Repurpose Is A Verb……
There is a point in many people's lives when we feel a yearning to break free of what has always been the norm.
The feeling that there is something which stands out, above all else in our life and we must discover what it is!
The word Repurpose kept appearing in my mental eyesight and something kept urging the meaning to come forth…..
Have you ever felt this way?
Why This, What Now and Repurpose What?
On a Wednesday evening in early November 2009, I was working with Wells Fargo as a loan document specialist.
I was working late that night on multiple files when I got the call……
"Pack up your personal things; leave everything else on your desk and leave the building immediately!", was what I heard from my AccountTemps representative as I held the phone receiver to my ear.
Even though I remember those words being said to me, the words that started floating in my head were….."well, I guess this means you're unworthy….what did I do wrong?……can I beg for my position back?……what in the hell am I going to do now!…."
The flood of emotions was intense.
The self-limiting voices of my own upbringing started to cloud the space in my head reserved for problem solving.
I was searching for a viable answer.
One thought became crystal clear, though – I am done with Corporate America!
Barb's critical thinking hit the same screeching spot as she was laid off just 2 days prior to my layoff!
Almost simultaneously, Barb and I, had the same word – repurpose – appear in our mind's eye and its meaning to us became our dominant thought…………….
Our decision to repurpose our life meant choosing it as a verb…….to take action and not let the rest of our lives be wasted by lapsing into mediocrity.
So, here we were staring at our life and wondering what we were going to do next……
Personal Repurpose As The Foundation
Have you noticed what the growing trend is, not only in the US, but in the world?
People are repurposing, recycling, reusing, and reclaiming everywhere and almost everything!
It's a fascinating shift in how we look at things and their importance in our daily life.
Barb and I felt the repurpose shift within us had to begin with "who we are" – what is our purpose; our mission; our legacy?
As you can imagine, the answers to those important questions didn't come with a guide book or a neatly prepared step by step plan to put into action.
And, as this self questioning process ensued, we plowed through our savings and our "retirement" accounts and found ourselves in quite a pickle.
Still, the gnawing inside of us to take a different path……to discover more of what we have as talents and skills and to forge a new life that painted the picture of what we are truly passionate about……continued with more intensity.
Nothing seemed more important than the awareness that our true potential is endless in scope and infinitely more creative.
We truly came to believe we are unstoppable.
Now we know that age, education, nor status in society, can deter the strength of our energy when we are focused on achieving what we point our attention to consistently.
We decided to reclaim our "birthright"…..
What we ALL have the right to claim is Abundance!
As we increased our awareness of our true spirit nature and started the discipline of daily meditation, we have experienced a tremendous flow of abundant activity.
It is in this consistent flow of energy that we are "repurposing" our life and it permeates everything we pursue.
We are the Repurposed Renditions of ourselves!
Repurpose and Re-invent!
A few years before our "re-awakening", I was a woodworking hobbyist.
Many of my early works were started as a request from friends or family who would ask me to build them something.
Sometimes, if I had no requests, I would start creating something unique just to have a project to work on!
It was (and still is!) extremely therapeutic and relaxing………
For example, when my brother and sister-in-law commissioned me early last year to build a rustic 10 foot outdoor farm table for them (pictured at the beginning of this blog, where it sits today on their covered patio – overlooking the Blanco River in Wimberley, TX!) I enjoyed it so much and found that so many people felt my work commanded real and marketable value.
So, we decided to create Repurposed Renditions custom rustic furniture to give ya' our take on how you can repurpose your life into something with purpose and value.
Telling Our Story In Repurposed Furniture
Using furniture as the medium to tell our story made perfect sense!
Not only is it something I am passionate about but it is a perfect physical representation of repurposing our life!
Our#1 choice of material to "repurpose" is "reclaimed" aged lumber!
Salvaged from the turn of the twentieth century barns (and houses), this is lumber which once served as the dwelling for horses, ox, and other work animals.
In later years, it housed the family's hay, firewood, and family heirlooms.
It is wood infused with all the experiences of the people who used it to build the barn on their farm or their first home.
All the dings and dents, nail holes and cracks, discoloration and rough "live" edges speak of a life full of service!
(Below: the table's top just after joining the long boards and end cap boards together! Big isn't it?!)
Our Repurposed Business
Repurposed Renditions offers a wide variety of household and office furniture!
We create farm tables, parsons tables, coffee tables, end tables and nightstands, dressers, book shelves, consoles, etc. and just about any custom piece someone would like created for them! (See our photo gallery!)
We are so excited to merge our love for taking what used to be and creating something with function and beauty! Creating a "Gathering" place if you may….a place for new stories, new energies…swirling with the old wisdom inherent in every piece of lumber we use.
Giving a new purpose in the form of rustic furniture is so rewarding and has established a commitment to always be vigilant about our true personal repurpose and how we can share it with the world in every piece we create.
We wish you a life of repurpose and encourage you to reclaim your birthright……………
It is waiting for you!
Now, Go … Be The Extraordinary You!

