Adding landscape lighting installation and maintenance as another service offering can help your bottom line grow.
But like any other service offering you consider taking on, you want to make sure you have a good understanding of what it will take to be successful.
Like so many different landscape service subjects, landscape lighting has subject areas which can range from simple to complex. The more you educate yourself on all of the subjects within the landscape lighting category, you will be able to distinguish your business from competitors and thereby run a more profitable landscape lighting profit center.
Some of the technical subject areas involved in landscape lighting are basic electrical principles, photometry, lighting design techniques, electrical codes and more. Other subject areas include lighting design, installation techniques and emerging internet of everything technologies.
First, you need to separate landscape lighting into two categories of high voltage versus low voltage. Outdoor lighting systems which operate on high voltage power sources require the installer to be a licensed electrical contractor.
Low voltage landscape lighting systems are the focus of this overview because it is the primary category the landscape trade offers to their clients. In all instances you will need to refer to your local and state codes to make sure you are in compliance.
Today you find that landscape lighting systems are becoming more sophisticated and require more product and technical knowledge than before. In the early days of landscape lighting systems were fairly simple to understand from a technical starting point.
Basically, the installer would use a lighting transformer that would reduce high voltage at the job site from 120 volts to 12 volts. The installer would then use primarily 12 gauge low voltage wire and splice lighting fixtures into the electric wire. The transformer could be activated by a timing device and or a photocell. Many lighting systems today are still installed in this manner but dramatic changes have occurred in the lamps and in the control of the systems.
The early days of the landscape lighting industry witnessed irrigation contractors entering into the landscape lighting industry. The reasons for this were both practical and technical and serve as a good starting point to introduce you to landscape lighting.
Many irrigation contractors in the colder parts of the country found that by offering landscape lighting as a service they could extend their selling season late into the fall. Technically, irrigation contractors were able to understand how basic irrigation design principles were similar to electrical lighting principles.
For example, irrigation design needs to take into account beginning pressure, pressure loss, available pressure at the sprinkler head and the gallons per minute used at each head. Irrigation pressure loss occurs through friction loss, which varies depending on the type and size of the pipe used and the distance of the pipe. Pressure loss also occurs when the sprinkler head discharges the water.
In basic electrical lighting design many of the same principles applied. You need to take into account your beginning voltage, calculate voltage loss based on the size of the wire used and the total distance of the wire used. Voltage loss also occurs when the lamp would turn on, and this voltage loss would be expressed as watts.
This very simple comparison between irrigation design principles and outdoor lighting design principles is only meant to give you a starting point in understanding the starting point in your technical education requirements, and an understanding of the history of the development of the landscape lighting industry.
To this day, many contactors have been able to install simple landscape lighting systems in the landscape with a very limited amount of technical knowledge. The visual impact that lighting has is immediate and often dramatic. But a failure to understand landscape lighting at a more technical level and understand emerging technologies in lamp technology and design principles will have you competing against the DIY homeowner, or other contractors who only sell on price.
Design principles
Landscape lighting principles borrow from techniques used in the theater. Lighting techniques such as back light, up light, silhouette, cross light and more can be used in your lighting designs. One of the pioneers of the landscape lighting industry was the late William Locklin, the founder of Nightscaping. Mr. Locklin developed some of the earliest training guides to introduce contractors into how to offer landscape lighting as a service.
From a design perspective the Nightscaping training manuals suggested that every landscape lighting project should broadly address beauty, safety and security concerns on the site. By addressing these three areas first, the landscape professional is able to start generating several design ideas for their clients.
The first design principle, beauty, is often the easiest to address because landscape enhancements are very visual. You will find many elements on the property to illuminate such as fountains, architectural features of the home, trees, patios and more.
From a safety design perspective the professional landscape lighting professional will illuminate pathways, steps and all areas where the owners of the property could trip or fall. Pointing out how your lighting design takes safety into the design is important.
Finally, landscape lighting enhances the security around the property. This can be an overlooked category for the landscape lighting contractor since property owners are usually considering landscape lighting for its beauty first. However, looking for areas to illuminate for security concerns is an important consideration. Your eyes are naturally drawn to what is illuminated, which draws your attention away from areas. Security concerns can also be addressed based on how you set up the times you set to operate portions of the landscape lighting system.
Advancements in lamp technology
Broadly speaking, lamp technology is now blossoming into its third wave of technology. The first wave was borrowed from the automotive industry which used 12 volt incandescent lamps and PAR lamp technology. The second wave of lamp technology was MR-Lamps (mirror reflect) and tungsten lamps. The MR and tungsten lamps introduced improved color and the ability to have beam control for more dramatic lighting techniques. The third and current technology wave is LED (Light emitting diodes) lamps.
The landscape lighting industry has traditionally followed the broader lighting industry as to when new lamp technology would be introduced to the landscape trade. The best example of this is LED lamps. Introducing lamp technology that uses computer chips into the outdoor environment brought a lot of challenges that were difficult to address in a cost effective manner.
Today, the LED revolution in the landscape lighting industry is in full force. LED lamps have been developed that offer beam control, improvements in color, longer life and perhaps most significantly greater energy efficiency. You are now able to get the same illumination output at 4.5 watts that you were previously able to achieve with a 50 watt MR-16 lamp.
This energy efficiency revolution has impacted design considerations and other materials used on a project. For example, the lower voltage consumption has reduced the size of transformers needed for the project. That is because lighting transformers were designed to handle the total capacity of amperage of the lighting system. (Amperage = Watts/Volts). With LED, lamps operate on significantly smaller amperage so the landscape professional is now using smaller transformers.
Another advantage of the LED revolution is the impact it has had on reducing variances on light output that could occur based on voltage loss in lighting designs. Before if the lighting installer did not calculate voltage correctly for each lamp, both lamp life and the quality output of the light would be impacted. Calculating voltage loss remains important, but as long as each LED has the correct voltage to operate, each LED lamp will provide the output of light exactly as it has been designed to produce.
Advancements in control technology
For a very long time the landscape industry has controlled landscape lighting systems through the most common switching devices. From the simple wall switch to timers, photocells and even motion sensors, most landscape lighting systems are still controlled that way today.
Your ability to educate yourself on different control technologies and how to implement these into your landscape lighting services will differentiate your business. Lighting controls products and related systems are basically controlling timing, brightness, motion, time of season, longitude and latitude, different areas or sections. These controls can be different products, for example, dimming and motion, and require knowledge on how to integrate these products into your lighting designs and installations.
Integrating lighting controls into your design has many benefits for your clients including lighting customization themes, energy savings, security and convenience. Smart home technology is now entering into the landscape lighting industry with remote control ability both on site and via internet technologies such as mobile apps.
Learning more about landscape lighting
Whether you are already offering landscape lighting or are considering adding this service to your offering, continuing your professional education is critical. You will discover that most of the electrical distribution companies may supply a lot of these products, but their on-hand inventory and attention to this product category may not be as focused as the landscape irrigation supply companies.
The leading landscape irrigation supply companies in your area frequently put on educational seminars in conjunction with the landscape lighting manufacturers they represent. Some of these distribution suppliers may also have sales personnel who are willing to travel to your job sites with you.
Like so many different subject categories within the landscape industry, one subject is actually a collection of different subject categories. Landscape lighting can be one of the most profitable and enjoyable landscape service offerings your company could provide.

