Model Caching (revised)
Caching at a low level is a great option when the view is too dynamic to cache and you need something flexible that can work anywhere in the application. Here I show a variety of ways to use Rails.cache with Active Record.
(12 minutes)
Upgrading to Rails 4
With the release of Rails 4.0.0.rc1 it's time to try it out and report any bugs. Here I walk you through the steps to upgrade a Rails 3.2 application to Rails 4.
(12 minutes)
Batch API Requests
Here I demonstrate how to perform bulk API operations though a single request using Rack middleware. This is great if you need to trigger multiple actions at once such as if the user goes offline.
(18 minutes)
Handling Exceptions (revised)
By default, Rails will render a static error file when an exception occurs in production. Here you will learn how to fully customize this behavior and render dynamic error pages.
(11 minutes)
Fast Tests
A slow test suite can put a damper on test-driven development. In this episode I show a variety of ways to optimize specs including: selective testing, preloading Rails, and testing outside of Rails.

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Times Friday, Chairman of the Scioto County Commissioners Mike Crabtree, said the county has a strong interest in purchasing the Courthouse Annex and is taking steps to do so.
"Obviously we have a strong interest in the building. We have the prosecutor on the second floor of the building, which takes up a third of the building. On the second floor we have Veterans Services," Crabtree said. "There is quite a bit of county money going toward rent in that building."
He said the money currently used for rent could be put towards the purchase of the building.
Recently the county moved the Prosecutor's Office into second floor of the annex. This was done to make office space available for Fourth District Court of Appeals Judge Marie Hoover and her staff.
According to Heather Cunningham, Chief Deputy Auditor for Scioto County, "A review of our records shows that the County General Fund pays $2,083 per month for rental of office space for the Veterans Service Office. Also, the General Fund will be paying $4,200 per month for the lease of office space for the Prosecutor's Office."
Crabtree said the county is currently looking at a number of options it can utilize to save money that will be put towards to cost of purchasing the building.
"Right now we're looking at how much money we could save by renewing bonds and different things like that and how we can go about acquiring that building at the least cost to the county," Crabtree said. "We have to see if it's feasible or not and if we can do it."
He acknowledged the county must work within the limitations set by the Scioto County Financial Recovery and Supervision Commission. The commission has to approve any and all debt the county enters into and also has approval authority for a number of other items. Recently the commission approved $180,000 in projects for the county including the installation of a new roof for the courthouse.
A special meeting of the commission would have to be called to consider the purchased, before the county could officially purchase the building.
Crabtree said the current asking price for the building is $1.3 million.
"I think the final price of the build in negotiable, we're hoping we can get it for something less than a million dollars," he said.
Crabtree said the purchase could be done one of two ways.
"We could possibly enter into a long term lease with Ken Rase (owner of the building) or buy it directly, depending on how we would work this out," Crabtree said.
Crabtree said a realistic time frame moving forward on this issue is within the next six months.
"I think we'll know something about this in less than six months," Crabtree said.

I'm gonna keep this post quick but passionate. Enjoying the Small things, CONCENTRATED. Think caffeine-induced ramble.
If I could enter a little sound clip, it would be a choir of angels.
October. I said October. As in, October is the foreward in the book of heavenly fall. Or maybe it's Chapter 1. Either way...it's spell-binding, and I can't put the book down.
From here on out, it's blessed madness...starting slow with cider (first gallon of the season in the fridge) and pumpkins and new candles that promise to bring the scents of everything I miss of home into our place...and then gaining momentum at the end of the month with Halloween parades and shipped-in leaves and asking the post office clerk if they have any prettier stamps for the holiday mailers.
A wee South-Florida-style cold-front arrived with perfect timing today, dropping 68 degrees this morning for a nice October welcome. We opened the sliders and breathed in the cool damp air as we sipped our coffee and hoped for more of these soon. And since today is the Fall Foreward, we celebrate.
We paint pumpkins.
'Sup, little Rockstar.
And when I watch them together--my girls, my daughters, my creative comrades--I catch my breath and remind myself that the sisterhood I dreamed for them is so there, and what I see is just the appetizer of what is to come. Bring it.
Lainey finished her pumpkin with a heap of glitter, and I love it.
The costumes are finished. I made them this year...super simple and super fast. A little hint...
And on a different note, October is Down Syndrome Awareness month, and I'm so happy to announce the launch of an incredible new website for parents expecting a child with Down syndrome. I couldn't be more honored to be a very small part of it. The individuals who created it passionately put their hearts and souls into something that is beautiful, informative and, I imagine, an incredible guide in navigating the intimidating waters of the first steps of acceptance. If you are involved in any way in helping parents with new diagnoses, please pass this link on.
http://downsyndromepregnancy.org/ A free complete downloadable pregnancy book is available (with photos!) here as well.
And, if you're in the Naples area, we are having our FIRST Buddy Walk Saturday, October 16th. If you're interested in supporting this incredible cause, we'd love to see some new faces! Info here.
A homey weekend calls. Pumpkin bread and cider and new cold sheets tonight. It's all good, Baby.
I'd say goodbye, but somebody says it way better than I do now.

