PANDA Sweetie gets up close and personal with a snowman yesterday — then munches off his carrot NOSE.
The female bear enjoyed playing with her new 'friend' made by Edinburgh Zoo staff.
She demolished him in playful bursts, before rolling large snowballs made out of his body down the hill of her enclosure.
Experts say pandas love snow. Here's hoping zoo male panda Sunshine can melt her heart during mating season.

As a drifter, he wanders into a small Columbus township in search of an old friend, but is met with intolerance and brutality by a local sheriff who is used to getting his way. Once incarcerated, Biggs soon finds himself reliving the awful memories of his tattoo apprenticeship days and unleashes his fury on the officers. Biggs is pursued by the sheriff and the local police into the woods as Biggs begins a personal war against them using his tattoo skills. It will take his former tattoo mentor to save the hunters from the hunted.

text: We are still at the hospital. I am getting ready to go to sleep after being up all night with Jess. It wasn't too bad because I slept all of yesterday with a migraine. They told us it was very rare for anyone to stay the whole 5 days. We go home tomorrow. Of course we are the rarity. Jess has had one time when her legs spasmed and pulled up tight and she had to force them to straighten. I made her wait until the doctor on call saw what they were doing. doctor on call seemed very young but said it was the "freakiest" thing she had ever seen. That was NOT reassuring. The wires and the hat holding them on came loose yesterday. The eeg tech on duty tried to chew us out for it. I ahve no patience for that. Jess did NOTHING wrong. Tech said that it all happened because J pushed the chin strap off her chin. Gee, it left deep red marks on her face so she ASKED the nurse if she could. Jess even waited until the nurse came back after asking the doctor if it was okay. Then tech got mad because J was sleeping with covers on. Wanted to gripe at me because she was sure I "knew better" and was keeping the room cold for MY comfort. Hah! She was informed, rather curtly, that hte temp was ALL up to Jess and I had not even touched it. She was also told that she could be grumpy elsewhere but we would NOT be treated rudely. I suggested that maybe these rules, like no covers etc.... be written down because the tech who put the wires on and started the eeg said NOTHING at all about this. Jess is trying hard to not sleep, hoping that it will trigger something. It is hard iwth nothing to do but stay in a room for a week. Other than a really strange period about 4 am where she was pacing, walking nonstop, could NOT sit still or even walk with-o having her arms moving around not flapping but wiggling and fidgeting, we have had NOTHING that I can pinpoint. I am betting that with-in 12 hrs of going home she freezes and her whole body freaks out. Which will drive me nuts. I swear she is a toaster. They NEVER have problems when the repair person is looking at them!!! This will sound strange, but PLEASE send board mojo and prayers that she has the all body spasms, her head pulls to the side and all muscles pull her body in odd ways, and that she also, separately, has at least one freezing spell. ALL before we go home tomorrow. I really did NOT want to start neurontin 3 weeks before this test. But the doctor insisted, and it seems to be taking care of the absence seizures. So the doctor isn't seeing them, sigh. Thanks.

The Broken Fall
I hate the fact that everything breaks
Hearts and horses, especially plates.
A man would like to sleep but then awakes
The weather so sunny shifts, never waits.
Everything breaks, smashed or just a bit
Buildings crumble, teeth are chipped
The white shirt gets a spot, a lady takes a fit.
Morning brings daybreak, the champion is whipped.
Cars stop in the middle of nowhere, for no reason.
Coffee breaks, cigarettes, tea and cakes
Broken legs and second acts
Relationships and broken backs
Voices and promises and hymens
Banks and records, even cut diamonds.
It makes you see so clear
How if nothing ever broke
Nothing would happen, appear.
Life, living, just a broken fall
Before we're returned to the bottom
The unchanging all.

