Already one of the hottest young properties around, Bale elevated himself to superstar status with a stunning second-half hat-trick to spare 10-man Spurs' blushes last night.
The 21-year-old's amazing exploits were not enough to prevent Tottenham going down 4-3 to the European champions but his goals - especially a stunning solo effort of which Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo would have been proud - meant he ended up stealing the show.
And manager Redknapp reckons Bale, along with fellow wide man Aaron Lennon, can run Inter ragged when the sides play the second instalment of their Group A double-header in 12 days' time.
"Every time we got it out to Gareth, he gave (Maicon) problems and I felt Aaron did the same on the other side," Redknapp said.
"That gives us something to work on when they come to White Hart Lane."
He added: "At White Hart Lane, we're a good team and it'll be a great atmosphere."
Redknapp's sentiments were echoed by Bale, who refused to take any pleasure from what was his first career hat-trick.
"Hopefully, at White Hart Lane, we can do a better job and get a victory," said the 21-year-old, whose second and third goals came in the 90th and 91st minutes respectively.
"The result is what matters and it's massively disappointing. We want to put that right next time."
Spurs rebuffed an approach for Bale before the transfer window closed but it would be no surprise to see an avalanche of mega-money bids for the Wales star in January, arguably more than are likely to materialise for Wayne Rooney.
Redknapp refused to discuss Bale's current value, saying: "There's no way that the club would or should contemplate ever selling him at the moment, certainly not in the near future.
"We should be looking to improve the team, not sell when we get an offer for one of our very, very best players."
He added: "If Tottenham sell Gareth Bale now, it would send out the wrong signals; it would be a club that would be a selling club.
"He's a player that we hope to build a team around."
Despite last night's defeat, Spurs remain on course to qualify for the knockout stage after FC Twente and Werder Bremen's 1-1 draw saw them hold onto second spot in Group A.
That is despite a calamitous first half that saw them four goals and a man down inside 35 minutes.
"Everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong in that first few minutes," Redknapp said.
"It was a disastrous start.
"At half-time, I said to the players, 'all we've got to play for is our pride and we have to make sure that we don't come off here being embarrassed by a crazy score'.
"Obviously, no rewards in terms of points but rewards in terms of a bit of pride."
Opposite number Rafael Benitez admitted getting progressively more angry with every Bale goal.
He said: "After the first goal, I was a little bit disappointed; after the second goal, I was even more disappointed; after the third goal, I was a little bit fed up."

I haven't been feeling the best lately, mostly allergies I think (probably to the cats..lol) but have been hibernating because of that and the nasty weather...so what have I been doing? Sleeping, reading, watching TV, playing games, reorganizing my closets and my computer and......SCRAPPING! O yes I have! LOL.
My niece, Amy, sent some photos from CHRISTmas of Annabeth and asked for some scrapped pages....so for 3 days now have been doing just that. I even did a couple pages for her sister-in-law, Kayla and her sister-in-law Margaret. (Kayla and Margaret had their baby boys just 24 hours apart. Those of you on Facebook have probably seen all these, but I want them on my blog to be published again at the end of the year! Here are some of the pages....hopefully I can remember which designers I used (didn't write them down as I was having too much fun), if I forget someone and it is yours, please let me know and I will give you credit. I so appreciate all the wonderful and generous designers that gift us with freebies, making scrapping so much easier and a lot more fun. Thanks to all of you! Here goes....
Annabeth in a frame from Neli at Lugar Encantado de Neli
I created the background using a freebie embossed overlay by PM, the alpha is called Sugar and Spice by Crazy 4 Monograms the side cluster is from Amanda's kit called Traditions and the bubbles are from Miriam's Scraps
Amy's in-laws holding her Annabeth and Kayla's Brinson in front of the tree, just had to use both shots as it looks like Annabeth is saying boo and the next shot Brinson is crying....I used the cluster frame freebie # 3 from Cocoa Cuties kit by Sweet Pea Designs.
Annabeth and Daddy CHRISTmas morning....Rudoph was peeking inside, the QP freebie is on of Neli's at Lugar Encantado de Neli
Nana & Grandpa with Annabeth, Brinson and big sister Blair in a Joyous QP by Random Thoughts at Linda's Place.
Try visiting some of these sites for awesome freebies. Okay, that's it for today's post...will post the rest in a day or so, right now, while there is a break in the rain, I need to go to the pet store for kitty food...they are getting restless that they will have nothing for in the morning if I don't go today....and besides I need to check my post office box, I haven't been out of this house since last Saturday. I also need to stop and check on Jan a minute or two as she has finished her radiation treatments, but has no voice now and we can't talk on the phone. Will chat more with y'all later. I have got to check on some missed items when I return...LOL! Love to all of you and remember to keep making all those lovely memories to share! Stay safe, warm and away from the flu! Hugs, Mat

Jewelry Resin and Michael's Craft Stores
I wanted to share some of the pieces I created using our new Jewelry Resin and bezels sold at Michael's Crafts Stores.
I am finally hearing from many of you that you are finding Jewelry Resin in your local stores! Yeah! It will be in every store...it is just taking time to get onto every shelf.
I was so excited when I saw the Bead Landing "Bezels, Frames and Filigree" collection in my local store.
They have so many components and finished jewelry pieces just waiting for you to pour resin into.
You might recognize one of these bezels. It features Lisa's Altered Art and appears on our Jewelry Resin packaging.
Small or large, I loved the range.
I think you get the idea.
I think I bought one of everything.
Here are my favorite cuff links.....perfect for a man or woman!
So if you are looking for unique bezels, check out a Michaels!
7 comments:
Wow, those are awesome! I checked my Michaels a few weeks ago and didn't find any bezels. What section of the store are you finding these? There's nothing where the EasyCast resin is.
PS. I got some resin molds in the mail yesterday! I'm so excited to try them out! Now I just need to wait for it to warm up a bit outside and I can get started!!!