Sneak Peek: Inside Singapore's newest event conceptBy Lauren Arena
08 Feb 2017
Huone Events Hotel, a Helskini-based event concept, is set to launch in Singapore's Clarke Quay this month as the first-of-its-kind in Asia-Pacific.
Taking the concept of meeting design to a whole new level, Huone Singapore (huone means room in Finnish) features a collection of 11 uniquely themed meeting rooms for up to 150 guests combined with on-site event management services.
Inspired by scenes of Old Clarke Quay and the brand's home base in Finland, Huone Singapore's innovative spaces are designed to stimulate creativity and encourage discussion with rooms that emulate igloos, a bird's nest and a sandbox.
Before it's grand opening on February 23, CEI Asia took a look around to discover what awaits event planners in this 'hotel without beds'.
"It's like walking into Narnia," says Huone Events Hotel founder and CEO, Evon Söderlund. "We are innovating meeting design and it is our goal to disrupt and shake up events industry as a whole."
Targeting small to medium groups, Söderlund says the focus is on quality, not quantity.
"We are focusing on cosier spaces, providing end-to-end event needs, from event planning and food and beverage service, to live entertainment and event technology."
Highlights inlcude the Runway room (45-75 people), with glowing furniture and chalkboard walks and and a boardroom table that doubles as a runway; the Igloo room with a Northern Lights effect; and the Swing room (25-45 pax) which features swinging chairs suspended from the ceiling, a tree house and beanbags.
The custom-designed, highly flexible rooms are suitable for a range of events, from seminars and board meetings, to team building, company retreats and product launches.
All rooms are soundproof and revolve around a common dining area (designed to encourage networking between groups) where buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner is served. Set menus featuring local dishes and a few Finnish favourites are also available for private dining.
Joewin Tan, managing director of Singapore-based events company Linear Dots Production will take the helm at Huone Singapore as CEO. She says the 'events hotel' concept fill a gap in the local market.
"I expect event planners and corporates to be very excited by our concept. As an event planner myself, when I met Evon in 2014 I knew that I found the answer to what many of my corporate clients have been asking for—creative and flexible meeting rooms that promote collaboration and productivity.
"Singapore is one of the world's leading MICE cities and we have one of the highest saturation of meeting venues, from hotels to convention centres, to other smaller players who offer meeting rooms. Yet, nobody offers creative meeting venues. It often costs event planners an arm and a leg to 'build' a creative venue for their clients."
"We hope that we inspire the rest of the players in Singapore to think differently and be bold," she says.
Tan will lead a team of in-house event co-ordinators who will assist in designing and managing events. Alternatively, corporates and planners can book, manage and pay for their event via Huone's online reservation platform, Eventsome, which also features an event ROI calculator.
The brainchild of husband and wife entrepreneurs Jussi and Evon Söderlund, Huone Singapore is the brand's first international outpost following the success of Huone Helsinki, which launched in 2012.

6 August 2013
Workers at glass manufacturers, Ardagh Glass in Yorkshire and Scotland will be embarking on a series of strikes, starting next week, in a dispute over a "very inadequate" pay offer.
The workers, members of Unite, the country's largest union and the GMB union, have voted overwhelmingly for strike action and for industrial action short of a strike.
The strikes, which will hit shifts at Barnsley, Doncaster and Knottingley in Yorkshire and at Irvine in Ayrshire, are due to start on Friday 9 August and continue to Monday 9 September.
Ardagh Glass, a highly profitable firm which made £65 million in pre-tax profits last year, employs about 1,300 workers.
Unite today (Thursday 1 August) called on the management to get around the table before the strikes began to negotiate a meaningful and fair pay settlement.
At Irvine, strikes will affect different shifts on 10, 11, 12, 16 and 19 August and 1, 2, and 6 September.
At Barnsley, strikes will affect different shifts on 9, 10, 12, 15 and 27 August. At the Knottingley and Doncaster sites, strikes will affect different shifts on 9, 10, 15 and 23 August and 2, 3 and 8 September. All day shifts at Knottingley and Doncaster will be affected on 12 August and 9 September.
Unite workers at the Yorkshire sites voted by a margin of 90 per cent in favour of industrial action short of a strike and by 84 per cent for strike action.
Unite members at Irvine voted by a margin of 88 per cent in favour of industrial action short of strike and 83 per cent for strike action.
Unite deputy regional secretary Tas Sangha said: "Our dispute centres on the wage award for 2013. Our claim is for more than the current retail price index rate, which rose to 3.3 per cent in June.
"Unite is ready to hold talks with the management prior to the strikes beginning next week, so we can reach a fair settlement for our members. This is a highly profitable company.
Unite regional officer for the Ayrshire plant Jim Winter said: "It is very disappointing that the management has refused to engage with the conciliation service, Acas.
"It should also be pointed out that our members also made large sacrifices when the final salary pension scheme was closed and there have been changes to the sick pay scheme which also hit our members."

What Does Your Online Presence Tell an Employer?February 26th, 2016
Hiring managers don't just use resumes, cover letters, and interviews to form their impressions of candidates – online reputation is more commonly playing an integral part of the decision-making process. 52 percent of employers research candidates on social media, according to a 2015 CareerBuilder survey. This is an increase from the 43 percent reported in the year prior. Your online presence matters; learn what employers are looking for and how you can best present yourself online during a job search.
A lot of candidates will share qualifications, but attitude is often what predicts a new hire's success. Hiring managers will look at your online presence as a means to determine if you have a pleasant attitude that will cope well with workplace challenges. A major red flag during an online search is when candidates vent about their employers, so come across online as a positive person, not one prone to negativity.
Pay careful attention to what you use for profile pictures on social media to ensure they depict the image you want to portray to hiring managers. A basic headshot will make you seem professional, while a shot of you drinking at a party could lead them to question your judgment. When you're job searching, verify your privacy settings on your personal photos or simply delete any that could be deemed inappropriate.
Your online presence and how you express yourself and interact with other people in discussions can be eye-opening for hiring managers in terms of assessing your communication skills. While it's understandable that you may be more casual during your personal time online, hiring managers may look at your writing style and how you talk to others to evaluate if you're a strong candidate.
More likely than not, hiring managers are reviewing the online presence of candidates not because they are looking for reasons to reject them, but simply to get to know them. The hiring process is a somewhat artificial environment with hiring managers having to evaluate candidates on their predicted success in a job in a workplace that will be in a different setting than the interview. Your online presence can give hiring managers a more comprehensive view of you that interview anxiety may have prevented from showing.
Make your job search more successful with Professional Alternatives. We serve the Texas area and match candidates to employers with available positions throughout a variety of industries. By working with Professional Alternatives, you'll receive personal attention to enable you to find the right opportunities for you.

