White Wins Great Southern Acclaim
White Wins Great Southern Acclaim
Great Southern Billiard Tour / Albemarle, NC
by InsidePOOL Staff
Brian White worked his way through the west side of the chart at the March 31-April 1 stop on the Great Southern Billiard Tour to double-dip Ron Park in the final match and claim the title. The $1,500-added stop was hosted by Lucky Shot Billiards in Albemarle, NC, and attracted a field of 52 players.
Park took the winners' side by storm, besting White in the final four 9-9 and then going on to face James Blackburn in the hot seat match. Fresh off a double-hill 7-6 win over Nolan Leonard, Blackburn was unable to stand up to Park, who won their match 9-4.
On the left side of the bracket, White eliminated Kevin Boggs in fifth place 10-8, while Marvin Reed tied with Boggs after a 7-3 defeat by Leonard. White went on to face down Leonard in the quarterfinal match 10-4 to continue his hot streak.
White scored an easy 10-2 victory over Blackburn in the semifinal match to reach Park in the double-elimination finals. On a roll, he notched first a 10-7 win and then a 10-5 victory over Park to take the title.

The LACCDR project is a collaborative effort supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) that aims to engage community-based organizations in providing leadership and partnership to promote community resilience in the face of public health emergencies such as pandemics and disasters.
Community resilience is the capacity of the community as a whole to prepare for, respond to, and recover from adverse events and unanticipated crises that threaten the health of all. Achieving community resilience means involving the full range of community-based organizations and agencies in preparedness, response, and recovery planning activities, and broadening the understanding of disaster preparedness to include community health and well-being.
Community resilience is about transforming disaster planning and response from just "me" to include "we."

Chemical Brothers Do The Salmon Dance
The Chemical Brothers have collaborated with hip hop artist Fatlip (ex-Pharcyde) to launch a multimedia promotion around their track Salmon Dance, including a music video, a facebook application and an online music video competition. The music video, directed by Dom & Nic, features a young boy watching fish dancing in an aquarium.
A young guy is woken from his bed by a faint noise from next door. Walking through, he slowly approaches a large fish tank. As he nears the glass, a large piranha looks out at him and says (lip-synching to the start of the song), "Hello boys and girls, my name is Fatlip, and this is my friend, Sammy the Salmon," at which point a Squirrel Fish (!) introduces himself with a casual, "What do?"
"Today we're going to teach you some fun facts about salmon," Fatlip continues, "And a brand new dance." The beat then kicks in, with a puffer fish inflating and deflating in time to the pulse.
What follows is a sort of hip-hop Billy the Bass meets Busby Berkeley meets Finding Nemo number, as assorted seahorses, lion fish, yellow tangs, neon tetras and butterfly fish disport themselves around the tank, both individually and in aquatic chorus lines. As the dance comes to an end we cut to a pair of model divers in the corner of the tank, who bear a more than passing resemblance to a certain pair of Brothers…
Click on the image below to play the video.
The Salmon Dance music video was directed by Dom & Nic via Factory Films UK, with producer John Madsen.
Visual effects were developed at Framestore, London.
VFX Supervisor and Lead Inferno Artist for the project was Ben Cronin, veteran of many a Dom & Nic project, including Believe. "After some initial discussions," he recalls, "Florent de La Taille, one of our Animators came up with some preliminary fish sketches, from which Dom & Nic could select the direction they wanted to go. The pre-viz gave us a chance to block out some of the big chorus sequences, though not as many as we'd hoped, time being against us." A two-day shoot off Brick Lane saw the necessary plates captured, with challenges successfully overcome including cloudy tank water and a malfunctioning periscope camera.
After a little over two weeks for rigging and so forth, the Commercials 3D team were able to complete work in Maya on some 320 hand-animated fish in just six further weeks. "One thing that really helped along the way," enthuses Lighting TD Simon French, "Was a brilliant dynamic script developed by Junior TD Henry van der Beek for animating the fins and other features. It was a massive time-saver in the animation and brought an extra level of realism to the renders."
"We were using real fish as models," says Animator Michael Mellor, "But they were obviously going to be doing unrealistic things – talking and dancing, to name but two. So the trick was to walk a line between necessary stylization, and an overly 'cartoony' look." Fellow Animator, Nicklas Andersson, agrees. "You can use the natural features of the fish in your favour," he points out, "The piranha, for example, has a certain set to his lips that lends itself to certain expressions – they just look right on his face…"
Telecine for the spot was provided by Framestore CFC Colourist Dave Ludlam. "We arrived at a look early on," he says, "And did a final mastergrade at the end of the job to bring it all together. Obviously, the focus of the spot is the tank, so we tried to keep the room quite dark, bringing out the fluorescent, luminous qualities of the water."
Cronin is clearly very proud of the work the Framestore CFC team have done on The Salmon Dance. He sums up his feelings by pointing out that many people – including the directors – have said that once you've seen the video it becomes impossible to picture the vocalist as anyone other than a piranha. Which is probably as good a definition as any of an animation job well done.

