So clever! Cheers to another month of writing and publishing each day!ReplyDelete
I love it! I'm going to tuck this away in my "swipe" file. I always enjoy reading your blog. It has given me the inspiration to call myself a writer and for this I thank you!ReplyDelete
Love it! I think I will make time to read over my own posts this weekend, as a trip down memory lane. I've so enjoyed slicing with you this month!ReplyDelete
Seeing all of the topics together really makes me realize the scope of this challenge. It becomes a little journal of our thoughts for this month. Hope you keep slicing so this poem keeps on growing!ReplyDelete
Amazing...truly amazing. Your titles, through your working to position them just right, formed a meaningful poem! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
I tried to do this, but it was hard and I set the attempt aside. Maybe another year. Or maybe a little private post-SOLSC reflection.ReplyDelete
Congrats on another March completed.
Love it! I ended last March this way, and am working on this year's version to post today.ReplyDelete
I've never done this, but it's a clever idea! I'd love to try it out. Yours is really well done! :)ReplyDelete
Perfect ending to a great month of writing! I never manage to read all the posts I want in March, but I'll be back to catch a few I missed.ReplyDelete
I played with this idea, but couldn't make it fit together. You, however, have a great poem that flows. No one would ever know that these were titles of posts. Well done, Michelle!ReplyDelete
You did a beautiful job, Michelle. It's a challenge to make them make sense, but it feels like you, too, a huge focus on loving writing! Love it!ReplyDelete
What a lovely and meaningful way to celebrate a month of writing, Michelle.ReplyDelete
I love everything about this poem. I think I may have to try it and see what a poem of my slice titles looks like. Happy slicing!ReplyDelete
What a wonderful way collect and remember this month of writing. Thank you for sharing.ReplyDelete
What a creative way to end the month and create a poem!ReplyDelete
This is such a great idea and a wonderful way to sum up and honor the March SOLSC! It's always such a bittersweet day. It's great to be connected through this amazing journey year after year!ReplyDelete
Glad I "found" your "found" poem this morning. Glad I found YOU in the SOL world!ReplyDelete
What a great way to end the month!ReplyDelete

This channa salad is my favourite. It is very easy to make and tastes really nice. The salad is not only a starter but also a side dish in itself. Infact, Salads - if dished up interestingly, can be a meal by themselves. And with a few smart combinations of the vegetables you like and the dressings, you can make this salad attractive. Here is my way:
2. Wash and pressurecook in good amount of water, since the channa will first bloat a third it size on soaking, then double that on pressurecooking. So it is imperative that soaking is done, and not direct pressurecooking for best results.
3. Pressurecook for at least 5-6 whistles, to be done. If channa has for some reason not been soaked in advance, then add a pinch of soda bicarb to the water, while pressurecooking, to aid cooking from within.
6. Ready to eat.

NFL Players & Autocorrect
Autocorrect…what a pain in the ass. I've found it to be an incredible inconvenience on my phone until yesterday. I was trying to tweet the word Flacco and it kept autocorrecting to flaccid. This made me chuckle, it also caused my warped mind to start thinking…what other players out their have an interesting autocorrect?
This is totally juvenile, I know…which makes it right up my alley. All of the autocorrected names below are 100% real. I have a Verizon Droid and when I type in the player's name the corresponding autocorrect comes up. I've decided to go ahead and give my thoughts concerning each player's autocorrect.
Gaffney = gag
I'm sure more than a few girls have.
Snyder = anus
Even my phone knows.
Orakpo = oral
I'm going to ask my wife for some Orakpo tonight.
Spurrier = sour
His time in DC sure left a sour taste in my mouth.
Shuler = shit
Every time he dropped back to pass I said this word.
Grossman = Friday
The day of the week when I don't mind that he's the Redskins QB.
Beck = neck
The 'necked' bootleg is his best play.
Torain = toes
As far as I know his toes are the only thing he hasn't injured in his career.
Flacco = flaccid
The Ravens offense has been a little flaccid this year.
Cutler = curl
Curled up in his coat is where you could find him during last years NFC Championship game.
Vick = cock
My wife thinks he is one.
Austin = sista
Miles certainly banged the right Kardashian sista.
Cheers and Hail

"Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,"
King James Version (KJV)
65And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea. 66And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him. 67And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, 68Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, 69And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; 70As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;

Cecília Papi a reality-show star from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil recently tagged me in Facebook with an image of her tattoo, an illustration of a happy spaceman I did while ago. Never considered my art would make a good tattoo but now that I see it is actually not bad, really fun to see somebody wearing permanently your drawings :)
Since she is part of a TV reality-show I wonder if her tattoo process made it in to the show. (See bellow)
Thanks Cix!
...And YES! She sent me a video, this made it in the Show:

As you may or may not recall, a couple of years ago (October 2012 to be exact) we had this wild idea that we were going to buy a camper and turn it into a traveling photography studio and darkroom.
Well, it wasn't easy but with a LOT of help from my parents, a LOT of trial and error, and a LOT of crying (me : / ) this space...
and on the last Friday of June, one year ago, the Lamphouse Photo Co. made its first public appearance!
This Friday (tomorrow, June 27th), we'll be celebrating our first year with the "Lampy" camper and if you feel so inclined you can come see us at Reverie Coffee Roasters (2611 E. Douglas) from 6-9 PM.
I'll be in the darkroom but you can hang out with Conan and enjoy the AC for a minute. It's always fun when blog and business worlds collide so please bring your smiling faces down if you have time!

Hello! Diana here with a question for you: How many Thanksgiving cards do you send out? If not many, I challenge you to send out one to someone you are thankful for. I think snail mail is so special - especially in these days of email and social media. So here is one that I will be sending out.
I used Poppystamps Festive Turkey for my embellishment. I die-cut it out several times from orange, red, yellow, and brown card stock. The Art Institute glue was great for gluing that little red part of the turkey down. For my panel, I started with a stitched rectangle made with MFT Blueprint 13 and Impression Obsession Square Cutout Border. I then die-cut out of black card stock the letters I needed for "thankful" with Lawn Fawn Louie abc. The "for you" is a portion of Quietfire's Thanks cuddlers "for your support." I just inked the first portion and cut it out with the fish tail ribbon from MFT Blueprint 13.
Thank you for looking and hope you get some time to play around!
Challenges I am playing in:

I agree with the New Yorker when they say that 2012 was a year of more anticipation than payoff. There were lots of films to look forward to but few lived up to their hype.
There were nevertheless some excellent films released this year and these were the best of the ones I saw. I regret that I did not catch "Argo," "Looper" or "Silver Linings Playbook" so the list is open to amendments.
Best Films of the Year
10) Les Miserables – Raw, blustery and strangely powerful. Tom Hooper's decision to have the actors sing live was jarring, yet effective at conveying the characters' emotions. The picture loses steam about halfway through but gets a second wind with the arrival of the student revolution. My family saw it on Christmas, and my family had hardly a dry eye among us.
9) Moonrise Kingdom – Naive, awkward and idealistic – yes, we imagine this is what young love is like, and Wes Anderson makes it utterly charming. His story of lovestruck children who run away together has all the delights of his other pictures, with vivid colours that recall The Royal Tenenbaums. And there are few better uses of Benjamin Britten's music than you'll see here.
8) Rust and Bone – It was a glorious year for French cinema internationally, and Jacques Audiard's film is probably its grittest offering. The director of "Un Prophete" continues his study of people on the margins of French society when he focuses on a backyard MMA fighter (Matthias Schoenaerts) who forms a curious friendship with a whale trainer (Marion Cotillard) who suffers a traumatizing accident. The film opts for a string of encounters over a clear narrative and it draws unexpected chemistry out of its leads.
7) Holy Motors – I'm being a tad disingenuous with this pick. I didn't like Leos Carax's cinematic elegythe first time I saw it. But then I came to see it as a work that (subtly) expresses dejection with technological reproduction, and how it distances us from the Real. Denis Lavant deserves an Oscar nomination for his performance as M. Oscar, a performance artist acting out a series of characters for an unseen audience.
6) Zero Dark Thirty – It's hard to overlook Kathryn Bigelow's alleged collusion with the Central Intelligence Agency. But if you can, you'll find beneath it a gripping, doc-like thriller that plays like a breathless police procedural. Critics claim the film glorifies torture but I'm not so sure. I found the film more ambiguous in its depiction of torture and the practice's usefulness in tracking down Osama bin Laden. It's a patriotic film, just more subtly than most critics would like to admit.
5) Lincoln – How often can you be relieved that Liam Neeson turned you down? The Irish actor was Steven Spielberg's first choice to play America's 12th president, and when he backed out, Leonardo DiCaprio stepped in to get another, better Irish actor the part. The act was serendipitous, as Day-Lewis both anchors and drives this political drama about the fight to abolish slavery. Most stunning about the film is the dramatic ideological reversal between Democrats and Republicans. The 19th century Democrats depicted here would find themselves right at home among the Tea Party.
4) Django Unchained – While Lincoln depicted the lighter side of abolishing slavery, Quentin Tarantino's picture concerned itself with the more horrific impacts of the practice… and made it a rollicking, bloody good time. Tarantino here makes Jamie Foxx the hero of a modern spaghetti western, with Christoph Waltz turning babyface as a bounty hunter who helps him track down his enslaved wife.
3) The Master – Paul Thomas Anderson's films are connected by two themes: empty grandeur and a sense of belonging. They are fitting themes for a film that references Scientology. Joaquin Phoenix's performance in I'm Still Here was a mere audition for his performance as an aggressive, alcoholic, immature war veteran who falls in with a religious movement led by Philip Seymour Hoffman's faux-intellectual. It is simultaneously the year's most beautiful, and yet disturbing film.
2) Amour – We all feel for a sick relative, but we rarely see the toll it takes on a family day to day. Michael Haneke puts us up close and personal with an aging couple trying to cope with the debilitating effects of a stroke. Emmanuelle Riva delivers a heartbreaking performance as a woman waiting to die, while Jean-Louis Trintignant is simply devastating as her disillusioned husband. He can register a world of hurt in a single glance.
1) Beasts of the Southern Wild – Benh Zeitlin's drama is a strikingly original vision of people who live on the margins, and fight to keep it that way. His characters inhabit a backwater world beyond the New Orleans levee and must contend with forces bigger than themselves to keep it theirs. Quvenzhane Wallis delivers a revelatory performance as Hushpuppy, a spritely young girl who must contend with all manner of beast, both fact and fantastical.
Bravest Film
Cloud Atlas – Imagine the pitch meeting. The filmmakers walk into a room full of proucers and ask for $140 million to make a three-hour epic based on a high-concept novel that narrates a story across seven different planes. Thank goodness for the gutsy Germans who put up the money, because the result is a spectacular, though emotionally unengaging picture that could have fallen apart at so many turns. That it never falls into incoherence is a credit to Tom Tykwer and the Wachowskis' narrative skills.
Chronicle – Call this Teen Hulk, or Fly By Me. It's the story of three teens who develop sudden superpowers when they stumble on a glowing orb underground. At first it's cool, but then the social outcast among them thinks to use those powers to take revenge on all who've oppressed him. Max Landis' debut is a powerful, if predictable fantasy that gets right to the dark heart of power.
The Grey – Joe Carnahan's survival thriller sticks out in the mind because it came out at a time of year when films this good generally don't. Liam Neeson leads a group of oil workers turned prey when their plane crash lands in the wilderness, catching the attention of a pack of angry wolves. Pedestrian material is elevated by outstanding production values, including one of the more harrowing plane crashes ever put on screen. But what really sets it apart is its ending, which hints at more metaphysical powers imperilling the men.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey – So whose bright idea was it to stretch a 310-page book into three, three-hour epics? You could read the book in less time than it takes to see all three films. Every minute is stretched out to the thinness of a human hair, leaving you to jostle and turn in your seat in the thinner hope that it'll entertain you. Martin Freeman and Andy Serkis do their best with what they're given, but even they can't save the first part of what may be a failed trilogy.
The Life of Pi – There's a heart somewhere in this picture, I just couldn't find it. Ang Lee's adaptation of the Yann Martel novel is every bit as spectacular as its billing, with a whale that jumps out of phosphorescent waters and a living island where meerkats reign supreme. But nothing in the film could make me care about Pi, a young man set adrift on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger. Perhaps it was the film's visuals that made it difficult to swallow. For all their beauty, they imbue the picture with an artificial quality, or maybe it's the flat narrative arc of Pi retelling his story to an emerging author. Whatever it is, the whole picture just feels D.O.A.
Battleship – Some films you just know will suck right from the beginning. And so it goes with Peter Berg's adaptation of the popular board game. The acting is terrible, the dialogue laughable and the action scenes show us nothing we didn't already see in the Transformers movies. Taylor Kitsch had a terrible year with this and two other releases, and it leaves you to question whether he'll ever recover.
Savages – I thought I'd given up on Oliver Stone after W. and World Trade Centre. Yet I was still drawn to his latest picture, about a pair of dope-growers forced to do battle with a Mexican cartel. The trailers promise a supercharged, exploitative action flick, and it is, but it's also cliched and unpleasant, with a ditzy Blake Lively voiceover that does nothing to make it more bearable. Stone proves nothing except that Quentin Tarantino is the only one who can do exploitative violence correctly.

Oilers v. Blues - Mark 3:13-19
Quinn went up on a mountainside and called a closed-door meeting for his most important players. He appointed six - designating them as leaders - that they might be with him and that he might sometimes ask them to preach his message of commitment, heart and rolling lines, giving them authority over those demonic teams from other cities like the Blues, Wild and Canucks.

