire to it and watching it go bang was probably the whole point of the fire cracker game in the first place give or take a few lost eyes, limbs etc. So my predictions for the year is that 2010 will be a year of much joy and sadness, increased ageing for everyone and a variety of weather conditions for all hemispheres. Bonne Annee but just don't text me.

Well, if the s'more & owl cookies weren't hint enough, here's the answer to the big riddle this week...my husband's 1st box for this week is a Camping Trip in a box. I try to incorporate things my husband loves into the themes of each package, and we love to camp. It's not something we've had the opportunity to do much because in the 5 years we've been married, my husband has been deployed 3 of them and also because we have a toddler. However, this year we are devoted to the idea of taking camping trips more often. Our son is old enough now and my husband SHOULD be home for a while after this deployment (fingers crossed). The weather is perfect for camping right now, I'm super sad he can't be here to go camping right now. So since we can't go on a camping trip, I decided to take the camping trip to him. I sent him a mini-coleman lantern and a ton of s'more items (s'more snacks, homemade s'more cookies, s'more icing for s'more cookies, all the items to make his own s'mores...though i doubt that'll be possible, and of course s'more poptarts-because he's requested poptarts in every box now). I also sent him some trail mix and trail mix bars. I was going to send a scary movie too, but this box was filled to the tip top. All well, I sure hope he enjoys this one.

Big Bertha
She is large and in charge. This big momma is my Cornish Cross hen, who got a lifetime pass to stay here as long as she lives. She was raised with the batch of broilers I raised for my sister, two and a half years ago. She's still keeping up with all the other chickens, although she probably weighs more than three times what they do. She roosts on the lowest rung, and she can get up into the nesting box too. People say Cornish Crosses are freaks of nature and won't live long, but that's not always the case. If they're pushed feed, they'll have issues. If they're raised with plenty of exercise and not too much food, they can live long lives like this gal. I can't help think how many meals we'd get out of her, but I already told her she's a pet.

Look at ol' Bertha! She looks great! She's sure beating that myth to pieces, isn't she? It's all in how you raise them. :)

Today was such a gorgeous day; I woke up to a thunderstorm complete with loud crashes of thunder and lightening and buckets of rain. It was absolutely magical. It took me such a long time to get out of bed because of it, I almost missed my bus (oops!)
And then after the storm, it cleared up and the earth smelled so wonderful. It smelled like flowers, leaves, dirt, humidity, rain, everything the earth is supposed to smell like only intensified because of the rain.
But.... instead of enjoying this loveliness outside, I was stuck inside and being forced to dream of summer and playing the harmonica on the lawn.
Here are some photos to show my angst and love :) Floral is really speaking to me right now...
Yep! I did get this next picture from another blog! You caught me! But.... I found it on google images and not on the blog, so I feel like I'm ok... Anyways, the floral and pastels in this picture is really refreshing.
Had to put some Marie Anntoinette photos up! This post would feel incomplete with these!

Only a few weeks left of school! I hope I can make it!

Obama Seeks Wide Support in Congress for Stimulus
The New York Times - WASHINGTON — Two weeks before assuming power, President-elect Barack Obama took his economic recovery package to Capitol Hill on Monday and worked to build a bipartisan coalition to endorse his plan of tax cuts and new spending with an urgent appeal "to break the momentum of this recession.
Mr. Obama, on his first full day in Washington since the election, held a series of face-to-face meetings with Democrats and Republicans as he began spending his political capital. He spoke of the nation's economic condition in dark terms and urged Congress to pass the legislation within a month.
"Right now, the most important task for us is to stabilize the patient," Mr. Obama said. "The economy is badly damaged — it is very sick. So we have to take whatever steps are required to make sure that it is stabilized."
The meetings were a mix of symbolism and substance between the man who will be sworn in as the 44th president and the Congressional leaders who hold the fate of his agenda in their hands. The sessions, aides said, were particularly aimed at encouraging Republicans to buy into the plan and help ease resistance over a $775 billion price tag. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/06/us/politics/06stimulus.html?partner=permalink&exprod=permalink

When I began sharing about how God was speaking to me in the midst of persecution, I feared I'd lose readers, yet what I found was that people have been searching online for such articles for help. We know that we have brethren in China and other countries that suffer persecution, persecution that we do not suffer in the United States. However, since we live in a country that has rights for the people, some forms of persecution have not occurred often. Something I noticed when my children were in a private school is that there is a stark difference in the form of persecution. It was very different from what we see in public schools and in the movies.
When you are in a place that has rules and limitations on how you can treat people, the persecution becomes sly. Persecution is lead by the enemy and he has to hide the evidence of persecution in order to keep it going. Most Believers wouldn't readily admit to have persecuted others, but we all have in one way or another. We're all guilty of it. When we purposefully refuse to invite someone to a large gathering because we don't accept them, when we choose not to sit by the homeless man in church, when we treat parolees as less than because they served time in prison, etc.
The persecution taking place in China is very different from here, but I believe it's coming soon. Even in the middle of all the American Rights, persecution is still coming. Jesus told us that before he comes back the world will see so much evil, as never seen before. (Matthew 24)
Something I noticed when writing about this, is that when I point out what the different forms of persecution are, there are some that become wildly angry with me. If you're on my Facebook friends list, you may have seen some of the flare ups on my wall from some people. I have also received some unkind comments on this blog, but they are held in moderation. I recently changed the comment settings to not allow anonymous comments anymore.
While we welcome dialogue about our articles, even if in disagreement, we reserve the right to not publish comments that are disrespectful to the authors or other readers.
I added a poll to the right hand side bar, which will remain until December 31st, 2009. I am interested to know what kind of persecution you have suffered. Maybe you suffered at a family gathering when an aunt or cousin scoffed at you for praying before your meal. Maybe you suffered your home being vandalized because your husband is a preacher and his message may have caused a ruckus in someone's heart. Perhaps you suffered from friends disconnecting from you for leaving a church. Whatever the case may be I want to know. I pray that the messages God teaches me, while I'm in persecution, will be of encouragement to you.
I don't have all the answers, but He shows me more along the way. Some people think I'm full of malarkey and that I'm not really 'suffering' persecution. Sometimes people may not know the depths of it because you don't share the details and sometimes they simply don't believe its happening to you. But when they see it for themselves they will know. It's okay if they don't listen. Keep seeking help until you find someone who will listen. You're not alone and you don't have to go through it without support.

