A journal entry from: Permaculture Alberta
Well Michelle and I have been busy like Canadian Beavers and have already started on three permaculture designs up here! In addition we are holding our own permaculture convergence in Olds Alberta! We have found 5 permaculturists
in the province and we are going to meet up and get to know each
other. I have decided that the problem is the solution when it comes
to this province, instead of it being a province full of backward
thinking red necks, we have concluded that we have a clean
slate to work on and that gives us a lot of opportunity! If any of you
would like to come to the convergence let me know and I will send you
more details.
The first project that Michelle and I embarked on was to convert my mother in laws house into an edible food forest and veggy garden. Her home was built in the 70's and they opted to not install any trees on their lot when the moved in. This was great as it gave me another clean slate to try out some of my mad skill that I had gained from the Bullocks course. I organized a sheet mulch party which was a total success as we had close to 10 people show up. We sheet mulched over 1000 sq ft of "grassoline" half of which is now covered in trees, shrubs, and ground cover. The other half was just mulched in preparation for next seasons perennial vegetable bed and annual veggies.
Here are the stats
- 10 amazing volunteers for 8 hours
- 8 cubic yards of locally sourced, free, horse stable litter
- 8 cubic yards of locally sourced, free, wood chips
- over 1000 sqft of free appliance cardboard. Nice big sheets
- 1 bag of rock flour
- 2 boxes of blood and bone
- 1 box of kelp meal
- 2 bottles of plant success tabs from Fungi perfecti ( Nicole, I told everyone about you and Paul, watch the sales go up from Alberta!)
- landscaping stone
- Trees included (Apple, Cherry, Ure Pear)
- Shrubs included 4 seabuckthorns (1 male, 3 females), 8 currents, 4 saskatoons, 4 gooseberries and3 hazelnuts for privacy
- Plethora of ground cover and insectisary plants.
So the party was a success and everyone was surprised that the grass does not have to be removed and loam installed! Next I will be installing solar thermal panels on the house, re insulating the walls, basement and attic and installing a grey water system to irrigate the front yard with all the fruits trees, shrubs and ground cover!
Thanks to all the Volunteers who came out and helped on this great
project! It was a success and I look forward to helping you with your
own yards when you are ready!
Anywho, without further ado, here are the photos! The remaining grass that you see in the photos are areas that I have not figured out what to do with yet. One of the solutions may be to have a kid or two to play on it??
From Annette aka the grateful M.I.L on Oct 8th, 2008
I can't thank Rob enough for all of his and Michelle's work on this project! The group that came out were superb and I'm extending invitations to future harvest parties! And Rob, every woman should have a son-in-law that she can go have fun shovelling shit with it! Milles merci to the rest of you who came by and willing shovelled,planted etc. The neighbours have been plenty intrigued and complimentary with their comments on the new look. What an awesome project and I would hope this inspires others to follow Rob and Michelle's lead with other landscaping projects of your own. And yes Rob a grandkid or two might be good to have around to play on the grass and help eat all of this fruit! Another future project for you two!

The Utah desert has been and will forever be, the place I go to forget, to disconnect, and to escape. Even as a child, when I was ignorant to the societal burdens of adulthood and the repercussions of political greed and malice, there was something rejuvenating about basking in the warm sun, sleeping under the immense night sky, and returning home coated head-to-toe in delicious red dirt.
Every spring throughout my entire youth, my family would load up our ghetto, rust-colored, slow as shit, Volvo station wagon with all the essentials (bikes, camping gear, firewood, snacks, water) and head to Utah from our home in chilly Colorado. Our destination was always our favorite BLM campsite – a true public land gem – nestled behind towering sandstone cliffs and down a dusty, desolate, dirt road on the outskirts of Canyonlands National Park. We called it our "secret spot".
Growing up, I loved our secret spot and the experiences of roasting marshmallows on yucca branches, collecting bullet shells, whittling sticks to oblivion, and rompin' my ridged, Jamis Explorer through sand pits and over rocks. Those are forever some of my fondest childhood memories. As I grew older and more capable, family trips to our secret spot dwindled but our desert adventures continued. We soon discovered the glorious White Rim Trail.
The White Rim Trail is a 100-mile, 4WD route that circumnavigates some of the most beautiful country in Utah. It is located in Canyonlands National Park, and the trail takes anywhere from 1-4 days to complete. We always opt for the four day, vehicle supported option to maximize desert amnesia, sunburns and camp chillin. Riding this trail has become somewhat of an annual tradition for my friends and I, and we have now done this trip seven times. It never gets old and after the recent election of the xenophobic sweet potato a White Rim trip provided us with a needed distraction from social media, graduate school, and our nation's increasingly toxic politics. Sometimes you have to just disconnect, reset, chill, get drunk, and ride bikes in the desert. The White Rim provides the ultimate escape from reality.

