Why I HATE, HATE, HATE Grasshoppers
|photo by Pawel Kabanski/Flickr
Welcome to my nightmare! I really, really have a thing about grasshoppers. If they're the itty-bitty type, I will squish them in a heartbeat. The giant ones send me flying into the house and then begging Mr. MoonCat to go out to extinguish them. The sad, sad thing is that I can tell you exactly when this trauma-induced phobia started. Please shelter the children from this story of horror….
It was a warm summer day when my mom, my sister and I were driving up into the foothills to visit my Gramma. The fields were all golden brown with the breeze causing ripples that looked like waves int the dried grass. We had the windows down, the sunroof open and were enjoying the trip…until..a GARGANTUAN grasshopper decided to terrorize me and end my "live and let live" lifestyle forever.

This mutant terrorist (easily over three inches long) was on his assignment to GET JULES when he bounced off of my arm and landed inside the car. He was on the headrest behind me and managed to get tangled in my hair. I was screeching for some help, but my horrible, unfeeling mother and sister were laughing too hard to assist me. The foul creature then decided to travel down the back of my tank top, scratching me all the way! (If you look closely at the photos of the horrible creatures above and below, you will see their hooks, claws, and spurs…) Anyway, his mission was obviously a one-way trip as he made the fatal mistake of continuing his path south and ended up IN MY UNDERWEAR! (So you don't think I was riding around in just a tank top and undies, my Wranglers tend to gap at the small of my back and my undies follow suit sometimes.)

Once we got to Gramma's house, she was the only one who showed me any sympathy. That is until Mom looked at my back. I had vivid scratches all over my back with a couple of them even a bit bloody. I think she felt a bit bad after that, my sister didn't.
So, now you know the cause of one of my most irrational fears. This is also why Mom didn't say a word this morning when we were at the kitchen table and I suddenly went screeching at top speed outside with my basket of herbs. Something similar to the photo below was sitting on top of my catnip, LOOKING AT ME.

Meanwhile, Back on the Farm
It seems like I've missed several of my regular "What I See Wednesday" posts lately so I'll catch up a bit today with some pictures of what we've been up to around MoonCat Farms.

TLC Book Tours: The Love Ceiling Book Review and GIVEAWAY
I think so many women will end up doing as I did and reading this book in one day. I became so enamoured of Annie and her story that I only surfaced for drink and restroom breaks and went back to catch up with her immediately. If I were to have to find something negative or possibly less-than-glowing, it would be that I was left wanting more. Of course this would actually seem a positive to me as it shows that the author has woven a fine story that you want to continue being a part of.
There is a reader's guide at the end of the book that I think would be great for book clubs. A lot of different discussions could be sparked by various points in this book. The author has been involved in chats with book clubs across the country and can be contacted via her website.
Jean Davies Okimoto has graciously offered a copy of The Love Ceiling to one lucky MoonCat Farms reader. I will announce the winner on June 30th. Please leave a comment letting us all know what the last book is that you read. PLEASE BE SURE TO LEAVE A WAY FOR ME TO CONTACT YOU. You can gain extra entries by blogging about, tweeting, and/or posting about this review and drawing on Facebook. Just be sure to let me know what you've done to get the extra entries! If you don't want to wait for the drawing, The Love Ceiling can be purchased on-line. It would make a thoughtful gift for the women in your life.
Light Me Up in the garden
Mr. MoonCat and I really enjoy being outside, especially in the evening. Our wedding was held in the great outdoors and the photo below shows a couple of the hanging lanterns we used:
These hung from shepherd's hooks, trees and fence posts. We really enjoyed them, but they're not practical for everyday use. It was really pretty, but fire was a concern due to the candles in the jars. Plus, once the temperatures go up – the candles go down and melt away with the heat. The paper lanterns were lit with led lights and tiny batteries. They were cute, but time consuming and a bit pricey to put together considering how fragile they can be.
We loved this basic look so we're searching around for similar alternatives for our garden. The exterior of our house has very very minimal, basic lighting. We want something with a little ambiance and charm (and let's face it – more light to keep ME from falling on my face.) This search brought me to CSN Lighting which is one of the over 200 shops in the CSN Stores family. You might remember them from the review I did on the EarthBox Garden Kit earlier this month.
So here are just a couple of the candidates I found on their site:
I like the idea that all of them are listed in the Eco-friendly category too. So what do you think?
Saturday Sweetness – Strawberry Soup
|photo by Krassy/Flickr
I know, you're going into shock – I've gone from posting sporadically to TWO in ONE day! What is the world coming to. Well, there's a story here. After getting my Anjan review on the way to blogworld, I decided to clean out my files. I found my long-lost recipe for this luscious, yummy dish – Strawberry Soup. I haven't made it in a loooooong time because after trying and experimenting on several different variations of this wonderful treat before hitting on THE ONE, I misplaced/filed it away for safe-keeping 🙂 None of the others I've come across really did it for me so I've pined until today for this little gem. (I'm practicing being dramatic.)
Anyhoo, since Father's Day is tomorrow and it IS strawberry season, I thought you might want a little extra something special to prepare for Dad or hubby or yourself/ME. This is a dish best prepared the day before serving so without further ado….the not-so-secret recipe:
Strawberry Soup
5 1/2 cups ripe strawberries
2 cups water
1 cup sugar
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup Port wine
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp cardamom
Strawberries and/or mint for garnishing
(dollop of sour cream for garnish if desired as well)
Puree strawberries, sour cream, and sugar together. Mix wine and water in a saucepan, add pureed mixture. Heat on low and allow to simmer for 1 or 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add the cardamom and vanilla. It's not crucial, but it is best if you allow it to chill overnight so all of the flavors can mingle and set. When ready to serve, pour into individual bowls and garnish with the extra strawberries, mint, and/or a dollop of sour cream. Yummy.
So I hope you all enjoy Father's Day with your loved ones and let me know what you think if you get a chance to try this recipe.

