One Thing I Desire & The Family Daughter
What is your deepest desire?
Has your life been engulfed by one consuming passion — that you would more deeply know your Savior Jesus Christ and the fullness of the Gospel?
We are given only one life — one blink of an eye in light of a shoreless eternity. What is our purpose in this earthly life? The greatest comman dis to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, yet how do we love a God we do not know? We know how to fit into the "right Christian circles" and say all the "right things" — but do we personally know the Author of our salvation?
chapters · include
Looking unto Jesus
Includes sections "Personal Evaluations" and "Food for Spiritual Revival"
Sarah's desire is to challenge young ladies to pour out their lives in the Scriptures, seeking the face of their Savior — in the days of their youth. This is vital, so that they will be equipped to teach the next generation about the faithfulness of God.
One Thing I Desire is penned to encourage you in your quest to seek and know your Redeemer through His Word, that your heart would be enraptured by Christ's great work accomplished in the Gospel.
The grandeur of this One Thing will spur you to love Him more with all of your heart, soul, and mind — and to worship Him throughout all of eternity.
About the author
Sarah L. Bryant is grateful for the saving mercy of Jesus Christ and her desire is to love Him more each day. The oldest daughter of Tom & Dana Bryant, Sarah is also author of The Family Daughter and editor of "The King's Blooming Rose."

Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson has often been outspoken to say the least; beef between the Pride FC legend and UFC President Dana White has exploded in recent times, especially since Jackson jumped ship and joined Bellator.
Jackson made a successful promotional debut for BFC, knocking out Joey Beltran at Bellator 108, and dispelling the common opinion that Jackson waqs done with MMA. He may not be at the top flight level that he was during his prime, but he can still put on a show.
'Rampage' was present at a seminar in Sao Paulo, giving interviews during a launch of an MMA academy. Check out what he had to say about UFC Light-Heavyweight champ Jon Jones:
"I think Glover is gonna win. I'm supporting him and I'm betting on him. Jon Jones is an excellent fighter but he doesn't always put on a show for the fans so they aren't always happy with him,"
"He is a great athlete. He is also one of the dirtiest opponents I have fought. If I could, I would break his knee for him so he doesn't fight ever again."
Now that is a huge insult in the world of MMA, Jackson is talking about taking 'Bones' out for good and threatening his livelihood. I know he can be a bit crass, but Jackson may have overstepped the mark with this crack.
Although I doubt that Jackson would ever actually follow through with this talk, but simply talking can get you fired these days; ask Miguel Torres (twice). It is also interesting to see that Page is betting on Teixeira to win, given that he fights with striking similarity to Jackson himself.
Teixeira's plodding style, in my opinion, plays directly in to Jones' strengths as did Jackson's. Maybe it is a case of sour grapes, or perhaps Jackson genuinely believes that GT is the man to finally topple Jones.
Jackson made his attempt at a second tenure as UFC boss when he stepped in against Jones at UFC 135. The result was a pretty nasty four round beat down for Jackson, who succumbed to a rear naked choke by 'Bones' in the fourth.
As always the MMA game waits for no man, and maybe Jackson's latest outburst is yet another sign of his resentment towards the sport that he once loved very much.

Author Bio:
M. Gregg Roe was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. He has a Ph.D. in Physics from Ohio State. He worked at a government lab and in aerospace before finding employment at a small company in the recycling industry. These days he lives in Tennessee and is primarily a writer and personal servant of two cats.
He has always been a voracious reader of fantasy and science fiction, as well as an avid Dungeons & Dragons DM and player. So it seemed natural to make his first novel a fantasy based on the D&D campaign that he has been running since 1979.

Another year passed and another Bass Camp Music Festival shook the Earth with bone rattling music. Returning to South Lake Tahoe's Hard Rock Hotel, BCMF16 boasted its most extensive lineup yet. Featuring UK dubstep legends Nero alongside the singing sister duo Krewella, this year's festival spanned two gloriously sunny days. Other main stage acts included Hermitude, Arty , and Figure b2b Protohype. I've put together an after movie below to give you a taste of what it was like at this year's Bass Camp Music Festival.
The vibes this year were amazing as always. From the moment you entered the festival gates, there was an abundance of laughs, smiles and positivity. Festival goers from all around came together to dance and sing in the sanctuary of musical freedom.
Some highlights of the festival:
Hermitude was the first artists I got to hear on Friday. Flying in all the way from Australia, the duo once again showed why their live electronic performance is one of the most coveted in the industry. Toting drum pads, percussions and even an electric piano guitar, they rocked their 5pm set from beginning to end, evening sprinkling in some tasty new music.
Alvin Risk:
After Hermitude came Alvin Risk. One of my personal favorites, this Owsla signed artist played an exceptionally bass heavy set. With his unique and tantalizing melodic dubstep, he truly embodied the perfect Bass Camp artist as far as music goes. The highlights of his set for me were when he played an unreleased Skrillex song tentatively titled "Pop It" and his own original track "Empty Hearted".
Figure b2b Protohype:
My second favorite set of the weekend came from the bass blasting duo of Figure and Protohype. The combination of Figure's face melting dubstep and Protohype's hyphy yet tastefully trap made for an out of this world experience. Figure was one of the artists that first got me into the electronic music scene back in 2010, and during Nero's set, I had the chance to speak with him and his mother and thank him for his work!
Chill Harris:
Previously known as Kill Paris, this electro-funk master returned to play Bass Camp again after a spectacular performance at BCMF 2014. Corey Baker has been killing the electro-funk game for years now, along other heavy hitters such as Griz and Grammatik in the same boat. The highlight of his set for me was when he dropped Seven Lion's remix of "Beautiful". As one of my favorite songs of all time, it was insanely hard for me to contain my excitement while shooting on stage.
Dack Janiels b2b Wednesday with Surprise Guests Figure b2b Protohype:
This was by far the heaviest set of the weekend. Lofted up 25 feet in the air on the wonderful Dancetronauts stage, these four spun together in a rare b2b2b2b set. The filth that spewed from the speakers for their hour long set sent the entire crowd of hard core bass heads into a feverish frenzy of bass music induced insanity. The front railing that divided the crowd from the stage looked like a paper fence the way it was tossed and thrown around by the increasingly forceful headbanging of the rail riders.
Finally, last but certainly not least, came Nero. Performing a DJ set, only one member showed up to spin, but none the less he was able to throw down my favorite set of the weekend. He did however do something I've never really heard from Nero, and that was to play a lot of other artists' music. The first half of the set was a mixture of his own music as well as others, including Baauer's "Go Go". The second half of the set however, Nero returned to form and closed out with nothing but his own works. As normal, he closed with "Me and You", something that we have come to expect and love about Nero.
This year's Bass Camp was my favorite one since the original back in 2013, largely due to my amazing rave fam as well as the festival expanding to two days. I can't wait for next year's festival, wish you can be sure that I will be attending again!