As a Palmdale family struggles with the decision of whether to take a 7-year-old shooting victim off life support, two brothers were charged Friday with murder.
Jesus Peralta, 22, and Carlos Peralta, 19, both of Palmdale, allegedly confronted the boyfriend of Desiree Macias' mother at a Palmdale gas station early Wednesday.
Firing bullets into the family's car, the pair allegedly chased the Macias for miles. Desiree's three siblings, her mother and her mother's boyfriend were also in the car.
When the family pulled into their driveway, Desiree's mother noticed she'd been struck in the head.
A third man was traveling with the Peraltas and was arrested, but will not be facing charges.
The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office said there was insufficient evidence to file charges against that third man, who may be a witness against the Peraltas.
Desiree was hospitalized in critical condition and remained on life support Friday evening, her family said.
A fund has been created in Desiree Masias' name, according to a relative. Donations can be made to Wells Fargo account No. 2345282319, routing No. 122000247.
Meanwhile, messages of support, flowers, candles and stuffed bears accumulate outside the family's Palmdale home.
"We are scared about our neighborhood," said Juan Cortez, a neighbor whose son goes to school with the young victim.
"We would like to see more protective from police, more safety."
Children were among dozens of mourners who filled the street outside Desiree's home Friday night.
"She's a great friend to everybody and we all miss her," one classmate said.
Described as hardcore gang members, the Peraltas were charged Friday with one count each of premeditated murder and three counts of attempted murder.
They are being held on $8 million bail each. If convicted as charged, the brothers each face a maximum prison sentence of 185 years to life, according to the LA DA's office.

Sen. Bernie Sanders pointed the finger squarely at Republicans for kicking up a federal probe into allegations his wife fraudulently obtained a loan for the Vermont college she once led, saying Sunday the Republican National Committee is "very excited" about the controversy.
The interview marked the 2016 presidential candidate's latest effort to downplay the FBI investigation, which reportedly is looking at whether Jane Sanders committed fraud to get a $10 million loan for a Burlington College expansion.
Asked on CNN's "State of the Union" about the case, Sen. Sanders quickly pointed out how the allegations first surfaced.
"I know this will shock the viewers — the vice-chairman of the Vermont Republican Party who happened to be Donald Trump's campaign manager raised this issue and initiated this investigation," he said. "… I think what you're looking at is something that [the] Republican National Committee is very excited about."
The Vermont independent senator adamantly denied that he or his staff ever reached out to the bank in question to approve any loans related to the transaction – and defended his wife.
"My wife is perhaps the most honest person I know. She did a great job in Burlington College," Sanders said. "Sadly we are in a moment where parties not only attack public officials, they have to go after wives and children. You know, this is pathetic and that's the way politics is in America today."
The comments track with others the senator made last week dismissing the probe as a "pathetic" and political attack.
The Republican Sanders referred to in his CNN interview was Brady Toensing, a former Donald Trump presidential campaign official who wrote the original complaint. The complaint, however, raised numerous red flags about the application that might not be so easily ignored, including the sources she listed as proof of the school's ability to repay.
The loan was arranged by Sanders' wife when she was president of the now-closed college to acquire 33 acres of lakefront property to improve and expand the small, non-traditional school.
People close to the couple, including Sanders' presidential campaign manager Jeff Weaver, have confirmed that the independent senator and his wife each have retained a lawyer in connection with the case.
Jane Sanders, college president from 2004-2011, structured the loan deal in two parts — a $6.5 million loan from People's United Bank to buy tax-exempt bonds issued by a state agency that signed off on the deal and a $3.65 million second mortgage from the Roman Catholic Dioceses of Burlington.
To secure the money, Sanders submitted a spreadsheet that attempted to show the school had $2.4 million in confirmed pledges, grants and other funds to repay the debt.
The document — obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request and listed as exhibit B in the original complaint — showed the money would come from 40 separate entries.
However, each entry was denoted only by initials, under such categories as "friends" or "faculty and staff" and with no additional documentation, according to the complaint filed to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.'s office of the inspector general.

