Hello one and all. I trust your Christmas was filled with love and laughter and peace and joy.
We had Christmas in our family, too. Why haven't I written about it?
a) My brain is so fried every December by the time Christmas rolls around, all I can do is sit, stare, and drool. (December is nuts in my office, what with all the peeps wanting to have surgery whilst they are on vacation from work or school and while deductibles are met, yielding the highest insurance benefits of the year.)
b) My dear husband got this flu bug thing that landed him in bed on Christmas Day.
c) My dear husband shared his flu bug thing with me, and I'm now buying stock in Tylenol Multi-Symptom cold products.
d) my attention has been mostly focused on my new little toy. Oh, I've had it since just before Thanksgiving, but that isn't nearly enough time to learn all about it and explore the various apps one could download.
e) I have developed an addiction to playing Demon Solitaire on my new toy. Or WordWarp. Or Wurdle. Or Pyramid Lite. Or Bejeweled. Or any other mindless yet stimulating game.
Let me know how YOUR holiday was. I promise I'll write about ours soon.
Well, if I can break away from... playing... with... the...

Tonight my family went to see Gloria! at our church. Can I just say... A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.
We enjoyed EVERY second of it. We had awesome seats (what a story there!), and couldn't have asked for better ones. I took a few pictures with my iPhone.
Me-Again and her family came.
Dad and Mom came with us, too.
This year, there was a special guest. We had an up-close-and-personal view of him. We sat, um, pretty close.
And here he is at the piano, literally a few feet away. John Tesh.
He sang "It Wouldn't Be Christmas Without You," a song he wrote for his wife, Connie Selleca, to whom he has been married 17 years.
He read his very own 2008 version of "Twas the Night Before Christmas." It was humorous and poignant. So what that his face is all washed out by the bright lights in this picture. HE WAS RIGHT. IN. FRONT. OF. ME.
His three instrumentalists and one vocalist (well, technically one person was an instrumentalist AND a vocalist) did a few numbers right there at our feet.

The Mantel
When I was growing up, I always loved to visit my grandparents' homes. They were always full of wonder and interesting and different things than were seen around our house.
My dad was raised by his grandparents. They were the sweetest people. Most knew them as Stewart and Eugenia (or "Eugie" for short). I knew them as Nana and Gimpa. (Yes, Me-Again, I know. If I said "Stewart and Eugenia," I should've said "Gimpa and Nana," putting both references to them in the same gender order. But we didn't call them "Gimpa and Nana;" we called them "Nana and Gimpa." Deal with it. Love you.)
They lived in this big ten room house at 1829 Belleville that they purchased in 1926. (Picture taken in 2007. Still looks good!)They raised my dad in it and still lived there by the time Me-Again and I came along. We loved to explore the attic (the two small paned and gabled windows at the top) and wander through Nana's pantry to see what goodies might be awaiting us if she hadn't just made a fresh batch of her famous custard. Oh, how I'd love to have some of that custard now!
Visiting Nana and Gimpa and PawDad (my dad's dad who lived with them in his later years) was especially fun at Christmastime. Everything sparkled and was so lovely... a fantasy land for a little girl. In Nana's huge dining room, there was a table in front of the tall window that held the most wonderful ice skating scene made with a mirror, rolls of white cotton and darling plastic "skating snowmen" whose knapsacks held real lollipops that good little girls were allowed to sample. It even had little green pine trees that stood in the snowy cotton to complete the outdoor scene.
Perhaps our favorite thing in the house was The Mantel. Its crowning glory was the nativity scene she placed in the center. Nana bought in 1908 for PawDad's first Christmas. Every year she put it up with care, and she even wrote out directions for placement of each figure in case someone else had to put everything up in her absence. They included such details as placing the camel with the broken nose facing a certain direction "as if he was wandering off" so the broken part didn't show so much. Dad still has those written instructions.
Eventually Nana gave Daddy that nativity and Santa's sleigh with white plastic reindeer that went on one end of the very long mantel. (The other end had a gorgeous white church with a rotating color wheel in front of it. We loved watching the colors change. I'm sure one of Dad's cousins has the church now.) The nativity has been displayed on the mantel at Mom and Dad's house all these years since, and this year, it is 100 years old. One hundred years old. A century has passed since these small figures where purchased by a loving mother for her firstborn. I didn't realize it until just recently, but that mantel manger scene was part of the faith legacy of my family that was being passed on to me, even before I was born.
Check out these pictures.
PawDad (my grandfather) is in the center, and Gimpa (my great-grandfather) is on the far right. The nativity is behind them.
Taken the same year, this picture cracks me up. So serious! I always remember Nana as jolly and happy and one who loved to laugh. Front row starting at left is my great aunt Ida Belle (PawDad's sister), my Nana who is holding Baby Gail (Ida Belle's daughter), and that cute little guy on the end is my dad at age ten. The back row left to right is my great uncle Stewart (PawDad and Ida Belle's brother), my PawDad, and my Gimpa. Again the nativity is behind them.

I Am Second
Have you seen it?
Have you heard about it?
It's time you did.
"I Am Second."
I've had the immense privilege of being in the audience to hear Josh Hamilton speak. Chris Plekenpol was the key note speaker at a fund raiser I attended last year. Rick Briscoe is the pastor of the church where Studly Man was formerly a member. I have first hand knowledge of how real Stephen Baldwin is because of how he and his wife partnered in ministry with and ministered to friends of ours whose toddler son was dying of cancer. Jason Castro (no relation!) is known in these parts to be a talented young singer from American Idol AND a man who loves God. Tony Evans is one of my all time favorite pastors and teachers, and he is a frequent guest at my church. Rod Bayron has been with our team into juvenile prisons.
They are second.
Are you?

