Dang, an F for Snitchin? Who's teaching that class?ReplyDelete
Chin Checking?
ah yes, that had me too, it turns out that it means 'sucker punching'.ReplyDelete
Now that's the difference between nurses and ganstas. Nurses LOVE to snitch. Nurses will snitch to anybody about anything. Now that's bad if you do something that you don't want the whole nurses' station (hell, the whole ER) to know about. But if somebody busts a cap in yo' ass, there will be 15 people at any given time ready to tell the cops who is to blame.ReplyDelete
monkey girl. you better remain anonymous or you might get a cap busted in YOU. snitchin', in my ED, gets you 125 of succ. in the glut after we get you good and drunk on an etoh iv then we dump you in the bushes near a bar. cause of death, aspiration after too much alcohol. so sad, but that's what happens to snitches.ReplyDelete
If you didn't make me laugh so hard I pee my pants, you'd scare me so bad I'd pee my pants. Either way, wet pants. I appear to have gotten myself into a no-win situation. ;-)ReplyDelete
I am so down with that shirt. It reminds me of my time in the pen, spending days rollin' bones and talking about poppin caps, and bouncing along on my 24s. Ah, the good old days.ReplyDelete

This dude's shirt's almost as cute as those tops certain parents put on their little girls that read "Junior Slut in Training."ReplyDelete
What a freaking sad commentary on today's 'yout.' For once, words fail me.ReplyDelete
Snitches get stitches, yo!ReplyDelete

These Terms and Conditions incorporate the Live Performance Australia Ticketing Code of Practice – Consumer Code (LPA Code), which sets out a code of conduct for the sale of tickets to live events, including consumer rights. The LPA Code is available online here or you may ask QTIX for a copy. 5. Your ticket may be subject to additional booking terms, which will be notified to you prior to purchase. For example: a. school and other group tickets may be subject to additional conditions of sale and entry; b. admission and attendance at events and festivals designed for children may be subject to additional conditions of sale and entry; and c. if your ticket is to a timed ticketed exhibition, your ticket will only be valid for your nominated session time.

Tickets will not be exchanged or refunded as a result of these changes, except as provided for in the LPA Code or as required by law (including the Australian Consumer Law). 24. If an event is cancelled, rescheduled or significantly relocated and provided QTIX receives authorisation from the Presenter, QTIX will attempt to notify ticket holders of the cancellation, rescheduling or relocation. However, QTIX does not guarantee that ticket holders will be informed of such cancellation, rescheduling or relocation prior to the event. You may be entitled at law (including the Australian Consumer Law) or under the LPA Code to a refund where an event is cancelled, rescheduled or significantly relocated. 25. To the extent permitted by law (including the Australian Consumer Law), neither QTIX nor the Presenter will reimburse you for auxiliary expenses (such as the cost of travel, car-parking, child-care and accommodation) or other consequential loss suffered by you in connection with your attendance or non-attendance at an event.

QTIX recommends that you obtain ticket and/or travel insurance.
33. By purchasing a ticket through QTIX, you consent to the collection, use, disclosure and handling of your personal information as detailed in QTIX's privacy policy available here. 34.

Avispa Country Club serves as both a privately maintained golf course and a district of San Fierro, San Andreas in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
It is located at the southern tip of the city, abutting Missionary Hill. To the north are Ocean Flats, Hashbury, and Garcia; to the east is Foster Valley; and to the south is Mount Chiliad.
While the golf course is located on the northern slopes of Missionary Hill, the country club's main building is located on the shoreline, directly south of Ocean Flats. There are also 4 tennis courts in front of the main building.
CJ's girlfriend, Katie Zhan, can be found exercising on Avispa Country Club's greens when not at the dojo.
The building's location (next to the highway entering the city), its proximity to the ocean, and its general design are highly reminiscent of Adolf Sutro's 1896 Victorian version of the Cliff House restaurant in San Francisco's Ocean Beach, which burned down in 1907. The golf course could be based on the Olympic Country Club in San Francisco, while the main building's design seems to be inspired from the Claremont Resort in Oakland. The location of the golf course itself is comparable to that of the golf courses surrounding Lake Merced.
- Chainsaw - In the tennis courts.
- Camera and Golf Club - In front of the main entrance of the main building.
- Satchel Charges - Behind the main building.
Stationary Vehicles
- Caddy (spawns riding around the golf course)
- Comet (only when wanted for export)
- Assorted vehicles in the car park
- Camera - In front of the main entrance
- Police Bribe - In the tunnel leading to Doherty and Foster Valley
- Two snapshots (photograph the main building and tennis courts)
- "Avispa" means wasp in Spanish. This is most likely a play on the acronym "WASP", meaning "White Anglo-Saxon Protestant", a section of American society who are disproportionately represented in most Country Clubs.

