Great photo! I was actually scrolling upwards so I saw the photo first and then the title which I must say it totally works with this image.
What equipment did you use?

I would have cropped so the bridge formed the lower third horizon. It actually appeared to be that way on Flipboard, and I found it quite dramatic.

Hi! I've been following your work for a while…I just recently left Northern California for a job, and I miss it (born and raised Californian). It's not often that I come across a picture of the Golden Gate that hasn't been "done" before. This one is stunning. Would it be possible to buy a print from you? I'd love to frame it and put it up.
Pat Farrell says:
I live in the SF Bay Area, and I never tire of seeing the Bridge. This is a wonderful version. And I enjoy your work.

Finally summer holidays and all the good stuff that goes with it. The girls are anxiously awaiting their new holstein calves we ordered, we have one steer waiting for more male calves to be born. Unfortunately for us, the last four calves have been heifers. So there are two more due this weekend and we are hoping for some boys so we can start calf project #2 for the year. The 6 bottle raised calves are doing awesome. Only the youngest Augustus, is still being fed. They are living with three cows and a young calf in a nice pen with grass for them.
Today we planted a bunch of lettuce and brussel sprout seedlings (or something else, our bookkeeping sucks!) that we started from seeds. They look good, John rotovated us an addition to our garden because we had so many seedlings to plant and ran out of room. Then Matty and I were checking out our larger plants and WOW!!! we have itsy bitsy cauliflower heads, broccoli heads, miniscule brussel sprouts and tiny kholrabi's. Absolutely amazing!!! Lettuce to eat next week and more veggies the week after.
The cows have settled in the far grazing area, happily munching their way through the pastures and grassy areas. I went out to do a calf count last week and stood on this field that John had plowed last fall and I had planted this spring shaking my fist at the entire herd yelling "get off my grass!!!" The grass has grown so much they were actually eating it!! Once this rain stops, I am going to go check out the rest of the areas that I planted and see how things look.
The hay is growing well, but its definately behind where it normally is at this time, so we will probably be starting haying a bit later than usual. It would be nice to get some warm weather after this rain, then things should really start growing. Our two old mares, Dagmar and DeeDee are enjoying their pasture, they are so funny. They will not adventure at all. They stay in their small pasture and won't enter the forest area at all. The other two horses are very happy for now. They are visiting a friend's property cutting down the three foot high grass for her. Very happy and fat. It will be a bit of an adjustment when they get back here next week. But they will get lots of adventure as all the kids want to learn how to ride and I can't think of two better mellow horses than Tango and Pika. Pika is so mellow, she doesn't even want to trot, that's too much effort. And she is a nice little horse, a good size for the kids.
Peter is expecting his 20 day old turkey chicks on Tuesday, so he has some work to do on the inside pen for them. Then while they are getting large enough for an outdoor pen he can fence off the pen we have decided on for them. So lots to keep us all busy for the summer months.

I made these lovely angel wing earrings. Firstly I made a mould from a pair of earrings my friend had … Continue reading

The storyteller embellishes.
It's like being a sculptor. You break open the rock, but don't leave it all jagged. Polish and hone.
In a memoir or a true short story, that's called creative detail.
So some part of the blogging is always fiction. These stories I write really do happen, but I'm a writer, what can I say.
The novels are another story.
A Breath Floats ByAuthor Essa Adams a.k.a. Thayne Hudson . . .
Women's Fiction Blog – Myths, dense observations and the lies we are told.
Age of Menopause Blog – Menopause resource for humor, sanity, and beauty.