What Not to Buy this Summer – You might be familiar with surge pricing from services like Uber and Lyft. You know what I'm talking about; you pay more for services at particular times / days / locations than you would otherwise. The same holds true for other services. Disneyland is starting surge pricing as well. There are certain items which tend to cost more at different times of the year. This article discusses some fairly big ticket items that you might want to avoid purchasing during the summer months.
Hidden Costs of Home Ownership – I am a big believer in home ownership; if you can afford to buy a home, I strongly suggest that you do so. However, there are hidden costs associated with buying a home. There are the three obvious ones: mortgage, property taxes, and homeowners insurance, every knows about those three, but there are more. This article summarizes some of the hidden costs — including taxes and insurance — expenses which should not be ignored.
Walmart stops price matching – The other day we reported that Amazon stopped price matching on goods other than TVs, not Walmart is following suit. Well, sort of… Walmart Ending Price Matching Of Local Competitors' Ads At 500 Stores, however, it won't say which 500 stores.
Professional baseball team suing season 23-year season ticket holder – Dr. Axelband has been buying season tickets for the Miami (Florida) Marlins games for over 20 years. Now the team is suing Axelband. He's not alone, the Marlins have sued at least nine season ticket-holders and luxury suite owners since 2013.
Roth vs Traditional – Can't decide if you should invest your money into a Roth or a Traditional retirement plan? There are many calculators on the Internet to help you decide. This link takes you to one from Schwab. I am a bigger fan of the Roth than the Traditional. I expect to keep the money in my account growing for decades. I would rather pay the tax now on the smaller amount than have to pay taxes later in life on my gains. Others may disagree, and there are near-term advantages to the traditional option as well.

Work Week Fitness is dedicated to helping strong, independent women dominate their health and fitness so they can keep conquering for years to come. In our world, lady bosses sweat it out here so everything at work is "no sweat" to manage. Losing weight, conquering the kitchen, being a boss at the gym - however you want to blaze your trail, we'll help you turn your healthy lifestyle into a reflex that fuels your empire. Because in the fast lane, we conserve our energy to live like Queen Bey, spending our precious time and energy on family, friends, aspirations, travel and taking over the world.
My objective is easy. I'm here to help you establish healthy habits that actually stick. I want to help you bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. I'll do that by breaking things down into simple, clear steps that are easy to follow and lead to results. I'm here to give you tons of useful information (not just top 5 fluff) to help guide you through the process of incorporating variety, balance and real food into a motivating lifestyle that creates sustainable results.
I absolutely HATE seeing my friends and family try unsuccessful diets and exercise programs only to leave them more frustrated and discouraged. I'm so sick of the boring, bland, intense from the start programs that aren't sustainable and don't produce real results that stick. Most of us are average, busy people who just want to feel confident and be comfortable wearing shorts.
If you're ready to start making healthy lifestyle changes, make sure to get the free course.
Hi, I'm Amanda. Over the past 10+ years, I've been combining my experience, research and trial and error into a healthy, sustainable lifestyle I love. Now my goal is to help you learn how to establish sustainable eating and exercise habits on your own so you can stop spending money on diets, trainers and programs that don't work.
I work full-time, travel a ton, I'm half Samoan, in my early 30's, and always seem to be busy. I'm really just your average gal, trying to incorporate realistic healthy habits into her life. I played high school sports and intramurals in college (specifically flag football). I even coached high school and club volleyball for a few years. Once I went to college, I realized it wasn't so easy to stay fit without my team and coaches. The roller coaster began. I gained about 30 pounds and was honestly oblivious to it at first.
Once I decided I wanted to get back into shape, I was a lost. Without my team, the competition, the drive -- I didn't know where to start, let alone how to keep myself motivated once I did get started. How would I get from where I was to where I wanted to be? And where exactly did I want to end up anyway? All those diets and workout programs never seemed to work because the people who are on diets seemed to ALWAYS be on diets. Obviously there was a flaw (seriously, if diets worked, wouldn't you try it and be done?)
Over the past 10+ years, I've studied, done a lot of trial and error, and honestly felt a lot of frustration, I set out to learn. I read and watched everything I could, I talked to trainers, athletes, coaches, doctors, and anyone who had useful information. I researched lots of different exercises and continually experimented with different workouts and foods. I finally found my way to the gym after feeling lost without competitive sports, but I was bored. Nobody was there to tell me what to do. The gym was totally new to me.
BUT, I found a way to mix up my workouts and feel that adrenaline again. I try to get in the gym, hit it hard and get out. I've found a solution that works for me. Now I thrive off of working out and want to pass on everything I've learned. I've sustained good habits for over 5 years. I try to workout 4-5 times per week but often find myself in the gym 2-3 times per week. I eat dark chocolate EVERY SINGLE DAY. I think balance and real food are vital. I have a normal, busy life, I travel a lot for work, I'm not trying to post awkward, nearly naked pictures on social media. I really just want to look and feel good. I'm no professional, I'm not a trainer. I'm a former athlete and an average 30 year old woman who has found a realistic way to work health & fitness into a busy, every day schedule. The gym doesn't have to be your solution, but I am here to prove that you don't need formal training to be successful. And you don't have to hate the process. Healthy does not equal miserable. Don't believe the myths.
If you're ready to take matters into your own hands, sign up for my free course: Create a Healthy Lifestyle™. I'll teach you exactly what I've done over the past 10+ years to create a healthy lifestyle I love. Let's ditch the diets for good.
Q: Are you a trainer?
Q: Why not? Should I trust you?
I did consider getting certified, but I felt like it would be a lie. I lost 30 lbs on my own - no certification and I'm here to help you do the same. As of right now, if I got certified, it would just be for show. If I decide to teach group classes or something in the future that requires the certification, I would get it then. And yes, you should trust me because I'm living proof of everything I talk about, write about, etc. because I tried it first.