At Young Minds Psychiatry everyone matters. We communicate with the parents to help them understand what their young ones are going through and how to deal with it.
Our in clinic services can include the following:
* Computerized testing for ADHD.
* Comprehensive evaluation.
* Psychopharmacological intervention.
* Individual psychotherapy.
* Family therapy.
* Psychoeducation.
* Couples Therapy.
Insight-oriented therapy, addresses the source that explains our behavior. Sometimes just realizing where we acquired an irrational fear, belief, or habit is enough. Other times it provides us the conviction or the understanding to work on changing an attitude or a reaction that we know is harmful. Insight often helps us be easier on ourselves; when we recognize there's a reason we feel or behave as we do, even as we recognize that the reason may no longer be a good one. Many patients feel a sense of freedom when they figure/find a solution for the issue.
Medication can be a valuable part of treatment for some conditions. When areas of the brain are over-stimulated/under-stimulated, may respond poorly to therapy. The brain chemistry maybe out of balance, being on the proper medication can improve the results of therapy. Each person is unique, not every person requires medication.

Trends From The Red Carpet 2013
The awards season is the perfect time to see how well the rich and famous embrace the trends. There have been some noticeable red carpet trends that are popping up already that can help inspire us to take on a new glamorous avatar on our next big night out.
Red Dresses
Plenty of gorgeous starlets were seen embracing scarlet on the red carpet this year. Shades ranging from cherry red to dark oxblood stood out. Stock up on loads of crimson for your wardrobe, it's going to be a fashion favourite this year.
Retro Waves
Side partings and soft, bouncy waves was a preferred hair-style of choice this season and we can't get enough of it. Pair it with a bold lip and your show to demand the right kind of attention wherever you go.
All White
Head to toe white is no longer reserved for your wedding day. It's a colour that will always help you look elegantly radiant, just like the celebs did on the red carpet.
Quite a few bold beauties indulged in some flower power this awards season. It's a print that no girl can get enough of, and with spring right around the corner it's an apt trend to wear right now.
The colour black will always be a classic no matter what the occasion. It was no surprise then to see a few beauties in black, a few giving it a daring twist with some sexy peek-a-boos.
Adding some bling on the red carpet were plenty celebrities with the help of sequins and studs. Embellishments are everywhere right now and are a guaranteed way to stand out and shine wherever you go.

Netherlands To Switzerland
[mappress mapid="12"]If you haven't heard, the day after Christmas I'm headed off to Europe. This will be my fourth Eurotrip (one, two, and three) and I can't wait to go explore this amazing part of the world again. This time I'm starting on a direct flight from Portland to Amsterdam that I scored for cheap and reining in the New Year with Melissa, Tomas, Ayleen and more. After the New Year, I'm eventually making my way down to visit my friend Laurent in Lausanne, Switzerland before flying home. My plans are pretty loose, as is the way I usually travel, so I'm excited to see how the trip comes together. With the help of the travel hacking work I've done in the past and my friends in Europe, I'm hoping to keep my trip quite low on cost. I'm going to be updating this post with my trip details as best as I can, so bookmark this page and stay updated. Belgium(I ended up splitting off and Switzerland into their own posts.) (more…)

Thankyou for helping several descendants of Robert and Dorothy Ramsay of Stokesley, N Yorks to connect with each other. There are four of us "definites" already, and there may be a couple more added soon. We're spread from various parts of Yorkshire to Ottawa, Canada and Detroit, USA, and may soon add an Aussie branch. I haven't yet counted the total number of descendants identified, but it's amazing to think how many people now exist just because two young people met and married! Happy hunting to all. I'm continuing to research other major names, including Peirson, Blackett and Askew, mainly in N yorkshire and South Durham. Pat McNamee