The life path stamp
Becoming a writer is a long journey. What inspires me to continue is that I cannot stop. If we arrived in this life with a life path stamped across the forehead, 'writer' was on mine. If I die before the stories are written, I will be really ticked. Really.
Actually, I started to write when my daughter was about three. That is when the arse began to flatten and the boxes of manuscripts were stacking in the closet. Before that, my ideal activity was writing a term paper. Though I wanted to write fiction when I was in elementary, and I did, but I was not ready.
I had not suffered enough.
My daughter, not that she caused suffering, has been a teacher, an inspiration, the hum in my day from her energy and drama and life. She slept in a pile of blankets behind my chair when I worked all night. Edited my manuscripts and articles when she grew up.
The first contemporary romance novel
Forevermore was birthed… and went back in the closet… way back then. There were pages she was not allowed to read then. Now she reads it all and groans.
Forevermore will be out of the closet soon. Soon after, the rest of the Great Lakes Romance Trilogy.
Oh, yes, my life. Once we were wildlife rehabbers… i.e. those who prepare wildlife to return to the wild. Too difficult for our family. So we started adopting domestic skunks from rescues. These went well with our Newfoundland dog adoptions, those too from rescues. You had to be there.
My skunk memoirs, Skunk Medicine: There's A Skunk in the House! and Other Tail-raising Stories are like being there.
And I published the book. Loved the work, loved it.
See those sweet faces, they all make my heart sing. The one looking at you, he slept on my heart when I was ill, and I believe the singing of my heart was what cured me that time.
Publishing and writing continues
Publishing has been a delight for me, more of what I always wanted to do with my life. With a background in journalism, feature writing, editing, graphic design, web design, photography, besides publishing a small town newspaper and a historical journal, and selling the advertising, well, I've been in my element for thirty years now.
They say to do what you love, know your passion, write what you know, suffer enough. I'm trying to go light on the suffering these days, more on the passion and focus.
I feel essays pop open in my mind when I sleep. Chapters write themselves in my dreams. I cannot wait to get into my office each day. For this, for the ability, for the fact that I even have the time to do so – I know I am blessed.
The real baby
A Breath Floats By: An Illusion for the Soul and the rest of the Great Lakes Spiritual Trilogy were written after my mother passed over. After we moved from Black Log Valley in Pennsylvania to the Midwest. A Breath Floats By was the agony of birth itself, as any writer knows. Coupling the writing and revisions with design and publishing, never made me consider that I may not want to go through that again. Just kept planning.
The alternatives
Sometimes I think I lose focus because I specialize in life purpose charting – a directive of sorts that gives information so choices are made with more of the information one has when we are born, such as the number vibration, floweer essence soul type, and ascendant. Though I am also a holistic guide and trained in Bowen therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and am self-taught in homeopathy, my focus is on the writing and charts for individuals which perfectly lends to me the creativity and reaching out from my life to others. I love it!
The chosen path – again?
And for my connection to the Earth and to others, I am blessed to be allowed to write about it all too. 'Welcome back the storyteller.' That's what my dear friend wrote for my book jacket, Skunk Medicine.
'Welcome back….' Wonder what she meant….

You would think/hope that thirty years after my diagnosis of ME - abnormal muscle biopsy, abnormal EMG, abnormal blood tests etc etc etc - all would be fine and dandy, we would be waiting patiently and quietly for the elusive biomarker, as dedicated researchers worked hard to help us find a cause and cure. No chance.
This Bookseller article referred to her book as 'groundbreaking and controversial'.
I can confirm however that it is certainly not groundbreaking, more a dreary recycling of the biopsychosocial narrative because as I already reviewed here on Goodreads, it includes a case study 'Rachel', a young woman with 'ME/CFS' who 'fails' to manage her fatigue and doesn't get better. Naughty Rachel. She refuses psychiatric treatment (Good for you, Rachel). The chapter is manipulative and incoherent. Vacuous too.
This is 2015, let's just remind ourselves. Yet Suzanne has not managed to keep up with the science in spite of having it all at her fingertips. If Suzanne were not so dangerous, she would be a hoot, but this is, frankly, indefensible:
'I will not be obtuse. I believe that psychological factors and behavioural issues, if they are not the entire cause, at the very least contribute in a significant way to prolonging the disability that occurs in chronic fatigue syndrome. Do I know that for sure? No, nobody does...'
'...So is it a somatisation disorder? ME/CFS is an illness in its own right that has not traditionally been referred to as a somatisation disorder, but that is not to say that it does not share common ground with psychosomatic disorders. It manifests as multiple medically unexplained symptoms. Sufferers of both disorders carry similar behaviours and illness beliefs and neither leads to evidence of organic disease however long you wait.'
'There is certainly evidence that ME/CFS can be precipitated by exposure to an infecting agent (no shit, Sherlock!) but once the infection has cleared, there is no way of explaining how the syndrome of chronic fatigue develops, except perhaps to consider the psychological vulnerability of those affected and their behavioural response to the illness.'
The icing on the cake (this part is also in my Goodreads review but is worth repeating for those of us who actually have an understanding of the stinking politics around this illness):
'In my early years training in neurology I encountered many patients with CFS, but more recently neurologists have distanced themselves from this disorder and patients are more likely to seek help from immunologists or endocrinologists. I do not currently see patients for the purpose of diagnosing or treating ME/CFS, but many of my patients with dissociative seizures have a history of ME/CFS, and there is something very interesting in that fact alone.'
There is something very interesting alone in the fact that Suzanne does not seem to have actually met (m)any patients with classic Ramsay-ME - in 1990s when she was training, the Wessely/CFS school was just taking root. ME was being 'disappeared'. The patients she sees with dissociative seizures most likely don't have classic ME in first place. (Who knows what they have, given that ME/CFS has become a dustbin diagnosis, thanks to Oxford criteria, so loved by Wessely school.)
But O'Sullivan seems not to be unaware of the problems with criteria. (She really ought to watch Leonard Jason, professor of psychology, his 2014 presentation on case definitions and criterion variance is excellent.)
And we don't ever find out what happens to Rachel, she is not followed up. O'Sullivan also fails spectacularly to describe the experience of probably all of us with ME, of pushing ourselves to recover only to relapse catastrophically.
So, a doctor who is not an expert in ME feels entitled to devote a whole chapter of her book to ME, in which she shamefully undermines all the years of hard work those of us with the illness have done to educate. She is taking the piss. She will not rock the science, of course, it is progressing nicely, but she could well do damage to someone with ME who has faced disbelief from friends or family.
Oafs abound. And they steal your energy, they are noise in your head. They are self-important, bloated and entirely lacking in self-awareness. They know best, you see. Your thirty-three years of lived illness does not equal their opinion. And they also have a skill of blocking out hard, objective science. They have convinced themselves that 250 000 people in the UK are somatising across the decades. As someone on the book thread said, their blocking out of evidence is a psychologial phenomenon in itself.
The Countess of Mar has written a stonkingly good letter to O'Sullivan and copied it to her publisher Chatto and Windus (and also to Simon W's seemingly joined-at-the-hip friend David Aaronovitch). It is just so dispiriting that Suzanne's publisher saw no harm in her framing of ME as psychosomatic. I guess they just see £ signs (ooh, controversial, edgy science).
The truth is, of course, that O'Sullivan has indulged herself at our expense, and her publishers have indulged her too, by including a neuroimmune illness in a book of 'all in your head' disorders. It goes without saying that no one in the ME patient/research community had heard of her until a few weeks ago, and yet readers - frighteningly gullible - are willing to bestow authority on her.
Dearie me.
Happily, the Annals of Internal Medicine have just put this very fine NIH report online: National Institutes of Health Pathways to Prevention Workshop: Advancing the Research on Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
I have decided not to blog about ME any more, not unless there is good news to report, advances in research, positive events. I have educated others as much as I can, but it is simply too draining, physically and emotionally to challenge nonsense.
Science is winning, it always has been.
But in the meantime, I have banished the oafs.