St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 27, 2019 – The Washington University in St. Louis men's basketball team limited Case Western Reserve University to a season-low 30.6 percent shooting in an 88-55 win Sunday in University Athletic Association (UAA) play at the WU Field House in St. Louis.

Last September, the same guys behind Back Alley Barbershop opened The Village Barber and Supply Shop in Bonifacio Global City. The new brand was designed for township developments popping up around the metro. In December of the same year they opened the second branch of The Village Barber and Supply Shop at The Grove by Rockwell.
The second branch follows the same look, feel and vibe as the first one. The floors are unfinished concrete while the grey walls are adorned by works of local artists. There are touches of wood and metal as well as exposed copper tubes. Warm lights, music played from vinyl records and an excellent selection of reading material complete the experience.
It's been a month since I had my last hair cut so I decided to give one of their barbers a try. My usual hair cut is a tight fade on the sides, less volume on the back, a trim on the front with enough left for a pompadour and of course, a hard part. Rey was a bit hesitant to follow my instructions but after I showed him a few photos of my previous hair cuts he got almost everything right. I say almost because he's not as good as my regular barber. But he definitely did a fantastic job given that he was cutting my hair for the first time.
Aside from the services there is a good selection of grooming products available. They carry products by Baxter of California, Byrd, Imperial Barber, J.S. Sloane and Blind Barber. Each service comes with your choice of hand pressed coffee or Asahi Super Dry.
If you live north of Metro Manila and find it a stretch to go to Makati or Bonifacio Global City for a great barber shop experience you can always pay a visit to The Village Barber and Supply Shop at The Grove.

Today's meditation begins a little differently. Because the meditation will take more time, your suggested resolution for today is at the beginning!
Resolution: I resolve to read and meditate on Mark 7:24-37 today.
Does any one of you have Jeremiah 38:12 memorized? I didn't think so!
When I was in junior high and my oldest brother Paul was in high school, he and his best friend Scott McLarty were into all kinds of weird fun. They made 8 mm films together and wrote a school musical-comedy called "West Wing Story."
One day, I don't remember the exact occasion, they decided to tape record a dramatic reading of a random Bible verse, maybe imitating certain preachers they had heard who randomly selected a single verse to preach from.
The verse they chose: Jeremiah 38:12. "And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these old cast clouts and rotten rags under thine armholes under the cords. . . . And Jeremiah . . . did so."
Now you may be thinking: "What in the world does this verse have to do with me!"
And you'd be right to ask. My point is that it's not just the oddball passages such as Jeremiah 38:12 that are difficult to apply to our lives: even passages whose meaning to us is clear are still difficult to apply. We might say to ourselves "That's good for them, but what does it have to do with me?"
What about the Gospel lesson this morning, in which a deaf and dumb man was healed?
We can all rejoice that a deaf and dumb man was healed 2000 years ago in a place called Decapolis. We can all affirm that God is speaking to us through this biblical text and this miracle.
But what does God intend it to mean to me today, in my life? To determine this is to step into the "moral" or "tropological" interpretation of the Bible. In applying the Bible to our lives, we have a constant need to interpret the Scriptures beyond the original, literal meaning to our contemporary lives.
Imagine that you are the deaf and dumb man, but to help you do this, you may want to know a little about where you live. You live in a place called Decapolis, on the East side of the Jordan River, East of the Sea of Galilee and North of Perea. It's not too far from Galilee or Nazareth. The name Decapolis means "10 cities," and Greek settlers formed a league there to work together under Roman rule. Mostly Gentiles lived there. The region included Damascus, where Saul of Tarsus was transformed into St. Paul. It also included Gadara, where Jesus healed a man possessed by Legion and another demon-possessed man. At one point large crowds from Decapolis followed Jesus.
You might imagine that your are near steep terrain
At this point in the meditation, READ (again) Mark 7:31-37. Read it with this background in mind, imagining that you are the deaf and dumb man that Jesus heals.
Next, we're going to meditate on the same passage, only now we have the difficult task of translating this healing into the healing that God intends for each of us today.
You're not physically deaf and dumb in this meditation, and God doesn't always promise physical healing, or else we would never die. Instead, God desires to heal each of you spiritually this morning. This same Jesus who just healed the deaf and dumb man desires to heal you of your spiritual deafness and dumbness. Your healing won't be immediate, and yet God promises that if you turn to Him, it will begin today.
Imagine that you are you exactly as you are now (this shouldn't be too hard!) But you've got a problem – not physical deafness and dumbness, but a spiritual deafness and dumbness. You don't hear God's Word as you should. Maybe you don't take up your Bible every day. You could come to Sunday school to hear God's Word explained and applied, but you choose not to. Maybe you claim you don't need to or you're one of the people who tells himself he has better things to do. Maybe you don't even truly know God.
Yet, He still comes at night. You hear Him when He speaks through the mouths and lives of other Christians. But you are growing spiritually deaf and dumb and have almost forgotten what it's like to really hear the Word of God and the voice of God.
You've got another problem: you're spiritually dumb. Your mouth still speaks, but too often it is out of self-interest. You speak partial truths and distortions, and it seems like your tongue speaks of everything but God.
Because you cannot or will not hear the Word of God you find you can't speak His language either. You've forgotten the language of praise. You've forgotten the language of thanksgiving and slip into the language of self and complaining.
But now you're tired of this deafness and dumbness, and you come to Jesus, maybe with the encouragement of your spouse or some Christian friends, or even a Christian author. You decide to come to Jesus to do something about this problem. You've gotten to the point that you know something is wrong and that you can't fix it yourself.
In fact, you are the problem.
And then you see Jesus Himself.
It might be Him speaking to you in His Word, the Bible; it might be in the sermon or a Bible study or in Sunday school; it might be as you prepare to come to partake of the Body and Blood of Jesus in the Holy Communion; and it might be Him dwelling in another Christian. But He comes to you.
You aren't sure what to say – you're not even sure you really want to go through with it. But you've come this far, and it's really what you want.
You look at Jesus, and you feel guilty for not coming earlier and not staying to listen to Him, as well as the sensation of a possible hope and joy of healing beyond anything you've felt before. You move toward Him. He reaches out to you and takes you aside out of the multitude so He can speak to you alone.
And this is what Jesus says when you come back to Him for spiritual healing:
"I'm glad you've finally come back to Me. For your sake, don't wait so long next time. Your faith is beginning to make you well. By coming to me I will begin to open your ears so that you can hear Me again. I will begin to loosen your tongue so that you can speak thanksgiving and not complaining. I will loosen your tongue so that you can bring Me the thanksgiving for which you were created, instead of speaking as if you have given yourself all these good things.
Come with Me, and I will teach you again the language of love and joy, of praise and thanksgiving. Every time you come to Me, I will heal you further. But every time you choose not to come to Me when I have reminded you, you will grow more and more deaf and dumb again.
This is how I choose to heal you spiritually in my Kingdom.
Come to Me for spiritual healing, whoever you and wherever you are.
Some of you hear and speak my language but want to see and say more. Some of you once knew my language but by isolating yourself from Me, your spiritual hearing and speaking are weak. Some of you need to come to Me for that special, initial healing. You need to come to completely give up your sickness of self and selfishness. You need Me to open your ears and mouth for the first time.
Come, whoever you are and wherever you are. Come now, and give up yourself. Give up the pride and laziness and idolatry to the world, and I will teach you my heavenly language of love of God and spiritual health.
Come – Be Open!"
Prayer: Jesus, I come to you today, spiritually deaf and dumb. Call me to Yourself, and give me the grace to respond with obedience. Open my ears that I may hear wonderful things in Your Law, and open my tongue that I may praise and thank You all the days of my life. Amen.

