How many 'Chinese' beaneries are enough in one town?
Just what Monroe needed, another average diner with the same old menu items just like any of the other diners in the area. Hey Sal.... you need to step it up and make some unique food items to make your place stand out from the rest. Same old burgers, coneys, sandwiches, and dinner plates.
Sort of off topic, but Flip....have you tried the new chicken pot pies that KFC is putting out? I see them marketing them now in the St. Louis area, not sure if they are being sold back home though.
Local outlets here don't offer them...yet but I did try one in Ionia on the way back from up north with Jimmy. They are good. The Ionia KFC on M66 in town, has a full buffet plus the carryout or dine in chicken in all varieties.All the KFC's around here are owned by the same person, both in Monroe (2) and the one in Adrian. They also owned the one in Tecumseh that caught fire (from an electrical issue, not overcooked chicken) that was never rebuilt for some reason. Just an empty lot now (across from Bader's John Deere). No for sale sign so I keep hoping it will be rebuilt at some point.CL and I did swing into Jets Pizza in Tecumseh the other night and ordered up a thick crust rectangular pizza pie with pepperoni and extra cheese and brought it home and true to Jets, it was just as good as any we have had elsewhere. Jets is tops for pizza in my book, about the only pizza we don't get indigestion from.Waiting for the beanery and bar to move into the closed steak house that was on the corner of 23 and 50. They have good stuff at their present location, just down the way.We go to the Chinese Sizzling or the Dundee Coney Island (in the same strip) off Waterstradt across M50 from Cabelas. The Coney don't have much in the way of ambience (none at all actually) but has a good inexpensive breakfast (stay away from the pancakes) and dinners, Liver and onions suck, so does the meatloaf and spaghetti and meatballs, but everything else is good to excellent and they make real battewred deep fried onion rings, not the constituted (ground up onion) ones other beaneries offer.Their burgers are fantastic and so it their Al's club sandwich. Cheesecake is homemade and excellent too.Chinese Sizzling is so clean you could eat off the floor in the mens room, never seen a Chinese beanery so clean before, usually they are dirty. Not this one and the food is good and you get plenty, we usually wind up bringing some home for another meal. The Coney and the Chinese place do carryout.We do Chinese in moderation, we prefer American cusine and of course KFC.Finally went to Culvers in Adrian the other day. It's very good too. Specialty burgers and fare. Reasonably priced too. Nice dining room, unlike McDees, no plastic seating. Real sloth seats.
We've been to JR's in Adrian a couple times, it's good too. Actually, we have not found a bad eatery in Adrian. JR's in Milan is on the strip that parallels 23 right? I'd say for us, it's a wash, Adrian or Milan, about the same distance.This time of the year though I prefer eating at home. Just too crappy outside to go out to eat.Been wanting to try Carl's Cabin in Plymouth on Gotfredson Road at Territorial. I hear you need a big wallet but it's always packed. We get up that way to visit CL's brother and always go by it.Cannot be n any bigger wallet place than the Villa however.Think my favorite place down your way has the be LaFiesta on Telegraph. Have really good Taco's. Don't upset my tummy.
No opening yet, but looks like someone is putting some money into the old Monroe Townsite Plaza. Most of the dated facade has been ripped off and all the old signage has been removed. Nice to see some things happening on the south side of town over the last couple years. Looks like the whole Kroger shopping center is full now too.
Curious the plan - as it appears the past owner was chasing out long time resident occupants. Some landlords need a write off it seems

This is one of my favorite Jingle Belle prompts. I get to recycle some of the things that I have saved from Christmases past and also from previous projects. This card has some of both.
The wreath was not a wreath to begin with. It was a string of wire with red and green beads on it that was used to wrap up a package. I just wound it around my fingers to make a wreath out of it, using the beadless ends of the wire to hold it together. The bow is some elastic cording that was also on a package. The wreath sits on a piece of gold embossed cherry cobbler paper that was left over from a card I made a few years ago. And the green card base was also a leftover.
The beads are so much prettier IRL, trust me. I shall try to be back before next Wednesday with another EARTH Day card. Goodness knows I have a lot of stuff I can recycle.

Long time no see my dear fiends!
I am terribly sorry for my absence. Jobwise, things have been pretty rough ever since that iclandic volcano started erupting and I keep getting stuck in places I haven't planned on. So in the past three weeks I actually spent only 5 days at home in total :-(
So, in case the volcano doesn't stop its crazy activity anytime soon, I need to fly out and blow it up....just kidding of course ;-)
But enough volcano talk...
Today I wanted to show you guys a beautiful set of three nail polishes that I got with Sephora's Beauty Insider Rewards program. The set features 3 beautiful polishes from their permanent range, Personal Shopper (bright stunning red), Dear Diary (soft romantic pink) and I'm with Brad ( a "love the name!" dark vampy red shimmer)
There is not much to add in terms of the formula, it is perfect as usual and along with MAC this must be my favorite polish formula :-)
So let's move on to the graphic evidence, shall we?

So if you are out on the prowl for a beautiful, classic red creme polish, look no further!
Dear Diary
Artificial Light
Dear Diary is a nice, nude looking pale pink creme polish, perfect for the "model hand" nude look, or I can even imagine it as base for sheer nail polishes if you just use one coat of it. Need to try that *note*
I'm with Brad (seriously, I love that name hehe)
Artificial Light
This polish is a true stunner! It features an almost black base, which leans a tad bit towards a very dark brown and a very, very dark red burgundy shimmer, one coat is enough to achieve the color in the bottle, how nice is that? It does remind me somewhat of OPI's Midnight in Moscow, which has a little darker red shimmer in it though, here is a comparison pic:
top: Midnight in Moscow

So that's it for now, hope I won't get stuck somewhere again anytime soon...