'The Royals' Recap: Fashion Week Makes Everyone Crazy
It's fashion week in London, which means everyone is horny? Well, that's what Princess Eleanor thinks! So who's getting hot and heavy in a car and whose claws come out?
After Ophelia (Merritt Patterson) dumped Prince Liam (William Moseley) in episode two of The Royals, we weren't sure if he'd go running right back to Gemma (Sophie Colquhoun). Well, he decided instead to steer clear and do a little partying of his own.
'The Royals': Fashion Week Makes Eleanor & The Queen Fight
Prince Liam tried to distract himself from missing Ophelia by hooking up with random girls — and she was just trying to hide from paparazzi. Luckily, she had the help from Nick (Tom Ainsley), a cute guy from her school, who helped her to escape from the paps and got very flirty very fast.
So, Liam's sister took him out to help him chill out a bit, and escape from the king-to-be role for the night. However, when Gemma demanded to uh, get a little freaky with Liam while driving, she crasheed into a phone booth. Liam, like a gentleman, didn't want to just leave her there, but his security and Jasper wouldn't let him stay and get caught. Jasper (Tom Austen)'s best way to force him to leave was knock him out.
He lied to the King (Vincent Regan), saying he wasn't there, and on Eleanor (Alexandra Park)'s demand — did not rat our Jasper for punching him. Sure, Eleanor acted like she saved Jasper's job because she wants to fairly defeat him, but we know it's because she has feelings deep down. However, Liam's secret isn't completely safe — Cyrus (Jake Maskall) knows what happened with Liam and made sure Liam knows that he knows.
Mother V. Daughter
Meanwhile, Princess Eleanor was busy getting into her own trouble.
It wasn't only Jasper whose up against Eleanor — it was also her own mother, the Queen (Elizabeth Hurley). The princess decided to plan a lavish fashion show for fashion week — the same night as her mother's. Of course it wasn't be easy. The queen was ready to do anything to beat her daughter, and actually had Cyrus (Jake Maskall) blackmail his daughters in order to find out where the location of Eleanor's show was, and then she stole it from her.
Eleanor's shows got rave reviews — but while she thought she really did great, her mom broke it to her that she actually planted the stories because "when you succeed, the monarchy succeeds." So, basically, her mom let her win. Naturally, she was pissed. Enter Jasper, who took that moment to reveal his true identity to Eleanor — and tell her that the Queen was lying and the reviews about how amazing she is are true.
Can these two just be together already, PLEASE?

