It's been a while between postings. Tyler has cut two molars and had a dose of champylobacter which was not pleasant.
Today we took advantage of the fantastic weather and went to the Edendale Crankup Day. This features vintages tractors, so Tyler was in his element.
Tuesday, January 17, 2006
Tyler was restless during the night so came and slept with us (as I started work today and needed the sleep). He spent the day with Chris and was a bit feverish, refusing food and wanting cuddles and sleep. He also had 'interesting' nappies. Lo and behold, tooth No. 7 has just poked it's head up! He's now a box of fluffies.
Sunday, January 15, 2006
Totally zonked out! When he sleeps, he's all over the place.
Here he is just after daddy gave him a haircut with the new clippers (thank you Grandad & Jan).
He is a budding mechanic and loves to help Daddy do things to the cars and bikes.

Here's Tyler's 2005 Santa photo.
Yesterday we drove to Cromwll for their New Year touch tournament. We've played in it for the last 3 years. It was overcast and windy, but still warmish. Our team came second in it's grade, although we played 3 girls/3 guys whereas everyone else played 2 girls/4 guys. We lost the final 5-3.
We also stopped in to visit Chris' Uncle Ron and Aunty Noeline near Arrowtown. Tyler didn't sleep on the way home so was grumpy and overtired. I also think he is teething - this will be tooth number 7.
Posted at 1:11pm, Sunday 8 January 2005
Wednesday, January 04, 2006
On Monday Rachel, Chris & Samantha from Dunedin came for lunch. Tyler and Sam had a great time together, and both were pretty tired by the end of it all. Rachel is 12 weeks pregnant and glowing!
Tuesday, we went swimming with Helen, Stephen & Rebecca. Tyler was very reluctant at first, but finally decided that he wanted to join in the fun, and then demanded to be with Anton all the time, preferably at the deep end with lots of splashing :)
Tyler's latest word is 'tacta' for tractor. He is also very good at waving goodbye and saying 'ta-ta' and blowing kisses. His repertoire of animal noises has expanded to include 'bk bk' for the hens and 'ssss' for the snake. 'RRRRURRRR' for the lion is still the enthusiastic favourite.
Happy 92nd Birthday Great-Grandma in Dunedin!!
Tuesday, January 03, 2006
We went to Te Anau for New Year's. We stayed with Bruce and Ali, where Tyler had more fun on the four-wheeler, checking out the animals. We also visited Paul and Kirsty and their new baby Shelby, who is a wee darling.
We were all big Nanas and in bed by 11:3pm so did not even see the New Year in!
Back to Invercargill today. Rachel, Chris and Samantha from Dunedin are visiting tomorrow. Sam is 5 days older than Tyler.

We have all heard it before, you can't live forever. I know this, but to live it, well, that is just something entirely different. We all knew my wonderful father, Jim Ralston, was not going to live much longer. He was suffering from a terribly fast paced lung disease. One that was taking his breath to the point that he could not walk across the room without needing to "catch" his breath. It seems so terribly cruel for a man who had some of the strongest set of lungs anyone could ever wanted. My father was an amazing musician. The voice on him could be heard singing houses away while he sat on the back porch playing his guitar and singing. This was a nightly occurrence, if weather permitted. One that was not entirely appreciated as a young person. Thankfully I came to know what a talented person my father was. I had the pleasure of singing with him weekly at church and for a occasional wedding or a public function. My dad influenced many people to pursue their own dreams of singing and or playing music.
This terrible disease known as, pulmonary fibrosis , stripped my Dad of his ability to sing. I asked him why he didn't still play the guitar, he answered, "it's no fun playing the guitar if I can't sing too". I know people who would have given their right eye to be able to play the guitar like my Dad. Apparently they were like peanut butter and jelly to him. Can't have one without the other. He loved PBJ's too!
Another one of my Dad's great talents was landscaping. We use to joke when I lived at home that he needed to move on to the neighbor's yard. He had done all that he could with our 1/4 acre lot in the suburbs. My parents eventually did start a landscaping business. Many homes around the Bowie area still have the gorgeous landscaping my father installed for them.
The love of plants and the love of being outdoors is one of the passions I inherited from my Dad. His love fell on the side of beautiful landscapes and hardscapes. I very much appreciate that as well, but for me the love is in the medicinal and culinary purposes of a plant. Though I do love to grow flowers that are non eatable.
Some how it just seems completely natural to me to be able to identify plants. People are often surprised how many plants I can identify. This I thank my father for. One of the other many things to be thankful for that my father instilled in me is the love of working with my hands. I love to get my hands dirty from hard work that will produce whatever it is I was looking for in the work. A newly pruned tree or shrub, a cleanly edged garden bed, tomato plants tied to the support, or a weed free garden. Trust me the list could go on and on!
This has been a very difficult week, to say the least.
Last week my beautiful rooster, Prince, was less active than usual. Some thing I always keep an eye out for with my chickens. My husband said, "he's probably cold". This you would think would be the case since the temperatures were barely leaving the 20's, but the chickens definitely do not seem to mind the cold nearly as much as we do. They will lift a foot and tuck it under their body when it is real cold. Or they will tuck their head in closer to their body. Besides that, life continues as normal for them during the winter.
I hate to say it but my observation was correct. Prince was on his way to the other place we will all eventually journey to. For Prince I hope it will be a place with no predators, fresh clean water, all the feed any chicken could ever want, pastures to hunt for insects, hens to watch over, and a clean safe roost for the night. Prince went to his pasture heaven January 12, 2015 just one day after my Dad left his physical body to go to the next realm.
My wise retired Hospice nurse Mother has said for many years, "death is part of life." This is so very true. Rest in peace my dearly missed father for one day, hopefully in the distant future I will happily be with you forever again.