You had me with Bye Bye! October, in Floridian, is just as rich and resonant a month. Strangely, while it heralds putting gardens to bed, clearing out the outdoor furniture and preparing for winter's sleep here, there it is welcoming snowbirds, celebrating the return of cooler evenings and stepping up the schedule for "in season." Enjoy. Squeeze my girls and give my boys a pat on the back. Looking forward to the Buddy Walk!

Little Miss Nella is growing up SO fast - LOVE her painting with her big sister. And the video of her waving? C.U.T.E. I loved her proud little smile after she did it. You've got some adorable girls there Kelle!

So, ten minutes ago I was feeling the strain of a PMS moment...and the big "Ta-da" of that statement is that I don't have a period anymore! So that tells you how wildly irked I am (teeth clenched)..
But then I come here for my update and I get lost in "Kelle World" and I think pictures and pumpkins and soft baby hair and cool socks with bright green rubber boots and it makes me feel so much better (((exhale))).
And I want to start a blog AGAIN and take pictures and do something amazing for someone else and feel big for that one tiny moment.
Thank you for creating inspiration even when you might have PMS too...

Kelle--I welcomed October today with a pumpkin spice latte, candy corn and harvest pumpkin ale. It's a beautiful time here in North Carolina and we're sending all kinds of crisp fall vibes southbound for you!
I also have always thought of you as a Sara Bareilles kinda gal so it was a double whammy of perfection today with Sara singing along to your fall pictures.
Happy October to you and your family! - October 1, 2010 at 8:54 PM

Ok, so Kelle (I call you by your first name, b/c we're BFF...you just didn't get that memo yet), I made something for a giveaway on my blog that I'm running this week. It's my first. And my daughter saw it and asked who it was for. I told her I didn't know it...someone from my blog. And she said, "I hope Nella wins it." ;)

Oh Kelle.....where to begin. Congrats on your first Buddy Walk. We are gearing up for our 6th annual walk in the morning. I crave that magic, the friendship, the celebration, the smiles, the laughter, the music, the dancing. There are families who come out only once a year for this celebration and it is GRAND. We are expecting very cool temps here in Iowa tomorrow morning and will be thinking of you as we celebrate the welcoming of fall and DS awareness month here in your midwest.
Also, thank you for the link to the DS pregnancy site - we will definitely refer to it and use it well. You are such an inspiration to others and the eloquence with which you share your raw,innermost feelings is exactly what people need to hear.
And, Nella's wave....oh how I miss the days of the wobbly sit and the pride in the face of my sweet angel when he sat and waved. Priceless! Thank you, Kelle.

OH MY GOSH how cute is Nella painting her own pumpkin!! I am equally excited for fall, I am getting ready to move from California to Virginia and am so looking forward to seeing the foliage and all those wonderful fall things you talk about that we don't have in California.

You're right, this is a time to celebrate, love October! I can understand how you feel nostalgic for cooler climes but I'll bet Florida autumn has its own magic, hopefully you'll tell us all about it. I have no idea how to make Pumpkin bread, this is the first I've heard of it but it sounds gorgeous. I'd like to make it too just so I can get the words Pumpkin bread in to my autumn sentences.
Nella painting, oh my gosh. And Lainey - what a cute cat she makes!
Nothing particular to say except I feel so honoured to be waved bye bye to by that little happy Nella. - October 1, 2010 at 9:02 PM

I love October!!! I've already decorated and lit the candles too. That's as Fallish as it get here in Miami. Love Lainey's pumpkin and I love how it was sooo easy for Lainey to get Nella to wave. Sisterly love :)

Kelle~That video made me squeal with delight! She is soooo precious. God, what an absolute angel. Even with the nubby sweaters, thick knit hats, scarves, boots...I just can't get rid of that chilled to the bone feeling that comes with winter up north. Enjoy the "chilly" weather down there. We're looking at low 50's & 40's soon & for me, it's time to hibernate.
Thinking warm thoughts,

Me loves me some Kelle words on fall! Fabulously put my imaginary friend (you know of course, cause I don't really know you, but I like to think I do!). I share your passion for all things fall and totally thought of you when I lit my Woodwick pumpkin candle today. : ) Now I have to go let my almost 8 month old daughter paint her own pumpkin, cause that was just too cute!