Anjan – A Book Review and Giveaway
Herbs – E is for Elecampane
Many centuries ago, Roman scholar Pliny wrote of the benefits and uses of the herb elecampane. To this day, it is still being used in many of these same applications as well as in new formulations.
Latin Name: Inula helinium of the family asteraceae
Alternate Name(s): horseheal, elfdock, scabwort, elfwort, wild sunflower
Description: Elecampane is a hardy perennial with tall softly hairy stems that can grow up to 6ft tall. Pointed leaves with toothed edges showcase yellow flowers that are similar to shaggy daisies or some varieties of sunflowers.
Habitat: Likes damp, moist soil in a sunny location. Propagate by division of roots in spring or autumn or by seed which is much slower to germinate than many of the other herb seeds. pH levels are acceptable from almost 6 down to 4.5
Growing: It usually blooms in late summer and is fairly easy to grow, even for the novice herb gardener.
Harvesting: Elecampane roots can be harvested after the 2nd year of growth, while the aerial parts can be used immediately after the first blooming. As with most harvests, it is best to do it early in the morning after the dew has dried and before the heat sets it. This will ensure more of the oils will still be up in the aerial parts of the plants.
Uses: The roots and flowers are both used (both fresh & dried) and are usually combined with other herbs. Many of the old herbals showed various uses as cough syrups and remedies as well as tonics. The roots were often candied like ginger root and used as a digestive aid by ancient Greeks and Romans after their meals.
In my researching of this plant I have come across many, many listed uses for elecampane. As with all of my articles and posts about herbs – I am not suggesting or promoting their use for anything. I am simply sharing what I have been told or have found during my studies. Always talk to your doctor or do your own research before trying something new. Even things found in nature in their natural state can be deadly. Now, back to my findings: Elecampane has supposedly been used as a natural sweetener for diabetics (interesting to find out how it compares to Stevia). It seems to have many uses for respiratory distresses such as infections, coughs, asthma, bronchitis, etc.
One of my favorite tidbits was that early veterinarians used this herb in both horses and sheep very effectively. It has also shown to be useful for kennel cough in cats and dogs as well as having fungicidal and sedative qualities. I found it on several lists of herbs for expelling worms too. Very interesting little herb!
Elecampane Tea
1 oz elecampane root
1 pt water
Simmer the root and water together for about 20 minutes. Let cool before drinking. This tea is said to be a great remedy for coughs and other minor respiratory ailments as well as having sedative properties.
Notes: People with allergies or sensitivities to plants in the sunflower (asteraceae) family have been shown to also have problems with this plant and should avoid its use.