The New CO2 Economy™
Today's Fossil-fuel Economy must be replaced. The rapidly urbanizing globe needs not only the clean, baseload energy source afforded by ECO2G™, but also a way to rid the air of CO2 emitted by legacy fossil fuels (an undertaking made challenging by the cost of capturing and sequestering anthropogenic CO2).
ECO2G™'s business model offers a pathway to a new CO2 Economy™, replacing that of aging fossil fuels. With a rapidly converging set of technologies, hot, pressurized CO2 can be used not only for generating power, but also for higher-value, carbon-negative products, such as synthetic gasoline and diesel fuel, thereby ushering in an era of possibilities: clean, reliable baseload energy; a cost-effective means to capture greenhouse gases; and the affiliated production of potent carbon-negative, fossil-fuel substitutes.
In addition to the basic closed-loop ECO2G™ design, when the time is right and the economics allow them to be feasible, GreenFire Energy has plans to develop additional ECO2G™ technologies that combine CO2 and geothermal heat, several of which are currently in the development stage.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) performs the administrative functions relating to generic top level domain (gTLD) names. Generic top level domain disputes are determined by the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution ("Rules"). ICANN, amongst all its other functions, supervises and administers the UDRP and Rules and handle complaints about registrations.
If you need an opinion on your chances of success to get a top level domain transferred to you, consider the following information and give us all possible details, whereafter we can provide you with our opinion.
To be successful with a complaint under the UDRP, a Complainant must prove:
- a Respondent has registered a domain name identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights,
- the Respondent does not have any rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and
- the domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
Identical or confusingly similar
A Complainant must specify:
- the trademarks or service marks and for each mark and describe the goods or service;
- the manner in which the domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights.
Respondent does not have rights or interest
The following factors may prove that a Respondent does not have legitimate rights to the name:
- the Respondent's use of, or demonstrable preparations to use the domain name or a name corresponding to the domain name is not in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services;
- the Respondent (as an individual, business, or other organization) is not commonly known by the domain name;
- the Respondent is not making legitimate non-commercial or fair use of the domain name without intent for commercial gain, diverting consumers misleadingly or tarnishing the trademark or service mark at issue.
Registered or used in bad faith
In order to prove a registration of bad faith, a Complainant must prove the following:
- circumstances indicating that the Respondent has registered or acquired the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to the Complainant who is the owner of the trademark or service mark or to a competitor of that Complainant, for valuable consideration in excess of the Respondent's documented out-of-pocket costs directly related to the domain name; or
- the Respondent has registered the domain name in order to prevent the owner of the trademark or service mark from reflecting the mark in a corresponding domain name, provided that the Respondent has engaged in a pattern of such conduct; or
- the Respondent has registered the domain name primarily for the purpose of disrupting the business of a competitor; or
- by using the domain name, the Respondent has intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to Respondent's web site or other on-line location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant's mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of its web site or location or of a product or service on its web site or location.

LONGMONT, Colo. — "Get up!" Abe Mares was jolted awake. It was 2:30 a.m., a swollen river was pouring into his home in the mountains of Colorado's Front Range, and his roommate was scrambling.
Seeking higher ground, they retreated with their dogs to the second floor as Colorado's worst flood in years crested around them.
Elsewhere, thousands more people ran for shelter, or just ran for their lives as record-breaking rains swamped fields and tore apart roads, heaping more pain on a state that has been tested by several years of drought and devastating wildfires.
Ranch families had to choose which animals to save and which to abandon. Neighbors camped on one another's floors and waited for rescue. Cars were swept away like bath toys. Two experienced mountaineers huddled together at 13,000 feet on a treacherous peak, stranded by ice storms.
"This one is awful," said Linda Stacy, 57, as she sat outside an evacuation center here.
Four people have died in the floods, and the authorities said Friday that 80 people had been reported as unreachable or missing. With cellphone service down and the power out, some of the missing may simply be unable to communicate with friends or family.
On Friday, thousands more Colorado residents were forced to evacuate their homes in the face of rivers and streams choked by heavy rains, dirt and debris.
In scenes that have become hauntingly familiar, families packed their cars with pets and suitcases and made their way to the nearest church or school that was offering shelter, left to wonder about the fate of their homes and neighbors. Some made it on their own, or in a neighbor's car. Others fled on foot.
Up in the mountains, helicopters flown by the National Guard skimmed over ravaged roads to pluck scores of stranded residents from the flooded town of Jamestown.
Here in Longmont, several miles east of the worst-hit corners of Boulder County, a caravan of yellow school buses arrived at the LifeBridge Christian Church on Friday morning, carrying hundreds of evacuees from Lyons.
They milled quietly in front of the church, waiting to be registered by volunteers, and hoping for a break in the weather.
Many marveled at how swiftly the pounding rains had swamped their homes and carved up the mountainsides, transforming picturesque towns and vacation communities into scenes of waterlogged devastation.
"We've been through floods there before, but this one had a little different taste to it," said William Martin, 88, who has lived in his home since 1955.
Here in the Mountain West, it is a cliché — but often true — that people come for the winters and stay for the summers. As the snows melt, the valleys echo with bluegrass concerts and summer festivals, and car roofs bloom with mountain bikes, road bikes, kayaks and camper shells.
As gateways to Rocky Mountain National Park, the towns of Lyons and Estes Park, in particular, bustle with summertime traffic. Campers and minivans full of tourists and day trippers meander through town, using it as a base camp for adventures, or just stopping for coffee at the Barking Dog Cafe, or for roadside pies at the Colorado Cherry Company.
"The street during this time of year is still bustling with people," said Sarah Lewis, 22, who works at a hotel in Estes Park. "Now, it's filled with water."
Video shot by The Estes Park News showed muddy water churning through downtown. Residents said that the floods had ripped apart asphalt roads as if they were strands of black licorice.
Like others who did not leave before the deluge, Ms. Lewis was stranded in her duplex in Estes Park on Friday, the road at the bottom of her neighborhood impassable.
Two seasoned mountaineers, Connie Yang and Suzanne Turell, visiting Colorado from their home in Maine, were marooned by the storm for nearly two days on Longs Peak, a popular but sometimes dangerous mountain that is the tallest in Rocky Mountain National Park.
On Thursday morning, Ms. Yang's sister received a text message from the women saying, "We need help" and "Whiteout snow storm," and providing their coordinates. After several frantic hours, the families learned that the women had made it down on their own.
On Friday, the storms that had soaked a 150-mile swath of Colorado began to ease, giving some residents their first peek of blue sky in days. Kari Bowen, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Boulder, said the rains were expected to continue intermittently through the weekend before tapering off on Monday.
But the authorities cautioned that any new rain would fall on ground already saturated by nearly a foot of precipitation. Recent wildfires that have burned trees and underbrush have made some hillsides especially vulnerable to landslides and floods, meteorologists said.
"There's nothing to capture that water," Ms. Bowen said. "When you have a lot of rain, it just wants to flow right off."
Mr. Mares, who was jolted awake at 2:30 a.m. on Thursday by the sound of the St. Vrain River hurtling into his house, described how he, his roommate and their two dogs, Bentley and Buddy, had forded the rapids and scrambled for safety.
"It was up to our hips and moving really, really fast," Mr. Mares said. "It was very intense and very scary. The whole town was flooded."