Monmouth 1778: Battle for the North
Monmouth 1778: Battle for the North
June 28, 1778.
The Battle of Monmouth Courthouse was the last major engagement of the northern theater of the American War of Independence, and the largest one-day battle of the war pitting General George Washington's Valley Forge trained Army in pitched open battle against the rear of British General Sir Henry Clinton as his Army left Monmouth Court House. The legend of "Molly Pitcher" is usually associated with this Battle -- as well as the oppressive heat which affected and impaired soldiers on both sides. Produced by multi-award-winning filmmaker Kevin R. Hershberger, this documentary film includes highly authentic recreations of the important events of this critical battle -- using a "cast of thousands" of re-enactors from around the world. As well, professional narration and maps demonstrate the important facets of the battle and campaign. The official 230th anniversary re-enactment commemorative film

How it is if you're ugly...
I wonder how many people know how it is to be unpopular and socially clueless. Luckily, if you're not one of them, I'm here to help you understand.
"Normal" is a pretty narrow stripe on the spectrum of possible human behaviour. You don't have to be very far outside that section to make people uncomfortable, and people don't like to feel uncomfortable. All you have to do is be a little funny-looking, or height/weight disproportional, or dress badly. Or fail to make the right kind of eye-contact, or project an aura of cringing cluelessness, or miss a few social and conversational cues.
If you're "abnormal" – especially if you also seem powerless – people don't treat you with respect. Usually, their eyes kind of just slide over you – except when they're having a joke at your expense.
For example: let's say you're in high school, and you're an acknowledged dorkwad, and you go into the student store to buy a pen. The popular student behind the counter will ignore you. He will talk to his friends, or make a phone call, or help everyone else before you. If you screw up your courage to ask for what you want, he will look at you with a faintly amused sneer. It's a little bit like what the guy described in Black Like Me – when you're different, a certain number of people just dislike you automatically. I don't remember very often getting what he described as The Hate Stare, but I got a lot of The Sneer.
And it's even worse when it's girls – at least, it was for me. I really didn't care that much what Joe Jockstrap thought of me in high school – most of them seemed like morons, and they were definitely BO-ring. Even when they were being oafish – the fundamentals of which they excelled at – they had no imagination.
Jock1: Did you see the boobs on that new girl?
Jock 2: Yeah, man. I saw 'em.
Jock 1: Man, I'd like to get ahold of *them*.
Jock 2: Dude, me too.
Jock 1: Dude.
Jock 2: Yeah.
I wanted to grab them by their thick jock necks and bang their heads together. You guys are such freaking idiots! You can't even leer with any style! Girls' bodies are the greatest thing on this entire planet, and all you can say about them is "Dude"?
Anyway, where was I? Right, it was worse to be ignored or mistreated by girls, because I couldn't hate them or dismiss them like I could the guys. I desired them desperately, and wanted badly for them to like me. When they laughed at me, it was disheartening and demoralizing.
And I *was* definitely a dorkwad. I had glasses, and they weren't the stylish kind. (Back then there were only about 4 kinds anyway, and none of them looked good – but I set some sort of Guinness Book record for Stupidest-Looking Glasses, I'm sure.)
I read constantly, I played chess, I scored a million on the SAT. I skipped first grade, so I was younger than everyone else. To make it worse, I didn't start the puberty process until I was about 15, which meant that throughout high school I looked like a little boy surrounded by hairy, muscled young men. I had straight, fine hair, and it was cut short – by my dad – at a time when everyone else wore it long, parted in the middle, and blow-dried. And we had very little money, so I had no car, a second-hand bike, and weird clothes. (To be fair, I could have dressed better on the same amt of money, but I was utterly without clue when it came to clothes.) All in all, it wasn't a picture to inspire much enthusiasm in a young woman, and I don't really blame them for not being interested. Most chicks don't dig the elegance of the Queen's Pawn Opening, or Durkin's Attack, and I understood that – but the ones who were mocking and mean about it – that kind of hurt.
Okay, so what is my point? I'm sure I had one at some stage of this ramble down memory lane. Oh yeah, here's the deal:
If you've never been in the position in life where every interaction with people (clerks, cops, peers, waiters, salespeople, etc etc) is a challenge, it's worth thinking about. When you're good-looking and confident, people WANT to help you. They notice you. They greet you. They go out of their way to get you what you need. When you're Strange (as The Doors said), people step in front of you, people ignore you, dismiss you, talk down to you, or just plain don't care.
I am no longer in the Strange category, that I know of (shut up, Anya). I matured a lot in college, my looks improved, and I gained some self-confidence. I can afford a decent haircut and clothes, and looking young is now a bonus.
But I remember so well how it feels to be snickered at, to never be taken seriously, to be unnoticed or deliberately ignored. Twenty-five years later, I'm still slightly surprised when people remember me, or when strangers smile or women flirt. And I value that memory of what it was like when I was young. It gives me a connection with people who are still in that situation, the inclination to take them seriously, and a desire to see the person underneath the hesitant exterior.
So anyway, that's how great I am. I have been forged by the fires of social ostracism into a person who is incredibly empathetic, yet at the same time amazingly handsome and confident. I dazzle myself with my splendidness. I don't blame you if you want to be like me, or at least bask in my aura a little. I'm available for parties and bar mitzvahs. Weekends extra.

Katie Holmes Makes a Museum Stop, Then Hits the Road
Katie Holmes flashed a smile today as she hopped into a waiting car in NYC. The actress spent the morning visiting the Children's Museum of the Arts, and the attached gift shop, with Suri and a family friend. The trio were spotted leaving with a couple of shopping bags.

Becoming a part time helper in Singapore can present a host of challenges. For starters, I found it difficult to find a part time helper position that worked with my other schedules. Most people will hire you, but then they want you to start filling in for other people and before you know it the position has turned into an almost full time job. I couldn't do that, but I did need a part time position in order to pay off some bills as well as save some money for the impending holiday season. I wanted to control my hours, though.
Fortunately, I found the perfect company where picking your own hours isn't an obstacle to anything else in your life. It's a cleaning company, which really works for me because I did that sort of work back in the day with my mother. We used to clean various bars around town for additional money during a few really lean years. Since I had the skills for the position, going through the interview was a piece of cake. I immediately liked the company and the attitudes of the people I met before, during, and after the interview.
The job itself is better than I thought. If I can't make it on any given day, I simply call in during the morning and make sure someone is available to fill my slot. Plenty of people work here for extra money so it's not at all difficult to find a replacement or even switch shifts with other employees. My boss is awesome and I can work as many or as few hours as I want. I'm already making plans for that extra money coming in, and it's very likely I'm going to stay on after the holidays just because I enjoy working here so much.

