The hard wind tearing through the Nantahala Forest is the big swift hand of Grandmother, getting crumbs off the table, thoughtlessly, readying for the next thing, washing clothes or serving soup. In the hollow, under the cold wind, you are the crumb! You may like it here, but you're gone! Loud and long the fierce winds howl through the deep forest. She brushes Her hand, and ancient oaks crash, obedient to Her will. The Rhododendron stands patient through eons and eons, accustomed to the Grandmother's whims. Her brown and mossy stems meet and turn exquisitely, solid, rooted, yet reaching for air, a ballet on the brown forest floor. Her leathery broad leaves are good for all winter, each whorl of leaves a brilliant, fleeting thought. They call this Rhododendron Hell: Hell, Holle, the Holy, the One Who Lives Death. Plants and animals die here, ecstatic to feed Her, to become the next thing. I, too, would die for Her, here at Her feet in the Nantahala Forest. "Guten abend, guten Nacht," sings Grandmother, tucking me in as I dissolve into nutriment. Here at Holle's side, Her perfect whorls elegant, I'd wash into dirt at the first icy rain, rejoin the family of all being, sing the green songs of the ages. Fierce winds tear through here, uprooting oaks. I sleep at Her feet until whenever She needs me. Words & Image ©Annelinde Metzner, October 1995

The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.
We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.
We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Milwaukee Sun.

Hi all,
I want to do a look up on the values :
1) in column B and column E based on the values in column A and column D.
For example, if I enter a value in col A such as the id in the attached, then the name will appear in col B and I enter
the secid in col C, then the holding will appear in col D.
2) look up the values in col B and col D based on the value in col C. For example, the value of Secid is enter and the
result would be show in col B and col D.
What is the formula to use for this. Can I use Vlookup in this?
Attached a dummy sample.

Deliver Complete Virtual Datacenters for Consumption in Minutes
Orchestrate the provisioning of software-defined datacenter services as complete virtual datacenters that are ready for consumption in a matter of minutes. Virtual datacenters provide virtualized compute, networking, storage, and security. Administrators can provision the complete set of services necessary to make workloads operational in minutes. Software-defined datacenter service and the virtual datacenters fundamentally simplify infrastructure provisioning, and enable IT to move at the speed of business. Watch the vCloud Director demo
Deliver Complete Software-Defined Services as Virtual Datacenters
VMware vCloud Director applies the principles of pooling, abstraction and automation to all datacenter services like storage, networking, and security. By dramatically simplifying the provisioning of these services, VMware enables IT to provision complete and operationally ready infrastructure without worrying about the physical configuration of hardware.
The virtual datacenter is a new logical container that provides all infrastructure services necessary to make workloads operational in minutes. Applications provisioned into these elastic containers are automatically placed in the most optimal vCenter Server cluster, alleviating IT overhead around balancing server capacity.
Multiple resource allocation models define how virtual datacenter resources are consumed by different teams and organizations. Resources can be reserved for guaranteed availability or consumed "as you go" for maximum efficiency.
Enable Infrastructure for Consumption in Minutes
vCloud Director accelerates and simplifies access to infrastructure. Open Virtualization Format-based vApp templates of multi-tier applications are made available in web-based catalogs for rapid deployment. vApp templates capture requirements for compute, storage, networking, and other custom guest data so that the resources can be dynamically provisioned from aggregate software-defined resource pools to meet those requirements. This template-based approach also enables applications to be flexibly ported between datacenters.
vCloud Director also leverages vSphere technology like linked clones and snapshots to dramatically expedite access to infrastructure. Linked clone technology links instances of running VMs back to their original template to avoid wait times for additional storage. Snapshots enable end-users to unwind changes made to a virtual machine without having to re-provision. This faster infrastructure delivery is also available to 3rd party technology alliance partners through an expanded API and SDK.
Trust Your Infrastructure-as-a-Service
vCloud Director leverages a policy-driven approach to provisioning that embeds software-defined security and resource consumption controls so that pre-configured IT policies are automatically enforced. vCloud Director integrates network edge security into virtual datacenters so that organization administrators can directly configure and deploy gateway security services. vCenter Single-Sign-On enables SAML tokens generated by any identity provider to be used to login to vCloud Director.
Beyond security, vCloud Director enables authorized consumption using a flexible role-based access control model that enables different users to have different levels of functional access within vCloud Director. Quotas, leases, and limits can also be set to limit consumption that exceeds prescribed boundaries. Integration with VMware vCenter Chargeback Manager enables consumption within vCloud Director to be fully accounted for both showback visibility and chargeback billing.