There is something about Nella's little feet/toes that are so adorable to me. Every time I see a picture of her I have to look for those sweet little feet.
And you have two of the most well-dressed kids I've ever seen! I would wear Lainey's outfits :)

We've already decorated for Halloween (son's request)the pomegranate candle has already made a debut, candy corn is being consumed, halloween costumes are set...and the weather made a turn here in CA. Nice big storm clouds, rain and thunder. O.k. it was more like we were in the South today with humidity but something other than hot blue skies was nice.
Love little Nella's glasses and her sprouting personality. Those costumes of yours are sure to be adorable. Can't wait to see Lainey and Nella playing cat and mouse.
Hope your back is better. It's true...a run can cure most things physical and mental. ; )
Happy weekend to you.

Kelle, we started off the summer by posting about push up popsicles on the same day. And just now, we both posted a picture of an orange frame. We think too much alike! Love the girls costumes too. I wanted my girls to coordinate this year, but what do you do when your four year old wants to be a blue poison dart frog with black spots? ha! Little sister is going to be a garden gnome. She plays the part very well.

What adorable little punkin's you have! And I loved Nella waving - my girls will be so excited to see this in the morning. They're as addicted to your blog and seeing your girls as I am.
I have a question about the pink plasmacar. Does Lainey like it? Does it run smoothly on pavement? I have a friend that raves about hers but she uses it only in the house. I'm debating about getting one for Christmas and would love another opinion.
Thanks, Kelle!

Seriously, this post was amazing. But all your posts are amazing, so nothing new.

What a lovely little smile to wake up to on this frosty England morning! Nella is just too cute. I'm celebrating October too (it may just be the month my baby is born! Woohoo!) by redecorating the house - painting bookshelves and my baby's room and possibly... painting the front door to our cottage a brighter shade of red. Yeah baby! Happy Autumn!

Love Nella's little wave! And that pic of her looking up from the pumpkin, so surprised to see Mama there with the camera.
Lainey is so sweet with her sister...handing her the crayon (?) and watching to see what Nella will do.

Cathy with a C, saying prayers here for you and your family. Yes, the intensity of our love and depth of intimacy in this organism we call "family" can bring great joy or wild drama. Amazingly, we are all different...and that is part of its genius. Delicate yet resilient. Easily broken but also forgiving. I pray the drama playing out moves toward a happy resolution, greater closeness, more honest relationships and hey, a group hug! (I specifically told God Cathy with a C--lest a Kathy somewhere enjoyed the blessings he is sending you!) Have a great October day!

Long time gawker, first time poster. It's 6am ish in Minneapolis and I'm getting my fix of coffee and the little things. It's a good morning when there are new photos and stories from Florida. I'm posting today because your wedding planning statement is probably the best things I've ever read in blog. I geek out on fall too...good stuff.

gotta tell you Kelle, I don't like to think of myself as someone who plays favorites, but I can't help myself. Miss Nella Bean, Ph.D melts me.
Thank you for lending your talents and reach to the support the Buddy walk and the Down Syndrome Pregnancy site. What a great resource!
I'm wishing you an October filled with pastels, early morning sweaters, and evenings scented with Hot Chocolate.

FALL IS MY FAVOURITE! I'm up in Ontario, Canada and our leaves are changing and there's a nippy chill in the wind and I just love going for nature walks with my family wearing a big cozy sweater. Love love love this season!
I seriously can't wait to see your littles in their costumes... how adorable!!!
The picture of Nella laughing behind her pumpkin made me literally laugh out loud. So stinkin cute! - October 2, 2010 at 5:01 AM

Just love how you capture your girls. such happiness. I don't have time to skim through the love of comments like I normally do so I'm sure this is been said a million times but Nella in her professor glasses? oh my gosh, I have NEVER seen anything cuter. and I have two VERY cute boys so thats saying something ha,ha.
and the video with Nella in the end? just reduced me to happy tears and giggles. Thank you for letting us in and watching your daughters grow right along with you. I feel like I know them, I applaud new skills right a long with you. such a gift!!! - October 2, 2010 at 5:36 AM
- Hillary said...
Kelle, I couldn't agree more with you in our love for fall. The colours, smells and holiday bliss that comes along with the season. Coming from Ontario, Canada where the temperature is dropping down to 46 I couldnt help but giggle when you mentioned the 'cool morning' of 68. I find it so interesting how Fall weather is so uniquely different to individuals, yet many traditions and smells of Fall are the same. Happy October.
p.s. I cant wait to see the Halloween Costumes- absolutely adorable! - October 2, 2010 at 5:46 AM

OH.MY.WORD. That video of Nella? ADORABLE. :) I love fall, too, and when I realized that it was October about halfway through the day yesterday, I was psyched. Happy autumn! Excuse me while I go drink my pumpkin spice latte ...

