Great, pic, hope he didn't hang out there too long!
My goal is to show something new every week from where I live, work and play.
Please leave a comment and let me know you are watching. Also, if you have something to say that makes the image better, please say so. Granted, we all try to do our best. But unless we get genuine feedback on how we can be better, how can we become better? I always try to learn. So please, let me know what does not work as well as what does work.
Thank you

Roger Federer vs. Juan Martin Del Potro- 2011 Cincinnati Open Match Preview
Reads: 9,019, Comments: 0
Reads: 9,019, Comments: 0
16 time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer takes on arch rival and Argentine superstar Juan Martin Del Potro to kick start his title defence at the 2011 Western and Southern Open, an ATP World Tour 1000 event being played here in Cincinnati, USA.
Federer is not only carrying an obscene amount of pain from the loss handed by del Potro in the previous two encounters, he is also hoping to settle scores with the man who has deprived him wins in two very big tournaments of the 2009 season, the US Open and Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. Clearly disturbed by a low title tally count and a literal 'flop show' this year, Federer's only solace came on the red clay where he managed to beat an undefeated Novak Djokovic and reached the final as well. Federer is in a stage of his career where every tournament win will count multifolds and will also act as a bonus to what he has already achieved in the sport during his prime.
Federer's opponent today, Argentine Juan Martin Del Potro inarguably is one of the finest hardcourt players of his generation. After a return to winner's circle in Delray Beach from a year long injury hiatus, Del Potro found more success in Estoril to claim his second title of the season. Del Potro also made it to the fourth round of Wimbledon along with a semifinal appearance in Indian Wells.
Both players have contested eight matches already and Federer leads the head-to-heaad 6-2. Del Potro, who has wins from the last two encounters, will be looking forward to outclass the defending champion Federer for the third time in a row.
Roger Federer, however, has other plans. The Swiss maestro last collected the winner's silverware in Doha at the start of the year and is very keen on keeping the winner's trophy from Cincinnati in his personal showcase.
Federer is expected to come out a winner in this match, but only after three sets of gruelling struggle.
TennisEarth.com's Pick- Roger Federer in three closely contested sets.

Man killed in Huntington Beach crash ID'd
HUNTINGTON BEACH – A 77-year-old man killed in a crash at an intersection Saturday has been identified as George Malouff, Jr., authorities said.
The crash involving a silver 1999 Toyota 4Runner and a silver 2005 Nissan Altima occurred about 8:45 p.m. near Newland Street and Talbert Avenue, said Huntington Beach police Sgt. David Dereszynski in a prepared statement.
Malouff, who was alone in the Altima, died at the scene. The other driver, a 51-year-old woman, was also alone. She was taken to UCI Medical Center with moderate injuries, Dereszynski said.
Malouff was heading westbound on Talbert Avenue when he collided with the 4Runner, which was traveling northbound on Newland Street, Dereszynski said. No details were available on the cause of the crash.
Anyone who witnessed the crash was asked to call the Huntington Beach Police Department at 714-536-5670. .

Cairns of Laufskalavarda
October 27, 2011
Photographer: Stu Witmer
Summary Author: Stu Witmer
The photo above shows a small fraction of the hundreds of cairns, both large and small, that populate a stretch of the Myrdalssandur, a huge alluvial plain that covers over 270 sq mi (700 sq km) between south Iceland's Myrdalsjokull glacier and the sea. Myrdalsjokull is the fourth-largest glacier in Iceland and it completely covers the Katla caldera. Katla, considered the most dangerous volcano in Iceland, has erupted many times since its first recorded eruption in 894. According to tradition, a farm known as Laufskalar (Icelandic farms have names that stay with them over the years and through changes of ownership) was destroyed in that eruption, which created a lava mound that has since been named Laufskalavarda ("Laufskalar Cairn"). Somehow, it came to be a tradition that travelers passing this spot for the first time would add a stone to the cairn for good luck. Over time, leaving a single stone evolved into building an entire cairn. Some of the hundreds of cairns can be rather large and complex, while others are just a few simple stones. Despite the fact that the Public Roads Administration has reportedly moved a supply of stones to the site "to help continue the tradition," finding enough loose rock to make a cairn can be challenging.

Lasagna made of bread?