The future of the UK financial sector is up in the air again today, after it emerged that a report from parliament's Banking Commission – due on Friday – will call for laws which would allow banks to be broken up. The Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards (if you wanted the name in full) is expected to back the main proposals from the Vickers Report, which include ring-fencing of retail and investment banking operations.
But the new report is also expected to throw some of its weight behind total separation of the two functions, to avoid situations where banks are not fully implementing their ring-fencing. Andrew Tyrie, the chairman of the Treasury Select Committee, has voiced fears that 'the effect of the Vickers proposals could be diluted over time' if some kind of statutory framework is not imposed. The upcoming report's recommendations might mean that retail and investment operations would have to become legally distinct entities and that the transfer of cash between them would be severely limited.
The proposals could be a spanner in the works for chancellor George Osborne, who last month warned the commission to avoid 'unpicking the consensus' that had settled around ring-fencing laws. The main point of the original proposals was to help protect consumers/savers' money in the retail operation from ever being lost in the much more volatile and risky investment banking operations.
But the Banking Commission is no doubt feeling pressure to appear tough on banks after a string of further fines and rebukes in recent months. UBS is about to be fined more than $1bn over the Libor rate-fixing scandal; RBS may face a fine of £350m over the same issue; Barclays is trying to defend against a fine of £291m over accusations that it had manipulated electricity markets in the US; and mere months ago HSBC was fined $1.9bn after a money-laundering investigation by US authorities.
Whilst these fines have little bearing on the debate about whether banks should be broken up, they do add to the general clamour for radical action. It's hard to know whether a forced break-up of the two functions would be desirable for the UK in the long-term however. Competitors overseas, especially those in New York, will see it as an opportunity to draw some business out of London…

Of Camera
Of Camera explores the abortive attempts of two people to be together in the same space. Their disagreement is fuelled by technical difference: the woman exists on videotape and the man on celluloid. The story corrupts as the two realise they are incompatible and that they are being filmed and watched.

Fact Sheet: Common Criminal Charges in VAW Cases
by Pamela Cross, LLB
Assault: When someone touches another person, directly or indirectly, without that person's consent it is an assault. It is also an assault when the person attempts or threatens to touch another person. This is a criminal offence, whether or not the victim has any physical injuries.
Assault with a weapon or causing bodily harm: This is assault when the person carries, uses or threatens to use a weapon or an imitation of a weapon or causes physical harm that interferes with the health or comfort of the victim.
Aggravated assault: This is assault that involves wounding, maiming, disfiguring or endangering the life of the victim.
Criminal harassment: This is the legal term for stalking. It is illegal for someone to repeatedly follow someone from place to place, repeatedly communicate with that person, spend time outside that person's house or workplace, or make threats against the person, if it causes that other person to fear for her safety.
Forcible confinement: Forcing someone to remain somewhere or interfering with (blocking) the person from leaving a place is forcible confinement.
Sexual assault: Any unwanted touching of sexual nature is a sexual assault. This can range from touching of sexual parts of the body to vaginal or anal penetration. As with other assaults, if weapons are involved or there is serious physical injury, the charge can become either sexual assault with a weapon or aggravated sexual assault.
Uttering threats: It is a criminal offence to utter a threat to kill or seriously harm another person, to destroy another person's property or to injure or kill an animal or bird belonging to another person.
This Fact Sheet contains general legal information only. It is not a legal document, nor is it a replacement for legal advice. Anyone in a situation involving family, immigration or refugee law is strongly urged to meet with a lawyer to understand fully their rights and responsibilities, the legal options available to them and appropriate legal processes.