October 2: "Palisadoes Emergency Landing"
1953: A Brazilian International Airline DC-4 airliner makes an emergency landing at Palisadoes Airport. It had developed an oil leak in one of its port engines while on a flight from Miami to La Guaira, Venezuela. After repairs are affected at the airport, the plane leaves for Venezuela with its 38 passengers onboard.
1957: Five minutes from the close, centre forward Percival Richards scores from left winger Owen Parker's corner kick to gain a 2-2 draw for the visiting YMCA team to take victory, seemingly from within the grasp of the Worcestershire Regiment, in the Senior League soccer fixture at Up Park Camp.
1958: While uncertainty prevails in the Corporate Area concerning the winner of the first prize in the Knutsford Sweep, Sydonia John Gallimore, a 50-year-old whitehaired Jamaica Government railway brakeman, hears the news of his good fortune. As he arrives in Montego Bay and is interviewed, he states that he took the news calmly. He further says that his small fortune of £12,500 would be well spent.
1959: The action of Government in
setting up a parliamentary committee for the purpose of investigating election malpractices in the island receives strong support in the Legislative Council, as the council passes a bill to amend the Legislative Council and the House of Representatives (Power and Privileges) Law. The amendment to the law is made in order to facilitate the committee in its investigations by empowering them to examine electoral documents in the possession of the chief electoral officer.
1969: The Government of Jamaica and the United States (US) conclude an Air Transport Agreement which allows for the expansion of commercial air services between the two countries, and also provides a basis for the continuation of existing arrangements. Under the agreement, the Jamaica Government may authorise Jamaica Airlines to provide non-stop air service from Jamaica to five US cities, namely New York, Miami, Chicago, Philadelphia and Detroit.
1975: A redevelopment plan for the Port Antonio area is being studied by the Government's town planning department. Negotiations are already underway for the acquisition of the Anchovy property for the expansion of the town.