Just Say "Yes!"
by Evie Estes
PCI Certified Parent Coach®
How often do we hear our young children asking, "Can I help, Mommy?" What emotions does that sweet and thoughtful request actually evoke in us? Could it be something like, "Ugh! I just want to get this done quickly and move on!" or "That'll be a mess to contend with," or "There's no way it will be done right to my standards, so then I'll have to do it over again!"? How quickly these pre-programmed, negative thoughts can enter our minds and provoke us to give a response such as, "No thank you, honey. You go and play."
Great, well-intentioned parents like us continually squelch our children's natural inclination to be helpful and contribute. Why? Because in a task-oriented age of instant everything we hesitate to accept short-term discomfort now, even though we are inadvertently teaching at this moment the opposite of a value we wish to instill in our kids: that of a helpful contributor to the family and to the community at large for that matter.
Sure, when the kids get older and can almost master a task we sign them up for all kinds of household chores. But what have we done when they were little to provide them some practice and experience the feelings of satisfaction when they have been allowed to help someone? Heck, yesterday even when my nine-year-old (no spring chicken) daughter asked me if I needed help putting away the groceries, I had to bite back the "No, thank you" at the tip of my tongue and allow the "Yes, please, I'd love your help" to emerge. Why is my knee-jerk response still a "No"? I reflected on what my initial thought was as she angelically uttered those words that we think us parents want to hear often, yet time and time again tend to reject. We think, "I need to get dinner started and she will ask me where half the stuff goes anyway. I might as well get it done more quickly myself." Yet that initial thought chain does not support my long term goal of instilling helpfulness, thoughtfulness, kindness, and even philanthropy in my daughter.
After she and I finished putting everything away, which probably took 37 seconds longer with her aid, I sincerely thanked her for kindly offering to help me and pointed out how much more fun it was tackling the job together. She grinned from ear to ear, feeling proud of herself, knowing her actions, however small, can have an impact on others and induce a warm feeling of satisfaction within her. Without missing a beat, her next offer followed: "Can I help you make dinner?"
Note to self this February: Let our children experience our true love and devotion by allowing them to contribute in their 'imperfect' way. Ask for help from our kids often, even when we don't need it, and always accept assistance from them although their 'helpfulness' is more work for us right now. The job that tests our ability to delay gratification will pay off with less work some years down the line. Sigh! Yes, good parents, we are frequently talking years!

OEMPRO is Email Marketing software from Octech. It is a low cost option for setting up your own email server right on your server, even if it is shared. If you decide to go this route, you will need some way to actually get your emails off the server. You can choose from a number of options. The one I prefer to use is SMTP.com (great prices, great service) but for smaller projects, I often use my local MTA or Mail Transfer Agent.
This will use the sending functionality that already exists on your server (sendmail; qmail; etc) and with most hosting providers, you won't need to set up anything. If you are using shared hosting with cPanel, simply enter the following line in the destination box and you should be ready to start sending right away.
/usr/sbin/sendmail -t
Of course, sending with your Local MTA means that you are subject to the rules imposed by your hosting provider. If there is a hourly limit to the number of emails you can send, then you will need to stay within those limits. Check with your hosting provider, as your mileage may vary.
Sending email in OEMPRO with your Local MTA is not the solution for someone looking to do high volume email marketing, but if your business has a small list and you don't want to pay any monthly costs or for every contact, then using your local Mail Transfer Agent might just be the right option for you.
Caveat: For those considering this as their first foray in to email marketing, you should know that when sending emails yourself (vs using a provider) you must make sure that your email authentication (SPF, SenderID,DKIM,DMARC) is up to scratch, or you will run in to delivery problems with most of the major ISPs.

Relaxors as Superparaelectrics with Distributions of the Local Transition-Temperature
A model of relaxors as superparaelectrics with a distribution of the local transition temperature has been investigated. The necessary model parameters are obtained from the analysis of the static polarization response of lead magnesium niobate and then employed in simulations of the frequency-dependent dielectric properties. The present model is compared with a previously published model of relaxors, based on a single transition temperature but with a distribution of the size of the polar regions. Both of them describe some characteristic features of relaxors, i.e. the shift of the peaks in temperature dependence of the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric permittivity with frequency and the broadening of the relaxation time spectrum on cooling. However, a model which takes into account the distribution of the size of the polar regions describes qualitatively correctly the shape of the relaxation time spectrum.