Paula Louw will be exhibiting at Knysna Fine Art from the 8th of December 2016. The exhibition is titled: Gently Does It.
"The antithesis of all that one would normally consider a gun to be, the R5, revolver and R1 have been de-natured, are redemptive. Having been stitched together, they contradict any ideas we might have concerning these weapons in a traditional sense.
Colour, texture, shape, lines and curves, they could be the same deadly objects, but they present a very different aspect. They're loaded with hurt... wounds and tears have been stitched and mended, healing has been sought and rendered.
Sewing, normally considered the preserve of women, is the means of creation, causing these objects to take on a curiously feminine energy. They have been rendered completely harmless and present to us as soft, even rather cuddly objects, like a soft toy or teddy bear. They can no longer be loaded, cocked, nor the trigger pulled. They have been silenced. Paradoxically, we sense the deadly layers of meaning whose legacy history has conferred, whose dark weight drags these objects deeply into the softness of the pillow."

There are many place names that include the term 'Billabong', 59 in New South Wales, 13 in Queensland, 7 in Victoria and 86 in the Northern Territory. There is a place called "Billabong" that is revealed if you do a Google Map search, but this is in the middle of a forrest quite a distance off the mother of all dirt tracks, the Wonnangatta Track in the Alpine National Park. Without a suitable vehicle and camping equipment it would be out of reach from most – including, I'm sure, our "I've been everywhere" man.
I've chosen a Billabong that is a bit more accessible – Little Billabong in New South Wales. I mentioned the Billabong dilemma to Geoff Mack, the song writer, who thought this was a sensible compromise as he could not recall which Billabong he had in mind.
Little Billabong is home to Little Billabong Creek, Little Billabong Village Hall and the Little Billabong Telephone Exchange. This is the hub of the location and I can only assume the other 466 inhabitants of Little Billabong are in stations in the surrounding area.
The town apparently had a Post Office which opened on 1 October 1874 and closed in 1953.

If a sincere religionist, how can you validate your selection of Torah, Scriptures, or Qur'an? Okay, exactly how did you come to chance one of the over 3000 plus monotheism selections? Either method, selections need we take a chance on acquired, denied, fast-talked, or otherwise intellectualized advancement.
Let us reason the Scriptures to be the initial monotheism tool, at least the Pentateuch part (very first five publications). The Torah is a collection of the entire sacred created as well as oral custom. Came the Messianic motion understood in the New Testament. Later on, Mohammed laid the groundwork for Qur'an, Hadith, and Shariah addiction. If we can disregard the specific forecasts, icons, and also numbers used to represent Bible revelations, after that any kind of among our 3 monotheism branches should be sufficient to please the fundamental desideratum. You must understand: Scriptures message was the initial; various other incentives came after the.
If adherents can believe the Scriptures to be a real monotheism design template, then its suggestions and also tenets are mandatory on all monotheists: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; therefore, those who rely on its integrity have an obligation to all its practices and recommendations. This is not to claim either of the 3 are right in creed, choice, or ideological background. By the way, to make a selection is to take a chance!
How can each understand whether a brand name of necessity is authentic, contrived, or simply plain chanced by your very own geographic incidence? There is a way to understand: not by the development of opinion or chance of inheritance, however by the solidarity gained in syllogistic reductions: in the face of witness as well as to the exemption of opinion. Informed selection is incumbent upon each who would take a chance on any kind of gamble; clearly, such is not always the instance.
Better still, upon which of the 3000 plus Scriptures, Torah, or Qur'a self-controls do you chance as the right one? Okay, just how did you come to chance one of the more than 3000 plus monotheism choices? Either method, selections require we take a possibility on inherited, rejected, fast-talked, or otherwise intellectualized improvement.
By the way, to make an option is to take a chance!
Enlightened selection is incumbent upon each that would take a possibility on any kind of wager; clearly, such is not always the case.
Similar to each gambling enterprise game, whether it be on-line or at a land based gambling enterprise, slots is a gambling game as well as there is not a real strategy that will certainly work all the time. However, you should know some things that you can do in order for you to enhance your chances of hitting some prizes or at least winning some eco-friendly. These pointers are not actually approaches each say, however they may aid you win more then you shed.
* Play at a slots game that has the highest payment. You should always look for a slots video game that has a payout of over 95%. If it is reduced then 95% after that locate one more slots video game that does, as you must have the ability to find one, particularly online.
* Prior to you start to play any slots video game see to it that you know the odds of that video game. Locate and take some time out what the odds of the game are, as if you can not discover them go on.
* Know the payout schedule of a ports video game prior to you start to pull the lever or press the mouse.
* Prior to you start to play slots you need to have a certain set quantity of money that you will have fun with, which generally indicates that you can lose. When you reach that limit do not keep playing yet quit, as if you keep playing as well as try to recover, or hedge your bets, it is the fastest means to lose a substantial quantity of loan.
If you are playing a ports video game and it has actually not paid out for a significant amount of time head to another game, *. Do not have the mindset that you are due, as a cool game is simply that chilly and also you want to dip into a warm one that pays out. Remaining to play at a free-slots-no-download.ws since they assume they are due is one of the main factors individuals could shed a bundle playing slots.
* Learn what the maximum wager is and think about wagering it every single time. , if you do not bet the maximum quantity you will not win the optimum payout or the progressive jackpot.
* When you are hot you could increase your wagering, however not by much. You want to ride your warm touch at slot video game. Alternatively, if you are cool you could lower your betting quantity to get out of the red.
Simply like every various other slots fever pro , whether it be online or at a land based gambling establishment, ports is a game of chance and there is not a genuine strategy that will certainly function all the time. * If you are playing a slots video game as well as it has actually not paid out for a significant quantity of time head to one more video game.