Kathleen Lurley Brown was born June 5, 1990. Born in Worland, she flew into this world a "Lurley" bird. With a gentle nature and a soft heart she soared through life and even though her flight ended early, to those of us who loved her it was beautiful nonetheless. She was a daughter, sister, aunt, Gemini, and most importantly, a kind, compassionate soul who put others first. Her parents and two brothers will miss her bright smile.
Kathleen was independent and did life her way. She touched many souls and brought joy to those around her due to her zest for life. She loved everybody.
Kathleen was taken from us Saturday, May 31, 2014. She is survived by her parents Darrell and Mary Brown, brothers Kyle and Josh, all of Basin, many cousins, aunts and uncles, but to her all were her family.
She moved to Billings to pursue a dream, to be independent and to find out what she wanted to do with her life. She went to go to Beauty School because of her desire to make it on her own. She had a knack for makeup and doing her friends' hair, but she decided that her true passion was children and with that, had decided to become a teacher. She wanted to give all kids love and felt that this would be the perfect way to do it.
A service for Kathleen will be held at a later date. A notice will be in the paper as to when and where. We would like all that were touched by her to join us.

Creating an Outline for your Message
4 Stages of Creating Your Message
The most important part of any communication message usually happens before the message is delivered. Unfortunately often people don't spend enough time and thought planning what to say. Usually when we are tasked with delivering or creating a message, we immediately start writing. This reduces the number of options we have to truly shape our message, blurs the main focus of the message and reduces overall effectiveness.
There are 4 stages to message creation that we are going to explore. They are as follows:
It may seem like a lot of time to spend before actually writing the message (and time is money!) but there are a few benefits of writing the outline.
- Shape a Clearer Message : Preparing your outline increases the accuracy and effectiveness of your message. Getting a message out quickly is useless if people don't fully understand you, and a waste of time if you have to write it again.
- Allow to Create Many Messages : One outline can be used to create many different messages in different formats. This can actually save you time!
- Helps you to Better Understand your Task : Planning the outline helps you learn more about what you need to do, which can improve your assessment of the message, improve the message (and objective of the message) and create better messages in the future.
For every message that we write, we should do some planning beforehand. It will take a little more time, but what's the point of saving time if your message is not effective?

Claro Road Letters
Claro, the biggest mobile phone company in Latin America, launched a series of posters using typography to remind drivers about the dangers of texting while driving. Traffic accidents due to texting while driving are increasing at the same rate as smartphone sales in Brazil. The letters A, S, I and T are presented in ways that show the impact one letter can have on the lives of drivers and people surrounding them. The Portuguese message, "Basta uma letra. Enquanto dirige, não envie torpedos", translated in English, "One letter is all it takes. Don't text and drive". The posters were displayed in more than 1,000 Claro stores and people started talking about it on Facebook, blogs and websites. The campaign won a Gold Press Lion and Bronze Outdoor Lion at Cannes International Festival of Creativity.
The Road Letters campaign was developed at Ogilvy Brasil, São Paulo, by chief creative officer Anselmo Ramos, executive creative directors Claudio Lima and Fred Saldanha, creative director Andre Kirkelis, copywriter Hugo Veiga, art director/illustrator Diego Machado, illustrators at Full Frame, account director Valeria Barone, account supervisor Camila Porto, planner Kajsa Mclaren, and Claro marketing manager Erik Fernandes.

"In a museum setting, once 'unmentionable' topics are connected to physical objects that illustrate a moment in time, or a social movement, or a person, or a place. While many subjects are no longer shocking per se, seeing the object that represents that story can be uncomfortable to look at. It can also be difficult for a museum to figure out when to display that item and how to tell its story. And that's what Unmentionable: The Indiscreet Stories of Artifacts is all about: the unusual, icky, scandalous, disturbing, awful, uncomfortable and surprising artifacts in museum collections all in one place.
A few artifacts may not have been displayed because the item represents or illustrates a controversial moment in history. Some artifacts have been displayed before, because they're cool looking or relate to a certain period, but the story of the artifact itself—what it is, what it was used for, who owned it—wasn't fully explored because that story was not necessarily a pleasant one.
Other items may not seem so scandalous now but were at one time because they are the type of item that was not generally discussed in "polite" society. There are artifacts that are commonplace, things we've all seen before, but don't really think about what the item is for or how it was used.
The exhibition highlights not only the stuff we don't talk about but gives a peak behind the curtain of museum collections and practices. Just because an artifact could be considered scandalous, outrageous, gross, unseemly, odd, disturbing, controversial or unimportant by some doesn't mean we shouldn't collect it. Those artifacts could and will become important to future generations to understand what a place, a people, a person, or eras were like."
- Diane Curry, the originating curator
The exhibition is designed to mimic the concept of the "cabinet of curiosities," and each artifact is treated as a specimen. Each object receives its own detailed label with the object name, date, catalog number, category, description, curator's note, and donor. The design can easily be adjusted for any gallery space and exhibit furniture.
Examples of artifacts that can be displayed in this exhibition include:
The fee for this exhibition includes the following materials (unlimited usage within a single institution):
Unmentionable: The Indiscreet Stories of Artifacts is modeled on the original exhibition from the Hayward Area Historical Society in Hayward, CA and facilitated by Exhibit Envoy.

Mr. Freeze Gameplay Trailer
Well, Batman: Arkham City is just a few short months away and from everything that I've seen, it looks to be shaping up into an amazing and breathtaking game…could it perhaps become game of the year? Even if it doesn't I have no doubts that it will find its way on to people's top 10 lists.
Every now and then new content is thrown at us and I just wanted to share the brand new Mr. Freeze trailer!
Freeze, makes his video game debut on the current gen of consoles. I have no idea as to what type of role he will play in terms of story, but we all know there is one thing that the doctor does care about, and that is seeing his beloved wife Nora returned to him. Perhaps Batman will make some sort of the deal with Freeze? Maybe Batman will pummel him and send him back to Arkham Asylum? Who knows what will happen, but Freeze has been put on the list of other notable villains that will be featured in the game.
Check out his awesome trailer!
Batman Arkham Asylum Sequel has a name
Batman: Arkham Asylum was arguably one of the best games of 2009. In fact this was THE BEST Batman game ever created! The amount of time and energy that was put into the game was well worth it. And Rocksteady Studios should give themselves a round of applause for delivering a beautiful and well crafted game.
That game pleased Batman fans around the world and you know what, Rocksteady wants to offer you some more. A sequel to the game was announced after the release of the first game, but it didn't have a name…until now that is. Batman Arkham City has a scheduled release date for Fall 2011. Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy reprise their roles as Joker and Batman respectively. And we are also introduced to a new group of villains as well that I'm sure Bat fans will know. Rumor has it that villains such as Two-Face, Catwoman, Mr. Freeze, and Talia Al-Ghul shall make appearances within the game, but of course these are just rumors as there is no proof as to who will be in it. Everything is tight lipped as of right now, but I'm sure as the year goes by we will be seeing a lot more. Here is a trailer to wet your appetite!
Out of all the villains I have come to known out of the comic book universe I must say that Joker is by far one of my favourites….I'm not crazy, I swear……………………..Enjoy!