Key Patent for Portable Genomics Gets Approval
Wednesday, April 13, 2016
Portable Genomics, a digital health company working on a mobile app to view personal genomic data, has received approval for a patent vital to the company's app development, the company announced Wednesday.
The patent is for the "organization, visualization and utilization" of genomic data on digital devices. The company believes that the allowance of this patent protects Portable Genomics' forthcoming consumer-based app and technology platform.
Covered by the patent is the use of a graphical user interface for displaying and accessing genomic information on a mobile device. The company said the app will mimic the visual simplicity and convenience of digital music applications commonly used on electronic devices.
"The patent allowance announced today protects our proprietary platform and establishes a new standard for the visualization of genomic data on mobile and other digital devices, drawing on a familiar format widely used in the digital media industry, including iTunes among many others," said Patrick Merel, founder of Portable Genomics, in a statement. "We believe our proprietary consumer-based interface will enable patients to have greater control over their genomic and other medical data at a time of rapid advancements in personalized medicine, and will prove valuable to patient advocacy groups and pharmaceutical companies seeking aggregated data for the purpose of discovering valuable new targeted therapies."
Additional claims of the patent include the use of a carousel-based user interface for genomic data display on computers or portable devices, the use of scrollable thumbnail images to display and easily access phenotypic traits and other data, and the use of colored tags to rapidly signify the relative importance of the data being displayed. The ability to activate applications on the mobile device based on genomic information, as well as use of geolocation information in conjunction with the genomic information, are also included among the patent's claims, according to the news release.

Homeowners associations exist because of and for the residents. Because of this, many HOAs are concerned with keeping costs as low as possible so that these savings can be passed down to the homeowners. In a shifting economy, keeping costs low can be a massive challenge. Committing to the following five tips will help to cut costs and lower HOA fees by extension.
Outsource Projects
Many HOAs spend a large portion of their yearly budget in maintaining full-time employees that complete tasks that could be done at a lower cost with vendors. Paying for extra insurance and salaries can cost more than the position is worth. Many of these jobs can be outsourced to a local vendor that can complete the task for a fraction of the cost of employing an inside person to do the job.
Know When to Invest More Money
Saving money sometimes means spending money. This is especially true when it comes to construction and maintenance. It is important, when embarking on a large repair or new addition, to ensure the quality of the building by paying a little extra. This extra money may put a bigger hole in your pocket in the short term, but will save both time and money by avoiding tedious unnecessary repairs down the road.
Stay On Top of Maintenance
It is important to be vigilant with regards to the maintenance of the property. Small leaks are much easier to fix than big leaks, and a small amount of mold is cheaper to get rid of than rotting infrastructure. Regular inspections should be scheduled to be sure that everything on the property is in good condition, and repairs should be dealt with in a timely fashion.
Maintain Detailed and Diligent Budgeting
A lot of money can be saved on a yearly basis by simply keeping meticulous records of all finances. If a budget is not under control, HOAs can find themselves wondering where all of the money went, and a lot of income can be wasted. Keeping detailed records and staying on top of your budget on a monthly and yearly basis will ensure that your HOA knows exactly where each dollar goes throughout the year. This will make it easier to find ways of cutting back and using funds more wisely.
Ask Yearly for Price Reductions
Many HOAs can get into a rut when it comes to their vendors and insurance companies. Although the task can seem time-consuming and tedious, it is important to contact your vendors each year to make sure you are getting the best prices. This can be done with insurance as well. Negotiations can be made on a yearly basis to lower your premium or keep it the same.
The biggest asset a board can have when trying to cut costs is a strong commitment to pay close attention year by year to the HOAs finances and yearly budget. Sticking to these five principles will help your board to save money and lower fees so that your community will be happy and thriving.