Hello M & D,
You didnt need to tell me that :P

You know I had to come looking for the bread lasagna recipe that you mentioned! It sounds really really good! The last week has been a total revelation for me on all the possibilities of stale bread. Who would have thought!
- Clare Eats said...
Hi Michele
When I saw it, I was suprised too.. when I tased it I was sold, it was awesome. The original recipe just had mozzarella instead of the cheese mix I made up. But I liked it like that, and I just used up leftovers.
I thought if you can get awesome stale bread... you should give this a chance.
let me know how it goes - 5/18/2005 05:34:00 PM
- esther said...
hey, this looks awesome. I used to be a bit grossed out by the idea of bread cooking but my mum turned me around. She makes all those Italian dishes like bread soup, bread salad and a garlic and bread dip. Plus we always have so much stale bread in my house because my housemates are incapable of finishing one load before starting another so I reckon I'll try this.
glad to stumble across your site via yr comment. yum. - 5/21/2005 03:17:00 PM

Hi Esther :)
The bread lasanga is great.
I hope you like it, let me know please - 5/21/2005 03:21:00 PM

Opening Your Eyes to Fungi
August 31, 2009 at 5:00 am 5 comments
Earlier this year, I ran across a wonderful quote by Alexander Graham Bell:
We are all too much inclined to walk through life with our eyes shut. There are things all around us, and right at our very feet, that we have never seen; because we have never really looked.
Bell's thoughts were particularly fitting a few weeks ago when Tony Airaghi and I hiked the 0.6 miles to the giant Keffer Oak. We brought along a copy of the National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms. With our eyes on the lookout, this section of trail– mind you a section I have done numerous times before– unveiled a whole other world. We found mushrooms all around us, sometimes right at our very feet.
We found so many mushrooms, in fact, our journey to the Keffer Oak was incredibly slow. Every few steps, we spotted another specimen and began flipping through the field guide again.
Tony Looking Up More Mushrooms
It took us well over an hour to make it to the tree. Where, with our eyes calibrated for fungus, we discovered yet another mushroom– this one growing right on the giant oak. : )
Tony with Mushroom Growing on Keffer Oak
With all these new discoveries on a familiar section of trail, I have to applaud Alexander Graham Bell. When it came to fungus, I was all too inclined to walk this section with my eyes shut.
More pictures of our mushroom discoveries and the hike to Keffer Oak can be found on my Flickr site.
P.S. Do not eat anything based on my photo captions. We are beginners and have very little confidence in our identifications!
Appalachian Trail – Keffer Oak
Length: 1.2 miles round trip Elevation Gain: There is a brief hill near the beginning of the trail, but nothing too scary. Driving and Parking: The roads are all paved and there is a small gravel parking lot at the VA-630 trailhead. Directions from Blacksburg, VA Turn right on VA-629 |

I was going to make a comment "with all these probablys, please don't try to eat one". You beat me to it.
Not probablys, possibles.
There's a course up in Pt. Reyes where people can go out with a mushroom expert and sample the edibles. Apparently it takes years of training to reach that point…
@geekhiker– I would TOTALLY love a course like that!
@Anne – You don't have to worry about someone with emetophobia in their past haphazardly eating mushrooms. I know what they could do. 🙂
[…] 2, 2009 Tony Airaghi and I may have been focused on mushrooms near Keffer Oak, but it was hard to ignore the summer wildflowers. Here are some of my favorite shots. So much to […]

1 It came upon the midnight clear,
that glorious song of old,
from angels bending near the earth
to touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, good will to all,
from heaven's all gracious King":
the world in solemn stillness lay
to hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come,
with peaceful wings unfurled,
and still their heavenly music floats
o'er all the weary world;
above its sad and lowly plains
they bend on hovering wing,
and ever o'er its Babel sounds
the blessed angels sing.
3 For lo, the days are hastening on,
by prophets seen of old,
when, with the ever-circling years,
shall come the time foretold,
when peace shall over all the earth
its ancient splendors fling,
and all the world give back the song
which now the angels sing.