4 comments:
Very fitting way to celebrate the Labor Day holiday! I so admire your patriotic fervor and willingness to bleed that checkbook for a good cause.ReplyDelete
I do hope you like your new purchases. Thank you for being such a patriotic couple! I don't buy stuff like that since I'm a renter, but you make me want to. :-)ReplyDelete
I liked those colorful refrigerators! I had a copper refrig. when I was first married in the 70's.Like you, we are in a home with very old appliances and finally had to update,I ,too,am now "stainless" and au courant or not, it will serve me till it dies!! I do love to cook, and we eat 3 meals a day here at home..we love good food..so good appliances in working order is a MUST!ReplyDelete
This post got me fired up (well sorta) for the current challenge--buying a new snow blower to replaced one that died. And I needed a jolt into action. A whole lot of snow will appear here in southwestern Michigan very soon. Arghh.ReplyDelete

Yesterday after work I was catching up on my Twitter stream when I saw that Velvet Cupcakes at the mall (which I first blogged last November) announced they were now serving pour over cups of Intelligentsia coffee. As of right now, Undergrounds is the only other place doing so in SCV, so of course I was excited. By now you are all fully aware of our coffee snobbery, and how the SCV Crew makes frequent trips to Intelli just to get our fix, and other third wave shops throughout LA. So hearing that I could get some orange bag Intelli goodness so close to home, and at a cupcake shop totally made my day.
Before trivia, N8 and I met up for dinner and stopped by Velvet Cupcakes for some coffee. The girls working were really nice to us, and talked us through the pour over method. Although we are super familiar with this (coffee snobs remember) it was nice to see these girls so excited to prepare our cups of coffee!
Each cup of coffee you order starts with freshly ground beans and ends up as a fresh cup. Sure it may take a little longer, but it is so worth it!
And…as if that wasn't enough…as we were drinking our coffee, we were told that starting Friday they would be selling Banana Pudding.
I was so incredibly excited! Those of you that remember my birthday, 2010 remember that HUGE bowl of Banana Pudding that we couldn't stop gushing over. Well, instead of having to go to Magnolia Bakery in LA…I can now just go to the patios and not only get myself a cup of Intelli, but also some of the best banana pudding, ever? Jackpot! Nate had to hear me gush about this banana pudding all evening. As did everyone I saw at trivia…
So, SCV…have I let you down yet? Trust me on this one! Head over to Velvet Cupcakes for a cup of coffee and some banana pudding. You can thank me later! And, if you have heard us tweet and blog and talk about our love of coffee and have wondered what all the Intelli fuss is about? Now you can check it out for yourself! Do @mic_dee a favor though, try it without the cream and sugar? Just once!
Oh, and of course! You can't forget the cupcakes!

The total surface of ICO will amount to 300 ha, allowing to handle 16 vessels simultaneously. The expansion will also allow ICO to connect the existing Hanze terminal with the Bastenaken terminal.
With the expansion, volume growth, its dedicated staff and the terminal's unique location, ICO upholds its status as a world leading car handling terminal. Managing Director of ICO, Marc Adriansens, states that focus is also on creating a 'green' terminal (solar panels, windmills, clean electricity, cold ironing, etc.)