The comments on dominant women and submissive men are around 24:30 or so.
If anyone could transcribe them, I'd be very grateful.
I'll discuss just one more defining element of second-wave radical feminism here: namely, the notion of sexual politics. In the English language, the word "sex" is ambiguous: there's sex in the sense of male and female, and also in the sense of sexuality. Second wave feminism named "sex" in both senses as an arena of politics, that is, an arena in which power is exercised. In short, patriarchy makes sex (as male/female) into an unjust power hierarchy, which then manifests itself in many mutually reinforcing ways, including in and through sex (as sexuality). Whatever supports and maintains that power hierarchy is, from a second-wave point of view, problematic and wrong. If this includes, as it is almost sure to, certain ways of understanding and practicing sex (as sexuality), then these understandings and practices should be resisted and transformed. Furthermore, in second-wave thinking, challenging the sex-based power hierarchy itself requires challenging the very definitions of manhood and womanhood, of masculinity and femininity, on which it it is premised: namely, masculinity as dominance and aggression, femininity as submission. These roles themselves are taken to be problematic, not just their coercive association with biological males and females respectively. Thus, on this view, for a woman to be sexually dominant (or a man submissive) does not constitute liberation, nor do instances of same necessarily count as resistance.
Now the third wave also has a take on sexual politics, that is, on the connections between power, sex as male and female, and sex as sexuality. They too believe that the power hierarchy placing men above women is unjust, but they have different ideas about what counts as challenging that hierarchy, particularly as it is expressed in sex-as-sexuality. On this view, for instance, a woman challenges the hierarchy when she plays a dominatrix role, or when she becomes a sexual consumer (for instance, using pornography or getting a lap dance at a strip club)—that is, when she adopts a standardly masculine set of sexual roles and activities. A woman also resists, on this view, when she uses the "power" of femininity—her beauty, her sex appeal and hotness, etc.—to her own perceived advantage. According to third-wave feminism, then, a woman can enact a liberatory and feminist sexual politics by adopting either a typically feminine or a typically masculine sexual role and persona, and running with it—as long as she does so freely and with the right attitudes and intentions.
....Some claims made on behalf of purportedly-feminist pornography sound reasonable enough as far as they go—for instance, that by making and/or consuming pornography one asserts that it's OK for women to be sexual and to want sex, that women are not merely passive recipients of male sexual desire, but have sexual desires of our own. Furthermore, in "alt" or feminist pornography we do occasionally see women with something other than the Hollywood-prescribed body size and shape. (More often, the "alternative" appearance seems to consist mainly of tattoos and body piercings—but rarely does it involve having pubic hair, I've noticed.) But when we look at the statements of self-described feminist pornographers, the utterly liberal—even libertarian—politics at the core of this enterprise become unmistakeable. At bottom, as it turns out, this pornography is said to be feminist because it is made by women, who are freely choosing to make it. For instance, Joanna Angel, a self-described feminist pornographer, has said that "you could do a porn where a girl is getting choked and hit and spit on, the guy's calling her a dirty slut and stuff and . . . that can still be feminist as long as everybody there is in control of what they're doing."12 (Remember: it's not what you're doing, but whether you're doing it freely!)
Also clearly in evidence here is the idea that women can enact a liberatory sexual politics by embracing either standardly feminine or standardly masculine sexual roles and activities. Without an overriding critique of sexualized dominance, the perfectly reasonable claim that it's OK for women to want and seek sexual satisfaction shades easily into claiming women's right to be sexual dominators and consumers. And of course, at the core of the "feminist pornography" enterprise is the idea that women can and should redefine the feminized, pornographized sexual-object role as, itself, a form of power. (Again, when is it power? . . . when we freely choose it!) Thus it is that prominently featured on the website of "feminist pornographer" Nina Hartley is a new film entitled "O: The Power of Submission."13 Perusing Hartley's list of favorite links, one finds a site called Slave Next Door, which carries the tagline "real sexual slavery." The portal page of this website reads, in part, "Slave Next Door is the graphic depiction of a female sex slave's life and training for sexual slavery. It contains extreme bdsm situations and . . . sadistic training." In clicking to enter the site, one is told , one affirms that one is "not here in the capacity of law enforcement or religious activist."14

By: Freelance Reporter Tammy Washington, Posted July 8, 2018 at 10:19 am US/Central
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS–The Four-One-One's street committee has ascertained some shocking and distubing information pertaining to William A. Eaddy (aka Will Eaddy).
Will is the son of Chicago Pastor Michael Eaddy, Chairman of the General Council of Pastors and Elders for the Church of God In Christ, Inc (aka "C.O.G.I.C.").
Will refers to himself on social media as "The Influencer", and "The Streets Minister" but those who really know him calls him a "lying hypocrite."
Jerhonda Pace, a 24-year-old Chicago woman, has recently broke her silence surrounding a previous alleged underage sexual relationship with R&B superstar, R. Kelly.
Pace, now a mother of three, spoke with The-Four-One-One to recount her sexual past with Kelly, and others who were sexually involved with the singer.
According to Pace, Will Eaddy is one of Kelly's gay lovers, who's been sexually active with the embattled singer for years.
"Robert has bragged to me and others about how he turned Will out and made him go from his male groupie to his personal little bitch" said Pace.
"Rob has a way of making individuals like Will feel like they're his best friend in the world, but dog them to us when they're not around. He's as two-faced as they come" added Pace.
There are other public figures who have excoriated Will Eaddy for his clandestine gay lifestyle.
Tasha K, is a reputable social media star and pop culture aficionado, who is famous for her UnWine with Tasha K YouTube channel. She has earned massive popularity, to the tune of over 240 thousand subscribers. Her massive audience admires her valor to address controversial issues, while sipping wine throughout her rants.
In one of Taska's recent videos, she emphatically called out Will Eaddy as one of R. Kelly's gay lovers.
Will Eaddy's involvement with Kelly is particularly interesting given the fact that his former brother-in-law Steve Huff is married to Stephanie Edwards formerly known as r&b singer Sparkle, who just happen to be the aunt of Reshona Edwards-Landfair, the underage girl in the infamous sex tape that caused Kelly to be charged with 21 counts of child pornography back in 2002.
Even more disconcerting, Will's father, Pastor Michael Eaddy, is just as hypocritical as his .son, embracing a known pedophile and sex cult leader as if he's a hero of some kind.
"It's no wonder the Church of God In Christ organization is on a downward spiral" said Elder Earl Carter, formerly of the C.O.G.I.C. organization.
As a maneuver to deflect attention from his gay lifestyle, Will often takes to social media, posting photos of him and Kelly and defending their relationship to those who dare question their his sexuality. The following is a recent posting from Will's Facebook page:
"Me and My Brother, R. Kelly, started 21 years ago as Basketball Competitors turned Friends, turned Best Friends and now turned Brothers! I've been SILENT only because I KNOW THE TRUTH! He has been silent because he doesn't have to prove or say anything to salacious lies. The TRUTH will come out and you'll see the true motives behind all of this very soon.
You have NO IDEA the things that I have been accused of and suffered because of my Love, Loyalty & Association to R. Kelly. Regardless of what anyone says or thinks, I've NEVER left his side or spoke ill of him.
I've even been accused personally of some of the most disgusting things, but anyone that even remotely knows me knows my Integrity, Reputation, Upbringing & Standing within the Community."
Needless to say, any logical thinking person reading that statement will instantly see through all the jargon and detect gay overtones that's consistent with a homosexual relationship.
Despite Will's malarkey, others close to Kelly knows beyond a reasonable doubt that Will Eaddy is an undercover homosexual.
Both Will and R. Kelly knows it's all true, which is why you'll never hear about them filing a law suit, primarily, because they know it opens up the flood gates for even more info about their gay relationship that would be divulged on public record, under oath, during lawyer depositions.