Omgsh! I had no idea that fall was cheating on me! I too, was in hopes of some nuptials, but will step aside for your love affair. You could make me maid of honor. Just sayin'.
I remember the days of fall in Colorado where you'd sit under the golden Aspens as they would applaud the season into existence. Beautiful sound!
Love your blog and your pictures are amazing! God bless your fall! - October 2, 2010 at 5:56 AM

Woke up in the wee hours of the morning, couldn't get back to sleep because lo and behold, my back is jacked as well...I immediatley thought of you and sat down to read your lovely post! I think the Buddy Walk sounds so cool - I'm really proud of you and all that you do. As for the photos of Nella and Lainey painting pumpkins...well, that's just extreme, amped up cuteness right there! I can't believe how grown up Nella looks sitting beside her big sister. On a side note, Jack wanted me to paint his face like a cat last week, then he took the marker because he wanted to turn me into a dog...bite your tongue. (end result of his handiwork had me looking like a paint can had been tossed across my face) And wouldn't you know it, a little later that night my neighbour called and asked me to come over to help with something....did I remember to wash off my face first? Negative ghostrider. I buzzed the tower. xo

hi! this is amazing. my baby is about the same age as your sweet nella. she was born january 11. her name is scarlett rose. for some reason throughout my pregnancy with her i was just sure she was going to have down syndrome. i don't know why. i was actually surprised when she was born without it! shortly after that a friend forwarded your blog to me. i instantly felt connected to you and your story. i know it's silly but i felt like it should have been me. but watching you put your journey out here like this is making me realize it happened exactly how it should have. you are walking through this with grace and beauty and humor and loveliness. it's an honor to be a reader of this blog! thanks for sharing your story with us.

Okay I pull up your new post, saw Nella painting that pumpkin in her new glasses and SCREAMED "OH MY LORD" so loud that everyone in my family came running into the room, thinking I must have seen a wild animal in the house!!! Can I have her? Please? :)

Love the video of Nella. My little Kyndall, 14mth, was waving feriously back at the camera. It was too cute. I also love this time of year. I am blessed to live in the middle of the country so pumpkin patches and apple orchards adorn our landscape. We will be visiting all that we can stand this year. Ifyou ever want a taste or the midwest, come on over.
Happy October!! - October 2, 2010 at 7:27 AM
- Brown Eyed Mama said...
I think I just squeed--I don't know HOW, but I'd somehow forgotten about the waving milestone and how unbelievably CUTE it is when they're first learning how to do it! My oldest started doing it around 8 months old, while we were at Cedar Point--her daddy was riding a roller coaster and I was kind of half-talking to her, half-talking to myself, all, "Look, there's Daddy, wave to him!" and I got ready to pick up her hand and wave it toward him--and she was already doing it! Now I'm all excited for my littlest (almost 7 months) to start doing it after seeing Nella's unbelievable cuteness.

We just recently celebrated at our local buddy walk.Wonderful time with friends. So many happy people in one place is awesome.
Love those smiles, you have a wonderful family. I wish that I was ahead of the game on costumes. I still need to figure that one out yet. Something cool for a teen, yet light and comfortable to dance in. choices???

i have to tell you, your blog has moved to the tip top of my list of daily reads... love you, love your girls!
if you have time to answer me... what lens do you usually use when shooting in the house? and do you use a speed lite at all or just natural lite? my kids' faces always tend to have a blue hue to them from the shadows in our house. i am trying to master my external flash but usually end up w/ even weirder shadows!! - October 2, 2010 at 7:56 AM

I am so glad I found someone who loves fall as much as I do! People think I'm insane, but by August I'm ready for fall. To think about it actually makes me giddy!
My son was just to a pumpkin painting birthday party last night. My best friend does this for her oldest boy's birthday party every year. Last year I hosted a pumpkin painting party for all of the little ones we know. It was great and the kids have so much fun!
Great post. Cannot wait for future "fallish" posts.... - October 2, 2010 at 8:25 AM

There's a picture of Lainey looking at Nella painting beside her and I can see the wheels turning in Lainey's head...
"I am SO gonna repaint your pumpkin after you're done." haha...., ah, big sisters.
Can't wait to see Halloween costumes! One year I told everybody that they had to find something in the dress-up box, that was all I could do. That was the year James' remembers everybody thought he was a girl because he wore Kara's old Pocahontas "dress" (that I made from scratch in better times). He had to keep saying, "I'm a BOY." haha...see it's all good, we can laugh now.
Me too I loooove October! And pumpkin bread here too today, from a mix, from Aldi, it's all I got in me...but it's all good, you know? - October 2, 2010 at 8:36 AM

My Mr. is at Michael's (Michael's!) this very moment with my two urchins picking up some autumn decorations. Bring it on!

Painting pumpkins! I love it! Fall is in full swing here in the Colorado mountains and it is nothing short of gorgeous, but it's tainted by the fact that it could snow at any minute promptly ending it. Fall here is the most beautiful time and it only lasts about a month :(. Then we will be in the same boat as you celebrating fall when the weather says differently...But you will be a heck of a lot warmer!