The Christmas season is surrounded by a feeling of joy and family traditions. However, the Christmas season has a much darker side. It results in tons of waste. One million tons a week, to be blunt. Everything from artificial trees, to inefficient lighted decorations, to gift wrap, to Christmas cards, and the plastic junk everyone got everyone else for Christmas all results in a huge carbon footprint.
So, in the spirit of the season of giving, why don't we give back to the planet that affords us so much? We are all stewards of this land we call home, we can all make a difference. Here are ideas for a more sustainable Christmas.
16 Ideas for a More Sustainable Christmas
1. Reusable Gift Wrap
Gift wrap makes up a ton of waste every year. Most people don't bother with recycling, and even if they do, the idea isn't perfect. Plus, it's incredibly expensive! So, how about making your own gift wrap? Burlap wrapped with twine or even a pretty cloth bow is elegant and beautiful. You can reuse these year after year! Here's a few great tutorials:
Sew a Gift Bag in 4 Easy Steps – Brown Thumb Mama
Recycled Christmas Card Boxes – The Free Range Life
Green Gift Wrap – Better Hens & Gardens
How to Wrap Presents Without Wasteful Gift Wrap – The Domestic Wildflower
2. Replant your Christmas Tree
Yes, yes you can replant your Christmas tree. Artificial is not usually the way to go (except my friend Jess over here at the 104 Homestead does have a compelling argument as to why artificial may be better for you). Despite the fact that artificial trees are used for an average of 8 years, most people toss them. Unless you live in an area where you can recycle it (our local recycling does not accept artificial trees), or you try to donate it, it's going to wind up in a landfill, lasting forever. Also, a tree grown, even on a tree farm, helped produce oxygen the entire time it was here. The carbon footprint is not near as large as an artificial tree manufactured with petroleum products overseas. So, buy a real tree and replant it when you're finished. Stay tuned for how to do that….
3. Recycle your Christmas Tree or Use an Alternative to the traditional Tree
The thought of having to go through the hassle of planting a tree not worth it to you? That's ok! There are ways to recycle it. You can find a place that mulches Christmas trees for other uses or use this fantastic idea on your homestead:
Christmas Trees and Goats – Idlewild Alaska
Don't want to do that either? How about Alternatives to traditional Christmas trees? Here's a great post on that:
Unique Homemade Christmas Trees – The Untrained Housewife
4. Send out Fewer Christmas Cards (or don't at all)
Christmas cards are nice. It's pleasant to see a festive card in the mailbox instead of a bill, I'll admit. There are over 2.5 billion Christmas cards sold in the United States alone every season. That's a lot of paper which accounts for a lot of trees. Think about what you do with your Christmas cards after the season is over…. Only send out a few important ones instead of everyone in your address book. When you're finished displaying yours after the season is over, be sure to use the tutorial above to make some Christmas boxes!
5. Travel Less
I'm not saying don't go see your family across the country for the holiday. I'm saying, decrease the amount of traveling you do. Opt for a more simple Christmas and stay at home. Go to the important events that you don't want to miss and stay out of the shopping malls. Which brings me to another point….
6. Think Before You Buy
Anyone who has followed along on The Rustic Elk very long knows I don't like plastic. There is very little sway in this. Only a handful of plastic items will ever plant their presence under our holiday tree. So, instead of buying the latest, plastic, popular, must-have, think twice. Seek out more sustainable options by finding fair trade companies, looking for locally sourced, handmade products, or making your own. Here are some great gift ideas:
Gifts for Homesteaders to Share This Season – Rabbit Ridge Farm
Free Handmade Gifts Using What You Already Have – A Modern Homestead
10 Gift Ideas for Homesteading Mommas – The Rustic Elk
7. Keep Your Goodies Local and Organic Whenever Possible
We all indulge in the convenience of packaged goods now and again, even the most foodie person of us all. We'd be lying if we said we didn't. However, when making your holiday goodies and meals, try to source local and organic ingredients. Use things you have preserved yourself when possible and go from there. Amazingly, you can usually source local ingredients year-round for a large portion of your holiday cooking. This reduces your footprint (less shipping travel), supports local, small, farmers, supports the local economy and organic is better for you and the environment!
8. Buy a Pasture Raised (preferably local) Ham or Turkey
If you've got the means to raise your own hog or turkey and cure your own holiday ham, go for it, seriously! We don't (yet), so our Christmas meal will be made using not only local, organic ingredients, but a local, pasture raised, cured ham as well. While it's important to know where your food comes from, I believe this is especially true of your meat. I feel a lot better knowing that the ham on my table came from a well treated, healthy, happy hog.
9. Decorate With Natural, Handmade & Recycled Products
Like I stated earlier, avoid the plastic. Also avoid the prefab, run of the mill ornaments. Make a tradition of making your own ornaments using reusable resources and recycled products. Enlist the help of your children! Not only will your decorations be more sustainable, they'll also be more unique and memorable. Don't go overboard, but enjoy yourself! Here are some great tutorials on some handmade ornaments:
Beautiful Natural Pine Cone Ornaments – Better Hens & Gardens
Wine Cork Ornaments – Better Hens & Gardens
Christmas Ornaments from Aluminum Cans- Yearning & Learning
Decorating a Live Indoor Christmas Tree – Untrained Housewife
10. Use LED Lighting
Gone are the days we use candles to light up our trees (thankfully). A little tidbit of information, it was 1882 that the first electrically illuminated Christmas tree was displayed. Wow! Anyway, also gone are the days of expensive, power sucking miniature lights. While led bulbs to cost a bit more to invest in, they'll use so much less power and they'll last a lot longer than traditional bulbs. So, use some leds on your Christmas tree and for your other lit decorations.
11. Unplug the Lights and Appliances
Contrary to what my kids seem to think, you don't need to leave your Christmas lights (or little used appliances) plugged in all hours of the day. We light our tree for about 4 hours a day, maximum. The lights go on at dark and go off at bed time. The only day this isn't true is Christmas eve where we will leave the tree lit overnight.
As for appliances, don't leave things you're not using plugged in. There is such a thing as drawing power even though the appliance is turned off. If you're leaving for a weekend or longer trip, unplug even things you use on the daily (except for the obvious, like your refrigerator).
12. Turn Down the Thermostat
It's cold outside (well, it's supposed to be, though it seems to be chickening out) and of course we don't want it cold inside. That doesn't mean it needs to be a sauna. Turn down your thermostat even a degree and save some fuel (be it electricity or actual fuel) and in turn save some money. It's better for the environment and your pocket book will sing hallelujah.
Leaving on a weekend or longer trip? Turn it down even further! No since keeping a toasty warm, empty house 🙂.
13. Burn Natural Candles for Natural Light
Candles are a great alternative to electric light. As long as you avoid paraffin, petroleum derived candles you're doing good. They create ambient light, they're economical, and you can make them yourself. Try these tutorials below:
How to Make Beeswax Candles – The Rustic Elk
Jar Candles from Deer Fat – Live the Old Way note: you could use any fat.
14. Compost your Waste
Billions of pounds of food are wasted each year in the world. Billions! You can help decrease this by composting some of that food waste. You can compost your fruits and vegetables along with your Christmas tree as far as everything is concerned. So, what better time than now to start a compost pile to feed your garden?!
15. Take your Shopping Bag With You
This should go for more than just Christmas, but we can start here. When you go out shopping, take reusable bags with you. No need for all of those plastic bags. Reduce waste and your footprint by using reusable, cloth shopping bags.
16. Remember What This Season Brings
It's not about accumulating more. It's about spending time with your loved ones. Enjoying the traditions and the memories made. Drop the hustle and bustle, slow down, and enjoy the moment. That in and of itself will help you have a more sustainable Christmas.
These are just the tip of the iceberg on ways that you can make your Christmas more sustainable. Also, it doesn't just stop with the holidays, you can live this way all the time!