2014 Medal of Honor Bowl
2014 Senior Bowl
With his Liberty playing days behind him, Walt Aikens is preparing for a potential professional playing career after receiving invitations to play in two scout bowl games in January.
Aikens will have the chance to showcase his abilities in front of professional scouts at this Saturday's inaugural Medal of Honor Bowl and later this month at the Senior Bowl.
The Medal of Honor Bowl will be played at Johnson Hagood Stadium on the campus of The Citadel in Charleston, S.C. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m.
Aikens is a member of the American Roster, which will be under the direction of former Maryland Head Coach Ralph Friedgen. While at Maryland, Friedgen was named ACC Coach of the Year twice and led the Terripans to the ACC title in 2001.
The Medal of Honor Bowl National team is coached by Chan Gailey, who has head coaching experience at both the NFL (Buffalo Bills and Dallas Cowboys) and college (Georgia Tech, Samford and Troy State) levels. Later this month, Aikens will take part in the famed Senior Bowl, which will be played at Ladd Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Ala., on Jan. 25 (4 p.m. EST). The practice sessions and the contest will be broadcast on the NFL Network.
The Senior Bowl, started in 1950, has had some of the NFL's best players included on its rosters. Over 500 former Senior Bowl participants are currently on NFL rosters.
Coaching staffs from the Atlanta Falcons (Mike Smith, head coach) and the Jacksonville Jaguars (Gus Bradley, head coach) will coach the two teams.
Aikens is the fourth Flame in program history to receive an invitation to participate in the Senior Bowl, joining Wayne Haddix (1987), Eric Green (1990) and Rashad Jennings (2009).
Each of the previous three players went on to have NFL careers. Haddix played four seasons in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals, New York Giants and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1987-91).
Green's 10 seasons in the league with the Baltimore Ravens, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets and the Pittsburgh Steelers (1990-99) were spotlighted by a pair of Pro Bowl selections (1993 and 1994).
Jennings recently completed his fifth season in the NFL (2009-13) and his first with the Oakland Raiders. Jennings was named Raiders.com Co-Offensive Player of the Year after rushing for a career-best 733 yards and six touchdowns in 2013.
Aikens is a three-time Big South all-conference honoree, taking first-team honors in 2013 and second-team accolades in 2011 and 2012.
Aikens tied for the team lead in 2013 with 62 tackles. He led the Flames and ranked third in the Big South with 50 solo tackles. He helped Liberty rank No. 5 in the country in interceptions (19), individually recording three interceptions to give him seven for his career.

Another polar vortex? Not quite, but 2nd cold spell to envelop US from Dakotas to New England
MILWAUKEE (AP) � The polar vortex that gripped much of the country is gone, but don't get too comfortable � another round of frigid air is expected to arrive next week across the northern U.S., from the Dakotas eastward to New England.
It'll be cold, but not the life-threatening cold of last week, when subzero temperatures enveloped much of the country and contributed to at least a dozen deaths.
Bob McMahon of the National Weather Service says temperatures will start falling over the weekend into Monday. He says highs in parts of the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan will be in the single digits above or below zero.
The cold air will then move eastward into New England, where temperatures will be about 10 degrees cooler than normal through next weekend.

Cookie Cutters: Not Just For Cookies Anymore! Post # 29: Felt Christmas Cookies
Felt Christmas Cookies
Today in my Craft Gossip newsletter I found a great site by Kristen – Make the best of everything! Love, love, love her great ideas and crafts. Of course you know that I am absolutely barmy about ANYTHING to do with cut-out cookies so Kristen's craft that appealed to me most is her Felt Christmas Cookies project and I just have to share it with you!
Kristen cuts her felt items free-hand and hand sews them. But you could easily use large cookie cutters to make a pattern and machine stich them.
She does not give a tutorial but these would be easy to do.
- Make patterns from newspaper with large cookie cutters.
- Make a "sandwich" with two pieces of felt and several layers of quilt batting.
- Pin the pattern to the "sandwich".
- Cut out.
- Open the "sandwich" and trim the quilt batting about one inch around the edges. Replace it in the "sandwich".
- Hand or machine stich around the edges.
- Glue or stich on felt decorations.
One of the commenters suggests "make our own set of cookies that Santa just may hide instead of eat." This is a wonderful idea and you could make a new cookie (per child) to add to the set each year. Embroider the date and child's names on the back of the cookie.
Take the time to look at her other felt play sets – her pizzeria one is amazing!
Thanks so much for stopping by. As always I'd love to hear from you. Please take the time to visit Kristen's site and let her know how much you like her craft projects.

Volvo's unforgettable Jean-Claude Van Damme advertisement in November, which featured the '80s action star doing splits in-between two moving trucks, has inspired a plethora of spoofs, but Hungarian production company Delov Digital took their parody to the digital skies.
The video features a virtual version of legendary tough guy Chuck Norris doing his own split in-between two United States Air Force jets. As the camera begins to widen, we see the "Walker: Texas Ranger" star balancing ten men- on his head. Like the Volvo ad, the spoof features Enya's "Only Time," but instead of Norris speaking, a narrator recites equally epic lines from "Hamlet."
"Some say that ever 'gainst that season comes wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated, this bird of dawning singeth all night long; and then, they say, no spirit dare stir abroad, the nights are wholesome, then no planets strike, no fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm, so hallow'd and so gracious is the time," the narrator says.
U.S. & World
As the camera pans out more, similarly to the Volvo ad, the men are seen stacked in the shape of a Christmas tree, with different color lights either in their hands or on their bodies. The end result is a more colorful and slightly more "epic" split than Mr. Van Damme's.

After half-heartedly flipping back and forth between the Home Run Derby and doing some lingering DVR maintenance — new, kind of depressing "Chappelle's Show," the "Law & Order" where they see the guy executed and then everyone all loses their minds — we can say one thing about the big made for TV dinger-fest: Baseball players are not used to drying themselves off. Every time we looked, one major leaguer was wiping down another major leaguer.
In this picture, it's Robinson Cano cooling off eventual derby champ Ryan Howard, but it really was anyone within a towel's length. Don't believe us? Here's David Ortiz taking care of David Wright, some guy cooling off Ortiz and Cano doubling up on Howard. In lieu of all this apparent heat, it's kind of amazing Charlie Weis survived the evening.
As for the contest itself ... eh. As always, it was a droning series of home runs and Berman Bluster and athletes just hanging out, yo, only this time with the added bonus of Joe Morgan and John Kruk pretending, about 100 times, to be amazed that baseballs were coming toward the "Baseball Tonight" booth in center field. It's baseball excess, and we were reminded once again that, typically, our favorite day of the All-Star Break is Wednesday, the day they don't do anything at all.