C4CN was founded in 2012 to work with local partners in Nepal to combat trafficking and assist vulnerable and disadvantaged children. Originally called Freedom Matters, in the last 5 years we have: worked with partners combatting trafficking and assisting those affected by it; delivered immediate earthquake relief and provided counselling and support to families and communities following its devastating effects. The change of name to Children4ChildrenNepal reflects our altered focus; we will be working with young people in the UK to support two distinct projects for young people in Nepal. We are a small, cost-effective NGO managed by the trustees.
Partner in Nepal
C4CN works in Nepal with a local partner, Right 4 Children, a Nepalese charity based in Pokhara working with the most vulnerable sections of society. We are helping to fund
two of their projects. For more information see: Right4Children
Mission Statement
C4CN works with local organisations in Nepal to provide improved education and training opportunities for underprivileged children, young people, families and communities thereby contributing to a safer environment which is free from child labour, abuse and trafficking.
Who We Are
To focus our funds on our projects we employ no UK based staff. Our board of trustees is as follows:
Mrs Jan Turner (Chairwoman)
Major Prem Ale
Mr Peter Hardy
Mr Tim Lewis

Racing 2014 | Barber, The Really Big Show
Barber Motorsports Park in October is the pinnacle of any classic motorcyclist's schedule and the highlight of the US vintage racing calendar, but in turn feels a little bittersweet, simply because it punctuates the end of each racing season. The event itself is huge, with 65,000 spectators visiting over the weekend, each year growing more and more. And just when you think it can't get bigger, it does. NYC Norton's representation has also expanded over the years and this year we had 11 bikes under the NYC Norton canopy. ... read more

Racing 2014 | New Jersey and Utah
For years our closest race on the AHRMA calendar was Grattan, MI, clocking in at 750 miles from NYC. So when the announcement came in last year that we would be racing in New Jersey we couldn't believe what we heard. The notion of being able to load up and get to a track in 2 hours (125 miles), spend a weekend chasing the racing jones, and make it home to our own beds by Sunday evening was such an alien concept. Because the track is centrally located to NYC, ... read more

Racing 2014 | The Midwest is not a city in China
Charging down Thunder Alley at Road America at top speed has to be one of the greatest experiences one can ever have on a motorcycle. Doing it on a revving British Single or Twin is even better. This 4.05 mile long course has everything for the bikes the NYC Norton team races – very fast sections, some wavy twisties, and tight little moments. It is without question a top-3 favorite track for all of us. We loaded up the Sprinter and began the drive to the land of cheese curds ... read more

Racing 2014 | California Dreaming
The American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association, or AHRMA, has lumped a lot of their racing weekends into back-to-back events. There are mixed feelings about this as 50% believe it's impossible to take that much time off from work, and the other 50% like the fact they can get more bang for their travel buck. For our East Coast-based racing operation, the back-to-backs weekends of Willow Springs and Sonoma Raceway in Southern and Northern California, respectively, made for easy planning and logistics.

Racing Update | Midwest Madness, 2013
For many years, we've been carrying our racing bikes to the track in a small but very efficient 1999 T4 Volkswagen Eurovan. It served us well and was absorbed into the NYC Norton business as a lithe big-city bike hauler. But the transmissions in these vans are notoriously fragile, and the need to carry more bikes and sometimes tow a trailer was upon us. After much laboring, bean-counting, talking to car dealers, accountants, and shrinks, the business took the plunge and we bought a new Sprinter to carry bikes - ... read more

For the smaller layout or budget conscious modeller the MiniPanel is a 12 channel mimic panel controller capable of driving a pair of LEDs per channel to indicate turnout or semaphore signal position. It is equally at home on both analogue and digital layouts and is operated via push buttons (default), toggle switches or levers.
Available as a standalone board or starter kit in servo, solenoid or stall/Kato motor varieties, the starter kits are complete with push buttons and LED pairs for all 12 channels. Hook-up to your layout is via a single cable carrying all 12 channels of information. The MiniPanel can also operate with our optional DCC accessory decoder.
If you require more than 12 channels or feedback consider the MultiPanel, the big brother to the MiniPanel.
Kato and stall motor driver
This little driver circuit board will operate up to six Kato or stall motors over a single network cable. It can be driven directly from a MultiPanel (our mimic panel driver) or directly from our DCC module. The unit intelligently shuts the power off after five seconds in stall motor mode and has five power settings in Kato mode. See our web shop for details.
Servo extension leads
We now stock servo extension leads in 50cm, 1 meter and 2 meter lengths. There's a plug one end and a socket at the other making installation a breeze. The cables can be connected together for even longer lengths. See here for details.