Summertime and the Living is BUSY
Sorry about being pretty quiet for a whole week! I'm back to spurt-blogging (that sounds almost nasty, but it is pretty appropriate.) It seems like we are outside most of the time now and I have tons to do before I can take the time to sit in front of the computer. So I'll give you an all-around update on life at MoonCat Farms where, as the picture below shows – all is well:
|The MoonCats doing what cats do best
Mom is doing pretty well. She has gained some strength and has decided to take up scrap booking. She's making lists (and lists and lists) of supplies she wants from the crafts store. My niece and nephew were here on Friday and they all three had their heads together plotting their next few projects. We're really looking forward to them being around a lot this summer while they're out of school. They're great kids and a lot of fun to have around. Mr. MoonCat and I took advantage of them being here with Mom and ran off to do some shopping together and take in a show (Prince of Persia – cute movie and even cuter Jake Gyllenhaal.)
I am way behind on my crafting, my photography, my letter writing, my blog visiting, my bookkeeping, and pretty much everything that isn't related to the garden. But we've been eating some yummy squash, peas and onions the last few days. Of course dinner hasn't been until 8pm or after 🙁
I have a book review coming up that you'll not want to miss. I was thrilled to be asked to participate in a TLC Book Tour for Jean Davies Okimoto's The Love Ceiling. My stop on the tour is scheduled for June 23rd when I will post my review and GIVEAWAY ALERT: the lovely, lovely author has generously provided a copy of this fabulous book for one lucky MoonCat Farms reader! It was one of those books that I couldn't put down so I'm tickled that one of you will get to enjoy a copy for yourself. Be ready to get your entry in!
Speaking of upcoming giveaways…For my 200th post in the next week or so, I will run that contest I mentioned to officially name Wedgie. Keep your eyes open and you could win a special prize! (I really do enjoy giveaways – especially ones that involve wearing thinking caps..) Lemon Verbena Lady has already put her hat in the ring with the very creative "Phantom" which could be very interesting when combined with the parents' registered names…..More info coming soon.
Here's a gratuitous photo of Wedgie who is becoming quite the little ham – notice the swishing little broom tail:
|Is this my good side?
Mr. MoonCat got to spend some quality time with his folks last weekend as they were visiting in the area. We'll all get to see them sometime later this week and return the pan that his mom brought filled with delicious lasagna. YUM. I'm not a big fan of regular over-tomatoed lasagna, but his mom's is the bomb. We always look forward to it and it never lasts long! Mom really enjoys it too which is great since her appetite is still more off than on.
The mad scientist, aka Cindy my sister-in-law, is coming up for a day of soap and paper making. We've both been gathering supplies like crazy so we'll have many hours of crafting and creating. We're really looking forward to it and then to going out for sushi that evening with our hubbies.
So that's pretty much it in a nutshell. Tomorrow I am getting back in the groove with one of my A-Z Herbs posts: E is for Elecampane. I may just get to the middle of the alphabet by the end of the year 🙂

If yes, then it's the mutex deadlock problem I mentioned a few months ago, which occurs with all user space threading environments (e.g. FreeBSD uthreads) because Apache 2.0 still uses flock/fcntl for the inter-process accept mutex which usually does work only in kernel space threading environments (e.g. LinuxThreads). If no, then its some new problem. Ralf S. Engelschall email@example.com www.engelschall.com

The channels file format has changed too, due to the change in the channels tag in the XMLTV DTD.

Optionally you can have a "valid" attribute in the channel tag, and you can have a score tag as a child of the channel tag.

Talented innovators from the fields of architecture, digital media, fashion, furniture, graphic design, product design and transport have been celebrated by the Design Museum's in its list of Design of the Year 2014 nominatees.
From Dumb Ways to Die, the app which teaches players rail safety by seeing them try to save cute characters from violent deaths, to a floating school in a Nigerian lagoon, contenders take vastly different approaches to design but are united in their attempts to fearlessly and imaginatively improve people's lives.
Names shortlisted by the London based museum include: architects Zaha Hadid and David Chipperfield, and fashion designer Miuccia Prada.
In pictures: Top designs of the year

Designed by McCann Melbourne: A song, a book, a smartphone game, interactive outdoor posters, radio advertising and tumblr GIFs – all designed to get young people to care about safety.

8/21 The Hinterland of Ronaldo Fraga
Designed by Ronaldo Fraga: The signature of the caatinga, the natural scuffing of the cattle that the market considers a defect, becomes a sign of sophistication in this collection from the Brazilian designer
9/21 Tracey Neuls Bike Geek
Designed by Tracey Neuls: Bike Geekis a hybrid of a dress shoe and a casual shoe with the performance of sportswear. It is designed to be simple, easy and suitable for all occasions.

Timber slats, positioned in the right rhythm and proportions create benches, a table, a library. A Simple chair, exhibiting modest geometry and simple boxes, bookends and a lamp are composed of a readily available and humble material such as MDF
12/21 Iro
Jo Nagasaka for Established and Sons: Named after the Japanese word for colour, Iro is a family of vibrant yet elegant furniture which remains true to Nagasaka's minimalistic style, whilst making bold use of brightly coloured resin. The smooth finishing highlights the natural grain of the wood enclosed within the resin
13/21 Chineasy
Created by ShaoLan Hsueh with Illustrations by Noma Bar: Chineasy is an illustrated Chinese language methodology created by entrepreneur and author ShaoLan Hsueh. Chineasy's aim is to bridge the gap between the East and the West.