One quote stuck out, which crystallized the moral bankruptcy of the longing for the end of the world so prevalent among Evangelicals. It occurs little under half an hour into the film, during a sequence where a tour group is being baptized in the Jordan river. The tour leader is talking to the camera about the battle of Armageddon:
" In the tribulation, this will be the final battle ground, and there are lots of different thoughts where the battle happens or any of those things. As a believer in our lord Jesus Christ, we'll have the greatest seat of all to watch it. That's something that's fantastic to me; we will not be here but we'll be able to watch it"Absolutely chilling, when you stop to actually think about what he is saying; genocide as a spectator sport. It isn't enough that these folks are actively longing for the mass murder of the majority of humanity, no; on top of that, they want to watch the whole thing go down. The obvious reasoning is of course that everyone who isn't "saved" deserves to be horribly murdered (before spending an eternity in writhing agony), and that the enjoyment those who get to watch will experience isn't sick or twisted, it's comeuppance. The Book of Revelations, after all is one giant revenge fantasy; those who suffer and are persecuted for Jesus will be rewarded and those who did the persecuting will get what's coming to them. While I believe his initial giddiness is based upon his actual beliefs, I think he takes a second to think how someone "of the world" would view his unabashed sadism at the prospect of Armageddon and tries to back peddle:
"The final battle I think will be a lot of fun to watch... Not fun in the sense of knowing that people are dying without having received Christ as their saviour, but at the same time seeing the prophecy fulfilled, seeing god's word come out.On second thought, this doesn't seem like a back peddle at all (what I get for writing while watching). He doesn't do the decent thing, like say, "Oh, you're wondering why I said watching millions of people being horribly murdered would be fun to watch; what I meant was...". But no, he actually sticks to his perspective adding that he isn't happy about people dying without "getting saved". So the tragedy isn't that people are being brutally murdered as the streets overflow with rivers of blood; the tragedy is that people didn't convert to Christianity, and now they get to suffer for it. The sentiment expressed is unimaginably cruel, while at the same time unbelievably sanctimonious.
The problem is that this isn't just some zealots fevered nightmare vision of the future, millions of people believe this and share in the sentiment that such a scenario is something everyone who has a conscious ought to be hoping, nay praying for. Think about it won't you, one of the most common Christian prayers has such a sentiment within it. "The Lord's Prayer", found in Matthew 6:9-13, contains the passage "Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done". Side stepping the hermeneutics of this, at its most obvious the prayer is wishing for the coming of the "Kingdom" of the Christian god, and how when is that going to be coming again? Well according to folks like the fellow quoted above, right after most of humanity is wiped from the face of the earth. I'm not sure how many people actually make the causal connection between this sentiment and the events of Revelation, but it is certainly there.
This perspective is commonly referred to as Christian triumphalism, and the more I learn and interact with Christians, the more common the sentiment is. It stems, I believe, from having been the hegemony for so long. Christianity is, in Western culture, the default position, and with this comes an inbred sense of entitlement. Amazing then that when one reads articles like the article I discuss here, they have the tremnity to perceive themselves as still being a persecuted minority. A textbook example of what the phrase "having ones cake, and eating it too", the obvious superiority the religion has been written across the pages of western history since 391 CE. Yet today in a culture so deeply beholden to its influence that any attempt at minority groups to attempt to get a fair shake is seen as an erosion, an attack on said religion. Not to be too derogatory, but the idea of a "default position" is something which is so pervasive it is almost rendered invisible; at least to those who share the position. The triumphalism trumpeted from the pages of WND may be the most blatant and obvious sort of example, but the idea runs far deeper, and across a much broader swath of traditions.
Even among many of my family, friends and co-workers, the sentiment is expressed and sustained, despite the fact that few would even consider themselves "religious". Again, when ones only frame of reference is the dominant cultural force that is the "default", everything else becomes "the other", "weird", etc. It doesn't matter how many ludicrous or clearly fantastic hagiographic tales about flying monks abound; that's normal. But some guy saying a prayer to the sun, bizarre. It may seem like I'm getting away, to some degree, from my original purpose in writing this post, but it all ties in. The guy quoted in the first couple of paragraph's, with he raging hard on for the end of days, is as I pointed out, not an aberration; far from it. While many of the more liberal or "open minded" of the Christian tradition would claim otherwise, he is simply the logical end of the sort of ideology which monotheism in a much broader sense, instills in its adherents. To be clear, he isn't advocating genocide; he isn't saying we must kill those who will not be converted. I doubt very much that the man would even have a proclivity towards violence. As an individual he is very likely a moral individual. The issue, the chilling moral callousness of his world view, is something which expressed in a group, can become very dangerous.
The idea of millions of otherwise moral individuals longing for a day when billions will die in the most horrific ways imaginable, calls into question just what it means to be moral in the Western cultural tradition. If the reward for "goodness" is that you get to sit in box seats, and witness the "wicked" cleasned from the earth, what does it say about the kind of morality which underlies a huge percentage of the "religious" in the West. Is it the funniest sort of irony when a group of people, who still percieve themselves in the same light as their historic forebearers, lions and all, now await for their turn to shout, cheer and cry out "well washed!"?

Every Day is for the Thief
The home you left long ago is never the home you come back to. It's always a disappointment and your memories are always better anyway. Yes, a cliché, but that doesn't stop anyone from writing about the experience. It is the subject of Teju Cole's recently published novel, Every Day is for the Thief.
Cole was born in this country, raised in Nigeria and author of the widely praised Open City. Every Day is For the Thief was written before Open City but only recently published in this country. It recounts the tale of an American psychiatrist-in-training who returns to Lagos for a short visit.
At once he is struck by the rampant corruption, thievery and bribery that even begins in New York as he applies to have his passport renewed at the Nigerian consulate. After arriving, it continues. Cole notes that the assumptions of life in America—obeying the law, moral constraints, due process—seem entirely absent from the city in which he was raised
On the streets in Lagos lawlessness is everywhere. "For many Nigerians, the giving and receiving of bribes, tips, extortion money, or alms—the categories are fluid are not thought of in moral terms."
He never sees anyone reading, until one day, as he is traveling on a mini-bus he observes a woman holding a book. He strains his neck to find out what it is. "What I see makes my heart leap up into my mouth and thrash about like a catfish in a bucket." Michael Ondaatje"
The rarity of an adult reading a stimulating work of literary fiction on public transportation or most anywhere else astounds him. He wonders where could she have bought it or how could she afford it as it looked new. He is eager to talk to her and carries on a silent conversation. "What lady, do you make of Ondaatje's labyrinthine sentences, his sensuous prose? How does his intense visuality strike you?" Where could she have bought it?"
And he hopes they will both get off at the same stop. Of course they don't, as she gets off and disappears into the bookless crowd, long before Cole's destination. It is the one of the few encounters in Lagos that brings him any pleasure, any intellectual pleasure. Cole confesses that Nigeria is "a hostile environment for the life of the mind."
Before returning to Lagos, he had given some thought to staying permanently. But his week or so there convinced him, that was no longer possible. He isn't the person he was when he left. Neither is Lagos, the city it was when he left. He knows that he loves the life he had created in the U.S. and had no desire to deal with what life is like in the country of his youth.