So today I hit 42. On some levels I feel the age (and a bit more) on others I feel a lot younger.
So did I have a big party, grab lots of presents, head for my nearest mid life crisis (hell I have one of those most weeks 🙂 ). Nope I had the best day I could think of given the last few weeks of business and chaos in my life and the planning for the next week of craziness running around Japan . A quiet day.
I had a sleep in which as any parent of two children under 3 would know is a priceless gift. Then spent the day with A. and the kids.
Sabrina and I made purred pears for her brother (Sabrina told me which pears where best) then a nice big batch of pumpkin soup for the family while I am away.
Sabrina is really getting into the cooking and crèche have told us that she cooks for her 'boyfriend' in the home corner but has a habit of putting the baby in the oven …
She spent all morning sitting there talking to me about things as I cook. I am hoping this will lead her to learn the value of cooking as it has taught her how much fun gardening is. At the end of the day I can only guide.
On the issue of present s I have avoided them for the last few years. Probably after having been traumatized when A. made me get in a 6 meter skip in to clear out space for when Sabrina was born. I think there is enough crap in the world and at the end of the day I have so many things, I just don't need anything and the best present is for me to have my family around me on day like this.
So we finished the day with a nice simple meal at a great family run Lebanese restaurant. Nothing fancy just good simple affordable food. And you know it is a family restaurant when your 3 year old has an accident on the seat at the table and the owners just go ' we all have kids' as they just smile and bring out the plastic covers.
I hope that you all had as good a day as me. Remember life is to be lived.

While reporting for Time magazine in Tehran, American journalist Azadeh Moaveni was plagued by a recurrent nightmare of fleeing through a doorway, where her hijab -- or head scarf -- catches on a doorknob and strangles her.
As the dream suggests, cultural pressures have ensnared her, first as an Iranian girl raised in America, and later as an American woman living in Tehran.
Moaveni's moving memoir, ''Lipstick Jihad," chronicles her upbringing as the child of two Iranian émigrés in San Jose, Calif.
Her extended family leaves Tehran several years before the fundamentalist uprising of 1979, but they continue to pine for their homeland. Their children are raised as Americans but are still forced to contend with the ugly anti-Iranian sentiments of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Moaveni studies politics at the University of California at Santa Cruz, and after graduation is driven to explore her heritage. She accepts a Fulbright fellowship to study Arabic in Egypt, and in 2000 moves to Tehran to report on the Middle East for Time magazine.
She wants to discover Iran's ''lost generation," young people her own age raised in the shadow of the Ayatollah's revolution. In some ways, she finds her sun-kissed California life not so different from the hedonistic lives of young Iranians.
It's not all stern, repressive mullahs -- Tehran's westernized young people drink, smoke, fool around, ski, wear Armani, do yoga, and get nose jobs. But the political atmosphere is growing ever more ominous in the months leading up to the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.
Moaveni must dodge dangerous political unrest and pressures from government ''minders," who shadow her, bug her telephones, and want to censor her reporting.
Even back home, she is never fully at home. During a reporting trip to the UN, she wears a Donna Karan pantsuit and a hijab to interview the visiting Iranian presidential delegation.
She hates the scarf, but her credibility as a journalist with the men in the delegation demands adherence to Islamic modesty rules. When an American reporter criticizes her for capitulating, Moaveni must defend her choices again. ''I live and work in Iran," she writes. ''My situation is different."
Moaveni manages to sidestep a common mistake of bicultural young memoirists. She does not overly romanticize her homeland, nor does she lash out too fiercely at the misunderstanding she encounters in her adopted world. She is clearheaded and forthright about both lands, warts and all.
There has been a glut of Iranian émigré women's memoirs in recent months, including Marjane Satrapi's ''Persepolis 2" graphic novel, Roya Hakakian's ''Journey From the Land of No," and Afschineh Latifi's ''Even After All This Time."
Azar Nafisi's2003 blockbuster, ''Reading Lolita in Tehran," has somewhat awoken public appetite for such books. But parts of it were ponderous and alienating.
Moaveni has avoided this with humor and a light touch. The book's irreverent title and snarky chapter headings such as ''I'm Too Sexy For My Veil" and ''Not Without My Mimosa" give it vitality and appeal. The book's clever cover photo -- of a head-scarved woman sporting designer sunglasses and a cellphone against the backdrop of an Arabic tile mosaic -- seals the deal.
Moaveni has closed the cultural gulf between young America and young Iran by building a bridge of her own and personally escorting readers across. It's an invitation readers should accept.

