Happy Birthday Jacob!
Well my baby boy is offically four years old. Time really flies by too fast, and our kids really grow up too fast. I have made a montage of Jacob over the last four years. I have to warn all of you though it is quite lengthy, it's over five minutes. But I'm sure you'll enjoy every second of it. I put a lot of time into it and really should've started working on it before Jacob's birthday but it's finally done.
Hope everyone had a Great Christmas. We had a wonderful Christmas and Jacob had a wonderful birthday as well. There's a few pictures in the montage from Christmas, at some point I will try and add more Christmas pics. We had Jacob's four year pics done yesterday at The Picture People they came out fantastic he looks like such a little man. My baby is a big boy now. Hope everyone enjoys........

Presents Under the Tree
I don't know about you all but I've never not had presents under the Christmas tree this close to Christmas. In the fourteen years that Joe and I have been together we have never not had presents under the tree with only 5 days left till Christmas. Even in the last four years with kids we've never been this late. Well I'm glad to say that finally last night we put a few presents under the tree. None of the presents are from us. We received our package from Grandma/Grandpa, my Mom and Dad last night so we put those presents under the tree. We also had our dinner at our friends in Sterling last night. You know the one that was catered from Outback Steakhouse for our team raising the most money at the Reston Light the Night Walk . So we came home with a couple gifts from Nancy for the kids.The dinner was great by the way and it was a nice time for visiting with friends. Also today when we got home from a short trip out we had a package on the step from Joe's sister and family. So the tree is finally starting to look like it's almost Christmas. How's everyone else doing with the whole present wrapping thing? I haven't wrapped anything for the kids or Joe the only gifts I've wrapped are for presents I had to get in the mail and I didn't do that until yesterday. Hope every one's having fun getting ready for Christmas.

That's where Joe and I were Monday night in D.C at The Uptown Theatre. Before we went to the movie we ate dinner at The Cheesecake Factory just a few miles up the road from the theatre. The CCF is one of our favorite places to eat and we really don't get to eat there as often as we used to since we don't live as close anymore. After dinner we hopped on the Metro and rode it three stations down to the Theatre. We don't really get to the movies too often especially without the kiddos. The last movie we saw was the Harry Potter movie that came out over the summer. But the movie that we saw before that without any kids was "ELF" with Will Ferrell, I believe I was pregnant with Jacob then. This was also the first time Joe and I went to any movie where there was free popcorn, soda and water. It was great all the popcorn,water and soda we wanted, we were like kids he,he! One other cool thing was that one of the Executive Vice Presidents for Disney was there at this screening. He did a little speech before the movie along with the Librarian of Congress but I have since forgotten the VP's name,opps! As for the movie it was great if you haven't seen the first one watch it first. It's not totally necessary but it doesn't hurt to watch it. Joe and I watched #1 for a refresher on Saturday evening. All in all we had a really great date night together, one that was well deserved. After we left the movie and hopped back on the metro we made a quick stop at the Cheesecake Factory for some dessert to eat on the way home. My favorite cheese cake is The Chocolate Tuxedo Cheesecake and no at this price I did not get the whole thing. I had a slice of that one and Joe had a slice of Craig's Crazy Carrot Cake Cheesecake, he always likes to try a different one, I like to stick with my favorite.

Allergic Reaction........
*Updated (on Bottom)*
Allergic reaction yes, that's right an allergic reaction for Mommy. Someone who has never in my life as long as I can remember had an allergic reaction to anything. Last night my arms started itching a little while Joe and I were at the movies. I itched them and that was that they didn't bother me anymore.This morning I woke up to my arms itching like crazy, then my legs and then my stomach and so on. My whole body itches...I called my Dr. and they had no openings so they suggested I go to Urgent Care. So off I went. The Dr. there told me there was really no way to know what my reaction was to but gave me a steroid shot and a prescription for more steroids. By process of elimination Joe and I decided it had to be the new perfume I tried at the mall yesterday. Since I sprayed it on my arms first and that's where the rash started. So I've had my shot and taken one pill and I'm still itching like crazy but trying to ignore it. I am going to try and go to work and just ignore it some more we'll see if I can make it through the night.
I know that everyone was probably expecting my next post to be about Jacob's Birthday Party and I promise that post is coming soon. I also have to post about the fantastic date and movie premiere Joe and I went to last night. Hope everyone is doing better than I am until later....
Okay so I made it through the night at work but, barely. I could not do my usual job of CSM you know standing around waiting for someone to need me or sometimes running around from one end of the store to the next. This was just not good for me the more I stood the more I itched. So after I decided this I made yet another trip over to the pharmacy to talk to the pharmacist yet again. First he asked me how I was doing I said not so good still itching REALLY BAD! He said have you taken a pill yet? Why yes I have and still no relief. I then said is there anything else I can take or put on this crap to help it? And he unfortunately Jamie since the steroid shot and pills have not given you any relief it's very unlikely that any OTC cream will do anything for you but you're more than welcome to try. So I opted not to waste my money on something that was probably not going to work. I decided that the best thing for me to do was to stay so busy that I wouldn't notice that my skin was itching like crazy, so I got on a register and cashiered for the entire night except for my break time. Let me tell you it was great while I was on that register but that little bit of time that I was off the register was complete torture. But enough about that I have a Dr. appointment with a dermatologist on Thursday am I was thinking of cancelling it earlier today but after tonight no way. I have now at this point and time taken TWO pills plus the shot and two showers, one with some anti itch oil crap and still NO Relief. So if ANYONE out there has any suggestions I'll take them. Thanks so much!

Proof that she really does talk
I know most of you think that my baby girl is this shy little girl who just smiles all the time.Well I'm here to tell ya she really does talk and Daddy got me some proof to show all of you. Please take note of the wonderful Narrator/word prompter, Daddy. First I am going to warn you it is a little long almost 2 minutes. But it is so worth watching the whole thing cause Jenna is just too cute.Secondly the quality isn't the greatest cause we had to reduce the size for One True Media. I hope everyone enjoys this little video of Jenna.Hopefully, everyone in the family will get a look at the video. I know that it won't be long before Jenna will officially be named Magpie#3 from my Grandma and Grandpa. A little history if you will....When I was about 9 years old I spent what was supposed to be two weeks with my grandparents and my aunt who is five years older than me. The two weeks turned into two months of the summer. Well by the end of the summer I had talked so much that my grandparents nick named me Magpie. Then along came my cousin Ashlee who is now 15 and she has been named Magpie#2. So it's only fitting that my baby girl be named Magpie#3 and from the looks of where she's at now she's going to be quite the talker just like her Mommy. So here you go enjoy..................