"We have to recognize once more that the individual exists not in himself alone but in the collectivity, and that individual perfection and liberation are not the whole sense also the liberation of others and
of mankind; the perfect utility of our perfection is, having realized in ourselves the divine symbol, to
reproduce, multiply and ultimately universalize it in others." ~ Sri Aurobindo, The Synthesis of Yoga
The Eighth Direction
In the traditional Native American Directions, a typical reading would include the following: The East, South, West, North, Above, (Father Sun), Below (Mother Earth) and Great Mystery or Kitche Manitou (Wakan Tonka). However, this reading lacks one important element, which I feel is vital to any Spiritual practice. That element is an acknowledgement of our Unity Consciousness, and as such therein is implied All My Relations.
In the Lakota tradition, the ideology of the "underlying connection" and "oneness" with All is expressed as Mitakuye Oyasin, which translates as the afore mentioned All My Relations.
In the Spirit Realms, which these "Extra-Terrestrial" Directions inhabit, time is completely irrelevant. Nevertheless, the following analogies work for me because of the unity of (no)time they suggest.
Time of Year – Dec. 31 – Jan. 1
Time of Day – 11:59 PM – 12 AM
Time of Life – Between Death and Rebirth (when we meet our "Away Team"*)
The Color – The Full Color Spectrum, visible and beyond
The Part of the Plant – The Whole Plant, Root to Bloom
The Totem – The Seven Sisters – The Pleiades
The Element – The Aether – the material that fills the region of the universe above the terrestrial sphere
The Spirit Guide – Hiawatha – It was he who proposed the unification of the five tribes of Iroquois peoples, who shared common ancestry, as the one united Iroquois Confederation.
The Minerals – White Optical Calcite, Rainbow Quartz
The Lessons – Unity Consciousness, Oneness with All
A closer look at what these ideas implies reveals that if indeed we are connected to "all our relations" then that means that we are connected not only to our whole bloodline, through our parents and their parents, etc, as well as to all of our offspring and theirs too, though yet unborn. In other words, we are connected to all those back to the first Mother, as well as to all of our "past and future lives," throughout all Time and in every Density and Dimension, extending even unto all Interstellar Intelligences. This Direction is also the home field of all the Archetypes, of all ancient mythic Beings of Lore, of astrological and alchemical symbolism each which carry the implicit "as above so below." Lastly, it extends to our "Away Teams"* with whom we navigate Homeward as we sail upon the oceans of our dreams.
Unity Consciousness
Aho Mitakuye Oyasin is a simple yet profound statement. It comes from the Lakota Nation. In their language it means "all my relations." It is spoken during prayer and ceremony to invite and acknowledge all "relatives" to the moment. That Lakota, "all my relations" is a prayer of oneness and harmony with all forms of life: other people, animals, birds, insects, trees and plants, and even the rocks, rivers, mountains and valleys.
The Lakota Sioux Prayer of Oneness and Gratitude
Aho Mitakuye Oyasin….All my relations. I honor you in this circle of life with me today. I am grateful for this opportunity to acknowledge you in this prayer….
To the Creator, for the ultimate gift of life, I thank you.
To the mineral nation that has built and maintained my bones and all foundations of life experience, I thank you.
To the plant nation that sustains my organs and body and gives me healing herbs for sickness, I thank you.
To the animal nation that feeds me from your own flesh and offers your loyal companionship in this walk of life, I thank you.
To the human nation that shares my path as a soul upon the sacred wheel of Earthly life, I thank you.
To the Spirit nation that guides me invisibly through the ups and downs of life and for carrying the torch of light through the Ages, I thank you.
To the Four Winds of Change and Growth, I thank you.
You are all my relations, my relatives, without whom I would not live. We are in the circle of life together, co-existing, co-dependent, co-creating our destiny.
One, not more important than the other. One nation evolving from the other and yet each dependent upon the one above and the one below. All of us a part of the Great Mystery.
Thank you for this Life.
So these are some of the attributes of All My Relations, and as you know that YOU are the Wheel, so you know too that they are elements within YOU.
Know this to be so, embrace them in your heart, feel them within, and say: I AM/WE ARE All My Relations!
* The Away Team This term is borrowed from the original Star Trek television series. When Captain Kirk would "beam down" to a new planet he would routinely take several members of the Enterprise crew with him. This group was always referred to as the "away team." Like that away team, we too come into this life with a "crew" of spiritual "shipmates" who have agreed to appear at key points along our life's path, some joyfully, those who we would consciously think of as "soul mates," and some who have agreed, in our life between lives, to sacrifice our good opinion of them, or in other words, those who would seem to have been, shall we say, less than friendly, but without whom we would never have made the changes that were necessary to have brought us to the very place where we are today. They are all, all, part and parcel, members of our hand picked "Away Teams."
Do you recognize any of yours?