There can now be no doubt that Andy Murray will win the Australian Open and, come Sunday, England – and, if they insist, Scotland – will be celebrating the first British winner of a male Grand Slam since Fred Perry was in short trousers.
Just as there can be no doubt that by then you glory-seekers will have finally jumped on this bandwagon. Don't mind us who will have to ride pillion with you Murray-come-latelys. We've only been hitching on this twilight train – as the great Neil Diamond once sang – all week.
Two-fifteen in the morning, 3.30am, 5.15am... no hour has been too ungodly for us Murraymaniacs. We have sacrificed our slumber and, purely on the evidence of the ramblings of this column, some might suggest our sanity as well to exorcise our country's 74-year curse. So far our deprivation has been worth it, although, in truth, on Saturday there was very little deprivation. Blame the schedulers for that.
Midnight? What sort of time is that to play a tennis match in Melbourne? There were normal humans still up, still flipping around for normal drivel to watch. In fact if it wasn't for Murray, a rerun of Friday Night with Jonathan Ross was due to be aired (which happens to be a must-view until June for every licence fee payer who wants to see him off the premises).
Still, there was the final part of the FA Cup highlights on ITV to entice in the stragglers and who could resist Bolton's epic 2-0 victory over Sheffield United? Probably only the Andy addicts among us.
The best thing about the Beeb's early-hour coverage has been the complete lack of baloney beforehand. There has been none of the Big Fight studio talk when Sky informs you to tune in at 11pm and the boxers then climb into the ring at approximately 5.47am. The Beeb hasn't even got a studio at Melbourne Park and for all we know Chris Bailey and John Lloyd might be stuck in the grandstand clutching a couple of Nokias.
There is certainly an old-fashioned feel to the start of the programme, which reminds you of the classic football matches they show on EPSN. No introduction, no yada, no numb-skulling obvious analysis – just straight into the warm-up, with a "Welcome to Melbourne Park for Britain's Andy Murray against American John Isner". Still, Bailey and Lloyd did provide all the build-up we needed with a few chilling words. "Isner is a monster, 6ft 9in, size 15 feet," said Bailey. "In the previous round, Isner served 28 aces," said Lloyd. "He hit one second serve that went over Gaël Monfils's head. Monfils is 6ft 3in."
Yes, we feared for our boy against the tennis version of Nikolai Valuev. Fortunately Murray is not the tennis equivalent of David Haye and did not run away from the giant, jabbing him with the odd drop shot, but instead went toe-to-toe, or in the case of Murray v Isner, toe-to-French stick. After sizing up Ol' Satchel Feet in the first set, Murray proceeded to pulverise the Goliath with armoury which made David's weapon look like the Acme catapult it was. "This was a world-class performance," said Bailey, as blessedly understated as he had been all night.
The smart-arsery was left to Jim Courier, the wacky former champion, who is conducting the wacky post-match interviews on court for the wacky Australian broadcaster. "What's the best movie you've watched recently?" asked Courier, very wackily. Time for bed. But it wasn't even 3am. It constituted an early night.

With just a few days to go until the start of the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, we are very excited about the prospect of the MTM Audi R8 BiTurbo and the Audi TT RS. If you thought the standard versions of these cars were good, then you wait until you see what the German tuning company has done with them. We are lost for words; all we can say is awesome.
According to the press release, which was sent to Autoblog, the R8 BiTurbo has lost all of its paint, and then been highly polished; a process that took more than 700 hours to do – now that's commitment. However, looking at the images of this thing we have to say that it was well worth the effort.
MTM were not happy with the already insanely fast R8, so thought that twin-turbochargers were needed. The coupe is now tuned to produce 777 horsepower, which is enough to propel the MTM Audi R8 to 217mph. This is not fast when you look at the Veyron, but at a fraction of the price it truly is an amazing achievement.
If you want something a little less in your face, then the Audi TT RS from MTM is another coupe to consider. This one still has all its paint and offers a 472hp engine. This car, which will be on show in just a few days will reach speeds of 195mph – would you have ever thought that an Audi TT would ever hit just under 200mph?