So it's a novel but it sounds very autobiographical, yes? Have you read Open City? I'd like to get to it one of these days but haven't yet managed to.

And don't forget all the books I mentioned long before you chanced upon my blog. I started blogging in 2009 and have continued on and off, ever since. That's 5 years of reading one thing or another. Currently I'm reading In the Light of What We Know, by Zia Rahman, Linda, it's the best book I've read in years. Sorry.

text: September 06, 2007 Five of a kind Source: New York Teacher Caption: John Dalmolin, a teacher at PS 14 in Queens, with 'Class Acts' awardee Marques Seme and his mother, Cheryl Tellis-Seme. Photo by Pat Arnow. Five outstanding kids and the teachers who inspired them did the city proud when they won the 2007 Daily News Class Acts Award in June. United Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten lauded the students for "using the power of a strong and honorable character to not only advance knowledge, but to achieve the essential beauty of wisdom." Their stories are: Thirteen-year-old Daniel Singh has always been a straight-A student - before and after he was diagnosed with bone cancer. Called "unstoppable" by teacher Ross Cohen, the budding scientist, mathematician and writer began attending Brooklyn Tech this month. "I am very thankful for the opportunities in my life, including having Ross as my teacher," Singh said. Escaping the slaughter of civil war in Liberia when he was 14, Bomie Cooper arrived in New York during a frigid winter, "determined to get my dream started." Five years later, he is one of only 22 students accepted into the elite Licensed Nursing Program at Curtis HS, acing demanding courses while working part-time. "I plan to open a full-service health center for kids as soon as possible," he said. Guidance counselor Georgiana del Busto said, "It's incredibly rewarding to watch a respectful and responsible student like Bomie pursue his dreams." Fifth-grader Marques Seme refuses to let Tourette's syndrome keep him from participating fully in life or envisioning a great future. "Patience helps me a lot," he said. At PS 14 in Queens, teacher John Dalmolin said Marques taught him that "no matter what challenge you have in life, you must step up to the plate and give it your best swing." Tamara Minott, peer mentor and scholarship-winning graduate of Abraham Lincoln HS in Brooklyn, grew up fast when her mother died. "It would bring me glory just to be half the person that my mother was," said Minott, who took care of herself and her younger sister almost single-handedly. "I'm going to be a social worker so I can help people to understand and heal themselves." College counselor Renee Schonfeld said Minott has the insight, diplomacy and sensitivity needed to meet that goal. A father in jail, a destitute mother, a sick brother and the gloom of a homeless shelter could not knock Wadleigh Secondary School graduate Gregory Herman's star out of the sky. The 17-year-old not only stayed on a steady course but has been a "big brother" to many kids, delivered meals to the needy and earned a full scholarship to the University of Vermont, where he will major in psychology. Mentor Darryl Williams, director of a group that ministers to the homeless, said Herman "was always good at helping others." Herman vowed "to keep service to others as a primary aim for the rest of my life."

Leaflet Distribution Services Harwich CO12
Guaranteed leaflet distribution, door-to-door, flyer delivery.
** Winner Best Leaflet Distribution Services Company UK **
Areas covered:
Dovercourt, Harwich, Little Oakley, Parkeston, Ramsey, Stones Green
Leaflet Distribution Harwich is an experienced leaflet delivery company that provides a checked door to door distribution service for your flyers in Harwich CO12, UK.
We can guarantee that your leaflets will actually reach letterboxes because we have been providing this service since 2004 on a daily basis.Good rates are offered with discounts for larger quantities. Our experience and guarantee means that our leaflet distribution company is the best in Harwich CO12.
Potential delivery people are screened before even being considered for an interview. The induction process is structured, based on years of knowing what to do and what not to do!
Important points to beware of in deciding which leaflet distributor to use in Harwich CO12 include that if they are quoting rock bottom rates as their supposed selling point, how can they attract and retain any competent staff? People are not going to work for virtually nothing and as the saying goes, if you pay peanuts you get monkeys! If it takes a leafleter around 6 hours to do 1,000 flyers, they would need to be paid about £40 to earn fractionally over the minimum wage. Some companies I know of pay their delivery staff £25/1,000. What do you think they do with most of the leaflets they are given?! Also, having your leaflets put in local newspapers unfortunately brings a very poor rate of return, as they accept too many leaflets and someone needs to go to the exact page where they are. National leaflet distribution companies have a bad reputation and I have never spoken to anyone who was pleased with their work! I have undertaken subcontracted deliveries for them in Harwich CO12 and their checks are minimal at best!