Just looking at the pumpkin painting pictures I get the smell of hot apple pie!!! It is such a cozy warm scene I want to grab a cup of tea and curl up in a comfy chair and watch babies painting pumpkins! :) Stella would LOVE that! Still looooving the professors glasses, you just want to squeeze her! Baby girl was born in Oct. so it's now my favorite month plus the weather in Florida is my favorite in April and October!!!

This post may just be my A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E favorite of your girls! The punkin' pics are so wonderful. Lainey helping Nella and Nella concentrating so hard to paint her's...yummy! My little guy is 15 mts and I don't think there is any way he would sit still to paint, haven't tried it though, maybe I will soon.
And Nella's bye-bye...so fun!
Y'all enjoy October, I know you will. Thanks for inspiring your readers to give one more hug, read one more book, and play just a little while longer with the kiddos, it makes a difference! - October 2, 2010 at 11:15 AM

Oh, pretty sure I hear that choir of angels. Early pumpkin-carving last night and pulling out the last fall decorations. My absolute favorite time of year!
Love the cat and mouse idea. Makes a great duo indeed.
I just continue to sense the protectiveness Lainey has for Nella in the most recent pics than ever before. Exactly as it should be. Absolutely nothing lost there with your hopes and expectations. Absolutely nothing lost for either of them. And, yes, it's only a preview of so much good to come. Both lucky little girls, and a lucky mama not missing a second of it.
Happy Fall, you southern girl. - October 2, 2010 at 12:39 PM

Cathy, on the way to the mountain, appreciate the valley...there is beauty on every step of the journey. Learn from the valley...feel its depth so you will even more celebrate the height of the mountain that calls you. In the valley, we are more aware of ourselves...we look inward when the scenery is not compelling us to look out. You sound like a beautiful soul. Lean on YOU even when you can't seem to lean on anyone else...and you will find you are strong enough. You are in my prayers, Cathy with a C.

Glitter pumpkin!!! why didn't I think of that?!!
Your blog has inspired me to get in touch with the artist inside me again. I've started to crochet, sew, paint, bake again and I love it! and my boys love it too.

Cathy - I read your comment earlier and want you to know you're on my heart. Rik is right - you are strong enough. I didn't believe that about myself but have found I am; in the process of finding my inner strength, I've become absolutely certain that everyone has their own hidden vessel of strength. You will find it, and it will carry you through.

Happy October! Smiling...Nella's video waving is so sweet! The pictures of Lainey and Nella painting together are so beautiful! Love Fall! Love October! Love "your way" of raising awareness for Down syndrome!
Went to our local Buddy Walk at Central Park on Sept. 25th! It was wonderful...a powerful experience...I cried a lot...my heart was overflowing with joy... :)
"In the people we meet we can see, beyond the roles we all play, a beauty less visible yet more real than that which society has conditioned us to perceive. To ignore something beautiful and great make us less than we are. To recognize it uplifts and regenerates us. We benefit ourselves and others at the same time." ~Piero Ferrucci - October 2, 2010 at 3:23 PM

That video even got my husband over to the 'puter. And he goes "OMG! Whose baby is that? She's cuuuute." Major compliment coming from the daddy of a 7.5 month old baby girl he thinks hung the moon and no other babies come close to her cuteness. Nella does.

Hey Kelle, like everyone else I am in love with your sweet girls. I love Nella's glasses and sweet Lainey in her Matilda Jane and rain boots! Priceless! I love, love all things Fall and wanted to pass on the glitter pumpkins I just did tonight with my son. It's only a slight variation on the painting and look beautiful! You coat Mod Podge all over the pumpkin and then cover it with embossing powder that can be found in the Scrapbooking section of Micheals. They have beautiful, sparkly colors that really coat the pumpkin and make a beautiful centerpiece. Then I usually paint the stems brown with acrylic paint to make them pop a little bit more. My son loved it and now I love it for my table! I just love your blog and your sweet family. Thanks for sharing your life with so many! Blessings!

Oh lil Nella waiving bye-bye is too adorable! ;) Here in Illnois, we awoke to very cool temps here this morning, up to that point it'd still be in the 80s. When I am wanting some Florida sun and warmth this winter and you some snow, ice, and cold, we could do the house swap thing for a week! Happy Fall! It's my favorite too!