These illustrated and animated characters aim to provide both a memorable interpretation of Chinese and also a glimpse into the culture behind the language
14/21 The Gourmand - A Food and Culture Journal
Created by David Lane (Creative Director), Marina Tweed & David Lane (Founders/Editors-in-chief): The Gourmand is a food, arts and culture journal, printed bi-annually.

All of the content is specially commissioned with submissions from well respected writers, photographers and illustrators as well as up and coming talent
15/21 Grand Central
Designed by ECAL/Thibault Brevet: Realised as diploma project in Bachelor Graphic Design at ECAL/University of Art & Design Lausanne, Grand-Central is an open internet platform that lets people express themselves freely through a tangible output device.

16/21 Clever Caps
Designed by Claudio Patrick Vollers (Co-inventor & Designer) and Henry Suzuki (Co-inventor): Clever Caps are bottle caps which also work as building blocks. They can be collected and used on their own, but are also compatible with the world's most popular building blocks. In this first commercial version, they were designed to fit PCO 1881 standard bottle necks, and include a tamper evident safety seal
17/21 Silk Pavilion
Designed by Mediated Matter Group at the MIT Media Lab: The Silk Pavilion explores the relationship between digital and biological fabrication on both product and architectural scales. The primary structure was created of 26 polygonal panels made of silk threads laid down by a CNC machine. 6,500 silkworms were then released on to the structure where they worked as biological 'printers' spinning as they moved across the panels
18/21 ABC Syringe: A Behaviour Changing Syringe
Designed by Dr David Swann: The ABC Syringe is a frugal innovation to combat the prolific use of non-sterile syringes. The syringe remains colourless when stored inside a sterile pack. However exposure to air triggers a controlled colour change that transforms the syringe barrel from colourless to red within a few minutes. This visual transformation alerts and empowers both literate and illiterate patients to make better risk decisions, and provokes doctors into clinical compliance
19/21 ME.WE: Forward-Thinking Car
Designed by Massaud & Toyota ED2: ME.WE's philosophy combines flexible geometry, a customizable look and environmental responsibility. It features an aluminium tubular structure, expanded polypropylene panels, electric power wheels, and a bamboo interior
20/21 Single Seat Aircraft
Designed by e-Go: e-Go aeroplanes has created this striking new single seat aircraft, which costs dramatically less to fly than traditional aircraft. It uses novel technologies to boost performance, and achieves a low cost of development and operation by exploiting the newly deregulated environment in the UK. Very lightweight but strong construction is achieved using ultra-thin carbon fibre and foam – the empty aircraft weights just 115kg
21/21 IFmove Bicycle
Designed by Section Zero: Pacific Inc's 9-speed, 11.5kg IFmove unfolds in seconds and combines striking looks with rigid aluminium construction. It can also be rolled along on its 20" light weight wheels whilst folded
Nominated designs will be exhibited at the Design Museum from 26 March until 25 August 2014, with the winners announced later in the year.
"The gaming app that outlives its player, the mobile phone you can build yourself, the bottle caps that turn into building blocks – someday the other museums will be showing this stuff," the museum said in a statement.Reuse content

Cozy Apartment with Vintage Designs
Monday, November 9
Combination of various wood tones and shades of gray creates an interesting atmosphere in this apartment. I love the large String shelf setup here along with all the mid century modern furniture and decor.

That's my all-time favorites - white, gray and wood. Plus vintage items.
I would add some coziness of knitted products as buubok's if I could live in this apartment.
Thanks for inspiring.

The day that began with salvation & incredible expectations that Christ will be with us again is the "Good Friday 2017". It is also known as, "Holly Friday" the Friday preceeding . This day traditionally celebrated as the day when Jesus (Jesus Christ Images) was crucified. Numerous Christian places of worship observe Good Friday Quotes with a stifled administration, generally in the evening, in which Christ's demise is recalled with solemn hymns and thanksgiving prayers. It is trailed by Easter, the wonderful festival of the day Jesus that was raised from the dead, proclaiming his triumph over sin and demise and indicating ahead a future restoration for all who are united to him by confidence & faith. The belief over this day is that Christ comprehends our most profound feelings of dread & problems. Christ has preserved through all man's suffering & restores the humanity by paying with his own blood. Happy Good Friday Images is announced as an occasion in regions or places where Christians have a wide presence. Good Friday Images, the day people remember and respect Christ's passing and sufferings and go to the services that is calm and solemn.