… committed by The Onion recently (hat tip to Jerry Zee):
Archive for the 'Headlines' Category
A Brokavian crash blossomMay 2, 2018
Briefly: a demented p.r. pitch, an off-the-rails headlineJune 18, 2017
In the past few days, some tidbits from Facebook friends: from Margalit Fox, another demented p.r. pitch in her mail; from Jean Berko Gleason, an unfortunately ambiguous headline.
WTF? headline omissionApril 30, 2016
The original datum, from the SF Peninsula Daily Post for the April 30th weekend, on p. 1, printed here as a single line (rather than broken into three lines):
(1) Guard posted at crossing where woman killed
intended to convey something like
(1a) A guard has been posted at the crossing where a woman was killed
— where the omission in (1) of the underlined form of BE (in a subordinate passive clause) gave me an extended WTF? moment. Looking at parallel examples didn't make me any happier. Maybe there are those for whom (1) and similar examples are unproblematic, but there is variation from speaker to speaker in all things, and in this case, (1) and its kin are problematic for me. Now, some background, then back to (1).
The news for penises, issue #1 of 2016January 5, 2016
A continuing series on this blog, with at least 9 postings before this under the heading "The news for penises" (plus a great many other penis postings not under that heading). Four items that have come to me in the past few days: an ad for gay porn with some phonological play in it; horse penises in Kyrgyzstan; beef whistle as a slang term for the penis; and the celebrated candiru fish of the Amazon.
A notable headlineApril 21, 2015
From Chris Waigl, this headline in the Alaska Dispatch News politics section:
No gas-line veto override vote in sight
The headline is entirely accurate and grammatically impeccable, but the combination of three negative-tinged elements in it — veto, override, syntactic negation with no — makes it hard to understand.
Two from BZFebruary 10, 2015
I don't usually pass on postings from other blogs, but on the 5th Ben Zimmer blogged two notable things on Language Log that are worth drawing attention to: one on an amazing headline from Bloomberg News and a death notice for Suzette Haden Elgin.
Subjectless purpose adjunctJanuary 10, 2015
From a public service announcement on television about the closing of the Golden Gate Bridge this weekend:
(1) The bridge is closing to install a moveable median barrier
I wasn't entirely comfortable with this wording, which sounded danglerish to me (though its intent is clear). The version on the bridge's site uses a subjectless nominalization (which is impeccable) rather than a subjectless purpose adjunct:
(2) Jan. 10-11, Golden Gate Bridge CLOSED for Installation of Moveable Median Barrier
My speculation is that subjectless purpose adjuncts (at least the sentence-final ones) are less obtrusive when they are more telegraphic in form, especially when they are framed as headlines; the idea is that readers are accustomed to supplying omitted material in headlines.
Headline stuffJanuary 6, 2015
Mastering a styleDecember 31, 2014
Today's Calvin and Hobbes, in which Calvin shows his mastery of tabloid headline writing:
Calvin's doing well on the headline register (simple present tense for reporting events, omission of articles) used with other stylistic features (lexical choices in ichthyoid, grim melee, devours) and a breathless framing of the report, to reproduce the genre of tabloid headlines.
Missing manDecember 30, 2014
From Emily Rizzo in sunny Florida, an especially nice error from the website of television station WWSB. It started with this report:
Manatee County, Fla. — The Manatee County Sheriff's Office is looking for a missing and endangered elderly man.
According to reports, around 7 a.m. on December 27, Wendell L. Dain got into his 2007 light green Toyota Rav4 and drove away in an unknown direction of travel.
Family members believe that he took a gun with him and they believe that he is on his way to Nevada. They were planning on moving there to be closer to family.
and then the resolution in an update on December 27th:
Missing Manatee County found in Arizona
According to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office, Dain has been located in Phoenix, Arizona, and is doing okay.
The notable point is the update headline. And what's so nice is that a head about a missing man is missing the word man.