This weekend I was down in Brighton with the ladies to support the BM10k and the Brighton Marathon. This is the second year I've been down, but some of the girls this is the 4th year. It's a weekend of laughing, shopping, eating and drinking!
Including some amazing breakfasts from Al Campo and Moksha Caffe – both very yummy and worth trips for food any time of day.
I do mean any time of day! This is the battenberg from Moksha and I also had a V60 pour over coffee, which was amazing too.
The rest of the time was spent wandering the charity shops and the Laines. We stopped at Choccywoccydoodah's to have a gander at all the treats (nothing purchased though!).
I enjoyed some gelato in the rain at Gelato Gusto. I had the coffee and the white chocolate honeycomb. I saw they had maple bacon after I had ordered and would have tried that if I had realised.
I found a tattoo and piercing parlor that was open and got my ears re-pierced using needles rather than a gun. It stung, but didn't hurt as I remember the gun doing. Also I have silver coloured earrings, rather than the gold ones you usually have to have which is great. Now just to take care of them so they heal properly so I can add to my jewelry collection with funky earrings.
The Sunday was spent supporting the ladies running the 10k and a couple of club runners doing the marathon. It was a great weekend away and I'm looking forward to next year's trip already as one of the group signed up to do the marathon next year!

Completely unrelated to anything I've yet done on this blog, I have a YouTube channel. It's just a hobby channel–started off with random stuff to share with family and then wound up showing the putzing around that I do in my garage/shop. A year or so ago I decided to "monetize" it–show ads. Well looky what happened today:
That's right! I met the payment threshold. YouTube won't pay you until your earnings cross the $100 mark, and apparently that just happened. A fat Ben Franklin is heading my way, just in time for Christmas. Woo hoo!
In case you're wondering–I have at this moment a total of 66 videos, 302 subscribers, and 78,094 views on my channel.
Yeah, that's chicken scratch. I know. But I've been having fun with it. The people who make real money at this business, I'm convinced, are the ones who sit around figuring out how to make videos that go viral–boob shots, cute pets, guys hurting themselves being stupid (usually taking a hit to the junk in the process), "vine" compilations, stuff like that. None of that really appeals to me, but who knows? Maybe I'll get inspired someday.
On a more serious note–I have to say that my shop addiction is an instance in which I find my "doing" preferences to be at odds with my "simplification" goals. I have a shit-ton of tools, and I'd have to get rid of most of them if I ever wanted to travel light again. It could be done. When I was in grad school, living in the dorms, I made do with a Black and Decker Work-Mate for a workbench and a few woodworking hand tools, including a nice set of carving gouges. I got a lot of mileage out of that setup.
A tipping point for me was when I got into metalworking a few years ago. The tooling possibilities for that hobby are insane. With woodworking, I could realistically imagine hitting a point at which I would quite literally not want a single other tool. In metalworking, there will always be something that would be "nice" to have. And it's not very portable stuff. "Heavy Metal," and all that. Har har. My Bridgeport mill weighs roughly 2,200 lbs. Yeah, literally a ton. And change.
So who knows what the future will bring? The kids are still in school, so we won't be going anywhere for another five years or so. May as well use the garage to its fullest, right?
I've downloaded a YouTube plug-in for WordPress which is supposed to allow me to integrate the channel into the blog. Maybe that will be set up by the time you read this. Meantime, here's a link to my channel:

[Via Twitter]
Now that we're officially into 2016, I guess the time for reflecting on 2015 is over… Or is it? I mean, for fans of the Toronto Blue Jays, 2015 was the best year in a couple decades. There has already been plenty of reflection done, but as far as I'm concerned, there can never be too much.
I remember on day, leading up to the commencement of the 2015 MLB season, where I was laying on the couch and a TV special of the Top 100 Plays of the 2014 season came on. At that point, I knew who Josh Donaldson was, but I hadn't seen him play a whole lot. Throughout that special, there were probably at least 10 plays that Donaldson was involved in. TEN of the top hundred. From that, I thought "Damn, this new guy the Jays picked up seems promising."
Of course, little did I know then that he would be crowned American League MVP by season's end.
With Edwin Encarnacion and Jose Bautista already in the lineup, Donaldson's acquisition created one of the most fearsome trios in all of baseball. The meat of the Jays' batting order left no place for pitchers to hide, and those three combined for more than half of all the Jays' 232 regular-season home runs.
Donaldson, Encarnacion rising in #MLB Player Rankings. http://t.co/zPhyItUF00 pic.twitter.com/VzQdL3Xb5e
— Scott Cullen (@tsnscottcullen) August 27, 2015
Of the 120 dingers the Jays' big three socked in 2015, 41 of them belonged to The Bringer of Rain – a career best. Here are all of them, in order:
Edwin Encarnacion has a tradition for every time he hits a home run now. You've probably seen it – where he walks his parrot around the bases on his arm. It's called the "EdWing," and if you're curious how it started, you can find out HERE.
Double-E broke out the "EdWing" 39 times during the regular season – so if you're still not sure what I'm talking about, you will be after watching all of 'em in order.
Isn't his swing pretty? So much power. I mean, check out #4 where he absolutely crushes the ball into the empty 500-level at Rogers Centre. It's also hilarious seeing how empty the ol' SkyDome was at the start of the season compared to how it was filled to capacity toward the end.
So, there's 80 of the 120 homers accounted for. The other 40 belong to Joey Bats. As of right now, the creator of these two videos has NOT done one for Jose Bautista's homers yet… But I'll be patiently awaiting it.
Until that happens, just relive the glory of what may very well go down as the biggest home run of Bautista's career:
Ahh, so satisfying watching Rangers pitcher Sam Dyson getting rocked like that, especially now knowing his antics after the fact.
I will openly admit this – One day a few weeks back, I was laying in bed, procrastinating a little bit. I grabbed my iPad and fired up YouTube on it, and watched back the whole second half of the 7th inning from that game. The first time I saw it, I was in a noisy, crowded bar in Niagara Falls, so I couldn't really hear the commentary and had missed a few things. When I watched it back, it deepened my understanding of everything that went down. Then when that moment came, the infamous bat flip moment… Well I'd be lying if I said I didn't shed a few tears of joy watching it again. It was quite a powerful moment – one of those things where you'll always remember where you were when it happened. Maybe not as big in the history of the Jays as Joe Carter's World Series-clinching Walk Off Homer, but for a younger generation of Jays fans, this will be the one that stands out.
Things are looking good for the Jays to repeat their success (or at least to a degree) this year… But until April comes around, we'll just have to keep ourselves busy with stuff like this.

Manhattan Micro-Loft Design by Specht Harpman
This apartment was probably the most unusual residential restoration projects we have you been associated with. Situated towards the top of a brownstone on Manhattan's Upper West Side, the footprint would be a small 425 sq ft, however the space extended up and down for roughly 25 ft, coupled with use of a roof terrace. Because it been around, the arrangement am awkward there wasn't a reasonable place to discover a mattress or perhaps a couch.
Our solution produced four separate "living platforms" placed inside the space that offer room for the necessities but still permit the apartment to feel open and lightweight-filled. The cheapest level is definitely an entry and kitchen space, along with a couple of steps up may be the primary living space. Over the living space is really a cantilevered mattress pavilion that projects out in to the primary space, supported on steel beams. Your final stair leads up to and including roof garden. All of the spaces flow into each other and the thought of distinct "rooms" is dissolved actually, the only real door inside the space may be the one in to the bathroom.
Manhattan Micro-Loft Design by Specht Harpman
Because of the tiny size the apartment, every inch of space is used. Stairs aren't basically for circulaton with the apartment, but feature built-kept in storage cabinetry and drawers below. The primary bath and shower, actually, will also be built underneath the primary staircase. Your kitchen featured fully hidden home appliances, switch at any height storage models for simple access, along with a counter top that systems in to the primary living area, being a virtual "hearth" with built-in entertainment system. You will find no traditional closets within the entire apartment.