Disclaimer: I do not own Glee or any of its characters; Ryan Murphy and Co. hold that honor. I'm simply writing this for fun, not profit.
To always pick up your phone call.
The record-breaking low three percent turnout at the polls hadn't dampened his mood. He had been elated in the moment when Sue Sylvester, almost gagging with repulsion, had announced his name over the intercom. Everyone in his history class had breathed a collective sigh of relief before resuming ignoring Mrs. Keanes spirited attempts to keep their attention. In spite of the sudden, doubtless adrenaline-inspired urge to thrust the desk out of his path, he remained seated and even collected for the remainder of the lecture, only giving one quick fist-pump when the aging teacher turned her back on them.
The moment he burst into the hallway, it was different. He couldn't contain himself, grinning ear-to-ear as he made his way to his locker, avoiding gazes as he passed. Half of him wanted to greet everyone and shake their hands and thank them so much for giving this to him, this tangible reminder that he meant something to and at McKinley. He could already hear the sneers and disgusted scoffs that would be his only answer and so he refrained, sedately walking down the halls as though nothing were amiss. And nothing was. If ever there had been a time when he felt like clicking his heels together for the sheer joy of doing, then it would have been then.
Of course, all the breathless, barely contained enthusiasm burst out of him the moment when Sam all but tackled him against his locker, pounding his back and ruffling his gelled hair. Blaine saw him surreptitiously scrubbing the same hand for five minutes afterward (and god, if it hadn't taken him twenty minutes in the locker room to repair the rather extensive damage), but he still beamed and smiled and rattled off about a dozen inane possibilities for celebrating.
Blaine agreed to all of them twice over, clapping Sam on the back as he scurried off to his next class, his satchel slung crazily over his shoulder. He saw several of the hockey jocks snickering as he tripped over his own feet, narrowly avoiding barreling into the doorway to his English class. The hour and forty four minutes spent itching at his pencil and tapping his feet silently against the floorboard were almost mind-numbingly tedious, but he survived and before he knew it, he was hopping into the front seat of his red Jeep, jamming the keys in the ignition and peeling out of the parking lot.
He wasn't a reckless driver, but he still made record time to the Breadstix where, of course, Sugar opened a bottle of champagne in his face, apologizing sixty-seven times in the next four minutes for almost blinding him again before kissing his cheek and tossing him a pink towel. It all passed in a blur as he was passed off from random stranger to the next, each one less and less interested but still eagerly sampling the free refreshments Sugar had provided (apparently the only condition to gain entrance had been voting in the election).
Blaine beamed and smiled and shook hands and even hugged a few of them, his smile fading when he saw Artie sitting in the center of an aisle. Slowly, keeping his pace measured and his breathing calm, he approached the boy, offering a congratulatory smile and receiving a warm hand-shake in return. He couldn't help but think back to mere days before when they had been jamming out together in the choir room, practicing their moves over and over to try and help pull Brittany out of their funk. (And sweet merciful everything if it hadn't hurt when Artie ran over his big toe for the fifth time in as many minutes, still gamely offering to quit while Blaine insisted on continuing after a breather to survey the damage (after the seventh run-over six minutes later, they'd called it a day)).
They smiled and talked and even bantered a little, and Blaine was convinced that everything was going fine, really fine for once and he was well-adjusted and well-adapted and everything was in place like it should be when -
"So, how's Kurt taking all this?"
It was like the bottom dropped out of Blaine's world. He didn't faint, although it was a near thing as the familiar ringing started up in his ears. It reminded him of the time when four years ago a senior, illegally drunk on school property, had clocked him hard enough in the head to give him a concussion. He'd never forget that thick, underwater feeling, suffocating and abrasive, like someone was attempting to pull reality out from under him. Of course, he kept the false smile in place and managed to stay standing in front of Artie, determined not to succumb to the sensation.
"He's already got an inaugural ceremony all planned out," he fumbled, barely aware that he was speaking.
Artie nodded, offering a fist-bump as Sugar called him over. Blaine lifted his hand and weakly bumped it back, pulling out his phone the second Artie was gone.
He could feel eyes, dozens of eyes, boring over him, past him, through him. Ignoring them and the unspoken words, he unlocked his phone and, willing his fingers to remain steady and dammit, now was not the time to have numb fingers, he punched out the number, area code and all.
It seemed strange, having to include that - those three silly little numbers that had tripped him up more than once. They were haunting, a reminder that even on the most basic levels Kurt had changed, the simplest things altered. It was silly but he had still spent three hours that first night almost ready to throw his phone out the window from sheer frustration until Cooper texted him and the unfamiliar area code jostled his memory, reminding him that of course he had to put that in now that Kurt was in New York and he was in Ohio and things like that weren't on the same wavelength.
Tapping his foot anxiously as he waited, glad that the buzz of conversation muffled the noise, he paced towards the opposite wall, holding the phone close to his ear.
If he closed his eyes, then he could see him, see Kurt lounging in his dingy little loft that he lovingly referred to as his nest in New York. He loved that apartment with more passion than Blaine had ever seen him express for even his prized possessions back at home, his vanity and bed and dressers and cabinets and mirrors and God, Blaine knew them all too well. He knew Kurt's room better than his own at that point, and there were fewer clothes in his own. (Most of his clothes were Kurt's designs, too, Kurt's selections, Kurt's suggestions, Kurt's outfits that he gallantly tried and even wore to school when he found them to his liking and no, Cooper, Kurt didn't dress him all the time.)
He waited. And waited. Each long, echoing thrum seemed to tear something within him, pulling and abrasive. He wanted to throw his phone to the floor, to get away from it and rejoin the happy unreality that awaited him, to pretend that the greatest of his concerns was the people around him and the party thrown in his honor. (And how, how Sugar set up these things on such short notice would forever be a mystery to him but then he made the mistake of looking down at his watch and it was already seven and why wasn't Kurt picking up?)
He didn't hear the soft, finite tap of a fingertip against an iPhone hundreds of miles away.
He did hear the low, repetitive hum of a voice answering mechanism, still pre-set to the original, automated response, with the sole Kurt Hummel slipped in mid-spiel to designate the owner. Two words, and they weren't even his.
Blaine closed his eyes and hit end, his eyes burning.
To always answer your phone call.
To always answer your phone call.
To -
Viciously, he pocketed the phone, resisting the urge to wrap his arms around himself.
He couldn't do this. He couldn't pretend that this was okay anymore, that Kurt being gone wasn't ripping him apart, that it hadn't hurt the first time someone had slushied him at McKinley even though it had only been a stupid orange slushy because dammit he hated orange and it didn't come out of the crisp white shirt that Kurt had lovingly paired with so many of his outfits and now Kurt didn't even care which bow tie he wore to his debate and why the hell would Kurt care about a bow tie when he was in New York?
A cool hand settled on his shoulder. He drew in one deep breath, and then another, and turned to face Sam.
"I can't do this anymore."
The words were out of his mouth before he could stop them. He saw Sam's brow furrow in a frown, his happy expression dropping as suddenly as though he'd announced that the entire election was a sham. Which, he realized, without a trace of resentment, it was. Bitterness welled on his mouth until he feared that sick, roiling feeling in his gut was real and God, he couldn't throw up now, not in front of everyone, he had to geta grip.
He didn't know how he made it to the table. He barely registered speaking, his clammy hands grasping at straws, at the smooth surface of the table itself, at anything. He felt Sam's gaze, calculating and shocked, but he didn't see him, didn't see anything other than you promised, Kurt, you promised we promised this was going to work.
"You're not alone."
Blaine blinked. He looked at Sam, looked at him, and felt some of his equilibrium return. Sure, he hadn't looked for him as a vice presidential candidate - hell, if he had had his pick, then he probably would have picked Marley or someone with at least rudimentary debate skills - but he had pulled through when it counted and if ripping one's shirt off in public did the trick, why the hell not. If it could make him feel even a breath less like he was suffocating, then Blaine would have gladly strutted nude across the stage. Still, the act of camaraderie - idiotically misplaced in a serious political debate but delightfully spontaneous in a high school environment - had touched him. And seeing Sam now grounded him.
The suffocating wasn't real. The drowning wasn't real. None of that was real.
Kurt was gone, but he wasn't gone. He was still within reach. Blaine just . . . had to be patient.
Had to live without his presence.
Blaine swallowed.
"Are you gonna be okay?" Sam asked softly, clearly at the end of his spiel, extending a hand to grip Blaine's shoulder once reassuringly. He nodded unthinkingly, pulling away so he could stand up and smile and accept a hug, blinking back the wetness in his eyes.
"I'm gonna be fine," he assured.
He'll call back.
He's probably busy.
He has things to do now.
Things you're not a part of.
Things you may never be a part of.
Blaine made it to the outer door of the Breadstix before sinking to his knees against the wall, head in his hands.
He didn't feel very presidential or in charge or in control.
I have to do something.
He pushed himself up from the pavement, willing himself not to be seen as he darted back out to his car.
I have to do something.
He punched in Kurt's number again silently as he leaned against the hood of his Jeep, and waited.
Ten seconds passed.
Blaine closed his eyes and stuffed his phone back into his pocket with trembling fingers.
Kurt Hummel cannot be reached at this time, please leave a message after the tone.
Author's Notes: This episode. Ripped. My. Heart. Out.
God help us all when The Break Up comes.
More to come soon. Editing, too.
This is just raw Blaine feelings right here.
Disclaimer: I don't blame Kurt for what he did during the episode.
Allow me to reiterate: I don't blame Kurt for not picking up Blaine's phone call. I don't blame Kurt for not focusing on Blaine during the Skype calls. I don't blame Kurt for being a little selfish about his own future.
I wrote this one-shot from Blaine's perspective, so it will lean towards his bias, but I understand that there are two sides to this story. I present to you here only a small, fractured portion of one side. Make of it what you will, but I hope that I'm not giving a false impression that I personally dislike Kurt and/or think he deserves what's coming. I want the best for both of them, and I hope with this to emphasize that change in Kurt and Blaine's relationship needs to occur before there can be true resolution.