Proudly Sponsored by The Good Cards.
It's no secret kindness toward others is a key elements of living a happy life. From my own personal experience I've found the more kindness you spread, the more opportunities for kindness you start to notice, therefore even more simple acts of kindness you can perform. It's a self-perpetuating cycle, all you have to do is get the ball rolling.
A domino effect of kindness can also be sparked by just one act of doing something good for someone else. While I'll be the first to say just knowing kindness is contagious, there is a part of me that would love to see the journey it takes.
Think about a world with more kindness and good deeds! We're making a difference and I have something exciting to share with you that is going to change the way you look at good deeds.
The Good Card
Soon we'll be able to track the path of some of our good deeds!
The Good Cards is a fun new game that will give you the ability to track the path a good deed takes as it moves from person to person.
Here's how it works.
- Get a Good Card
- Scan the card into the Good Card app
- Do a good deed (the app will guide you if you need)
- Pass the card on (directly or anonymously, your choice)
- Share your story
- Track the journey of your card as each recipient follows these steps!
These are the basics of how the game works. There are different ways you can enhance the challenge of the game for yourself. You can take on a challenge The Good Cards provides to you rather than choosing your own good deed. Sometimes getting creative in how you present the card to your good deed recipient can be a challenge in itself, especially if you choose to remain anonymous.
The Good Box
If you want to place a Good Card into motion get yourself a Good Box. In this box you'll receive 3 Good Cards, a wristband and a pair of the Dreamer's Glasses.
Symbolism is something I love, and that's exactly what you'll get with the Dreamer's Glasses. "By connecting our hearts and minds we can really change the world." The Circle symbolizes the heart while the Square symbolizes the mind and structure. With the glasses you'll get the heart + mind unity to share with the world.
From my understanding, the glasses will activate a special secret mission! I'm excited to get the so I can have access to that mission. It's super hush hush, they won't even tell me. I'm always up for a challenge!
The wristband is fun too! It also has a special code that will grant you access to additional special missions.
For maximum game play you'll want to get the Good Box. The extra wearable game pieces will absolutely enhance your game play and give you even more ideas on how you are contributing to the world through kindness right along side with everyone else using the app and wearables!
The Good Cards Kickstarter
You might be asking how can I get started with The Good Cards?
At this point The Good Cards has been active through beta testing, but the creators are ready to bring The Good Cards to the public!
This kickstarter is going to bring together everyone who wants to do good in this world and it's going to be a fun way to bring kindness to the next level. By gamifying kindness it's going to give you even more inspiration and motivation to make the world a better place.
Are you excited to get started? Contribute to the Kickstarter now and get your kindness game on!
Not only will you be making the world a better place by putting even more kindness into the world, but you're also going to get some motivation by seeing where your card travels. Wouldn't it be amazing to watch your card travel around the world?
I can't wait to see where my card will end up. Hopefully it never stops traveling!
Where will your card travel?
It's Good Card go time!
Are you excited to take part in The Good Cards project? Tell me what you're most excited for about it in the comments below.

I'm glad Lego allows children (not to mention adults) to indulge in some escapist fantasies. But what they really need is a hard dose of reality served up in brick form. Slate's imaginary Lego Civil Unrest series is the perfect example!