Keen to get going now?
Why not begin with a starter kit and some cable packs for instant plug-and-play control of 24 servos or traditional solenoid motors. No soldering is required to connect your panel lights and buttons, and only a single network cable (supplied) connects the servo or solenoid boards on the layout to your control panel.
Our starter kits don't just come with the mimic panel controllers, we also include the servo or solenoid drivers too. Just add the servos or solenoids and you're good to go.
Here are a couple of sample configurations. Click each to go direct to the product pages. Video tutorials are provided where appropriate on the product pages.
1 x Servo Edition Starter Kit … or …
1 x Solenoid Edition Starter Kit
Either make up your own cables or buy our ready made cable packs:
1 x 12 channel LED cable pack (2 LEDs per channel)
1 x 12 channel button cable pack
You can view our plug-and-play product range here. Mimic panel wiring right out of the box without any soldering!
Standalone and integrated
Many of our products can operate either on their own or integrated with other boards. By linking different components economies of wiring and new features become available to your model railway layout. Examples of integration include DCC modules linking to servo, solenoid, or relay controllers. Mimic panel display controllers that hook everything up and even provide a live track feedback (occupancy) display. Our integrated products communicate via a single cable that's capable of sending and receiving information as far as 2.5 kilometers with suitable extender boards.
Our range of layout sensors include block detection for both DC and DCC (analogue and digital) and turnout position sensing. Imagine someone flicking a turnout by hand and seeing the panel correctly and instantly display the change.
Expansion is simple and usually only requires plugging additional boards in as your needs require.
View our product range here.
Custom made control panels
Ever seen a fabulous model railway layout with a control panel that just looks like an afterthought? We've done all the hard work for you and can make bespoke control panels that are professionally cut, engraved, etched and coloured to your specific requirements.
We can even make the box for you to house it in with appropriate connector receptacles perfectly cut and marked. Our unique design means that the plastic durable fascia can easily be removed for cleaning should the unthinkable occur with a coffee cup.
Installation is a breeze and panels can be connected without resorting to a soldering iron – it's all plug and play and highly flexible too. For example each LED channel drives two LEDs so you have the option to indicate the routes set for each turnout – right out of the box! Our cable packs come ready made with all plugs, LEDs and buttons attached and ready to go. If you change your mind about layout specifics, it's easy to unplug a cable and move it to another location.
For the budget conscious we've kept the connector type big enough that you can make your own cables and wiring without resorting to expensive specialist tools. There is no lock-in as we use industry standard, modeller accessible connectors. Click here for more.

Berman will select six fantasies for a special edition of SportsWorld that will air May 25. Sorry, but the deadline to enter has passed.
The Evert fantasy (Evert won a tiebreaker 7-2) was taped last week at Amelia Island. The baseball broadcaster and football hopeful will get their wishes, too. The other winning fantasies are still being determined.
Berman and NBC producer David Hoffman have enough for several sequels.
One Purdue student wants her mother to go on a shopping spree with St. John`s basketball coach Lou Carnesecca for new sweaters.
A Los Angeles Dodgers fan -- a woman from Connecticut -- wants to be hit by a pitch from Bob Welch. (``I would then charge the mound -- not to seek revenge on Welch -- but to hug and thank him for the `love hit`. Sounds strange but that`s my fantasy.``)