A week ago I attended the Mount Vernon Wine Festival. This was an event that I'd been looking forward to for a while, and I'd heard about for many years. It's well known in the DC area as a rare opportunity (it happens twice a year) to enjoy food and wine on the lawn of George Washington's estate, overlooking the Potomac River, listening to some live music.
It's hard for me to attend any sort of event without keeping my "event planner" cap on. It's for this reason that my husband doesn't love going to weddings with me anymore. So naturally, at this event with hundreds of people, an event that's well-known and obviously successful enough to warren three days twice a year, I had some… feedback.
Overall, the event is well-run. The issues that the Mount Vernon festival run into are no different than other successful festivals, which are, by nature, difficult to plan and execute. Here's why:
First, people. Festivals are almost always crowded (at least the successful ones). A festival could be several hundred people or several thousand people, but they are almost always crowded, at least in some ways. There are just so many people to deal with! There were definitely times during the Mount Vernon Wine Festival that things felt very crowded. Usually this was around the wine tables.
Second, people hate waiting in lines. While some waiting in probably necessary, the more festival organizers can do to limit waiting in line, the better. If you can do things on the front end when guests arrive, such as check for ID at a festival centered around the consumption of alcohol, it moves the line along. Mount Vernon did this and had a brightly colored wrist band.
All transactions add to waiting in line. Anytime cash or credit cards change hands at a festival, it takes time and adds to the length of a line. One way to get around this is by charging one price for everything, making the event essentially unlimited or all-inclusive. Mount Vernon, like many wine festivals, went this route by charging a ticket price that gave guests "unlimited" wine tastings (more on that later). This definitely works better (in terms of the transaction costs, at least) than pay-as-you-go festivals. If guests wanted to buy a full glass or a bottle (or 7… seriously, my husband and I bought SEVEN bottles of wine – to bring home, of course!) there was a dedicated line around the corner for this purpose, keeping the main, front side of the table free for tastings.
People want to get their money's worth. If you DO charge a ticket for unlimited tastings (or unlimited anything), people want to maximize the value. How this plays out at a wine festival is plenty of drunk people. Now, I've been to many wine festivals and I would say that Mount Vernon's had probably the least amount of drunk people (you're at the home of the father of our country, after all!) but there were definitely quite a few people who had a bit too much. At Mount Vernon, the majority of guests seemed to be more interested in buying bottles and snacks and picnicking on the lawn than getting drunk.
Festivals often have inflexible policies that make their guests a captive audience. At Mount Vernon, absolutely no food or drink was allowed inside the festival. Now it's actually state laws that forbid Mount Vernon to let guests bring their own wine, but the food and other drinks was their own doing. Seriously, going through "bag check" was like going through a TSA check point at the airport. But instead of confiscated large bottles of shampoo, the staff were taking grapes and sleeves of crackers.
One area where Mount Vernon did a great job was in providing added value. The $38 ticket included a sunset tour of the house (which normally costs $17), plus George's wine cellar was open, which isn't usually open to the public. Since I'm a huge history nerd, I loved the idea of sunset tours of Mount Vernon so it was a big value add for me.
All in all, the Mount Vernon Wine Festival was a lot of fun, and it despite the challenges of any festival, it was well done. Have you been to the wine festival before? What did you think?

Chinese Cooking Class: Chinese Recipes Pork
That's Mandarin Brings You Moo Shu Pork with Natural Ingredients
Hi Ya'll. Today we have a couple of Chinese cooking videos that depict the following:
- Moo Shu Pork
- Sweet and Sour Pork
In the first cooking video, it's kinda condensed down – i.e., they've adjusted the video so that it doesnt waste yr time (it's sped up, yet you still are able to follow along as each piece of instruction is written on the screen for you).
It's about 3.5 minutes long; Laoshi Du Cong is the instructor, and she is "soft spoken". Also she's speaking in chinese – but don't worry, this really doesn't affect things since there are video screen tips & List of ingredients shown on the screen.
Laoshi holds up each of the raw ingredients – like onion, whole ginger, and garlic slice. This is about 45 seconds into the video – and then, at about 1 minute she explains you should soak the agaric & day lily in warm water SO they'll expand !
One of the next ingredients is soy sauce – and then comes the corn starch.
Moo Shu Pork: Did You Know?
In its traditional form, Moo Shu uses shredded pork & scrambled eggs, stir fried in peanut or sesame oil with wood ear mushrooms and day lily buds. In this video, the cook explains the exact process for the day lily — so don't worry, you can't "screw it up"!
For a twist, here is a cooking video covering how to cook the vegetables for Moo Shu – it's the vietnamese method, and I noticed in this video the lady chef uses chicken broth (& Pork shoulder meat), rice vinegar & kosher salt.
Plus ginger, garlic cloves, brown sugar, wood ear mushroom, purple & green cabbage, hoisin sauce (I've used this & it's pretty good), carrot & green onion. And she will wrap all the veggies & meat in a flour tortilla.
It's 6 minutes, if You care to watch "Moo Shu Vegetables":
The Facts from Wikipedia: Moo Shu Pork
The next chinese cooking video is a doozy – it's a Brit (who runs Howtocookgreatfood.com ) and I like his presentation. He throws the ingredients into a stockpot, naming off each thing as he goes along .. Sort of spontaneous.
Now the first items he tosses into the pot: vinegar (USE any type you want), hot chili peppers & some roughly-cut ginger + sugar; next comes the part where u "bring to a boil".
Then ..he warns you that the VINEGAR is going to emit a real STRONG smell (ha – so watch out). This is the first part of it; then he moves to a Wok. He uses sunflower oil, and gets the wok quite HOT !
Have a Look at "SWEET and SOUR PORK" (7 1/2 minutes long) –
You can subscribe to his channel if u wish. He seems t/b popular (over 42,000 subscribers) – Do so at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tOo3NED_Ac

The newly formed ensemble came on stage to play "Came to Dinner" in December 1999. I had the honor to play for the first time the theater.