Busy,Busy Times........
Wow, what a week we've had so far. And it's only Tuesday, well technically by the time I finish this post it will be Wednesday. The week has started out like any other week nice and normal. I'm going to warn all of you about to read this I tend to go on and on sometimes and this is probably going to be a long and not so interesting post:)
Saturday Joe, myself, and the kids just hung out the house most of the day. Saturday evening Nana watched the kids for Joe and I and we went out to dinner to one of our favorite places to eat here in town Sansui, and then we did a little Christmas shopping and grocery shopping at Wal-Mart. We had a lovely dinner, it was nice to have some alone time. Now on to Sunday....Well I woke up at 3:00am with one of the worst migraine headaches ever. I made a trip to the bathroom and spent some quality time with the toilet if you get my drift. Back to bed only to wake up from my alarm at 7:15am. I got out of bed only long enough to call in to work and tell them I would not be coming in, my head was still killing me. So back to sleep, sleeping is usually the best thing for me when I have a migraine. I slept until Noon, yep Noon only to wake up with still a bit of my headache there. Daddy and Jacob were baking some yummy cookies when I came downstairs. I think I spent most of the day on the couch trying not to move to much and eventually that evening my headache finally went away. This is good right?
Onto Monday I had to wake up just a little earlier than usual to take Nana to the airport. Upon my first trip to the bathroom that morning I found myself in some of the worst pain I have felt. Long story short, take Nana to the airport,come home sit down to lunch with the kids and then back into the car and off to the Dr's for Mommy. So I have a pretty bad(as the Dr put it) Urinary track infection, YUCK! So off to Wal-Mart to get my prescription filled, oh and to tell them yet again I will not be coming to work. Count um that's two days now this week that I've missed for different illnesses.
Now onto Tuesday with hopes that my antibiotics have started to kick in, I wake up to my poor baby boy having a horrible bark and asking me for water. I was supposed to have a Dr's appointment today but I didn't want to take Jacob out with this cough so I rescheduled for Friday. Jacob has had medicine all day, we don't want a sick birthday boy for his party on Saturday. I barely know that its Tuesday I am totally off on my days since I missed two days of work.
Now for the rest of the week there's at least one thing going on everyday. Wednesday Jacob has his weekly speech therapy, then Mommy has a meeting at work.Thursday I have another Dr's appointment. Let's see Friday we have our bi-weekly play date at one of the neighbors and then yes another Dr's appointment. Really for those of you counting I am okay just routine things at the Dr's. Oh and yes and some time in between all of this I am supposed to finish my Christmas shopping for our family that we have to send packages to. Oh and let's not forget at some point I also have to clean the house since we're having Jacob's Scooby Doo birthday party at the house on Saturday. Jacob is so very excited for his party everyday he asks me, my birthday mama? So there it is our busy busy week, yikes! But on another note Joe took the cutest video of Jenna just talking away. I'm going to try and post it one other day this week. I hope everyone else is not having as crazy of a week as us.

My Princess is 18 Months Old.....
Yep you read that right my baby girl is 18 months old as of yesterday Dec 5th. Can you believe it? I sure can't. Time just flies by way to fast especially when they're this young. It seems like it wasn't that long ago that we were celebrating Jenna's First Birthday. Where does time go? So on to the all important statistics of my growing girl. Her weight is 18lbs and12oz. For those of you keeping track that's a weight gain of 1lb 4oz from her last check up at 15 months. Jenna is still in the negative side of the percentile chart. But as the Dr said before she's still growing and she's on her own little curve just below the curve of the regular scale. We're still gonna have to wait little while longer before we can turn her car seat around. I am hoping that if she keeps growing at this rate she will be 20lbs by March and then she'll be sitting forward like her big brother. She is now a tall 30 1/2 inches that's a growth of 1/2 inch from her last checkup. Today for the very first time ever our pediatrician who I love (none of the other Dr's in our practice, have ever done this) said if she had to guess Jenna's height she would guess that she's going to be around 5' 3" or 5'4". So she's gonna be taller than Mommy. How about that? Not by much,but if she's right she said she thinks she's definitely gonna be taller than me. That really doesn't surprise me though because I am the shortest one in my family (Mom,Dad, and Brother). Our Dr has been saying all along that she was going to be petite like Mommy. Jenna had to have 3 shots today my poor baby. Two normal ones for 18 months and the third one was her Flu shot.
We also decided to have Jacob get his Flu shot today. It was really pretty sad because this was the first time he had a shot where he really was aware that it was coming. Today was also his first shot in his arm. Mommy held onto him tight and he only cried for a second when it went in. Sorry that I changed the subject from Jenna so quickly but, do you all realize that Christmas is just 19 days away? Do you realize what else that means? My baby boy is going to be FOUR in just 19 days. Like I said before where does time go? Tomorrow is Friday and I'm off Yes! Happy Friday everyone!

It's Snowing!!!
Well the weather man was finally right for once when he predicted snow. I don't know how long it will snow for or how much we will actually get but we are getting our first snow of the season. I am enjoying just being able to stay in the house and watching it snow from the inside. Jacob was supposed to have his weekly speech today but the school's on early dismissal so I've opted not to take both the kids out in this cold weather. What I have attempted to do today however is take some pictures of the kids for our Christmas cards that I should have started at least a week ago. And I have to say I'm having just about as much luck as K over at The Abel Boys. What a chore it has been, Jacob is being such a good big brother is sitting patiently waiting for Jenna to cooperate for Mommy. Wait till everyone sees what a big boy my Jacob looks like in his cute little outfit Mommy picked out for their pictures. And well Jenna just looks like my little princess as usual, but a non cooperative one. Hope everyone is staying warm and cozy and enjoying this weather from the inside.