While Raisi's definitive defeat is likely to put him out of the running, it is certain the conservatives will put forward other candidates. Read More »

It was a remarkable challenge to the Shi'ite Muslim religious judicial authorities, who have blacklisted Khatami from public life for his support for other reformists under house arrest.

Iranian president criticises US after Donald Trump calls for country's isolation
It is crucial to note that even when a candidate makes it through the strict vetting process, and wins the popular vote , the Supreme Leader can meddle with the election result. The system thus provides room for and tolerates a diversity of opinions, despite vigorous vetting of candidates. This is despite the fact that Khamenei has become disenchanted with this stance, fearing potential reforms, and will act to inhibit it. Read More »

|Carsten S. Lundsten's Photo of The B&LE Bridge
What a phenomenal sight. I didn't walk all the way across, because there were no trespassing signs all around. If I got booted off the bridge on the north side by the railroad bulls I would have about a 6 mile walk to get back to my car. So if I got booted I wanted to be booted on the southern side. Well that was before 9-11. Today I would be afraid that a helicopter and a swat team would be called in on me and I would end up in some Federal prison for terrorist activities on a public transportation facility. BTW, the B&LE used to be owned by United States Steel Corporation, but is now owned by the Canadian National Railroad...so maybe I'll end up in a Canadian prison.
Edit 4-25-11: I remembered I have a really cool photo of the B&LE bridge that I downloaded several years ago. I can't find it any longer on the web, so I don't who to give credit to for this photo, but it is a jewel! Click on it for full size.

I feel the need to write this piece... because most ordinary Malaysians still do not know how to plan for their house renovation and do not know what to prepare before calling for an interior designer. The points below are derived from our official website www.meridiandesign.com.my/faq.htm .
Planning To Renovate ?
Before you call in your builder, it's worth thinking about how you want each room to be used.
The first thing to do is to ask around amongst friends for recommendations of architects, kitchen specialists, interior designers and builders. Also, look in design magazines to find the names of people or companies whose work you admire.
Obtain quotes from at least three builders to compare prices. Beware of the difference in prices! The cheapest quote is not necessarily the one you should choose; ask to see an example of the builder's work, and try to talk to previous clients.
Be specific when you are asking for quotes; put in as many details as possible. For instance, if you want a particular laminate, say so; otherwise the builder will almost certainly price the job on the cheapest available material. Be aware that the following terms all mean the same material : solid hard board, solid particle board, chipboard, miecomine board, melamine board. Also, plywood does not mean it is inferior as most people assume, knowing it's actually hollow inside. Most people are surprised when we tell them that plywood is more expensive than hardboard!
The work done by builders, kitchen companies, interior designers and architects vary enormously. Clarify exactly what can be expected of them - will they be supervising the job, for example, or merely drawing up plans.
The Designing Process
Firstly, we will ask for your floor plan and work out an estimation of costs for the project you wish to undertake. If the estimated cost meets the client's expectations, then a meeting will follow to work out details of the design. Even if the initial estimated cost is not within the client's budget, we would advice on how to minimize costs so as to keep everything within a specified budget. Cutting cost means using local and thereby cheaper accessories.
After the initial stage of determining a budget to work with, we would ask the client to furnish us with details on his tastes and preference of style and what he wants to use that specific area for. Only then can we propose a design that meets the needs of the homeowner. We would advice clients to read up on magazines and take note of designs that they like.
Upon confirmation of design, we would request a specified amount of deposit (non-refundable) to start the work. The time involved to deliver a project differs according to the size of the project and can take any time between 2 weeks to 2 months.
Design Fees
At Meridian Design, we use a powerful and photo-realistic 3-D software to help you visualize your new home. You will be able to see :
- Light points
- The ceiling of your choice
- How the wall colours and your furnishings blend in harmony
- How alterations to wall structures affect overall environment
These will be printed in full-colour on graphic paper and each view (meaning, per piece printed) will cost RM250. A special discounted price will be given if you were to appoint us to be your main contractor.