Follow our route from the Northwest Caribbean to the Southwest Caribbean … from early December anchor up in the Rio Dulce, Guatemala through April Fool's Day — anchor down in Panama. I hope this information is helpful to those wanting to make the transition between the Northwest and Southwest Caribbean. ENJOY!
We left the Rio in early December, planning to leisurely cruise through Belize, enjoying anchorages we'd missed and revisiting favorites. From Lighthouse Reef Atoll, Belize, it was an easy overnight sail to West End, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras.
Then we took our time easting to Guanaja, the easternmost of the Bay Islands to wait for a weather window allowing us to sail due east for 33 hours, in the easterly tradewinds to reach the remote tiny Vivorillos Cayes at the corner of Honduras and Nicaragua. Then southeast to Providencia, Colombia just outside Nicaraguan pirate waters. 44 hours later we were safely anchored at Providencia, 10 days later a daysail to San Andres, Colombia and finally a 47 hour sail to Bocas Del Toro, Panama … on April Fool's Day — 4 months later.
Here's the link for the route, I've tried to embed the actual Google Map route below, but the link works better.
Cruising Route: Belize to Panama Google Map Link
Our routes are for reference only NOT FOR NAVIGATION. There is no way to use actual lat/long waypoints on a Google Map so I've just dropped markers as close as I can to our anchoring spots. Most places I've included the lat/long where we actually anchored in the description, be sure to doublecheck them before using in case there's a typo – I've checked but you never know.
Each place we stopped has a marker. If you click the marker, you'll find a description, a photo and a link for more information on that place on either my Sail Winterlude or Commuter Cruiser websites. I'm going to be adding more information to these route maps.
Winterlude is a 37′ Passport sailboat with a 5 1/2 foot draft, so if I mention time for a passage, take into account that we generally average 4.5 – 5 knots underway, less if there's current or a headwind. Our 30 hp putt-putt engine was not meant to power us through seas, only to assist in docking & anchoring.
Enjoy! This was one of the best adventures of our lives … so far. If anyone stopped at different spots and has additional info, please leave a comment and share for all. Cheers! Jan

Interview with Moria Chappell
by Marcel Bieger
I followed the boat routes of the spice route from the east of India to Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, China and Polynesia. Incredibly, I found elements of specific similarities in the dance forms that came from these regions, and these regions only. Elements of ancient Cambodian dance from the temples had more in common with Odissi Temple dance than folk dances that were geographically closer. This told me that the temple dance was shared and preserved and passed along the routes as incense, spirituality, and textiles were… each as an element of Goddess worship.
What fascinated me was that these dances are still alive, though dwindling, and that we can still participate and pass forward a classical form that was created 5,000 years ago. Heading west from India the spice route went through Mesopotamia, ancient Carthage and across the Mediterranean to Spain. If you look at the path of the boats, not the land, then you see why some foot patterns in Flamenco, Tunisian dance, and Odissi have similarities. It's akin to linguistic markers that trace back to an origin language... we can see and experience the dance moves that link back to a grandmother dance that links the Middle East with South East Asia.
I often perform, choreograph and direct a group of dancers, a mix of former BDSS dancers and my own students from around the globe who share my fascination with these dance forms, in a troupe we call Wild Saffron. Our shows are operatic in feel, connected by a dreamscape narrative with no hard story line, but a feeling of another world, an old time breathed through with new perspective. Last year we produced a full 2-hour show called "Nocturnal" and this fall we've produced a follow up show called "Incantation" that takes the audience on a hero's journey of innocence lost and found again through transformation.I also plan to begin filming online classes so that the mass of dance knowledge that I have been fortunate enough to collect via my travels can be shared with anyone who has interest in the subject. It is an anxiety of mine that many of these dances will be redefined according to modern dance principles and much of the "belly" will be removed, as is what is occurring throughout South East Asian temple dance forms.

We have only been into one cave. The Oregon Caves are on the top of a mountain in southern Oregon. It is considered strenuous, you have to "qualify" and lots of catwalks and climbing, not for the claustrophobic. You often have to wriggle through slits or climb.

Great post. I used to do a lot of caving here in the UK, and one of the most stunning scenes I have ever seen was Straw Chamber in the Easegill system. This is a huge chamber (think of the inside of a cathedral) with a flat roof, and from the roof hang millions of straw stalactites, each one hollow with a drop of water on the tip. When your headtorch lights them up, it's like a Christmas tree. Unforgettable. Image here.ReplyDelete
I've done the 'turn off the light' thing, too. It's bizarre when you put your hand directly in front of your eyes and you literally cannot see anything at all - darker than the darkest, starless night. Quite disturbing. I'm assuming it's a limestone cave, as the boxwork (according to Wikipedia) is made of calcite, but I'd love to know how they were formed.
Fascinating post, and thank you.
Richard, thanks for the link to the photo, that is a really great picture. Caves are very interesting.ReplyDelete
Bob, I haven't made it up to your area yet, but hope to and hopefully visit the Oregon Caves.

What a fun adventure! Thanks for sharing it.ReplyDelete
The only cave I've been in was a lava tube in central Oregon. It was a self-guided tour, so just the two of us. I can believe you about the level of darkness. On our visit it felt oppressive and that was without turning off the light. In the cavernous areas the light wouldn't reach the walls/ceiling, just light then nothing. Very eery.