A Visit With Santa.......
On this past Friday Daddy and I decided to take the kids to the Dulles Town Center mall to get the kids picture taken with Santa. Yes there are no smiles but at least there no screaming children either. Most of you know we did not get a picture of Santa last year with the kids together. As Jacob sat for one picture and only one picture of Santa and he was by himself. Yes we did visit several Santa's I think I lost count at about 10 visits. Needless to say I am very happy that we got a picture of both of them on Santa's lap together. Jenna wasn't really sure and kept looking at Santa's beard but she looked at the camera long enough to get this picture snapped.
And then there was conversation...
After the picture taking was done Santa said to Jacob "Jacob, have you been a good boy this year?"and Jacob quietly replied with a yes. Then Santa said "Well Jacob what would you like Santa to bring you this year?" Jacob then said "A Match Box shark and a Match Box Octopus" Then Santa said "Is there anything else you would like?" and Jacob said "No just those two things."It really was the cutest this is the first year that Jacob has told Santa what he wants for Christmas. These two things are toys that he's been looking at every time we go into a Target or a Wal-Mart. After they were done Santa said to Jacob "What does your sister Jenna want for Christmas?" And almost at the same time they both said a baby. It was just too cute to hear them both say Jenna wanted a baby. Then before leaving Santa told Jacob that he had to be a GOOD boy for the next three weeks if he wanted Santa to bring those two toys. He also told Jacob that he would need to be a good big brother for the next three weeks. My baby is getting to be such a BIG boy in just 22 days he's going to be 4 years old.
Hope everyone had a good weekend and is getting the rest of their decorating done.Oh and of course your Christmas shopping done too. I am done decorating but not nearly done Christmas shopping. I am happy to say though I did get out and buy some of the party supplies for Jacob's up and coming party. I also did get the invites in the mail so hopefully I've given everyone enough notice. Jacob is soooooo excited about his Scooby Doo birthday party. Every morning when we wake up he asks me if it's his birthday yet. He's just too cute!

Welcome to Jourdemayne for commentary on the supernatural, folklore and skepticism.
If you'd like to root around for stuff on Monsters & Folklore, Modern Witch Beliefs, Politics & Religion and more, go to previous posts. It may surprise you how much our human capacity to believe in the supernatural remains as relevant today as it ever was.
|I'll be doing more talks with Funzing this Halloween – visit again soon for details.
|The Enfield 'Poltergeist' – the latest for The GuardianA couple of years ago I was asked to appear on ITV's This Morning to discuss the Enfield 'poltergeist'. It's not an unusual request per se: as editor of The Skeptic I get to be the freethinker-du-jour in various media from time to time.But there were two things that made this one odd. The first was that the focus of the famous 1977-79 'poltergeist' case – Janet Hodgson – was making a rare public appearance. (She has appeared in a documentary or two and had been filmed heavily in shadow for Jane Goldman Investigates but doesn't make a habit of it.
Secondly, I was asked by the producers to be very gentle with her, to try to keep to the principles of how people can come to believe in the supernatural when ghosts – in all probability – don't exist … more
|Latest: Porn in depth … or maybe notAbout ten years ago I was making a composite Photoshop graphic and wanted the naked torso of a woman to start. Lucky old me – my other half is a sculptor with loads of photographic reference. "I need a picture of a woman's breasts, this sort of shape, this sort of angle" I said to him, confused by his slackening jaw. "Deb" he replied, "you must be the only person I know with an internet connection who doesn't know how to find tits."Fair enough … I've got better at it. I think we can agree the internet has boobs aplenty, although accurately measuring porn traffic and content is problematic. So all that bandwidth isn't devoted to watching kittens after all.
The subject of Tyger Drew-Honey's recent BBC3 Tyger Takes On … was porn – specifically, the effect it may be having upon his generation. Better known to most … more
|Numinous Neuroses?Is your religious style related to your mental health?The British Journal of Psychiatry published an interesting paper on their website in November but, to judge by the recent coverage, the PR has only just hit the newsrooms.
Professor Michael King and his team looked at people with differing supernatural beliefs – no beliefs; conventional religious and 'spiritual' – to see whether there were any correlations between these states of belief and mental illness in Religion, spirituality and mental health: results from a national study of English households. They found that: "Spiritual people were more likely than those who were neither religious nor spiritual … to have abnormal eating attitudes … generalised anxiety disorder … any phobia … or any neurotic disorder … They were also more likely to be taking psychotropic medication".
Not good for the 'spiritual' people then. … more
|What's the Harm?It is very hard not to feel the deepest sympathy for everybody involved in the Neon Roberts case. Neon's story hit the headlines earlier this month when a judge took the highly unusual step of identifying him publicly to help him to be located after his mother had taken him to prevent radiotherapy following surgery.Neon has medulloblastoma. I'm not a cancer-specialist but you can search for information on it easily enough. It's a serious condition, which seems to have a serious chance of a cure … provided the help gets to you before the rapidly developing tumour does. It's a metastatic cancer which means that it can spread easily, in this case, through the rest of the brain and spine, which is presumably why it is necessary to deliver radiotherapy to the whole brain rather than just the operation site … more
|Latest piece for The Guardian – Vampire legends that refuse to dieLast week the Daily Mail informed us that the notorious Serbian vampire Sava Savanović was reportedly on the loose again after the old mill he haunts in Zarožje, Bajina Bašta, had collapsed.Savanović isn't well known outside his own country – I only know of him as a pre-Dracula, 19th century literary character – but according to the Mail the local council has advised people to use the traditional repellents of garlic and crucifixes, just in case.
A piece in the Austrian Times pre-dates the Mail's, and may be the conduit westwards. If so, it's a curious echo of the vampire motif's first journey into English in the 1720s and '30s, courtesy of the Austrian Empire's military successes against the Turkish Empire in the Balkans … more
|The Guardian – Skeptics, nerds and atheists are on the march across the USEvents for skeptics such as this weekend's Skepticon are a sign of growing resistance to the power of religion in AmericaIf I were inclined to perceive and react to divine signs I would probably have got the message by now: someone would rather I stayed away from this atheist convention. I'm in New York City, en route to Skepticon, the annual skeptics convention now in its fifth year, which is held on the campus of Missouri State University … more
|SFX Special Edition 'The A to Z of Horror'I'm on pages 86 to 91 of this lovely SFX Special Editionon the A to Z of Horror. Vicar Carolyn Simcox and I discuss religion in films, and we don't disagree as might as you might think.I got to discuss 'The Exorcist' and 'The Wicker Man', and included 'Scobby Doo' for good skeptical measure. This one was a lot fo fun for me, as I got to talk about both my love of horror and my love of the rational approach.
Available at all good newsagents.
|Latest Blogpost: 'Setting Own Goals?'An only half-serious memoir of flailing, derision, ostracism and black-eyes …At school I was OK at maths and English, so it didn't bother me much that I turned into a prototype dodo during PE. My parents, friends and especially netball team-mates totally accepted that I just wasn't a sporty type. Chief among the unbagsied, I was usually inflicted upon whichever team complained least loudly, and my impotent flailing confined to the back of the gym/pitch/court read more …
|Previous Blogpost: 'Psychics and Princes'My great-grandmother was psychic.
Everybody knew it. If a member of her extended family paid an impromptu visit from even a great distance, like London, they were greeted with a friendly smile and a dinner that was already virtually at the table. "I knew you were coming", she'd say. She was known for having 'a way' with animals, to the extent that she could pick up and offer comfort to a dog who had been fatally injured in the street, without getting bitten.
She was never subject to rigorous testing for her gift, and that was a blessing really. To have had it revealed that meals cooked for large families inconspicuously subdivide to accommodate unexpected guests, or that … more
|Previous Blogpost: 'High Stakes'I couldn't let the discovery of staked corpses by archeologists in Bulgaria pass without commenting why staking was thought to be so effective:The more observant of you will have noticed that vampires have been in the news. No, not bankers. Although the droll current-affairs metaphor does apply, Voltaire got there first: describing the vampires he had seen in London and Paris in his Dictionaire Philosophique, he wrote "there were stock-jobbers, brokers, and men of business, who sucked the blood of the people in broad daylight; but they were not dead, though corrupted. These true suckers lived not in cemeteries, but in very agreeable places."