AMC has quite the batting average in their original programming infancy. Just today, "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad" were both nominated for Best Drama at the 2010 Emmy awards. And that's only the beginning. The channel has a political thriller ("Rubicon"), a horror series ("Walking Dead"), and a murder drama ("The Killing") all in development. And now comes word that the channel will also try its hand at a Western, that oh-so-fickle genre. Nellie Andreeva of Deadline has the details on Hell on Wheels, a drama about the Transcontinental railroad:
Hell on Wheels is set in the 1860s and centers on former confederate soldier Cullen Bohannan, whose quest for vengeance has led him to the Union Pacific Railroad's westward construction of the first Transcontinental Railroad. "Hell on Wheels brilliantly captures the world surrounding the construction of the first Transcontinental Railroad in post civil war America," said Joel Stillerman, AMC's SVP of original programming. "The epic setting provides the perfect backdrop for the early industrialism and corruption surrounding the project; the incredible immigrant experience; and the good, the bad, and the ugly of what it took to get this railroad built."
If you see traces of "There Will Be Blood" in that description, it probably isn't a coincidence. AMC has thus far made its bones by presenting two dramas that are extremely adult in nature, and nothing on their upcoming roster suggests they plan on deviating from that strategy. Thank goodness for that. I don't need an AMC comedy. I don't need an AMC show for teens. I need more AMC shows that are brutally serious and feature the occasional basement murder. That's good stuff.
HBO has already done their version of a Western with "Deadwood," but it sounds to me like "Hell on Wheels" will forgo horses and Annie Oakley for something a bit less rambunctious. Given their track record, I wouldn't bet against AMC succeeding.

Trexall is the brand name of methotrexate sodium, a drug prescribed to treat psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis.
It can also treat neoplastic diseases, or diseases that result from the abnormal growth of tissue, such as gestational choriocarcinoma, chorioadenoma destruens, and hydatidiform mole.
Trexall is also used to treat various types of cancer, including breast cancer and lung cancer, when used alone or in combination with other anticancer medications.
When used in combination with chemotherapeutic agents, it can help treat advanced stage non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
Trexall belongs to a class of drugs called antimetabolites, which work by slowing the growth of certain types of cells, especially rapidly growing cells, such as skin cells, bone marrow cells, and cancer cells.
It's not clear how Trexall treats rheumatoid arthritis, but it's believed the drug decreases the activity of the immune system.
Trexall may also be prescribed "off-label" to induce miscarriage in ectopic pregnancies (those that occur outside the uterus), and treat some autoimmune or inflammatory diseases, including Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, lupus, and dermatomyositis.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Trexall in 2001. Trexall is currently manufactured by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, which acquired the drug's original manufacturer, Barr Pharmaceuticals, in 2008.
Sandoz, a subdivision of the Novartis pharmaceutical company, produces an injectable, generic form of Trexall.
In 2013, Sandoz issued a nationwide recall of two lots of its methotrexate sodium drugs when particulate matter was found in some of the vials.
Trexall carries a black-box warning that it should be used only by people with life-threatening neoplastic diseases, psoriasis, or rheumatoid arthritis that hasn't responded well to other treatments, because the drug can produce numerous potentially fatal reactions.
Using Trexall with certain non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can cause severe and sometimes fatal bone marrow suppression, aplastic anemia (in which the body stops making new blood cells), and gastrointestinal toxicity.
When used along with radiotherapy, Trexall may increase the risk of cell death in soft tissues and bones.
People with kidney problems, ascites (fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity), or pleural effusions (excess fluid in the lungs) may experience methotrexate toxicity, because they're unable to efficiently clear Trexall from their bodies.
Prolonged use of Trexall may cause liver damage, including cirrhosis (irreversible scarring of the liver), which may be fatal. High doses of Trexall can also damage the kidneys and cause acute kidney failure.
Trexall is known to produce toxic and sometimes fatal reactions in gastrointestinal, blood, neurologic, pulmonary, and dermatologic systems. For instance, it can cause seizures, Stevens-Johnson syndrome (a rare yet severe disorder of the skin and mucous membranes), and methotrexate-induced lung disease.
It may also cause potentially fatal infections to develop, particularly Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia.
In rare cases, people taking low doses of Trexall may develop tumors in the lymph system (malignant lymphomas), which may regress after the medication is stopped.
People taking Trexall who have rapidly growing tumors may develop tumor lysis syndrome, a condition in which tumor cells release their contents into the bloodstream, causing heart rhythm problems, seizures, even death.
Additionally, people with psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis may not be candidates for Trexall if they:
Trexall can harm (and kill) fetuses or cause birth defects. Methotrexate is sometimes prescribed to induce an abortion.
Trexall also passes through breast milk and has the potential for to produce serious reactions in breast-fed infants, so it should not be taken by breastfeeding mothers.
The most common side effects of Trexall include:
A host of rare side effects have also been reported, but it's not clear if they resulted from taking Trexall, other medications, or the underlying disease.
Such side effects can include:
Trexall may interact with:
Tell your doctor about any other medications, drugs (prescription or nonprescription), herbal remedies, and supplements you're taking.
Drinking alcohol while taking Trexall increases your risk of developing liver toxicity, including cirrhosis.
Taking Trexall if you have a deficiency in folic acid may increase the risk of methotrexate toxicity.
Trexall comes as oval-shaped, film-coated tablets in the following dosages:
Dosage depends on the disease being treated.
Trexall can be taken with or without food at any time of the day (as long as you are consistent and stick to a set time).
While taking Trexall, avoid sunlight or artificial ultraviolet rays, such as from sunlamps or tanning beds, especially if you have psoriasis.
Symptoms of an overdose can include:
Call poison control center or visit the nearest emergency room if you overdose. Call 911 if someone else has collapsed or isn't breathing from a possible Trexall overdose.
Take your missed dose as soon you remember; skip it if it's almost time for your next dose.

Found something interesting on page 14-15.
Battle Figure game.. They have a secret character..
hmmm, I wonder what this could be? Another jedi? Another dark jedi? Sifo Dyas?
Looking at the outline of the picture, it looks a lot like an adult Boba Fett..
Anyway, if anything the catalog has some great pictures.