So I want to try and have another baby this December. There are pro's and con's to it.
Pro's: my children will be less than three years apart, I will still be in baby mode so it would be easier to have a newborn, and my hubby won't be "too old" for when the kids are both playing.
Con's: my brother is getting married two months later so that means I will not have a celebratory drink (which I don't mind at all) but I'd be puking the whole time, our child may not be mature enough to understand that having a newborn doesn't mean that we love him less, and (the biggest con) I would give birth the month before my wedding; which means I won't be down to my pre pregnancy weight, may not get to have a full out wedding night, and certainly wouldn't be able to have a baby free honeymoon. I'm thinking it would be better to wait till the next December, so we can get married and whatnot, but I don't know if I want my kids to be nearly 4 years apart. Thoughts?
- start trying in December 2015Vote A
- wait until December 2016 to tryVote B

If you are just looking for insight, then I honestly don't see any of those as real negatives. You could try to sneak away and have an early honeymoon, or even go on a second honeymoon. Building a family sounds more important to me than going on honeymoon, or having a drink at a wedding.
Your child not understanding could be a problem at any age. In fact the older the child is, the easier it would be to neglect them and expect them to take care of themselves. This means an older child might have a bigger problem than a younger child. Most people don't have a lot of memories from when they were really young, so they are unlikely to resent a change if they can't remember what life was like before it. So this con will never go away.
You could also consider having the wedding in a few months from now, instead of a year from now. I am sure you have your reasons, but being engaged for a year, while still having kids together doesn't make sense to me. I would just go ahead and tie the knot, then work on having a baby in December.11|00|0
We have been together for a while now, we wanted to wait till our 5 year anniversary to get married, just because I like even numbers. I would be okay with getting married early, and absolutely don't mind not being able to drink (I haven't had a drink in over 2 years and dont mind it at all.) but I just worry about if my son will feel left out. I never want him to feel like we don't love him!
Hurt feelings will happen no matter what age your child is, when you have a baby. Hurt feelings is just a part of life. You not always being able to make your son the center of your world, is just something he will need to learn to deal with. I think you need to worry a little less about what might hurt his feelings, and worry more about turning him into a strong well adjusted adult that can handle not getting his way.
People don't build strength by avoiding difficult emotions. They build strength by learning how to handle their emotions properly. If you shield your son from too much emotional pain, you end up with
with people like that overly sensitive guy and called you an ass, just for preferring to raise your son differently than he was. Your son might have some hurt feelings once in a while, but that is normal for all siblings. Dealing with those emotions is just a part of growing up.

Leon lives! Turkey finds sanctuary
Maybe it was some kind of turkey sixth sense that led Leon to leave wherever he was and hit the streets of Ventura County, California, when November rolled around.
Because we all know — and possibly turkeys do too — what day is coming up.
Leon was found wandering the streets earlier this month and taken to the local animal shelter. A Stockton-based rescue, Harvest Home Animal Sanctuary, pulled him from there, wanting to make sure he didn't end up on someone's Thanksgiving dinner table.
Sanctuary manager Christine Morrissey said it quickly became apparent that Leon expected something more than a turkey's life. He loves to be picked up and carried, petted and kissed, and have his belly rubbed.
"He just took to people immediately," she told THV11.
Morrissey said she doesn't know if Leon escaped from a farm where he was being raised for slaughter, or if he was someone's pet.
But, she noted, "He certainly is the age of a turkey that would be slaughtered for Thanksgiving dinner."
Turkeys have more complex emotions than most people think, she said, but Leon seems one of a kind.
"For an animal to immediately trust us and want companionship, that is, definitely I would say, an unusual trait," she said.
Morrissey is working on teaching him some tricks, trying to figure out how to get a leash or harness on him, and even contemplating whether he has the potential to become a therapy turkey.
Likely, he will end up alongside some cranberries on Thanksgiving — but not as an entree. They seem to be his favorite treat.

The stray that showed up at spring training
A walk-on has joined the Milwaukee Brewers during spring training in Arizona, and there's a good chance he may go back to Milwaukee with them — as a mascot.
A small stray dog who appears to be a bichon frise, or mix thereof, wandered on to the team's complex Feb. 17, with an injured tail and other signs he might have been hit by a car.
After team employees took him to a veterinarian for a checkup and a bath, he was brought back to the stadium and has been there almost every day since.
They've named him Hank, after baseball great Hank Aaron, who began his career in Milwaukee.
"Yeah, he's making a pretty big impact, which I've got to say is pretty cool," pitcher Yovani Gallardo told Newsday.
Believed to be around 2 years old, Hank was assigned No. 1 for his team jersey, and team reports about him on social media have made a local celebrity.
The team has posted signs in the area reporting the found dog, but no owner has stepped forward yet, and different members of the Brewer's organization are vying for a chance to adopt him.
Team owner Mark Attanasio said his wife wants to adopt the dog, and some players have voiced a desire to keep him on the roster and have him travel with the team. "We want to do what's right for the team," Attanasio said. "I think he's really an asset."
Meanwhile, staff members are taking turns housing Hank for the evening.
During the day he watches practice from the stands at Maryvale Baseball Park in Phoenix, or from the dugout, and sometimes he takes to the field.
"Most of the guys here I'm sure we all have dogs back home and not everyone can bring em out because were out were working, pitcher Gallardo told Fox 10 News in Phoenix, "but to have this little guy out here running around with us it's fun, spring training gets long and this makes us enjoy it a little more."