| creativity |
Because I am embracing my creative side with new vigor. Forgetting my perfectionism and just writing, even if the result isn't exactly how I envisioned it. Taking a break from novel-planning to work on some fanfic, spending hours at a time at the local coffee shop, sipping Americanos and typing rabidly. People, 2000 words a day isn't bad, and its fun too, since only I will see it, and I'm strengthening my skills. Also working a bit on improvising. I was trained classically in piano, so anything outside of strict theory is new and exciting. Music is a language, and I love it almost as much as words. I'm letting my brain get inspired in new ways this summer, and it is so freeing.
| anthropologie |
I'm in love. The other day me, my mom, and two of my sisters took a little window-shopping trip, and Anthro one of the stops. Its classy, edgy, rustic, elegant. . .all and everything clothing (and home decor!) should be. Like I said on my way out. . .now I just need to marry a rad doctor-guy who is handsome with a great sense of style. See? Easy fix. Then I'd have all the books, coffee, chocolate, plays, food, Anthropologie and Banana Republic clothes I need. :P Hey, you gotta let penniless girls dream a little. >halo< Sadly had to leave my little ceramic-blue-and-white-mug-with-the-M-on-it behind at the store. Horrors.
instagram | Fashion&Faith |
Just spent the evening concocting lipstain, eyeliner, and bronzer using all-natural minerals and spices. I'm really excited to share some recipes and results in an upcoming post! Also activated charcoal. . .the stuff is genius.
Oh my word. . .need I even say how stinkin' excited I am about the new Hobbit trailer?? Just. . .Richard Armitage. :P Been following the movies from the beginning, and I know a lot of you are just as thrilled about this final installment. Absolutely can't wait, and man does Pippin's song just make this trailer, or what?
I've never considered myself a huge vintage-junky, but recently my mom and I have been obsessed with movies from the 30's-40's. Think I should blame Bucky and Steve? I mean, look at them. Yeah. Me too. :P
We especially like Carol Lombard. (check out this free B&B movie site!) In fact, Mom and I huddled together bemoaning Carol's death just yesterday. :P Anywho, I think I can now officially say that I have a vintage icon. There was something so classy and naturally beautiful about women back then; strong but feminine. If only we could re-capture that art.
eter Hollens |
Pretty sure my first introduction to the amazingly talented Peter Hollens was through his cover of Misty Mountain. Not only are his videos extremely entertaining, but they are always so creative and the guy can sing. I love the crisp clarity in his voice, and sometimes like his covers even more than the original song. So yeah, kinda a big fan. Also his family. Because he and his wife are adorable together, and they have a baby. I may or may not watch most of their vlogs.
So I wasn't sure if I was going to do a separate post or mention her here. . .but a wonderfully wonderful puppy came into my life once-upon-a-three-weeks-ago. :) Some of you may remember my dog Nick from my old blog, Rhapsody in Pink. He tragically died two years ago. . .and only recently have I gone on a the hunt for another dog. Well, after much searching and some totally God-orchestrated events, Belle entered my world. She is a bulldog/basset mix (a Designer Breed, not to be confused with a mutt,) or Bully Basset. I absolutely love her and am so, so pleased with the progress she's made so far. Half a month of hard-core training, and she already heels perfectly on walks. :) So, so blessed! We may have a future therapy dog on our hands, people!

Happy Earth Day everyone! Living the 'California Dream' isn't just about palm trees and sunshine. Silicon Valley Californians LOVE to talk about how they are lessening their carbon footprint.
We eat local, buy local, shop local, drive Tesla's (I'm holding out on the Tesla X 8 seater!!), and love to keep our green vegetables on rotation – avocado, kale of all varieties, and chard. We Vitamix the vegetables you probably wouldn't think to vitamix – like romain lettuce and know all the juicing trucks that use the 'door dash' delivery service via bicycles. We do all this to make us feel bit more socially responsible and hope that our Carbon Footprint struts a little bit lighter.
And now the elephant in the room –
Beautycounter line is not 'cheap' and here is why:
💚 Our cosmetic packages are paper based and the entire compact can be recyclable (just pop out the mirror).
💚 The paper cartons are Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified which is a fancy way of enforcing the materials are sourced in a socially responsible way.
💚 Glass, paper and safer plastic materials are used when possible. No PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) or BPA (Bisphenol A) are used in any of the materials.
💚Beautycounter donates to http://www.carbonfund.org Foundation by planting trees to offset CO2 emissions created from corporate events.
I feel better already…
Happy Earth Day!

A while ago I cast on a new sweater with the yarn I purchased out East. It has been put on the back burner and no mention has been made of it. I finally got it together (mentally) and have been working on it again. Upon picking it up again I realized that it is the perfect spring project…being spring green and all.
The twisted stockinette is enough to leave war wounds on my hands (should you get callusses on your fingers from holding the needles so tight?), and makes my thumbs cramp. But, dang, the result is kind of cool!
Progress has been made. The body is done up to the armholes, and 1/2 a sleeve has sprouted up (though the picture below doesn't reflect all of my sleeve work).
What project is complete without some type of mental shutdown on my part? I was breezily working on the sleeve increasing 2 stitches in each round for 8 rounds. I was getting this weird bump that I was pretty sure any amount of blocking was not going to make go away.
"That seems odd, maybe my increase method is not right."
"No, that doesn't seem to be the problem."
Yes, I should have read and re-read the pattern. Because it said:
"Work 7 rounds in Twisted Stockinette Stitch.
Next Round: K1, m1, k to last st, m1, k1
Repeat these 8 rounds 1 time more. 71 sts."
That does not mean repeat the "Next Round" line 8 times!!! It means work 7 rounds of twisted stockinette AND increase in the 8th row…AND ONLY THE 8TH ROW! The 71 stitches should have been my 1st clue….since that is only 4 more than what I started with. You know, the excitement of the project sometimes gets away from me, and directions be damned!
Yeah, then if you are me…..you frog.
But prior to doing that you go play in the dirt to give yourself a mental break.
Not only do I have spring flowers in my yard. I decided I wanted to grow produce this year. I bought 2 tomato plants from a little girl that I know whose school was doing a fundraiser. Um, yeah. 2 plants was really 2 4-packs….8 plants. And prior to getting them delivered (and realizing my lack of reading retention…noticing a pattern in this post?) I had purchased another tomato plant at another fundraiser. 3 wouldn't have been bad…but 9?
So for now the 8 small plants are in 2 pots. Yes, I realize the pots will not be big enough if they all live, and that I am going to have tomatoes running out of my ears. But I am sure there are all kinds of interesting things I can make with tomatoes!!