Ann Arbor, Mich. — Researchers from the Program for Neurology Research & Discovery (PNR&D) gathered to support World Diabetes Day, celebrated this year on November 14 with the theme "Diabetes and Women – Our Right to a Healthy Future."
World Diabetes Day is symbolized by the International Diabetes Federation's Blue Circle Campaign. The PNR&D team commemorated the event by forming its own Blue Circle.
Diabetes affects more than 29 million people in the United States, with another 86 million showing pre-diabetic signs. The number of diabetes patients is increasing by 5 percent per year and more than one in three Americans born in 2000 will likely develop diabetes in their lifetime.
PNR&D, under the direction of Eva Feldman, MD, PhD, is a team of more than 30 physicians and neuroscientists dedicated to understanding neurological disorders and finding better treatments and cures. Diabetic neuropathy, or nerve damage, is the leading cause of diabetic amputations and can also damage to the heart and eyes.
"Diabetes has reached epidemic proportions in our country and around the world," Dr. Feldman said. "And the sad fact is that its numbers will continue to climb. Its neurological complications can be devastating, and we are determined to understand those complications so we can treat and ultimately cure them."
Understanding diabetic neuropathy is a main focus of PNR&D scientists:
- PNR&D scientists have developed a diagnostic procedure for peripheral neuropathy that is used worldwide.
- PNR&D researchers have discovered that excess fats in the bloodstream (dyslipidemia) may play a greater role in diabetic neuropathy than sugars in the bloodstream – a finding that may help us find new treatments.
- Our laboratory is working to understand how excess fats in the bloodstream negatively impact the human brain – and developing studies in patients that identify how obesity and diabetes can reduce a patient's ability to think, as well as reduce strength and mobility.
- Next steps include conducting clinical trials in a number of distinct populations to compare the nervous system benefits of weight loss, increased exercise, and bariatric surgery.
World Diabetes Day focused this year on women's health. According to the International Diabetes Federation:
- There are currently over 199 million women living with diabetes. This total is projected to increase to 313 million by 2040.
- Two out of every five women with diabetes are of reproductive age, accounting for over 60 million women worldwide.
- Diabetes is the ninth leading cause of death in women globally, causing 2.1 million deaths per year.
- Women with type 2 diabetes are almost 10 times more likely to have coronary heart disease than women without the condition.
- Women with type 1 diabetes have an increased risk of early miscarriage or having a baby with malformations.