Tiffany Dows Social Networking On Squidoo Review
A Soup to Nuts Approach to Socializing On Squidoo -- From Setting Up a Free Account to Maximizing the Amount of Laser Targeted Traffic Your Modules Will Bring.
With the popularity of social networking sites exploding. it was refreshing to find one like Squidoo. Unlike MySpace, you can actively promote just about anything you'd like and not have to concern yourself with issues such as being a spammer or having your site shut down because some pimply face kid decided he or she didn't like what you were about.
Squidoo is a "Marketers Paradise" which is still in it's infancy. it has the potential of making alot of people alot of money.
In her ebook Tiffany Dow makes simple and easy work for anyone that is looking to set up a new lens on Squidoo. a quick and easy read.
I was impressed with her no hype, no filler approach to what one needs to do and will have the reader setting up their new lens in record time without any details that could confuse or frustrate the new lensemaster.
In this book you will learn:
* How to speak the Squidoo language.
* How to launch a new lense that's meant to attract attention.
* How to aim your lense at your target audience.
* How to get a Top 100 LensRank and bump up in the SERPS.
* How to nail down your niche within Squidoo.
* Everything new about Sqidoo -- Changes that will impact your socialization strategy.
It's a quick and clear read that spans six chapters and just forty seven pages. When finished you'll know exactly what to do and how to do it. I was totally impressed with her simple approach to details that normally would be percieved as confusing.
Don't let the length of this ebook or the cost determine it's value. It's a steal at any price and it's value immeasurable.
In addition, for those that may be learning challenged, she has thrown in a step by step video that is sure to remove any mystery or confusion.
She also throws in the Multi-Layered Mindset of Web 2.0 as a bonus. She says, "It's not a buzzword or mysterious new advertising tactic - It's about raising your strategic planning to a level that matches the evolution of the World Wide Web".
Web 2.0 is another evolution of the Internet and it's all about the people. a must read!
All in all I found Tiffany's Ebook "Social Networking On Squidoo" to be an informative and useful approach for anyone that wants to broaden their marketing strategies, making common sense use of the Social Networking site known as "Squidoo"

NSW container stoush continues
Authorities are annoyed at a Taiwanese shipping company's sluggish efforts to pick up 81 containers it lost near Newcastle.
The cargo ship YM Efficiency lost the containers overboard last June, leading to waves of debris causing havoc ever since.
The Australian Maritime and Safety Authority (AMSA) says the Taiwanese shipping company Yang Ming had picked up containers that washed ashore, but had left dozens more containers and debris below the surface.
"I think the behaviour of the insurers and the ship owners has been disgraceful," AMSA general manager of response Mark Morrow said.
"They should have taken responsibility for the rubbish in our ocean 12 months ago, it's as though we're on the bottom end of the planet and it doesn't really matter."
Yang Ming has paid contractors to search for the submerged containers, but AMSA says it has had to take control of the operation as the company is going too slow.
The authorities have found 64 shipping containers using sonar and underwater drones.
ASMA says it will be able to confirm the locations of even more containers within coming months.
The clean-up will be expensive.
"It could be anywhere up to $50 million and there are challenges in doing that because they've left it so long that the containers are starting to break down and could disintegrate if we lift them, so we could cause more pollution in the ocean," he said.
"That's certainly a concern in terms of how we go about this operation and we're getting the best advice we can from offshore consultants about how to do that."
AMSA says it will pursue Yang Ming for all costs.
AMSA has met with Australian representatives of Yang Ming and its insurer Britannia P&I, just once.
Mr Morrow said the company claimed the containers do not count as pollution.
Commercial fishers near Newcastle say the containers fell in the middle of prime fishing waters, and are now contaminating their nets with everything from clothing and homewares to entire bicycles.
Yang Ming says it is "disappointed" at the "non-specific allegations" levelled against it.

The July 2019 Real Estate Stats Are Here!The July stats are in and the picture they're painting for the Pinellas County Real Estate Market is pretty much exactly what we predicted over the past
The Latest Tampa Bay FL Real Estate Market Stats
Dated: 08/22/2019
Views: 371
The July 2019 Real Estate Stats Are Here!
The July stats are in and the picture they're painting for the Pinellas County Real Estate Market is pretty much exactly what we predicted over the past several months!
July 2019 experienced continued strength in home sales in the Pinellas County market, despite warnings of a slowdown that was predicted by media outlets in the 1st quarter of the year. (As a reminder, we explained that negative sales totals were actually being driven by a lack of inventory in lower price points in 2019 vs 2018, not from a lack of interest or higher priced sales in our market).
The number of closed home sales in Pinellas County increased +8.6% in July 2019 compared to July 2018, with the average home sale price increasing +12.6% to $361,055. We saw a small drop in cash sales in our area of -5.1%, which is actually a difference of only 17 less sales in the county for the month. Inventory also declined once again, dropping from 2.8 months to 2.6 months supply (a difference of -193 less homes on the market).
Townhouse and condo sales also increased, a bit more modestly at +3.9%, with a similar drop in in cash sales (we're not worried about that, as higher prices often reduce the number of cash sales from investors). The average condo/townhouse price increased +3% and inventory remained the same (flat) year over year.
What these stats continue to tell us is that the Pinellas County home market remains healthy overall. When we dig down further into the stats here's the price points that drove the changes in the market:
Home sales in the $100,000-$149,00 price range dropped -67% (not surprising, as prices have grown us out of this price point in the majority of neighborhoods)
The biggest jump in closed sales was in the $1 million+ price point with a whopping +73% increase in closed sales year over year
The next biggest jump in closed sales was in the $600,000-$999,999 price point, with a +34.7% increase year over year.
Double digit growth in closed sales was seen in the $250,000-$399,999 price points as well.
Taking this into consideration, it's obvious there's still a demand for the higher priced homes that now represent much of the Pinellas market. This is likely due to the strong jobs market in our area, limited availability of vacant land to build new homes on, and increased activity from out of state buyers coming to Florida from other areas where property taxes and state income taxes for just 1 year can equal the purchase price of a condo or small home in our area.
Absorption rates for the past 4 months have not dropped below 45%. We saw rates at 50% for the month of July this year (reminder, a low absorption rate indicates a slow market and a high rate indicates a strong real estate market. A 50% rate is considered fairly high in Pinellas County, so our market is considered strong based on this logic).
So what does this mean? The July 2019 stats indicate that we are still in a good seller's market in Pinellas County and much of the Greater Tampa Bay Area. Home buyers continue to show interest in local real estate due to historically low mortgage rates and plenty of job opportunities around the Tampa Bay Area. Corporate relocation figures for our area have also been strong this year and Tampa Bay is now ranked #4 in the nation as a 'hot spot' for new commercial real estate development as well. These are all indicators that our market has the strength to continue with positive growth signs through the end of 2019.