I've been reading here since April, when I was passing a month's worth of late nights away in the local children's hospital holding the hand of an angel. At that point we'd just recently begun the journey to adopt a beautiful soul who's differences had led her to be forgotten in a world that is sometimes too big to notice those that need our help the most. On that night, I was feeling overwhelmed and wasn't sure of my own strength.
I remember reading that night, though . . . and reading . . . and reading. And I couldn't stop, because the more I read, the more I remembered the possibilities of our new life.
But what compelled me to finally comment tonight after all of these months of inspiration--is your amazing Dad. . . Rik, your words to a stranger were nothing short of exquisite. You are such a strong soul and I've come to find myself searching through the comments specifically for your words. I wish you had a book. The only problem with that would be that I'd gobble it up in a night and then wish you had another. Maybe a blog would suffice in the meantime . . .? :)
Thanks to this whole family, who I've come to fall in love with. Thanks for opening up to us and revealing your inner souls through your amazing words. You've captivated my heart so deeply on multiple occasions. And I SO appreciate what you are doing for angels that are born a little differently. I smile as I read about your followers rejoicing in Nella's waves and appreciating her glasses, partially because I'm rejoicing as well, but also because I know that if that person runs into my bubblegum-pink-rimmed angel, they'll be that much more accepting. Kudos Kelle. You are one of a kind!
And Cathy, I pray that you will find peace as you go through this journey your on. I remember a song we used to sing at Bible camp. It had the line, "Break my heart. Tear my barriers down". I pray that as part of your heart breaks, you will find the glue to build yourself stronger and come out better for it.
Love and Hugs all around!

Oh Becky, thank you for your kind words...and you are right, when we open our brokenness to repair, that "weld" is even stronger and we will never break there again! Enjoy October today--it was 42 degrees here this morning...Farenheit for our international readers! Cuddle Alert!

how do you keep your heart from turning cold when you feel so betrayed by the one person you felt would never betray you.
Jesus forgave his betrayers- but hes JESUS. - October 3, 2010 at 6:24 AM
- Purple2000 said...
I love, love, love your blog. You are an inspiration and your girls are lovely.
- October 3, 2010 at 6:34 AM
- Rik said...
To turn your heart cold is the ordinary response...anybody can do that, and it puts the betrayer in the win column...they draw us into their realm. To cling to what it good and right, to stay open and able to love, to even risk being vulnerable again makes us the winner as we go on and leave behind the brutal and the betrayers. They can't come with us. They don't have the heart for it. You have it in you. Maybe it is the JESUS in us...that would be my belief, but I know others beyond my tradition who also find that heart, choose that heart and turn up the heat, chasing the chill away. Like I said, you are in my heart and prayers. Be sure to send that comment, it's coming, where you tell us life's beauty is returning. - October 3, 2010 at 6:48 AM

Love the glitter on the pumpkin...go Lainey. Those were so good! Nella is adorable in those itty bitty glasses. Love the video. It's fun hearing your voice. Sooo makes blogging more personal. Now I know how your voice sounds. It's like I know you for real;)

And by the way... I just bought little pumpkins for my kids to decorate and I did not buy one for my 18 month old 'he's too little' I thought.

My husband and I have had a scary and tear filled week in and out of the hospital, nervously monitoring our fresh and high risk pregnancy.
After reading your post, I led him over to the computer and promised him a moment of pure joy. We held hands and laughed, thankful for the release, as we watched your sweet Nella wave and giggle.
I'm incredibly grateful for the much needed dose of "glass half full- maybe even overflowing" that I get everytime I visit your world.
Thank you for reminding me that there will always be a reason to smile. xxo - October 3, 2010 at 12:03 PM

This to is my favorite time of year! It's cooled down quite a bit here in Georgia, chilly at night, but still warm in the day time. I have forced fall upon us all though. Dressing the kids in hoodies and tights, I hope mother nature will see our passion for it, and give it to us at full force! These pictures of Nella are my absolute favorite to date. Your girls are beautiful, and as always, your words are an inspiration!

Thank you so much for using your gift, and for sharing it with us! I was happy to tell a mother of a baby with downsyndrome about you, cant wait for her to read your stories!