The Minnesota Democratic Party needs a candidate who can run in camouflage against the incumbent Republican congressman of Minnesota's Second District, our friend John Kline. Today's Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that the Minnesota Democratic Party is recruiting FBI agent Coleen Rowley to run against Kline: "DFL woos FBI's Rowley."
I called Rowley to ask her a question about 18 months ago, when Kline was working as the chief operating officer of Minnesota's conservative think tank, the Center of the American Experiment (of which Rocket Man and I are both board members). I can't remember how the subject came up, but Rowley mentioned that when she retired from the FBI she hoped she might be able to find a spot at the Center.

#ZolaCouple Tara & Gerald lived on the same block for just shy of a decade before actually meeting. Though they exchanged glances while Tara was out walking her dog or both were at the gym, it wasn't until Gerald mustered up the courage to talk to Tara that they finally connected. As Tara said, "it only took a decade." Better late than never! Get to know this NYC couple as they count down the week left to their wedding and see what they put on their awesome registry.
How did you get engaged? We got engaged in Bora Bora. On a misty day midway through the trip, Gerald surprised me with a proposal as I was overlooking Mount Pahia and Otemanu from their bungalow.
What was the first thing you did after you got engaged? We jumped off our dock and went for a swim in the lagoon.
Any tips for balancing wedding planning with your everyday busy life? Make a list with responsibilities and timelines early on after you get engaged. And then get going! It will inevitably be stressful so embrace it and remember why you are getting married. Marriage is a joyous occasion.
Tips on decorating when you have people over? We try to appeal to people's senses. Plush pillows and throws on couches. A scented candle burning or something delicious cooking. Reggae or jazz playing in the background. Soft lighting – never too bright or overbearing. And just generally, keeping everything pretty simple and seasonal.
Favorite thing to serve to guests when you host? Gerald's mom gave us a smoker as a housewarming present. Slow hot smoked salmon is probably the most frequent and popular dish that we have served guests. We marinate the salmon in maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic, parsley and salt and pepper. Then we smoke the salmon for 4 to 5 hours at a low heat with hickory wood chips.
Favorite meal to cook for two? Me: Italian wedding soup with Sauvignon Blanc. Gerald: Rib eye steak, potato and parsnip mash with Malbec. This also happens to be the only thing Gerald can cook.
How do you two relax together? Long walks. Either through the woods or on Flying Point Beach during the evenings or off season when it is empty. Our dog Brewster, a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, is a big fan as well.
What are you most excited for about newlywed life? Not planning for a destination wedding, enjoying some alone time together, and starting a family.
What are you most excited for on your registry? Generally anything related to cooking or hosting, as we adjust to life as homeowners. I'm most excited for the china. We chose this set because it will complement our home nicely: floral, stylish and formal but not stuffy. Gerald is most excited for the Vitamix blender, which will get plenty of use creating elaborate post-gym shakes.
Any last tips on registering? Don't worry about fulfilling some pre-conceived, cookie cutter checklist, but instead select items that you want and will actually use. The result will be a much more customized registry that represents your personality and interests. That's why we liked Zola. It offered a ton of flexibility, wide variety of products and unique registry ideas.
1. Menu Multi Carafe
2. Vitamix Professional Series 500 Blender
3. J.A. Henckels International Classic 2-Piece Carving Knife Set

Rhinoceros Farming in China
The main Chinese Rhinoceros Farm is 'The Sanya City Center for Artificial Propagation of the Rhinoceros' which is located in Hainan Province. Zoo News Digest had learned of a farm on an island off the coast of China in 2007. As Sanya is on an island this is likely to be the same collection. It is very close to Vietnam and on the same latitude as Vinh.
In November 2007 the very first 19 Rhinoceros (two animals over seven years old and seventeen under three years old) to arrive in Hainan were for the "Window of Africa" theme park. This is possibly an alternative name or a 'front' for the farm or they are two different places. There is always a problem with names and translation and it is quite reasonable to assume that "Window of Africa" and "Africa View" are one and the same. It is then somewhat disturbing that when a reporter visited in 2008 he found "No animals were in evidence, save 60 or so rhinos living in rows of concrete pens, which he photographed". 60? A considerable increase in just one year. As the first 19 animals had arrived the previous year and were nearly all young they could not have reproduced. "60 or so" is not an exact figure but suggests it was more than '50 or so' and less than '70 or so'. So '40 or so' new Rhinoceros had appeared on the farm in just one year. Just where had these animals come from?