If see-through pants and #asspirational selfies are all that comes to mind when you think Lululemon, you have a lot to learn. Here are a few facts to snag that yogi at the gym, get informed, or jumpstart your yoga lifestyle.
RELATED: Meet the Luluaddicts, Yoga's Version of the Sneakerhead
RELATED: Is House of Cards to Thank for the Recent Popularity of Rowing Studios?
No. 10 - The brand sponsors the annual SeaWheeze Half Marathon in Vancouver.
You're too late for this year though, it fills up fast! More info here.
No. 9 - The full name is Lululemon Athletica.
The final name was chosen by a survey taken of 20 brand names and 20 logos.
No. 8 - Founder Chip Wilson is a Celebrity in His Own Right.
Former CEO and Founder Chip Wilson (yeah, this guy) is a classic foot-in-month kinda guy. Known in the media for choosing to call the brand Lululemon because he found it funny that Japanese people couldn't pronounce the letter "L." In 2011, the company printed "Who is John Galt?" on their shopping bags as Wilson is a huge Ayn Rand fan, and he's been known to link the introduction of the birth control pill and smoking for high divorce rates... pause, along with this gem: "Ultimately, Lululemon was formed because female education levels, breast cancer, yoga / athletics and the desire to dress feminine came together all at one time." Wilson has since resigned his role with the brand.
No. 7 - Lululemon has a little sister!
Ivivva Athletica targets girls from age 6 to 12. Lower price point with brighter color options, many women today are converting their sizes for a secondary fix.
No. 6 - Fans of Lululemon have their own language.
Not unlike sneakerheads, their popular Wunder Under Crops and Pants are abbreviated to "WUCs" and "WUPs." When the brand adds new items to their website (ususally on Monday nights at 12AM), they are called "uploads." Lululemon's sales associates are called "educators." Like most athletic brands, their proprietary technology has names like Swift, Luxtreme and Luon to describe their performance-enhancing benefits.
No. 5 - The brand once claimed that seaweed incorporated in clothing was performance-enhancing.
The 2007 investigation was conducted after The New York Times disputed SeaCell's anti-flammatory, antibacterial, hydrating and detoxifying benefits. To be fair, this was at a time when many brands staked claims in performance enhancing fabrics that were far from the truth. The brand still uses the fiber from time to time as adds a softer feel to cotton blends.
No. 4 - Naked Yoga Offers Rewards.
A 2002 marketing strategy offered a free outfit to anyone who would stand naked in the store window for 30 seconds in select locations.
No. 3 - The stylized "A" logo is based off of one of the store's previous working titles, "Athletically Hip."
The "A" stayed.
No. 2 - Those inspirational quote bags have it all.
It's not all "Dance, sing, floss & travel." Sometimes it gets...
Weird: "You only have 30,000 days to live and then you are dead."
Raunchy: "Some brief or quick-fix incidences when our minds are clear to be creative are... when drunk or stone... just after an orgasm."
Inaccurate: "Stress is related to 99% of all illness."
But as of lately the brand has traded in the quotes for more tasteful totes in minimal designs.
No. 1 - Every Lululemon offers free yoga classes.
So if you're in the market for a new pair of yoga pants or not, the occasional ommmm sesh can't hurt. Enjoy!