I was going to say "the slow-cooker has become my best friend" since Freya made her entry into the world, but who am I kidding, I've been spoiled with so many friends and family bringing meals for us, that I've hardly cooked!(thank-you, thank-you, thank-you) I can say though, that the slow-cooker will BECOME my best friend. It is a great way to have something hot on the table when hungry Max arrives home, and, the joy of using the slow-cooker is that you can make dinner in those oh so glorious quiet moments between feeds and diaper changes.
Here is our slow-cooker Spicy Black Bean Soup Recipe. It is healthy, easy and delicious! Last night we served ours with quesadillas using our homemade tortilla recipe
2 cups dried blackbeans soaked overnight, or prepared using the quick-soak method. This should make 5-6 cups of "cooked beans". You can use canned beans if you prefer (approximately 4, 15 oz cans).
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 medium onions chopped
4 garlic cloves minced
1/4 jalapeno pepper minced (use more if you would like more heat)
1 tsp chipotle chilli powder (again increase this if you would like more heat. If you don't have chipotle chilli powder you can use regular chilli powder, however, the chipotle powder lends a delicious smokey taste to the soup).
4 tsp ground cumin
2 cups water
2 cups chicken broth
1 796ml/28 oz can chopped tomatos with liquid.
1 tsp lime zest (save juice for serving)
Salt to taste (approx 1 tsp if using low sodium broth)
Toppings – Optional but Recommended
Diced Avocado
Crumbled Feta or Shredded Cheddar cheese
Sour Cream or plain yoghurt
Chopped Cilantro
Chopped Jalapeno (if you really like spice)
Splash of lime juice.
1. Prepare beans. Beans can be prepared using the quick-soak or overnight method. For the overnight method cover the beans with water and place overnight (or for 8 hours at least) in the refrigerator. For the quick soak method, put 2 cups of beans in a saucepan and cover with water, leaving the lid off. Bring the beans to a boil and boil for two minutes, then take the pan off the heat. Cover, and allow the beans to stand for at least one hour (preferably 2). The beans may still be a bit hard, but in my experience after enough time in the slow-cooker they should be fine. Before using the beans, drain the soaking liquid and rinse and drain the beans. Alternatively, canned beans (drained and rinsed) (5-6 cups) can be used.
2. Once prepared, place beans in slow-cooker.
3. In medium, microwavable bowl, stir together vegetable oil, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin and chilli powder. Place in the microwave on high for 5 minutes stirring occasionally until onions are soft. Add to slow cooker. (This has a similar effect of blooming the spices and sauteing the onions/garlic however, is much quicker and takes less attention than the stove-top method).
4. Add remaining ingredients except salt (water, chicken broth, tomatos, lime zest) to slow cooker. (Using salt with the beans when cooking while prevent them from becoming tender).
5. Place slow-cooker on low for 9-11 hours, or high for 5-7.
6. When the cooking is complete, transfer in batches to a bowl/blender and puree the soup to a desired consistency. A potato masher or whisk also works in the case of your almost 2 year old busting your immersable blender.
7. Stir in salt to taste.
8. Top with favourite toppings, and enjoy.
(I am sorry I don't have a photo of the final product, but dinner last night became rather chaotic between Max deciding the food processor/kitchen aid is his new favourite toy and Freya wanting to be fed).