Wise words on Science & Spirituality…..
Dadi Janki is quite a prominent figure within the Brahma Kumaris. Watch this – she speaks in Hindi bit there is an English translator.
Allow Your Own Inner Light to Guide You….
From www.Indianchild.com
You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams.
You must be willing to make sacrifices.
You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved.
Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged.
There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities.
Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better.
Be confident enough that you won't settle for a compromise just to get by.
Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life.
Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way.
Could you take a cold shower?
One of my Mum's friends told me to have one. I have a section of skin on my shins that is quite dry. I have tried many oils and creams and it has never got better. It doesn't do anything, it just looks cracked. So this friend said you have heat under your skin. Start washing with cold water. You will get used to it and it will solve your skin problem.
So the first time was a bit hard. I went to warn to colder slowly. By the end, I thought – ok that wasnt too bad. And so slowly I have got used to it. It's really quite refreshing – especially in this weather. It's a nice feeling to have cold drops falling on your head. Go on…I dare you to try it. Ease yourself in slowly. You might even like it!!!
I have not noticed a difference in my skin yet but I have only been doing it for days. I would have thought it will take a while to sort out. I'll keep you posted.
A Tribute to MJ……….
I never have felt any way about admitting how I feel about Michael Jackson – I am a true fan. So to hear the news that he passed last night was devastating. I watched as the news said he was dead, then he was not dead but in a deep coma and then 30 minutes after that report, he was actually dead. Some accuracy would have been good but then that's the media for you. Sorry, I'm finding it hard to say anything positive about the media…as usual.
I wanted to take this opportunity to say what I want to about this. Not what I have in mind for Auranics but words I want to say. So here goes….
When I was a child going through all of my "stuff," his music was one thing that always made me smile. His voice, his lyrics, his dance moves…everything about his excited me as a child. As I grew, my admiration for him as an Artist grew. This is what I want to focus on. He was an Artist. The only thing the world out there should have judged him for should have been his music.
Who are people to say this and that and comment on whether they agree or not with what he does. Look inside yourself first before you judge another person who 1) you have never met and 2) judge him by second hand information from the likes of the media and hearsay say.
I never believed the charges set against him and still don't. I don't care what anyone says but a man who wrote the lyrics to songs like Man in the Mirror, Heal The World, Lady in My Life etc could not have been capable of what he was accused of. I have no doubts in my mind. I think he got too powerful and someone somewhere thought…ok how can we bring down Michael Jackson? Oh I know, he spends lots of time with kids…yada…yada. It's happened to others, why not him? Slander, lies, manipulation of information etc. For some people, the world is a really cruel place. People need to understand that he loved children because with kids, what you see is what you get. They are honest. Not sly, conceited, liars, money chasers and manipulators like adults. That's why he preferred their company because they never wanted anything from him in return. With him being who he was, adults could not be trusted around him.
I don't think we will ever know the extend of his charity work and how many lives he touched. He toured in countries no one dared to go. Politically, economically, socially unstable places were the places he went to bring the people some kind of hope. Name me anyone else who has done that to date. Lets not forget the charity concerts that he did.
I think it's quite disgusting all of the people climbing out of the woodwork to say how great he was now that he is dead. No one stood by him when he was alive and the mud was being slung. Very few people did. People were frightened and wanted to protect their own images.
I stopped listening or watching any news associated with him years ago. I didn't want his name in my mind to be tarnished. So I don't really know much about him. I just know him through his music.
Even the news is annoying me…too much two faced talk of how great he was. Funny how everyone thinks now about how great he was.
Can we now just let him rest in peace. Right now, I'm watching CNN who are broadcasting the 911 call – I mean is that really necessary? Do nosy people out there really need to hear this? Isn't the fact that he has gone enough?
I hope and pray he reaches where he is supposed to be with ease. RIP MJ. I'll never forget you.
Some Beautiful Quotes…..
I came across this site Indian Child recently and really admired some of the quotes on there. I found I could really relate to these words.
Here are a few I'd like to share. For more information, take a look at their website.
Work hard at what you like to do and try to overcome all obstacles
Laugh at your mistakes and praise yourself for learning from them
Pick some flowers and appreciate the beauty of nature
Say hello to strangers and enjoy the people you know
Don't be afraid to show your emotions laughing and crying make you feel better
Love your friends and family with your entire being they are the most important part of your life
Feel the calmness on a quiet sunny day
Find a rainbow and live your world of dreams always remember life is better than it seems
Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary, because it means you've made a difference.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings.
Appreciating Our Past
Our past is a series of lessons that advance us to higher levels of living and loving. The relationships we entered, stayed in, or ended taught us necessary lessons.
Some of us have emerged from the most painful circumstances with strong insights about who we are and what we want. Our mistakes? Necessary. Our frustrations, failures, and sometimes stumbling attempts at growth and progress? Necessary too. Each step of the way, we learned. We went through exactly the experiences we need to, to become who we are today. Each step of the way, we progressed. Is our past a mistake? No. The only mistake we can make is mistaking that for the truth.
Today, God, help me let go of negative thoughts I may be harboring about my past circumstances or relationships. I can accept, with gratitude, all that has brought me to today.

After a good cleaning I sorted all the buttons I had by colour. Before my buttons were in little baggies and out of site, now I can see all the pretty colours! I also peeled off all the greasy spice labels and glued on the top of the bottles a black circle that I cut out with a punch. I haven't decided whether or not yet to glue a coordinating button on the outside yet... we shall see :)
Hope you like the spice rack make over... what is your spice rack doing? This would also be a great idea for all those little crafty/office supplies, or maybe even for hubby's garage nails... Ok, only if your feeling really generous, lol!