I'm in Ronda, Spain attempting to study abroad and learn Spanish. This is not going well. I've been bedridden the past three days and asleep for about 15 hours each of those days.
I should have seen this coming.
I saw friends in Lawrence last Wednesday before my flight. At least two were sick with sore throats. I thought the sheer importance of our friendship would protect my transcontinental health.
Sometime while boarding my flight from KCI to Atlanta, I became melodramatically sick. The captain made an overhead announcement and was probably saying something along the lines of we're going to be delayed to refuel. I don't know exactly what he said because I was too busy staring out my window with all the theatrics of Simba seeing Scar's ruined Pridelands.
My eyes closed.
My eyes opened to realize the plane was docked at an airport. 'We did it!' I think briefly. 'Atlanta!'
I was wrong. We had not yet left KCI.
At this point, I was rocking extreme body temperatures. I am to this day pretty sure actual steam emitted from my pores. I sweated through my jeans.
The Air France flight from Atlanta to Paris was similar, except offered in both French and English misery editions.
I watch a plane take off out my window as we taxi on the tarmac. 'That was rad,' I thought. If I die of exposure on this flight, at least I'll die having seen a plane take off.
I found myself freezing and feeble. My core was shaking and the other parts of me felt extra fleshy. I worried my shivering would overpower the plane's turbulence and disturb other passengers.
No one else's teeth were chattering.
I considered signaling an attendant but what would I say? I pictured myself coughing, then stuttering, "Je meurs," to some bilingual, vested man.
I wanted to access the pain reliever in my bag but was too meek to withdraw my ice fingers from where they are neatly tucked below my thighs. I decided to live through the pain.
At what would have been 1:35 a.m. EST, I got dizzy from drinking water.
A tray of morning snacks sat before me. I stared down the plain yogurt, daring it to dare me to vomit.
I remembered looking down as we descended and thinking France looks like it has a lot more dirt than I expected. My face felt long.
I sat next to a handsy Spanish couple on the flight from Paris to Málaga. They kissed between dubbed Big Bang Theory episodes. 'I haven't been kissed in days,' I thought as I blew my nose and hacked a loogie into the dirty Kleenex.
Fast-forward a few days of this bubbling under the gooey guise of jetlag.
It was 11:45 a.m. Wednesday and Will, Warren, and I — all three of the KU students in Ronda — were in a very important meeting in the Ronda program director's office.
There were just a bunch of ladies there: the director, seated behind her desk, two elderly women who are not introduced to us seated in front of her desk, and one bilingual woman who stands in front of her seat.
"So it sounds like the main problem is that you're lonely," the bilingual woman was saying.
This meeting was very important and I had to be here.
"Not exactly," Warren was saying.
I nodded, wanting to contribute.
"Making friends from other cultures is the whole reason Americans study abroad," Will was saying.
'Oh my God,' I thought, 'I am going to pass out in front of these ladies.'
At this point, I realized I was standing in a softball ready stance. I decided a symptom inventory would make me look like I was concentrating super hard on the conversation at hand rather than on remaining upright and conducted one: I was feeble, lightheaded, and dizzy. My throat was so sore I had trouble inhaling. I later found out all color had drained from my face, which made me seem usefully grave over this meeting.
I was no longer convinced I had arms and, if so, if I had manual control over such limbs. Sounds reverberated through my ear tunnels as the bilingual woman translated for the director and back.
I mumbled que voy al baño and left the room. Will and Warren found me a moment later sitting on a bench.
"I think that went as well as it could have," I think Will said.
I was now lying down on the bench.
"Do you think she really understood how big of a deal this is to us though?" I think Warren said.
I was now shivering while lying down on the bench.
"You should maybe go home," Will said.
"I'm not gonna make it," I said.
My host mom drove me to a public doctor's office that afternoon. I looked out the window, trying to keep this affair to the light vibes of a Sunday drive rather than the black end of my precious 21 years of life that I felt it was.
We drove by a boarded up shop with huge front windows for lease with a few piles of dust and trash inside. Its sign hadn't been taken down yet: "Tenemos Muchas!"
'More like "Tenemos Nada!"' I thought.
I did not share this gem out loud.
We parked. I tried to make small talk, but there are only so many things to discuss when my Spanish ability maxes out at "What kind of food do the different big cities like?"
I handed a Google Translated screen with a list of my symptoms over to the front desk. My host mom stepped in. People said words. I nodded and breathed through my mouth. The clinic is free for Spanish citizens. I think my host mom told me that my program is supposed to cover my medical needs up to a certain point, but I don't have a student card to prove so to the front desk.
My host mom left to make some calls. I took a seat and was actively not dying. People walked in and out and each time I looked up hoping it would be my host mom with antibiotics in hand.
"Apa," a baby in the waiting room repeated over and over.
"Agua, sí," its mother said.
This baby speaks Spanish as well as I do.
A doctor saw me. She spoke a little English and asked me where I was from and if I liked Ronda. She said she had moved from Argentina to Spain 10 years ago. I liked her. I asked her why she moved to Spain, she said she was Ukrainian. "Okay," I said. I tried to tell her in Spanish about my brother visiting Ukraine once. "Bueno," she said.
She looked at my throat and immediately said, "Amigolalitis!"
"No entiendo," I said.
Google Translate informed me I had tonsillitis. She said a lot of words. One of them was "antibioticos." I was calmed.

I'm so in love with magazines.
I love how it feels when you get to meet a new mag that just speaks to you, the kind that understands all your quirks and obsessions, the kind that makes you think "Where have you been all my life?"
The feeling is priceless when you discover a magazine that you love about a topic that you're passionate about. I know that's how I felt when I first got my hands on magazines that made me feel like it was made for me: Bust, Bitch, Readymade,
Oh Comely, Frankie, Lula, Martha Stewart Living and Venus Zine, among many others. In reading them, I felt connected and I instantly felt like I had new friends–new idols, new books/movies/music/noms to discover, new places to visit and most importantly, new eyes.
With the act of reading about a topic I am already passionate about, I get to learn so much more and appreciate what I already love.
It doesn't seem surprising then, that I added "Create an online zine with a fun theme per issue with things I love and think others will love too" to my grand bucket list.
I dreamt of a zine called "Matchstick", and even had my graphic designer friend create a logo for it. I contacted friends who might be interested and started coming up with stories, but life somehow got in the way. That dream still lived though. Years later, the universe would be placing me in a serendipitous situation where I would finally get to fulfill that dream.
Together with my friends, Geli, Allie, Aya and Cachi, we came up with a magazine called Katha. Since we all love arts and crafts and good design, Katha is filled with that and more–as we've mentioned in our FB page, "Katha Magazine celebrates Filipino creatives and their boundless imagination."
Today we release our very first issue. I can't be more proud of our baby! Thanks to everyone who helped us create this, we're so grateful! Thank you also to my lovely friends from the Katha team! Work seems like play with these girls. 🙂
I hope that when you read it it brings a smile to your face and that it inspires you to create, collaborate and share your passion with the world.
Happy reading! 🙂
Feel free to share the love! It's available for reading online, downloadable, and it's absolutely FREE! Clicky click here.