Family of blind Chinese activist still faces harassment
- Embarrassed by activist%27s%2C authorities are taking revenge
- U.S. State Department calls Chinese legal system a %22deeply flawed legal process%22
- The family is hopeful that new leadership will bring change
BEIJING — Chen Fubin, 5, is always working on a plan to free his father, Chen Kegui, from a Chinese prison.
"He says, 'I'm going to learn 10 types of kung fu then go bust Daddy out of jail'," Fubin's mother Liu Fang said.
Chen Kegui is the nephew of Chen Guangcheng, the blind legal activist who made headlines worldwide in April when he got inside the U.S. Embassy in Beijing. Chen sparked a month-long diplomatic tussle that ended in his moving to the United States with his wife and children.
Embarrassed by the escape, Communist Party authorities are taking revenge against Chen's nephew, say his supporters.
In what the U.S. State Department called a "deeply flawed legal process," Chen was sentenced in November to three years and three months in prison for "intentional wounding" of government officials who forced their way into his home in search of his uncle.
Liu had been denied access to Chen Kegui for nine months following his arrest in the April incident and Chen's lawyer Sing Xikui was prevented from meeting with him or representing him at trial. She recently received an official notice permitting three visitors on Jan. 31 to Linyi prison, the same facility where his uncle was once held.
Earlier this month, Liu and her father-in-law Chen Guangfu, older brother of Chen Guangcheng, left their village in eastern Shandong province for a seminar in Beijing to discuss perceived legal problems in Chen Kegui's case.
"Several lawyers and scholars were kept at home by police that day so it couldn't take place," Chen Guangfu said. "The public security authorities in Shandong don't have the authority to stop it, so this shows the desire for revenge goes right up to the central government level."
The trial was "a judicial farce," while the "number of procedural violations that marred his prosecution surely match those that marked the 2006 proceedings in the same court against his now famous uncle," wrote Jerome Cohen, an expert on Chinese law at the New York University School of Law.
In 2006, Chen Guangcheng was sentenced to four years and three months for supposedly damaging state property. Blind from a young age, Chen earned the ire of authorities for speaking out against unfair taxes and forced abortions in his province. Released in 2010, he was kept under house arrest until his escape to the U.S. Embassy.
After authorities discovered Chen Guangcheng had fled, multiple government officials and police jumped over the wall into Chen Kegui's family home. There they used wooden clubs to beat family members and destroy furniture, Chen Guangfu said.
"Why couldn't he take up a knife to protect himself and his family," says Chen of his son, who was jailed for wounding three people. "If you are the police, why can't you use legal means to investigate an issue?"
In Chen's home village of Dongshigu, the thugs who harassed the family and kept visitors away are long gone, says Chen Guangfu. Gone also are the surveillance cameras trained on Chen Guangcheng's home now that he is living in New York with his family studying law.
The family is hopeful that the new leader of China's Communist Party, Xi Jinping, means what he says when speaking of the importance of the rule of law.
"This new generation has a reformist attitude, so I must have some hope, but there has been no change in their methods, or anything connected to Chen Guangcheng's case," Chen Guangfu said.
"They are too busy to get involved," explains lawyer Ding.
Liu Fang has struggled to find regular work after her husband's detention ended their small business making rain covers for trucks. She relies on friends for money and to cover the appeal of her husband's conviction.
"Every day apart breaks my heart a little more" Liu said.
Her son Chen Fubin misses his dad, grandfather Chen Guangfu said.
"He keeps asking 'when will daddy come home? What people took daddy away? Why did they beat grandma?' " Chen Guangfu said. "I can only answer, 'Daddy will be back soon.' "

The List of Qualities My Future Writing Career Will Have
15 comments:
- Kristin Rae said...
I think we all have lists, so you're not alone!
A big one on my list is to get an agent, since I'm still querying. :) But once I manage to turn the head of one of those, I'd LOVE to be in print print, on the bookshelf at a bookstore. And to have a book launch party at the indie bookstore in town. Sigh. A girl can dream!
- July 20, 2012 at 10:42 AM
- E.B. Black said...
My list only has one entry: I'd like to be able to make a living off of my writing. Whether it be self-published or traditional, e-books or physical, I don't care. I just want to be able to make a living doing what I love.
- July 20, 2012 at 12:08 PM
- Julie DeGuia said...
I would say your list and mine are similar. I feel the same way about publishers and holding an actual book and flipping the pages.
The book I am writing will (if it gets that far) have some pictures so an illustrator that I love is on top of my list as well.
- July 20, 2012 at 1:32 PM
- Beth Hull said...
My list looks a lot like yours. I'd also add E.B.'s list, though - I want to make a living from it. Someday. Eventually.
It's all part of the dream, right?
- July 20, 2012 at 1:36 PM
- E.D. said...
That is a good list and a great analogy :-)
- July 20, 2012 at 2:41 PM
- Mina Lobo said...
Right now I feel I'd simply enjoy being able to earn a comfortable living from my writing and have a wonderful space in which to do it. Millions of adoring fans would be pretty groovy, too. :-)

My number one is to have a movie made of my novel. With my input, of course. But really I'd take any on your list and everyone else's.
- July 20, 2012 at 6:26 PM
- Beth Christopher said...
Love your list! Mine is similar. I'd love to do a reading at the Tattered Cover, an independently owned AMAZING bookstore in Denver. Dreamy!
- July 20, 2012 at 8:58 PM
- katherineamabel said...
Haha I had a similar list only it detailed principles I'd uphold when I became Prime Minister! As for writing goals, I've always had so much respect for the set texts in my higher school certificate English classes that I'd love my work to be selected. Nerd heaven!