5 Questions for Sundance Winner, Lucy Alibar
Lucy Alibar's latest project, Beasts of the Southern Wild, has already received one of the highest honors the film world can bestow -- the grand jury prize at Sundance -- and now there's Oscar buzz. (You can watch the trailer here.) We had a chance to chat with Lucy, ask her about the upcoming film, and what she's working on now.
What was your writing process to turn Juicy and Delicious (a play) into Beasts of the Southern Wild (a film)?
Location was so important to both pieces. Juicy and Delicious takes place in south Georgia -- I saw the aurochs coming out of the red clay and making their way towards this family on the verge of extinction. Benh Zeitlin, my dear friend and brilliant director, wanted to set the story in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, where the erosion is so severe that the land is sinking into the water. Hushpuppy's losing what made her, at least physically, and struggling with how to keep her father and her home in her spirit. I spent a year traveling back and forth from the bayou and New Orleans to make Hushpuppy's story a part of this beautiful, haunting place.
Are you working on any plays right now? If not, what are you working on?
I'm writing a piece about my dad and my brother that I love so much, and can't wait to show y'all. It's very funny, and sweet, and giving me a lot of joy as I write it.
How did you start writing?
My mom gave me and my brothers crayons to draw with, when we were little, and my brothers were really good at drawing. I wasn't.
What do you read to get inspired?
Breece D'J Pancake, Kevin Wilson, Joy Williams, Flannery O'Connor.
What is your favorite southern turn of phrase (colloquialism)?
"Well, hell."
-- Lucy Alibar (a.k.a. Lucy Alibar-Harrison). Lucy Alibar's other plays include A Friend of Dorothy, Home Baking Made Easy, Gorgeous Raptors and Mommy Says I'm Pretty on the Insides. Ms. Alibar is an Affiliated Artist of New Georges and a member of EST's Youngblood. She does lots of fun things with choreographer Brian Maloney and Slant Theatre Project. Ms. Alibar loves dinner parties, Dreamgirls, and the Russian-Turkish baths.

I judge my runs the way I judge my first dates.
By which I mean...it all comes down to the first five minutes.
My roommates are always raising their eyebrows at this philosophy. You can't just know, they say.
Oh. But I can.
Call it female intuition. Or runner's gut instinct. (Or some kind of psychotic condition.)
But in the first five minutes, I know whether I'm going to want you to give me a kiss goodnight. And whether I'm going to kiss you back (or, you know...make out with you in a bar until 12:45. AM.) when you inevitably try.
(no comment)
And then there's running. The most abusive, wonderful, awful, most fulfilling relationship you might ever have.
It can tear you down. And walk all over you.
It can give you the worst 8 mile run of your life one week.
And then the best 9 mile run of your life the next.
Without warning or explanation. And all you can do is lace up your sneakers. Hit the pavement. And hope for the best.
And while I will never advise you to stay in a relationship that just not.worth.it. I am going to tell you that running (or insert your exercise of choice here). Is.
When it's bad, it's awful. But when it's good...it's the best.
I came home from my run yesterday practically walking on water. And I knew that no matter what the rest of the day had in store for me. It was already awesome. And then I had a good first date. Which was like more icing on an already frosted cake. Always a good thing.
(And, yes. It all came down to those first five minutes.)
So I guess my Eat.Live.Be. moral of the week is: don't give up. Don't give up on yourself and don't give up on exercise (and don't give up on men). This week may be awful. But next week might be awesome. And don't you owe it to yourself to stick around long enough to find out?
At my last physical therapy appointment last week, my PT asked why I had kept running that eight miles even though it was so terrible. And it was because I knew that if I got through that run, there would be a better one on the horizon. There had to be.
And I was right.
Bok Choy and Baked Tofu Stir-Fry in a Ginger-Citrus Sauce
Serves 4, adapted from Fat Free Vegan Kitchen
- 1 1/2 lb bok choy
- 1 14-oz package lite firm tofu, baked
- 1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp maple syrup (or honey or agave)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1/4 tsp dark sesame oil
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 large carrot, cut into matchsticks
- 1 tbsp minced ginger
- 1 can water chestnuts, slivered
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 4 roasted sweet potatoes, or rice, barley, quinoa, etc
- Wash the heads of the bok choy well and trim the bottom. Cut the bottom, whitish part of the stalk into 1/2-inch slices. Set them aside. Slice the green leaves thinly and place on a separate plate.
- Cut the tofu into slices or cubes. Combine the orange juice, soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a bowl.
- Heat a large wok or deep skillet. Spray with cooking spray. Add the bok choy stalks, carrot, and ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Add water chestnuts, garlic, and mushrooms, and continue to cook until mushrooms begin to soften, about 2 more minutes. Stir in the bok choy greens. Place the tofu on top and cover tightly. Steam briefly until greens are wilted and bright green, about 1-2 minutes. Stir the orange juice mixture, add it to the skillet and bring to a boil. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 30 seconds. Serve with sweet potatoes, rice, or other grain.