This section lists environment variables that are used directly or indirectly by MySQL. Most of these can also be found in other places in this manual.
Options on the command line take precedence over values specified in option files and environment variables, and values in option files take precedence over values in environment variables. In many cases, it is preferable to use an option file instead of environment variables to modify the behavior of MySQL. See Section 4.2.6, "Using Option Files".
Variable | Description |
CXX | The name of your C++ compiler (for running CMake). |
CC | The name of your C compiler (for running CMake). |
DBI_USER | The default user name for Perl DBI. |

LIBMYSQL_PLUGIN_DIR | Directory in which to look for client plugins. |
LIBMYSQL_PLUGINS | Client plugins to preload. |
MYSQL_DEBUG | Debug trace options when debugging. |
MYSQL_GROUP_SUFFIX | Option group suffix value (like specifying
--defaults-group-suffix ). |
MYSQL_HISTFILE | The path to the mysql history file. If this variable
is set, its value overrides the default for
$HOME/.mysql_history . |
MYSQL_HISTIGNORE | Patterns specifying statements not to log to
$HOME/.mysql_history . |
MYSQL_HOME | The path to the directory in which the server-specific
my.cnf file resides. |

UMASK | The user-file creation mode when creating files. See note following table. |
UMASK_DIR | The user-directory creation mode when creating directories. See note following table. |
USER | The default user name on Windows when connecting to mysqld. |
For information about the mysql history file, see Section 184.108.40.206, "mysql Logging".
is the path name of the
login path file (the file created by
mysql_config_editor). If not set, the default
value is %APPDATA%\MySQL\.mylogin.cnf
on Windows and $HOME/.mylogin.cnf
non-Windows systems. See Section 4.6.6, "mysql_config_editor — MySQL Configuration Utility".
The default UMASK
values are 0660
, respectively. MySQL assumes that the value
for UMASK
or UMASK_DIR
is in
octal if it starts with a zero. For example, setting
is equivalent to
because 0600 octal is 384 decimal.
The UMASK
and UMASK_DIR
variables, despite their names, are used as modes, not masks:
is set, mysqld uses($UMASK | 0600)
as the mode for file creation, so that newly created files have a mode in the range from 0600 to 0666 (all values octal).If
is set, mysqld uses($UMASK_DIR | 0700)
as the base mode for directory creation, which then is AND-ed with~(~$UMASK & 0666)
, so that newly created directories have a mode in the range from 0700 to 0777 (all values octal). The AND operation may remove read and write permissions from the directory mode, but not execute permissions.

He should settle for top 10-15 money, because that is where he is as a QB

Go for the extraordinary museums – 5 stories, 11 exhibits, and a kids museum, plus an awesome body animal exhibit until February, and find yourself blown away! On top of that, hit up the cafe for some absolutely fantastic food. Burgers, fries, and all the goodies to go along with it, everyone was in love with their meals. The only downside was that there were no drink refills. Bummer, but we got over it. The burgers were reasonably priced, too! At just $6 you would never know that the cafe is run by Wolfgang Puck and the meals are actually prepared by real chefs. But they are, and the taste says it all!
Looking for a unique place to dine? Check out The Grape restaurant on Greenville Ave. in Dallas. We were able to bring the entire crew for brunch and were happily surprised at their delicious banana nut muffins as they sat us!
We gathered around in their fairly laid back establishment in the back area, near where they keep their wine stashed. The staff was pleasant and was quick to get us started, which was great! We all ordered our drinks, water, orange juice, pineapple juice, grapefruit juice and a sprite. So far, so good! From there we ordered Fried Polenta Cheese Fritters, which were quite delicious! We all enjoyed them, but beware, they do have a little spice to them! (Which I loved!)
Melissa got herself the "Standard Breakfast," which as you might guess, was pretty standard with eggs, bacon, hash and toast! She thoroughly enjoyed everything on her plate.
Dizzy got the Biscuits and Gravy, which she enjoyed so much she barely spoke at all due to shoving the food into her mouth. Mmm, they must be good! (I will be trying it next time I go, I think!)
Ace got the "Classic Cheeseburger," which has been named the "Best Burger in Texas" by Tx Monthly. He enjoyed the burger, but, apparently did not agree with TX Monthly's assessment. Still, though, he enjoyed the meal. He LOVED the fries, though! He could barely stop eating them to eat the burger. Honestly, I kind of think his burger wasn't as good because he was eating his fries for so long that the burger probably started to get a little cold.
I got the steak and eggs, which in general, would be one of the last things I would order. In fact, it was like Ace and I reversed roles. I am normally the burger guy and he's the steak guy, but not today! I thoroughly enjoyed my entire meal. From the steak, to the eggs on top of my steak, the hash and the toast. I also got a side of bacon. I had to give it a try! It was all done exactly how I wanted and you could tell the food was fresh.
And, of course, Little man got the Blueberry Cornmeal Griddle Cakes. He said he liked it a lot, but knowing him and how he eats when he really LOVES something, I would say that he only liked them a little. But, still, he ate them, so who can complain?
The price was reasonable, and everything went pretty well. Also, they have free valet parking for patrons of The Grape Restaurant, which is important! Use it if you go! I didn't and ended up having to walk about four or five blocks just to get to the restaurant. Oops! Also recommended: Get a reservation. It is helpful.
Definitely check it out, it was one of our better outings in the last few months.

On most weeks the crew and I find ourselves trying out new places, but from time to time our schedules just don't line up and we can't make it happen. Don't worry though, that doesn't mean we have forgotten about this awesome blog, it just means that our lives went different directions this week! There are still so many places to explore and dine, we'll be posting on Tasting DFW for years to come. So, don't you worry about that!
We've got some great places that we are planning on hitting up soon, so check back often for new updates on all of your favorite places across DFW!