Chapter 158: The Female Lead Enters the Prince Li ManorThe two dowager consorts in the palace were particularly affected. Even though they'd been going head to head with the dowager empress her entire life, all those remaining in the world of living were those who sided with the right party at the right time. They were all part of the dowager empress' faction. The two women naturally wouldn't feel well after her sudden death. Hence, they too were constantly depressed in the past few days, unable to ease the stuffiness in their chest. However, ever since they moved two potted plants from Bai Xiangxiu's residence to their own, the two women would feel much better upon inhaling but a mere whiff of the plants' scent. At first, they didn't think that the positive change in their mood had anything to do with those plants. But, when they simply threw the plants to a side upon returning to the palace, they would feel unbearably depressed before too long. At that moment, the fragrant scent drifting through the room from the plant would breathe new life into them. When the dowager consorts ordered their servants to bring the plant over to them, sure enough, their moods would lift. The two dowager consorts met to discuss this matter and came to the conclusion that this virtuous act was actually the old madame's doing. They felt that she was really the dowager empress' close confidante and truly understood the depths of their hearts' distress. Hence, the two dowager consorts chose a valuable item as a gift in return for the old madame's kindness, startling the recipient.
All the return gifts should've already been received that day, and most of the gifts should've been small items, no? Why was there another return gift? Moreover, one that was quite valuable too. She guessed that the two dowager consorts wanted to look to the Prince Li Manor for support. But that didn't make sense. Long Heng wasn't a prince of the royal blood, and they themselves were part of the dowager empress faction as well. Now that she was gone, shouldn't the imperial consorts be looking for support from the empress' faction?
It wasn't until she asked the palace maids that she learned of everything that had happened. Unexpectedly, this series of events had been thanks to nèe Bai, and now they'd made the good acquaintance of two dowager consorts. One of them was Prince Rong's birth mother, so it wasn't as if she was completely without power. Who would've thought that nèe Bai would be such a harbinger of good luck? However, she was a bit stubborn to go to these lengths when she was indisposed.
The old madame was quite touched after receiving the gift and the shower of compliments that accompanied them. Nèe Bai hadn't even sought the limelight after doing all this and given all the credit to the old madame. Someone who was such a role model for good behavior were few and far in between. And so, Bai Xiangxiu began to quickly rise in the old madame's esteem. The old madame picked a few presents to send over to Bai Xiangxiu, but the servants who came back said that the madame had slept for half the afternoon and had no intention of getting up.
The old madame took it as a sign of her tiredness and didn't have anyone wake her. The old madame also gave orders to the kitchen to make nutritious supplements to present to Bai Xiangxiu as soon as she woke up that night. As a result, she almost got a nosebleed from consuming it all. She was only tired and didn't need such enormous supplements! This lifestyle would surely be the end of her.
Xiaoshi and the others, who didn't know the truth, only thought their mistress really was pregnant and was on tenterhooks around her. Ye-mama in particular would start giving her pregnancy tips at random intervals. For Bai Xiangxiu, it was the height of awkwardness. Sadly, Long Heng wasn't back yet, so she could only endure it silently.
However, Long Heng was also depressed when he came back. As he entered Apricot Garden, Ye-mama carefully poured him a cup of water. "Your Highness, Madame Xiu has already slept. Would you like to rest in your own residence?""There's no need to do so." Which courtyard didn't belong to him? Did he need to justify where he wanted to sleep?However, Ye-mama frowned in response, saying, "But, Madame Xiu's body is not in the best of conditions right now. Your Highness, why don't you go to the two other residences first…" and relieve yourself with other women? However, who knew that her master would viciously glare at her before she could even finish her sentence? She couldn't muster the will to say another word for a very long time. Her whole body had turned so rigid from terror that it was about to turn into a block of ice.
"Since when did servants start giving orders to their masters in this household? You deserve to be punished." Long Heng didn't say anything else, but that was enough for Ye-mama to go outside and slap herself a dozen times. It was apparent that she'd forgotten her place lately. She could only blame it on Long Heng acting like a young kid completely in love in recent days. Even those next to her had felt the warmth radiate from him.
However, thinking clearly, he was only ever tender to the one lying in bed. That had nothing to do with them. Unknowingly, she had become too proud in this matter first. She'd thought that because of her mistress, she could lift her head and speak boldly to the prince. This was why she'd ended up where she had today.
As for Bai Xiangxiu, she had no idea any of this was happening. She, in fact, was sleeping like a log. Why do we say this? That would be because because she'd almost kicked off all of her covers and wasn't wearing her clothes properly either. She was revealing everything she should and shouldn't reveal.
When Long Heng walked into her room and was greeted by this scene, that body of his that'd wanted to just take a break began to stir. What was wrong with him? Why did his body always act up when he saw her? He coughed lightly and understood that it really wasn't the appropriate timing for doing any funny business. He got ready for bed and pulled the covers solidly around her, holding her tightly and only falling asleep after a thorough cuddle.
When Bai Xiangxiu awoke the next day, she felt that she had had an extremely poor night of sleep. There seemed to be a mountain lying right on top of her, and she couldn't turn around no matter how she struggled. By dint of sheer effort, she managed to slightly wriggle around, but then froze. Something's wrong! This position was quite ambiguous, and it was obvious that a certain man was trying to do something to her from behind. It was definitely something untoward, and she was in quite a precarious position already.
She knew who this man was and absolutely wanted to avoid him. But at the same time, she couldn't do so. Firstly, she was only half conscious after waking up, and secondly, the other party seemed to have waited half a day for her to wake up. "... Ah… You… are so bad so early in the morning!""There's a good girl. You only have to bear with it for a moment. This prince has been holding myself back for the entire night already.""..." Was there a need to be so energetic? Was this kind of thing so good that he couldn't do without it? Reality proved that it was really that good for Long Heng. As a matter of fact, he seemed to be nearing the point of insanity.As a result of that, Bai Xiangxiu didn't get up first thing in the morning. She only ran to the toilet and then continued sleeping. In the end, she'd barely slept for an hour before someone woke her up. They informed her that the old madame was receiving an honored guest and wanted her to make arrangements for said guest. Bai Xiangxiu got dressed and asked Xiaoshi out of curiousity, "Where's the prince?""The prince has left the manor, but he mentioned that he wanted to return and have lunch with you." Xiaoshi smiled as she spoke. The prince really treated her mistress very well. That thought soon flew straight out of her mind when she learned who the guest was. It was none other than the fabled future mistress of the household, Lin Qianzi!
Bai Xiangxiu was also at a loss and starting to panic. Why had the old madame asked her to entertain that woman? However, the mama that the old madame had sent seemed to anticipate Bai Xiangxiu's reaction. "Madame Xiu, Miss Lin is here to fulfill her filial duty to Old Madame, but the old madame needs peace and quiet at the moment, and so has asked you to arrange living quarters for her."Bai Xiangxiu understood the meaning behind her words. This old madame was handing this enormous inconvenience over to her on purpose, putting Bai Xiangxiu in a bit of a difficult position. Miss Lin was supposed to live in Apricot Garden, but now that Bai Xiangxiu had moved in, she didn't want to leave. The old madame probably wanted to test her resolve, but Bai Xiangxiu really didn't want to leave. Hence, she smiled and said, "How considerate of Miss Lin."