News: Chris Neil (upper body), who left Sunday's Game 3 victory over the Penguins during the second overtime period, practiced Tuesday.
Analysis: The report adds that Chris Neil is cleared to play in Wednesday's Game 4, suggesting that the pesky forward could have returned to Game 3 with more time.
News: Coach Claude Julien doesn't think that Dennis Seidenberg (leg) will be ready to suit up Tuesday against the Rangers.
Analysis: With Dennis Seidenberg among the Bruins' trio of banged-up blueliners, along with Wade Redden and Andrew Ference, look for Matt Bartkowski, Dougie Hamilton and Torey Krug to continue to fill in on the B's back line in Tuesday's Game 3.
News: The Boston Globe believes that it's unlikely that Wade Redden (undisclosed injury) will suit up Tuesday against the Rangers.
Analysis: Though Wade Redden practiced Monday and is with the team in New York, for now it looks like the Bruins will go with the same lineup Tuesday that they went with in Sunday's Game 2 win over the Rangers.
News: Eric Gryba (upper body) is not close to returning, the Ottawa Sun reports.
Analysis: Eric Gryba still has not been cleared for contact after being hit by Pens defenseman Brooks Orpik in Game 1 of the Senators' second-round series. Andre Benoit played in Gryba's place in Game 3, and can be expected to do so again in Game 4 on Wednesday, especially considering Benoit set up the game-winner in overtime Sunday.
News: Adam Burish (hand) is progressing, but will miss Tuesday's Game 4 against the Kings, ESPN's Pierre LeBrun reports.
Analysis: The fact that Adam Burish's hand will probably keep him out a little while longer and his lack of offensive production leave him with very little fantasy value.
News: Patrick Kane has picked up his first-ever nomination for the Lady Byng Trophy, which is given each year to the player who has best exhibited the combination of sportsmanship, gentlemanly conduct and skill. He's up against the Islanders' Matt Moulson and the Lightning's Marty St. Louis.
Analysis: He finished fifth in the NHL in both goals (23) and points (55) while picking up just eight penalty minutes, the fewest among the league's top-20 scorers.
News: Matt Moulson has earned a nomination for the Lady Byng Trophy, which is given to the NHLer who has best exhibited the combination of sportsmanship, gentlemanly conduct and skill. Marty St. Louis of Tampa Bay and Patrick Kane of Chicago are the other nominees. It is Moulson's second consecutive nomination for the award.
Analysis: Matt Moulson totaled just four penalty minutes while finishing in the top three on the Isles in goals (15), assists (29) and points (44). His efforts also helped lead the team to the postseason for its first appearance in six seasons.
News: Martin St. Louis has been named a finalist for the Lady Byng Trophy, given each year to the player who has best exhibited the combination of sportsmanship, gentlemanly conduct and skill. He is up against Patrick Kane of the Blackhawks and Matt Moulson of the Islanders.
Analysis: He is already a two-time Lady Byng winner (2009-10, 2010-11) and a finalist for the award four other times. This year, he led the NHL with 43 helpers and 60 points in 48 games to win his second-career Art Ross Trophy, all while spending just 14 minutes in the penalty box.
News: Kyle Clifford (undisclosed) is expected to suit up for Tuesday's Game 4 matchup with the Sharks, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: This is better news for the Kings than it is for fantasy owners, as Kyle Clifford has yet to record a point in five games in the playoffs.
News: Mikhail Grabovski has reportedly admitted that he bit Montreal forward Max Pacioretty in a game on Feb. 9, reports TSN.ca, which cited Dmitry Chesnokov, a Russian-American writer with Yahoo! Sports. "(Pacioretty) was choking me and I bit him," said Grabovski. "Don't stick your hands where you shouldn't."
Analysis: After the incident, the NHL didn't hand down any supplemental discipline because it couldn't determine if there was a bite or not. Honestly comes later, we guess. "To be honest with you he was choking me pretty hard, to the point where I really couldn't breathe," continued Grabo. "And I couldn't pull his hand away at all. I tried to hit him with my other hand, but I couldn't because he was choking me. There was nothing left to do but bite him." We wonder if the league will reconsider its stance and levy something that will be effective to start next season