Prepare your taste buds for a delightfully good time. Bread Winners Cafe was a great place to go. The staff was pleasant and we had the choice to eat inside or out, and it is dog friendly too! We chose to sit outside and enjoy the cooler weather.
I ordered the banana bread french toast (big surprise, I got french toast!) and was glad I did. It was delicious at every bite, along with the bacon I got for a side. When I saw how good everyone's potatoes looked, I had to, of course, get myself a side of those too. It was all delicious!
Ace got himself the chicken fried steak and he actually ate it all happily this time. That's always a good sign! He left happy, which, after the last few places, was a nice change. Hah.Little Man got the eggs Benedict, and he ate the whole thing. Since he wants to be a chef, he has now begun to order adult options for food and no longer gets his meals from the kids menu. So far he seems to like the adult food a lot more anyway, so it might be a good change for sure!

The crew took me out for a birthday brunch and we decided on trying "Whiskey Cake." We knew that it would be a little different and the reviews for it were high, so we figured, why not, right? The staff was friendly, but a little slow at taking our order. Well, I guess I should be fair, they were fairly prompt at first, we told them we needed some more time and then it took them forever to return. Like, 20 minutes.
The menu was for brunch, which has a lot less options than their other menus, but they still had enough options for us each to get something different. Little Man actually got an adults portion meal this time around. He decided to get the chicken and waffles, which he loved. Not only did he say it was good, he ate all of it. Yes, he's 5 and ate an entire adult sized meal. Proof enough that he liked it? I'd say so! Along with his chicken and waffles, we got some appetizers to get us started. The devil's eggs and fried green tomatoes were both good. The eggs were a little tart, but I still enjoyed them.
Ace was once again annoyed with the waitress (this seems to becoming a trend!) He ordered the Chicken and Cheese, which was smothered in pesto, and unfortunately, Ace doesn't like pesto. Therefore, he didn't like his food. With that said, everyone else did!
Melissa got herself the Farmer's Breakfast. It included eggs and all the essential breakfast food. She ordered a sausage patty on the side, which ended up being the size of a pork chop; a little much for her liking. She said it tasted very porky. She also placed an order for some Parmesan fries. What's that, you wonder? Well, it's just fries with Parmesan cheese, of course! They were decent enough, though maybe not outstanding either.
Dizzy got the Jalapeno Vermont biscuits and gravy and a stack of pancakes with strawberries. She LOVED her biscuits. Said the pancakes were good, but were good like good pancakes, not anything special about them. I thought they looked good! In fact, they looked almost as good as my French Toast! Though they come normally with peaches on them apparently, I am not a very big fan of peaches, so I asked for them to have something else. The only thing the waitress mentioned was that she could probably get them with strawberries instead. So I said ok! They were really good too.
Atop the delicious french toast, smothered in some sweet cream and strawberries with just enough syrup, I got some Whiskey Cake. How can you not get something the place is named after!? I have never had whiskey cake before, so it was a new flavor for me. It was pretty good, but I still prefer chocolate.
All in all the style of the restaurant is very laid back, casual and fun. It is definitely unique, the food was different, and most of us liked our food enough to want to come back and check out the dinner menu! I would recommend this place if you haven't been and are looking for a new twist on some everyday food. The price wasn't too bad either!

The Securities and Exchange Commission Division of Trading and Markets has issued Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) that provide guidance regarding potential supervisory liability of compliance and legal personnel at broker-dealers under Sections 15(b)(4) and 15(b)(6) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act).
The FAQs clarify that compliance or legal personnel, including a chief compliance officer, are not deemed supervisors of broker-dealer employees for purposes of Sections 15(b)(4) and 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act solely by virtue of their compliance or legal position. The FAQs further clarify that compliance and legal personnel do not become supervisors solely because they (i) have provided advice or counsel concerning compliance or legal issues to business line personnel, or assisted in the remediation of an issue; (ii) participate in, provide advice to, or consult with a management or other committee; or (iii) provide advice to, or consult with, senior management. The FAQs provide that the determination of whether a particular person is a supervisor depends on the facts and circumstances of a particular case and whether that person has the requisite degree of responsibility, ability or authority to affect the conduct of the broker-dealer employee whose behavior is at issue. The FAQs provide guidance on factors to consider when making this determination, including, among other things, whether a person has been given or assumed clear supervisory authority (through the broker-dealer's policies and procedures or otherwise) and whether a person has the ability to hire, reward or punish the employee or otherwise has the authority to prevent the violation from continuing (e.g., firing or demoting the employee).

The Belgium defender has seen his proposed switch to White Hart Lane drag on over the summer but claims he could move clubs in time for Spurs' first training session on Monday
The 25-year-old has long been linked with a move to White Hart Lane but has seen discussions over his proposed switch drag on due to disputes between the two clubs regarding a transfer fee.
Vertonghen insisted that his relationship with the rest of the Ajax squad remains healthy, but reiterated his desire to take up a new challenge.
"The situation is not as I expected," Vertonghen conceded to AT5. "Of course I'm happy with the guys here and the feeling with Ajax is still good. But being here gives me double feelings.
14/1 | Tottenham are 14/1 to win the Europa League with PaddyPower |
Vertonghen re-joined Ajax to prepare for the new season on Monday, but Spurs do not start work under new manager Andre Villas-Boas until next week.
And the 25-year-old looked to push negotiations forward by claiming that he could join Tottenham in time for their first training session ahead of the new campaign.
Vertonghen, who had previously stated that he wanted to enjoy a full pre-season with his new club, added: "That's still possible. They [Tottenham] will have their first training session on Monday.
"I've had no contact yet with the new coach [Villas-Boas]. But with my head I'm still at Ajax. I'm the captain, I won't be a rebel."