Booking Through Thursday: Reading Queue
This week's Booking Through Thursday may have inspired slightly hysterical laughter on my part.
Just slightly.
What are you reading now?
Would you recommend it?
And what's next?
My TBR pile is… large. It is made of books I got at the Book Expo, lovely review copies. I have 5 or 6 books waiting for me on my Kindle, most notablyA Discovery of Witches: A Novel
There are also books I brought back from Scotland. I went to a book festival, and came home with about 16 books of my very own: mysteries, poetry, and an interesting ethnography of English people.
When I came home, a modest handful of books had come in the mail. So I suppose I will read those first and get them blogged, since nice publishers and publicists sent them.
- City of Orphans– Avi. I remember Avi's books on the shelf of my elementary school library. Glad to know he's still writing. Know this one's going to be fun. Historical fiction, set in 1893 New York. I might read this next!
- There But For The– Ali Smith. I saw lots of Ali Smith books on sale at the Book Fest in Scotland. So this could be fun! A man locks himself into a bedroom at a dinner party, and refuses to leave. All right. Let's see what happens!
- Fury- Elizabeth Miles. This is set at a high school and there's some Greek mythology feeding into it… I do love some supernatural-mythic YA, but I don't like Gossip Girl or Pretty Little Liars. So… who knows?
- Come Again No More– Jack Todd (I am not anticipating loving this one… jacket copy compares it to The Grapes of Wrath, and I don't really want to read something that sad, if Steinbeck's not doing the writing.)
For every book I read in 2011, I'm donating $1 to the New York Public Library.
September 8, 2011 7:00 am
Interesting list. Will be interested to read your final thoughts on each.

A 60-year-old hotel in Kansas is being renovated into apartments. A rusty ship that is docked in Philadelphia is being restored and may become a hotel or a museum. Hangar 61, an admired piece of architecture at the old Stapleton Airport in Colorado, is being transformed into a church. Each structure had a specific use that is no longer viable. Yet someone was able to see promise and a new purpose in each one.
If structures can find new life and purpose, why not people? Think about these men in the Bible whose lives took an unexpected direction. There was Jacob, who wrestled with the angel of the Lord (Gen. 32); Moses, who talked to a burning bush (Ex. 3); Paul, who was temporarily blinded (Acts 9). Their stories were different, but all had a change of purpose when their encounter with God sent them down a new path.
We too may experience circumstances that change the course of our lives. But God reminds us of this: I loved you before you loved Me. I want to give you hope and a future. Give all your worries to Me because I care about you (1 John 4:19; Jer. 29:11; 1 Peter 5:7; John 10:10).
As you cling to God's promises, ask Him to reveal new direction and purpose for your life.
Keep your eyes on God
and you won't lose sight of life's purpose. (RBC)

Health insurance exchanges were established by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. DPC strives to ensure the plans offered in the marketplace provide equal coverage and sufficient continuity of care for ESRD patients in need of insurance coverage. Private health plans under the Affordable Care Act have out-of-pocket maximums, which can lead to lower costs to the patient than traditional fee-for-service Medicare. It is also important these patients are able to maintain this coverage as their primary insurer if it is best for their health needs. Patients who choose a private insurance plan have the right to keep their plan for 30 months before making the decision to enroll in Medicare. DPC has been at the forefront of confronting those insurance providers looking to "push" ESRD patients into enrolling in Medicare. It is critical for ESRD patients to have equal opportunities to enroll in private insurance plans and maintain enrollment in those plans to maintain access to care they need to survive.