- Mushroom Hunting Bag For Delicate Morel Mushrooms
- Color: Black
- Dimensions: 15×17 inches
- Materials: Heavy Duty Mesh, Silk Screen Print, Thick Shoulder Strap for Comfort, Morel Mushrooms
- Made in USA
Mushroom Hunting Bag
Mushroom Hunting Bag
Morel Hunting Bag
This is the most practical Mushroom Hunting Bag! With tough mesh fabric and solid bottom, it is specifically designed for picking delicate Morel Mushrooms.
I am an avid Morel Mushroom Hunter. I can honestly say that – this bag is the most comfortable & practical mushroom hunting bag on the market!
This is a 15 x 17 inch mushroom hunting bag made out of tough tear resistant mesh used by scuba divers around sharp reefs. It has a thick, very comfortable, adjustable strap that you can adjust into a handle or over the shoulder bag. We also added the solid bottom to protect the morels, or any other wild mushrooms, from crushing as the bag gets filled. The mesh we use is thicker with smaller holes which also protects your mushrooms from grating, while still spreading the spores as you walk through the woods.
It is proudly made in the USA. I have been working with this company for a while to perfect them, and just got them in right at the peak of my mushroom hunting season. I took a few bags for a test run.. and I am very very happy with how they turned out! I was even lucky enough to fill a bag up under 2 elm trees.
Another awesome feature about this bag is I wore it over my head & shoulder .. as I was picking morels, the bag was right in front of my chest to put the mushrooms in, which freed up both of my hands for picking. And as I moved through the woods at a decent speed the bag hangs just a bit higher which allows me to move fast without smacking the bag around my legs with precious morel mushrooms.
The bag comes with an 8 inch pocket that reads "My Lucky Shrooming Bag". You can fold the bag & the strap into the pocket for off season storage.
We are very proud of this design and hope you enjoy it as well.
The mesh is needed when you pick morel mushrooms to release the spores so they plant elsewhere and start a new mycelium growth which will keep producing mushrooms in the same area, as well as new areas. Using a mesh bag also keeps your mushrooms fresh. Plastic bags suffocate the precious mushrooms and they will start the spoiling process. Onion and grapefruit bags are not designed for delicate spongy morel mushrooms so they end up grating the morels.
The mesh is very sturdy. We use high quality mesh material so you don't have to worry about ripping your mushroom bag with precious morel mushrooms in it.
I run through the woods from spot to spot due to the morel season being so short and I don't want to worry about ripping one of these bags when they snag on any limbs or brush.
These morel mushroom mesh bags are a unique and thoughtful gift.
"Fantastic products and very quick shipping! Once my friends see these morel mushroom products you guys will back right back at the shop, making more for them. We love morel mushroom hunting, thank you for offering these very unique products." Lisa Howell from Illinois
"LOVE LOVE LOVE your stuff! I bought one for myself and one for each of my sisters, they went NUTS… loved them! I just love your morel mushroom items!" Mellie Durrett-Johnson from Michigan
We are in love with mushroom hunting and look forward to Spring every year to harvest the elusive morel mushrooms. I travel from state to state picking morel mushrooms to prolong the season, and will sometimes cover up to 12 states.

Inverted Cloud Hats - a Pattern Mod; and, Knitting Around Town with Surprise Guests
The only change we'd make in the whole thing is to knit it longer. As it is, it fits well, but there isn't enough length to fold up a cuff for extra warmth over the ears.
Gryphon, Crusin' and Stylin' in his Blue Cloud Hat
I was working with Mossy Cottage Knits' Dulaan Cloud Hat pattern, which knits from the cuff up, and of course I had to guess when to start decreasing. Turns out I could have kept going another inch or so if I'd wanted.
The hat was enough success, though, that Gryphon agreed he'd happily accept more of them, in different colors. A veritable winter hat wardrobe. So Saturday, the two of us popped out together so he could pick out the yarn for himself.
Jo-Ann's Exclusive Angel Hair Yarn -
Colorways (top to bottom) Berry and Forest Green
His choice of the Berry colorway surprised me a bit - I wouldn't have picked him for something that bright, and it has a deep pink component to the mix as well. But he told me he wanted something in nice, bright fall colors, and this sure fit that description.
Inverted Berry Cloud Hat in Progress, Showing Magic Loop
I took a quick look at the Cloud Hat pattern again, and realized how easy it would be to invert it and knit from the center top down - especially if I use the Magic Loop technique. This time, I wanted to show the Magic Loop I meant business - I pulled out my size 10, 60" Addi Turbos. It turns out to actually be easier to work the Magic Loop when you have more "loop" to pull through, especially when you're working the smaller stitch counts.
The inversion of the pattern was easy. I won't put it up as a PDF, since it's my modification of someone else's pattern, and I make no claims to the idea at all. In fact, I suspect that a bunch of you have probably already made the conversion in your heads - that's how easy it is! If Ryan at Mossy Cottage is interested, however, maybe she'll offer this as an alternative version at her own site.
Inverted Cloud Hat
Needles: Size 10, circular or dpn depending on your preferred method.
Gauge: 1" = 4.5 stitches, 6 rows
Cast-on 6 stitches, using whatever method you prefer. Join, and begin knitting around as follows:
Rounds 1 & 2: K1 front and back in each stitch (K1FB). (12 stitches after Round 1; 24 stitches after Round 2.)
Round 3, 5, 7 & 9: Knit
Round 4: *K1, K1FB. Repeat from * around. (36 stitches)
Round 6: *K2, K1FB. Repeat from * around (48 stitches)
Round 8: *K3, K1FB. Repeat from * around (60 stitches)
Round 10: *K4, K1FB. Repeat from * around (72 stitches)
From here on, work even in stockinette stitch until the body of the hat is desired length, then switch to K1, P1 rib. Continue until the hat is as long as you desire - or your yarn runs out.
Bind off loosely. Weave in ends, and enjoy.
Surprise! or, Always Go Out Prepared to Knit and Take Pictures
Our Saturday outing included a stop here:
Where we never expected to find this opportunity!
Knitting Around with the Famous Mice
Of course, both Gryphon and I looked at them standing in front of the store, and our first thought was to get out the knitting and take the picture. It's a good thing I always come prepared for Knitting Around, isn't it!