Like my list of Qualities in a Husband, my list of Qualities in a Writing Career have changed with time. My initial Qualities in a Husband List (forgive me, it was long ago) was: Smart. Funny. Tall. Handsome. Well edicuated. Great skier. Gainfully- and preferably self-employed. Australian or New Zealand accent a plus. Must like dogs.
My initial Qualities in a Writing Career was: Must have contract within the next six months. Must make decent living writing for children.
Ten years later, the New and Improved Qualities in a Husband List read like this: Kind. Heterosexual. Good listener. Smart. Funny. Gainfully employed. Not a sociopath. Preferably not a convicted felon. Good grammar a plus. Must like cats.
And the New and Improved Qualities in a Writing Career List became: I will get an agent for my novel. I will finish my novel (again). I will have a blog.
I can say at last that I can check everything off the New and Improved Husband List. Let me tell you, No small feat. As far as the New and Improved Writing Career list...well, I've got the blog.
- July 21, 2012 at 9:29 AM
- Krista Van Dolzer said...
Kristin, up until a few months ago, getting an agent was a big one on my list, too. You'll get there, hopefully with your current project.
That's a great goal, E.B. I've been really lucky in that I haven't had to rely on my career to pay the bills, but if I did, I'd certainly want that career to be a writing one.
Good point, Julie. Illustrators can make or break your book, so good luck with that.
It is all part of the dream, Beth. In fact, I almost titled this post "My Dream." :)
Thanks, E.D.!
But we're not greedy, right, Mina? We'd take thousands of adoring fans, too:)
Way to aim high, Jen! To be honest, the thought of having my books made into movies still kind of scares me. I'd just be so afraid it wouldn't match my vision!
Other Beth, I've heard all about the Tattered Cover:) Great goal.
Katherine, your comment made me smile:) I hope you get there someday. What a unique, interesting goal.
Betsy, thanks for sharing your lists! You bring up a great point--our lists will change over time. It will be interesting to revisit this list in five or ten years and see what I've accomplished and what I would add/change.

- Kimberly said...
I cracked up at your future husband list. I had one of those too.
I like your future writing career list, it's similar to mine. For myself I'd add finding an agent that loves my work and style and writing full time. :)
- July 21, 2012 at 6:33 PM
- Krista Van Dolzer said...
Kimberly, good luck with that agent hunt. I'm living proof that anyone can land an agent, even if it takes you four-plus years to do so:)
- July 24, 2012 at 9:28 AM
I totally did one of those future husband lists, too. This is making me wonder if I have still have it around somewhere. Must go hunting.
I'm with you on the whole having one of my books appear in print and being able to find it in a bookstore or library. That would be amazing.

Marella Discovery
There are seven dining spots to choose from, including a main restaurant spread over two storeys, and two speciality restaurants – which showcase spectacular views from a setting on the top floor. For afternoon tea and after-dinner cocktails, meanwhile, you'll have seven bars and lounges to dip in and out of.
Surf & Turf Steakhouse
As its name suggests, this speciality restaurant majors in the likes of marbled steaks and meaty lobster tails. You've also got other meat and fish options, as well as plenty to satisfy a vegetarian palate. This is one of the ship's speciality restaurants, so there's a charge to dine here – plus, we recommend you make a reservation in advance.
Available on:
Sushi Bar
Spicy tuna rolls, salmon sashimi and seabass nigiri are all on the menu at this sushi bar, which is tucked inside Kora La. Plus, you can wash it down with beers from all over Asia – think Tiger and Singha. This is one of the ship's speciality restaurants, so there's a charge to dine here – plus, we recommend you make a reservation in advance.
Available on:
Kora La
Our signature pan-Asian speciality restaurant makes an appearance onboard Marella Discovery. You'll find dishes created by renowned chef Ian Pengelley such as his duck and watermelon salad. The menu covers off south and east Asia, featuring dishes like Indian spiced king prawns, and Indonesian beef rendang curry. This is one of the ship's speciality restaurants, so there's a charge to dine here – plus, we recommend you make a reservation in advance.
Available on:
Big buffet spreads are laid out in this restaurant, with show-cooking stations on-hand to offer things like breakfast omelettes, and carvery roasts in the evening. You can grab snacks in between meals, too.
Available on:
Squid & Anchor
If you're craving a taste of home, our pub at sea should do the trick. It's a modern take on a typical british boozer and, as such you can expect entertainment like pub quizzes and game shows.
Available on:
Snack Shack
Festival food stalls and iconic British beach huts provided the inspiration for this grab 'n' go eatery. This means you can expect to pick up things like bacon butties for breakfast, and sweet chilli chicken wings, mezze salads and focaccia sandwiches in the afternoon.
Available on:
Marella Discovery's main eatery is a big, stylish venue, finished in the colours of the sand and the sea. Daytime meals here come with a side-order of sea views, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, and a grand double staircase leads up to a separate eatery.
Available on:
Gallery 47°
You'll find this trendy Italian restaurant on the second floor of the ship's main dining room, 47°. It's a laid-back place, where bookings aren't necessary, and its designer look features a colour scheme inspired by the sunset.
Available on:
The Glass House
This place has a split personality, but for all the right reasons. By day, it deals in deli-style light bites and freshly-squeezed juices. Come sundown, the venue turns into casual restaurant with a tapas-style menu. Plus, you can cook your own steaks on hot stones, for an extra charge.

Gustafsson & Sjögren Ice Damascus Steel Dial Watch
Swedish watch makers Gustafsson & Sjögren present their newest timepiece called Ice, probably the most refined watch in their line up. As a pair, Johan Gustafsson and Patrik Sjögren excel at complex metallurgy and the creation of sophisticated styles of Damascus steel unique to their shop.
Gustafsson & Sjögren have been making watches for a few years, likely a decision made after being asked to supply parts for other watch makers interested in their skills. Both are Swedish - Gustafsson is a well know bladesmith (where use of Damascus steel is common), and Sjögren, among other things, is a certified watch maker.
Ice uses the special hand made Damascus steel in a few key ways, including for the dial and crown. Ice uses an manually wound ETA 6498-1 movement. Though, on other Gustafsson & Sjögren watches I believe that Damascus steel is also used on automatic movement rotors in applicable timepieces. Given then nature of how Damascus steel is made, no two pieces are the same. This means that each dial for Ice will be totally unique giving each piece an individual character.
The ETA 6498 movement is actually a pocket watch movement that has here been modified and decorated by Soprod and done in chronometer grade quality. It features a subsidiary seconds dial that on the Ice watch takes the shape of a three-curved blade style icon that is used on other Gustafsson & Sjögren timepieces - a good little touch of character.
At first glance the attractive but simple looking 44mm wide steel case may look a bit bare. Gustafsson & Sjögren call the look "simple" with the idea being that your attention should focus on the Damascus steel elements of the watch. The dauphine hands are nicely cut with a slice going through the middle of each. Hour indicators are each applied diamond jewels in white gold settings. The dial is covered with a sapphire crystal, while the caseback exhibition window has a mineral crystal. You'll find another diamond set into the end of the crown.
Gustafsson & Sjögren chose to pair the watch to a mesh steel bracelet which accentuates the look of the watch, though it would look equally nice with a variety of bracelet or straps that the owners can easily attach. The simply styled Swedish watch gives you the thrilling look of Damascus steel, popular among many including most collectible blade lovers. Price for the Gustafsson & Sjögren Ice watch will be about $8,000 and it will be made in strictly limited quantities.