Costs incurred by the Village of Walbridge for renovating a building and property along Drouillard Road have a member of council questioning the village's procedures for such transactions.
Ed Kolanko, a member of council's finance committee, last week said he became frustrated when bills for the renovation costs came streaming in and soon easily exceeded the administration's initial estimates.
In March, the village purchased the building and property at 30801 Drouillard Road for $70,000.
The ordinance by council approving the purchase was quickly followed by a motion to approve a lease for the property with Professional Transportation, Inc., which had been located on Main Street but was looking for another site.
As the village began renovating the building, Kolanko said the village administration projected costs would be about $10,000.
Mayor Dan Wilczynski last week, however, said the total costs for material and labor are approximately $45,000.
"We spent more than we were verbally told," Kolanko said. "We didn't just spend a little more, we spent a lot more. That's where my frustration is. During this process a lot of this information could have been shared with council and it wasn't. I guess it's my own fault too for not asking more questions sooner but there were meetings this information could have been shared with us."
According to the minutes of council's Sept. 2 meeting, Kolanko requested his peers postpone paying one of the bills for renovating the property until council had time to examine the costs in more detail. Only two other councilmembers, Maureen Jacobsen and Kathy Heldt, supported his motion to delay payment and it failed due to a lack of a majority.
Mayor Wilczynski said the renovation began with village personnel doing most of the work but a private contractor, Granata & Haack Construction Co., was retained when it became apparent the village couldn't complete the work alone by the time PTI needed to move in.
"Nothing was hidden. Our village administrator called me and asked if I had any problem with using Pete (Granata)," the mayor said, adding council was kept apprised of the decision to hire an outside contractor.
He estimates the PTI payroll is sufficient to pay about $20,000 in annual income taxes to the village, which has a 1.5 percent income tax rate.
PTI's lease payments to the village will cover the costs of the loan and taxes the village incurred for the purchase of the property, he said.
"The village has another asset," the mayor said of the renovated building and property.
Kolanko doesn't question the need for economic development in the village but the process – including the absence of any competitive bidding for the construction work – has left him dismayed.
"I think it's important to retain business in the village but we should be very cognizant of what we're spending," he said.

Benjamin turns 3 yrs old today. Technically it already happened early this morning.
It used to be so easy to describe Benjamin. I could break it down into nice little categories: Speech, Motor Skills, Diet, Sleep.
Now he is an actual little person with a distinct and complicated personality. How do you sum it up in a post? I can't do it.
Benjamin's favorite thing in the world is to play. "Play with me" is a constant refrain in our household. But, he is still picky about who it is that answers that call. He wants his parents attention the most, especially his dad's. He will be stubborn and not want to play with other family members (aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc), especially if Dad or Mom is around. He is similarly protective of his home, he doesn't like new people coming into it too much, and doesn't tend to want to talk to them or let them play. It took two sessions of uncle and aunt M&K babysitting before he started to warm up for example.
He is typical 3 yr old in a of ways. He likes to make excuses not to go to sleep - he needs water, he needs a hug, he is hungry, he has a story he just has to tell us, his stuffed animals are not under his covers (This one is a sign he might finally actually go to sleep). He still likes us to sit with him. Luckily for him, I have started to find sitting up with him quite relaxing. I tell him I will stay as long as he tries to go to sleep, and he lays there and I sit in the rocking chair dozing or day dreaming with out a care in the world. Its a nice break from other demands (baby duties and cleaning etc).
Speaking of stories, Benjamin loves them. He likes to make them up, he likes us to tell them, he likes us to read books. His special interests are pirates and cars of course. He is very obsessed with Jake and the Neverland Pirates. Luckily, Jake is a pretty good role model. He is nice to people, helpful, inclusive, and eats yogurt with granola. LOL.
Benjamin is a very picky eater.. .also typical three year old. Mac&Cheese, pretty much anything made of pork (bacon, sausage, hot dogs, ham). Lots of carbs, apple sauce, berries. cereal. Yeah we are not the healthiest eaters. I guess everyone has their weaknesses. He drinks chocolate milk like its going out of style.
Benjamin like swim lessons, he likes gym time, he likes other kids and will make friends quick with anyone at the playground or mall or anywhere he is playing. He loves going to the mall and playing on the ride-on toys, and at the B&N trains table. He likes Target. Actually he has been known to say "Target, the Mall, Home, those are the places I like" (he might also refer to either or both G&Gs houses. He likes shoveling snow into his dump truck, or sand, he doesn't care which. He pretty much considers snow to just be sand that is everywhere. He has expressed interest in ice skating recently but we have not had a chance to take him. He can sing the entire U & M fight song. He can count to 14, and then gets a bit lost (eleventeen ends up in there somehow). He knows his alphabet and is just starting to associate phoenetics with letters (very very just starting). He likes his friends at daycare and playing with them. He is proud of being a preschooler and doesnt want to be called baby or toddler. He is a great big brother, who is helpful when we ask him to be, and loves to give baby sister hugs and kisses.
He has very little interest in potty training, in general he is afraid or hestitant to try things he think are hard or he will fail at, even if he originally expresses a lot of interest. He likes the idea of new things
more than the actual new things. Therefore he takes a lot of ecnouragement when starting new things.
He is extremely inquisative and firmly in the "why" stage. He wants to know everything about the world around him, frequently more than we can explain in a way he understands. I love seeing when something "clicks" for him and seeing him connect the dots as he learns.
I am sure there are other things I want to say.. but this is what comes to mind right now!

Are you a member of ACA?
ACA = Armed Citizen Alliance
The Armed Citizen Alliance (ACA) provides an avenue for ordinary citizens to practice, train, and become familiar with the use of concealed carry handguns and other personal defense firearms in an organized recreational context that simulates real-world situations. It has two core missions.
The first mission is to provide our overall concealed-carry and personal defense community and industry with an organization and a program to which personal-defense firearms customers can turn as their "first-contact" point for practice and familiarization. The ACA enables the entire concealed-carry community to be pro-active on the issue of practice, preparation, and training.
The second, and equally important mission, is to offer an attractive and easily accessible program to "draw in" new and inexperienced purchasers of concealed-carry & personal defense firearms to gain them familiarization with their personal & home defense firearms while having fun doing it.
There are many other national and state organizations promoting concealed carry. These are primarily political organizations, aimed at advancing the cause of concealed carry legislation. The ACA is the first and only national membership organization designed to promote actual hands-on practice, training, and recreational shooting with concealed carry and personal defense firearms within a structured context.

There's a guy I know who works in an auto repair shop who wears the same outfit every day. Camouflage Tee-Shirt, camouflage jeans and camouflage boots. Every time I see him I tell him I can't see him cuz he's so well camouflaged. He laughs.
To the uninitiated, it may appear that my friend is dressing to be always prepared in case someone should drive up and shout "Hey, I need someone to go huntin' right NOW!" to which my friend would shout "I'm your MAN!" and the rubber would burn and the deer would tremble. In truth, it's merely an accepted alternative to what folks out west have worn for hundreds of years, namely: Denim Blue. Starting in St. Louis and all parts west of there, (heck, even up Nawth!) Blue Denim is the accepted casual statement. In the hot spot restaurants of Beverly Hills and Knob Hill Denim Blue is even acceptable evening wear.
In the South, Camouflage is not only an acceptable alternative to standard blue denim but also a statement of Suthun-hood (or is it Suthun-ness? ..hmmm. suthun-itude?) It's a way of stating who-you-are and where-you're-from in a single color scheme. It can be army camo, forest leaves camo and even the new desert camo. Camo is camo. Don't leave home without it.
But Suthuners use camouflage on anything, not just clothing. You can find just about anything in this design, from clothing and gear to tools, toys, decorations, purses, wallets, keychains, and even weddings. Let's enjoy a few of these.... (Yes, I know you can't see them, they're camouflaged!)
More weddings, and proms are going camouflage. Where are they holding these proms, Yosemite Park?
Camouflage Siding. What are they trying to accomplish? Keep the deer from seeing their home? I'm afraid someone will come along and run into the side of my house cuz they couldn't see it!
I have absolutely no clever retort to this one.
Lastly, I love this, but wonder what it is really camouflaging. If camouflage is to make something 'hidden' I think this one isn't doing what it needs to do.
If you find a pic of something unusual camouflaged, send it to me.