2. | control freak | ||
Person who instinctively needs to manipulate others. Control is the motivation in any scenario. Cunnning; may be disguised as other type of freak, such as a clean freak. Often speaks highly of chaos. Quickly cleans up after you, as if to suggest, 1) You're not clean enough. 2) This is how you need to do it.
Will also move your things around in a seemingly banal way. |
1. | control freak | ||
Person/persons who, if not in control of many aspects in other's lives will go ballistic. This ensues telling, demanding, and finally just doing what they wanted all along.
These persons are the complete opposite of, and will clash with those who are laid back "1) we're going to decorate the apartment like this, 2) I want it decorated this way, 3) I just decorated it the way I wanted."
3. | control freak | ||
Someone who has a compulsive need to control all aspects of his or her own life, such that he or she often views others (particularly those closest) as attempting to control or impose upon his or her life. A control freak ends up trying to control not only his or her own life, but also that of others. Controlling his or her own life is the primary goal, while attempting to control other's lives is simply a protective measure and by-product; Often participated by being single and living alone for a long period of time in an urban environment. He was such a control freak in the kitchen, taking over every single aspect of the meal preparation and scolding me when I attempted to do something without permission. He obviously has been eating alone for too long.
4. | control freak | ||
A crazy ass usually obsessed with the control of his/her friends lives. She/He may not like your friends,that you eat fast food, or who you date. She/He gets upset over the simplest things and goes into a hyperventilating fit of rage. She/he whips her boy/girl-friend into anything she/he wants, and when she/he doesn't get it, takes her rage out on his/her friends.

An insecure person with serious issues, who thinks they have to control people all the time. If they are not in control, they panic and grow angry and aloof. They have the it's-my-way-or-the-highway philosophy. In love relationships a control freak often tries to control his woman out of insecurity and lack of trust. My roomate is a control freak and somehow thinks he is my father. He asks me where I'm going, who I'm meeting with, what I'm doing, when I'll be back, what I'm looking at on the internet, tells me how to wash the dishes and how to load the dishwasher, and even questions my spending habits. His serious control issues are making me want to move out.

Broker Obsolescence? - The Growth of Auctions.
The new cry from constituents and customers alike is for transparency. No more backroom deals or preferred treatment. The White House is being held to a new standard of transparency, Wall Street is being dragged into an era of transparency (abet kicking and screaming) and in the age of Google and communication at the speed of light, why not?
Shouldn't we all understand why something happened or why it didn't. Haven't we outgrown the ambiguous answer of "Just because?" The world is asking why and how and how does it work and why did that happen and what caused it? We are learning that there is usually a simple, obvious and truthful answer, even if insiders try to make it complicated, cloudy and ambiguous.
Why isn't the sales model in Real Estate transparent?
There are so many new tools available to the consumer. In many cases, the research we can do ourselves is better than the research the professionals in their respective fields can assemble. What's more, we have a direct/integral role in the validity and source of the data. Generally we are not looking for data to support our position, or to close a sale, we are educating ourselves.
It's part of the evolution of business and business culture. Travel Agents are rare today, but the good ones are very helpful for complicated travel plans. But if I just want the best deal on a flight to Vegas and hotel room that I can chose from a list of options, I'll book it myself on one of dozens of online sites. I can do my own research on the best locations, rooms, itinerary and prices. As much we take that for granted, just 10 years ago, you couldn't gain access to the booking systems and therefore the available options without being a member of the travel industry (A Travel Industry Professional).
Interested in buying and trading stocks, bonds, options and equity positions? Before online services, you called your stock broker and placed the trade. Today true day-traders and those with the time and patience can research positions and companies while reacting to streaming news and moment by moment to changes in the markets all from the comfort of their kitchen table. Of course, there are still positions not open to the general public like IPO's, some forms of shorts and propriety stock class offerings. But, that's all probably going to change.
Why is it that one needs to hire a Real Estate Agent to find, view and offer on real estate? Our we really so short sighted to think by restricting access to a "Listing Service" we are protecting the consumer? Does a confidentiality agreement protect the seller? No, we are protecting the business model.
I'm going to step on some toes here, but this is the question consumers (buyers) and the sellers (mostly bank asset managers) are asking.
There's no surprise we've seen the growth of the Auction market in Real Estate. HUD has done it for years for residential sales… generally HUD listing agents simply act as a concierge to assist HUD. Any buyer can find, research and in many states bid on homes themselves. Other lenders are starting to catch on too. Why manage 100 sales through 100 platforms with 100 different brokers when they can market all of their inventory themselves, on-line, see every offer, question and feel confident they reached as many possible buyers as they could. (Achieving the highest possible price.)
Nearly every Asset Manager has said the same thing to me in different ways.."We trust and need the local expertise of the local broker, but we just don't trust the execution.."
Why are lenders selling their assets on auction sites? They want to be sure everyone had access to make an offer who is qualified to make an offer and they got the highest and best price. That's why HUD does it. Transparency and accountability. All offers are submitted and managed through their on-line bidding site. It's a blind, best price take all approach we all hoped the traditional sales process was supposed to be. (Ever wonder why the house or building you offered more for was purchased by another buyer at a lower price? Consumers do..)
The world is shrinking. We are all asking for the accountability and transparency that a free market should produce. If we don't like that our roles are changing, it's too late. They've already changed. (Gone the way of the wheel-right, cooper, mule skinner, lamp-lighter). Auctions are here to stay.
As always, open to your comments and suggestions.
John Kobierowski