Its in the struggle that we find our strength.
"Stress" is an emotional response to external stressors. Understanding this helped me to understand the difference between being able to bounce back from life issues vs breaking under the weight of what I'd carried as a survivor of really bad things. (SRBT:))
Its like my emotional resilience is a rubber band that balances the events called "life".
If I only have life experiences that allow me to develop minimal emotional resiliency I won't have the ability to bounce back from normal, let alone abnormal, life experiences.
In essence I have a very thin, weak rubber band instead of a bunch of rubberbands that I'd gathered through many different life experiences that would hold heavier burdens of life.
My thin rubber band will easily bend and bow to the weight of the burden it is holding and in time become frayed or even snap.
As a survivor of childhood nastiness and parents who did not have their own healthy, strong emotional bunch of rubber bands developed from extended and consistant use of their emotional muscles, they passed to me not only the burden of being responsible for making their emotional stress levels easier to manage but they also modeled this way of managing - ie not managing via avoiding - levels of stress.
In other words - I learned that my survival depended on my ability to do the dance and "make" my adult parents "ok" and that I was safe only when I eased their emotional stress by not allowing myself to experience any of my own emotions in response to my own life stressors and experiences.
Because - of course - a child's emotional needs become a stressor to parents who don't understand that emotions are normal and that their child isn't doing anything "to" them.
My parents modeled "stress management" by the way they engaged with life through avoidance/control coping instead of embracing life experiences and learning from them.
I did did not learn of or that I was capable of developing emotional resilience because my parents modeled emotional avoidance and punished emotional expression.
So as a child, then teen and finally adult - when I felt powerless over my thoughts, feelings and emotions I saw the stressors of life - the people, places, things and circumstances outside of myself as the problem and - avoidance of stressors the solution.
Life was my problem.
Avoidance in any way, shape or form was the solution.
The downside?
Trying to control how I feel by controlling things outside of my control created a very tight and limited life experience.
I could not tolerate the downside of life but whats more - is I typically could not engage in the positive life experiences or emotions either.
And this became overwhelmingly exhausting - to the point that eventually I completely shut down and wore myself out physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
I could no longer cope because I had exhausted all of the coping skills I had access to.
My rubberband was stretched to the max and quickly being stretched beyond its limited capacity.
The other downside?
My efforts to avoid things I couldn't control often left me feeling even more powerless.
When I could no longer control people places and things to be "ok"....is when I created ways to avoid this stress through
acting out...
where I attempted to control others by blaming them for causing my distress and demanding that they adjust so I could continue to avoid my feelings of powerlessness or escape by running away from situations that were less than my ideal.
I blamed life circumstances for the state of my miserable life.
I could not see that I held the power to change my circumstances by changing my choices - because I did not know I had any other choices or the power to choose.
And acting in...
where I went when I was overwhelmed with trying to do this dance.
It was when I learned to see these life experiences as life lessons
that I learned that I could grow.
It was in embracing the emotional responses to past stressors that I began to live beyond the pain of the past.
My magical thinking from a childhood that required me to adapt to those who controlled my survival had left me ill prepared to understand the very grown up understanding that
Life Happens.
When my focus became learning to be ok in spite of what was going on around me is when my need to act out, lash out, run away or freeze...
simply ceased to be an issue.
When I began to see the life issues that could send me spinning...were really
not the issue.
But that the issue was how I'd learned to see myself as powerless...
is when I began to see that I was no longer a victim and that I could learn to live far beyond survival, coping, managing and in general - avoiding life and the feelings my today life could trigger from my past life where I truly was powerless.
What I've come to understand is that my expectation that life be perfect in order for me to be ok is a normal response to living in and coming from an environment that told me I was less than, incapable, defective, broken, never enough AND if life wasn't perfect -it was because of something I'd done; it was my fault.
This healing thing is a journey and sometimes I used to think that because I wasn't perfect I was therefore not enough; I wasn't good enough, couldn't do anything right enough to finally be accepted.
I dried up; I didn't know who I was or how to find "me" in the mess that had become my life; I'd been stuck in that dance of dependence for so long I didn't know if I'd ever find my way out.
I was still waiting for someone to pat me on the head, toss some holy water over each shoulder and announce to the world that I was no longer broken; I was waiting for permission to exist.
What I've since learned is that in finding my power by learning to recognize why I felt so broken and how it showed up in my life is how I've come to realize that I'm not broken at all.
Just wounded.
And in finding this truth I found the power to find and heal myself by learning to recognize that when I'm lost in life's issues....
thats really not the issue.
In other words...the issue is not that life is my problem...
but in how I've learned to engage with life as it happens.
Learning to live beyond that place of broken is the hard work of this healing journey.
Its where I learned to fly.
The Story of the Emperor Moth tells of a man who desperately wanted to "help" this magnificent being to escape the bondage of its chrysalis. When we try to avoid the struggle is when we are most easily crippled.
This is how we do it... talks about how I discovered what the "hard work" was and how I came to understand that to go through the pain was the only way out of it.

Goldman's Google Phone Math
Plus for sales and operating profit, minus for margins.
That's how Goldman Sachs analysts view Google's Nexus One smart phone, after doing the math on the gizmo. Here's the rough outline of their calculations:
First, Goldman estimates that Google could sell about 3.5 million Nexus Ones in 2010. (That's based roughly on first-year sales of other phones made by HTC — which makes Nexus One — that use Google's Android operating system.)
That level of sales would create about $1.9 billion in revenue for the search giant, at the full $530 price Google set for the unlocked phone. (It's true that the phone will be available for $179 with a two-year T-Mobile contract. But T-Mobile — and eventually other carriers — will be the one to eat the subsidy, not Google, Goldman assumes. So Google will be booking the phones as if they sold them for the full price.)
Now for the bottom line. Goldman guesses that the hardware cost of making the $530 phone is about $300, which it will pay to HTC. So from the remaining $230, take away $50 per unit for warranty, after-sales service and R&D expenses — which HTC will cover apparently. Then take away HTC's $75 profit cut. That leaves $105, from which Goldman subtracts an estimated $50 for Google's R&D and marketing expenses. That leaves Google with about $55 for each phone it sells, a margin of about 10%. That would add at most 2% to Google's earnings before interest and tax, a basic gauge of operating profit.
While 10% margins ain't too shabby for a lot of industries. Goldman says "it is difficult to imagine a scenario where selling handsets is not dilutive to Google's search operating margins of around 50%." That said, Goldman doesn't think that investors are going to punish Google too much for some slippage in margins.
May be, but Google is down about 2% — after Wednesday's 2.5% decline — and has slipped below the $600 barrier. The shares are on course for their third-straight decline.