When any nation or culture becomes so steeped in immorality and evil that it can't tell right from wrong, it becomes jaded against all but the strongest of overtures of God's grace in speaking His truth to them. God always speaks, but His people sometimes get to a point where they don't even notice when He does. God loves His people too much to relegate them to the judgment they deserve without first giving them every opportunity to hear his message of hope in repentance- sometimes going so far as to condescending to call His own servants to tremendous acts of personal sacrifice and humiliation to ensure that His people hear the message preached. Proverbs speaks to us about wisdom crying out in the streets for anyone who will hear. How hard is it for God to get my attention? Am I listening to what He has to say?

A marching band, one of many, all played very well.
A Darts vehicle, decorated for the Festive Season. Darts is a wonderful service provided (at a price) to passengers who have mobility issues or other major problems with the health. They provide a very useful service and their drivers are courteous, kind and caring.
A float by the war amps, telling people to play safe.
This is one of the many floats which participated in this parade.
This waving gentleman, with his red jacket, santa hat, and red and blue striped umbrella added a bright note to the parade. He was part of the Waterfalls group who gave out information.
This decorated van is advertising Hamilton Waterfalls, as Hamilton is blessed with many beautiful waterfalls.
Today, the Santa Claus Parade was held in Downtown Hamilton, Ontario. Kitchener, Ontario also had a parade, but in the morning. Toronto, the capital city of Ontario, will hold their parade on Sunday afternoon tomorrow.
Here it began at 2 p.m. and ended a little before 4.

Originally written January 13
Ahh, London nightlife. Its pretty sweet.
This past weekend, I think I did all my girly-girl friends and relatives proud. I got a hot new style haircut (parted on the side, choppy bangs across forehead, kind of punk rock layers – I think he actually made my hair thinner, but that's cool) I wish I had taken a picture right off the bat – I think I tried, but I was rushing to get ready.
Random picture interjection: I am trying to take as many as I can whenever I go out and about, or even if its just a nice day. However, when I'm getting into the swing of things, I tend to forget about taking pictures and just want to enjoy the moments as they come. New Year's Resolution: Live in the moment, and be content with it. So, sorry for the lack of pictures, but you are all creative people, I think you can work it out.
Anywho, so I went after work on Friday to SoHo to get my hair cut. It was fantastic. This really nice Spanish guy did it, and when I came in and told him I needed something new, he totally got me. He took a nice long time to shampoo and condition my hair, gave me a killer neck rub, then sat me in the chair and made me feel really great about this new look. I gave him a tip (they don't really do that here, so he was hyped) and I got European cheek kisses and instructions to come back in 6 weeks for a bang trim. I went home, did the whole smokey eyed red lip thing, and headed off to Camden Town.
Camden is a really cool part of London. Its hip and goth and cool and chill all rolled together. You can see any type of people here, but the more outrageous the better. There are a lot of Goths, but also people that wear pearls with pink hair, or Doc Martins, or Chucks. The bars are all trying to show each other up with music and random drink combos (tho the smoothie/tonic/mixed drink I had was AMAZING). I was going to Camden to meet Jac to go to Hollie's birthday party at the Fifty Five Bar & Lounge. Hollie is the girl that we met in our first week who showed us around London. We got to the bar, and she was already Drunkie McDrunk, but had a lot of friends there. The bar was hot – the bartenders were showing off like they were in Coyote Ugly, the music was good, and there were a lot of interesting people. I ended up talking to this guy Scott for 20 minutes. He was from the States, but here for break from studying in Germany. I told him some good places to go. He was so sweet—before he and his friends left, he came over and gave me a hug. Too cute. We sat with Hollie's friends, had a few drinks; Chris showed up about a half hour after us, and we got to talk for a while while guys were hitting on Jac. It was a good time—I really like him, and it's nice that Jac found someone so great.
So we left early-ish, because we were all going out the next night as well. There is this club called KoKo; it is a nightclub in an old theater where they ripped all the seats out, and you just party everywhere. ButtonDown Disco was spinning, and they play all kinds of stuff, but specialize in British pop/indie rock. The plan was to meet up around 9ish, and get into the club before 10 so we wouldn't have to pay the cover charge. Saturday morning, I slept in, got up, and realized I have no idea what the hell to wear to a London nightclub. I then did the next shockingly girly thing, and took myself shopping.
They do a lot of huge sales here after Christmas, so I knew I had options. I decided to stick with Oxford Street. I knew it was going to be a zoo, which I hate, but I had to go to the Apple store to get new headphones anyway, and I knew there were at least 2 Evans (plus size fashion store) within a 15 minute walk of each other. To make a long story short, I found out that I kind of actually like shopping, but I think it had a lot to do because I was alone. I felt less pressure and was able to make decisions without worrying too much. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have a friend there to chat with, or give opinions, but it was nice to just go with my own flow. I ended up getting 2 different tops: one with pink sparkle straps, then it was off the shoulder with this ruffle sleeve thing, and a black top that was really loose and flowy, but came in a band around my hips and slits in the sleeves. I've sure you'll see pictures of both. I also got a cool long chunky necklace, a small black bag so I'm not loosing Bambi everywhere, and some hair clips. All and all, I was pretty stoked.
I went back to my place to get ready, and got a call from Nicole and Nathalie seeing if I wanted to come to their place for dinner before going to the club. It sounded great, so I stopped at Tesco to get a bottle of wine, and headed over. I ended up having to take the bus from Notting Hill, and for some reason I was the only one on it. I asked the driver if he was going to the stop I wanted, and he said yes. Then he starts driving like a maniac, skipping stops and all this, and always looking back at me and winking and smiling. I'm just sitting there with my headphones in, and waiting til I see my stop. About 15 minutes later, we cross the river. That is REALLY not good as the girls live in the same neighborhood as me. I went to ask the guy why he'd blown past my stop, and he said 'Oh! I thought you didn't get off because you wanted to stay on the bus with me *sleazy wink*'. Chya, got outta there right quick, I'm tellin' you. At this point, it was too late to go to dinner, so I took the tube and met up with Jac, her flatmates, and some friends of Chris's. We went to this pub across from the club for a few drinks before heading in. Luckily the que wasn't too long, nor was the coat check, so we were able to grab some drinks and go right into dance mode.

Not my fav. picture, but the only one I got of me all night--Jac is sadden by this
KoKo was amazing. It had good areas to sit and then to dance, and others just to hang out and watch everyone. I was really into the music, and it was great to just dance with a big group of people. Everyone looked London hot, and we were there until the club closed at 4am. Then it was off to the night bus, grabbed a bottle of water and some crispes at the Tesco, and home in bed right when the sun was thinking to come up. Definitely going to have to be done again.