Creating a resume is an art for Chapman Services Group, LLC. Their process takes time and effort. Because of this, the prices for their services are more expensive than their competitors. Keep in mind that although these are pretty expensive, the result will be worth it.
Here are their packages:
- Standard Resume – $397
- Professional Resume – $497
- Senior Professional Resume – $597
- Executive Resume – $797
- C-Level Resume – $997
CSG also offers extra services for other job hunt needs. Please check out their web site for further information.
Delivery is a little longer than other competitors. Unlike the first three on this list, CSG's turnaround time is at least 7 business days. They offer rush services for 2 and 3 days. But to be honest, they're a little bit too expensive. For a 3-day rush service, that will be an extra $127. For a 2-day service, that's an extra $227.
CSG is open from Mondays through Fridays, 8am to 5pm, Eastern Standard Time.
They are active in social media sites. This gives clients and prospective ones alikemore means of contacting them. Their e-mail support team is also prompt in answering inquiries, within approximately 24 hours.
Live chat is not available though, and their phone support can implement some improvements.
Unfortunately, the modes of payment that Chapman Services Group, LLC. accepts are not provided on their web site. I think showing prospective clients their payment options is a smart move. Why? They will be more encouraged to acquire the services because they immediately know they won't have problems paying for it.
In terms of user-friendliness, CSG's web site is not bad, but it's not exceptional either. However, it only takes a very short amount of time to load. Their web site is also compatible with mobile devices, so anyone can view their web site on the go.
Chapman Services Group, LLC is recommended for people who are not only looking for their resumes to be written, but get some career advices as well. This company can accommodate their professional concerns. This company however, is not recommended to those who want to get their documents fast. Also, if one's budget is a little tight, they may not be the best choice. Their prices are a bit high, but with it of course, is guaranteed quality service.