The directions were written on a portable dry-erase board: 500-yard warmup, six repetitions of 100 yards, six repetitions of 50 yards (slow, medium and fast) and six repetitions of 25 yards (slow and fast).
All to be completed in 55 minutes, at the swimmer's own level of comfort.
The inaugural Crescent City Masters Swim Club practice kicked off without fanfare at noon on a January Saturday. Eight swimmers took to the middle three lanes - slow, medium and fast - at Fred Endert Municipal Pool in the hopes of getting a little better.
"You don't want to be the slow person in the fast lane," club organizer Dan Gray said. "When that happens in lap swim, you can't get a workout in."
Gray, a Crescent City resident and a Masters swimmer for 27 years, generated the interest in forming a club during the fall and, in cooperation with pool manager Matt Hildebrandt, reserved a set time - noon to 12:55 p.m., every Saturday - for the club's use.
"When developing a program from scratch, it's difficult," Gray said. "The biggest thing we're trying to do is measure the interest in the community."
Within half an hour, the group's numbers swelled to 11 and Gray co-opted part of a fourth lane for the club's use. Most of the swimmers had developed strokes; all had developed enthusiasm.
"I'm excited that there's going to be a Masters Swim club in Crescent City," swimmer Michael Saberr said. "To me, the pool is one of the best things about Crescent City."
Saberr, 50, has participated in, by his count, 60 triathlons, including three Ironman triathlons. He came to Endert Pool on Jan. 5 to rediscover his stroke.
"It's good not to develop bad habits," Saberr said. "I can already feel my style of swimming (return)."
In between exercises, Gray offered words of encouragement as well as observations on people's stroke technique.
"He's a very good instructor," Saberr said. "It seems like he knows what he's doing."
Forty-five minutes into the session, a swimmer exited the pool and accosted Gray, expressing her disapproval over the Masters Swim club "taking over the pool." She worked during the week, she said, and could only carve out time to swim on the weekends. Ten minutes later, a pair of gentleman approached Gray to learn more about the fledgling club.
There is, in Gray's eyes, much work to be done. The current 55-minute time slot is set for the near future but subject to change if the pool needs it. Gray would also like to affiliate the club with U.S. Masters Swimming; that would require a yearly payment in the future (up to $68) but would help to defray the insurance cost for Endert Pool.
For now, the beginning effort was deemed successful by all participants.
"I really didn't think there would be this many people," Gray said, "but I know there are others (that are) interested out there that couldn't make it today. We'll see."

Inside discusses the fabulous aspects of this hue and how it's the palette for 2008, dictating fashion for shoes, clothes and yep! PURSES! Reminds me of the pink era 5 years ago (which will probably be next years color BTW!!) Anyway those purple Chloes are drop dead gorgeous my fear no sale with these bags, demand will probably be high and since they're a seasonal color???? Whaaaaaa!

A young girl is not letting the death of her father slow her down. Not one bit.
DISCLAIMER: We were not paid to promote this, I just thought that this girl"s story was great and the idea of making AP classes more accessible to women and people of color is important to me. Cool, let"s dive in.
The College Board launched a new ad campaign called "All In," which promotes the benefits of taking advanced placement (AP) classes.
They"ve got a huge goal — to get every single qualified student enrolled in AP classes.
Their latest ad follows Luhit Recinos, a senior taking two AP classes at her high school in Miami. But Luhit"s not a model student. Her story stood out to the producers because she spoke candidly about her obstacles while admitting that she doesn"t like to study.
Rada Film Group, a company that produced the ads with The College Board, explained:
"We wanted to target the students who were on the fence about enrolling in advanced placement … students who were, in fact, unexceptional. In other words, we wanted these students to be relatable and identifiable because you don"t have to be exceptional to take AP." — Rada Film Group
AP classes actually helped Luhit focus after dealing with an even larger challenge in her life, the death of her father.
"I never thought my father was gonna die at such a young age. … Something that my father always wanted to do is have a job that wasn"t so hard on him. It"s difficult not having an education." — Luhit Recinos
Luhit and her dad
While family is important to her, Luhit learned that they can"t always be with you. So focusing on school and pushing herself to take advanced classes made sense. "At least your education comes with you. Your education is part of you," she said.
Students can apply the credit that they receive from these advanced classes towards college.
But that"s not the only reason why Luhit"s taking them. She plans to be a psychologist and thinks the critical thinking skills she"s learning will help her win at life.
"AP classes are a challenge. But if you know what you"re worth, then go get what you"re worth." — Luhit Recinos
The College Board hopes to reach more students like Luhit with its new All In campaign.
Young women and students of color are on their radar. Currently "only three out of 10 African-American students with potential for success in an AP science course enroll [but] a single AP class can change the educational trajectory of a student"s educational career," says Rada Film Group.
They predict that in three years, "new AP courses will reach over 9,000 low-income students, and over 500 STEM classes will be developed to encourage women and minorities to excel in math and science. That is elevating 9,000 students with the opportunity to contribute substantially to the economy in ways they may not have achieved."
It looks like Luhit"s on the fast track to greatness.