Club Austin Kincaid in-depth review: There are 66 photo galleries and almost 100 videos on this stunning website. The pictures vary in their resolution but are most often around 853x1280. Each and every photo-set can be downloaded in a Zip file. Videos and movies are only available for streaming with the top resolution being 1200x700 which is the main downside.
What Austin Kincaid gets up to in her videos and photos ranges from solo masturbation through lesbian action and lots of hardcore fun. Austin has a fine figure with lots of curves, so anything she does can elicit sighs and orgasms. With breasts as big as hers, it's inevitable that porn studs will want to bang her boobs, so you can enjoy that as well as many other kinky acts in the sack, like footjobs which she seems to be particularly skilled at.
Club Austin Kincaid comes with access to 9 other solo sites like Fantasy Girl Carmella, Ultimate Fantasy Girls, Catalina Cruz and more. So if you happen to get through all that's available here, you can head over to any of the other sites and knock yourself out.
With so many great things here a few cons are inevitable and they're mostly tied to the user interface. This site should focus some time on finding a way to better categorize the content, but other than that the navigation seems intuitive and easy. Each section and menu work fine and offer easy browsing. The main concern with Club Austin Caid is whether it's still updating because her diary, for example, hasn't been updated in a few years.

One of the most respected thinkers and Science Fiction writers of the past century. Born in Lviv in 1921, died in 2006 in Kraków.
Stanisław Lem, Kraków, 1971, photo: Jakub Grelowski/PAP
Stanisław Lem has been a key representative of Polish literature for decades. The works of this futurologist and essayist have been translated into 41 languages and have sold over 27 million copies. In 1976, Lem was claimed to be the most widely read science-fiction writer in the world.
Educated as a physician and scientific theorist, Lem possessed expert knowledge of the theory of evolution, mathematics, robotics, astronomy and physics, as well as a deep acquaintance with literature and many other fields. He became a universal "wisdom seeker", a philosopher, and - at first - a proponent of the developments of science and technology. A master of science fiction, Lem was nevertheless atypical of the writers in that genre. He chose the form in the late 1940s, when the political oppression of Stalinism made open expression in contemporary novels impossible for him. Perhaps due to this conditioning, the world presented in Lem's works differs from the reality known in typical science fiction.Many elements of his reality are constructed in such a way as to create the impression of future normality and daily routine.
The first novel, which faced constant publishing problems due to censorship, was entitled The Hospital of the Transfiguration. Within a contemporary setting of this early work we can already see themes fundamental to Lem's oeuvre: the nature of human thought and identity, and the ethical problems facing science. He continued developing these issues within the genre of science-fiction in subsequent writings, comprising novels, stories and plays. In his space exploration stories, Lem poses questions about the role of necessity and accident in physics, as well as the relation between biology and human culture.
He envisions the future development of technology and its consequences for human kind. And finally, he reflects upon the existence and nature of God and transcendence as well as the possibility of communicating with the alien - understood both as unknown forms of intelligent life and as the Other. In his reflections on the basic problems of biology, ethics, and politics, Lem analysed paradoxes which arise within social progress, simultaneously with the mastering of technological barriers. The plots of his novels and stories are at times positive or grotesquely funny, playing with various literary styles and conventions. While rich in philosophical subtexts, Lem's fictions are always engrossing and suspenseful. Stories of individuals (whether humans or fantastic robots) engage the reader with emotions stemming from true contact with the Other, and the confrontation with the limits of one's own nature.
Lem's collections of essays are not as well known as his novels outside of Poland. These works include The Dialogues, Summa Technologiae, The Philosophy of Chance, Fantasy and Futurology, The Sex Wars and The Mystery of the Chinese Room. Yet they do seem to be works that reflect Lem's philosophical system and ideas in the most explicit way.
It is especially in these essays that the reader can enjoy the broad-minded nature of Lem's fascinations and their universal perspective, as well the genius of his predictions about technological and scientific development. In his late years, Lem gave up writing fantastic tales and remained a prolific writer of essays and short stories, continuing to reach an established and enthusiastic audience.

The latest from TheBlaze.com:
A poster notifying law enforcement to be on the lookout for four men over "suspicious activity" observed near the Pentagon was posted online by a reporter Wednesday night.
WTTG-TV reporter Emily Miller tweeted the leaked BOLO alert, writing, "This is scary."
This is scary: Be On The Lookout alert for these men on DC metro at Pentagon. Note it was a warm on Sunday. pic.twitter.com/hkgTuhBgKx
— Emily Miller (@EmilyMiller) November 19, 2015
According to the alert, Metro Transit Police was requesting assistance in efforts "to identify the above pictured individuals in reference to suspicious activity that was observed at the Pentagon Metro Station."
The "suspicious activity" was said to have occurred Sunday, but it wasn't clear what the individuals were seen doing. The poster urged those with information about their identities to call a particular detective.
After the alert was leaked online, the Metro Transit Police Department said on Twitter that it would not confirm or deny the poster's authenticity.
"MTPD does not comment on non-public material," the department said.
The response infuriated and perplexed many.
.@MetroTransitPD This is the worst possible response you could have offered.
— Matt Lee (@APDiploWriter) November 19, 2015
@MetroTransitPD the item the reporter tweeted is now public. if it's not legitimate, the public deserves to know.

@MetroTransitPD but it has your logos and your contact info. Can you confirm/deny it's not someone impersonating you?
— FixWMATA (@FixWMATA) November 19, 2015
@MetroTransitPD @WaltWhipman cannot confirm/deny? If this is a real threat, doesn't the public deserve to know?
— Nick Hawatmeh (@HawatmehNick) November 19, 2015
The alert comes after the Islamic State named D.C. as a target following attacks last week in Paris, France. "We will strike America at its center in Washington," the group warned in an ominous this week.