Brian Kelly has insisted that the Notre Dame football team is focusing on football. However, thoughts of the tragic death of Declan Sullivan are never far away.
Kelly said that it had been "a tough 10 days" but he insisted that the team would pull through. He said "The practice field, for us, has really been a safe haven, if you will, in the sense that we can go out and practice and focus on football."
On Thursday, Armando Allen's hip surgery officially finished his career with Notre Dame. He is still awaiting surgery on his other hip.
"There were a lot of things that showed that maybe this was an injury he has had for many, many, many years," said Kelly.
The rumors that Dayne Crist might be transferring after a second season-ending has been called preposterous. Kelly said "All I know for sure is that he'll be back and then, just like everybody else on this football team, will be evaluated day to day as to how we can put the best 22 guys on the field."
On Thursday, Brian Kelly had no answers for his team or the press on the investigation in to the accident, involving an overturned scissors lift during practice, which killed Declan Sullivan. It has been confirmed that there will be a continued non-use of scissors lifts during practice.
Athletic director Jack Swarbrick told USA Today that he has "been at practice where a coach has brought (the lifts) down" in inclement conditions. Kelly avoided referring to whether or not the coaches are responsible.
Kelly said "Everybody uses common sense…I remember many, many times in my career telling a guy to get the heck down because there was lightning in the area.
"I think I moved a water cooler, one of those ice-cold water things, I moved two of those today that were too close to the playing field. Everybody is cognizant of safety."

ASUS has announced that its GTX Titan, the fastest single GPU card on the market, has broken four 3DMark world records. The cards were assisted by the expertise of ASUS' in-house overclocking experts, Andre Yang and Shamino.
With the Titan, ASUS was able to achieve a 3DMark11 entry preset score of 36658, performance preset score of 37263, and extreme preset score of 22076. It also set a new world record for 3DMark's Fire Strike benchmark with a score of 21818.
The system consisted of four ASUS GTX Titan cards overclocked and cooled with liquid nitrogen, an ROG Rampage IV Extreme motherboard, and an Intel Core i7-3970X processor. To learn more about the records or system, you can check out Futuremark's Hall of Fame.

Here it is, my last post before going on vacation!
The last couple of days I've been cleaning the house
and writing endless instructions for the kitty-sitter.
I really don't like leaving my kitties for 10 days :(
it makes me sad. But I know I'm going to have good
times in BELGIUM! Every year we go to a big villa in
Belgium with a big group of friends. All of my closest
friends are in this group and I love having them a couple
of doors next to me in the Villa! This year we are leaving
with 22 peeps! Every year there are some newbies in the
group and sometimes they stay with us forever :p.
So here is my scrap for this week :)!
I really hope I'll be able to use internet in the Villa...
Last year we had a really crappy connection :(.
So there is a possibility that this blog remains empty
for 10 days! But when I'm back I'll make it up to you
guys, pinky promise :)!
I have one last doodle for you this month! It's July's
last topic; 'hats'! But since I missed the first topic
'friendship', I combined the two of them :)!
Chelsea Ann from Ittybittybirdy asked me to come up with
the topics for August! Isn't that neat? So I'll keep doodling
while I'm in the villa, I just don't know yet if I'll be
able to show you guys! I will try to keep you up to date via
photo's on Flickr, is that an idea? So if your curious,
check in there now and than ;).
Today I'm going to clean some more and of course pack
my bags! This will be tough 'cause I sorta want to
take my entire closet with me, yet only so much can
fit in to my suitcase :(. Ah, a well known woman problem
I guess, right :D?
Bye everyone, seeya in 10 days or so!