One Chicago mom's attempt to keep an accurate log so her kids will have something helpful to show the therapists.
Saturday, December 8, 2012
The Post for People Who Like Short Posts
First up - my Aunt Ellen just sent this classic photo of me standing up in her wedding (a follow up to the Chicago Parent story on my love of cake). I had THE look of the era - a 1978 Dorothy Hamill haircut.
Everyone thought I was a boy.
Second - thank you to the fabulous blogger Mama Melch for asking her daughter Annika to "review" the new book! I'm trying not to take her comments too personally, given that I apparently rate somewhere between Dora and Caillou. Check out her comments at Midwestern Berliners.
Alright. Best get back to enforcing a marathon piano practice session before the big recital. Stay tuned!
29 comments:
Oh, man! My sister always told me I should get the Dorothy Hammil cut when I was a kid. Never mind that I have naturally curly hair and this was WAY before flat irons were invented. Funny, because at the time, I had long hair. I was going for the Jan Brady look, also impossible with curly hair.
ReplyDelete- AnonymousDecember 8, 2012 at 3:41 PM
Are you sure that's not Dan?
Your Ethical Atheist Friend I think your Aunt was totally trying to blackmail you with this photo. Smart move plastering it all over the Internet like you did. Now she knows her ploy was useless.
ReplyDeleteToo cute with the picture!! So neat you shared it with us too!! WTG on the review!!!
(I might do an entry on the rum cake when we make it for Christmas in a few weeks; it really is delicious. Friends of ours made rum cakes for friends at Christmastime when we lived in Montana. They were always coveted to get and once you were on the list, you were never off the list unless you moved or died. We moved. She shared the recipe with us after we moved saying not to share it with anyone else, but I'm thnking after six years since we moved and no one from Montana follows my blog, I might just share it come Christmas....its easy to make too!)
bettyI had a Dorothy Hamill cut, but sadly, it want horribly wrong. I had wavy/curly hair and oh my gosh, the cowlicks! My hair never would lay flat, it was awful. Yours looks very cute!
ReplyDeleteAww - the haircut was so stylish at that time, though. I have VERY curly hair and my mother chopped it all off when I was in the 1st grade because she was sick of having to brush it out all the time. Until I grew it back in 7th or 8th grade - everyone thought I was a boy, too.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted long, braided hair, like Laura Ingalls. Instead, my mom insisted on a short, not-quite Dorothy Hamill style because, it seems, I wasn't good at taking care of my hair when I was 7. Sigh. If I could do it all over, I swear, I would brush my hair every day!
ReplyDeleteYou rate far, far above Dora and the insufferable Caillou. You're in like, Gummi Bears territory to me. Or Duck Tales. Or even Zoobilee Zoo.

Introduction |
Jackson's Valley Campaign |
Nathaniel Banks |
General George McClellan is threatening Richmond with a huge army. A key component of McClellan's grand strategy is to have his army outside of Richmond reinforced from the North by General McDowell. With the combined armies, McClellan can crush any confederate army. General Stonewall Jackson is ordered to create a threat against Washington to keep additional union forces from joining McClellan. Jackson has a tiny, inexperienced army, but he will conduct a brilliant campaign of manuever and ultimately rescue Richmond. |

Scientific Name:Ornithoptera alexandrae
Other Names and/or Listed subspecies:Troides alexandrae, Zeunera alexandrae
Area(s) Where Listed As Endangered:Papua New Guinea
The Queen Alexandra's birdwing butterfly is a very rare species and only found in one location east of the Owen Stanley Mountains in northern Papua New Guinea. This butterfly was named after Queen Alexandra of England (1844-1925). Adult females can reach up to 3.2 inches in head and body length and their wingspans can grow up to ten inches long making this creature the largest butterfly in the world. Males are smaller and much brighter in color than females with blue and green markings and a bright yellow abdomen. Females are brown with cream spots and a cream-colored body with a red tuft of fur on the thorax. The Queen Alexandra's birdwing butterfly is a tropical butterfly and prefers lowland coastal rainforest for its habitat. As a caterpillar, it feeds on its own eggshell immediately after hatching, then it feeds on the aristolochia plant (Aristolochia schlecteri). This plant contains a poisonous substance that when digested makes the caterpillar become distasteful to predators. Adults do not eat but only sip the nectar plants with their proboscis (long, tube-like tongue). To reproduce, these butterflies depend on the aristolochia, and it is the only plant in the area where females will lay their eggs so that the young caterpillars may feed on the leaves after hatching. This butterfly is restricted to only a few valleys in Papua New Guinea making it susceptible to habitat loss due to agriculture, logging, and human encroachment. Also this species attracts collectors who prize this butterfly's beauty, size and coloration, resulting in capture and shipment to other countries. Since the species is listed as endangered, it is now illegal to capture and sell specimens.

Like being in Mexico We put up heavy duty rings in our wall, then used "S" hooks so that we could enjoy our hammock indoors. I love the material. Can use as is in the summer or layer with a blanket in the winter. To wash tie in several nots so it won"t tangle and put it in a large garment bag. Hang to dry.

Deluxe hammock I bought this hammock for the backyard and ended up taking it on a camping trip. It was a hit. Everyone lined up for their turn. As soon as someone got out of it, someone else was taking over. It is a great size for two people as well. So, if you want to snuggle, there is plenty of room.