"Dangerous" fraudsters sentenced to 18 years after huge crash-for-cash scam
- 500 deliberate crashes
- Multi-million pound scam
- 80 fraudulently obtained driving licences and passports
- Mastermind on the run
The criminal "mastermind" behind the multi-million pound cash-for-crash schemes is on the run and police are appealing for help to find him.
Two fraudsters were sentenced yesterday to 18 years for a fraudulent scheme which saw them force motorists into 500 deliberate collisions around Slough.
The Insurance Fraud Bureau stated that the "dangerous insurance fraudsters" had been sentenced but one, Boota Ram, of Faraday Road, Slough, failed to attend court and has absconded. Police have issued a warrant for his arrest.
Following a four week trial at Reading Crown Court, Ram was sentenced to nine years' imprisonment for Conspiracy to Commit Fraud to be served concurrently with two additional three year sentences for possession of articles for the Use in Fraud.
The IFB explained that the joint investigation between the Insurance Fraud Bureau (IFB), the insurance industry and Thames Valley Police uncovered one of the largest crash for cash scams ever.
500 crashes
In total, IFB were able to identify over 500 deliberate crashes with a similar amount of fraudulent policies taken out to cover their vehicles until the crash. The types of claims being submitted meant this scam was worth millions of pounds.
It was discovered that the fraudsters were commonly braking erratically and carrying out dangerous manoeuvers at mini-roundabouts around the Slough area, causing other drivers to crash into them.
The pair would then hand out 'crib sheets' which contained their personal details including their telephone number and insurance information to their victims at the crime scenes.
These 'crib sheets' were analysed by the IFB who were able to connect multiple collisions to one another due to the common handwriting and telephone numbers. These telephone numbers were later found on the suspect's personal mobile phones and used as evidence in the trial.
The IFB stated that it worked closely with Thames Valley Police throughout the investigation, which originally began in September 2014.
After receiving intelligence from insurers, IFB began investigating a number of claims which appeared to be linked to suspicious car crashes in the Slough and surrounding areas. The IFB worked with their insurer members to understand the characteristics of the claims and a pattern began to emerge.
Multiple claims
The IFB noted that the case itself was complex, with the fraudsters going to great lengths to conceal their crimes. Investigators found that they were faking their details in order to insure their vehicles ahead of the collisions, as well as creating hundreds of fake driving licences so they could submit multiple claims under different names and addresses.
In building the evidence against the fraudsters, the IFB linked them to a number of common addresses on the policies, as well as identifying the IP addresses used, piecing the scam together.
Ram was also caught on CCTV scrapping some of the vehicles following the crashes. The gang had scrapped over 80 vehicles at the same yard in an attempt to cover their tracks.
Throughout the investigation, IFB worked closely with organisations from across the insurance industry to collate over 100 witness statements, each evidencing the crash for cash incidents in and around Slough. Thames Valley Police then used this information and their own intelligence on the gang in order to track the criminals down and make the arrests.
A computer seized showed the fraudsters had been keeping detailed records of the fraud and a car that was on the drive of Gagandeep and Ram's home address was found to have around 80 fraudulently obtained driving licences and passports in the boot. These IDs were being presented to the insurance companies for fictitious claimants, further evidencing their crimes.
Jason Potter, head of investigations said of these criminals: "It's lucky that no-one was more seriously hurt in this greedy and dangerous scam. These criminals put the lives of people in their own neighbourhood in danger, deliberately colliding with innocent members of the public just to line their own pockets.
"This case is a great example of the insurance industry and police working together to put a stop to crash for cash scams, which plague the industry, our roads and ultimately our society.
"This scam was worth millions, and it's down to the hard work, tenacity and patience of all those involved that have ensured these fraudsters have been held accountable for their crimes."
Investigating officer detective constable at Thames Valley Police, James Rex, based at Slough police station, said: "These offenders have been working on a complex and sophisticated fraud which has involved hundreds of victims and insurance companies. We have worked closely with the Insurance Fraud Bureau and insurance companies to bring an end to this fraud.
"We are very happy with the sentences as it reflects the seriousness of the crime. Thames Valley Police takes reports of fraud extremely seriously and will investigate thoroughly to bring offenders to justice."

Public Information & Communication Specialist
Average attendance records close out Cubs Spring Training season
The Chicago Cubs wrapped up their 2011 Spring Training season with 14 wins and 19 losses playing a total of 33 games. The Cubs fell from first place to fourth with an average attendance of 9,443 fans for the 2011 Spring Training season. Topping the list was the Arizona Diamondbacks with an average attendance of 11,161 followed by the Colorado Rockies with 10,598 and the San Francisco Giants with 10,036 in attendance.
"It's not a surprise to us that our average attendance fell this year," Hohokam Stadium Manger, Mark Gallo said. "We knew once Salt River Fields opened up we would see slight decline in our attendance records. Plus, with the Giants winning the World Series, it was expected their attendance would go up."
The Chicago Cubs for many years led the pack in attendance records during Spring Training. Even though they were not the leaders this year, they still managed to break their all time attendance record with 13,465 fans against the San Francisco Giants on March 20. Their fourth highest attendance record was also broken this year on March 18 against the Cincinnati Reds with 13,182 in attendance.
In the Cactus League's Top Five season attendance records, the Chicago Cubs are still leaders with a record of 203,105 people set back in 2009. The Arizona Diamondbacks took third place this year with a record of 189,737 people.
Overall, the Cactus League drew in 1.59 million people this year which is the highest attendance record set thus far.
"As you can see the overall attendance record in the league went up," Past-President of the Cactus League, Robert Brinton said. "That means more people are coming here to see a Spring Training game. We hope this trend will continue and our numbers will increase for next season."
The Chicago Cubs will begin their regular season at home tomorrow against the Pittsburg Pirates.