The other large wooden-framed Empire windows were added around 1850.The three lower storeys of the tower were built in the 16th century in the same material as the nave.
The many decorations on the north gallery include Elijah in a chariot of fire, Job and his friends, Moses with the tablets of law Jesus walking on the water, and Paul's shipwreck.The latter is particularly appropriate for the fishing port of Nexø where the dangers of the sea are well known.In the absence of records, it is difficult to date the building precisely, although it appears to have been established at the end of the Middle Ages, initially as a chapel for seafarers.Indeed, it was dedicated to St Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors.The night before the UK Team had prepared a channel blocker from Wales to Morecambe Bay to avoid any surprises.
In Denmark the lines were closer together so the agents adopted a cautious approach so as not to arouse suspicions.

Roy Prescott is already wearing black, but the "funeral" is more than a month away.
He sat at his laptop Tuesday in a corner of Remy's Bar and Grill and updated a Facebook page filled with eulogies and farewells to the longtime Hilton Head Island eatery.
Among those posts was the news that the restaurant and bar will close Feb. 28, almost 30 years after opening its doors.
Many of Remy's nearly 5,000 Facebook friends offered support and somber best wishes.

"One of the saddest things I've ever heard," wrote one.
"Surely this isn't the end!" wrote another.
"It's as emotional for a lot of people on Hilton Head as it is for us," said Prescott.
Prescott, 60, has been running Remy's at various island locations for nearly half of his life. The hours -- 11 a.m. to 3 a.m. -- can take a heavy toll.
"When the phone rings at 11 p.m. and the bartender is sick, I don't feel like coming in anymore," he said.
He says now is a good time to slow down.
Prescott's wife, Becky, owns the business, but Roy is its public face. That means he's always on call.
He said Remy's, like restaurants everywhere, has suffered from people eating out less and from more competition among bars and restaurants.
While the end of February will bring the end of Remy's, the beginning of March will mark the start of a new venture for the couple.
On March 4, 29 years after he opened the first Remy's location near Sea Pines Circle, the Prescotts will launch Roy's Place Cafe & Catering in Park Plaza.
Catering will be the focus of the business, but the cafe also will offer Remy's menu staples -- "blue plate meat and three" homestyle meals and fresh seafood and pasta dishes for lunch and seasonally, for dinner.
The new building holds about 200 fewer people than Remy's but offers a larger kitchen to accommodate the growing catering orders, Prescott said.
The cafe move is one many Remy's regulars say they will follow.
"I've moved once, twice and, now I'll move three times with them," Gary Blackwell, who's been coming to Remy's since 1992, said as he sat at the bar Tuesday.
"I follow Roy," he said.
"The regulars," Prescott said, "are more like friends than customers."
And friends have long memories.
Some of them gathered for lunch hour Tuesday to reminisce, share Remy's tales and chat about the celebrities who have occasionally stopped by.
One man who identified himself only as Claude told the story of the night friends handed him a flute of champagne and said, "that's from the best hockey player in the NHL."
Claude said he looked down the bar at the man who sent it, then said "That's not Wayne Gretzky."
It was Mark Messier, who was then a part-time resident of Hilton Head Island.
A party Feb. 22, about a week before the official closing, will bring regulars and mourners together one last time at the Arrow Center location.
Expect the stories to flow freely.

Clever, you have made Assunta flow like a river!ReplyDelete
This is truly beautiful!ReplyDelete
I'm loving all the "large" tangles. Maybe that's my challenge...to quit making my tangles so small! This is beautiful!ReplyDelete
Your tangle is lovely. I agree with you about Assunta sometimes becoming 'lost' but I think it somehow compels you to fill in the spaces.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the "gawker" idea. I'd never heard of that before. Love your tangle!!!! Great variations on Assunta!ReplyDelete
I love it! Your assunta is great and I love the swirls in between!ReplyDelete
I also like your tile!! What's that tangle in the lower left?ReplyDelete
Very lovely.ReplyDelete
I think filling between Assunta with the spirals enhanced them and made it shine! Great tile!ReplyDelete
Ranza, that is a new tangle I am working on that will be available very soon. I haven't named it yet.ReplyDelete