Car Accident Lawyers Serving Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake & all of Virginia (VA)
Shapiro, Appleton & Duffan is a personal injury law firm in Virginia Beach comprised of experienced attorneys who exclusively handle serious injury cases including Norfolk car accidents, Virginia Beach accidents between cars and commercial trucks, wrongful death, motorcycle accidents, medical malpractice, railroad worker injuries (FELA), boating accidents, defective product injuries, and so forth. Since establishing the firm in 1985, we have represented thousands of Virginia Beach/Norfolk clients and obtained millions of dollars in settlements and jury verdicts.
Reputation Matters When Negotiating a Settlement in Your Case
The insurance companies and claims adjusters consider who they are up against when determining whether to offer a sizable settlement for a Norfolk car accident, Virginia Beach truck accident, or motorcycle accident injury claim. That is where we can help:
- Tier 1 Best Law Firm (U.S. News & World Report, since '10) for personal injury law and railroad worker injury law.
- Recognized as Virginia "Super Lawyers" (since '06), an accolade only 5 percent of practicing attorneys attain.
- "AV" Preeminent Rating from Martindale-Hubbell, the highest rating a law firm can receive from this distinguished publication.
- 10.0 Superb Rating on Avvo, a prominent attorney-rating web site.
- A+ Rating by the Better Business Bureau.
- Editors of a nationally-recognized web site, Legal Examiner (a publication dedicated to advancing public safety issues).
- Track record of large, multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements including a record-setting $60 million (w/ interest) jury verdict and a $2.5 million wrongful death jury verdict.
Our Firm Handles All Types of Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Cases
- Car accidents - Serious car crashes often occur on Interstate 64 (I-64), Interstate 264 (I-264), Interstate 664 (I-664), Virginia Beach Boulevard, Hampton Boulevard, and the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. These car accidents can cause serious harm requiring weeks or months of rehabilitation and missed time from work. Our team of Virginia Beach car accident lawyers can help.
- Truck accidents – Getting hit by a tractor-trailer, big rig, or 18-wheeler on Interstate 81 (I-81) in Roanoke, Interstate 664 (I-664), I-95, or anywhere else can be a life-altering incident. Large commercial trucks cause significant damage to smaller vehicles. In addition, large trucking companies employ large teams of defense lawyers and claims adjusters. Level the playing field by hiring one of our experienced Virginia Beach truck accident lawyers.
- Wrongful death – Losing a loved one is heartbreaking and can be especially traumatic if the loss is sudden and unexpected (like losing someone in an accident). Let us help take some of the burden off your shoulders so you can focus on the grieving process.
- Traumatic brain injuries – Serious accidents can result in you or a loved one suffering a traumatic brain injury or serious head wound that may result in memory loss, speed loss, and/or the inability to use your arms or legs. Our firm has significant experience handling traumatic brain injury cases. In fact, our firm (along with co-counsel) obtain a record-setting $60 million jury verdict involving a client who suffered a serious brain injury.
- Medical malpractice – The bond between a patient and doctor is sacred since it is based on trust. When a doctor, nurse, or other medical professional makes a preventable mistake during surgery (e.g., severed ureter, cut bowel, intubation injury, etc.) it not only causes physical harm, but is a violation of trust.
- Railroad worker injuries – If you or a loved one was hurt while working for a railroad like Norfolk Southern, CSX, Burlington Northern, etc. you may have a claim under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA). Our Virginia railroad injury law firm has decades of experience representing injured trainmen, switchmen, engineers, conductors, etc. In fact, our railroad injury law firm was founded by a former railroad worker who got hurt on the job, then decided to go to law school and represent fellow railroaders.
- Railroad worker diseases – Whether you were diagnosed with mesothelioma due to asbestos exposure or developed lung cancer after breathing in diesel exhaust fumes for years, we can help. Claims brought by railroad workers based upon a life-threatening disease also fall under the FELA.
- Defective products and dangerous drugs – If you or a loved one was harmed by a defective product or prescription drug, you may be able to file a claim against the manufacturer for your injuries, time missed from work, and pain and suffering.
- Other serious accident and injuries – Whether you were seriously hurt in a motorcycle accident, boat accident, slip and fall, or suffered an electric shock, our team of injury attorneys in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake are here to help.