Long-time readers may recall Denise White who, 10 years ago at the age of 39, was featured as the year's No. 1 bank-based financial advisor.
A lot has changed since then. Today, White is the controller of a small bio-tech firm, Ocular Systems, in Winston-Salem, N.C., where she is being groomed to become CFO. It's a job she says she loves so much that "I practically skip in here each morning."
And therein lies a tale of grit and triumph over adversity, not to mention a tribute to the skills gained from 28 years spent working as a financial planner.
White begins her story in late 2008, when she still worked at Allegacy Credit Union (as she did in our list 10 years ago.) Like many financial institutions around the country at the time, it ran into trouble with mortgage securities it had been involved in. White says Allegacy, one of the nation's largest credit unions, had to trim costs, and she was let go.
"They looked at their payroll, and I was earning more than anyone at Allegacy, including the CEO," she says. "So the choice was clear."
As part of her severance deal, she adds that she had to agree to a two-year, no-compete clause, which covered a 250-mile area around Winston-Salem. Since she was a single mom with two boys in high school, and she didn't want to move them. So the clause essentially meant she couldn't work as an advisor any longer, she says now.
Forced to find a new way to earn a living, she did what a lot of people do in that situation: she opened her own business. She had reconnected with a high-school friend living in New Jersey who had always wanted to open a gelato shop, and the two teamed up to do just that in nearby Greensboro.
"At the time, in 2009, people warned me, 'You can't borrow money these days!' But you know, I find you can always do what other people say you can't do."
The forged ahead, financial crisis or no financial crisis, and succeeded in convincing local High Point Bank to loan them their start-up capital for the shop. They also arranged with a local mall owner anxious to fill empty storefronts to give them six months' free rent on a space for their shop, which they called Gnami-Gnami.
With the help of some good reviews written in local papers by local author/celebrity Orson Scott Card, the shop did well—so well, in fact, that they were able to operate through the winter months.
White attributes their success at obtaining a loan and a favorable lease to her prior advising experience. "I was already familiar with banks," she explains. "You know, people can say a lot of bad things about bankers, but bankers will tell you what you need to have in order for them to lend, and I did all those things that we needed to do. They were sort of my people. I had also done my share of advising small business people as a financial planner, which helped us, too."
Still, as successful as it was, the new gelato business was not enough for White, who says she lost 20 pounds on a start-up entrepreneur's diet, and also had to downsize to a small house for herself and her two sons.
"It's a good thing I had been a financial planner," she says. "With our income limited, I at least knew how to make a budget and to live and work within my means."
Eventually, after two years running Gnami-Gnami, White, wanting a higher income, says she sold her share of the business to her partner and began looking for another job opportunity. "I needed more income and I needed benefits," she explains.
Returning to her old skill set, she hired on at Stearns Financial in Greensboro. She was happy there as an RIA, doing a lot of family advising, she says, but then she was approached by two former Allegacy clients, Jerry Barker and Ted Rehmeyer, two entrepreneurs who had founded medical firm Ocular Systems in 2004. It processes corneas for use in implants and makes other products to help surgeons improve people's vision. It also had grown to $7 million in sales, and they were looking for someone to groom as a new CFO.
Barker, a scientist by training, is CEO of the firm and Rehmeyer, a Wharton MBA grad, is CFO. But Rehmeyer, approaching 80, was ready to slow down and was wanted to retire in Florida. "They wanted someone they could trust, and they said to me, 'As an advisor you were good with our personal assets, and even wrote checks for us, so we know we can trust you with our company's money,'" recalls White.
So in March of 2012 a deal was struck. Barker and Rehmeyer created the position of controller for her, and included a clause in her contract saying that she was being trained for the CFO position at Ocular. White says the new work was challenging. "For a while, I went around feeling like my hair was on fire," she admits. "In fact it's still smoking! I only started to feel comfortable about this work in the past few months. Fortunately, I had Ted as a mentor and a list of CPAs and attorneys he gave me, plus a few of my own, to call on for advice...It's been sort of like being paid to get a hands-on MBA here," says White, who earned a B.S. from UNC-Greensboro and a CFP from the College of Financial Planning in Colorado.
In fact, she had been thinking initially of going for an MBA at near-by Wake Forest University, but was advised against it by a friend who had been CEO at a biopharmaceutical company.
"He told me, 'Don't do it. They'll just screw you up." White says this friend told her she was "more the kind of person who just makes things work, and that an MBA program would just try to change the way I think."
White concedes she doesn't fully buy that idea, but she does feel that with the experience she's had as an advisor, and the resources she has, including the smart people she works with, she can handle her new responsibilities.
She's already helped to handle a spin-off from Ocular Systems of a sister company—a process she says required her to learn a whole new skill set.
Then last April, Ocular Systems was acquired by Seattle-based SightLife, a not-for-profit global health organization focused on eliminating corneal blindness around the world.
SightLife, White notes, was interested in Ocular for both its expertise, and because the little company generates about $100,000 in surplus funds every month that can be used to support SightLife's international programs.
"So now I've had to learn how to work in the not-for-profit world," says White. She adds: "We're audited regularly too now, so that's also new."
White says she's still not making as much as what she made as a financial advisor. But she hastens to add, "This is a very satisfying job, the benefits are great, and they're more than fair. I'm may not be working at a Fortune 100 company, but I get to wear all the hats here, and it's just so much more fun."