Impotently roaming through Canada
We took the shortcut John Steinbeck couldn't.
And it wasn't because he didn't have Mapquest. It was because he had a dog.
Steinbeck, once seeing Niagara Falls, had hoped to scoot west across southern Ontario, re-entering the U.S. at Michigan. But Canadian border officials told him that, while Charley was welcome in Canada, the author might have some problems getting his poodle back into the U.S.
Steinbeck lacked papers documenting that Charley was vaccinated against rabies, and — 1960 being pre-email, pre-fax — getting sent an instant copy wasn't a possibility. His only choice, other than waiting on the U.S. mail, would have been to drive back into America and get Charley re-vaccinated.
So he opted to turn around. Even that proved problematic. While he never got through the gate to Canada, he got a good grilling once he was back at the entrance to the U.S., and, from the sound of it, got it bit frustrated with the U.S. officials. Steinbeck didn't like government bureaucracies. "Government can make you feet so small and mean that it takes some doing to build back a sense of self-importance."
Ace and I on the other hand would have no problem on either end. I had his paperwork, but wasn't asked for it at any point.
We zipped right through Ontario, traveling less than four hours, and under 200 miles, as opposed to the seven hours and more than 400 miles it would have taken had we stayed in the U.S., veering south and north again.
The scenery, once we got outside of Niagara Falls, wasn't much different than what Pennsylvania and Ohio would have offered — a lot of the same flat land and fast food franchises. The only real difference was the money and the metric system. I stopped for some 99-cent gas — even though I knew it was that much per liter. And even though it cost about the same to fill my tank, it still felt good to get something — ephemeral as it was — for under a dollar.
I popped inside the gas station to get some cigarettes, and asked when I didn't see the standard racks of them behind the counter. The employee pulled open a big drawer — law requires them to be kept out of view — revealing numerous brands I'd never heard of in funny boxes. I asked her what was cheap.
She recommended "Next." I paid in American, got change in Canadian. The pack's government-required warning — one of several really hard-hitting ones — showed a burned cigarette, with all its ash hanging on, though in a very limp manner, and a written reminder that the cigarettes I intended to smoke could make me impotent.
That not being a big factor in my life right now, I lit one up. They were shorter than American cigarettes, which is how America would want it, but there are more to the pack.
I would have liked to spend a night in Ontario, smoking my Nexts, and the only reason I didn't was fear of big roaming charges if I got on my phone or my computer.
Leave it to America to come up with roaming charges (I'm assuming we invented them). What's next? Freedom fees. Wanderlust taxes? Curiosity tolls? America seems to like us to stay put and spend money, and if we go somewhere, have a destination and reach it, thruway style. Do what the GPS lady says. Don't you dare stray from the path. Stay within the parameters of your network.
I'm sure there are good reasons for roaming fees, I just don't like the name. The word "fees" should just not be attached to a concept as free and wide open as "roaming."
I feel a song coming on:
Oh, give me a home, where the buffalo roam (fees may apply)
And the deer and the antelope text.
As a society, partly because of our increasing tendency to take directions from computers, we have grown less likely to be vacilando. It's a Spanish word, from the verb vacilar. As Steinbeck notes in Travels With Charley: "If one is vacilando, he is going somewhere, but doesn't greatly care whether or not he gets there."
Steinbeck said there is no English equivalent for the Spanish word. I would argue "roaming" comes pretty close, though.
Vacilando as we've been on our journey, we didn't wander much in Ontario, and managed to get to Sarnia and the U.S. entry gate just as the sun was going down. There was no search, there were no seizures, just a flash of the passport, a peek at the dog and a few polite questions about whether I'd purchased anything in Canada ("Just these funny little cigarettes," I replied).
We stopped for the night right there — in Port Huron — and took off the next morning for the other side of Michigan and step two of our shortcut: a ferry ride across Lake Michigan.

Cat meanders a long way from Albuquerque
A cat from New Mexico turned up unexplainedly in Chicago –1,300 miles from his Albuquerque home.
No one knows how he got there, but eight months after disappearing from his home in New Mexico, Charles was picked up by Chicago Animal Care and Control.
Fortunately, he was checked there for a microchip — and had one.
That still wasn't the end of his troubles. His owner said she lacked the funds to go there and pick him up, raising the possibility that, after traveling so far, he would be euthanized.
Then another Albuquerque resident came to the rescue. Headed to Chicago on a trip, he agreed to pick up Charles and bring him back home.

Where's home? Dundalk dog found wandering
This little beauty was found wandering the streets of Dundalk Saturday.
She was taken in by one good samaritan and passed along to another good samaritan, who is fostering her in Baltimore until a home can be found — either her original one or a new one.
She being called "Ella."
A spirited and loving mutt — my guess is a Rottweiler/Jack Russell mix …"Jack Rottsell?" — she was found just off Dundalk Avenue, near Sollers Point Road.
She was found without a collar or tags, is estimated to be about five months old and gets along wonderfully with other dogs.
If you're interested in Ella, contact Lori at email@example.com

"Jughead" freed from his jug in Virginia
A dog seen wandering around Danville, Virginia last week with a plastic container stuck over his head — in the fashion of a spaceman or deep sea diver — has been captured and relieved of his involuntary helmet.
A police officer captured the dog Friday morning, after a resident spotted him and called for help.
He's now in the custody of the the Danville Humane Society, which has named him "Jughead."
The Humane Society had been trying to catch "Jughead" all week because the plastic container — similar to one cheese puffs might come in — was preventing him from eating or drinking. They'd offered a $500 reward to anyone who could capture him.
Danville Police Officer Mike Smith captured the dog Friday after a woman spotted him resting on a porch on Colquhoun Street, the Danville News reported.
"He was eager to drink. He seems to be doing better now. He seems to have come around a little bit. He was very scared and very shy when we first saw him but he seems to be doing better now, Danville Humane Society Director Paulette Dean said.
The Humane Society says it will put Jughead — believed to be a pit bull-chow mix, about four years old — up for adoption if no owner is found.
Dean said Jughead wasn't the first animal to get entrapped in litter. The society has had cases of stray cats, a fox and a raccoon getting their head stuck in containers.
"There are dangers of littering," she said. "People need to keep their trash contained."
And their dogs, too.