Allow me, if you will, to have a little natter about Timberland Boots. In particular, allow me to talk about their stalwart design; the timeless behemoth they call the Premium Classic. Firstly cheap timberland boots online , if I may, I'd like to begin with a question. What's in a name? Well, with the Timberland Premium Classic at least, there's pretty much everything you need to know. Yes, these boots are pretty much unique in as much as that they're the only pair of men's boots I'm aware of that live up to their name. Let's look at the premium side of things first. Price wise, yes they're certainly sport more towards the penthouse than the bargain basement, but they're by no means overpriced. Far from it in fact. In my somewhat humble of opinions, they're bang on the money. When it comes to certain things, paying a bit more is often the only way to guarantee you're getting cheap timberland boots china the quality. If you're looking to head out for a night on the tiles, then there's little point in gorging yourself on caviar and Kobe beef before you hit the tequila, as it's only going to find its way back up before long. You get yourself something cheap and easy to line your stomach. If however you're looking to go for a weeklong trek across the Kalahari Desert, then you'd be sensible to invest in a seriously cheap timberland boots decent pair of boots. Buy the cheapos from dodgy Ken at the market and you'll live to regret it after the first blister appears. So there we have it; quality really does have a price. Don't allow yourself to entertain the idea of cheaping out when it comes to buying a pair of boots, as you'll rue the day you did it. Mark my words www.tradingspring.cn.
Moving swiftly on, like a possum in a hang glider, we arrive at the next big point. The Classic. If you've seen a pair of theses Timberland Boots then you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. They were an instant classic way back when they were released. Frappe cheap timberland shoes outlet knows when that was, but they've been around for as long as I can remember. Today they have been gifted an almost ethereal status, and hold the coveted place in many a mind as the world's best boot. It's a simple enough recipe. Firstly, you need to create a pair of rugged, hard wearing outdoor boots. No real issues there, one might say. And one would indeed be right. Many have tried to emulate Timberlands success, and for the most part they've managed to do this basketball first task most admirably. Where they've fallen flat on their rubber soled faces however, is with the second task. Yes, the dreaded second task. What Timberland have managed to do, not uniquely it must be said, is to create a pair of rugged, hard wearing outdoor boots, that look so good that they appeal to the youth of the era. This is the single most important and defining factor for the success that Timberland Boots have seen. You need to be able to tap into the fashion market. Manage this, and you'll be guaranteed to make enough money to live out the rest of cheap timberland shoes for sale your days eating candyfloss and tickling other people's otters. If you like that sort of thing, of course. So I guess the Premium Classic more than lives up to it name. If you're after a flimsy, knockoff pair of glorified socks with a smelly piece of rubber on the bottom, then have a chat with dodgy Ken. If you want something Premium and Classic, then get yourself some Timberland Boots. You may be wondering where to look for genuine cheap timberland shoes china timberland boots? Well, all you have to do is log on to www.shoes.co.uk and get one pair. Your search will end here www.buyshoesclothing.cn.

Finally I have regained some time and on-line connection to write a little more on the blog. I would like to take the opportunity to dig through a long list of podcasts I listened to in the past months and give them short reviews as yet.
The first I bump into, was relatively recently on my playlist. An issue from Big Ideas (TVO). They rerun a short lecture from 2002: Robert K. Logan on The Origin and Evolution of Language. In this lecture Logan not only explains how, in his view, language evolved, but also how it continues to evolve and affects human evolution until this day. In this respect he treats the internet also as 'language', which sounds more confusing than it pans out in the lecture. The basic tenet is that humanity has been able to progress dramatically every time it improved the efficacy and abstract quality of its communications. (feed)
The result is a stimulating and thought-provoking lecture. The only drawback is that the lecture is too short (24 minutes) to dig deep enough and with the amount of mental leaps Logan presents, I got to feel rather uncomfortable and unconvinced. It all seemed a bit too simplified. An example of such is to explain the progress of the West in comparison with China from the alphabet, which is more abstract and reductional than the Chinese character-based script. Really? That takes more than a claim, that needs quite a lengthy argument.

Calm and reassuring, the figure of a circle makes us think of a great big hug, and Georgia Lindsay, a finalist in the 2014 Grand Designs Garden Design competition, created a garden full of them. We met the London-based designer during a family day out to the Grand Designs show last Spring and instantly knew we had to help her show it off!
The colours and shapes of this wonderfully child friendly space made my children beam, a response Georgia was clearly aiming for:
"The circles were very deliberate. Soft curves seem much friendlier and child orientated than angular lines." I also was taken with the boldness of simple colours and shapes that were. . .well, appealing.
A penchant for clean lines were traded in for a family garden resplendent with circles in order to create a family friendly and appropriate design.
"I am actually known for doing very clean lined contemporary gardens but for this Family Garden I made a deliberate decision to smooth out all the edges."
The garden upholds the circular theme, from the choice of a single proliferating bloom–a daisy–to the circular-seats of the beautiful steel swing and Georgia's signature 'Bub Tub' kiddie seats to the holes dug as an interchangeable sandpit or paddling pool or trampline recess, or even a fire pit for some grown-up fun!
The seating area is inviting, comfortable, and purposeful. The softly circular theme is maintained whilst remembering that children DO go to bed (after helping to put the toys away, of course) and then the adults do not want to be sat in the middle of a landscaped toy shop. To that end, she has oh-so-cleverly devised turfed fitting lids for the play pits.
So how did she dream up this amazing landscape? "The brief of the competition this year was introducing colour to your garden," she tells us. "It would have been too predictable using colourful plants to fulfil this brief so I purposely didn't use any flowers with colour and chose the white daisies and green grass as a neutral palette."
Atop this neutral palette are the play spaces and sitting spaces: a beautiful wrought metal swing seat hovers over a dug-out circle, giving the feeling of depth. The gentle steps up and down were designed to make the terrain easily navigable for little ones. She is a mum of two toddlers, ages 2 years and 9 months and 11months, so the well-imagined and safely realised space is a true labour of love: "The garden was really a tribute to them," she says, and "completely designed for that age group, hence the curved lines and easy heights to navigate."
Since the show this Spring, Georgia has been overwhelmed with interest in her design and for the "Bub Tub" she designed for the garden. "The reusable quality of them really has appealed to people. As we parents all know we go through kids' paraphernalia so quickly as they grow out of things so fast."
Innovative yet practical. And we really like that.
Creating Your Own Garden
Georgia's design was purpose-built as a small show space, but you can use some of her great ideas in your own garden, large or small.
Do consider the shapes of the things in your garden–choose furniture, flower beds, and blooms with rounded edges instead of sharp, angular ones. Georgia recommends sunflowers for rapid and impressive growth.
And back to the theme of purposeful–why not incorporate edible, weed-controlling blooms? "Strawberries are another great one, not only do you get the thrill of picking the juicy fruit but also the added pleasure of putting them to bed in a little nest of straw. All veggies give great satisfaction, I don't think anyone could ever tire of the thrill of pulling a carrot from the ground and the condensed carroty smell which fills the air."
This garden is so chock full of playfulness, irresistibly so. Mumsnet Local and Wanstead's neighbourhood pub, The Duke, would love for you to play along, so here's your big chance.
We'd love to hear your suggestions for simple, affordable child-friendly home gardens. The winner will receive a pair of Georgia's signature Bub Tubs, pictured here. These are valued at £45 each. If you'd like to get up close and personal with the Bub Tubs, they'll be at The Duke in Wanstead from Friday, July 25th until the competition closes.
Entries will be accepted from Friday, July 25th until Midnight on Sunday August 3rd. The winner will be chosen by Georgia Lindsay herself.
If you're having trouble thinking of ideas, our friend at Mumsnet Suffolk and Norfolk has some great ones on her blog.
When you're ready, post your idea to the Talk thread on Mumsnet Local – Redbridge. You must post your entry by midnight on Sunday August 3rd, 2014.
Good luck and have a wonderful, playful summer!