Tasting, Climbing, and Footie
This past weekend Amy and I ventured forth to try out 3 new things.
The first was trying the offerings of the various restaurants in Manly at the Manly Food and Wine Festival. We ended up trying out some Thai food and a couple of glasses of wine before giving up on the lines. the food was good though and it was situated right on the beach which made it a great stroll. We sat on the seawall and watched surfers ride the waves and tourists roast in the sun.
Climbfit. We went with some friends, some of whom were veterans. Amy had never tried this before but took to it well once I tricked her into thinking that I wouldn't let her fall. Yeah, yeah, I'm watching. Just jump already.
Sunday's new venture was an Aussie Rules Football game. You may have seen this on Sunday afternoons in the NFL offseason on ESPN2 or some other random, space filling time. Taken at a glance the sport resembles a pack of large men chasing a greased football around a gigantic field, occasionally kicking it and frequently waylaying eachother with reckless abandon. Upon closer inspection.....it pretty much looks the same only even more awesome.

A Couple Of Errors
JamaicanMoose posted a topic in SupportHey guys, I'm having a couple of errors that I would like some help with. 1) Before adjusting my code on your campaign editor page, I adjust it in Wordpress first and preview it to make sure it'll look exactly like I want it to. I then adjust the code in your campaign editor accordingly. However, when I hit the preview button, the webpage hasn't changed at all. 2) In the same instance, when I click to save the campaign, I am getting "server error. please contact support". As I am testing an affiliate site, I'd prefer not to attach any files. Please reach out to me via email and I will gladly share what I've been doing. I also reached out to Healzor on BHW. Thank you.

Early Hedley Townsite and Stamp Mill
By Art Martens
Hedley in the early gold mining days. The large structure just up from the base of the mountain is the Stamp Mill. A nice view of the Similkameen valley. (photo courtesy of the Hedley Heritage Museum ).
"The slamming of metal on metal created a din that made the roar of Niagara sound faint as a murmur." (a mine engineer).
The following is taken from "The Mining and Engineering Record April, 1913″ which describes a portion of a complex system.
The mine is at an elevation 6,000 feet above sea level, and the mill is at an elevation of 2,000 feet above sea level.
Ore is delivered from mine to mill by an electric tramway over a mile in length and a gravity tramway about 10,000 feet long in 3 sections, and with a vertical drop of 3,600 feet between the upper and lower terminals.
The gravity tram is built on the ground, follows the slope of the hill, and has 3 rails, except at the central passing station. Its grade varies from 10 percent to 66.8 percent. The cars are 5 ton skips attached to a 43 strand wire cable, the loaded car pulling the empty one back. The tramway handles 150 tons a day.
The mill is constructed to allow the ore to travel through the plant by gravity. Power is brought from 20 Mile Creek by a flume 4 ft. by 5 ft. and 3 miles long. The plant at the mill includes 2 Farrell jaw crushers, from which a belt conveys the ore the full length of an ore bin of 1,000 tons capacity from which the stamps are fed by automatic feeders.
The mill is 40 stamps. The stamps are 1,050 lbs. each, dropping 100 times a minute into Homestake mortars weighing 8,000 lbs. each.
The first stamps were dropped on May 4, 1904, and the Stamp Mill ceased operation in 1955. By mid-1960's the abandoned Stamp Mill building was becoming an insurance liability. Partial demolition occurred in the late 1960's, and in 1972 the remainder of the building was deliberately burned. The trestle and tipple were spared.
Although only a portion of the foundations remain, the Stamp Mill is viewed locally as an important aspect of Hedley history and is celebrated each May on "Stamp Mill Day".

Blog Genealogy in Finland contained one set of instructions, this is my version:
In Hiski searches it is usually helpful to
1) Check what is the time period of the data available.
2) Fill in as little as possible and add if there are too many results
Starting from http://hiski.genealogia.fi/historia/indexe.htm click Search program for history books.
Then scroll down in the alphabetical list to the relevant parish, click the name and then the "Selected" button below.
Next page shows the dates. As per (1) above, look at them before doing anything else. Once you have the impression that you can find something useful, click the document type Christened / Married / Buried
Let's say Christened, to search for birth record. As per (2) you can start with limiting the years to a sensible window. Either one year or a couple if you are less certain. And then put the first name to the Child/first name field. Click submit and review results. If the list is really too long to go through, click "to the search form" and try to come up with additional search criteria that is not too strict.
But commonly you are able to find the right row either by matching the date you have and/or finding the surname used in USA as either father's name or farm name.
The result page is showing all the information that has been included to the Hiski index of history books. Which is not the full extent of Finnish church records.