This has been such a fun week! It started Saturday at the Salvation Army Ladies' Auxiliary annual fabric sale, where we scored bags and bags of amazing vintage fabrics to play with and share with you. Some of them will be showing up on the site soon ... stay tuned.
Then, on Tuesday, we were featured in the Post-Gazette -- thanks so much to Clutch: Get a Hold of Style author Sarah Sudar for doing a fantastic job telling our story! This girl really hustles to connect the threads here in Pittsburgh.
Yesterday, we were stoked to see that the always inspiring Pop City decided to write about us, too. I just love Pop City -- I always feel so happy about our town and what's going on here whenever I read it. And Innovation Editor Deb Smit, who wrote about us, totally gets it!
We've also been working on beefing up our website this week to include more photos, more information, and more fun. We added a video to the front page and new sections describing our shifts and slips in detail.
As we worked on drafts of this text, I remembered a piece written by Sci-fi author and Viridian Design visionary Bruce Sterling. We quoted a bit of it on our shift page, but I think the whole quote (and the whole piece) is worth reading and thinking about:
It's not bad to own fine things that you like. What you need are things that you GENUINELY like. Things that you cherish, that enhance your existence in the world. The rest is dross.
Do not "economize." Please. That is not the point. The economy is clearly insane. Even its champions are terrified by it now. It's melting the North Pole. So "economization" is not your friend. Cheapness can be value-less. Voluntary simplicity is, furthermore, boring. Less can become too much work.
The items that you use incessantly, the items you employ every day, the normal, boring goods that don't seem luxurious or romantic: these are the critical ones. They are truly central. The everyday object is the monarch of all objects.
I thought about this again as I tidied up my closet last night. I have sooo many clothes in there! Many of them were bought on sale or at thrift stores -- bargains, sure, except for the fact that I hardly ever wear them. Instead, almost every day, I find myself reaching for a shift.
For me, the shift has become the monarch of all outfits, replacing dozens of not-quite-right "great deals." And my attitude toward shopping has changed, too -- I no longer salivate when I find myself in a freshly restocked Target, because I know that, no matter how many things I try on, none of them will compare to my lovely comfy shifts.
And I can't help but wonder -- what would the world look like if a bunch of us got used to and refused to settle for less than the highest possible quality? How much waste could we avoid? And how would it feel?
I propose that we find out together. :)

As a wedding vendor, we often get asked to participate in styled shoots. But this one, was...different. Callie Chewning Murray asked if we could transform an ordinary styled shoot to the most unordinary, real and completely surprise wedding. I told her that if it was close by, we could totally pull it off and Callie responded asking, "How about your house?" It hit close to home....and we said, YES!
We weren't going to be home when she first arrived to get ready, so we left her a note to welcome her to her big day. Apparently, she likes notes, too!
How exactly does a surprise wedding work? Great question.
Jennifer and Brian planned to go to the courthouse to share their vows after their marital plans were influenced by Brian's job calling him out of the country. Jennifer longed to walk down the aisle with her father and to see the expression on her groom's face as she walked to join her life to his. She eagerly wanted to celebrate with loved ones and have these memories to cherish, but unfortunately they seemed out of reach.
With only a couple of weeks notice, she shared her sweet sentiments with her friend, Callie, who brilliantly set this surprise into motion. With quick plans, Callie pulled together a team to love on this sweet couple before they were to leave the country. Like that, the surprise was set.
So, when Brian thought they were going to the courthouse, he was welcomed to this scene: his own wedding.
Nicole, from GingerSpice Bakery, deservingly distracted the team a bit when she brought in this beauty. I absolutely love cake, and required all of our strength to keep ourselves from enjoying a piece before Brian and Jennifer.
And, it was more than just pretty, it was AH-MA-ZINGLY yummy.
What a joyful and memorable night! We were so thankful to be able to share our home for this unforgettable experience!
Our neighbors loved "porch sitting" and having front row seats to celebrate this couple's love of this couple.
May life continue to surprise you with new wonders and mercies as you now walk together. And, of course, our porch is open anytime! Happy Ever After, Jennifer + Brian.
Here are some amazing moments from the day: When the groom saw this sign was when he realized he was never going to the courthouse.
His sweet mom slowly approached him with a smile and greeted him to pin on his boutonniere. That was Jonathan's cue to begin that sweet strum that started the moment Jennifer began her walk to meet her man!
When Jonathan, the musician, was asked to serenade the couple, he was curious to if he could bring his wife Emily -- it was already a planned "date night" :) Her being there actually allowed some of their loved ones who couldn't travel to join the festivities through FaceTime. What did we do before FaceTime?!?
What did we do before FaceTime?!?
There's just so much to say about this wedding -- I can't keep it all in!!!!!
I especially love the pictures of both her walk with her dad to her groom, and her fun dance with him to celebrate. It was so personal to me because my family has seen many celebrations around this firepit -- graduations, engagements, promotions. But, never have we been able to celebrate something to the extravagance of this: holy matrimony.
We worked with Miss Milly's wildly talented team to style a southern charm setting to invite the guests to sit and share an incredible evening.
The groom wasn't the only experiencing surprises. Jennifer had a few details planned for her enjoyment, one of which being the Refuge Coffee Company food truck who joined the celebration with their awesome coffee brews! (The coffee company's story is incredibly unique - be sure to check them out.)