Argentina to join Super Rugby ranks
23 Nov 2011
The Pumas' inclusion in next year's Rugby Championship could eventually be followed by an Argentinian team making its debut in the Super Rugby tournament.
Argentina will play alongside Australia, New Zealand and South Africa in next year's inaugural Rugby Championship. Now that the dream has become a reality, there could be further steps taken to ensure Argentinean players receive more exposure to top flight rugby, as top officials are talking about a possible future inclusion in Super Rugby.
'With time there could be a franchise coming out of this region,' said Saru deputy president Mark Alexander. 'If we want to grow the game and we are serious about our partnership with Argentina, this is a new market for us and a growth area.'
South Africa has long been associated with Argentinean rugby, and lobbied strongly for the Pumas' inclusion in a four-team southern hemisphere showpiece. Before Argentina was included in the Rugby Championship, South Africa had an invitational team, the Pampas XV, compete in the Vodacom Cup, South Africa's feeder competition to Super Rugby.
'South Africa adopted an approach about four years ago that we wanted Argentina to be part of this competition and one of our first initiatives was to get them playing in our Vodacom Cup back in our domestic league,' Alexander said. 'The Pampas won that competition last season so we work very closely with Argentina, we believe it's good for the growth of the game to make sure the southern hemisphere has a strong presence in the World Cup.
'There are a lot of talented players in the Pampas team, a lot of franchises were looking at contracting players, but due to the gentleman's agreement we have with Argentina we asked our franchises to refrain from contracting the players so they could play as a unit, develop as a unit.
'But there's a lot of talent here, a lot of players who are eligible to play in South African franchises. There were 12 players who could be signed by franchises, they're good players, they're talented, they are ball players, we'll work with them.'
A lot's been done behind the scenes to ensure the best Argentinian players are available for the Rugby Championship, which will take place at the same time as many of Europe's top club competitions. For an Argentinean outfit to field a competitive team in Super Rugby, they would also need to have the best players at their disposal.
Sanzar president Mike Eagle suggested that Argentina could eventually have their own conference, just as the three existing Sanzar nations had in the Super Rugby competition this year.
'I know we've got complications with the northern clubs in releasing their players, that's why we would like to integrate their younger players into our southern hemisphere competitions so they can be released like our players are,' he said.
'The ultimate goal for Argentina should be really to have their own conference of Super Rugby down here playing in front of their own fans. That's why we've got a conference system and it's easy to add conferences. You'd actually have your own professional teams down here playing in your own conference as part of the Sanzar competition and then you'd be in charge of the destiny of your own players, you don't have to go and ask other clubs for their release and that would be a win-win for everybody.
'I'd like to see Argentina become a part of Sanzar, not just an invited guest, and to go forward to have a professional conference running out of here.'