The Conversation: Coffee and Lobbyists?
ABC News' Jake Tapper inside the coffee shop where off-the-books meetings occur.
During his presidential campaign, then-Sen. Barack Obama vowed to end the revolving door for Washington lobbyists and usher in the most transparent administration in history. But some say the administration hasn't lived up to its promises.
As part of Obama's pledge to encourage greater transparency, the White House has released extensive records of the visitors who have passed through its gates for meetings. The records don't account for meetings that occurred beyond the gates, however, including those at the Caribou Coffee shop a block away from the White House front door.
ABC News' Chief White House correspondent Jake Tapper today walked across the street from the West Wing to Caribou for a "Conversation" on the Obama administration and transparency.
"At these places, they don't have to disclose on the White House visitor logs that they're meeting with lobbyists," Tapper told ABC News' Stephanie Sy.
The New York Times reported that hundreds of off-the-books meetings between White House officials and lobbyists have happened at Caribou Coffee and other nearby shops since Obama took office, one of which ABC News witnessed today.
"While I was setting up, I ran into a White House official who was meeting a lobbyist for coffee," Tapper said. "They said they knew each other from before and weren't talking business."
But the good-government group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington says plenty of business has taken place at Caribou Coffee and other places like it, including discussions on everything from financial regulation to health care overhaul.
"Anything the White House works on, lobbyists are here to discuss," said CARE Executive Director Melanie Sloan, who participated in the "Conversation."
Sloan's organization filed a letter of complaint with the House of Representatives recently, calling for the Committee on Oversight and Government reform to investigate the meetings and the use of private e-mail accounts to communicate with lobbyists.
While the Obama administration has released more information than any other White House in history, it didn't begin releasing records until after her group filed a lawsuit, Sloan said.
"Prior administrations were opaque and Obama is somewhat transparent," Tapper said. But "the truth is that you can't get rid of lobbyists in Washington."
We hope you'll watch the "Conversation" from Caribou Coffee.

Okay I watched it. Then I googled this "Remote Viewer" Dr. Karr and didn't get jack shit except for Derren Brown's video segment with him. So much for a "Famous Remote Viewer". This "Dr. Karr" character took an hour and a half to make the drawings and notes, and most of them were indeed very general statements, and very ink blottish drawings.
As for Joe McMoneagle, he always took less than 30 minutes (that's the max time he'd limit himself), and he drew much more structured complex stuff and gave much more detailed notes than the guy in the video. Compare the vaguely drawn "fountain" and many super general notes given in the Derren Brown video with Joe McMoneagle's drawings and descriptions in comparison to the target area, especially his best hit at the top of this page. Combine it with the fact that the researcher in the National Geographic video segment with Joe McMoneagle was able to connect his drawings and clues to the correct target area (among many possible ones), before the target area was revealed to him.

Alexander Steen scored at 26 seconds of the third overtime to give the Blues a 4-3 victory over the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series Thursday night in St. Louis.
Steen beat Corey Crawford off a pair of short passes from Steve Ott and David Backes to cap the longest overtime game in franchise history.
Ryan Miller blanked the Blackhawks after Patrick Kane scored on a breakaway to put Chicago ahead, 3-2, late in the first period and Jaden Schwartz tied it with 1 minutes 45 seconds to go in regulation.
Both teams face a short turnaround with Game 2 Saturday afternoon.
The Blues' previous longest overtime game was a 4-3 loss at Detroit in 1984 that extended 37 minutes 7 seconds. The home record for a playoff overtime game was 33:49 extra time in a 5-4 win over Chicago on April 20, 1989.
St. Louis had to kill off delay-of-game penalties for shooting the puck into the stands in the first two overtimes. The Blackhawks killed a holding penalty in the second overtime.
Jonathan Toews, like Kane back from a lengthy injury absence, had two assists for Chicago.
Schwartz, Vladimir Tarasenko and Adam Cracknell all scored their first playoff goal for the Blues.
Ryan Miller allowed three goals on just seven shots in the first with defensemen Johnny Oduya and Brent Seabrook also scoring for Chicago.
Avalanche 5, Wild 4, OT
Paul Stastny scored 7:27 into overtime after tying the game with 13.4 seconds remaining in regulation, lifting Colorado over Minnesota in the opener of the Western Conference quarterfinals in Denver
Gabriel Landeskog, Ryan O'Reilly and Jamie McGinn also added goals for Colorado in Patrick Roy's postseason debut behind the bench.
The Hall of Fame goaltender led the Avalanche to two Stanley Cup titles as a player.
Erik Haula, Charlie Coyle, Ryan Suter and Kyle Brodziak scored for the Wild.
Game 2 is Saturday.
Stastny beat Ilya Bryzgalov with a close-in wrist shot in overtime, the same type of play Stastny used to tie the game in regulation.
Roy made a bold move with 3:01 remaining, pulling Semyon Varlamov for an extra skater. Erik Johnson saved a potential empty-net goal with over a minute left as he raced down the ice and slapped away the puck just before it crossed the goal line.
Moments later, Stastny beat Bryzgalov with a shot over his shoulder — the capacity crowd erupted.
Sharks 6, Kings 3
Tomas Hertl and Raffi Torres scored in their first game as teammates and host San Jose jumped on top of Jonathan Quick and rival Los Angeles with a victory in its playoff opener.
Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau and Marc-Edouard Vlasic also scored for the Sharks, who managed just 10 goals against Quick in losing a seven-game series to Los Angeles in the second round last year. Antti Niemi made 31 saves.
Quick allowed three goals in the first period for the first time in his playoff career, including two in the final minute as the Kings were completely outclassed.
Game 2 is Sunday in San Jose.
Quick was replaced by Martin Jones after allowing five goals on 28 shots in two periods and only watched as the Kings showed life in the third period with goals from Jake Muzzin, Slava Voynov and Trevor Lewis.
But Brent Burns sealed it with an empty-net goal as the home team won for the 17th time in the past 18 meetings between these teams.

Over the next few days I'll be sending out a special email with the intention of offering specialised Coaching which will be focused on the Christmas Season, and preparation for making 2012 your best year ever! So, if that sounds like a good idea, please watch this space ...
Speaking of 2012 being almost here; so many people are feeling time poor; too much to do ...
This could help ...
Overwhelmed .... ???Do you have so much to do that it seems overwhelming?
Then stop thinking about how much there is, and start getting it done; one small bit at a time.
Feeling overwhelmed is merely a state of mind that you choose.
And just as easily as you can choose it, you can choose to let it go.
A new day, new month, new year dawns: and it can make you feel like time is quickly slipping away.
But in fact, time comes to you just as quickly as it moves past.
And that means that each moment you get the opportunity to make a difference.
Each moment, the best thing you can do is to make full and meaningful use of that moment.
That is how you get things done.
Moment by moment, little by little, small tasks build into great accomplishments.
And those accomplishments then convert into a life with real fulfilment.
You don't have to tackle everything all at once.
Just do what you can, when you can, filling each moment with positive purpose and action.
And what once seemed overwhelming will quickly become a source of real and lasting fulfilment.
Remember this: Q: How do you eat an elephant? A: One small bite at a time!