Former CSU star Crockett Gillmore says Ravens have 'championship attitude'
PITTSBURGH — Taking names and crushing dreams.
The Baltimore Ravens, the underdog nobody wants to see in the playoffs, are up to their old tricks. The Ravens upset the Steelers 30-17 on Saturday night at Heinz Field, a convincing win behind Joe "Cool" Flacco and an opportunistic defense.
Flacco, the new Eli Manning, continues to play his best when it matters most. A pedestrian quarterback during the regular season, he delivered a performance that conjured memories of his magical 2012 Super Bowl lap. Flacco finihsed 18-for-29 for 259 yards and two scores. He had just five completions for 74 yards at halftime before connecting on scores to Torrey Smith and former CSU star Crockett Gillmore, helping the Ravens advance to face the top-seeded New England Patriots.
"You have to play these games to win. You can't play these games not to lose," Flacco said. "It's about playing aggressive football, not having a conscience."
Terrell Suggs shoved Flacco into position to seal coach John Harbaugh's seventh playoff road win, matching the NFL record. With the Ravens leading 23-15, Pittsburgh running back Ben Tate, signed earlier in the week, missed a block on the blitz, leaving quarterback Ben Roethlisberger eluding the rush. Roethlisberger escaped and tried to flip a desperate pass to Tate. Tate missed it. Pass protection and catching the ball out of the backfield are strengths of the injured Le'Veon Bell, the play explaining why he was sorely missed.
After Tate couldn't corral the pass, it landed in linebacker Suggs' belly. He fell to the ground and pinched the football between his knees, somehow preventing it from touching the soggy Heinz Field turf.
"Coach said it was the best interception he's ever seen," Suggs said with a smile. "I think he's just gassing me up because we got the turnover."
Flacco capitalized, finding Gillmore open for an easy 21-yard touchdown. Flacco faked the handoff to Justin Forsett, and the linebackers bit. It left Gilmore uncovered.
"They kind of lost me," Gillmore said. "It was a nice little scamper into the end zone. I don't think there was every a doubt we would win. As soon as the game plan was put in on Monday and Tuedsay we were ready. We are not here to sit out. We are here to play. If you can't contribute, you won't be a Raven. We have a championship attitude."
News and notes:
- Steelers coach Mike Tomlin on not having Bell: "You play with who is available. We are not going to let that be the story of the game. You move on. There will be no excuses."
- Suggs in the locker room afterward. "There won't be any traffic (problems) getting out of here tonight."
- Ravens WR Steve Smith Sr. on the win, "As a kid you grow up wanting to play in an atmosphere like this."
- Roethlisberger passed Terry Bradhshaw for the most completions in Steelers' postseason history. His 31 completions set a playoff career-high. "I just didn't make enough plays. I didn't play well enough to win. Guys look to me as the leader and to do what it takes to win and I didn't do that today," Roethlisberger said.
- Tate, who started in place of Bell, had four carries for 17 yards on the first drive. He finished with five carries for 19 yards.

DESCRIPTION: Here at Nineveh Working Aussies our goal is to produce dogs that are strong on cattle for both ranching and trialing. We believe that Aussies are the ultimate working companion. Strong working instinct is a must, along with good dispositions, and sound minds and structures. All of our dogs are OFA'd and eyes cleared before breeding. Their working style is assessed to allow for the best possible cross. Hangin' Tree is dominant in our bloodlines. I was impressed by the line early on with their power, stock savviness, and low heeling. Like the Quarter Horse, the Aussie is very versatile. I like that our dogs are athletic enough for agility and quiet enough to be therapy dogs. I just love these aussies!

Indonesian Ministry of Transportation's Training Agency Selects Transas Simulators
Transas Marine Pacific Pte Ltd (TMP) in cooperation with PT MultiIntegra (Transas Group distributor in Indonesia) have successfully accomplished two simulator projects in Indonesia. Merchant Marine Schools BP2IP Mauk Tangerang and BP2IP Aceh have extended their training capabilities by adding Engine Room Simulators and a Full Mission Ship Handling Simulator to existing training facilities. Both schools are a part of the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation's Education Training Agency.
Under the contract BP2IP Tangerang Marine School acquired a new Engine Room Simulator. The Marine School BP2IP Aceh purchased an Engine Room Simulator, GMDSS simulator and a Full Mission Ship Handling Simulator with visualization incorporating seven channels. Each project is a turnkey project solution covering design, supply, installation, commissioning and training. These projects maximize local knowledge, particularly regarding installation, civil work and also of new Indonesian exercise areas.
"The combined ability of Transas and PT MultiIntegra to add local value is the main reason why we were awarded the contracts", said Aloys Sutarto, Managing Director of PT MultiIntegra.
Capt. Edy Santoso, Director of Merchant Marine School BP2IP Mauk Tangerang commented: "We are very happy with this new simulator; not only because our school now has more facilities but also because the Transas product offers functionalities beyond our expectations. Another key issue is that we don't have to worry about maintenance and after sales services in the future because we know from experience the capabilities of PT MultiIntegra as Transas Agent in Indonesia".

The idea for a professional association for clinical psychologists began in the early 2000 with a handful of clinical psychologists working towards having a professional voice and registration to protect professional integrity as well as public interest. Due to the small number of available clinical psychologists then it took a number of years before more clinical psychologists became interested in setting up a professional organization. Issues that led to the need for a professional association included professional registration, representation, regulation, and indemnity. Meetings were held in Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Health Psychology Unit of UKM's Kuala Lumpur campus, as well as at HELP University College in building up and refining objectives for a professional association.
By 2009, a committed group began working towards setting up a protem committee for what we now know as the Malaysian Society of Clinical Psychology. A meeting of around 40 clinical psychologists in Dec 2009 elected a protem committee that then worked on registering the Society with the Registrar of Societies.
This protem committee was:
It is also important to acknowledge the pioneering work of those who laid the foundations of building our new association since the beginnings in 2001. There are too many names to mention because we received many contributions from all over.
It is also important to mention that the development and establishment of this Society has been given support by the psychiatrist community as well as other health sciences professionals.