TIE-Wing Starfighter
The TIE-Wing is, like the name implies, a composite starfighter created using
parts from several different vessels - an ugly. Uglies are common among most
space vermin, such as pirates, privateers and smugglers. Others construct these
vessels as a hobby, but this hobby is usually restricted to individuals with
the credits, the time and the knowledge to invest.
The TIE-Wing became a notable ugly design after the basic plans and instructions
on how to cheaply construct one were freely distributed across the Holonet and
other means. The original designer, a man by the name of Veg Arboro from the
Venkothian system, designed and built the first TIE-Wing in his spare time. So
proud of his creation, he chose to freely distribute the plans and instructions
to anyone who wanted a copy.
The TIE wing is a bastardization of three vessels, a TIE fighter, an X-wing and
a Y-wing. The main fuselage of the vessel consists of that from an X-wing. All
four original X-wing engines are present on the TIE-Wing, but the S-foils were
heavily modified.
The S-foils are what really made the TIE-Wing a notable and successful ugly
design. Unlike the X-wing in form, the bottom two S-foils were removed from
the design completely and the top two were locked up in a permanent "attack
position" with a laser cannon on the tips. Interestingly enough, the S-foils
were not taken from the X-wing, but rather the TIE fighter - they are solar
These solar-powered S-foils provided a unique way to power the laser cannons
independently from the ship's main generator, allowing a greater deal of power
from the main generator to be sent to other vital systems. In the event of a
catastrophic failure of the main power generator, the solar panels could be
rerouted to provide minimul power to the rest of the ship - just enough to limp
back home.
The only drawback to these solar panels is that they were somewhat more fragile
and expensive to repair than the standard S-foils found on an X-wing. Extensive
or extreme atmospheric travel in the TIE-Wing could warp, bend or even snap one
of these solar S-foils and cause extensive damage to the ship.
All of the systems found within the fuselage of an X-wing are also found within
the fuselage of the TIE-Wing, except for sensors and the cockpit displays.
Located at the nose of the ship are the sensors, in the same exact spot as on an
X-wing. However, the X-wing's sensors were removed and replaced with a dome-like
sensor package which would be found on the front end of a Y-wing's engine nacelle.
Many Y-wings, especially of the Longprobe variant, carried better long range sensors
than an X-wing or a TIE fighter and replacements could be found for much cheaper.
The cockpit displays were butchered, incorporating concepts from all three fighters
and providing the pilot with one of the best Heads Up Displays, targetting systems,
sensor displays, communications systems and astromech interfaces that any fighter
of the era could offer. While it all worked well (if it was properly constructed),
it usually wasn't the most attractive cockpit in the galaxy. Panels were commonly
molded on top of one another, sometimes just bolted together with wires hanging out
and open spaces where there shouldn't have been.
An average person could probably construct a TIE-Wing with spending as little as
40,000 credits. Depending upon supply and demand, the cost could go as high as
70,000 credits to get the job done - and this is assuming that it will be built
first hand, and not by a contractor.
Due to the availability of the plans and parts needed to construct it, the TIE-Wing
was a fairly common ugly - as common as an ugly can be. Veg Arboro enjoyed getting
feedback about his design, and tried his best to track how many of his TIE-Wings were
being built. To the best of his knowledge, there were over three hundred constructed
across the galaxy by a wide array of collectors, enthusiasts and mechanics. However,
not everyone who used the designs took the time or effort to let Veg know, wanting
their new fighters to be kept a secret.

There is no significant business process running today that doesn't involve IT. In fact, most businesses today are so dependent on IT that without they would have to shut down.
And yet, the visibility that IT provides business executives into those processes is at best limited. CA Technologies is trying to address that specific issue with the release of CA Executive Insight for Service Assurance (CA Executive Insight).
Launched this week at the CA World 2011 conference, Mike Sargent, general manager for service assurance at CA Technologies, says that business executives are generally frustrated with investments in IT because those investments don't easily translate into an ability to run the business better.
CA Executive Insight, he says, addresses that issue by leveraging CA Technologies to give business executives a set of self-service dashboards that they can access using any device, including the latest Apple iPad and Google Android mobile computing tablets.
The real issue, of course, is that business executives don't want to have to rely on IT to configure reports or wait until they get back to the office to make a business decision. What they want is a customizable set of reports that they can take anywhere with them to check the status of any element of the business in real time.
CA Executive Insight, says Sargent, leverages application performance management technologies from CA Technologies to specifically address the needs of the line-of-business executives who see IT as a vehicle through which they should be able to run the business better. All they really need, says Sargent, is a set of real-time tools that are written in the language of the business executive rather than the IT professional.
While there is a lot of talk about IT agility these days, what many executives really want is business agility, but that can't happen unless they have some real insights into what is actually happening to the business at any given moment.