Well hello there everyone ! Do I have any Spongebob Squarepants fans out there reading this ? Because if I do, I'm sure you'll all be pleasantly surprised ! I HAVE SPONGEBOB NAILS ! I've been watching Spongebob for such a long time now, I don't even know when exactly the love affair started, but Spongebob will never grow old for me !
Isn't that just the cutest thing ever ? I wasn't at all sure about how painting Spongebob was going to turn out, but luckily for me it turned out really well, and I'm really really really happy with the end result ! And as you have probably seen, I did Patrick Star as well, who I think turned out okay, but then again he doesn't have the most complicated of faces, just eyes and a mouth !
So the polishes I used for this design were, first of all for the flowers that represent the "sky" in Bikini Bottom, Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream, China Glaze Man Hunt and my Models Own Wah Nails nail art pen in yellow. Then for Patrick and Spongebob I used OPI Sparrow Me the Drama, Barry M Lemon Ice Cream, American Apparel T-Shirt, American Apparel Hassid, OPI Dim Sum Plum, OPI Don't Talk Back to Me and then my Models Own Wah Nails nail art pen in black (plus a little dot of Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream for Spongebob's eyes).
I'm especially pleased with the way the black outlining turned out in this design, I've never been fond of outlining my nail art designs as it usually turns out quite sloppy and shaky when I do it, but using the black nail art pen in this design really helped !
So for tomorrow I'm thinking of doing a FULL Spongebob mani, what you all reckon ? Loads of different Spongebob faces would just be the pinnacle of nail art for me ! Exciting stuff !
Have a great day everyone !

06 January 2009
Next up, a plague of locusts
This morning I got up and started doing dishes. I poured out yesterday's coffee and almost a whole bottle of wine (yes, I know that wrecks my credentials as a dyed-in-the-wool lush because a real drunk never wastes alcohol, but it just wasn't very good. Beaujolais-Villages).
The drain started running slowly...can you hear the shark music playing?
I walked into the bathroom and the former contents of the kitchen sink now occupied the bathroom sink. Coffee, wine, hot soapy water, bits of verdure, oat flakes...oh it was glorious. And stinky! Hot coffee wine soap water at 6:30 AM!
I had to leave to take the car to the shop because of the busted white trash car window. I asked the shop to finish ASAP because Goldie's ear was swelling up I had to get her to the vet, and they gladly agreed.
I got the shuttle home and called the vet.
Suebob: Can I have a late afternoon appointment?
Vet office girl: How about noon? Is noon ok?
Suebob: I was thinking of something late in the afternoon. Do you have anything later?
Vet office girl: One PM?
Suebob: Have you begun to reproduce yet? Because I will pay you to not contribute to the gene pool.
Ok, maybe I didn't say that exact last sentence. But.
We settled, after some several rounds of further negotiation, on 4:50 pm.
Then the auto shop called. Of course they did. And was the car done? No it was not.
They called to tell me that the thieves not only broke the $335 window (genuine Honda parts and labor), they also broke the little arm that attaches the window motor to the window.
The little arm is a part that the shop does not stock, but somewhere in a galaxy far, far away does and can FedEx it at an enormously large charge so I can have my car back sometime before the next Pleiades meteor showers. And it isn't going to be $335 any more but now it will be more like twice that. Haha.
"Can I at least have my car back until then?" I asked plaintively. I was plaintive by that point.
No, because the door was in pieces. Of course. So I had to rent a car to take my dog to the vet.
Please read that sentence again and absorb the full fun content. I had to rent a car to take my dog to the vet.
I mean, it could be worse. I could live under the Taliban. But it still seems to be adding insult to injury. Because my car got robbed and broken so some crackheads could steal a free gym bag and dirty socks, I had to rent a car to take my sick dog to the vet. That ain't right.
And when I asked the rental place for their oldest, dirtiest beater because I was going to be transporting a large, furry, drooly beast in their rental auto, they said "All we have is this really nice one with a black leather interior."
Oh, leather -- like the leather seats that Goldie punctured with her claws in the exMrStapler's car? Why, yes, leather seats just like that.
(I am not going to mention my work day other than to say: If people would just listen to me the first time, things would not go like they do. But no.)
So I lined the interior of the car with bathroom rugs and sheets and comforter covers and put t-shirts over the seats - basically anything I could find to keep Goldie from befouling the interior of the rental car - and took her to the vet, where she had her aural hematoma drained, the one that the vet had said on Saturday would probably drain itself. But no, it didn't.
Click thru and look how thick her ear is. Eeew.
$100.93 worth of drainage. So I'm down $850 for the day, more or less, and the plumbing is still backed up because I just can't deal with it today. Can not.
But dinner with your BFF will cure everything, right? And it almost did. CC and I talked and laughed over Vietnamese food for 2 hours, which was great -- until we came out and found her keys locked in her car in the dark and lonely parking lot.
No. No! Yes.
Triple A, phone call, half an hour. Done. We called the tow truck driver, Chris, "our hero" and gave him a hug and he blushed nicely.
So that was my day. My dog's ear is flat, my car is still broked, my dad is alive and well, and I...I am surviving. How are you?