Top Ten Characters I Wish I Could BFF's With!
21 comments:
Excellent list Debbie. How I wish I had read all of these too. Yes I will some day, but not soon enough for my liking. I'm quite desperate to read Toby Alone and Clarice Bean especially. I haven't even read Clown, and I just love Quentin Blake. I'll try and remedy this soon, since you've put him at the top of your list. I must agree with you though about the BFG. He is totally cool. I'd love to check out his dream jar collection. You couldn't hang out too long though, otherwise he might offer to share his meal.
ReplyDeleteOh some really good ones on here! The BFG is amazing and would be totally helpful to have around. Half Magic is a fantastic read that so rarely gets any attention anymore - great that you included it! And I always liked Laura from the Little House series (her sister Mary, on the other hand...)
ReplyDeleteFun and imaginative list. I too had Stargirl on mine. I hadn't ever thought that she and Maniac Magee were one in the same. Hum. I'll have to think on that for a while.

Mark Steyn: Cooking the books on climate
My favorite moment in the Climategate/Climaquiddick scandal currently roiling the "climate change" racket was Stuart Varney's interview on Fox News with the actor Ed Begley Jr., star of the 1980s medical drama "St Elsewhere" but latterly better known, as is the fashion with members of the thespian community, as an "activist." He's currently in a competition with Bill Nye ("the Science Guy") to see who can have the lowest "carbon footprint." Pistols at dawn would seem the quickest way of resolving that one, but presumably you couldn't get a reality series out of it. Anyway, Ed was relaxed about the mountain of documents recently leaked from Britain's Climate Research Unit, in which the world's leading climate-change warm-mongers e-mail each other back and forth on how to "hide the decline" and other interesting matters.
Nothing to worry about, folks. "We'll go down the path and see what happens in peer-reviewed studies," said Ed airily. "Those are the key words here, Stuart. 'Peer-reviewed studies.'"
Hang on. Could you say that again more slowly so I can write it down? Not to worry. Ed said it every 12 seconds, as if it were the magic charm that could make all the bad publicity go away. He wore an open-necked shirt, and, although I don't have a 76-inch HDTV, I wouldn't have been surprised to find a talismanic peer-reviewed amulet nestling in his chest hair for additional protection. "If these scientists have done something wrong, it will be found out and their peers will determine it," insisted Ed. "Don't get your information from me, folks, or any newscaster. Get it from people with Ph.D. after their names. 'Peer-reviewed studies' is the key words. And if it comes out in peer-reviewed studies."
Got it: Pier-reviewed studies. You stand on the pier, and you notice the tide seems to be coming in a little higher than it used to and you wonder if it's something to do with incandescent light bulbs killing the polar bears? Is that how it works?
No, no, peer-reviewed studies. "Peer-reviewed studies. Go to Science magazine, folks. Go to Nature," babbled Ed. "Read peer-reviewed studies. That's all you need to do. Don't get it from you or me."
Look for the peer-reviewed label! And then just believe whatever it is they tell you!
The trouble with outsourcing your marbles to the peer-reviewed set is that, if you take away one single thing from the leaked documents, it's that the global warm-mongers have wholly corrupted the "peer-review" process. When it comes to promoting the impending ecopalypse, the Climate Research Unit is the nerve-center of the operation. The "science" of the CRU dominates the "science" behind the United Nations IPCC, which dominates the "science" behind the Congressional cap-and-trade boondoggle, the upcoming Copenhagen shakindownen of the developed world, and the now-routine phenomenon of leaders of advanced, prosperous societies talking like gibbering madmen escaped from the padded cell, whether it's President Barack Obama promising to end the rise of the oceans or the Prince of Wales saying we only have 96 months left to save the planet.