23 Nov 2011, 09:55 amIn fact, Cardinelli, SA rugby links with Argentina go a hell of a long way further back…. to the apartheid days when the Argies, posing as the South American Jaguars, came out here on a regular basis.
Hell, they even beat a fully fledged bok team in Bloemfontein once. But theere again not too much of a surprise, as they did have a certain Hugo Porta playing at 10… THE greatest flyhalf ever..
23 Nov 2011, 10:08 amThat Pampas team tore everyone apart this year. Imagine what havoc they will cause in the watered down Super Series.
Jeez that will push the Lions and Cheetahs even further down the table! Aich!!
23 Nov 2011, 10:22 am@Great White Shark(Predawn)-2:
The Pampas ripped apart a competition equivelent to the NZ Hearland Championship which is 2 rungs down from Super Rugby.In answer your question, bugger all!
23 Nov 2011, 10:22 amNever a better time to now out of sanzar
23 Nov 2011, 10:27 amUnderestimate the Argentinians and you will lose. The Tri-nations will see a few surprises.
23 Nov 2011, 10:33 amF.uck. Brad is here.
Time for a bottle of wine
23 Nov 2011, 10:39 am@Great White Shark(Predawn)-5:
I don't under estimate them at all.I also don't think putting them on a pedestal and using the Pamas efforts in the Vodacom Cup as a pointer on how they would perform in Super rugby is realistic.
Good grief. The NZ Baby Blacks would have ripped apart that competition as well.
23 Nov 2011, 10:46 amI don't see the need to disrespect Argentinian rugby and actually have made the Argies my second favourite team since their showing in 2007 and the Pampas showing in the Vodacom Cup. The Pampas made such a mess of the other teams that it was clear they had been put in the wrong competition.
The Argies will see off a few Kiwi, Aussie and South African teams when they join the Super Series.
23 Nov 2011, 10:55 am@Great White Shark(Predawn)-8:
Where did I disrespect the Argentinians.I questioned your putting them on a pedestal based on their performance in a competition which I agree they were wholely over strength to be involved with.
It was you who has disprespected the Super rugby by your suggestion they would do a similar demolition job on the "watered down" super series.
23 Nov 2011, 11:00 amVery much watered down. Too many games and too little interest as the teams play one another too often. Boring as all heck. Check the stadiums for 2012….I am willing to bet there will be even less interest.
23 Nov 2011, 11:28 amSouth African media named them the Puma's (accidentally) , that's how far back we go with Argentina!
23 Nov 2011, 12:39 pmThink this is a fantastic idea to grow world rugby , personally i cant wait to go and watch rugby in B Aires – it can only help
23 Nov 2011, 13:11 pmGreat White Shark – I thought the Pumas were very competive in this years RWC. Great ry against the ABs and were very competitive v ABs. THe Pumas are way better than Italy and will definitely have an impact in the Rugby Championship(**** name)!!
23 Nov 2011, 13:12 pmstew – Especially with all the pretty latino girls!! Will make a change from the butch ozzies babes!!
23 Nov 2011, 13:55 pmMakes plenty sense for Arg to be part of SuperRugby. That way they will be far more competitive in 'The Rugby Championship'
Really looking forward to Arg joining us big 3 this year. Gonna be great.
23 Nov 2011, 17:42 pmWith the right development I can see Argentina becoming a rugby heavyweight. They have the right mental attitude and a passion for the game which is missing from the likes of Scotland and a few others.
24 Nov 2011, 00:13 amIsn't this a bit arse-about-face?
It makes more sense to give them a look in for Super rugby first before letting them join teh Trinations…
24 Nov 2011, 01:11 amIf Argentina join SANZAR would that make it SANZARAR
24 Nov 2011, 01:17 amNASA
Argentina -
24 Nov 2011, 01:18 amOr even better, NAAS.
24 Nov 2011, 01:18 amIf we add Kenya and Samoa we can have SNAAKS.
24 Nov 2011, 07:43 am@SjamBok(SjamBok)-17:
no, because arg only really been strong as a national outfit and not as provincial or club teams.
they have no high salary paying domestic comp to speak of which further makes the case to try them at national level, because they have proved themselves on past performance, as opposed to club/provincial/franchise level just yet.its a case to develop them at super level.
24 Nov 2011, 09:03 amThey've been playing first class rugby for years. The Super Series is just an added bonus for the Pampas to get better and kick more arse.
24 Nov 2011, 11:08 am@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-19: Or just plain NAAS
New Zealand
South Africa.Mr Botha would be happy !!