The 52-year-old former detective has made a fortune selling a book and TV documentary claiming the young British girl is dead - and wrongly claiming her parents staged a cover-up.
Really Sky 'news'. Where is your 'source' for this?? How do you know he's 'made a fortune??? Figures please!
"Amaral has made the McCann family's life hell and he has made himself rich in the process," a family source said.
He's rich?? Are you sure Mr/Mrs 'Family Source.....because the man himself seems less sure of this 'fact'.....
This interview seems to present a different story.
Kate and Gerry want to stop him spouting his malicious lies about them and to stop him profiting from their pain, and the only way to do that is by going to court
Yep, I'm sure AMARAL probably feels the same way. Let's see what happens in court.
In their writ, the McCanns describe the now-retired detective as a self-obsessed, manipulative money-grabber with no morals.
This beggars belief!....SLANDER......MUCH????? We can say this about HIM, but not about THEM???? Why??????
They claim Mr Amaral's repeated insistence that their daughter is dead discouraged people from looking for her.
Tosh, utter tosh! We've all been hoping, praying, looking for four years. Of course she's most likely dead! Doesn't mean we've all given up hope. What utter rubbish and biased 'journalism' (and I use that word lightly!)
The couple also describe in detail the pain and anguish they say Mr Amaral caused them by repeatedly smearing them - saying his slurs left them "totally destroyed".
Hypocrites!! If it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander! Read about what happened to HIS life as a result of the Madeleine case.....oh, but you never see that in the UK press.....
She had been left sleeping in a holiday apartment as her parents dined with friends in a nearby tapas bar in the resort of Praia da Luz in southern Portugal.
And here we go, you finally report a true fact....which speaks for itself.
The country's attorney general Jose Pinto Monteiro has cleared the McCanns of any wrongdoing over Madeleine's disappearance.
Not true, it was merely concluded that there was not enough evidence to convict anybody....that's ANYBODY.
Nobody cleared, nobody convicted.
So the wonderful Sky News......the only question which remains for me to you is this.....who the heck is pulling your strings??? Oh sorry, dumb question........

Daryl collects here at Dockweiller Beach in the LA area for 2 years & counting!
4 days of Community Count Cleanups come from here - The Baltic Sea
Santa Barbara - two Community Counts come from here
First of all, I would like to thank all of the people who reached out with emails, and comments after reading about The Daily Ocean in the LA times last month. It was a thrill to read so many good wishes and kind words about this project. I've also had the chance to meet a few of you, and that is also a real treat.
This past month I was chained to my computer for most of the day finishing a project that has taken nearly four years. I completed the draft last Thurs. knowing full well that it doesn't stop there. But it does mean that I get a reprieve from the intensity of writing for many hours a day and now I am chained to my desk answering back-logged emails.
Actually, I am enjoying pouring over emails from people who have written in about what they have found on their walks, on their beaches. There are so many of you that I have to dedicate an entire post to your efforts. I'm really looking forward to compiling all of your hard work here. It inspires me to no end. I hope you find that these people have the same effect on you. Again, my sincerest thanks.

2. Ginger Taylor - Wrightsville Beach, N.C.
I have two collections to report about from her.
She walked for 20 minutes near beach access 33 and found 1.7 pounds. Here is her list of trash:
74 cigarette butts
7 bottle caps
5 straws
1 wiffle ball
1 mini New Hanover Wildcats basketball (the kind they throw out at the game)
1 unused large black garbage bag
1 walmart plastic bag
4 Styrofoam cups
1 netting (the kind that beach toys are packaged in)
2 zip lock bags
1 cigar tip
3 balloons
1 hat
1 plastic spoon
other bits and bobs
Her second collection took place in the woods: All things roll down hill, all drains lead to the ocean....
Today we picked up 14 lb. 11.4 oz. of trash in a little over an hour while we walked the dog and played with other dogs. Most of the trash came from behind Carlton Place apartments. It looks as though residents party up and throw their beer and cigarette butts over the fence into the woods. Another "dirty" area was the Hooker Rd. access to the forest. There we picked up many many plastic bottles and aluminum cans as well as two bags of something poopy---yuck yuck yuck!
Here is a list of our loot:
2 beer case boxes
14 plastic bottles
a pile of rusted survey flags (plastic flags)
5 glass bottles
16 aluminum cans
4 plastic cups
3 straws
1 styrofoam cup
5 glass bottles
2 dirty diapers
2 plastic bags of poop
5 plastic bags
lots of other bibs and bobs of plastic and styrofoam stuff.
3. Patricia is a professor at Santa Barbara Community College. She takes her students out every Sunday! That's right - every Sunday time depending on the tide. They have a FB page I can't see since I don't have a personal FB account. But you probably can!
Look up - Beach Angels on FB to see what they are up to.
I will be going up to the Santa Barbara area to collect with them, and another woman who contacted me from the area. Stay tuned for those results.
4. James - Long Beach already baught a scale to go out with, and he will report back to me when he has the chance to head to the beach.
5. Rebecca - Santa Barbara - collects trash when she walks her dog (I've learned that many people do this, yay!) I've pasted a few lines from her email here because it makes me smile. Especially the last line.
When out with Ruby the Jack Russell, I pick up litter for our 1 to 2 mile walks/6 days weekly. Plastic, glass, ciggy butts, dog poop, clothing, cardboard, paper, on and on.
I calculatee poundage in my head and multiply by the imaginary if 1,000 people in SB did what I do, we could keep______pounds per year from reaching the ocean.
Your pictures and precision make it much better but just so you know.
We are out here!