Hur ska du bli när du bli stor?: en studie i svensk gymnasieskola när entreprenörskap i skolan är i fokus
- 2016-12-01 11:13
- Gilla
Eva-Lena Lindster Norberg har utforskat vad som händer med medborgarfostran när entreprenörskap betonas i skolan.
Abstract in English:
The general aim of this thesis is to examine and explain how education fosters future citizens when Swedish upper secondary schools work actively with entrepreneurship in school. Toward this aim, two research questions are asked: How are students governed and how do students govern when focus is on entrepreneurship in school? How do teachers relate to entrepreneurship in school? The study took place in a school development program with a focus on teachers developing their abilities and working with entrepreneurship in schools. Four studies presented in four articles form the cornerstones of the thesis. The empirical data was collected during 2013– 2014 in three of the participating schools. Different methods were used. The first step was reading and analysing policy documents, followed by observations in the classrooms, interviews with the teachers with the help of performance maps, and interviews with the students in gendered focus groups. In total, 14 teachers and 90 students were involved in the study. The schools were geographically spread and represented both public and independent schools. For this study an abductive approach was used, which means that the empirical data were collected and first studied unbiased. Various theoretical models were chosen to find answers to the specific research questions; thus, a connection between the theory and the empirical data was made.
The first article examines whether a citizen with entrepreneurial abilities is fostered in school when the concept of entrepreneurship has a place in the curriculum. This article also analyses the curriculum (Gy11) and more specifically what can be read under the heading The Task of the School. The main result from this study shows that students are emphasising entrepreneurial abilities over other abilities. The second article draws a comparison between John Dewey's ideas of progressive education from the early 1900s and the teaching methods that have come to be advocated for developing student ́s entrepreneurial abilities. The main purpose of progressive education is to foster a democratic citizen; here I could observe that techniques for teaching entrepreneurship are comparable to progressive education, but the purpose is not the same. The purpose of entrepreneurship in school is primarily to foster individuals who are active and responsible for their own future.
Michael Foucault's concept of governmentality is the focus of article three, which explores how students are governed and shaped when entrepreneurship in school is emphasised, and it explores whether boys and girls are governed in different ways. The analysis of the result indicated that the students were governed in three different ways in the three school contexts, and girls and boys were governed in different ways both among the schools and within the schools.
The fourth article addresses how the teachers relate to entrepreneurship in schools in light of new reforms, marketization, more regulation and the demands of being an entrepreneurial teacher. The result shows three narratives: the cool teacher, the stressed teacher, and the frustrated teacher, each handling entrepreneurship in school in different ways.
This thesis shows that the entrepreneur has come to be presented as a hero and entrepreneurship as a solution to cope with challenges—to the global economy, but also for coping with ourselves and our own lives. It also shows that fostering a democratic citizen is subordinate to fostering citizens with entrepreneurial abilities, as the regime of truth is to become the entrepreneur. The students are both governed and governing toward that direction. And even if teachers have different ways of approaching entrepreneurship in schools, the will to be the entrepreneurial teacher and to foster entrepreneurial citizens is clear.