This is like the Gear Cube but they have made it even tougher. This one will have you stumped. Now you can change any piece with any other piece on the cube. A challenge you won't want to put down.

This puzzle is excellent. If you can solve the Gear Cube, you'll be ready to take a stab at the Gear Cube Extreme... but it really is much more difficult. It has fewer gears than the Gear Cube... in fact, the four non-geared edges allow you to make quarter-turns along one axis. But this actually makes the puzzle much, much more difficult. It combines the gearing fun of the Gear Cube with the ridiculous difficulty (mine said "12 out of 10" for difficulty on the box...) of other puzzles. Buy it to impress your friends and/or if you want a very difficult puzzle.

smallen wrote:slip ring should be checked in lathe with dial indicator to be sure it is running true
if it fails it can be replaced with used slip ring from another rotor, does not have to be same model
I can have the machinist at work check the slip ring in the lathe, assuming I ever get this thing off the engine.
What +/- tolerances are acceptable when assessing flatness with a dial indicator?
Is there somewhere to buy used slip ring, or will I have to scavenge around for one?
Thanks for all the excellent feedback!

What is the ultimate sex fantasy? Is it a certain thing? Or is it just to completely relax, surrender and let your heart take you exactly where you want to go without any holding back? Is it ultimate freedom?
I took two of the kids I mentor on an outing yesterday – I took the two boys to the library, an organic shop that has a Thursday market and Llandadno beach. One of them did not want to listen to "do not push any buttons and sit properly in the car." The rule is if you don't listen, get a warning and still don't listen, you don't come with on the next outing. That's why the little girl wasn't with this time. After all of them behaving really nicely last week, she played with her seat belt on the way back. I'm trying to explain to them I don't make weird rules just because, but the rules we have is for their own safety. I don't like adults exercising power over kids just because, or without explanation. You hear that a lot when out and about "don't touch this, don't do that, don't ask questions" and they don't necessarily point out why (they might in all fairness have pointed that out beforehand) nor do they always have a reason why themselves. Point being, taking care of these kids I often question myself – am I a good mothers figure? Are the rules I'm setting up OK? Are my reactions when I'm out with them OK? Am I still just "taming" them rather than making them think for themselves? Just because I can't pay to feed them a proper GAPS and raw food diet, is that bad of me? Surely a whole foods diet is better than crisps, but am I not putting in enough effort with it? Am I perfect enough?
You see I always imagined that when I have kids around that I look after I'm living this perfect life in a nice Eco house, with a large garden and herbal garden, I have a lovely husband, I have a very scheduled day and I have proper traditions in place for everything, from hot chocolate Sundays, to Christmas and I will know all those educational games and crafts things we will do together. Well guess what? I'm neither rich, nor married, but I do live in a natural home with a garden and I have planted five herbs in it (so there, I do have an herbal garden LOL). I don't have it all together, but I'm trying to put another piece of the puzzle together every day. No, there's not fresh Kombucha on the table yet, but I have the ingredients and the jar ready to go (and Kombucha clearly is essential for a household…well, you know at least my dream household because yummy mummies have all those things they want to have all ready to go, always, no?! LOL). No, I don't know all the amazing recipes I wanna know, all the educational games and the crafts project. I most certainly am not married. Single appears to be the notorious case of my relationship status and funnily enough I care less about it now. I guess I feel rather fulfilled, because as a matter of fact every day it seems I do more. I do learn new recipes. I do learn about education. I do work as a writer with decent assignments, if yet there are mountains to climb. I do work with underprivileged kids and I do have some that I mentor and who could become my family, should I choose to walk that path and raise the money to do so. And somehow this has all calmed me down and made me feel fulfilled. On the other hand, I don't yet have a proper social life in Cape Town, so it's sort of made me wake up to that as well, because I need friends and support.
There are other things as well I have been contemplating – my ADD habits and how bad I am at certain things. I'm blessed in some areas, a mess in others. Thinking of mentoring the kids kind of makes you think about what kind of role model you are. Like when I sleep in now I'm like shit – had, I had kids I could not have done that. Does that mean I'm not ready for this? Does that make me "bad?" I'm terrible with paperwork and time keeping, so clearly I'm not a responsible adult. I can fill out a form three times and still miss things and I mess things up in my mind all the time, so I'm bad right? I was always told I was bad because of this, so clearly I'm not responsible enough. Never mind that I try doing something about my bad habits, the one day I miss doing a work out, or fail and don't live in "perfection" I get angry with myself. And of course I'm not perfect, so I fail all the time with sticking to things and oh my God. I don't have a pattern of wanting to punish myself at all or anything. OH MY GOD I have a pattern of wanting to punish myself, oh now I'm really seriously bad…oh my God. When I was younger I literally wanted to run into a wall when I fucked up, I really hated myself for it and wanted pain, not that I ever did that, but seriously I had those thoughts and now I'm dealing with kids, seriously, I'm really bad. See what I mean? That's my brain for you. And since deciding to deal with the kids I seriously had to face this oh my God I'm feeling inadequate pattern.