175g digestive biscuits
85g butter, melted
397g can caramel (we used Carnation caramel)
1 tsp sea salt, plus extra to serve
300g plain chocolate (70% solids), broken into chunks
600ml tub double cream
25g icing sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1. Line the base of a deep, round 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin with a circle of baking parchment. Line the sides with one long strip that comes just above the sides of the tin – staple or paper clip where the strip overlaps to hold it in place.
2. Crush the biscuits in a plastic bag or bowl with the end of a rolling pin. Stir into the melted butter, then evenly press into the bottom of the tin. Chill for 10 mins.
3. Reserve 2 tbsp of the caramel. Stir the sea salt into the remainder and spoon into the centre of the biscuit base. Gently spread so the base is evenly covered but a visible 1-2cm border of biscuit remains around the edge. Chill for 20 mins while you make the chocolate layer.
4. Gently melt the chocolate in a large heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir 1 tbsp of the cream into the reserved caramel, then cover and chill until ready to decorate. Once the chocolate has melted, turn off the heat but leave the bowl where it is, and gradually stir in the remaining cream until you have a smooth, shiny, thick chocolate sauce. Sift in the icing sugar and stir in with the vanilla extract. Lift off the heat and let the mixture cool for 10 mins.
5. Ladle or pour the chocolate mixture around the edge of the torte first, so it fills the biscuit border, sealing the caramel in the centre. Then ladle or pour in the rest and gently shake to smooth the surface. Chill for at least 5 hrs or up to 24 hours until firm.
6. Remove the torte from the tin, then carefully peel off the strip of paper and transfer to a serving plate. Dot the chocolates on top. Spoon the reserved caramel-cream mixture into a small food or freezer bag. Snip off the tiniest tip of the corner to make a very small opening, then squiggle lines of caramel over the top. Chill until ready to serve. Scatter with a pinch or two of sea salt before serving, then thinly slice. Eat with a drizzle of single cream, if you like.
You'll notice I also left the chocolates off the top, I figured with two bars of chocolate, a whole tub of cream and a can of caramel, it really wouldn't need to chocs too!
I think it's fair to say, it went down pretty well.

SAN JOSE, CALIF. • Whatever it was, turning to goaltender Jake Allen or switching up the line combinations, it worked for the Blues in Game 4.
A club that had been dominated by San Jose in Games 2 and 3, shut out in both, woke up with a 6-3 win over the Sharks at SAP Center Saturday.
The best-of-seven series looked like it was on the verge of being busted wide open, but suddenly it's tied at two games apiece and headed back to St. Louis for Game 5 Monday.
There was some doubt back home about whether fans had seen the last of a team that looked capable of hoisting the Stanley Cup, but with their backs against the boards, they responded with their sixth road win of the playoffs in a game that had a must-win feel.
"There was (some doubt)?" Blues forward Alexander Steen asked. "We've dealt with this for a long time, it's nothing new to us. What's important is what we can control inside the boards and in this room. We faced a lot of ups and downs throughout the season. We had a good meeting yesterday and talked about the adjustments we want to make and came out and made them."
The Blues broke out with six goals, tripling their offensive output in the first three games of the series. They had two goals in each period Saturday, with Troy Brouwer and Kyle Brodziak accounting for two apiece and Jori Lehtera and Alex Pietrangelo adding the others in a game in which San Jose goalie Martin Jones was sent to the showers early.
But the story going into Game 4 was in the other net, where a controversial coaching move put Allen in the crease in place of Brian Elliott and seemed to get the Blues' attention. Allen finished with 31 saves Saturday, losing his shutout in the third period when the Sharks struck for all three of their goals.
"Great, he's very composed, poised, played great for us," Steen said. "Our goaltending has been so solid throughout the year. No difference here in the playoffs, they've been tremendous, both guys."
The Blues may or may not have a debate on their hands of whether to come back with Elliott — Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said he'd make that announcement Sunday. But that question will be put on hold as a more important availability issue surrounds the status of forwards David Backes and Robby Fabbri.
Backes took his final shift of the game late in the first period, then sat on the bench for approximately the final 45 minutes. There were two potential causes for him being kept out of the game: perhaps a head issue after contact with San Jose's Brent Burns just before the Blues' second goal, or a leg injury that might have occurred while losing an edge skating into the corner. Fabbri was moving slow after a hit from San Jose's Tommy Wingels and was held out of the end of the game.
"We'll let you know in a couple of days on both guys," Hitchcock said. "They should be good to go."
The Blues had a 2-0 lead when Backes took a seat, and it would grow to 4-0 before San Jose would get on the board on Joe Pavelski's third-period goal.

A Blues offense that had been blanked in back-to-back playoff games for the first time in franchise history snapped its scoring drought at 156:59 just seven minutes into the game on the first of Brouwer's two power-play goals. It ended a stretch of seven straight goals by the Sharks in the series and was the first in 63 shots against Jones, who had shutouts in three of his last four games.
"I thought we went back to our roots, what made us successful in the regular season and in playoffs," Brouwer said. "We were able to create chances from below the goal line rather than off the rush. Collectively and individually, guys really brought a great game tonight."
The Blues made adjustments for Game 4; just don't ask what they were.
"Yeah, our new plan," Steen said. "It's up to you guys to dissect it."
They worked.
Lehtera added to the Blues' lead midway through the first period. After Jones made a sensational save on Fabbri, Lehtera put the rebound back in for his third goal of the postseason.
The Blues blew a chance to add to the lead when they went on a five-on-three power play for 48 seconds early in the second period, but made up for it with a short-handed goal.
With San Jose on a power play later, a turnover by Joe Thornton led to Brodziak's fourth shorty of the season. He and teammate Jaden Schwartz went on a two-on-one after the turnover and Brodziak finished it off.
Brodziak then followed with his second goal in a span of 4:02 for a 4-0 lead with 9:49 remaining in the second period. This time he took a behind-the-net feed from linemate Dmitrij Jaskin and pumped it past Jones.
That was the end of the night for the Sharks' netminder, who was replaced by backup James Reimer.
There were five goals scored in the third period, as a game that the Blues led by four see-sawed back and forth as the teams traded goals, from 4-1 to 5-1 to 5-2 to 6-2 to 6-3.
Now the series will see-saw back to St. Louis for Game 5.
"This is a big step," Hitchcock said. "This is catching our game again. We came here to win a hockey game. We did it."

Does the vote for a person using an assumed name count?
Is there not a law dealing with this? WTF!
One Congressman has done this, Cornelius Alexander McGillicuddy IV who uses the alias of Connie Mack IV, (R-FL)
McGillicuddy was listed on the 14th district ballots as Connie Mack. A Certificate of Fictitious or Assumed Name can not be located for a Connie Mack. The web site for Congressman Mack does not mention Cornelius Alexander McGillicuddy IV. and his
This charade is abetted by his wife, Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack (R-CA) by her failure to use the McGillicuddy name.
I contend that, by using an assumed name, both parties are illegally seated in Congress and should be removed from office for fraud.