But don't worry, it's all "peer-reviewed."
Here's what Phil Jones of the CRU and his colleague Michael Mann of Penn State mean by "peer review". When Climate Research published a paper dissenting from the Jones-Mann "consensus," Jones demanded that the journal "rid itself of this troublesome editor," and Mann advised that "we have to stop considering Climate Research as a legitimate peer-reviewed journal. Perhaps we should encourage our colleagues in the climate research community to no longer submit to, or cite papers."
So much for Climate Research. When Geophysical Research Letters also showed signs of wandering off the "consensus" reservation, Dr. Tom Wigley ("one of the world's foremost experts on climate change") suggested they get the goods on its editor, Jim Saiers, and go to his bosses at the American Geophysical Union to "get him ousted." When another pair of troublesome dissenters emerge, Dr. Jones assured Dr. Mann, "I can't see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report. Kevin and I will keep them out somehow – even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!"
Which, in essence, is what they did. The more frantically they talked up "peer review" as the only legitimate basis for criticism, the more assiduously they turned the process into what James Lewis calls the Chicago machine politics of international science. The headline in the Wall Street Journal Europe is unimproveable: "How To Forge A Consensus." Pressuring publishers, firing editors, blacklisting scientists: That's "peer review," climate-style. The more their echo chamber shriveled, the more Mann and Jones insisted that they and only they represent the "peer-reviewed" "consensus." And gullible types like Ed Begley Jr. and Andrew Revkin of the New York Times fell for it hook, line and tree-ring.
The e-mails of "Andy" (as his CRU chums fondly know him) are especially pitiful. Confronted by serious questions from Stephen McIntyre, the dogged Ontario retiree whose "Climate Audit" Web site exposed the fraud of Dr. Mann's global-warming "hockey stick" graph, "Andy" writes to Dr. Mann to say not to worry, he's going to "cover" the story from a more oblique angle:
"I'm going to blog on this as it relates to the value of the peer review process and not on the merits of the mcintyre et al attacks.
"peer review, for all its imperfections, is where the herky-jerky process of knowledge building happens, would you agree?"
And, amazingly, Dr. Mann does!
"Re, your point at the end – you've taken the words out of my mouth."
And that's what Andrew Revkin did, week in, week out: He took the words out of Michael Mann's mouth and served them up to impressionable readers of the New York Times and opportunist politicians around the world champing at the bit to inaugurate a vast global regulatory body to confiscate trillions of dollars of your hard-earned wealth in the cause of "saving the planet" from an imaginary crisis concocted by a few dozen thuggish ideologues. If you fall for this after the revelations of the past week, you're as big a dupe as Begley or Revkin.
"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" wondered Juvenal: Who watches the watchmen? But the beauty of the climate-change tree-ring circus is that you never need to ask "Who peer-reviews the peer-reviewers?" Mann peer-reviewed Jones, and Jones peer-reviewed Mann, and anyone who questioned their theories got exiled to the unwarmed wastes of Siberia. The "consensus" warm-mongers could have declared it only counts as "peer-reviewed" if it's published in Peer-Reviewed Studies published by Mann & Jones Publishing Inc. (Peermate of the Month: Al Gore, reclining naked, draped in dead polar bear fur, on a melting ice floe), and Ed Begley Jr. and "Andy" Revkin would still have wandered out, glassy-eyed, into the streets droning "Peer-reviewed studies. Cannot question. Peer-reviewed studies. The science is settled ... ."
Looking forward to Copenhagen, Herman Van Rumpoy, the new president of the European Union and an eager proponent of the ecopalypse, says 2009 is "the first year of global governance." Global government, huh? I wonder where you go to vote them out of office. Hey, but don't worry, it'll all be "peer-reviewed."