Napoleon Gomez, leader of one of Mexico's independent trade union, Los Mineros, has won the 2014 Arthur Svensson International Prize for Trade Union Rights.
The prize is awarded annually by Industri Energy (IE), Norway's energy sector union, to recognize people whose work has strengthened and promoted trade union rights.
Gomez is the general secretary of Los Mineros, one of Mexico's most militant and successful independent unions in a country where most unions have close ties to employers, the government, or both.
Los Mineros has worked hard to organize workers and give them a collective voice on the job. It also has a consistent record of winning solid contracts that raise wages and benefits for its members.
As a result of its work, Los Mineros' leaders and members have faced government repression and employer reprisals. Gomez himself has been forced into exile by the government.
A recent Los Mineros victory shows how the union has been able to persevere and win victories in the face of intense opposition.
Los Mineros on May 4 was recognized as the union representing workers at Teksid Iron in the Mexican state of Coahuila. The workers stopped work on May 2 to protest the company's refusal to bargain with Los Mineros.
The company previously had an agreement with CTM, a company union, but CTM failed to address workers' grievances.
When the company agreed to recognize Los Mineros, it also agreed to make a profit sharing payment owed but not paid to the workers by the end of the week.
In addition, three Los Mineros members who were fired for union activity were reinstated.
In April, Los Mineros supporters at Teksid were attacked and beaten by thugs as the workers left a union meeting.
Gomez recently wrote a book, The Collapse of Dignity, about the tragic deaths of 65 miners, buried alive in 2006 by a mine explosion at the Pasta de Conchos coal mine in Coahuila.
After the explosion, Grupo Mexico, the mine's owner, spent most of its time and resources on a public relations campaign that sought to absolve the company of responsibility for the explosion. In the meantime, the company dragged its feet on rescue efforts.
Gomez writes that the neglect that led up to the disaster and the cover up that followed are glaring examples of the corruption that defines labor relations in Mexico.
Gomez and Los Mineros have exposed this corruption in their struggle to build an independent and democratic trade union movement.
As a result, the Mexican government, which has worked with companies like Grupo Mexico to repress the independent union movement, has tried to jail Gomez on trumped-up charges.
In 2005, Gomez was charged with illegally transferring pension funds to the union's bank account.
Five appellate courts ruled that the charges had no legal foundation, but the Mexican government continued to pursue charges forcing Gomez into exile.
The Mexican government has a history of colluding with employers to use the law enforcement system to harass and intimidate independent union advocates.
In the book Invisible Hands: Voices from the Global Economy, Martin Barrios tells his story of government harassment.
Barrios, a founder and leader of the Commission for Human and Labor Rights in Tehucan Valley, was helping garment workers in the Tehucan Valley organize.
One day he was arrested and charged with blackmailing the employer of a small garment factory. According to Barrios' arrest warrant, Barrios had demanded that the employer pay Barrios $150,000 or the labor organizer would mobilize the employers' workers to strike.
When the police asked the owner to identify Barrios as the culprit, the owner refused to do so.
Nevertheless, the police kept Barrios in jail for months as they tried to build a case against him. Despite attempts to force a confession from Barrios, the authorities failed to make their case and eventually had to free him.
Gomez instead of rotting in jail decided to leave Mexico. He found refuge in Canada where he continues to lead Los Mineros in absentia.
In June, Gomez will travel to Norway where he will receive the prize, which includes a monetary award of more than US$87,000.

How to Make a Ramen Burger
Ever heard of the ramen burger? They're probably the biggest thing since sliced bread, and for good reason too! Ramen burgers combine the perfect balance of crispiness, juiciness, and bizarre all into one package. They're easy to make, delicious to eat, and above all incredible to enjoy. When you're out of those bread buns, pick up a ramen packet to satisfy your burger cravings.
- 1 Ramen Packet
- ¼ Quarter Pound of Beef
- 1 Large Egg
- Lettuce
- Tomato
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- 4 Tablespoons of Vegetable Oil
- Boil the ramen according to the package directions. Once it's done set aside the flavor packet for later. You can use it to season your beef or throw it away.
- Crack the egg into a medium-sized bowl. Whisk it before adding in the drained ramen. Make sure to mix the ramen up well with the egg until the egg is almost done. The egg will help to hold the ramen together.
- Get two small bowls and place half of the ramen in each bowl. Place a cookie sheet of plastic or cookie sheet over each half of ramen in the bowl. Stack the bowls on top of each other, and if necessary place a can of soup on top. This will help the ramen to form its 'bun' shape. Place the ramen in the refrigerator for fifteen minutes.
- While the ramen is setting in the freezer preheat your pan. Bring it up to medium heat and add in the oil. Once the ramen is done setting in the freezer pull it out.
- Gently tap the ramen into your hand with the plastic or cookie sheet still attached. You want the ramen to hold its shape at this point. Once you have the ramen out gently deposit it into the pre-heated pan. Allow the ramen to fry in the pan for about two minutes before flipping it over. You want the ramen to be golden brown on both sides so it's set as the 'bun' base.
- Cook the other half of your ramen bun before adding in the beef. Add any desired spices during this cooking process. Remember to spread any desired sauces onto your ramen ahead of time. You can also use the seasoning packet at this time to season the beef if you so desire.
- Add the desired fixings to your ramen buns, add the beef patty, and enjoy.
The ramen burger is quick, easy to make, and delicious to eat. While it's not the healthiest dish for you, it's certainly one of the most unique ones you can whip up for dinner.

Barolo 2012 Brunate, Damilano
Meet our Wine Director, Josh Farrell
This 2012 delivers beautifully balance, intesely flavored Nebbiolo grapes, and scored 92 points from Wine Spectator!
About Barolo 2012 Brunate, Damilano
Damilano Wine Company is one of the oldest wineries in Barolo with historic traditions. The Damilano family business dates back to 1890 when Giuseppe Borgogno, the great grandfather of the winery's current owners, began to vinify his own estate wines. It is with great passion that Giacomo Damilano, the founder's son-in-law, developed with his children a love for the vineyards, selecting and maintaining them with great care in order to improve the quality of the wines. Over time, the winery's production was transformed into a jewel that was passed down with pride in 1997 to Giacomo's grandchildren, who continue to manage the winery today. The Brunate vineyard in La Morra is highly prized for Barolo. 1000 feet above sea level with southern exposure and soil composed of 25% sand, 45% limestone and 30% clay, Brunate delivers beautifully balance, intensely flavored Nebbiolo grapes. Damilano sources from blocks with mature 30 year old vines. The wine is aged 24 months in large oak barrels and 12 months in the bottle. This 2012 scored 92 points from Wine Spectator who said "A juicy, vibrant style, this offers cherry, strawberry, spice and tea flavors, backed by a firm structure. Stays tight and compact on the finish, with enough complexity to show potential. Best from 2019 through 2030."