Hey all,
I wanted a nice setup to play back on PC, and to enjoy Elite: Dangerous in 21:9 1440p ;)
Here's the build I just did: I was aiming for a mATX SLI of 970s with a Corsair 350D, but all the Z97 boards were featuring card slots that were too close, and my 970s were touching each other.
I looked around, and found out that the NZXT S340 was almost as small as the 350D, by giving up on the usual (and useless for me) drive bays. So I blessed NZXT and switched by to usual ATX, and now my 970s can breath =)
Props to Amazon Prime, I bought almost everything I could there as the return is so easy and convenient. As soon as I wanted to replace my mATX stuff with ATX, they just sent me the replacement parts right away. Same for the screen, which arrived broken.
Also the LG 34UC97-S screen is great as it acts as a KVM: The screen makes it easy to keep the same keyboard/mouse/headphones with both a mac and a PC by switching between Thunderbolt and DisplayPort/USB inputs.
Update: I refined the build: upgraded my SLI to 2 980 TIs, replaced my keyboard and mouse by SteelSeries, and added a 1TB SSD.

Story highlights
- The Great Clock at London's Houses of Parliament is in urgent need of major repairs
- Lawmakers fear Big Ben's famous "bongs" may fall silent if the timepiece is not refurbished
- The clock began keeping time in 1859; it has been shut down for repairs several times
London (CNN)The bongs of Big Ben have echoed across London for more than 150 years, thrilling tourists who throng the pavements below, jostling to have their photographs taken alongside the iconic monument.
But the days of setting your watch by the Great Clock could be in jeopardy: the timepiece atop the Houses of Parliament's Elizabeth Tower is badly in need of repair.
And British lawmakers have warned the clock may stop altogether if it is not refurbished -- at a cost of $45 million (£29 million) -- in works that would see it shut down for four months.
Big Ben is the name of the bell inside the tower (St. Stephen's Tower, renamed Elizabeth Tower in 2012), and not the building or the clock (simply known as the Great Clock) itself.
According to a parliamentary report seen by both the Mail on Sunday and Sunday Times newspapers: "The clock currently has chronic problems with the bearings behind the hands and the pendulum.
"Either could become acute at any time, causing the clock to stop -- or worse." One source told the Mail on Sunday they believe "or worse" means that the clock's heavy hands could fall off.
Each of the timepiece's four 9ft long (2.7 meter) hour hands are made of gunmetal, and weigh in at 660 pounds (300kg) each. The minute hands, made of copper and almost 14ft long (4.2 meter), are lighter, weighing 220lb (100kg) each.
In its plea for emergency funding for the repairs, the report is understood to have claimed the clock is a "symbol of democracy" and warned that a breakdown would cause "international reputational damage."
Speaking to CNN, a parliamentary spokesman refused to go into detail about the repairs needed -- or how much they would cost.
"A feasibility study and survey work has been carried out on the Elizabeth Tower in order to understand in detail the condition of the building fabric, the clock mechanism, and the building services," he said.
"Committees of both Houses are currently considering the study and will provide advice [on] how best to proceed. No decisions on works, timescales or costs have been agreed."
The clock first began keeping time in 1859, but Big Ben's chimes fell silent three months later when the bell cracked; four years later the bell was turned to allow it to ring out once more.

Have you ever been to Sedona, Arizona?
Beautiful. Breathtaking. Inspiring. (Busy during Spring Break.)After working at SSE for 5 years, they sent me on a vacation of my choice. Plane tickets were expensive & being under the age of 25 (barely) made renting a car expensive as well. So we knew we wanted to go somewhere we would be able to drive. Our honeymoon was spent in Sedona & we really enjoyed it, so we decided to go back. We stayed at a resort that had about 50 private cabins & ours had a hot tub on the back porch.
I miss it already. Another perk was the following design folded into everything that it possibly could be folded into (example: paper towels, towels, toilet paper, more towels). I've never seen this design before, it looks tricky & time consuming.We spent a lot of time in the hot tub, slept in late, watched t.v. & movies, went on a hike in the lovely red rocks,
ate too much (not here, I just saw this sign & thought it was awesome there's a place called La Fonda),enjoyed the perfectly chilly weather, ate some amazingly smooth fudge, drove around enjoying the scenery, drove around trying to find a parking space, & soaked it up some more in the hot tub with my soul mate.

At Aeon, Max Harris urges us to adopt, as an alternative to the commonly practiced politics of fear, a "radical politics of love":
Love should, in my view, be a virtue in, and an end-goal of, politics: this is what I mean by a 'politics of love'. Put another way, the capacity to practise love – to direct a deep sense of warmth towards another – should be a character trait that is valued in politics. We should admire and encourage those who are motivated by love in their political practice (rather than being motivated by the 'power and domination' to which hooks refers), and who express love through political action. We should then also come to see the securing of love as a fundamental aim of what is done in politics.
The main purpose of a general politics of love is to make love a lodestar – a starting point or standard – in political discussions. A general politics of love connects politics to everyday felt experiences. It reminds us that the personal is political [and] it steers us away from individualism and self-interest...It takes us in the direction of an other-regarding politics: a politics of other people.
At Chronicles, Daniel McCarthy says we have only ourselves to blame if we're living in a dystopia:
Progressive ideology and the administrative state have tempted, cajoled, and outright coerced Americans into submitting to behavioral correction in many respects. Yet much of the 21st century's dystopian assault on the human spirit has come from the choices that individuals freely make. No one is forced to buy a "smart" television that observes its viewers or an Amazon Echo, which responds to voice commands by listening to every word you say. Consumers instead surrender their privacy for the sake of convenience, much as travelers surrender their dignity for the sake of security—or an illusion thereof—as they consent to be stripped down by millimeter-wave scanners and groped by TSA officials. In the dystopias of Zamya tin, Huxley, and Orwell, all-powerful states employed overwhelming coercion to transform human nature. In the United States today, human nature is what makes our dehumanization possible: When the higher self is deprived of the habits and social contexts on which it depends, the lower self subsumes it. Utopian leftists in the past sought to destroy the old ways of society in order to build a perfect new order: They gladly used violence to achieve the first step, though no amount of force proved sufficient to realize the ultimate goal. Today the progressive, technocratic spirit wields force only sparingly: It is enough to weaken old institutions and habits, rather than destroy them, and then let human weakness forge its own chains. The patient will seek help willingly.
Of course, if you don't think we're living in a dystopia, then McCarthy's claims about "utopian leftists" and about "the progressive, technocratic spirit" will seem overblown, if not hyperbolic. In other words, your mileage on this essay will vary.
Also at Chronicles, Donald Devine acknowledges, but resists, Alan Carlson's claim that capitalism is "the enemy of the family":
Dr. Carlson's case for the development and decline of the family and civilization is well-argued and quite convincing. His argument that capitalism was the cause for that decline is another matter.
"Simply put, capitalism—at the most basic level—has a vested interest in family weakness," he argues. Traditionally, and well into America's founding period, autonomous, self-sufficient families and communities were considered the ideal and necessary foundation for civilization: culturally, educationally and economically. This was indeed a view espoused notably by Thomas Jefferson. "Capitalism, however, grows as it takes over tasks and functions once performed by families or within closely knit communities, and reorganizes them on the industrial model." Capitalism's takeover begins with yarn, then clothing, food processing and transportation, and finally almost everything, supported in its efforts by the state, which takes over culture through mandatory schooling and child-welfare regulation.
Capitalism's need for efficient, low-paying, and universal labor, Carlson charges, is undercut by marriage, which keeps women and children at the hearth rather than the factory. Capitalist consumption is increased by divorce and the resulting two households with more furnishings. Capitalists likewise support feminism, LGBTQ rights, and free trade to increase labor supply and lower wage costs. Family-held and private companies are more positive toward traditional families, but even their tendency over time is to capitulate to the power of market rationalization.
Devine's response is that Carlson has confused true capitalism—free markets and small, independent entrepreneurs—with what is commonly called "crony capitalism" in which large companies team with government to restrict competition. One problem with that response is that crony capitalism is the inevitable outcome of capitalism itself; the only way to prevent it is through government regulations that prevent corporations from acquiring inordinate power (power which they use in turn to capture the regulating agencies). You would have to impose "too big to fail" restrictions, not just on banks and other financial institutions, but on retail giants like Walmart as well.
The larger problem with Devine's defense of capitalism is that it ignores the impacts of (a) the spirit of acquisitiveness and (b) the ascendancy of individualism, both of which go hand in hand with capitalism ("crony"-style or otherwise) and both of which undermine traditional social structures, including the family. Mr. Devine will have to work harder to convince us that the baleful consequences of capitalism are somehow separable from the thing itself.
Finally, at The Baffler, J.M. Bernays gleefully mocks liberals for their obsession with Russian interference in our election. Bernays acknowledges that "it is perfectly possible that some collusion between Trump's agents and Russian hackers did indeed occur." But that trifling detail, insists Bernays, is beside the point:
The empirical question of whether or not it happened is secondary to the deeper psychological need for media pundits, policy wonks, and the professional-managerial strata to maintain their sense of self when the objective historical conditions in which they flourished are being actively dissolved. For liberals, the continued libidinal investment in the drama of the as-yet invisible Trump-Russia scandal actively blocks any realization that the neoliberal order they are trying to restore is already dead on its feet, and that Trump is the uniquely bizarre American expression of a visible worldwide trend: the virulent, deepening nationalist backlash against a financially-integrated global economy based on the relatively free movement of commodities and people. His ascent is a death knell for an entire era and the basic assumptions about economic and political life that shape the worldview of contemporary liberals.
Bernays is no fan of Trump; rather, he is making the left-wing case for the bankruptcy of liberalism, which he is certain is going to be replaced by a socialist alternative just as soon as we get through this interregnum of Right-Populism. I don't know if Bernays is correct or not, but I do know that his schadenfreude is more than a little unseemly; if Trump does even half as bad a job as some of us fear, it won't only be liberals who suffer the consequences.