Hi there and welcome to my Reselling WhizKid review! If you are looking for the most honest and unbiased review among many Reselling WhizKid reviews out there, you may find what you need right here in my Reselling WhizKid review. In this post, I will introduce you a brand new model named Reselling WhizKid to make fast and easy money online while giving my most detailed evaluation about this product.
First of all, let's talk about what this Reselling WhizKid is about.
Now, you may already know that there are many methods to make money online and with some of them, you don't even have to create any products.
You can be an affiliate marketer who promotes others' products.
And you can also be a reseller who buys products with PLR rights and resell them for fast and easy money.
By this, you have nothing to risk because the product is great itself and your job is now only introducing it to other people. Successfully introducing it to one people already gives your bank the original balance, and you can multiple it endlessly starting from the second customer.
Sounds amazing, right? But the fact is that there is only one right way while wrong paths are many. You have to learn the exact way to do the job from the first step, so you don't have to risk your budget and can shorten the turnaround time.
Today, I'm glad to introduce the course Reselling WhizKid. This course is the exact master-guide you will ever need to take your step into the reselling industry. It will give you everything from the basic idea about this kind of business to making the success with minimum investment.

The first question is what exactly this Reselling WhizKid is all about. Well, as I said above, this is an ultimately comprehensive training course on how to build a reselling empire from A to Z and how to scale it to get much more profit in less working time.
The course is taught by the reselling professional named Ansh Deb – a successful reseller with 5-year experience in the product reselling business and making money online.
In this part of my Reselling WhizKid review, I will go on a brief summary about what Ansh Deb offers in his course as well as the value you will learn from this ultimate training.

Now, every business has its own rules to success. If you don't know them, chances are your will put your business and investment in a high risk of total failure. And that's not good at all, right?

However, I have some other types of businesses on my own which are also need me to take care of, so I don't want to take too much time for this reselling business.

The Great Global Warming Swindle, Part 2
Yesterday I shared Part 1 of The Global Warming Swindle, a devastating rebuttal of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" propaganda.
he Global Warming Swindle was produced in 2007 by WAG TV, a top production company in Great Britain. It features a host of expert scientific testimony from many respected scientists which shows the theory of anthropogenic (man-made) global warming is full of hot air.
Part 2 begins by examining the "Little Ice Age" felt in the northern hemisphere about 200 years ago. The Thames River in London froze up so hard that people held "ice fairs" and other activities right on the frozen river.
Prior to that, temperatures during the Middle Ages were even warmer than they are today. It was warm enough for the Vikings to colonize Greenland and grow vineyards there.
The film also indicates that vineyards had been common in England. Having lived in England for three years during the late 1980s, I have seen first hand that England is really neither very warm nor very cold, so both the freezing of the Thames and warmth to grow vineyards are extremely out of the ordinary for modern times. Apparently climate can vary widely…and has done so…without the aid of human industrial activity.
Scientists say the earth was even warmer still–and for a longer period–during the Holocene age.
With regard to Twentieth Century warming, we see that the latest warming trend began before cars and modern industrial contributions came along, and most of the warming occurred before the post-World War II industrial boom.
CO2 production just doesn't line up well with global temperature change. Inconvenient, huh?
Professor Tim Ball of the Department of Climatology at the University of Winnipeg points out that greenhouse gases only make a up a small portion of the atmosphere, and CO2 is only a small portion of those greenhouse gasses. And natural sources contribute far more CO2 than do human sources.
According to Professor John Christy of the IPCC, temperature in the upper atmosphere doesn't match the expectations of the theory of anthropogenic global warming, either. According to the theory, it should be much higher than it actually is. Satellites and weather balloon data both tell us this.
Check Dakota Voice tomorrow for Part 3 in this compelling series.