Wikipedia defines Big Data as a large volume of unstructured data which cannot be handled by standard database management systems like DBMS, RDBMS or ORDBMS.
Big data usually includes data sets with sizes beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to capture, curate, manage, and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time. Big data sizes are a constantly moving target ranging from a few dozen terabytes to many petabytes of data.
In a 2001 research report and related lectures, META Group analyst Doug Laney (now with Gartner) defined data growth challenges and opportunities as being three-dimensional. Gartner, and now much of the industry, continue to use this "3Vs" model for describing big data.
- increasing volume (amount of data),
- velocity (speed of data in and out),
- variety (range of data types and sources)
In 2012, Gartner updated its definition as follows: "Big data is high volume, high velocity, and/or high variety information assets that require new forms of processing to enable enhanced decision making, insight discovery and process optimization. Additionally, a new V "Veracity" is added by some organizations to describe it.
The introduction of Big Data has given organisations access to more data than ever before. Unstructured data that would have previously been considered 'dead' or of no value, but now with BigData it can be collected and analysed to benefit organisations. BigData gives organisations the opportunity to discover data correlations and patterns that before would have remained hidden. This means organisations now have access to more accurate information which can influence their business.
Big Data ensures that you have as much data as possible before making important business decisions. This will enable you to feel more confident when making business choices. The abundant data available through BigData also enables marketing strategies to be improved and more accurately targeted. This could help you to greatly increase your customer base, and push your organisation ahead of the competition. Improvements in these areas of business can ultimately lead to an increase in revenue as your organisation is able to both cut costs and attract more

I have read many an article over at the MMSL blog and I have to say that I have come to appreciate the viewpoint that Athol, the author, brings to the topics at hand. Many times something he says will hit home. His article from Monday is no exception: "She Comes Fourth In Your Life vs. Children Come First." To give you the short and sweet, essentially he's addressing the order of importance in which you place your spouse/partner. It appears the norm has become (1) self -or- children, (2) blood relatives/immediate family, (3) career -or- mission, and lastly, (4) the spouse/partner. This has led to many an unstable/unhealthy relationship because ultimately the spouse/partner ends up feeling pushed away and devalued. This particular topic has been one I have grappled with on many occasion.
As many of you know, my husband and I started dating in high school (insert sappy sigh of "awww" here). High school was not as much of a struggle when it came to who came first in our lives. It seemed that family was at the top of the list and then each other, but in our new state of infatuation with one another sometimes it seemed family and each other were tied. However, going off to College posed a new challenge to where we ranked one another. The fact that College was so costly and we were both paying our own way, quite frequently our studies outranked each other on our list of priorities. This would cause many an argument based on the sheer unhappiness either of us felt when having to settle for less time with one another.
First Career / Apartment
Once our College graduation was out of the way, one would think the order of balance would realign itself however that was not the case. The pressures to be successful in our new jobs and also to maintain the apartment we resided in quickly took precedence. Dispersing household chores equally did help, but it did still seem that our careers had wedged themselves into one of those top spots and did not appear to be giving up footing anytime soon.
First Pet
This one we struggled with quite a bit. Anyone who's had a puppy knows what sort of demands on your time this presents. We were not immune to this. Very quickly any sort of sensed inequity (i.e. "who walked him last") would erupt new arguments and our abilities to be spontaneous together very quickly dwindled because the best interests of the puppy always had to be considered. I'll admit that similar to the "children come first" notion, I put our puppy on a pedestal. Not to mention, the puppy/dog shared our bed. Not a smart move on our part.
Career Changes / Housing / Wedding Planning
I'll kind of lump the remainder of pressures we've encountered into one miscellaneous paragraph here because in a very short period of time the see-saw of life was out of balance again. Things like job changes, buying a house, and planning a wedding definitely upset the apple cart. I could feel the strain these items put on our relationship because once again, Justin was not in a top spot. I also felt I had taken on the lion's share of what should have had both of our involvement and I was resentful at times as well. We went through a very dark period in our lives , unfortunately during our first year or so of marriage, which I'm fairly positive much of this contributed to because we allowed other things to outrank each other.
New Baby - The Unknown Variable
Now that we're on the right track with where we rank each other in our lives, however, we've gone and threw ourselves a curve ball yet again by getting pregnant. I, of course, am wary of how the new baby is not only going to change the dynamic between us and our fur-child, but between each other. I must say that since hindsight is 20/20, I feel a little more prepared for this challenge to our rankings but it doesn't mean I'm any less worried about how things will play out. Will I become so consumed with the child that Justin feels neglected? Will I have enough energy and forethought left over to ensure that I make him a top priority? Will he do the same? Will we grow together as a family or end up bitter and resentful of one another? I realize thousands of babies are born every day and somehow the majority manages to make it work, but is our relationship solid enough? I guess I could "what if" til the cows come home but none the less, these are things that weigh heavily on my mind at the moment.
Thoughts, insight, and shared experiences would be appreciated.