Dr. Lucy Jones joined HuffPost Live and HuffPost Science Senior Correspondent Cara Santa Maria today to give the inside scoop on the new earthquake warning technology out of USGS.
Jones revealed that USGS could eventually let people know to duck and cover before the ground beneath their feet starts shaking. "We've reached the point where we can process things so quickly that we have the potential of getting you the information that an earthquake's begun before the waves themselves get to you," said Dr. Jones.
Dr. Jones demonstrated an earthquake early warning system that can give precious seconds of warning before an earthquake reaches you. But the system isn't in place for actual use yet, so Dr. Jones and I got down on the floor to demonstrate what to do in case of an earthquake.
We were also joined by Phil Burns of The American Preppers Network who is prepping for the next big earthquake.

Glastonbury 2017 Best Dressed
We have a confession to make. As much as we talk about festival fashion and occasionally look a little like we're going to one (albeit without the wellies, but some of us do live in band tees) we don't actually do festivals. And certainly not Glastonbury which would appear to equal a mud bath. Maybe it's the camping aspect? Is there a blow dry bar? A guarantee for good weather?

Fisherking has been a staple of the Lansing punk rock scene, releasing a series of melodic hardcore discs, including "2 Songs," the "Forget It" EP and its 2012 LP, "Ghost." However, in late December, the band announced it's breaking up. The Facebook post stated, in part: "It is with heavy hearts that we must announce that Fisherking's days are finally coming to an end. We have been extremely fortunate to have met the best people in the world and shared the stage with the best bands in the world." Fisherking plays its final show Friday at Mac's Bar. Openers are Bike Tuff, React and Dead Hour Noise. In July, Fisherking released "True Nature," a five song EP. That, along with the rest of the band's catalog, is available as free downloads at fisherkingband.bandcamp.com.
John McCutcheon at the Ten Pound Fiddle
Friday, Jan. 27 @ Ten Pound Fiddle — MSU Community Music School, 4930 S. Hagadorn Road, East Lansing. $20/$18 members/$5 students. 7:30 p.m.
Folk songwriter and multi-instrumentalist John McCutcheon has released 38 albums since the 1970s. A master of the hammered dulcimer, McCutcheon also has chops on guitar, banjo, autoharp, mountain dulcimer, fiddle and jawharp. His time as a traveling songsmith has earned him acclaim from the likes of the Washington Post, which dubbed him "folk music's rustic renaissance man." His latest LP, "Trolling for Dreams," features 14 original songs rooted in traditional Appalachian instruments, rhythms and storytelling, but it also enters the realm of heartland-rock music. The six-time Grammy nominee debuted on vinyl back in 1975 with his "How Can I Keep From Singing?" LP on June Appal Recordings. Over the years, he's had a number of records on the noteworthy Rounder Records imprint, which is best known for its Alison Krauss releases.

The group comprises lead singer Meagan Earls, guitarist Will McCullough, bassist/backup vocalist Nick Kressler and drummer Michael Romblom. Keep up with the band at facebook.com/oddsfishmusic. Scary Women, another local female-fronted quartet, also performs. The stripped-down punk-rock outfit has booked steady local gigs since last year and also ventures across Michigan.

The singer-guitarist recently performed Patti Smith's 'Horses' live, in full, at the Melbourne Festival
Courtney Barnett has performed a cover of Patti Smith's 'Redondo Beach.'
The performance took place at a special tribute concert held by Barnett to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Patti Smith's debut album 'Horses.'
Held at Melbourne's Town Hall in October, Barnett played 'Horses' in full and was joined by Jen Cloher, Magic Dirt's Adalita and The Drones' Gareth Liddiard for the one-off show.
Now, Barnett's own label Milk! Records have released footage from the evening, including a full performance of 'Redondo Beach'.
Watch the video below:
Barnett released her debut album 'Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit' in March. Speaking to NME earlier this year, she explained how the LP reflected the last year of her life.
"The album is a general overview of essentially a year of emotions – 12 months of fucking every day day, up, down, up, down. I dunno what a normal person has, but everyday I had a midlife crisis."
Barnett and her band play their biggest UK headline show to date at London's Forum on November 25 with gigs in Wolverhampton, Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow and Bristol also confirmed.
Courtney Barnett will play:
London The Forum (November 25)
Wolverhampton Wulfrun Hall (27)
Manchester The Ritz (30)
Liverpool O2 Academy (December 1)
Glasgow O2 ABC (2)
Bristol O2 Academy (4)