I was reading the Mommypotamus blog the other day and looking at eco houses and that's when I really came to see this pattern. I had a freak show about not having everything "all together," or rather discovering what a freak show I have been having and starting to unraveling it and letting go of it. And it's truly bizarre because I probably have it more together than most. Apart from my ADD patterns and wanting to punish myself and judging myself, I believe I'm quite good. Actually. It's just my perfectionist and not good enough belief that's screwing with my head. Truly that's the reason why I'm single as well. When I meet someone I like I'm so petrified I'm not good enough and perfect enough that I start disliking myself and the idea of going into a relationship or fall in love only to once more prove to myself I'm not good enough, not perfect enough hasn't been appealing. I lose track of myself when I start caring about people's opinions. So having come to the point where I'm fairly OK with myself when I'm with myself and friends, I kind of guess I wanted to keep the status quo, especially as whenever I ventured into trying I failed. I did only manage to prove I wasn't good enough once more.
I guess I've always had habits I've used as an excuse to feel bad about myself. Fact is, there are some things I'm no good at, like filling in paperwork – last year when working as a sales manager I was always in trouble – I always missed something. Especially when I had read through it three times and was really proud thinking I'd done a good job. People would get angry that I didn't concentrate, but thought I had my full attention on the task – and proof read it three times. Not to mention my own panic. I felt like I couldn't trust myself, because for example – I would put everything together on my desk, preparing to leave and structuring my things so as to remember everything. Then I would happily leave without the envelop I had placed on top of my desk so as NOT to forget to post it. Now certain of these things I learnt to manage, because they were habits. If you always put the keys in the same place you will remember them, but all of life is not a habit. In an office there's new things all the time and you can't habitualize them.
I worked in an office for over a year and that made me humble, because I had to face my shortcomings every day and after a while I had to somehow try to kick myself out of feeling bad about them, because some things I couldn't change and I became better at a lot of the things I could change. It was still trying, because I couldn't trust myself not to miss details. Then suddenly I was working as a freelance writer and people loved my writing. That's not to say I haven't missed deadlines and mixed things up. Still happens. Still makes me feel bad. When I was forced, due to an article I was writing, reading up about ADD I had to humbly admit to the fact that I have pretty much every symptom of it and I don't even believe in ADD, because most people they say can't concentrate can concentrate. Maybe just not in the same ways. I came to realize some of us have brains that work differently and some of that can't and shouldn't be changed, because our brain works that way because it's great with something else. As humiliated as I felt reading about all those symptoms and ticking off the list, I also felt relieved, because the anger I have had to encounter with the years and all those "you're just not responsible enough" kind of felt less hurtful.
I'm learning to structure my days. I'm learning to respect and love myself. I'm learning to value my talents. I'm learning that I can't and don't have to be great at everything. I do have to learn to discipline myself in certain areas, but at the same time I have to appreciate what my somewhat chaotic mind manages to come up with. I will also have to learn to respect and appreciate others and not, if I'm having PMS, have a complete tantrum if they say they are against Monsanto and manage to eat GMO corn at the same time, or try to convince me they care about the planet whilst smoking cigarettes and feeding their kids non-organic meat with weird preservatives, because my perfectionist hysteria tends to have two pet peeves – health and nature and if I'm in a bad mood I believe people are personally insulting me by poisoning themselves and the planet.
I realized there won't be a one year vacation when I build my eco-home, learn to cook all the perfect foods (raw foods and whole foods), finally finish writing my book and come up with ideas and educational games that will entertain the kids till they're eighteen, so that after that year everything would be ready and good to go. Or maybe I could do that if I left my volunteer work and my gorgeous home, said goodbye to entertainment and locked myself up in a tiny room somewhere – then I could work non-stop for a year and take a year sabbatical afterwards. That's not gonna happen. Even if I did I would continue to learn and grow, so perfection would never be achievable anyway. Only idiots believe they've learnt all there is to know and they can't go further. Perfection is an illusion. We are evolving every day if we are only humble enough to acknowledge the mistakes of the past and learn from the lessons. Admit that we aren't perfect. And maybe more so than anything you have to teach kids to learn. To grow. To evolve.
So yes folks, I have perfectionist issues, I'm rather messy with certain things and it's no good speaking to me about Monsanto if I have PMS – I may not have a loud tantrum as such, but my world will fall to pieces and if you smoke you will have me in tears as my mom died from cancer and how could anyone wish that upon themselves, or force their loved ones to watch them die? I have a few scars in that department. Not that I would necessarily show you that, but that's how I'd feel. But having said all that I have some amazing talents, I left to set up my dream life in Cape Town, I have a career that I enjoy, I live in a dream home, I work with kids which was always my dream, I'm fairly healthy and I really do my best to understand kids and how to raise them. I do my best to live from my heart. So maybe I'm like OK you know. Maybe I even deserve having a boyfriend and kids. Maybe getting my work in magazines and on silver screens too. Could give it a go I suppose once I've managed to structure my days to fit it all in. Mmmm. Maybe there's hope for me after all?! Maybe I don't have to be great at everything to allow myself to enjoy my life? Maybe I can just sit back and love…and step up and follow my heart. Without judging. Just follow my heart. Absolutely free. Maybe…
I see the irony in this, because I have to learn routine and scheduling, but at the same time the judgments, the holding back instead of letting it flow…that's the adventure. Being stuck inside your ever so criminal mind, that's prison. Heart is freedom. Following your heart, trusting you can do it. Setting yourself free to do that. Then the routines and schedules ou truly need will fall into place and the ones you have to feel secure, or the routine of breaking them to feel bad, will disappear. Freedom is your heart.