So I have a bunch of different things that I have wanted to write about over the past few days or weeks. But it is summer and life has been very full. Between swim team and my oldest daughter performing in the musical "Annie," all my good intentions of blogging failed. Like most summers, I am spending my time living life rather than documenting it. But in an effort to catch up, here is a summer update post with some links, photos, and thoughts…
1. We went blueberry picking today. Temps in the high 90's and low 100's broke and so today's high of 88 degrees felt cool enough to pick blueberries. It was a great afternoon and my sister snapped this amazing shot of Josie. Josie is now 6 months old, cute as pie, and the best baby in the universe (not that I'm biased or anything). What amazes me about this photo is that it just happened. We were sitting taking a break in the shade and my sister just took a few pictures. It may be one of the best baby photos I have ever seen of any of my kids and it was absolutely effortless. Sometimes things that should be easy are hard, and other times things that seem impossible (a great photo shoot of a baby!) are so easy.
2. This past weekend, Gianna had her first real speaking/singing part as Molly in the musical "Annie." For the past several weeks I have seen very little of my little girl. She has done a lot of growing up during this time. She made new friends, learned all her lines, decided upon accessories for her costume, and even packed her own lunches. She did all this without my help. She didn't need me in any of the practical ways that I'm used to her needing me. I was overjoyed and a bit teary eyed about it all.
4. What a difference a year makes. This little boy was so sick last June. He spent some time in CHOP, was failing to thrive, and we were on pins and needles with worry about his health. A year later, he has gained 12 pounds, his health is MUCH improved, and he is enjoying the water. Crazy how much can change in a year!
5. Did you all see this great article in the New Yorker? In case you missed it, it basically lets everyone know that American kids are spoiled rotten. While 3 year olds in tribal cultures are learning how to yield a machete, teenagers in America don't even know how to operate basic household appliances, like a dishwasher. I guess it is complicated to pour in soap and push a button, right? One benefit of having a large family is that the parents are forced to put the kids to work.
6. A facebook friend linked to this story. In summary, a mother of six young kids (ages 2-11) ditched her Suburban for a crazy bike called a bakfiets, and now travels around Portland on the bike with all 6 of her kids. She has lost weight and rid herself of depression, but she admits it isn't for everyone. I can't decide if I think she is insane or I am inspired. Probably a bit of both. Anyone else think MaryAlice should take up biking as her new exclusive method of transportation with her crew? h/t to my friend Alison for the link.
7. And finally, one of the better articles I have read on the Health Care Ruling– A Vast New Taxing Power by the WSJ.

Neurogenesis is simply the growth of nerves. While acute pain may be the result of an offending stimulus to healthy nerves, chronic pain invariably results from some nerve dysfunction or "damage." Nerve repair or regrowth must therefore occur if cure, resolution, or amelioration is to permanently happen. Surprisingly, the term for this process, "neurogenesis," hasn't yet entered the lexicon of pain treatment. I don't recall the term ever being used in a paper submitted to this journal nor do I recall it being used in any of the many research abstracts I've reviewed at the numerous pain conferences I've attended in recent years.
To date, the concept and term 'neurogenesis' has remained the purview of a handful of dedicated animal and bench scientists. This must change. Why? Contrary to the antiquated belief that damaged nerves, including brain tissue, can't regenerate, regrow, or otherwise undergo neurogenesis, it's happening every day in every pain practice in the country. Just recall your own conversations and observations of chronic pain patients. Look at how many no longer have constant pain but now have a few pain free days or hours. Every physician now knows of some chronic pain patients who have so reduced their pain levels that they have totally stopped opioid drugs. Look at the incredible number of pain patients who are progressively improving their quality of life because their pain has permanently reduced in severity. Folks, this is neurogenesis at its best!
Early research has now clearly identified nerve tissue lesions in chronic pain states.1 While investigations involving nerve tissue defects and neurogenesis are just beginning, it is rather axiomatic that adequate pain control may not only prevent nerve tissue lesions but pain treatment—including pharmacologic agents—may act as a "splint" that allows nerve tissue to regenerate. Treatment agents, such serotonergic antidepressants in animal research, may even stimulate neurogenesis.
What's now needed is an understanding of the mechanism of neurogenesis. Clearly, the current standard chronic pain treatment modalities of medication, exercise, psychotherapy, hormone replacement, and dietary supplementation aren't just symptomatic relief. Neurogenesis must be occurring. Physicians everywhere are getting results that indicate organic, physiologic changes have taken place. A lot of the new physiologic techniques, including low level laser and electrical stimulation, may prove to greatly enhance neurogenesis.
This, however, does not invalidate the original prescription of opioids when the patient does get better. It's amazing, for example, how many patients are told they didn't really need opioids or muscle relaxants in the first place since their pain reduced over time. The fact may be that the patient's medication and symptom relief may have allowed a suppressed immune system to gear up and promote neurogenesis. It may well be that current concerns over opioid overuse is really related to neurogenesis. After all, a regrown bunch of nerves and receptors may not need the same amount of opioid today that they did a few months ago. In fact, a bunch of regenerated nerves might just adversely react to a former higher dosage of medication.
The bottom line here is straightforward. We should clearly enunciate for public and patient that our first goal of chronic pain treatment is to provide immediate humanitarian relief of suffering, but the long-term goal is neurogenesis. While the term neurogenesis may initially be a little tough to pronounce for non-medical persons, patients will gladly master it. After all, neurogenesis is truly the word of hope for millions of chronic pain sufferers.

Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, the musical that features a score by U2's Bono and The Edge, is set undergo a major overhaul.
According to The New York Times, insiders say the $65million (£40million) production will cease for three weeks to allow for the changes.
The new delay is the sixth time the musical has had its official opening put back. Production on it began back in 2002, but the public opening will now probably not take place until June.
Rick Miramontez, a spokesman for the show, would not confirm the newspaper's report, telling Reuters: "The production is not confirming any reports of a shutdown."
One reason for this reported new delay could be the scathing reviews the musical received last month. Several prominent critics broke embargos and ran reviews of the show.
The musical has suffered a succession of setbacks since previews began, with injuries to cast members, financial problems and cast changes all contributing to the delay.