When my father first embarked on a gluten free diet, it was difficult and expensive to maintain. As the years have gone by, though, products are becoming more and more easily available. Not just in health food stores or online, but in mainstream supermarkets and at reasonable prices. And if there is something you can't find (like really yummy hot cross buns and crumpets), you can always get good quality gluten free flour and make it yourself. Options are expanding all the time. And today I found gluten free Weet-Bix from Sanitarium! They're made from sorghum, and they are actually really good. I am so thrilled, because Weet-Bix is one of those things you can't easily make, and I love it.
Tag Archives: gluten free
Gluten Free Tortilla Wrap
A soft, flexible gluten free wrap! Will wonders never cease! And it's really easy.
100 grams gluten free flour
200ml water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
Mix all ingredients well with an electric beater, then leave to sit for 15 minutes.
Heat a little bit of oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Fry 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture for about 2-3 minutes before flipping, and another two minutes on the other side. I had to manually spread the mix out, as it didn't spread out on the pan.
Put onto a wire cooling rack for a couple of minutes, then wrap in cling wrap or foil while still slightly warm, to retain the moisture.
When ready, wrap up your favourite fillings and nom!
Mexican style meat loaf – gluten free
Ok, so maybe I should have photographed this Mexican meat loaf before eating most if, but it was so delicious!
1kg mince beef
1 onion, chopped
1 cup gluten free breadcrumbs
1 cup chunky salsa
1 egg
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon chilli powder
Mix everything together thoroughly and press it all firmly into a big baking dish. Cook at 220 degrees Celsius for 50-60 minutes. Nom!
Kiwi fruit ice cream – gluten free
Home made ice cream! Yes please! This is delicious, I'm really pleased with how well it turned out.
4-6 kiwi fruit
300ml double cream
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
Mash the kiwi fruit well, then mix in 2 tablespoons of the sugar. Put this mix in the fridge for an hour or so to chill.
Beat eggs well, until light and fluffy. Whisk in the rest of the sugar, a bit at a time. Pour in cream and blend well. Add the chilled kiwi fruit and stir well.
Pour entire mixture into a container and put into the freezer. After about two hours, or when it is just beginning to freeze, beat or mix it again. Return to freezer overnight.
I should imagine this recipe would work well with several flavours, replacing the mashed kiwi with mango, banana, or whatever takes your fancy!
Lesson Learnt
I'd stuck with the same brand of flour for so long that I'd forgotten what a difference it can make… So today's lesson is, never again buy F. G. Roberts gluten free plain flour. It just doesn't rise! The bread had adequate yeast and sugar, and the scones had baking powder; both should have risen, and they usually do when made with White Wings flour! Perhaps the most annoying thing is, I bought a 1kg bag of the stuff and still have half left. Maybe I'll make pancakes!
The Newfangled Way
So I tried this bread recipe in the breadmaker instead of doing it by hand. I hoped it would result in a smoother looking loaf, and it exceeded my expectations!
I know there's a lot to be said for the old fashioned ways, but let's not neglect our breadmakers! All I did was chuck all the ingredients in and turn it on – I didn't do any mixing or kneading by hand. The totally lazy way, but still a lovely home-made gluten free loaf of bread.
Gluten Free Small White Loaf
So, the top of this bread looks kind of funky. One day, I will remember to try putting water in the oven; my breads always do this and apparently a lack of steam might be why. However, it tastes delicious! So here it is:
1 tablespoon dried yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon gelatine
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon psyllium husk
1/2 teaspoon citric acid
300 grams plain gluten free flour
2 egg whites
Put 1 cup of lukewarm water in a bowl. Add the yeast, sugar, gelatine, salt, and psyllium. Lightly whisk to mix. Cover, and leave for 15 minutes.
Add citric acid, flour, and egg whites and mix well. Cover and leave for 20 minutes.
Beat for 1 minute, then scrape dough into a small greased bread tin.
Cover and leave for 25 minutes.
Bake at 220 degrees Celsius on a low shelf in the oven. Don't slice until cooled.

OSHA Form 301, Injury and Illness Report, is a form that employers must fill out to document work-related illnesses and injuries. The form, when used with OSHA's Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses helps the employer and OSHA to determine the extent of a specific workplace's work-related incidents.
OSHA requires that employers fill out a Form 301 within seven days of learning of a work-related illness or injury. In some states, an insurance, workers' compensation or other form may be substituted by the employer for the OSHA 301. Employers must keep the form or its equivalent on file for five years following the year the employer fills out the form.

Learn The Dark

Текст, перевод и аккорды "Learn The Dark"
- Tell me whence will I find the passion once lost? May it rise with strength to burn away these synthetic sins of mine away those days by gone... For my demons never rest down here where morbid dreams form reality I don't know who you are nor where you come from I only know of who I am and when my shape is shifting For I have learned the Dark and His neverending quest Down here I never rest Down here in my gloomy depths Where morbid dreams form my reality "they" would never let me slip away... Spirit keep what my flesh cannot I still bleed red No memories, no breath torn apart I will drift till death All these faceless creations they seem to grope along the way Leper guides for us to lead astray to be lost and how to find the Way Days of torture & redeeming pain lies ahead, will I stand or am I to fall? Everything here forced to sustain for my demons never rest down here With nails I masturbate my deepest wounds and ages most profound came to me...

Vegetarians, turn back now. Although, since you're reading a carnivore blog, I'm assuming you have no objection to – or even get some gratification out of – the consumption of large amounts of meat.
Forget ham, turkey, and leg of lamb…the Maasai celebrate with nyama choma. It literally means "roast meat," and throughout their history, the Maasai have perfected this delicacy. Here's how it happens.
Fresh meat – ours was goat, although beef is also traditional – is loaded onto spits, kind of like a giant shishkabobs. The spits are stuck into the ground and bent over a fire. As the meat roasts, the spits are turned so that all the meat is cooked to perfection…the outside is crisp and deliciously caramelized, and the inside is juicy and perfectly tender.
Once it's done, the spit is removed from the fire and stuck in the ground, right in front of you. It's cut off the bone with a panga (Maasai machete), and eaten straightaway. No need for plates, silverware, or extra seasoning. Napkins, while absent from our feast, are definitely a plus.
Since there's no way anyone can actually consume this much goat in one sitting, the leftovers are wrapped up in leaves and taken home. Much more environmentally friendly than Styrofoam or aluminum foil! Just remember to keep your Maasai doggie-bag safely tucked away to avoid losing your leftovers to hungry hyenas.
Simple, traditional, delicious.
Hope your holidays are as happy – and scrumptious – as mine!

Many thanks for hosting me Liz. I really enjoyed the interview.ReplyDelete
I'll certainly ask my wife if you can borrow her for a week. No longer than that though, ok? :)
If you or your readers have any questions I'll be happy to answer them :)
"Writing is an endless pleasure." That is exactly how I feel about reading. Love that.ReplyDelete
Hi Mary.Delete
I love both reading and writing. If I had to choose though it would always be the latter :)
Thank you for commenting.
Thank you for hosting David today.ReplyDelete
Marybelle, thanks so much for dropping by. I would choose writing every time as well. You're welcome, David. If it's not a problem, you can mail your wife to Austria:-). I do promise to return her in a week.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Liz.Delete
I'll send her through next week. Don't keep her longer than you have promised though :)
Thanks again for everything.
New follower from Book Blogs. Hope you'll come by my blog and follow back. ThanksReplyDelete
I hear so many writers talking about the endless marketing as being a real chore...something that keeps them from doing more WRITING. You're lucky that your wife handles that part for you. My husband has supported me in my career by taking on the "house husband" duties. It's wonderful to have that kind of marriage partnership!ReplyDelete
I love to hear that you have 6 rescue cats. We have 3: Missy, Tabi, and Coco. We also have Chewy, who's Missy's offspring, so I guess he might also be called a rescue...since Missy found us when she was "barefoot & pregnant."Replies
Hi Catherine,Delete
You are right, I am very lucky to have my wife's support. In exchange I do the bulk of the household chores. Seems fair :)
Sounds like your husband is one in a million. I'm glad he supports you so well.
Your rescue cats sound lovely. Ours are Kain, Razz, Buggles, Charlie, Bilbo and Frodo. Charlie was the only one we named as the rescue centre had called him John which didn't work for us!