6. Arleen - Martha's Vineyard. She was one of the first people to follow The Daily Ocean on twitter. She also came out for a cleanup at the end of the summer when she was visiting her daughter who lives in Santa Monica. And recently she went to her own beach to see what she could find while also dragging out her kitchen scale. I love LOVE LOVE this photograph.
Arleen was bummed to find that her, "quiet Martha's Vineyard Squibnocket beach" was not very clean like she thought it would be. She found 3.6 pounds in 20 min.
Some of the items she collected were:
a buoy
a slipper
some jeans
and balloon ribbon
Sounds very much like the beach in Santa Monica. See a trend?
*if you click on these images they enlarge.
7. Daryl emailed me from the LA area. She has been doing what I do with The Daily Ocean for over 2 years! Bravo! She cleans a stretch of beach from Marina Del Ray to Dockweiller Beach (notoriously dirty). Daryl said that the most frequently found item out there are plastic straws. Here's a way to cut back on straw liter. The next time you go to a restaurant and order a drink ask them to hold the straw. It will catch on. Your friends may ask you why with a funny look on your face. You can then explain, and even if only one person catches on to the hlod the straw habbit, that is one more person than before....
Daryl says that she finds all the usual suspects like:
plastic cigar tips
plastic cups
plastic bags (see a trend forming -- it begins with the letter p...)
plastic toys
styrofoam cups
plasitc forks
but also ....
dead birds
dead sea lions
and one time:
" I even found a live fullgrown chicken in a trashcan near Marina. Freaked me out!
Keep up the good work. The oceans need our help. We are drowning in our own waste."
8. Jaqueline - Makaha, Oahu and Mauna Lanilahi Beach Park
Here's a quote from what she finds on her daily walks along the stretch of road near her house in Makaha:
I now work on my daily walk on a stretch of road and most of that stuff consists of 7/11,McDonalds, plate lunch boxes and beer bottles flung out of the cars traveling on this road. "
And another quote from her beach collections:
I filled at least 6 large garbage bags with the following items, frequently seeing myself people eat plate lunches from styrofoam containers and just getting up where they sat leaving behind the plates, folks, cups, plastic bags, condiment containers, and straws. Mothers left their dirty disposable diapers right on the beach along with their children's juice containers with straws. These people would get up from a nice lunch or day at the beach, walk by the trash can and get into their cars."
The reason that I wanted to include all of these people's findings in one post is that we are collecting the same liter from all of our beaches. And we are all seeing the same behavior.
I saw the remains from a family that got up from the sand in Santa Monica and left all of their disposable plates, forks, cups, etc. right where they were sitting.
But here is the good trend that I thought would be apparent if I shared this in one post. We all care about the beaches where we live. We are all taking the same actions to protect the ocean that we live near. We are all making a difference. Join us?

A male and two females recovered in plane wreckage
Plainview authorities have confirmed that three occupants of a single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza are dead after a plane crash in Plainview Friday night.
Authorities believe they have recovered the bodies of a male and two females from the wreckage at the Hale County Airport.
Names are being withheld pending identification and notification of family.
The three died about 9:17 p.m. Friday, May 29, when the private plane crashed while attempting to take off from Plainview-Hale County Airport.
According to reports from the scene, the plane went down on airport property. It burned on impact.
Emergency responders were still on the scene at 10:30 p.m. and blocking all entrances to the facility.
The airplane is thought to have been based in Plainview, and piloted by a local individual. According to a flight plan filed by the pilot, the aircraft was flying from Plainview to San Antonio with three people on board.
The crash may have occurred as a strong gust front was moving through the area and inclement weather likely had a factor in the crash. The airplane was inverted when it crashed. There apparently was no debris found on the runway.
FAA investigators, as well as the National Transportation Board, have been notified and will be arriving at the crash site as soon as possible. The tail number of the aircraft will be released after it is verified by investigators.
The National Transportation Safety Board will be in charge of the investigation, as well as all updates on its progress.

I haven't blogged about the immigration protests because, well, because I didn't feel like blogging about them. During a lunchtime conversation, Don Quixote and I decided we were in agreement: We believe the vitality of immigrants is good for the nation's health, and we strongly disapprove of those who break the laws as they currently exist — and who get a free pass for doing so. I'm with the Captain, who objects to those who have
the temerity to demand that we allow them to live here without following our laws governing entry into the US as well as continue to provide government services to them. In the meantime, people who come here legally and wish to stay wind up having to go home and reapply for permanent residency. Joe Gandelman has a guest poster from Britain who cannot avoid leaving the US after coming here legally and showing nothing but loyalty to his new home.
As more information comes out from the demonstrations, though, I'm getting the urge to blog. What really disturbs me about the demonstrations, as I gain more information about them, is the intense hostility they express to the United States. In the "picture is worth a thousand words" category, Michelle Malkin has this image of flags hoisted by students in Southern California:
03/28 : Student protest
Whittier area students from Pioneer, California and Whittier high schools walked out of classes to protest the proposed federal immigration bill March 27, 2006. The protestors put up the Mexican flag over the American flag flying upside down at Montebello High. (Leo Jarzomb/Staff photo)
Going back to the Captain, he points out that this hostility is part of the growth of a fringe movement, present since the late 1960s (a decade one wishes one could wipe out politically), that envisions a return to 18th Century borders:
The rallies in Southern California only ripped the lid off of a well-known dynamic in the culture that mixes native guilt with radical illegal-immigrant activism to fuel the La Raza dream of Aztlan, the reconquest of the the Southwest and its return to Mexico or existence as a separate nation. This radical notion has been around since 1969 and plays a part in the fringe politics of the Southwest. However, the increasing sense of entitlement for illegals in the area has led this impulse out of the shadows and into the forefront of the amnesty movement by enabling people to argue that the illegals are returning to their own land and that the US lacks the sovereignty to declare otherwise.
I know Aztlan is out there, but I doubt that many of these students are thinking in those specific separatist terms. They're just working off the multiculturalist template, which says that America is a debased culture and that any other culture is better. Under that rubric, there's no doubt that the American flag deserves to be treated with disrespect, especially when that disrespect is explicitly contasted with a heightened respect shown to the Mexican flag.
This kind of thinking, which is less sophisticated than the political goal Aztlan advances, still strikes me as crazy. These kids left Mexico — or their families left Mexico before their births — because America was better. Or at least they perceived it to be so. Had that not been the case, they would have stayed in Mexico. America has a better economy, America has better opportunities, America has a better lifestyle even for the poor (if by better you mean more access to modern technology such as cars, TVs, radios, computers, etc). Given the reality of their lives — leaving worse for better — why are they so bound and determined to bring about changes in America that will make it duplicate the Mexico they left behind? One word: Multiculturalism.
Thus, the irrational thinking these kids display really highlights the poison that is multiculturalism. Previous groups of immigrants sought desperately to embrace what American had to offer. The group with which I'm most familiar — and about which I can speak with most authority — is the Jewish group that flooded into America from the 1880s through the early 1910s or so. They knew what they were escaping: the economic dead-end of the shtetls, a dead-end enlivened periodically by murderous pogroms. When they got to America, they knew what they wanted: they wanted their children to leave the tenements and become true Americans, with myriad economic opportunities. They knew how to achieve it: through education and hard work. Another group that has followed this same escape and success story is, of course, the Asian immigrant group, a group that the multiculturalist poison has pretty much bypassed.
And then there are the Latin American immigrants. Many — most? — are incredibly hardworking people, grateful for the opportunity to make a better life for themselves and their family. However, a disproportionately large minority came here to escape the bad times in Latin America, only to be embraced by a multiculturalism that says you can have it all: American prosperity, without American hard work, without American English, and without abiding by American laws. And the fruit of that terrible mindset has been on display in the streets of L.A.
Truth be told, while I was pretty passive about the whole immigration reform thing before, seeing these demonstrations has very much hardened my view. I want (a) much harsher enforcement of immigration laws and (b) a federal edit requiring schools to teach old-fashioned civics — a civics that was about the benefits of being in American, and the concurrent burdens and responsibilities — if they don't wish to lose federal funds.
UPDATE: For more information about the mechanics behind the rallies, check out this Ben Johnson article.
UPDATE II: Please, please read Peggy Noonan's lyrically beautifully Wall Street Journal column about teaching immigrants to love our country.