*Amazing® (Article #825). 53% Wool, 47% Acrylic; package size: 1.75oz/50.00 gr. (147yds/135m) pull skeins
16 sts + 22 rnds = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st worked in rnds (k every rnd).
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will
be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient.
If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size
hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
M1 (make 1) An increase worked by lifting the horizontal strand lying between needles and
placing it onto the left needle. Knit this new stitch through the back loop – 1 st increased.
K1, p1 Rib worked in rnds (over even number of sts)

Knit 1 rnd.
Rep Increase Rnd - 60 (74) sts.
Note: If the sts no longer fit comfortably on double pointed needles as you work the following rnds,
change to the larger circular needle.
Rep last 2 rnds 7 (8) more times - 74 (90) sts.
Knit 1 rnd.
Divide for Leg Openings
Next Rnd: K6 (9), bind off 5 (8) sts for leg opening, k52 (56) and place these 52 (56) sts on a holder for back, bind off 5 (8) sts for leg opening, k to end of rnd, remove marker and k next 6 (9) sts - 12 (18) sts rem for underbody.

These Christian Louboutin Feticha heels make up one of the pairs I kept due to being a wardrobe staple. Simple and classic in design and considered some of my essential shoes, meaning heels which I practically live in, rotating them and wearing them five days a week working in an office. I find that having 4"-5" heels, vamp up pretty much any other outfit as well. Being the vertically challenged and very 'mid height' gal that I am, they also give me those longer legs that elude me naturally.

A fire at the old Northeast Police Station in Highland Park damaged vintage wooden furnishings but will not delay plans to renovate the historic station and turn it into a police museum, said the president of the Los Angeles Police Historical Society.
About 65 firefighters battled the blaze, which broke out at 1 a.m. Monday in the station at 6045 E. York Blvd.
No injuries were reported, but firefighters estimated the damage at $100,000, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Greg Acevedo said.
The cause could not be determined immediately, and an arson investigation was begun, Acevedo said.
The 65-year-old station, which was designated a city landmark, has not been used by the Los Angeles Police Department since 1983. A bond measure approved earlier this year is expected to provide funds for earthquake reinforcement and asbestos removal.
The Los Angeles City Council has approved plans to lease the building to the Los Angeles Police Historical Society for use as a police museum. Police Sgt. Richard Kalk, society president, said the fire apparently caused no major structural damage.

Hi folks,
I have some pretty big changes coming up that I will clarify next week. I'm very excited as it is my next big challenge. However, it will still very much involve KVM and still very likely storage..The KVM focus going forward is likely to be mostly (90%+) OpenStack related, and the storage is likely to be a little more generic in nature as I'm leaving NetApp. Nothing but love and respect for my NetApp colleagues – I'll help you however I can in the future. So where am I going?
I'll get that out next week..
Captain KVM