For reals. (In Oregon for reals, not dysentery for reals. And FYI I made it to the Willamette Valley safely despite my illness. At the very last minute, though, we hit a rock and lost 7 oxen, 4 bullets, and my friend Ellaree.)

OMG! The Oregon Trail game! My husband is obsessed with it.
If you are looking for an anonymous tip for WV delights (and are somewhat near Salem): go to the Cafe 22 fruit stand (not the actual restaurant) and order a fresh fruit milk shake. Then lay yourself down and die. Because that is how f*cking delicious those milkshakes are.
5152 Salem-Dallas Hyw NY, Salem 97304 I totally forgot how awesome that game was. I wonder if it's possible to find it online or something.
Have fun on your trip!

The news of Pastor David Wilkerson's passing shocked me. I was immediately struck with sadness when I read the headline, "Pastor David Wilkerson Dies in Car Crash." While we know that his devotion to Jesus Christ and mankind has surely ushered him from this life into heavenly glory, I could sense the great loss that many felt due to losing a faithful servant of the gospel.
People, worldwide, posted status updates on Facebook that showed their admiration of Wilkerson and gave countless testimonies of how his ministry had played a role in their life. Numerous YouTube videos of some of his most popular messages, such as, "A Call to Anguish," "The Second Coming," "On Hell," among many others, were being uploaded to social networking sites.
It is said that after Wilkerson read a story in Life Magazine, in 1958, about a boy who was murdered by teenage gang members in New York City, he felt led by the Holy Spirit to go there and reach gang members with compassion and the gospel.
His faithfulness to his ministry led to many advances, such as "Teen Challenge" (an evangelical drug rehabilitation program) and "World Challenge" (an international ministry that helps addicts worldwide), as well as the launching and pastoring of Times Square Church in New York City.
Wilkerson's "The Cross and the Switchblade" became a best-seller, with over 50 million copies in over 30 languages, and is included in Christianity Today's "Top 50 Books That Have Shaped Evangelicals." Wilkerson also started "Please Pass the Bread," a global effort to feed starving children worldwide.
"Today, Please Pass the Bread is saving the lives of thousands of children, through 56 outreaches in eight countries," said Pastor Wilkerson's son, Gary Wilkerson, in an article he wrote for the World Challenge website, titled "Remembering David Wilkerson."
Through his life's work, Wilkerson has not only helped thousands upon thousands of people come clean from drug addiction, but he also lead them to Christ through the love he bestowed upon them.
Pastor Sonny Arguinzoni, a former drug addict and gang member, who was approached by Wilkerson in the height of his addiction, was offered the opportunity to go home with him so that Wilkerson could help him kick the habit. Not many people would offer a stranger the opportunity to stay in their home, let alone a drug-addicted gang member.
Through Victory Outreach, a worldwide ministry Arguinzoni later founded, my father, Jimmy Pinto, was witnessed to. Upon accepting Jesus into his heart, he was then placed into their drug rehabilitation program, where his life was totally transformed from once being a hardcore drug addict to helping others find freedom from sin and addiction in Christ.
My father then went on to run a drug rehabilitation program that helped many come off drugs, and later he became an evangelist that traveled throughout the United States, also offering hope and help to others.
Through his ministry, which was a constant reminder of what the Lord has done for us, my brother and I became born again Christians. Today, my brother, James Pinto, is also a pastor and is dedicated to proclaiming the gospel and has a heart of compassion for those bound to sin.
Can you see how the dedication of one man could impact so many others? The trickling effect from Wilkerson spread to another, which then reached another and another ...
Our family is just one story, but through Pastor Wilkerson's commitment to lead people to Christ, he has impacted so many lives and numerous families.
Wilkerson's ministry not only changed the life of gang members and those bound to addiction, but he touched the hearts of those who felt they had it all together and weren't in need of a savior. He proclaimed that the sacrifice Jesus made on Calvary wasn't only for the destitute and outcasts of society, but it was for everyone. With truth and boldness, he let others know that no one is exempt from sin; without Jesus, we are all damned to Hell.
Wilkerson also challenged Christians to continue in their faith, to remain in prayer and church attendance, to stay far away from sin and to keep their eyes focused on Jesus. Through his teachings, one can surely say that Wilkerson was not a man of compromise.
Having accepted the truth of the gospel with his whole heart, he also preached it with his whole heart, despite the fact that some may have ridiculed him for what seemed like strict discipline when it really was an awakening for the church, as a whole, to please God entirely.
On the morning of the fatal accident that claimed Wilkerson's life, he wrote in his blog, "Beloved, God has never failed to act but in goodness and love. When all means fail—His love prevails. Hold fast to your faith. Stand fast in His Word. There is no other hope in this world."
The last sentence reminded me of why Wilkerson originally went to New York City—to bring a message of hope that would help people and let them know that without Jesus there is no hope.
If you have not accepted Jesus Christ into your heart, may you come to know the power of His saving grace that tells you to "come as you are..." As Reverend Billy Graham once said, "Come as you are and be changed. Don't worry about changing yourself first; in fact, you can't change yourself. You are unable to save yourself."
That is why we need Jesus Christ as our Savior. When we accept Him into our hearts by confessing that He died for our sins and asking for forgiveness because we are in need of a Savior, it is God who begins to do the work. It is Him who changes us in areas we may or may not have realized we needed to be changed.
As we remember the life that Pastor Wilkerson lived, let us not forget to continue to spread the gospel and extend a hand to the hurting, to those in need of hope.

Monster Mash
Here's a poster for the Charm City Roller Girls. That's Baltimore, Maryland, for those of who unfamiliar with the nickname. Monster Prom was the subject given to me on this one, but coincidentally, I had already begun sketching out ideas for a "Universal Monsters" theme when I received this info. That's what I really like about working with Roller Derby Leagues--our shared appreciation for retro camp!
This was a definitely a fun assignment, but man, I've never had so much type to fit into a poster before. I kinda like the crowded type, though. It adds to the whole pulp flavor of the piece.

This hostel was the highlight of my trip to Sydney. It is literally in the middle of a national park with one of the best views I have ever had. The best night's sleep on my trip. The hostel is pretty small so you get to know the other people staying there. A lot of places to hike in the area, just watch out for the snakes. Wildlife is all around, there are wallabies everywhere. You have to stock up on food before you come or go fishing :). Definitely will return.