Cheese Sweet BunPosted: April 23, 2015 Filed under: Culinary | Tags: baking, bread, food, recipe, roll, sweet bun Leave a comment
This is my first bun, bread, roll, basically anything that uses yeast. I'd always been hesitate trying to make my own bread from scratch,… I was just not ready facing the possibility that the dough may not rise or at the end the bread may become tough and hard, I don't want to waste my muscle for kneading 🙂
Then I found this recipe, the title seemed very promising, "The Best Sweet Yeast Roll Dough I Have Ever Found" by Kathie Carr.
How could I not fall for it? I felt like my longing for making bread with recipe that will work for even a dummy like me had finally come to the end, and it did work!
I modified the recipe by adding cheese, it's really good. I am happy with the texture and taste though it's not the softest bun in the world but for me it's good…. maybe adding more muscle power on the kneading process will make it better, will definitely try it next time.
This recipe is a keeper, see how nice its texture.
Baked Banana and Bread PuddingPosted: December 22, 2014 Filed under: Culinary | Tags: baking, banana, bread, coconut milk, dessert, food, recipe 4 Comments
Every month, at least once, I make banana cake because of over ripe bananas sitting on the counter…they are so ripe you don't want to eat them just like that, not to mention the skin discoloration that makes them so unattractive( though I know they are at their highest stage of health and nutritional benefits ). Then I started thinking about trying new recipe for those over ripe bananas and this one is very easy and good, this is actually Vietnamese dessert I had couple months ago. After comparing recipes, here is my version. Enjoy!
1.Roughly chop/ dice 4-5 slices of bread ( I used bread end, this recipe is also good for making use of bread ends). thinly slice 4 bananas, set aside.
2. Combine 1 C coconut milk, 3/4C water, and 2 tbs sugar (more if you like sweeter). Soak the bread ends into the mixture for about 5 minutes.
3. Arrange the sliced bananas in a layer alternatively with the soaked bread in the pie plate, baked for 20-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
4. Bon Apetite.
Indonesian Kalasan chickenPosted: April 8, 2014 Filed under: Culinary, Uncategorized | Tags: cooking, food, fried chicken, indonesia, Kalasan, recipe 4 Comments
This menu makes me feel "at home", somehow makes me forget I am half of the globe away from my hometown. For those looking for recipe that incorporates turmeric, this may suit you. This is Indonesian traditional fried chicken recipe, very popular and you can find it almost everywhere in Indonesia, though sometimes people use different name but usually we can tell from the basic taste, turmeric and coriander.
1. Prepare and cut the chicken. I hope this picture would give you idea about the size of the chicken I used since I didn't know its weight.
2. Prepare the ingredient: 1 lemon grass(cut), 2 fresh turmeric about 1.5″ each, 5 shallots, 4 garlic, 4candlenuts, 4 bay leaves,3″ galangal, and 1 tbs coriander. Ground the turmeric, shallots, garlic, candlenut, and coriander. My method is using food processor by adding 1C of water, quick and easy.
4. A. Arrange the lemon grass, bay leaves, and galangal on the top of chicken in the medium pot.
B. Pour the liquid from food processor. C. Add water just enough to cover the chicken (not too much to make the chicken floating). Add about 1 tbs salt, taste it once the water start boiling, add more if needed. D. Leave it for 15 minutes(this is my additional step to make sure the chicken absorbs the seasoning thoroughly), cook for 1 hour until the chicken is tender.
5. Drain the liquid, you can store it in air tight container in the fridge.
6. Fry in medium heat oil until golden brown, serve!

If you want to avoid debt or get out of it, there are a number of things you need to start doing. Creating a budget, for example, helps you know how much you have to spend and makes it less likely that you'll overspend. That's just one tip to keep your finances in line, and there are many others.
By avoiding mistakes that can accrue debt and make it harder to pay down your debts, you can get into a position to be debt free in less time. Here are a few tips that can help you and your family focus on a healthy financial future.
1. Don't use cash advances
These cash advances might help you in the very short term, but you lose out. You pay transaction fees and an advance fee. There is no grace period for repayment and interest starts on day one. It's a surefire way to end up in deep debt if you cannot pay back what you owe right away.
2. Get a savings account
It's important to get a savings account, even if you're already tight on money. Begin to put away a few dollars here and there until you have a cushion. Then, when an emergency comes up, you won't have to turn to a credit card.
Many people think paying off a credit card is the most important step, but without a savings, you won't have anything except that card to fall back on if an emergency happens.
3. Record your purchases
Record and review your purchases each month. You'll be surprised at what you buy that you may not have needed and could see other areas where you can cut back and save money.
These are just a few tips. Give them a try, and if you still struggle, your attorney can help you look into alternative debt solutions.