If it helps.... you have made me feel much better about my day yesterday. I didn't travel home to SC to see my family as we decided to postpone it so we could all be together in February when I traveled to Charleston (MY HOMETOWN) to help manage a conference. Yesterday my boss tells me I won't be going since she's primary lead on the conference. But you're right, I could be living under the Taliban. Oh well.... I would have rented a car for the dog too :) She's a cutie and well worth it :)
- Chicky Chicky Baby said...
For some reason "Hot coffee wine soap water" seems like an excellent blog name to me. I don't know why.
Hope Goldie's doing well this morning and hope your day goes better because, Wow. - 6:25 AM
- g said...
Oh, Sueb0b! So sorry - although it sounds like you weathered it just fine. And Goldie did too.
Funny thing is I had a car-trouble and rental car day, too, on Monday. And I wrote a post about it. - 7:22 AM
- lizgwiz said...
I've had days like that. Not yet this year, though! *fingers crossed*
- Kizz said...
Oh for the love of all that is chocolate what a damned day! Makes you wish that crackheads read blogs.
I have always feared aural hematomas since Emily's ears are so BIG. Thank you for showing me that they aren't as gross as I thought they would be. Still gave me a little BLEARGH shiver but not as gross as I thought.
Here's to a better day! - 9:57 AM
- Issas Crazy World said...
I'm thinking you should buy a lottery ticket. Because eventually your luck will change. It has too, I'm pretty sure.
Hope today is better and less expensive. - 10:42 AM
- LittlePea said...
I would be goring on ice cream right about now if I had a day like yours. I hope Goldie's feeling better. If only these dogs knew what we do for them....
- super des said...
That's a hell of a day. I hope you have some Tanqueray handy :)
- Manic Organic said...
I will follow your blog based soley on the text "Have you begun to reproduce yet? Because I will pay you to not contribute to the gene pool." Hilarious. I wish my days were filled with mechanical troubles and plumbing failures. Seems like a dream next to association disorder and mid-life crises multiplied. I'll take the sink girlfriend, and the car. That I can deal with. My craziness is yours if you would like to barter.
- Major Bedhead said...
I think, after a day like that, I would have come home and drunk the hot coffee wine soap water, consequences be damned.
- meno said...
I believe this must be the universe's way of telling you to stay home, in bed, with the covers over your head.
- mar said...
i had a pretty bad day yesterday & kinda broke down (the impending new decade seems to have thrown me into an awful state of mind), but if that had happened i'm not sure i would have weathered it half so well.
and in the end, it makes a delightful blog post. - 6:15 PM
- Mamma said...
Seriously, the only way to deal with a day like that is exactly like you did.
And you made me snort too.
Job well done madame!! - 7:37 PM
- West Coast Grrlie Blather said...
Ouch. Car thingy plus plumbing thingy plus vet. A most unpleasant vortex.
- J at www.jellyjules.com said...
Crap. I'm out about $800 today just on vet bills. Sigh. Thankfully doggy is OK, so I'll count my blessings.
Regarding work, why, oh why, cannot my boss read my detailed, informational emails to him BEFORE calling me and asking me the things I wrote in the email? Grr. And yes, perhaps he's drunk. He sounded it last time. And we all work from our respective homes, so it's possible. - 9:40 PM
- ptooie said...
hmmm.... I like Beaujolais-Villages, so long as it's Jadot's version. But if it was the other one I tried then I understand perfectly pouring it out.
What a day full of crud. I hope the week improves for you. - 8:33 AM
- Mary said...
I don't understand. Could Todd not have helped out? And he looks like such a cute hubby too! Were the kids not completely grossed out by the ickiness? I can just see little Pandora now yelling "Mom! There's something wrong with the bathroom and I NEED to fix my hair! Make it stop!" I'm pretty sure you had to keep itty-bitty Ron from going in to investigate - how'd that work for you?
I kill me. really... Hoping the family is all well... - 11:01 AM
- claire said...
Just one of those things would have made me go back to bed. I could not have dealt with all of them in one day. I would be crying if i were you. - 11:24 AM
- Average Jane said...
Ouch. All I can say is I hope everything gets better now.
- Deb on the Rocks said...
Shit. That is the worst day ever. You must have been getting all of your Mondays for 2009 out of your system.
- Deodand said...
You'd better get the car window fixed ASAP because if the Pleiades or any other meteors are coming down, they are going to land right on your head. I think the Universe is out to get you.
- Caffeinatrix said...
When my children are being ingrates, I'm totally gonna say " You could be living under the Taliban!"
Thanks for the inspiration. Hope your run of shit luck is now over! - 10:28 PM
- one smarmy mama said...

Well, we broke the streak at four. However, it was tempered by the news that Kapler got hurt at the end of game 1 of this doubleheader. Gabe Kapler felt a twinge as he lunged for first base on the final out of an 8-2 seven-inning loss to Philadelphia. It's not yet known how much time he'll miss. Could be a week, could be 5. :( That could make our starting outfield on opening day Mateo / Porter / Curtis. Doesn't look like we'll be moving any outfielders now.
On the better news side, Rick Helling looked pretty decent. He went 6 innings, giving up two runs on two hits. Not all that bad. Hopefully this is the kind of performance we get out of him, not the one last time out. Crabby came on and pitched the last inning, not giving up anything.
On the other side, Bo Porter continued his case to make the team, which could be strengthened with the injury to Kapler, along with Ledee not being ready for opening day. Porter had two home runs, three RBIs in four at bats. There were 6 other hits scattered amongst the Ranger lineup. Offensively, we woke up during this game, this looks like what the Rangers of 2001 are supposed to be like.