This is the second phase of building the Hydrologic Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) model for the Buffalo River watershed. The project will result in a completed model including necessary calibration and validation phases.
This project will continue to develop, and calibrate/validate the hydrology of an Hydrological Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) watershed model for the Buffalo River watershed. The consultant will add representation of point source discharges to the model. The consultant will compile flow data for the purposes of calibration and validation. An initial hydrologic calibration will be performed and submitted for approval.
The goal of this project is to address public comments on the public noticed draft Watershed Restoration & Protection Strategy (WRAPS) study and Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) report for the watershed, and to produce a final draft WRAPS study and TMDL report ready for final approval by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA).
The Buffalo River Watershed Pilot Project is one of two pilots in Minnesota designed to develop a watershed approach for managing Minnesota's surface waters. The goal of this project is to develop a plan that will guide surface water quality management throughout the watershed.
This project will support a civic engagement cohort that will be offered in southwest Minnesota to foster partnering and build capacity of local government, organizations, and residents for effective civic engagement in water protection and restoration. This project will also build networks and the skill set of local resource professionals to do effective civic engagement work for water restoration and protection. The cohort will be administered through the Minnesota River Board (MRB), established in 1995 with a goal of focusing water management efforts on the local level.
The goal of this project is to construct, calibrate, and validate a Hydrological Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) model for Minnesota portions of the Des Moines River watershed.
This project will develop a watershed wide Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) study and River Eutrophication Standard (RES) TMDL report for water quality impairments in the Des Moines River basin, which includes the Des Moines River Headwaters, Lower Des Moines River, and East Fork Des Moines River watersheds.
The goal of this project is to create a contact strategy for community/landowner opportunities, obstacles, and opinions on land management and water quality that will result in the identification of restoration and protection strategies for the East Fork Des Moines River watershed.
This leadership workshop series will provide the participants (citizen leaders) with knowledge, skills, processes and tools that can help to strengthen their current efforts and nurture new ones.
This project will maximize the utility and usefulness of three HSPF models that have been constructed and calibrated for hydrology. The contractor will identify and reduce parameterization errors in the following three HSPF models: 1) Buffalo River Watershed, 2 ) Thief River Watershed, 3) Bois de Sioux-Mustinka Watersheds. This will result, not only in a better hydrology calibration, but will also improve each of the models' ability to more accurately estimate sediment and pollutant loads and concentrations.
This project will support construction of three watershed framework models built using the Hydrologic Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF). These executable models will simulate hydrology at the subbasin scale. An HSPF model will be built for each of these major watersheds: Crow Wing River, Redeye River, and Long Prairie River.
This project will continue HSPF watershed model construction beyond the initial framework development. The consultant will add representation of point source discharges to the model. The consultant will also compile flow data for the purposes of calibration and validation. Finally, an initial hydrologic calibration will be performed and submitted for approval.
This project is for constructing, calibrating, and validating a Hydrologic Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) watershed models for the Minnesota portions of the Des Moines Headwaters, Lower Des Moines, and East Fork Des Moines watersheds. The model can be used to provide information to support conventional parameter Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) reports. This model generates predicted output timeseries data for hydrology, sediment, nutrients, and dissolved oxygen that are consistent with observed data.
The purpose of this project is to identify effective irrigation and nutrient management best management practices and technologies and the barriers that prevent irrigators, producers, and other agricultural partners from adopting them in Otter Tail County. The primary goal is to reduce nitrate in areas where groundwater is susceptible to contamination as mapped by The Minnesota Department of Health by identifying effective BMPs and addressing the barriers to their adoption.
The goal of this project is to develop a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for all impaired stream reaches and lakes within the Long Prairie and Red Eye Watersheds.
This project is to finalize the Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) and Watershed Restoration & Protection Strategies (WRAPS) for the Red Eye and Long Prairie Watersheds.
Martin SWCD is proposing to monitor three lakes sites and three stream sites in the East Fork Des Moines River watershed. The lake sites will be monitored by kayak and the stream sites will be monitored from the shore. Sites will be analyzed for field conditions and water chemistry.
The Minnesota Ag Water Quality Certification Program (MAWQCP) is a voluntary opportunity for farmers and agricultural landowners to take the lead on implementing conservation practices that protect water quality. Those who implement and maintain approved conservation practices will be certified and in turn obtain regulatory certainty for a period of ten years. This program will help address concerns about changing regulatory requirements from multiple state and federal agencies.
This project supports monitoring and assessment activities by MPCA EAO staff and includes lab analysis, equipment, and fieldwork expenses associated with monitoring and assessment activities.
Lake Monitoring: Lakes are monitored for nutrients, clarity and other information to provide the data needed to assess the aquatic recreation use support.
This project supports monitoring and assessment activities by MPCA EAO staff and includes lab analysis, equipment, fieldwork, data management, and interpretation expenses associated with monitoring and assessment activities.The ambient groundwater monitoring network describes the current condition and trends in Minnesota's groundwater quality.
The Greater Blue Earth River Basin Alliance (GBERBA) along with Soil and Water Conservation Districts, Counties, landowners, and drainage authorities in the ten member counties will install conservation drainage practices to improve water quality. 103E drainage systems with documented sediment or water quality issues are the focus with the goal of installing 52 practices such as improved side inlets (grade stabilization structures), alternative tile inlets, denitrifying bioreactors, saturated buffers, storage wetlands and others.
The Otter Tail County Community Partners Grant Project will enable community groups to go beyond planning and take action to protect their water resources. This grant program will provide targeted community groups with the means to make positive improvements now and identify high priority projects for future opportunities. Engaging community members in the identification of water protection opportunities with the data in recently completed lake assessment reports will help build connections and foster a stewardship ethic.
This Initiative is a nine-year plan to take a systematic approach to inventory and analyze all Public Waters within the County. Phase 1 includes identifying areas of concern through GIS analysis of current landuse along Public Waters, and the development of a database of non-compliant landowners which will be updated and maintained. Once landowners have been identified they will receive a joint letter and map stating that they may not be in compliance.
The purpose of this project is to develop a detailed tool that can be used in all watersheds within the Otter Tail and Becker counties to prioritize, target, and measure implementation practices at the field scale. The PTM App will significantly increase the targeting capabilities in Otter Tail and Becker Counties. The Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy has not been completed for Otter Tail County, yet, and the PTM App will be able to assist targeting and prioritizing when those documents are created.
The Prioritization, Targeting, and Measuring Water Quality Improvement Application (PTMA) connects the general qualitative strategies in a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) and Watershed Restoration and Protection (WRAP) and the identification of implementable on-the-ground Best Management Practices (BMPs). Leveraging geospatial data from the International Water Institute this application will be developed for two pilot areas within the Red River Basin.
This project will result in the development of three critical pieces of information. They include: 1. Development of restoration and protection strategies for all waterbodies in the district relative to the State's Non-point Source Funding plan 2. Use of PTMApp to tie the WRAPs implementation tables from the Buffalo and Red River Watersheds to targeted on-the-ground projects and practices that will provide measurable water quality improvements, and 3.
Realizing the need for increased technical capacity in the field offices, the Becker, East Otter Tail and West Otter Tail Soil and Water Conservation Districts have developed an agreement that will increase technical capacity while minimizing costs to each district. The first step was taken in this agreement through the recent hire of a shared engineer. Currently, minimal survey grade equipment is owned by the districts. This grant will be used to purchase an integrated survey system.
The goal of this project is to engage citizens in local watershed monitoring, work with regional partners to promote understanding and protection of watersheds, and organize and facilitate gathering of scientific data for the benefit of water quality in the Red River Basin.
The purpose of this project is to improve understanding of primary productivity in the Red River and the diversity and population structure of the algal communities occurring along the river system. This will be accomplished through taxonomic identification of periphyton and phytoplankton assemblages necessary for characterizing responses to nutrient gradients along the Red River of the North.
This project will develop an effective transferable model to engage and educate watershed residents, stakeholders and others to better understand and protect watershed ecostystems through environmental monitoring, training, and formal and informal education programs in their local watershed. The project will build on the foundation of the existing Red River Basin River Watch program by strengthening three main activity areas: 1) curriculum integration and teacher training, 2) youth leadership and civic engagement, and 3) applied research collaboration and watershed science skills building.
International Water Institute (IWI) staff will monitor 24 sites in the Bois de Sioux, Mustinka (2 sites), Buffalo (8 sites), Red Lake (4 sites), Sandhill (3 sites), Thief (2 sites), and Tamarac River (3 sites) Watersheds intensively over a 2 year period in an attempt to collect 25 samples per year at each site. If conditions allow for the collection of all planned samples, 1200 stream samples will be collected over the time period. Monitoring will include field measurements, observations, and at least three photographs during each site visit.
MN Legislative Clean Water Fund funding to engage citizens in local watershed monitoring, work with regional partners to promote understanding and protection of watersheds, and organize and facilitate gathering of scientific data all for the benefit of water quality in the Red River Basin.
This project is for Minnesota Legislative Clean Water Fund funding to engage citizens in local watershed monitoring, to work with regional partners to promote understanding and protection of watersheds, and to organize and facilitate gathering of scientific data all for the benefit of water quality in the Red River Basin.
This project will monitor streams in target watersheds located in Ottertail and Wadena counties. Six sites have been identified by MPCA for biological monitoring; this project will complete the chemical and field analysis at these six sites.
Native trout require clean, cold water that usually originates from springs, but the springs feeding the 173 designated trout streams in southeastern Minnesota are under increasing pressure from current and expected changes in land use. This joint effort by the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is working to identify and map the springs and the areas that feed water to these springs and to learn how these waters might be affected by development and water use.
This project will provide the monitoring of reaches where there are data gaps, incorporate new data and analyze relevant data, identify pollutant sources, hold a stakeholder meeting, and gather information towards the future development of a Draft Restoration (TMDL) and Protection Plan.