After the Angelus on August 3, 2008, the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI said:
Dear Friends,
Next Friday, 8 August, the 29th Olympic Games will begin in Beijing. I am pleased to
address to the host Country, to the organizers and to the participants, and first of all to the athletes, my cordial greeting and the hope that each one may give of his or her best in the genuine Olympic spirit. I am following with deep interest this great sports event – the most important and anticipated in the world – and I warmly hope that it will offer the international community an effective example of coexistence among people of the most different provenances, with respect for their common dignity. May sports once again be a pledge of brotherhood and peace among peoples!
But not all is what it seems to be. One has to wonder how sincere the Chinese government is when there is still evidence of human rights violations and an abuse of power when dealing with religion. Not only are the Tibetans troubled by Chinese control but also Catholics and other Christian groups. The Games' slogan "One World, One Dream" is laughable in front of reality. Whose dream is the Chinese government proposing to realize?
Then there is the matter of freedom of information, that is, lack of adequate and free exchange of ideas. It is a fact many Catholic websites are unable to be accessed in China today. Some of them are the websites of Vatican Radio, the diocese of Hong Kong, the Korean Church and AsiaNews.
And the puzzling thing is seeing a Catholic bishop carrying an Olympic torch on July 31st.
The UCA News reported that Coadjutor Bishop Peter Fang Jianping of Tangshan (Vatican approved) has become the first Catholic bishop to carry the Olympic torch on its way to Beijing. This gesture follows after a Catholic priest did the same in June. While the political issues are always complex the fact remains, Catholics are not free to worship or organize in China and some bishops and priests remain under arrest. It seems to me that Bishop Peter was hoodwinked.
Prayer for Olympics
Everlasting God, giver of joy and source of abundant life,
we pray for all who are involved in the Beijing Olympic Games,
and especially those who represent the United Startes of America:
for their safe-keeping and well-being;
and as we celebrate the skill and resolve of those who compete
we pray that, throughout the Games, there would be
a striving for excellence,
a spirit of humility and fair play,
and a respect for others,
and that all who wait on you may find their strength renewed
in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer courtesy of Rev'd Peter Moger, The Church of England but edited

"New Avengers" #1 written by Jonathan Hickman with art by Steve Epting is a strange first issue. For an Avengers title being sold as the subversive flagship alongside Hickman's core "Avengers" book, this issue is mostly Black Panther and his surrounding mythology. There is some set-up for the Illuminati aspect of the series, but for the most part this issue merely establishes the threat. This would be fine if the threat was clearer in nature, but the ambiguous mystery of it only pulls a thread -- there's no true idea of the metaphorical sweater that's supposed to draw readers in.
If you've ever wanted the Black Panther book back, this issue will please you greatly. Hickman explores T'Challa as the lead character through his subjects, his kingdom's rituals and his ability to launch straight into action. He is a straight back for this title that will provide an interesting point of view for what is about to come. The decision to open in Wakanda amidst a trial for the country's young heroes is an interesting gambit. It feels insular when this title should be more open across many playing fields. The Wakandan stuff is all pretty good, but something about it feels off when applied to the a series called "New Avengers."
The establishment of the villain of the issue, which is obviously leading into bigger things, is obliquely executed. It's not clear who the villain is and what they want is not easily understood. This muddied complication is going to be a hassle for readers jumping into the title. The current argument is whether a first issue needs to explain and answer everything. I believe it certainly doesn't but it should give enough to hook the reader. I didn't find myself drawn into the problem set before T'Challa because it's hinted at having immense power but I don't know what for or why. There are hints for what's coming but not enough is laid out to make me care. Hickman did a tenfold better job of doing this over in "Avengers" #1.
Steve Epting is able to keep up with Hickman's grand ideas, though on a few occasions it feels like he should have been given more room on the page to breathe and deliver a big moment. His world building is dense, his character designs tight and his flow of action reads well. There are times where Frank D'Armata's colors muddy the waters so a second look is required to parse what is specifically occurring. It's a shame to see such great line work rendered with such waxy hues.
"New Avengers" #1 isn't necessarily a bad comic, it's just not good at doing what it really needs to do. For an introductory issue, the core cast is not really established beyond what an editorial caption would cover, the complication is present but not engaging and the course moving forward is a good enough hook but only comes after a full issue of treading water. I am certain this title will improve in the next issue but all I see is a bit of a mess when looking at the debut on its own.

Who made you
Gchat says:
Kat: Nice kitchen yo. Look at you, drawing backgrounds. Is that your kitchen?
James: No. That is the firehall kitchen. Duh.
Kat: -_-
James: I just figured I should nail down the space at some point. Cabinets and fridges are all well and good but what the hell.
Kat: The cool thing about props is that you can imagine them being used.
James: Yup yup.
Kat: It's like when you drew that scene in chatper 2 where they were coming out of the subway – from a reference. It made it feel more real than when ner was talking to Eury. I like it, it feels real.
James: It is real. That's my kitchen.
Kat: So did you open some of the cupboards and draw your own place?
James: No. I just drew a random kitchen. But I have drawn enough kitchens now that I can make them in my head.
More proof that my brother is a compulsive liar.

A LITTLE CUP OF TEA – a great offer from THE LONDON TEA COMPANY – Save 20% on your first order!
When I was growing up, there was very little in our household that couldn't be solved by "a nice cup of tea". The kettle in our house was invariably still hot from having been boiled or being filled with cold water ready to boil again for another pot of tea. My auntie Jan was even worse, I can hear her voice now saying "cup of tea kid"? This wasn't really a question, although it always sounded like it. It was more of a cue to be ready to take a steaming hot mug of tea in your hand a moments notice. She and my uncle George drank gallons of the stuff and made sure that none of her visiting friends and family ever went without a cup of tea in her house for more than a few moments.

Description:"In accordance with provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to adopt the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG)'s Final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report: Bair Island Restoration and Management Plan, Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Bair Island Ecological Reserve (FEIS) to comply with NEPA and for agency decision-making purposes. NOAA's proposed action is to fund a portion of the planning and/or implementation of tidal marsh restoration on the Bair Island complex, with funds from an existing American Recovery and Reinvestment (ARRA) grant (Award # NA09NMF4630318). The site is a large complex of former salt evaporators located adjacent to San Francisco Bay in Redwood City, San Mateo County, California, as described further in the FEIS. NOAA has determined that this FEIS adequately analyzes and discloses the environmental impacts associated with this project. After restoration of the tidal habitats, Bair Island will become part of an extensive wetland complex owned in part by CDFG, but operated and managed by the USFWS as part of the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The goals of the Bair Island Restoration and Management Plan are to restore tidal salt marsh habitat on Bair Island, provide habitat for endangered species and other native wildlife, and enhance the public's appreciation and awareness of the unique resources of Bair Island. Once restored, Bair Island can assist with the preservation and recovery of endangered species California Clapper Rail and the endangered salt marsh harvest mouse. The project will assist with the preservation and recovery of endangered species, improve opportunities for wildlife-oriented recreation in the San Francisco Bay area, and address issues of public safety, invasive species, and refuge operations"--Abstract.