A screen shot from "Temple Run: Oz." (Disney Interactive / March 4, 2013) |
In the latest version of Temple Run, following the yellow brick road is crucial to getting a high score.
Disney Mobile Games and Imangi Studios on Tuesday released "Temple Run: Oz," a special version of the popular mobile game based on the film "Oz the Great and Powerful," which opens Friday.
In the Oz-themed game, users play as Oscar Diggs, or the Wizard of Oz. They run through the Land of Oz and its various areas, including the Whimsie Woods and the Dark Forest. There's also a bonus level where users ride on a hot-air balloon collecting coins and gems.
PHOTOS: Tech we want to see in 2013
Players must avoid collapsing bridges, "snap dragons" and trees on the road all the while being chased by flying baboons as they try to keep running as long as possible.
"Temple Run: Oz" is the second Temple Run game to have a Disney theme, following 2012's "Temple Run: Brave." It's also the second Temple Run game this year after "Temple Run 2" launched in January.
Users can download the new game for 99 cents wherever they live in the U.S. "Temple Run: Oz" is available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch from the Apple App Store and for Android devices from Google Play.
And for all those wondering, no, there's no level in Kansas.

I <3 the "Tree" with the triangles!

Wall Art!
Ah, these are so cool! You always find cool stuff, how?! I want one. I made the silly mistake of sewing Priya's family tree to a quilt and now I have to sew everytime someone is born - too much sewing in this crazy reproductive family ;)