Trench on Mars Ready for Next Sampling by NASA Lander
TUCSON, Ariz. -- NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander has groomed the bottom of a shallow trench to prepare for collecting a sample to be analyzed from a hard subsurface layer where the soil may contain frozen water.
Images received Thursday morning confirmed that the lander's robotic arm had scraped the top of the hard layer clean during activities of Phoenix's 58th Martian day, or sol, corresponding to overnight Wednesday to Thursday.
The Phoenix team developed commands for sending to the spacecraft Thursday to complete two remaining preparations necessary before collecting a sample and delivering it to the lander's Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer (TEGA). One part of the plan for Sol 59 (overnight Thursday to Friday) would assure that the scoop is empty of any soil collected earlier. Another would complete a final cleaning of any volatile materials from the oven that will receive the sample.
In the past two weeks, the team has refined techniques for using a powered rasp on the back of the arm's scoop to cut and collect shavings of material from the bottom of the trench. The trench, informally named "Snow White," is 4 to 5 centimeters deep (about 2 inches), about 23 centimeters wide (9 inches), and about 60 centimeters long (24 inches) long.
"The rasped material ends up in the back of the scoop, and we have to transfer it to the front through a pathway. That takes a series of arm moves to be sure the material gets through the pathway," said Robert Bonitz of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., manager for the robotic arm. "The reason we're doing it today is we want to be sure the pathway is free of any material collected previously before we collect the next sample for delivery to TEGA."
The planned activity would repeat the series of pathway-clearing moves twice, and check visually to be sure the front of the scoop is empty. It is also important to get the background counts as low as possible in TEGA's evolved-gas analyzer, which receives vapors emitted from the oven. The instrument was heated repeatedly before launch and during the flight to Mars to drive off any volatile material in it, such as water and carbon-dioxide gases that tend to stick on surfaces. It got another heating on Sol 58.
"The baking last night was to remove background volatiles stuck on the walls of the instrument," said William Boynton of the University of Arizona, Tucson, lead scientist for TEGA. "What we're planning today is pumping out any gas we might have released with the baking."
Other activities in the plan for the sol beginning today include weather monitoring and photography of several areas. Some planned use of the Surface Stereo Imager would record the same view consecutively through 15 different filters. Each filter lets through only a limited band of wavelengths of visible or infrared light. Using just red, green and blue filters allows the team to make full-color images. Using the additional filters provides more information useful for interpreting geological or atmospheric qualities of the image target.
The Phoenix mission is led by Peter Smith of the University of Arizona with project management at JPL and development partnership at Lockheed Martin, Denver. International contributions come from the Canadian Space Agency; the University of Neuchatel; the universities of Copenhagen and Aarhus, Denmark; Max Planck Institute, Germany; and the Finnish Meteorological Institute.

By the time Memorial Day weekend rolled around, our Concert in the Park group was eager to take on the first culinary challenge of the summer. The May issue of Saveur featured a wonderful article by David McAninch called Pleasure Island and Saveur.com then put together An Evening in Corsica theme dinner party menu with recipes from the issue. Thank you, Saveur, for providing the inspiration to kick off our 5th summer of There's a Newf in My Soup Concert in the Park picnics!
"The mountainous island of Corsica is home to a cuisine that's equal parts Alpine, Mediterranean, French and Italian—and all its own... this menu features the kind of sturdy, flavorful food that's typical there: cannelloni and swiss chard dumplings, a rustic lemon-scented cheesecake, and more, all paired with our favorite Corsican wines." The Dinner Party: An Evening in Corsica

"Gale-force winds had made for a memorable overnight ferry-crossing from Genoa, but my discomfort was a small price to pay for a morning so clear that Provence seemed little more than a few valleys away. As I turned slowly to the east, the Mediterranean and France faded from view, replaced by the Tyrrhenian Sea, the island of Elba, and the coast of Italy." - George Semler, Corsica: Wild France
Unfortunately, the Coronado Community Concert Band was unable to play any of the selections from Saveur's Corsica playlist, but once the food starts circulating and bottles of wine are uncorked, the music is inevitably lost in the oohs and aahs and lively conversations.
John tingled our taste buds and triggered the oohs and aahs of the evening with an amuse bouche of Corsican Deviled Eggs.
Deviled eggs appeared in The Saveur 100 Chefs' Edition (2011), Saveur's annual list of great food finds around the world. We recently ordered them for Happy Hour off Leroy's menu and found them to be deliciously "deviled" with yellow curry, pickled red onion and mango chutney. I'm not exactly sure where John found his inspiration, but he has hatched his own challenge for the summer concert season, to create a unique deviled egg that complements each of our culinary themed challenges. Some weeks may prove to be more challenging than others! For our Evening in Corsica, he dressed up the classic deviled egg by incorporating capers and some of the herbs found on the island. He plated the eggs on a bed of lightly dressed baby arugula, garnished the star-tip piped yolks with crispy prosciutto, and added a few drops of paprika oil around the edge of the whites to finish off his elegant presentation.