Last year I found myself walking into a room to get something, then forgetting what I wanted to get as soon as I got into the room. Oh, so you say that happens to everyone? It doesn't happen to everyone all the time and it doesn't necessarily happen all of a sudden. The reality that forgetfulness is setting in didn't make me panic, but it did make me take note and make plans to take action. We're already downsizing everyday, but now I make notes or recordings of what I want to do and when I want it done. When I think of something that can be dealt with "later", I still write it down in the "later" column. Hub has been doing that for years and for all those years, I would laugh at him when he wrote the date, time and name of the store we just left, as well as what we bought. I don't laugh anymore.
So far, we've been getting rid of stuff in stages. If I'm not sure whether or not to toss it or keep it, I put it on probation and wait until the next go-round, which will probably be next month. Once we downsized, categorized and organized, that forgetful business began to dissipate, probably because I have much less clutter on my brain.
Then one day recently while writing notes to myself, the news came on and this is what I saw.
It was an extraordinary amount of stuff on the sidewalk in New York. Most people may know the story by now, but bottom line: two older men, one blind and the other with a mental deficiency, perhaps dementia, perhaps not, were roommates. They had so much stuff and some of it may have been valuable. I not only sprung into action when I saw that, I bought a file cabinet on wheels and put the essentials inside. If fire breaks out, our important stuff, all in one place, gets wheeled out with us.
I had so many thoughts while watching that tragic news story. The biggest thought was about all of the elderly people in this world with all of the stuff they accumulated over a lifetime and many of those seniors live in small quarters. Many of them live amongst their stuff. Where are the young people in their lives? What if they don't have any young people in their lives? (that they can trust). Somebody should have helped those men. Then again, a lot of people don't let others in to help them. Once folks retire, we start thinking….."What if we die and our ancestors don't know the history of our stuff, so they just toss it, donate it or let others take it?" Reality check: baby boomers need to live like college students and keep only the essentials plus a few things that bring a smile. In this photo, you can see stuff actually flying out of the windows of that New York apartment.
It shouldn't take The Hoarders on TV, Niecy Nash or anyone else that advocates downsizing. That disaster in New York should serve as the strongest yet message for every hoarder with fake, phony reasons for keeping stuff. The late comedienne, Joan Rivers was a very wealthy woman. When she died suddenly at a New York day clinic, her only daughter was left to deal with stuff, most sentimental and valuable. Listening to her speak during a recent interview, I got a lot of inspiration from Melissa Rivers. Through all the grief of losing her mother, she sprung into action selling stuff and property. She kept some sentimental things and settled down somewhere else. She may be the Dean of how to keep what's important, what you need and what allows you to move forward.
If it's valuable, it should be secured somewhere. If you don't know what to do with valuable stuff, research making money on it now. Otherwise, the money could be made by a random pedestrian, a firefighter, a neighbor or even a driver who finds a parking space and looks through your "stuff". Those guys in New York should never have gotten to the state in life where they felt that hopeless. They probably either thought life would last forever or they thought their relatives and friends would clean up the place and secure their stuff if they died. Neither happened because no one knows what tomorrow will bring.
Younger people with older relatives should stop and realize they will be old one day. Be nice to the elderly, help them to minimize if it's not done already and get rid of your own junk now so it never ends up under the boots of firefighters or as part of a helicopter video.

I am proud to say we have banked profits from selling our good stuff and we're just about to the point where we can walk away from everything else…if we want to. HGTV's series Tiny House has a promo during which a man says (in so many words): "It's not about how much stuff you have, it's about your quality of life." ©®

Here I am at approximately 1-1.5 years old trying to steal a mini, followed by me admiring this lovely red Porsche when I was 9 years old. I was probably drafting up a plan to steal it on that pad of paper there.
Don't even get started on the red socks, or why I had them pulled up like that. I had absolutely NO sense of style when I was a child. Unlike kids nowadays who panic if they don't get to wear what they want.
That mini was my mums. We were so dang funky. It made me draft up a list of cars that I have owned.
In 1997 I had to buy my mums Toyota Corolla off her because I wrote it off. It cost me NZ$3500. I got to sit next to it for one day as my car, but it sat on the car trailer the whole day, then went to the rubbish tip. It was a cool DX as well, mid 80s, in mint condition.
Same year 1997: bought my first Mini. It was just the round nose model. Was metallic blue, only went for about 2 months then died. I held onto it anyway, put it in the garage.
1997: I got my Nissan Sunny 1986 model. WOW. Gunmetal grey This car then got tuned at a performance car shop and went FAST. I owned that car until 2000.
1998: I bought a new Mini, it was a Mini Clubman. I kept both minis. The Mini Clubman went awesomely, and had widened rims and little fat tyres on it, this was grey.
1999: I got another round nose Mini, this was red. And another one which was yellow. I then took the lid off my blue one and turned it into a convertible, and then took it up the top of Norrie Grove and rammed it into a bank after doing some drifties. About a week later I got a Ford Escort from a mate for $50 and it had no petrol cap, so I drove it up to Tip Road and did some drag racing, and wrote it off, so I left it up there.
2000: I got rid of the red Mini. And got rid of my Mini Clubman. Kept the yellow one. Bought a green Holden, and painted it metallic purple. It had an OOSH engine, went like snot. It was an oldschool Holden Commodore, the classic mid 80s style. I painted it up, then trashed it for a few weeks. It didn't last. Thank God the entire time I had my Nissan Sunny as my reliable and road legal car Ditched the Holden.
2000: bought a new Nissan Sunny as the body on my one was no longer WOF-able. Got a new Nissan Sunny for $200 which didn't go, swapped my engine into it and huzzah, another year bought. At the end of 2000 it was getting kinda tired. Sold the Minis that was left.
So mid-2001: sold the Nissan, well, for free. Gave the Nissan to this hooker friend of mine and bought my Mazda Familia 1993 Interplay model. This was a great little car, went like snot – and my first nearly-brand-new car. It was only imported about 2 months before I bought it!
2005: 2 gear boxes and engines later I sold the Mazda Familia, and purchased my Subaru Impreza. Yay, Impreza ftw.
You can see the car I love most. The classic Minis are just PHAT! I really wouldn't mind getting another one.