Super-Gathering time is here, SuperBowl Sunday! Super Dooper! But, sorry to be the wet blanket here, starting next week without the NFL--the number one name in Sunday afternoon gatherings--what will people do?
Actually we gather together alot, and in the name of many different things don't we? I was nearly called to a gathering for a funeral in the name of a relative of mine (fortunately he survived the heart attack). We attend:
-business gatherings in the name of our company or -holiday gatherings in the name of our family. -political gatherings in the name of a party or idealogy;-religious gatherings in the name of a deity or theology-school gatherings, -sports gatherings, -club gatherings, -party gatherings, -birth & death gatherings. Life is one non stop activity of gathering, don't you agree?
Most of the time we don't think about it, but what are the benefits of gathering in a name? Here are a few. "In the Name of:"
- Claims our attention.
- Forges our focus.
- Stirs our passions.
- Shapes our values.
- Inspires our creativity.
- Earns our loyalty.
- Unites our hearts.
- Garners our strength.
- Utilizes our labor.
- Authenticates our accomplishments!
What is the most important difference in gathering in the Name of Jesus?
Unlike any other name, He alone has the essential claim on our obedience! It is through obedience to him that we climb the pinnacle of our humanity! Bob Dylan wrote a song, years ago, titled: "Got To Serve Somebody." He recognized that we all bow down to some name and consequently the character and quality of the name we serve shapes the character and quality of our own lives.
George MacDonald puts it this way:
"There is but one plan of salvation, and that is to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ; that is, to take him for what he is—our master, and his words as if he meant them, which assuredly he did. To do his words is to enter into vital relation with him, to obey him is the only way to be one with him. The relation between him and us is an absolute one; it can nohow begin to live but in obedience: it is obedience....Tell me something that you have done, are doing, or are trying to do because he told you.
What have you done this day because it was the will of Christ?
- Have you dismissed, once dismissed, an anxious thought for the morrow?
- Have you ministered to any needy soul or body, and kept your right hand from knowing what your left hand did?
- Have you begun to leave all and follow him?
- Did you set yourself to judge righteous judgment?
- Are you being mindful of covetousness?
- Have you forgiven your enemy?
- Are you seeking the kingdom of God and his righteousness before all other things?
- Are you hungering and thirsting after righteousness?
An even more important difference is the promise of His presence in His gatherings!
- Have you given to some one that asked of you?
"Well do I know it is faith that saves us—but not faith in any work of God—it is faith in God himself. If I did not believe God as good as the tenderest human heart, the fairest, the purest, the most unselfish human heart could imagine him, yea, an infinitude better, higher than we as the heavens are higher than the earth—believe it, not as a proposition, or even as a thing I was convinced of, but with the responsive condition and being of my whole nature; if I did not feel every fibre of heart and brain and body safe with him because he is the Father who made me that I am—I would not be saved, for this faith is salvation; it is God and the man one. God and man together, the vital energy flowing unchecked from the creator into his creature—that is the salvation of the creature. But the poorest faith in the living God, the God revealed in Christ Jesus, if it be vital, true, that is obedient, is the beginning of the way to know him, and to know him is eternal life."
George MacDonald, Unspoken Sermons II, The Truth in Jesus
While you're waiting for the NFL to start up again next fall, in the meantime why not find two or three others who'll gather with you in the name of Jesus and begin to explore what faith in Him can mean for you from this day forward?
Crazy outfits not required!

Sewing Pottery II
I have made a second pot using strips of fabric wrapped around clothesline. I learned this technique in the book, Sewing Pottery by Machine. I have discovered two things.
1. These are not terribly difficult, but they are terribly time consuming.
2. Because of 1., I wont be making any more of these anytime soon.
The basket I chose to make has three pieces.
The way you make these baskets with a hole in the top is to use a flat disc the size of the hole you need. In this case it is a 2 inch disc, the one in blue.
There is a bit of fiddling to make sure the opening of the bottom piece matches exactly to the opening of the middle piece.
Then you use a seam ripper to remove the flat disc. I needed two flat discs for this project, so after I removed the one from the middle piece, I used it for the top piece.
That is the quickest part and still took parts of two days.
Then the time consuming, finger poking began. Basically it involves sticking your thumb and forefinger inside the hole on the top while holding a threaded needle. A very long and sharp needle. I had to poke it through many times to find the exact spot to stitch. It needed to look as much like the machine stitching on the rest of the basket as I could manage. Then I poked it back through the project, a much easier thing, because now I could see what I was doing, right?
Well, the stitch placement was easier, but the reaching in to get the needle provoked many words followed by exclamation points. We'll stick with ouch!, shall we?
The top piece was sewn on much quicker, but still took close to an hour.
At some future date I may add some embellishments around this pot, but that will have to wait. I have spent DAYS on these sewn pots and while I like them, I need to get back to making fabric baskets to sell.
I already have a commission to make a couple for my cousin. She wants them large enough to hold a ball of yarn and with a loop to pull the yarn through so it won't get tangled. That seems like a fun and worthy project!
I still need to finish my Etsy site and start posting baskets, but I just want to make one of the baskets for Saja and see how that goes. I'll keep you posted.