Priority Health, with Crain's Detroit Business and MiBiz as media sponsors, seeks nominations for Michigan's Healthiest Employers awards.
The awards recognize best practices used by employers to create healthy workplaces across Michigan as determined by Indianapolis-based Healthiest Employers LLC, which has used its healthiest employers methodology in 40 cities across 25 states.
Companies enter by filling out a survey at crainsdetroit.com/nominate by Aug. 16. There is no fee.
Southeast Michigan winners will be announced Oct. 16 at a breakfast preceding the fourth annual Health Care Leadership Summit. A similar event will be held in West Michigan by MiBiz to recognize winning West Michigan companies in January.

A project created or opened in Project Navigator 11.2 (or any version of ISE 11.x) should be openable in any other ISE software 11.x version without needing to be migrated or converted.
However, if the device family used in the project is not available in the install version that you open the project with, the following dialog message appears:
Device not valid for this installation, do you want to open the project?
If all of the following circumstances are true, the .XISE file will become corrupted and will no longer be openable in any version of ISE:
If the circumstances listed above are all true and you select "No" so that the project will not be opened, the .xise file is overwritten with an empty one.
As a result, if you later try to open the project with any version of ISE software, the project will not be opened.
This issue has been fixed in ISE 11.2.
However, because ISE 11.1 has already been released, it is still possible to see the issue if you are working with both ISE 11.1 and a later version.

An odd assignment about superheroes living in an apartment building. Used the opportunity to work on some designs I already had going. :P
On the top is Haruki, an 11-year-old supervillain I've had for a few years. I'm trying to rework his design to make his powers more specific--replacing his ability to control "small things" is a small army of magical bugs. He's the Bug Prince. :) When he has his costume on I'm still going for an attitude akin to the Digimon Kaizer (squeal!!)
On the bottom is a character I just started trying to draw (although she's been present in Haruki's world since the beginning). Apparently the term for her is "octomom" or something like that--one of those ungodly large families with 20 kids who have all those reality TV shows recently. Those families are always white and composed of vapid, average children--thus, these ones have no faces at all.
The lady travels around with her children to megachurches across the nation, talking about the evils of birth control and caffeine. Oh, and whenever she needs a new kid but can't get pregnant for whatever reason, she invites a hapless neiborhood child over and brainwashes them with daytime television until their faces fall off.
I haven't come up with a look for her face yet. I'm thinking a mix between Ann Coulter and Jennifer Aniston.
I came up with all this during the week so she's quite subject to change. :\

Another character design assignment--skeletons! I decided to do skeletal designs of some of my characters . . . not an accurate skeleton per se, but one that reflects their personalities. On top, little Grendel and big Grendel. On the bottom, a random flapper girl, M'emo, Jekyll, Chance, and then Hyde.

Yeti and Monkeys
I tried doing designs on paper since those look cool when other people do it, but I really don't like how these turned out. D: So that explains the monkeys . . . I did more but those were HORRID, these are the only vaguely okay ones.
The yeti were from the previous week. It's one of those assignments where the options are so many that it's hard to really explore enough to come up with an original design. . . . I like the one at the bottom right.

ASUS has launched Eee PC 1015PEM for those who hate carrying heavy laptops with themselves. The lightweight ASUS Eee PC 1015PEM are light and boast of Atom N550 Dual Core processor which 'should' be good enough to speed up this baby laptop. ASUS boosts of battery life as long as 13 hours which can surely be very attractive selling point if it proves to be true.
The ASUS Eee PC 1015PEM comes with ergonomically designed chiclet keyboard and 10.1″LED backlit WSVGA screen (1024×600) which should be pretty helpful for those who use laptops for long.
Asus is geared up with its brand new budget netbook for European markets, which is actually an addition to its Eee PC series. Asus Eee PC 1001PX is soon expected to hit Italian markets. Although it looks quite similar to Asus Eee PC 1001P, you will find 1001PX a completely different package.
Asus is all set to roll out its multitouch netbook to its EEE PC family. Asus Eee PC T101MT is not yet available in the market, but Asus has been showing its pre-release versions. T101MT incorporates the multi touch technology with its powerful and incredible 10-inch touchscreen display.
We've covered the ASUS Eee PC T91 extensively in the past months since it was first showcased at the CES. Its now been revealed that the convertible netbook will be arriving us in the UK in late May or early June, with a MRSP of £449 ($675). For those who have been interested in the T91Go which is an upgraded version if you like, equipped with HSDPA, you will need to wait abit longer before this model will be available. Final specs of the T91 are yet to be confirmed, however, based on previous featured posts, we know approximately what to expect.
When you think of netbooks, a large majority of them are tiny laptops built based on a nasty block of plastic, with no elegance to it whatsoever. ASUS' new Eee PC 1002HAE (consider it an upgrade from the 1002HA) is abit different. The 1002HAE has an exterior aluminum skin which gives an added advantage of shedding half a pound of weight from 1.45kg to 1.2kg. While its main specs remain much the same – 1.6GHz N280 processor, 802.11b/g/n, 1GB of memory and 160GB disk, 1.3 megapixel webcam, memory card slot, 3.8-hour Li-Polymer battery, and 10-inch 1,024 x 600 pixel LED backlit display.
Hey folks, here's a quick gallery of the beautiful Asus Eee PC T91 or T91GO as they like to call it. Despite the pricing being recently revealed, we haven't actually been seeing much pictures of the T91 of late. So this gallery from the CeBIT should appeal to those who are interested in getting it when it does come out. The gallery below also shows you how the T91 smoothly 'transforms' into a tablet pc.
I know some of you have been in touch with us regarding the Asus Eee PC T91 tablet PC and when it will be priced. Thanks to our friend Ken who spotted that the T91's pricing was unveiled this week. The price tag has been set to £360 ($524) in US and £420 ($610) in the UK. Just to recap on the specifications on the T91, it will sport a 8.9-inch full touchscreen LED backlight LCD, powered by Intel Atom Z520 1.33GHz processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, 32GB SSD and Windows XP Home Edition. In addition to the above, the T91 will have a range of connectivity functionality including built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Gigabit Ethernet, Webcam, 3G and GPS.