Malcolm McLaren dies
Malcolm McLaren, the former manager of the Sex Pistols and impresario, has died. He was 64.
McLaren was best known as the manager of the iconic punk band The Sex Pistols. He achieved the notoriety that never left him when The Sex Pistols' anti-establishment single God Save The Queen stole the number one spot during the Queen's silver jubilee in 1977.
I think this means that I am now officially OLD.

projekt202 sponsored a standout night of stand-up comedy on April 20.
The Dallas Comedy House in Deep Ellum was the site for the Digital Dallas StartUp Comedy Roast. Digital Dallas teamed with Launch DFW to host -- and then roast -- five new North Texas companies.
Each of the five Dallas startups had two minutes to impress the crowd. The DCH improv troupe then piped in with its comedic take for a truly unique type of user experience.

Boise has quietly unveiled its next generation of parking meters. Fifty-eight new meters are expected to be in place in the coming weeks. The first ones have quietly appeared on Bannock Street, between Eighth Street and Capitol Boulevard. More are expected in Boise's BODO district.
"I think they're pretty spiffy looking," said Rob Centeno as he exited his SUV. "Wait, is there a 20-minute button?"
Centeno scanned the digital face of the "modern meter," as the city is calling them, looking for the button that gives a free 20 minutes of parking time.
"As long as there's a 20-minute button, I'm good," said Centeno.
A senior gentleman named Spencer Wood, however, struggled to find the button, giving up to duck inside the post office.
"I'm done with that," he said. "I can't figure this out."
The meters to be installed in BODO will be somewhat different. Parking spaces will be numbered and motorists will pay a central machine that serves multiple spaces.
"We've got these machines from May to June, maybe a bit into July," said Max Clark, Capital City Development Corporation's parking and facilities director. "We'll collect data on ease of use and what people think of them."
Some of the new meters (approximately 10 percent) will be accompanied by street sensors, designed to detect the presence of a vehicle.
"[The sensors] won't have a camera to detect when a car has come or gone," said Clark.
But they will know the vehicle's length of stay and keep button-happy residents from ducking out to repeatedly press the 20-minute button. The meters run on solar power.
"Our meter enforcement shuts off at 6 o'clock, so you can shut them off and actually save the batteries," said Craig Croner with Boise's Administrative Services Division.
The technology also offers an option to pay by cellphone.
"If you subscribe to the service, you will get a prompt on your cellphone, and you can pay for an extra hour," said Clark.

Official SantaCon Guidelines:
Santa doesn't drink & drive and neither should you. If you're going to drink you must make sure that you can get safely home without driving yourself. Check public transport, carpool with a designated sober driver, make arrangements to sleep over at someone's place etc.
- Santa does not make children cry. Really, if you see kids, don't do anything to freak them out. Give them a nice smile and possibly a gift of some kind (toys, candy etc). Parents and tourists are a different matter altogether – adjust your behavior based on their attitude.
- Santa dresses for all occasions. It's December. Smart santas wear multiple costume layers. Dress to maximize merriment whether singing Christmas carols in the snow, or swinging from a stripper pole in a hot nightclub.
- Santa doesn't whine! We will be outside a lot and commuting mainly on foot – bring enough "snacks" to keep your pie-hole filled until we get indoors.
- Bring gifts: NAUGHTY gifts to give grown ups; NICE stuff to give kids. Throwing coal at people is discouraged no matter who they are. YES THAT INCLUDES POLITICIANS. But giving out coal might actually be appreciated.
- Watching santa get drunk and rowdy is fun. Babysitting santa while he vomits in an alley is not. Don't be that santa.
- Make sure you always pay for your beer and tip the bar staff. We want to be able to do this again so be polite and cultivate the goodwill of the local community.
- Please pay for your drinks as soon as you get them. Santas get tired of waiting on other santas to clear their tab before being able to move on. This entire adventure should be cash only.
- "No santa's left behind!" Don't think only of yourself – Santa is not inconsiderate of his fellow santas like that. Pick a few people you know and keep an eye out for them when it's time to move to the next location. If you don't see them, speak up so other santas know to wait a moment. Every santa should have at least 2-3 other santas they look out for and 2-3 that look out for them in turn.
- Stay with the group. It's not just a case of "the more, the merrier" – Santa is safer with large numbers of fellow santas and what one santa can't achieve (or get away with) is a possibility for 50 or more!
- Dress up! You don't have to dress exactly like Santa. In fact, unusual interpretations of Santa-ness are much appreciated, both by those we bring joy to – as well as your fellow santas: elves, reindeer themes etc. are fine as well!
- Please remember that this is all about having fun. Most santas like to take their fun with a little alcohol which is fine. What is not fine, however, is getting completely sh#t-faced to the point that santas end up being abusive or violent. Remember that there is no "bail fund" for incarcerated santas and if you cross the line you'll be on your own.
- You MUST address everyone as "Santa."
- You SHOULD "ho-ho-ho" like Santa.
- You OUGHT to give out gifts like Santa.
- You MIGHT want to drink like Santa
- Santa doesn't talk to the press. Even "Ho-ho-ho" is too dangerous these days.
- Santa doesn't get arrested
- If you have reached this rule, it means you didn't get locked into a loop reading the guidelines over and over again as per the previous rule. You are therefore intelligent enough to take part in SantaCon!

Final Fantasy VI (GBA) Color Restoration Patch 1.0
To accommodate for the undersized, relatively dark monitor of the Game Boy Advance, a variety of colors in Final Fantasy VI Advance exhibit a higher degree of saturation than that of the earlier versions. Consequently, the graphics generally appear brighter, and certain colors diverge significantly from their original specifications. As such, the purpose of this patch is to restore the colors to their former state.
Change log (1.0):