Consequently, I was very unenthusiastic about Rob Bells latest.
However, A good friend perked my ears to it.
By chance, today my roommate set it down on the coffee table after swinging by Borders.
So here I am, sitting on my couch reading - Jesus Wants to Save Christians.
I am less then a chapter into the book and I can tell you this book is the climatic break though to years of struggles and frustrations for me. I have been eagerly taking on challenges from competing world views at Portland State University. This has been the catalyst of much personal growth in my faith. But tonight, puzzle pieces are being placed in order. So many questions being answered and so much knowledge being laid in order. Some of you who know me better, this is my "Surprised by Hope" for 2009!
I have also been working on a couple blog posts of real substance. I know I have been diluting you with youtube videos recently. My blogging quality directly correlates with my level of excitement in life.
It has been an exciting fall for me.
So much growth in so many areas of my life! Thanks for hanging in there and reading my blog. :P

Album Of The Decade: The Sixties
So, the 60s. There was the Beatles, of course, who made some classic albums. The Doors, of course, who made some classic albums. And my personal secret band, Spirit, who also made some classic albums.
But the best white male rock album of the 60s just has to be Pink Floyd's The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn.
When I first met Betty I was unaware of the Floyd's early work. When she said she liked the band I imagined going to the Dominion Theatre to see a musical based on The Wall written by somebody extremely unlikely like, say, Ben Elton. Of course I was aware that Roger Waters was largely responsible for the downfall of communism in Eastern Europe. But he wasn't winning me over with his emotional blackmail.
But Betty played me The Piper and I understood everything. Man, what a trip! The Beatles' Penny Lane takes me back to my little comfortable 60s but this album takes me to the sixties. A 60s where middle class white kids were turned on, tuned in and dropped off at psychedelic gigs by their dads. It's a solid gold classic, mate.
What is your favourite white male rock album of the 60s? Pray tell.
14 comments:
It's Beatles for Sale, which is the record I grew up with.ReplyDelete
Their Satanic Majesties.ReplyDelete
But only if I can save Hot Rats until the 70s. I think it was released in 1969, but I didn't hear it until the next year.
Just in at the end of the 60's but white Rock au supreme, my nomination is:ReplyDelete
Let it Bleed - The Rolling Stones
Still fresh and fruity with icing by Delia Smith!
Mind you, my ALBUM of the decade without this male group stipulation would be a tie between:
Pet Sounds - Beach Boys
Songs to a Seagull - Joni Mitchell
The Paul Simon Songbook
Blonde on Blonde - R. Zimmerman
Bringing it all on Home - ditto
Bob - Like Donny mixed with Marie, you're a little bit country and you're a little bit rock 'n' roll.ReplyDelete
Vicus - I think you need more drugs to listen to Satanic Majesties than The Piper. I have never heard Hot Rats for which you and MJ will lambast me, I'm sure.
Malc - You can take the man out of the West Midlands...
Rol - All the best artists were sober in the 60s, weren't they?
Rog - I'm not keen on any Stones albums as a whole except, contraversially, for Some Girls. They were a great singles band, though. Dylan's albums of the 60s are great.
Small Boo's trying to persuade me of the charms of The Idle Race, Jeff Lynne's band before he joined the move. But Piper (+ Pet Sounds, BoB, White Album, White Light White Heat, Trout Mask Replica, half a dozen Tamla/Stax/ska comps) does me fine.ReplyDelete
I loved the transition of the last half of the 60s from the Pop to Rock...the weirder and heavier the better.ReplyDelete
It was Nature's way of telling me the best is yet to come.
I still listen to all that music because those were my gateway bands.
Aside from the Zep & Zappa I would add Let It Bleed...Monkey Man is still my favorite Stones song.

Case Study-2, Challenging questions
Dr Jones and Dr Smith are researchers based in the same department at a UK university. They have been working on a joint research project for several years, publishing a number of articles on their work in peer reviewed journals. The two researchers are now producing a book about their research. The research was conducted under the auspices of their university.
The final manuscript was submitted to the publishers a while ago and Dr Jones contacts the firm for an update. He is surprised and very upset when the publishers tell him that the book is to be published with Dr Smith as the sole author. Dr Jones is informed that his role in both the research and the book itself will be acknowledged in the list of contributors to the project, nothing more. The publishers' decision is based on information supplied by Dr Smith.
As far as Dr Jones is concerned, he wrote the book with Dr Smith and should also be credited as an author of the work. Indeed, he is convinced that he and Dr Smith had previously agreed that the book was a joint work and that they would each receive co-authorship. He does not remember having any written record of this agreement or of any discussions regarding authorship.
Dr Jones speaks to Dr Smith in an attempt to reach some sort of agreement on the matter but the position remains unchanged. He then tries speaking to the publishers of the book. They say that they have received reassurances from Dr Smith which they accept and they have no plans to change the attribution of authorship.
Prior to this dispute, Dr Jones believed that he had a good working relationship with Dr Smith. As well as wanting to resolve the issue of authorship, he is also concerned how his career may be affected by the dispute with Dr Smith.
Please pick up two questions and submit your response
– What could Dr Jones do?
– What 'evidence' or other information might shed some light on the matter?
– How might the situation be resolved?
– Could anything have been done to prevent this situation from occurring in the first place?

Devil on Your Back is Now Available!
Amazon: http://hyperurl.co/niti5q
iBooks: http://goo.gl/XHuz2x
SYNOPSISWhen all you have left is choice, how do you ensure you make the right one? I thought that losing my family was the linchpin to my suffering; the thing which would forever hold my head under the dark waters of regret. But I was wrong … so wrong. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, and what threatens us only serves to feed the beast. My boy is in trouble, and it's time this father stood up for what he should have a long time ago. Only, after years of believing I deserved to spend my days alone, punishing myself for the mistakes I made, I've finally found the truth—her. When she needs me as much as my son, how will I decide which path to take? Will I be doomed to forever make the wrong choice? And will I, once again, lose everything I love and drown in my regret?
What a PHENOMENAL web that Max Henry weaves. This is the story of Vince who we met in The Devil You Know, who's son is Malice and is a member of the Butcher Boys. What we learned about Vince through Malice is that when he lost his wife his world crumbled. In Devil On Your Back we see how Vince coped with the loss of his wife and son from his perspective. We also see him find love again with Sonya who also survived the tragic lost of her husband. Vince found an unlikely hero in King who is the president of an MC and sees the pain that Vince is trying to hide so he gives him a second opportunity to get his life together. Along the way he finds out that is son is mixed up in something that can cost him his life so he reaches out to him to mend fences and also to protect him. We meet some SPECTACULAR characters from the MC and catch up with the Butcher Boys while also being set up for the next installment of this EXPLOSIVE series. The DEVIL ON YOUR BACK is a gripping, suspenseful, passionate, and undeniably emotional read. It has action and suspense, beauty and grit. A for sure page-turner that will captivate you the whole way through. I for one can't wait for the next tale from Max Henry.