How Aimee Song Keeps Her Skin Flawless When She Flies
Aimee Song is an endless source of style inspiration, but we're all ears when it comes to her beauty pointers as well. The bonafide jet-setter spilled her secrets for how she keeps her skin healthy and fresh, even though she travels nine months of the year.
Song says she combats the havoc flying can wreak on your skin by always going with no makeup. By staying fresh-faced for the flight, her skin stays healthy, but she does admit she keeps some cosmetic essentials in her carry-on. "I always bring the Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Infusion de Rose Nourishing Oil to keep my skin hydrated on the plane," she admits to Allure, "along with some other essential products just in case my checked luggage doesn't make it."
Do you have any in-flight tricks for keeping your face refreshed while you travel? Share your own tips with us in the comments.

What a fun and busy year it has been in LP art, here is a look at our last couple of weeks in the art room.
R2 Artistes
Crazy Faces: Looking at Asymmetry
R2 Students looked at all facial features, face shape, eyes, nose, mouth, ears and hair. Then we looked at how these can match.....or not!
Then people designed their own very crazy faces....
Then we began to create in collage, shaping the face and adding the eyes.
Look at the detail we used!
People practiced counting to 20 to make sure stuff sticks!
Looks at our faces!
These are all probably at home with you right now!
See you next year in Grade One everyone!
Grade One Creative Beings
Islamic Tiles: Rotational printing
Once again we looked at the tile decorations on the outside of these amazing mosques and we collected some of the motifs and shapes that we had noticed:
These were some of the main shapes that we found:
As you can see the next stage was to take the motifs and craft those into a small square shape using the same methodology that we had found on the islamic tiles. A central shape and some 1/2 shapes at the side.
This design was then carved into our small foam board tile
Ready for us to apply the colour using paint
Then after we applied the paint, we placed the tile upside-down strategically on the paper pointing at the magic dot......
Ask your children how they knew how to place their tile.
Look what happens when the tile is printed more than once.....
What a marvellous job the first graders did.........see you all in Grade Two folks!!!
Grade Two

It seems like every week a new retweet group gets formed, complete with a new hashtag, and it's getting a little silly. I've seen tweets this week where hashtags make up 2/3rds of the tweet - or the author sends the same thing out 5 times with the differing hashtags.
Here are the ones we've spotted:
· #AHA - (Authors helping authors)
· #HYFA2 (Help your fellow author too)
· #WLCAuthor (World lit cafe author - used for their tweet teams)
· #GRTweet (Good reads tweet group)
· #Goodreads (generic goodreads hashtag)
· #RT (bet you can't guess what RT stands for).
· #IAN (Indie Author Network)
· #AuthorRT
· #Amreading
· #Amediting
· #Ampublishing
· #ebook
· #kindle
· #Nook
· #Droid
· #fiction (and #genre - won't list em 'all)
· #FF #WW #MM #SS (For those who aren't fluent in Twit, that's Follow Friday, writer Wednesday, mention Monday and sample Sunday.)
I think we've got way too many. It's mostly authors tweeting to other authors over and over. Normal readers don't check most of those. It's nice to get a million retweets... but are they converting into sales? If not, maybe it's time to pare back to a less aggressive use of hashtagging.Any obvious ones I've missed? Do you use them all? Are you tired of seeing these tags in every other tweet?

Today Amazon offers Greyhound by Steffan Piper just for $0.99
11-year-old Sebastien Ranes is taking a trip. He doesn't exactly understand why, but he accepts it. His mother often seems too emotionally detached to care for him. Her latest boyfriend Dick takes cruel pleasure in mimicking the boy's stuttering, and wants to live his life without "somebody else's kid" getting in the way. So it's no surprise when they pack his bags to send him away. It is a surprise when they send him alone.
Ushered from his Stockton, California home, Sebastien must fend for himself and travel two thousand miles across the country to live with his grandmother and sister in Pennsylvania. Along the way, he learns that sometimes caring, guidance and understanding can come from some unlikely people.
Marcus is a man who has been neglected more by society than his family. As a young black ex-con, he is not the epitome of the person most would pick as a chaperone for their child's cross country trip. Yet rather than be held apart by their differences, Marcus and Sebastien are drawn together by the things that make us all alike. As both guide and protector, Marcus imparts his own style of wisdom while showing Sebastien that, despite the darker side of the human condition, people can and do care for one another.
Greyhound is the story of the journey taken by a young boy into manhood, and by the reader into his world. Like every trip, there are many stops along the way. But this journey differs in the way young Sebastien arrives at his destination.
Some words about the Author
Steffan Piper was born in Pennsylvania and raised in England and various parts of Alaska. During his time in Alaska, the Mayor of Nome asked him to 'leave and never return', due to a minor misunderstanding. Steffan currently lives on the outskirts of Los Angeles with his family.