Indian Army Chief in Nepal amid protests by Maoists
Indian Army Chief General Deepak Kapoor today met his Nepalese counterpart as he began a crucial four-day trip amid protests by hundreds of Maoists at the Indian Embassy in the capital.
Kathmandu: Indian Army Chief General
Deepak Kapoor today met his Nepalese counterpart as he began a
crucial four-day trip amid protests by hundreds of Maoists
at the Indian Embassy in the capital.
General Kapoor will hold talks with Nepal`s top
political and military leadership and will be decorated with
the honorary rank of General of the Nepal Army by President
Ram Baran Yadav on Thursday, according to officials.
The decoration for the Indian general comes after
Nepalese army chief General Chhtra Man Singh Gurung was
conferred with the Honorary title of General of the Indian
Army by President Pratibha Patel in New Delhi on December 14,
upholding a six-decade old tradition.
The police arrested over a dozen Maoist cadres who
attempted to wave black flags at the Tribhuvan International
Airport, police said.
Hundreds of communist supporters protested outside the
Indian Embassy in the capital coinciding with the visit of the
Indian general, who has been targeted by the Maoists for
allegedly opposing the en masse integration of the former PLA
guerrillas force into the Nepal Army.
The Indian Embassy here earlier clarified that the
reported remark of Gen Kapoor was "highly distorted" and did
not reflect New Delhi`s position on the issue.
The leadership of the UCPN-Maoist has also accused New
Delhi of encroaching on Nepalese territory along the common
Maoists held anti-India rallies at different parts of
the capital as part of their fourth phase of their protest to
uphold "civilian supremacy" and "preserve national
independence", coinciding with the arrival of the Indian Army
Maoist cadres led by party Vice Chairman Narayankaji
Shrestha and General Secretary Ram Bahadur Thapa staged
demonstrations at the Indian Embassy`s amid anti-India
slogans. They carried banners opposing Kapoor`s reported
remarks against the en masse integration of Maoist combatants
into the military.
The former rebels also staged a sit-in at Singhdurbar
Government Secretariat and in front of the military
headquarters to oppose alleged "Indian intervention" in
Nepal`s internal affairs.
Maoist lawmakers boycotted the Parliament yesterday to
protest against the Indian Army chief`s reported statement.
Kapoor will also call on Prime Minister Madhav Kumar
Nepal and Defence Minister Vidya Bhandari, Army sources
Gen Kapoor will visit the high-altitude military
academy of Nepal Army situated in Jomsom in Mustang district,
some 220 km north-west of Kathmandu and the western regional
headquarters of military in Pokhara, 200 km west of the
Political tensions have been high in Nepal since the
Prachanda-led government resigned last year amid a dispute
with the president over former army chief General Rukmangad
Katawal`s refusal to incorporate former Maoist rebel fighters
into the military.
Prachanda had blamed Gen Katawal for trying to resist
the integration of former rebels into the military as
stipulated under the 2006 peace agreement, which brought the
Maoists into mainstream politics.
The political parties are deadlocked over the
Maoists` demand to rectify the decision of President Yadav,
who reinstated Katawal, the then Army Chief dismissed by
Maoists Prime Minister Prachanda last May.
The Maoists, who have around 40 percent of the seats
in parliament, argue that the president`s move was
"unconstitutional" and has compromised "civilian supremacy"
over the military.
The standoff has put new stresses on Nepal`s
reconciliation efforts amid fears that a planned indefinite
strike by the Maoists from January 24 may derail the peace