My sister hid MY SOUL TO STEAL the moment it was delivered to the house and I had to be very patient while she read it and then passed the book along to me. All she would say is that it was the best in the series and if I didn't watch it she would ruin it for me-I behaved so I could enjoy MY SOUL TO STEAL without any spoilers and I'm going to do my best not to spoil it for anyone else.
From the moment I read the first page I couldn't put it down, reading MSTS became a constant need to see what was happening in the life of Kaylee and Nash while secretly hoping that they would be able to get past what happened at the end of MY SOUL TO KEEP.
I knew from reading the blurb at the back of the book that I was heading for one surprise straight after another but when Sabine entered the picture my hair stood on end-not only because Kaylee didn't get along with her but because she seemed off to me, like she had something else on her agenda which confessed to but still couldn't shake the feeling.
I love how Rachel shows us that its hard for Kaylee to trust Nash again after what he had allowed to happen and what he himself had done to her but it didn't stop her from questioning her love for him. Kaylee points something else out to us that trust for her seems to an evasive term because everyone that said they loved her have pretty much lied to her so in the end whom can she trust? Is trust actually possible from the people she loves? Its a valid question and its brought up again at the end of the book so it will be pretty interesting to see how it pans out in IF I DIE.
We also get tiny snippets of what Nash is going through with his recovery ad how easy it would be for him to go back onto Demon's Breath because its easy for him in a way to gain access to the Netherworld. We also see how this once popular guy has become a recluse and how he is struggling to deal with the loss of both Doug and Scott which also adds to his sudden loner appearance.
Sabine is a very interesting character whom has her own baggage along with an agenda that seems to work in some ways but in others not so much. She's very strong and that I think comes from her background. She has a history with Nash and it's very different to Kaylee and Nash's. Tod points out how they are two halves of a whole (at that point I wanted to strangle him), both are screwed up but they good for each other. I saw that but the connection was different than before.
Sabine made a pretty valid point in one of Kaylee and her cat fights: "He sold all his memories of you but not one of mine" now that does make me think could she be on a valid point or maybe as my sister pointed out Avari only wants Kaylee not Sabine.
If I go any deeper I will ruin MY SOUL TO STEAL for you guys and I can't do that, so I'm going to sign off here and let you guys enjoy the book without any further spoils.
Happy Reading :)

My dear, you know this one is for you. One day you will search my blog and read my posts. I know this will happen only when you realize you missed me just so much and you stopped hearing from me. I wish you missed me while I'm still there, so I can wipe your tears, hold you warmly in my arms and say "It's okay my dear, it's okay, I'm here for you". I wish I stay longer, but how to stay when you don't want me to. Everyday before I take that hardest decision which is to walk away, I pray hard, I pray that you will put some efforts to make me stay or at least make me want to stay, but obviously you don't want to stay anymore. I hope the time you read this, you will realize what you've just lost. No matter what I really hope you will be happy with the life you choose. Just live well. I'm might not be there anymore, but my prayers and the memories about me will always be with you.

3 lbs. lean beef chuck roast (chili grind)
5-6 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons cumin
1 tablespoon Mexican oregano
2 15-oz. cans beef broth
1 12-oz. water
1 10-oz. can Rotel tomatoes
1 Large purple onion, chopped fine
1 16-oz. can Hunt's tomato sauce
1 beef bouillon cube
3-4 pieces of Hickory-smoked type thin bacon, cooked crisp, reserve grease
After cooking bacon slices in your Dutch oven, remove bacon and set aside. On high heat, add chopped purple onion and cook until soft in bacon grease. Add beef chuck roast (chili grind) and brown thoroughly. Add the bacon, crumbled into fine pieces, into the mixture. Mix all dry ingredients together and add, then immediately follow with the remaining canned items and the water. Bring to a low- medium boil, uncovered, and cook for 1 ½ hours, stirring frequently.
Add 2-3 tbsp. corn starch mixed with water to thicken. Cook this mixture until it reaches desired thickness. Add additional water if needed while cooking. Taste, then re-season with salt, black pepper and addition cayenne for more heat, if needed, until your eyes start to twitch or tear up.
This is best when prepared the day before, refrigerated overnight, and then brought back to piping hot right before serving. Serve with warm basket corn Tortillas chips. Garnish graded Cheddar and chopped fresh cilantro.

My editor, namely my wife of 62 years, recently said to me, "I'm getting tired of reading about Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular problems, cancer and other dreadful ailments. Why don't you, for one week, give us a break from depressing diseases? I'm sure readers would like to learn how to protect skin during the coming winter season."
One thing I've learned over the years is you never say no to an editor, particularly one who is your wife! So I interviewed experts about winterizing your skin so it doesn't look like dried prune. And are natural remedies available?
Rule # Two: Do I always practice what I preach? Yes, I try to follow a sound lifestyle, having reached my 94th year! But I do cheat on one rule. In winter, I love a long, hot, morning shower. Not a good idea. It causes dry, itchy, skin. So, take short baths and showers in cold weather with warm, not hot water.
Rule # Three: Dermatologists advise against the use of strong soaps that strip oil from skin, leaving it dry. They suggest mild soaps or detergent substitutes which contain added oils and fats. For instance, Dove, Purpose, Cliniderm and Cetaphil.
Rule # Four: Several specialists I interviewed advised against soap additives, such as perfumes and dyes which can irritate skin and may cause allergic reaction. When wearing makeup, use a soft sponge or cotton balls to remove it. And for heavy waterproof makeup you need oil based products. Finally, they say, be sure to pat skin dry with a soft towel. All this sounds very time-consuming to me. Possibly this is why more men end up with prune faces than women!
Rule # Five: Today, in large cities, the buzz word for prime real estate is location, location, location. The prime secret for healthy skin is moisture, moisture, moisture, to prevent winter itch and dry skin. Overheated homes, fireplaces, carpets and furniture all suck moisture out of the air. One study showed that the average home in winter is as dry as the Sahara Desert!
Dr. Suzanne Gagnon is a prominent Montreal dermatologist. Since I'm an advocate of natural remedies I asked her if she recommends a natural one to moisturize skin. She responded two, Reversa, a body lotion, and Reversa Skin Resurfacing face cream. They both contain glycolic acid, a natural derivative of sugar cane. The lotion not only moisturizes skin, but also improves the top layer by locking in moisture to smooth and soften it. Glycolic acid also treats common little bumps on skin known as "chicken skin". Dr. Gagnon reminds patients that all parts of the body need moisture, but for maximum effect, Reversa lotion should be applied to where the top layer is especially thick, like elbows, knees and feet. After all, she points out, soft feet don't tear nylons!
I hope deviation from human illness this week pleases my editor and readers. I have never been an advocate of radical skin treatment such as plastic surgery or Botox injections. Rather, I believe it makes more sense to treat skin with TLC (tender loving care) over a lifetime. This means moisture, moisture, moisture.