New Enforcement Rules for the New York Petroleum Bulk Storage Program
On July 21, 2009, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ("DEC") began enforcing certain modifications to the New York State Petroleum Bulk Storage ("PBS") program. The major modifications to the PBS program include revision to the definitions of "facility" and "petroleum" to include tanks that were not formerly regulated by the DEC under the PBS program. As discussed below, although the latter modification has a direct impact upon the regulation of "operational tanks," including transformers containing dielectric or other oil, the DEC has decided to exercise its discretion at this time and not assess owners of such tanks for violation of the PBS regulations.
Prior to the recent revisions, a facility was subject to regulation under the PBS program if it had one or more stationary tanks that have a combined storage capacity of over eleven hundred (1,100) gallons of petroleum at the same site. Through modification of the term "facility," such regulation has been expanded to also include any tank whose capacity is greater than 110 gallons where ten percent or more of the volume of the tank is underground.
Significantly, the definition of "petroleum" has been modified to include "all fractions of crude oil." This change makes the following tanks subject to the PBS regulation in New York: (1) tanks storing products for operational purposes (e.g., transformers, hydraulic machines, etc.); and (2) tanks storing asphaltic emulsions. On July 8, 2009, the DEC issued its PBS Enforcement Discretion Directive ("Directive") in response to industry concerns over the regulation of such tanks. In the Directive, the DEC states that it has decided to exercise enforcement discretion at this time and will not subject these tanks to registration and the requirements of 6 N.Y.C.R.R. Parts 613 and 614 until such time as the DEC regulations are revised. Any newly regulated tanks, other than those mentioned above, were required to be registered with the DEC by July 21, 2009 through a modification of the existing PBS license or filing of a registration.
The DEC has not released an anticipated date for its rule-making process to revise the PBS program regulations and address the operational compliance concerns. We recommend that owners and operators assess the impacts of these regulatory changes on their New York operations.

I came to get auditing for the single purpose of never being the same ever again. After completing my life repair, I have complete certainty that the hopes that I placed in LRH's technology were not misplaced and that auditing is the only solution to any situation in my life that I believe needs to be handled.
For the first time in years I can actually THINK. I've made incredible gains, and I know that I'll never be the same again!

I would just like to say that no, I did NOT take a picture of it. Before I ran/walked off, I handed my phone off to John for some reason and he took this because he was going to call the office on this guy for parking like that, haha. (He didn't but, very nice of him to offer.) Anyways, back at home we cleaned it off, and it really wasn't that bad. It doesn't look pretty, but it really wasn't deep enough to justify going to get stitches. It's like a half an inch jagged line across the middle of my forehead. I'm sure it will scar, but my forehead is already like 50% acne scars anyways and John said "it might just look like a wrinkle" so whatever, who cares! I slept with those butterfly bandages on it that night, but that was it. Maybe I should have bandaged it up for a few days, but no thanks. I'd rather have someone stare at the cut on my forehead when they're talking to me, than at a bandaid. It looks better already, but I totally dragged the drama out for a few days acting like a baby about it.
You never realize how much you actually use your forehead until you are trying not to move your forehead. Like every smile, every emotion- you're forehead moves! It's crazy.
Johns been working like 24 hours a day (exaggerating, but only by a little) so it's been very quiet around here, and I've had to eat dinner alone every night. Then he gets home, eats in the dark while Ted does laps around his feet begging for attention. Which sucks for us sure, but I think he's got a worse deal. I'm obsessed with making pie crust, and since I'm not eating things like pie right now, I've been making a quiche like every week. So that took me like, three hours last night, no joke ( because I have to complicate everything.) So things like that have been keeping me plenty busy. I also started watching Parenthood, and I love it! I thought it might be weird to finish Gilmore Girls and immediately start watching another show with Lauren Graham, but her character is different enough that I'm not comparing it too bad. But seriously, does that women age?!
I've been staying in contact with John somewhat while he works..between texts and we started playing Words With Friends again. When we first started dating this game was sooo addicting and we were obsessed. Now I remember why we stopped playing it. He beats me, every single time. And by like hundreds of points! It takes me 20 minutes to find a decent word to play, and then after I do I feel so proud and accomplished of myself but before I can even relax I hear the 'ding' and he's already played another word. Basically to play one game, I spend hours of my life and he spends minutes. So I hate it.