Dog and owner reunite after 10 years
Gary Rowley hadn't seen Brindle since 1999, when his dog nosed open a door and disappeared into the night.
This past Sunday — thanks to a microchip, Facebook and an animal lover who volunteered to drive the dog 1,300 miles back home from Oklahoma — they reunited at Rowley's home in Fredricksburg, Virginia.
"He needed a way home," said Laurie Swain, who flew from Virginia to Oklahoma, then drove the dog back. "If the dog can wander 1,300 plus miles in 10 years I can certainly spend a few days driving."
Rowley had given up on finding the dog in the decade since he went missing, shortly before the Super Bowl in 1999.
Then, last month, he received a message on Facebook: "Did you ever have a dog named Brindle?"
The question came from an Oklahoma military family who had discovered Brindle hiding under a bush, NBC News in Washington reported. After a local veterinarian found a microchip in Brindle's neck, the family tracked Rowley down.
"I don't know what to say. I just can't believe someone would do this," Rowley said.
Rowley has no idea how Brindle managed to wander so far from home, but he says it won't happen again.
"For him to get out now, he's going to have to turn a knob and flip a dead bolt," Rowley said. "I'm still thinking about some of those child safety locks."

Let me bring you in on a firm belief of mine: every woman needs girls' weekends. There are just certain things that are good for the soul; travel, water, sunshine, and the power of solid relationships with those that know and love you best. Bring all those together and you've got the ultimate combination for rejuvenation.
A few weeks back I took a weekend trip to Palm Springs with some of my favorite ladies to celebrate our dear friend Lily's birthday. On the agenda was nothing besides a few planned dinners, lounging by the pool, and sunshine. Exactly how a getaway should be!
I hate leaving my little family for any period of time, but I also recognize the importance of spending one-on-one, quality time with your friends to keep bonds strengthened. So, I packed up my bags and headed west. And while I
annoyed called Doug and Grace every chance I could, I was happy for a little "me time" break from the constant go-go-go that often happens in life. I've been fortunate to travel quite a bit this year, whether through my job or personal trips, and there's just something about a getaway with just the ladies that leaves you feeling refreshed. It all got me thinking about girls' weekends and their importance. I know for me it's so hard to find time for coffee, let alone a full weekend, but whenever I do prioritize special time with friends I am never disappointed. It takes lots of effort, but it's well worth it.
With that, I give you 5 reasons why every woman needs girls' weekends. I hope that this inspires you to email/text/call your favorite ladies and work together to set aside time to bond in the coming months and years!
- You'll feel more connected. Let's face it, with how crazy life gets, time together with friends doesn't happen as often as we'd all like. Setting aside a day, better yet a weekend, will help to bring you together so you can do all the important catching up that's long overdue. I always find that with good friends, even if I haven't seen them in forever, it feels like not a day has passed.
- Free reign to chat about whatever. On our latest trip, I think we covered every topic under the sun, including what was new in our lives, funny memories together, and yes, the latest gossip about Brad + Angelina. While the conversations may vary, there's nothing like some great, unbiased deep dives with your ladies.
- Complete relaxation is very, very important. A weekend away sans major responsibilities is a brain break that you don't even realize you needed until it happens. It clears your mind, de-stresses, and enables you to come back completely refreshed, all of which ultimately makes you a better you.
- Girlfriends spice things up. I know I'm not just speaking on behalf of my own friends when I say that the level of goofiness that goes on during a weekend with the ladies is amazing. Who else can you sing at the top of your lungs to Shawn Mendes with, or quote "Real Housewives" at a rate of 10x an hour? Only girlfriends know how to get on that level, am I right?
- Weekends away help you to live your best life. You look forward to them before you go, you love the company while you're there, and you create memories that'll last for years to come. Need I say more?
Inspired to plan a trip? The Travel Channel, Travel and Leisure, and Redbook have some great suggestions for your next girlfriend getaway!

You can get that kind of stuff everywhere. Since it's pretty timeless and universal, I recommend a few expensive but good pieces
Asos, Zalandoo, NordStorm and even amazon are pretty good for a range of different brands. But virtually every brand has their own online store as well. Calvin Klein, Polo Ralph Lauren, JCrew , Tommy Hilfiger, Abercrombie, Lacoste...
I don't know if Zara has an online shop but they're pretty good too and H&M has a few good things too and they're cheap
Suits you need to try on if you're not used to a brand so go out and browse the summer sales. I can't remember the last time I bought something full price00|00|0

Zappos is good for dress shoes. Look for rounded toe instead of squared ones.
H&m, uniqlo has casual shirts. Watch for quality.

The second best option seems to be a HTC 8X... Anyone know where I can find one? (haven't seen one in the stores I've been to)