(SALEM) - 51-year-old James Smith was sentenced to 10 years in jail after he plead guilty to robbing a clerk at knife point at the Sprint Station on South Main Street in Salem, Easter morning.
The clerk called police at 1:27 a.m. reporting the robbery.
The clerk told police a man had entered the store to use the restroom. When he came out there were no customers in the store and that is when he showed the clerk a knife and demanded money.
Smith got $600 and then fled the store.
A customer in the parking lot also dialed 911.
Smith was captured after his photo was caught on the store's surveillance video and from descriptions of witnesses at the store. He was arrested a short time after the robbery.

Ultra Thread 70 denier is great for small flies. There is little or no thread build up, reducing eye crowding. Great for size #18 and smaller, especially midges, allows you to have more say so on how the body looks b/c of the low to 0 thread build up. I recomend this to anyone tying primarily #18 & smaller.
This is the standard to which all thread should be measured. While I tend to switch to a stronger thread for some streamers, this thread is great for dry flies, nymphs, and even strong enough for most streamers.
I can't imagine a better thread than Ultra 70, especially for tying classic wet flies and Atlantic salmon flies. It's strong, lays flat and comes in all the right colors. The only drawback I've found is that Ultra 70 white thread occasionally tangles on the spool. Other colors don't seem to have the problem.
Sits flat on the hook when you need it to and can easily cord up. Easy to split for dubbing loops and comes in a number of colors. This is the thread I usually have on my bobbin. Works well for small flies too!
I tried a spool of this thread after using mostly UNI thread. I love how i can untwist it and make it lay flat for minimal build up, or twist it to make more of a cord. Thread it also pretty strong, i have never broken it and I am a novice flytyer

That's right baby! These walls are goin' down and the master en-suite makeover has officially begun! Let's be real, I can put up with the inconvenience of a small shower, but it's more than just an inconvenience for my 6'6" hubby! You think there's –what– maybe about an inch of clearance there? (IF that!) And he hasn't even stepped up into the elevated basin!
How does someone of ^that^ manly size move his arms in a stall this narrow? He practically has to fold in half to get his head under the poorly placed nozzle… heck even I have to bend my knees slightly to get my hair wet! And why did they go overboard in the 60's, building these low-hanging soffits like they were going out of style??? (Oh wait, because they WERE!) I'm assuming an architect woke up one day after bashing his head on the drop-ceiling and thought…. W.T.H. Then he turned his profanity into sanity and started designing houses with vaulted ceilings –#welcometothe80's y'all!
In order to expand the shower, we cut up and over to the left, removing the soffits and absorbing some of the space from the huge linen closet in the hallway located on the other side of this wall…
I was the camera/clean-up crew (ps. remodel debris is HEAVY!), and my brother came over to help Jared with the muscle work (I have the best brothers)…
LOOK AT THIS TRANSFORMATION! It looks so much bigger already!
^^^ IS IT JUST ME, OR DID MY HUSBAND GET smaller!? ^^^
Now we wait for the plumber…. and we have to move out while he replaces ALL the fixtures in our house! Dang galvanized plumbing is biting us in the butt right now – but once all 3 bathrooms, kitchen, laundry, EVERYTHING is redone, we will feel like a weight is off our chest! We have ceiling leaks, water damage and falling sheet rock in the kitchen and dining room (a ticking time bomb at this point), near-to-no hot water pressure in the kitchen sink, NO hot water whatsoever in the master or guest bath, 3 pipes that are completely corroded and plugged, and sometimes the water comes out brown/rusty! So needless to say, we're anxious and ready to drop some cash, knock this thing out and get it behind us before something worse happens!
In the meantime, can't wait to show you all the virtual designs of the master en-suite my sis is drawing up… so stay tuned!

What do we do here? We take it in stride. We take what we can get and maximize our time.This year between the daily life stuff, I played with a bit of fiber crafts. I found on Pinterest some cute little bird designs and took some creative license. So I pulled out the embroidery hoop and thread, and made these cute little hen and rooster designs on our pillow cases. Yes, I am chicken obsessed, how can I not be! My poor husband has to sleep with chickens now. Honestly, he did not mind and to join in the fun, he set his alarm clock on his phone to a rooster crowing. Yeah, the first morning I heard it I jumped up half asleep, thinking our hens were crowing, stumbled into the wall while trying to get dressed. Ha! Ha! Honey, I hope you enjoyed your laugh.
My next project is doing a blanket for my youngest son. I am crocheting it. Now, I am far from fiber craft perfection and still have a LOT to learn. At this time I can just do the basics. Knit and purl, single and double crochet, and do the basic stitches in embroidery.
My goal is to learn more. I am such a hands on learner, that watching a video or looking at book are not always the best way for me to learn. Locally we have a Fiber Crafts group that meet a few times a month. I hope to get to one of those craft days and learn some new skills.
Hopefully, I can do this before the weather gets warmer, because after that happens, It is all about Garden 2013!

Miriam Makeba, also known as "Mama Africa" died of a heart attack at the age of 76 after performing at a concert in Italy against organized crime.
The Guardian reports that "The event was held in support of writer Roberto Saviano, who is currently in hiding after receiving death threats from the Neopolitan "mafia" following the publication of his book Gomorrah." Makeba spent her life battling apartheid and corruption, and spent much of it in exile for her political activities and art.