Although they're a pain in the butt to shell, the arrival of favas to the farmers' markets brings a smile to my face. Once the beans are released from their broad, leathery pods, a quick blanching and ice bath plunge helps loosen the exterior coating. After another painstaking session removing the outer coating, the reward is a handful of small, sweet, bright green beans that need nothing more than a drizzle of olive oil and a few shavings of Pecorino cheese. Minute Chef toyed with the idea of preparing the Fava and Pecorino Salad, until I educated him on the time involved to shell the favas. As an alternative, I suggested a charcuterie platter with a few cured meats and cheeses, but that didn't make it to the table either. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen...just sayin'
In Rome, on the first of May, Roman families traditionally eat fresh fava beans with Pecorino Romano cheese during a daily excursion in the Campagna. In Liguria, a maritime region near northern Italy, fava beans are loved raw, and consumed fresh in early spring as the first product of the garden, alone or with fresh Pecorino Sardo, or with local salami from Sant'Olcese.
|Insalata di Baccelli e Pecorino (Fava and Pecorino Salad)
"The calling card of Corsican charcuterie is rich marbling, which owes to the free-range, chestnut-fattened Nustrale pigs, a black-skinned breed that is related to the island's native wild boars." David McAninch, The Art of the Cure: Corsican Charcuterie
|This should have been Bradley's charcuterie
In addition to the Fava and Pecorino Salad, Saveur's Corsican Dinner Party Menu featured Swiss Chard Cannelloni. This was my first time making cannelloni, and I took on the additional challenge making homemade pasta. The cannelloni is filled with ricotta, swiss chard, garlic and mint, nestled in a baking dish, covered with a zesty homemade tomato sauce seasoned with garlic, thyme, basil, and red chile flakes, topped with fontina cheese, baked until hot and bubbly, and finished under the broiler to brown the cheese. We all loved this dish, and Carmen commented it is in the top three of everything she's ever tasted from my kitchen (please excuse the photo - it looked much prettier before the cheese stuck to the foil during transport to the park).
|Pasta Incu Bietulle (Swiss Chard Cannelloni)
Kai prepared Stuffed Eggplant, which paired nicely with Nina's Stuffed Tomatoes. Hey, didn't we already do Battle Stuffed? We did, for the first concert in the summer of 2009 - Fill Me Up Until I'm Stuffed.
|Kai's Stuffed Eggplant
|Nina's Stuffed Tomatoes
Carmen was ready to rally with her Dutch oven full of Rick Stein's Corsican Wild Mushroom and Boar Stew, showcasing Corsica's wild boar, chestnuts, juniper berries, and herbs. She served it over rigatoni and it was perfect to take that slight chill out of the air. She also made Mendients, a traditional French confection composed of a chocolate disk studded with nuts and dried fruits. Jim successfully located a few bottles of Corsican wine at Bacchus Wine Market but I didn't move fast enough to get a tasting.

Kudos to Sandra! I received her Cipolline in Agrodolcee e-mail and photo when we returned from the park that evening, apologizing for underestimating the time it would take to peel a bucket load of pearl onions. She raved how good they ultimately turned out, so I had to try for myself and made them to accompany grilled steaks and sausages at the OCC (Ocean Corner Compound) Memorial Day BBQ. Like fava beans, the extra time in preparation is ultimately rewarded by sweetness of the sauteed onions and raisins and tanginess from the balsamic and sugar glaze.
|Sandra's version with Pearl Onions
|Cipollini Onions
|Cipolline in Agrodolce (Sweet and Sour Onions)
Two more main courses that managed to escape the photo shoot were Pammy's Crock Pot Corsican Chicken and Mom Gaddis' Corsican Seafood Stew loaded with shrimp and scallops.
I couldn't stop at cannelloni, fava beans, and cipollini onions, so I tried the Torta Pisticcina, made with the flour from Corsica's prized crop, chestnuts, studded with whole almonds (I used Marcona almonds), and topped with a scattering of sliced almonds. This tart has a very unique flavor from the chestnut flour. I borrowed this description from ChestnutsOnLine.com: To describe a flour as sweet seems odd, but chestnut flour is truly sweet and mellow and imparts a most unusual yet welcome flavor to everything in which it is used.
|Torta Pisticcina (Chestnut Flour Tart)
There were a few negative reviews of Saveur's Fiadone, so she went with another recipe. It baked up beautifully, and looked exactly like it was supposed to look, but I didn't care for the texture. It was a cross between sponge cake and souffle, and not at all creamy like a cheesecake. As an alternative, I strongly recommend Tourteau de Chèvre, a specialty cheesecake of Poitou Charentes, also from Dorie Greenspan's Around My French Table.
|Fiadone (rustic lemon-scented cheesecake)
"The rum-and-vanilla-scented batter is less cakey than custardy. And there's only enough of it to surround the apples. It's a very homey, almost rustic cake and it's good no matter what kinds of apples you use. In fact, when I asked Marie-Hélène which apples she used, she said she didn't know--she just used whatever she had." - Dorie Greenspan
|Marie-Hélène Apple Cake
After our Evening in Corsica, I can assure you this is going to be one of our best concert seasons yet! We won't be doing a formal theme every Sunday, but I hope to have something interesting to share after most Sundays. And Corsica is now on my bucket list!

There's potentially some very weird stuff going on under the hood there if those odd-looking hood bulges are to be believed. Perhaps it's a facelift for the 612 Scag, or it could be it's an test mule for a Dino powerplant, or maybe even the new twin-turbo engine we've heard rumored will be under the hood of the next Enzo. Or maybe it's just an engine upgrade for the big V12. Whatever it is, there be strange things afoot in the stables of the prancing ponies. We'll keep our eyes peeled for any new developments.