I stayed at Pittwater YHA for 3 nights and had great stay. Wouldn't have wanted to leave! The place was beautiful and definately worth the travel. The view from the hostel is amazing and you could see wallabies and all kinds of other animals all around. Good place to go relax and enjoy the nature. Doors don't lock but there is a security box if needed, I never felt that my stuff was unsafe though. The kitchen is very well equipped. I will definately stay here again next time I'm in Sydney!

Thank you, thank you to the genius who invented DVRs! It took me less than an hour to unpack, throw my dirties in the wash and watch last night's episode of Mad Men, arguably the best yet.
From the moment I realized the episode would revolve around Peggy and Don, I hoped and prayed the two wouldn't hook up. They did, of course, but not in the manner I feared. This was much so better than getting physical. And it left the door ("Open or closed?") wide open to a whole new dynamic between them. Thank God, it's a short week ahead.
What a welcome home present: The writing, the acting (Jon Hamm, especially), Don's squeeze of Peggy's hand at the end (I literally, audibly swooned), the juicy tidbit on old Blankenship...and the beat goes on for Roger in the one-liner department: "You know what gets you over something like that? Drinking."

- - Reining or cutting prospect?
Reining or cutting prospect? 5 Attachment(s) I bought this colt 2 months ago, and now he is 3 months today. He will be shipped from wisconsin in 1 month time and i will finally get to meet him. sooo excited. My trainer is going to start working with him and getting him ready for his first show. We are going to start him in Halter shows. I was wondering if anyone had experience in telling if a colt had potential in reining or cutting? how can you tell? Just wondering what you thought of this little colt. Again he is only 3 months old.:-) |
These pics were taken at 1 week old 3 Attachment(s) I thought i would show you what he looked like at 1 week old.:-) |
He is very cute and looks very breedy. Nice looking foal.. but they change a LOT between now and adulthood. Like him now for sure. What is his pedigree? |
He is double registered zippo pine bar, JOE Reed, POCCO, The Promoter, And the Invester. Their r a few other names but i can't remember them, i will have to look them up again. I think He is going to be pretty impressive when he is older...I bought him to show. :D |
its possible. hes definitely got the hindend going right! but it really depends on the horse. youll just have to wait and see what he likes and is good at when you start riding him. |
If he's got a lot of western pleasure names in his pedigree, he may be a little slow legged for reining or cutting. |

The personable, talented, and stylish group that joined Jess, Crystal, and I at Sunda this past Saturday night for a Chicago Bloggers Soirée were as fabulous and friendly as I imagined! They were just what you'd expect from a group of style-savvy bloggers.
You see, when Crystal and I met at the SFERRA event a few weeks ago, we discussed the need for a Chicago blogger meet-up like so many other cities have done (yes, I'm referring to you Boston, Houston, and DC). We sent an email to Jess Constable of Jess LC fame asking if she'd co-host, and a few weeks later and a resoundingly positive response to our invite, we met, we laughed, we drank, and I fell in love. Seriously. It was exactly how I always pictured it - instant friends and kindred spirits. Everyone bringing their unique talents and ideas to the round cocktail table, and I cannot wait for the sequel.
If you know of other bloggers nearby, I highly recommend meeting up. It's really a unique and fun experience. We're already planning June's soirée, and I cannot wait!
Here are a few photos from the evening!

Smile! You're on Candid Camera!
Love those shots!
I was excited to design the evite. Surprise, surprise: GREY!
And I cannot complete this post without mentioning the four-star, high-five, jaw-dropping-gorgeous, balls-to-the-wall, AMAZING venue: Sunda.
The downtown restaurant and lounge was designed by world-renowned Tony Chi. According to Sunda's website, the restaurant boasts "red travertine marble to French-polished black bamboo; Sunda showcases a clean, modern aesthetic while retaining a connection to its primary function - that of a gathering place for guests to enjoy great food and socialize in a pleasurable environment." And oh man the food... SO delish. Particularly this first dish pictured below, which we did order. If you go, remember these three words: Rock. Shrimp. Tempura.
Write that down. Seriously. You think I'm kidding, I'm not.
AND thanks to the very generous Billy Dec (founder and CEO of Rockit Ranch Productions), for helping us get last-minute reservations for a party of 10+ on a Saturday night AND for the complimentary desserts we received, like this scrumpdiddlyumptious concoction...
All in all, it was a wonderous success, and I cannot wait for June's blogger soirée!