What Part of "Inspire, Don't Guilt" Don't They Understand?
Today I received a fundraising email with the subject line "Bad Start to December Fundraiser." I didn't open it. (Would you?) It's from an organization that I won't name, but which I've come to think of as the perpetual purveyors of doom and gloom in my inbox.
With all the access to fundraising wisdom out there, explaining the need to make donors want to join your winning cause, rather than getting them worried about throwing good money after bad, shouldn't they know better? Only a couple of weeks ago, Nancy Schwartz wrote a fine blog about how to write good email subject lines — and among her tips was "Inspire, don't guilt" people. (I talked about her post in my November 2 blog entry.)
But maybe this strategy is actually working for this group . . . . nah, probably not. I get too many emails from them telling me how badly their fundraisers are going. Time for a change in strategy.

Two years ago, British archaeologist Alan Outram published a paper in the journal Science that offered an important insight into how early civilizations developed.
Outram and his colleagues found evidence that horses had been domesticated 1,000 years earlier than previously thought, by the Botai people in what is now northern Kazakhstan. The researchers found differences in ancient equine bone structure, fossilized teeth that showed signs of human-made bits and the presence of mare's milk in pottery shards – findings that were reviewed recently in the inaugural issue of National Geographic's new quarterly magazine, Exploring History.
But Outram, who specializes in zooarchaeology (the study of ancient animal bones), also has a South Dakota connection. For the past eight summers, Outram has led a team of student archaeologists from the University of Exeter to excavate at the Prehistoric Indian Village dig site in Mitchell as part of an exchange program with Augustana College. Recent research, co-written with Landon Karr and Adrien Hannus at Augustana and published in the fall issue of the Journal of Field Archaeology, sheds new light on artifacts found between dwellings at the Mitchell site.

WASHINGTON (4/28/15)--Debt collection, credit reporting and student lending practices top the list of servicemembers' complaints to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), according to a report released Monday. The bureau's third "Snapshot of Complaints Received from Servicemembers, Veterans and their Families" details data and trends received since July 2011.
The CFPB received more than 17,000 complaints from servicemembers in 2014, which represents a steadily increasing volume, said Holly Petraeus, assistant director for the CFPB's Office of Servicemember Affairs.
Roughly 29,500 complaints from servicemembers have been received by the CFPB from July 21, 2011, through Dec. 31, 2014.
Highlights from the reports include:
The Defense Credit Union Council, which represents the interests of credit unions operating on military bases around the world, has been in touch with member credit unions to ensure they note challenges that servicemembers and families face during deployments and permanent changes of station. Maintaining account access and management is among the credit unions' top priorities.
The report also highlights CFPB outreach efforts in 2014, which included connecting with roughly 17,000 servicemembers, veterans and military families through a number of live events, including ones at 34 installations around the world.

Earlier this week, fifteen local mixology magicians converged behind the bar of Steuben's, 523 East Seventeenth Avenue, as part of the retro diner's annual holiday toy drive, a festive, spirited party that involves clever cocktails, lots of willing imbibers, good will, good cheer, generosity and a heap of toys, all of which are given to the Salvation Army, who, in turn, donates the whole kit and caboodle to deserving kids scrooged out of Christmas presents.
Bartenders from Steuben's, Vesta Dipping Grill, Colt & Gray, TAG, Root Down, H Burger, Green Russell, and the the Bitter Bar in Boulder garbed themselves in tropical tiki beachwear and poured alcohol-fueled drinks for $5 each until 2 a.m. -- and every drink slinger in attendance donated their tips to the Salvation Army.
"It was a hugely successful event with great bartenders from all over the city helping out and pitching in," says Steuben's/Vesta Dipping Grill owner Josh Wolkon, who estimates that more than 450 toys were donated and $2,000 in cash tips collected to benefit the non-profit. "Out of all the charity events that we do every year, this one may be the most rewarding. There's tremendous gratification and satisfaction from seeing that hill of toys getting bigger and bigger throughout the night."
The toys and cash were officially donated to the Salvation Army on Tuesday. "They were so excited when we dropped everything off on Tuesday morning, and I can't wait to do it again next year," says Randy Layman, the Steuben's bartender who spearheaded the event.
Happy Christmas, kids.

Card and Tile Games: Layout Group
In these games there is a layout: an arrangement of cards (or tile) or piles of cards on the table, and rules for adding cards to the layout or moving cards around within it. Generally the aim is to get rid of cards, and if you have no other play you may have to pick up a card from the stock. Previously I called this the "domino group" because many of the games use dominoes, and because one of the best known card games of this group (Fan Tan) is sometimes known as Card Dominoes. It is now called the layout group to avoid confusion between games of this group (which may or may not use dominoes) and games played with dominoes (which may or may not belong to the layout group). There is now a separate page about games played with dominoes, and a collection of pages by Joe Celko about games with Western Dominoes and Chinese Dominoes.
Layout games played with dominoes
In layout games played with dominoes, usually it is necessary for one end of the played domino to match a free end of a domino on the layout.
- The Draw Game
- The Block Game
- Five up, or Muggins
- Fives and Threes
- Matador
- Bergen
- Flower and Scorpion
- Train
- Chicken Foot
- Caribbean Dominoes
- Gaple
- Nos
For a much longer list, including other types of games played with dominoes, see Joe Celko's pages about games with Western Dominoes and Chinese Dominoes. See also the domino page of this site.
Layout games played with cards
- Parliament / Sevens / Fan Tan / Card Dominoes in which the layout consists of the four suits built in sequence from the 7's in the centre to the ace and king at the extremes. A version of this also occurs as an option in some compendium games such as Lórum and Barbu.
- Table Tob Cribbage is rather different type of game in that you can always play, and you score according to the combinations on the layout.
- Kings in the Corners has some characteristics of a competitive patience game.
Patience or solitaire games for one player, in which cards are added to or manipulated within a layout, can also be considered as belonging to this group.
There are also many competitive patience games, which have similar layouts but with two or more players competing.