Welcome Guest
Microsoft creates Kinect-like system using your laptop built-in speaker and microphone
Microsoft Research, working with the University of Washington, has developed a Kinect-like system that uses your computer\'s built-in microphone and speakers to provide object detection and gesture recognition, much in the same way that a submarine uses sonar.
Called SoundWave, the new technology uses the Doppler effect to detect any movements and gestures in the proximity of a computer. The Doppler effect, if you remember high school physics, is where the frequency of a sound alters depending on your distance from it �\" the Doppler effect describes the change of a police car siren's pitch as it moves towards you and then recedes into the distance. In the case of SoundWave, your computer's built-in speaker is used to emit ultrasonic (18-22KHz) sound waves, which change frequency depending on where your hand (or body) is in relation to the computer. This change in frequency is measured by your computer's built-in microphone, and then some fairly complex software works out your motion/gesture. Now, the obvious advantage of SoundWave over a product like Kinect is that it uses existing, commodity hardware; it could effectively equip every modern laptop with a gesture-sensing interface. The flip side, though, is that SoundWave, with a single sound source and microphone, isn't going to allow for the same kind of accurate, 3D sensing that Kinect, Sony Move, or Wii Motion can provide with cameras and stereo IR sensors. Watching the SoundWave video though (embedded below), basic motion detection has already been achieved with a very simple hardware setup. The most obvious example is a laptop that automatically locks when you move away from it, and unlocks when you return �\" but it seems that the software is already advanced enough to detect up/down and left/right swipes of the hand. The system\'s accuracy, according to the research paper, is between 90 and 100%, even in noisy environments. In one example, some fairly complex hand gestures are used to control the rotation and descending of Tetris blocks. If you added another ultrasonic sound source, and a few more microphones (many laptops already have microphone arrays anyway), SoundWave could probably replicate Kinect very well. The video also makes clear, however, that waving your hands around �\" when the keyboard is right there �\" is a little bit foolish. Still, SoundWave is a freebie �\" it doesn't interfere with any other sounds played by the computer (you can listen to music while SoundWave is active), and there's no reason why laptops shouldn't come with SoundWave preinstalled. Who knows �\" maybe SoundWave could provide a cheaper option for developing countries, or perhaps it could simply augment Kinect to provide greater accuracy over a wider range of motions/gestures. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/...cue/soundwave/

The Freebok Home section contains pages where you can manage the settings of your Freebok user account. These settings include your own information, privacy settings, credits and other miscellaneous settings. Additionally, this is the place where you manage your buddy list, read your private messages and send messages to other Freebok users.
Propably the single most important settings of a user account are the secret question and the related secret answer. These settings will become important should you forget your password and a replacement password cannot be sent to the private email address defined for your account (that's why you should keep the private email address up to date). In a case like this a replacement password can be sent to an email address you choose, but only if you have defined the secret question and answer, and remember the answer correnctly. Defining the secret answer should be one of the first things you do after creating a user account, as this is the only way of getting a new password, when your old email address is not functional.
The settings page has several options that you can modify, such as the language and locale settings and inline help and sidebar visibility.
Because of the discussion and buddy features (more about them later) it would be desirable for all users to provide some information about themselves. Many users think that it's nicer to have a discussion when you know more about the other party than just the username. For this purpose each user has a profile page that can be found at
The contents of the user profile depends on user's Privacy Settings and what has been defined in the User Information page. Besides the user information, the profile page may list user's buddies, guestbooks and forums.
Providing your personal information to Freebok is optional so you can appear anonymously if you wish to do so. Alternatively you can limit the display of your information by using the Privacy settings. One option is to show your information only to users on your buddy list, for example.
Other users can send private messages to you from your profile page. You can read these messages from the Messages and Events page. You may receive different kinds of notifications to the message list as well; for example, a notification will be sent to you if another user wants to add you to her buddy list. You can accept or reject the request directly from the list.
You can use the messages page to reply to the messages you have received and write new messages to other Freebok users.
The Freebok Buddy List is a sort of an address book of the user names of users you meet on the discussion forums. It's easy to send private messages directly from the Buddy List, and you'll also see when your buddies are online.
You can manage forum settings from this page when you join a Freebok forum.
The forum feature is under testing and not publicitely available at the moment.
The Sidebar appears on the side of each Freebok page and contains different kinds of tools. The sidebar takes some space, so you can hide it if you wish to free that space for the main page contents. Most of the sidebar tools are available only for logged in users.
These are some of the tools available at the moment:
Site SettingsThe Site Settings tool allows you to change settings that affect the Freebok site.
NotificationsThe Notification tool will tell you when you have new messages.
ShortcutsWith the Shortcuts tool you can make direct links to the Freebok pages that you use most often.

Location: Porsche / Cars / All Boxster Ads |

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2003 Boxster S for sale. 3.2L H6 mated to a close ratio 6 speed manual transmission. 51km (32K miles). This car is mint and never winter driven. This car is a dream to drive and sounds really throaty with a Borla exhaust. For 2003 the Boxster was updated all around with sleeker cosmetic features, a more powerful engine and a rear glass window with defrost. This is a low mileage late model Boxster for a great price. This car needs nothing. Vehicle is located in Regina, SK Canada. I am selling the Boxster S (reluctantly) because I have a wedding to pay for. This car has been responsibly driven by a non smoking adult. Asking 25,000 obo. See link below for pics. http://www.nightontown.com/tmp/Boxster/Boxster%20Website/2003%20Porsche%20Boxster%20S.htm |