Turkey is a food paradise (and I challenge anyone who says otherwise!). In all my visits to this food wonderland, I have managed to taste food from different regions (which vary a lot) – while not having photographed all. I can safely say I have a few personal favourites (I will throw in the baklava though I don't fancy sweet dishes) that are strictly "meat based" – and Adana kebabs top that list.
Tea is a very popular beverage and is available in many flavours (Iranian market is a great place to buy tea) – the most popular of them all being apple tea. I have had a fair share of tea (mostly free tea) and vouch for apple tea, especially appreciated on a cold winter morning!
This savoury pastry can be found in many varieties – most popular one being meat, spinach or cheese. You will find them rolled or puffed or even layered (like lasagna) and is easily an anytime snack. Borek and its many variations have found its way into several neighbouring countries, especially those which were under Ottoman rule at one time or the other.

Description: Blushing blonde Trillium shows off small, natural tits and an oiled ass in a mini-skirt and stilettos. Muscular, tattooed Kurt Lockwood teaches her wrestling moves and she puts a leg lock on his neck. With spit for lube, Trillium suck-strokes his cock and fingers his asshole; she tongues his bunghole with deep, dirty dedication. Trillium straps on a black dildo and Kurt coaches her to fuck his face. With his leg up on her shoulder, she porks his ass as she jacks his joint. He beats off as she plows him doggie-style. Kurt gets to fuck, choke and rim the blonde. Mostly, he loves impaling his asshole on her prick as she calls him 'a dirty little slut.' Fucking him hard, she jacks out his jism and feeds him the juice. They share cum kisses.

Towards brighter hybrid magnetic-luminescent nanoparticles: luminosity dependence on excited state properties of embedded dyes

|A series of hybrid, magnetic, and luminescent silica nanoparticles (SNP) have been synthesized and their photophysical properties characterized. The nanoparticles contain, on average, one iron oxide nanoparticle as a magnetic core. The embedded dyes include fluorescein, Alexa Fluor 546, tetramethylrhodamine (TMR), and 4,4-difluoro-5-(2-pyrrolyl)-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (Bodipy), which are known to have a singlet excited state, and 5-(dimethylamino)naphthalene-1-sulfonyl (dansyl), 7-(diethylamino)coumarin-3-carboxy (coumarin), and tris(bipyridine)ruthenium(II) dichloride (Rubipy) derivatives, which have a charge transfer excited state. In general, the photophysical properties of the magnetic-core dye-doped silica nanoparticles, SNPdye, where dye is one of the seven dyes studied in this project, are dictated by homogeneous energy transfer between dye molecules and by dye aggregation. Molecules with a small Stokes shift and affinity for aggregation upon silica encapsulation (TMR and Bodipy derivatives) can be only sparsely loaded (<50–60 molecules per a 60 nm in diameter nanoparticle) into the nanoparticle matrix before strong fluorescence quenching takes effect. These dyes yield the least bright nanoparticles whose luminosity strongly decreases as the intraparticle dye concentration increases above the rather low maximum brightness loading. Other common fluorophores (Alexa Fluor 546 and fluorescein) can be loaded into the silica matrix with little to no fluorescence quenching until the intermolecular separation becomes less than 5 nm (100–200 fluorophores per a 60 nm in diameter nanoparticle). Finally, significantly more (1200–4600) dye molecules with a charge transfer lowest excited state and large Stokes shift (Rubipy, dansyl, coumarin) can be loaded into the 60 nm in dameter nanoparticle with no indication of luminescence quenching. The results of this study suggest that the luminosity of a hybrid nanoparticle is highest when the embedded dye has a large Stokes shift and is not susceptible to aggregation, which both guarantee no or little intrananoparticle luminescence quenching. No luminescence quenching by the iron oxide magnetic core has been observed for any SNPdye series.