England has such a great tradition of fantasy and sci-fi...do you think there's something about the British sensibility itself that causes that to happen, or do the landscapes inspire otherworldly imagery?ReplyDelete
Great question. I know Tolkien was inspired to build Middle Earth to give Britain its own mythology. We have the Arthurian and Celtic myths but I think he felt there wasn't anything here on as grand a scale as the Greek myths or the Norse tales that inspired his work.ReplyDelete
I think Tolkien set a great benchmark for many writers to follow and there have been many worthy successors and not just in the UK.

I have decided that 2016 is going to be awesome! Because I'm going to make it that way!
I have been in a bit of a funk for some time, lots of crappy stuff and I was (blogger cliche alert!!) having a lush bath and watching Pretty Little Liars this evening and I just had a spark of positivity, of realisation that a lot of how this year goes is totally in my own hands!
An awful lot of the things that have been getting me down are totally within my own control to change!
So here are just a few rambled thoughts!
- I will eat healthier
- I will start to exercise
- I will have a couple of piercings
- I will pay all of my debt off
- I will have pink hair

Story idea submitted by @Fluxuations: Retribution versus revenge
If you looked at Kathy from across the grocery store, or walking down the street, you'd see her sunny exterior, smiling face, and golden yellow eyes. She had a little cat everyone adored; she waved at all the neighbours, gathered your mail, and righted your garbage bins when the raccoons got at them overnight.
If you looked at Kathy up close you'd see the daily façade of sunshine, worry lines flowing into her forced smile like streams coming into a river, and her golden yellow eyes, which darted back and forth whenever she was alone.
Oh, not many people noticed. Some waved back, "Kathy is such a great neighbour," most would exclaim, leaning against their white picket fence – coffee in hand – shooting the shit with a passerby.
Nobody noticed Kathy's bruised forearms, yellow circles matching her eagle-eyes, or old, worn-out baggy clothes. They just saw the mask Kathy wore to hide the abuse.
Phil moved into Kathy's house about a year ago – the wedding was small. They only dated for a few months. The abuse started not long after the marriage. Kathy was afraid to be alone, and Phil needed someone to sponge off of since being let go from his job (multiple jobs if we're being realistic). She bought him a truck, paid all the rent, shopped and paid for groceries, his cell phone bill, and even gave him an allowance for his beer and poker habits.
To be honest, Kathy didn't make that much. She was a clinic receptionist, but the benefits were good and she was in a union. She made bonuses too. So she didn't mind buying Phil the things he asked for it if made him happy. And when Phil was happy he wasn't beating the shit out of her. It was a win-win.
One day, Kathy was getting home from an evening shift at the clinic – was about 1am or so – when she rolled up to her darkened house (why would he bother leaving the light on for her?). She got out and stood on the cracked tar driveway and just stared at the door. Her face was conflicted and emotions pooled in the lines which etched her face.
I live across the street, and also work nights, and was sitting on my porch with a cup of coffee before I headed into the hospital where I worked. "Run!" I whispered out loud, clutching the mug in my hand, leaning in watching the confliction in her face. As if she heard me she turned around and met my worried gaze. For a split second – no longer than an instant – her eyes asked me to help her, to tell her what she should do. As quickly as it happened it ended, and she raised a hand cheerily to me before walking briskly into her house.
I knew all about Phil's type – I saw it all the time in the hospital. I knew the marks, and I recognized the signs. I called the cops so many times when I heard Kathy start screaming, so he started to cover her face with a pillow. I could tell by the burst blood vessels in her eyes from lack of oxygen. I stopped calling the cops then.
The next week I saw Kathy out gardening – a rarity because Phil liked to keep her in the house so nobody else could talk to her. He must be at the bar. She seemed almost happy, digging little holes and dropping in little bundles of daisy roots. I casually sauntered down my driveway to the mailbox, which I opened and stood for a while, painstakingly pouring over ever detail in the redundant spam mailers sent out that week. Every few seconds I'd peer at Kathy through my periphery hoping she'd see me.
After a few minutes of researching spray tans and discount clothing ads I took a risk and walked over. Kathy saw me and smiled meekly as I stopped in front of her daisy mounds.
"Great looking garden Kathy, it's going to look good when it's done." I smiled down at her, prompting a response with my eyes.
"Thanks," she showed a genuine smile, "Daisies are the only thing I can… afford right now." Her smile vanished just as fast as it came, and sadly averted her eyes and grabbed more bundles from a plastic tray to put into the holes she'd dug earlier with a brand new shovel laying by my feet. Her cat darted out of the bushes and rubbed against her faded blue jeans. She smiled once again and lovingly scratched under its chin before it zipped off again. As she reached for more daisies I noticed the splint on her ring and forefingers. Black and blue bruising seeped from under them up her wrist. Emotion made my heart clench.
"Kathy…" I reached into my wallet and retrieved my business card and handed it to her dirty gloves. "If you need anything let me know. Shrink's aren't all bad." I forced a quick chuckle as I looked down at her studying the card carefully. She caught my gaze and returned it hopelessly, without a word exchanged, I said goodbye and walked back to my place.
The next few days I didn't see Kathy, I worked a lot of nights so I was always sleeping during the day. Her beat up little car was gone from her wrinkled driveway, and I knew she wasn't home because the papers piled up before I walked over to get them. I kept my eye on the house as the days went by, not even a trace of her little black cat. Nobody was home and I had a real bad feeling.
It was about a week later when I heard the doorbell. A nice young police officer stood in front of me, while a slew of them walked in and out of Kathy's house in the background. My stomach dropped and my heart lurched in my chest.
Oh god he killed her. He found my card and he beat her to death.
"Sir do you know a Kathy and Phil Innis, live across the street?" He turned his back slightly to point behind him at the wad of cops. I nodded while I thought about what to say next.
"Have you seen Phil Innis in the last week? His wife reported him missing and we can't seem to find him." Relief flooded to my face life a wave and the breath I'd been holding (unbeknownst to me) was released in a sort of spit-tornado of air. The cop's eyebrow went up if only for a tick, and he prompted me again. "Sir, Phil Innis? Have you seen him?"
"I, uh," I stammered slightly as I saw Kathy out of the corner of my eye with the cops. They talked and wrote in their notepads, Kathy nodded a lot. Suddenly she looked past the cop to me, and we made eye contact. My head was instantly slammed with information from her eyes, her look, something about her look.
"I haven't seen him no." I finished, looked back to Kathy who was talking to another cop now.
"Do you know if they were having problems at all, any reason he would take off?" I remembered all the calls I made to the police station. I thought very carefully for my next words.
"We – the neighbours and I – suspected Phil was abusing her. We called the cops and reported it several times." I paused as the cop scribbled and looked up again at me. My heart hammered in my chest. "I confronted him one day. I told him to stop or else I'd keep calling the cops. That was just over a week ago."
A lie.
The cop nodded understandingly and finished scribbling in his pad. "That makes sense. We think he took off scared. We found his truck at the airport. If you see him come back please report it immediately." The cop handed me a card before nodding and walking off my porch.
A little over an hour later, when all the commotion had died down I saw Kathy outside, gardening once again. My whole body was shaking as I walked over. I was on autopilot. I didn't know what I would do or say when I got there.
I got to the edge of the garden and saw Kathy in the same spot, planting daisies and humming.
"I'm sorry Phil went missing Kathy. That must be hard." She looked up, a wad of daisy roots in a dirt ball held in her gloved hand. My eyes smiled but I was frantically searching for any hints. She nodded and was quiet, holding my gaze. It was confident, and I was taken aback.
"I had the codes to the injection room," She spoke lightly, as if she was explaining how sunny it was. Despite this my skin turned to ice and I froze, piecing things together. She slowly peered up through her eyelashes at me, studying my face for signs of horror. There were none. I was a professional psychiatrist; I've heard it all - now.
I followed her gaze to her shovel at her feet. It didn't look as new as it looked when I was here last. The metal head was scratched and worn and the handle has dirt in-between the new cracks of the soft wood. My heartbeat quickened. We locked eyes and I must have conveyed the one question she knew I was thinking.
Why now?
She glanced away and wiped her brow with the back of a gloved hand (also much more worn looking) and took the sweat of the day from her forehead. She looked up at me briefly, with a look of pure conviction that I had never seen from those golden eagle eyes.
"He killed my cat."
She pushed a mound of dirt into the new hole housing her daisy clump, making sure it was packed in tight, as if she wanted to keep something in.