Even though we're well into March, and allergy season is right around the corner (or already at the door), Ruth Carrico, assistant professor, school of public health and information sciences, University of Louisville, says the flu vaccine is still recommended for everyone.
"People say, 'Why would I want to be immunized if the flu season is over?'" says Carrico. "But the flu is very clever and unpredictable, so the focus should be on prevention. If we have a preventative process, why don't we take it?"Carrico, who organized a drive-thru flu vaccination event at the University that drew 20,000 people in November, says prevention is key, especially since the flu vaccine has presented lower complications than usual.
In terms of timing, she says the earlier the better. "You should get the flu vaccine as soon as it becomes available, because it will work all through the flu season."
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), getting the vaccine before December is ideal, because it ensures protective antibodies are in place before flu activity peaks. However, the CDC also continues to recommend people get vaccinated throughout the flu season, which can begin as early as October, and last as late as May.
H1N1 will be part of the flu vaccine for the coming year, which will be available in August or September, Carrico says.
Each year, scientists try to predict which strains of flu viruses will be circulating that year, and then put them into the vaccine, according to the CDC, and studies have shown in years when the vaccine is well-matched to the year's strains, the vaccine can reduce the chances of getting the flu by 70 percent to 90 percent in healthy adults.
The bottom line, says Carrico, is that we need to take preventive opportunities when we can.
"Some flu vaccines are a good match, and sometimes the flu throws us a curveball."

I highly recommend to get some inexpensive, fun toys you're okay with them playing with on the drive...then wrap them all. When they start to get restless, hand them a toy to unwrap & tell them they're doing so great on your long car ride that they get a present. Ideas are: bubbles, any travel game, poppers that you'll let them throw when you stop for a break, candy, art stuff, even a roll of aluminum foil-you can make crowns, watches, super hero stuff...pack good snacks and maybe a portable potty...
what about books and crayons and color books? Also, stickers and activity books. Stop occasionally to let them get out and stretch their legs, snacks - lots of fruit and easy to eat stuff. Plenty of water and some juices. Use stickers and the snacks / juices as bribes. Usually don't believe in that but for a drive that long, it does work (we've been to NYC from Austin, TX three times now and our youngest just turned 3). Good luck!
I agree with what's been said, we made workbooks for our oldest two when we drove last summer, stuff about the states we were in (for the little one it was mostly coloring stuff-she was almsot 3), count certain objects out the windows, coloring, maze, puzzle books, videos they've never seen plus some of their favorites, plain paper to draw on, a box of new tiny toys from dollar tree, lots of snacks.
I hate to say it, but I would hate to be in your kids position...I hate to drive that far, I can't imagine trying to make my toddlers/preschoolers do it. It was hard enough doing 8 hours of drive time one day and 4 the next on our 12 hour drive to Disney, and they at least knew there was something worth the drive at the end.

But gosh, it's sooo sharp looking... Let me come back to that point about standing up by itself: It can't. At first, when I saw that this kit came with a display stand to hold it up, I was greatly dissapointed, as I really was looking forward to building it. But then I started thinking about all the other Gundam kits of mine that have fallen over and broken or lost parts when I had them posed someplace, and I began to think that maybe a display stand isn't such a bad idea after all...
Of course the kit can transform into the long-range "G-Cruiser" mode, similar to the Zeta Gundam, and the display stand itself also converts into a mode specifically designed for displaying the kit when it's in ship mode. A whopping 31 runners of parts in all! Get ready for hours of cuttin' 'n' snappin' with this baby!

Well it's Day One of Armchair BEA and I got my first post in just under the wire! Check out my answers :)
Please tell us a little bit about yourself: Who are you? How
long have you been blogging? Why did you get into blogging?
Hey guys! Remember me?? It's La Toya...I started a blog back in 2010 called LazyGirlReads and changed the name to LaToya, Literally back in Jan 2011. I think since then it's been a little spotty (with all my opera singing and general poor time management heeh!) but I'm *hopefully* back now!
Where in the world are you blogging from? Tell a random fact
or something special about your current location. Feel free to share
What are you currently reading, or what is your favorite
book you have read so far in 2013?
Currently reading a couple: Dork Diaries 1 by Rachel Renee Russell and Messenger by Lois Lowry. Best book I've read this year happens to be Son by Lois Lowry.
Tell us one non-book-related thing that everyone reading
your blog may not know about you.

would it be and why?