Baby, It's Cold Outside
First two pants run of the season. 2 shirts, wind jacket, gloves and wind mitts, turtle fur hat and neck wrap keeps me toasty. My feet became cold as my gortex Inov 8's were still soaked from yesterday. I should have stuffed them with newspaper but spaced it. I wore my Flyrock's instead.
The snow is just wonderful! We were the first to break the trail of course and in some of the meadow areas where the big drifts were, it was well past my knees. Cool. Topaz loped over the moguls, enjoying it all.
Topaz stayed warm with his booties. The first time I put them on him he didn't know what I was doing. He didn't want his paws to touch the floor, and stepped high, barely putting any weight on them. It was quite funny! Now he knows that they keep the ice out and are a preparation for a run. When he saw the booties in my hand this morning he knew we were going for a run and did his silly happy run dance.
1.5 hours on the trail was enough for me today! This afternoon I'm going to meet Suzanne for a yoga session. Nice and warm.

I mentioned this song a few weeks ago on my blog.
I love the tenacity of the guy in this song using "baby, it's cold outside" as a reason she should not go home and spend the night with him.
When Sinatra sings it, it makes me melt like butta.
You are a bad ass for going out this morning
- elizabeth said...
You are definitely a bad ass Julie! 20 miles on snowshoes is quite a workout. How long did it take you?
I did get the Northern Lites. Tried them out today. Great! Much better than the two previous brands I've tried. I didn't make it 20 miles however, I'm lucky if I got 8 miles in. Snowshoe running in a foot of snow is not easy! I think using poles might help. It was only about 5 degrees and my German Shorthair Sam was cold, even with a jacket and booties and running non-stop. So I headed back to the car after a couple hours.
What yummy things are you baking for the holiday this year? I made some iced gingerbread cookies and also some dog biscuits today. The dogs loved the biscuits!

Hi, Marissa, and welcome to the group. As a lover of sci-fi/fantasy with an atheistic edge, you'd enjoy my latest novel, POLLY AND THE ONE AND ONLY WORLD (Green Writers Press), a YA fantasy set in a repressive theocracy and featuring an atheist witch as its heroine and fundamentalists as its villains.
It's been receiving strong notices and continuing attention, I'm glad to say. It's not easy these days for a novel to get much traction.
Hi all! Just introducing myself as I'm a professional freelance book editor who's always looking out for freethinking/skeptical minded authors to work with. I specialize in science fiction & fantasy, and do a lot of non fiction titles too. If you're interested, you can find more about me at www.marissavu.com.
or twitter @Marissavu.
(I should note, sometimes I can squeeze in a project at short notice, but usually my waiting list is about 3 months... so best to get in touch early if you're considering hiring an editor for your book).
Happy writing! And thanks for adding some freethought to the world of literature. :)
By ling, I mean long, of course.
I own a skepical publishing company (Onus Books) and have just started a fiction imprint (Loom) with its first book out recently by Rebecca Bradley (book is called Cadon, Hunter).
All is going well on this front. The challenge, though, is marketing, certainly for shifting large numbers. Publishing a book is relatively easy. Selling them in good numbers is much harder.
If anyone has any skeptical/humanist/atheist poetry, I am accepting submissions for an anthology:
Arni - ling time no hear!
Arni--I left a message for you on your home page about I book I think you'll enjoy . . .
Regarding a criteria for atheistic writing, I have written this short story that has an atheist position towards Norse mythology; does that qualify as atheistic writing?
In this day and age, consider self-publishing. Create Space is a "print on demand" partner for Amazon. Book Baby is an aggregator that can get your book on iTunes, B & N, Kobo, Amazon, etc.
If you go this route you need to hire your own editor and designer for cover/layout (and if you wish, a publicist). You can be your own publisher or appoint Create Space as the publisher and they'll get you a bar-code etc. You set the price, they pay you a royalty.
I looked at some of the Vanity Press options but this route has no upfront costs other that help I hired myself. I wrote a 2013 book, 420 pgs, $18.89 in paperback and $9.99 as an eBook and Amazon pays me $5.50 if people buy it off the Amazon site and $1.20 if they buy it through their bookstore. If I sell it, I order it from them, they charge $6.00 to print it + shipping and buyers can pay by paypal (or I have a Visa/Master Card account). I sell about 200 a month (3,300 total so far) and that's about as well as I expected to do.
It's a secular daily reflection for the mostly religious Twelve Step community. Atheists love it, theist don't seem to mind it either. It's not offensive by design, it is just unabashedly prayer and faith-free.
So, consider POD (Print of Demand) if you don't think you'll mind doing a little marketing homework. If you're established in social media that will help, too.
Beyond Belief: Agnostic Musings for 12 Step Life
I considered printing a couple thousand which would have brought my cost per book in 1/2 but then I'd have to store them and Amazon gets better shipping rates than I can so I think my overall costs (and certainly risk) is way lower.
i'm sorry. I should have given the company's name that published my book. It was Xlibris.
I went to the "vanity press". I had to pay to get mine published, but then I'm not the best writer in the world. My book "It's Time For A Talk" is only 58 pages long, and it cost me $600. I thought it was worth it because I'm trying to get religion out of the Republican party. I sent a soft-cover edition to each of the leading contenders in the party as of right now, and the Republican national headquarters.
American Atheist Press of course!

Ankle sprains
are common injuries that can result in lifelong problems. Some people with
repeated or severe sprains can develop long-term joint pain and weakness.
Treating a sprained ankle can help prevent ongoing ankle problems.
If an ankle sprain does not heal
correctly, the joint may become unstable, resulting in a weakened and easily
reinjured ankle. Proper initial care of your sprained ankle is critical.
An ankle sprain occurs when
ligaments that connect the bones in the foot, ankle,
and lower leg are stretched or torn.
An ankle sprain often
happens when you make a rapid shifting movement with your foot planted, for
example, when playing soccer or getting tackled in football. Most commonly, the
ankle rolls outward and the foot turns inward in what is called an
inversion injury. It results in stretching and tearing of the ligaments that
connect the bones in the foot, ankle, and lower leg on the outside of the