Fresh off a thrilling debut as Real Madrid coach, which saw his team scoop up the UEFA Champion's League trophy, Zinedine Zidane flew off to a rather odd choice of destination.
Mumbai, believe it or not.
The French-Algerian football legend just landed in the Maximum City on official duty. Even more strange, he's not here to promote football or Spanish tourism or Cristiano Ronaldo's Facebook account.
Zidane is the 'wellness ambassador' for Kanakia Paris Mumbai, a luxury housing complex currently being developed in Mumbai's Bandra-Kurla Complex. Does this mean you'll be pumping weights in the building gym with Zidane for company? Unlikely. Not as long as Real Madrid stays on its current fire roll.
Zidane the outlier
Zinedine Zidane defied the jinx of great players being lousy managers. Sadly, he's the exception to the rule.
Arguably the best player to play the sport, Diego Maradona led his club Napoli to two Italian League titles and a UEFA Cup before his brilliant "Goal of the century" and "Hand of God" antics gave Argentina the World Cup in 1986.
So you can understand the disappointment when he took over as head coach for Argentina and lost a succession of matches in the 2010 World Cup qualifiers that could have led to Argentina missing out on the tournament. Argentina managed to qualify though and like his true, controversial self Maradona went in front of the media and told them to, "Suck it up and keep on sucking it." In hindsight, he should have held back on the trash talk. He was sacked after Argentina's 4-0 loss to Germany in the quarter-finals. He tried his hand at coaching in the U.A.E as head coach to the Al Wasl club in 2011, but was fired after a disastrous 13-months spell.
Greg Chappell
It's probably a mark of great players to be a little eccentric. The former Australian captain was one of the best all-rounders of his time and was easily the best batsman from Down Under before Matthew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist came along. His playing career was marred by the underarm incident at the 1981 Benson & Hedges World Series Cup, but his coaching career was a calamity that nearly destroyed Indian cricket. You know a coach is bad when even Sachin Tendulkar, one of the best cricketers of all-time and someone who likes to stay away from controversies, says, "Most of us felt that Indian cricket was going nowhere under Chappell."
Sir Bobby Charlton
One of the greatest midfielders of all-time, Sir Bobby Charlton won three league titles, one European Cup and was instrumental in England's first and only World Cup in 1966. After he hung up his boots the former Manchester United man went on to unsuccessfully manage Preston North End in 1973 and left after the club was relegated in his first season.
Paul Gascoigne
Gazza was a talent, but it's his personal life that caught up with him. He was a journeyman through his playing career and aside from being the dominating figure he was every time he took to the field, he was also the class clown. From bringing an ostrich to training to stealing and then crashing Middlesbrough's team bus in 1998, the man was full of surprises.
His management career was just as entertaining. The English midfielder who struggled with alcoholism managed Boston United for 11 games in 2004 before leaving them because the management refused to let him participate in the reality television show I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! He also coached Kettering Town football club in 2009, but his tenure lasted only 39 days. The club's owner, Imraan Ladak, blamed Gascoigne's alcohol problems, stating that he drank almost every day he worked.
Magic Johnson
The point guard won five NBA championships, was a 12-time All-Star and was league MVP for three off the 13 seasons he was with the LA Lakers. After retiring )for the second time) in 1992, Johnson returned to LA as a coach for the 1994-1995 NBA season. Although the teams stared out well, they went on a ten game losing streak and Johnson quit at the end of the 1994-95 season with a record of 5-11 as head coach in 16 games.