Okay, I am so slow on this one it is not funny.
Many of us grew to love "Remote Desktop Connections" (note the "s" at the end – it is what made it special. It allowed us to run one RDP application and have multiple RDP sessions to multiple servers defined and within very easy reach.
I don't know about you but I have RDP windows open all the time, and I frequently waste time sorting through the list that hangs out in my task bar.
Well, the answer has finally come. Remote Desktop Connection Manager is for the Windows 2008 family and higher of operating systems. That is Vista and above.
You can find it here:
Now, the web site is a bit confusing as it also mentions Server 2003 and Windows XP (but in a vague sort of way – it is unclear in the phrasing what is meant).
It also installs and runs on Windows XP and Server 2003 if you first apply the RDP/RDS update. (I tested that).

The Princeton Review's 2018 "College Hopes & Worries Survey" Reports on 10,500+ Students' & Parents' College Application Perspectives and "Dream Colleges
- #1 "Dream" College: Stanford, #2: Harvard
- 42% Say Likely to Choose the College "Best for Career Interests"
- 73% Report High Stress Levels About Applications
- 98% Say Financial Aid Will Be Necessary To Pay for College
- 99% View College as "Worth It"
NEW YORK, March 27, 2018, 9 AM EDT — 'Tis the season for more than three million college applicants and their parents to stress as college admission and financial award offers begin landing.
According to The Princeton Review's 2018 College Hopes & Worries Survey , the company's 16 th annual survey of college applicants and their parents, anxiety levels about the admission process are consistently high this year. 73% of the over 10,500 respondents reported high levels of stress— 17% more than in the survey's initial year, 2003. For this year, more students (74%) than parents (69%) reported high stress levels.
The rising cost of college may well have contributed to parents' and students' college application stress: 99% of the respondents this year said financial aid would be necessary to pay for college. 65% deemed it "Extremely Necessary."
For the sixth consecutive year, Stanford was the college that both applicants and parents most named as their "Dream" college. Among students, Harvard was the second most named and MIT was second most named among parents. (Lists of students' and parents' top 10 dream colleges follow.)
The Princeton Review one of the nation's best-known education services companies, has conducted this survey annually since 2003. Findings for the 2018 survey are based on responses from 10,958 people: 85% were college applicants, 15% were parents of applicants. Respondents hailed from all 50 states and Washington D.C., as well as more than 80 countries abroad. The 16-question survey ran in The Princeton Review book, The Best 382 Colleges: 2018 Edition (Penguin Random House, August 2017), and on PrincetonReview.com from August 2017 through early March 2018.
A complete survey report is at College Hopes & Worries.
Top 10 "Dream Colleges"
Answering the survey's only fill-in-the-blank question, "What 'dream college' do you wish you or your child could attend if acceptance or cost weren't issues?", respondents wrote in names of more than 800 institutions.
The colleges students most named as their "dream college" were:
- Stanford University
- Harvard College
- New York University
- Princeton University
- University of California—Los Angeles
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology
- Columbia University
- Yale University
- University of California—Berkeley
- University of Southern California
The colleges parents most named as their "dream college" for their children were:
- Stanford University
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology
- Princeton University
- Harvard College
- Yale University
- Brown University
- University of Michigan—Ann Arbor
- University of Pennsylvania
- Columbia University
- Cornell University
For survey questions with multiple answer choices, findings among respondents overall (students and parents) indicate:
Priorities shifting: focus is on finding the best program for a student's career interests
In 2005, over half the students and parents focused on the best overall college fit when choosing a college and less than 25% emphasized career, while in 2018 career interests were a much higher priority (42% of students and 41% of parents).
Toughest factor? All the applications
Asked which part of the application process was the toughest, 35% (the plurality) chose the answer, "Completing applications for admission and financial aid," while 32% of respondents chose the answer, "Taking the SAT®, ACT® or AP® exams," as the toughest part of the process for them. A majority (69%) of respondents said it is "Somewhat," "Very," or "Extremely likely" that they would take (or have their child take) both the ACT and the SAT
Main benefit of college? Jobs & Earnings
41% said the biggest benefit of a degree was a "Potentially better job and income" while 34% said "Exposure to new ideas" and 25% said the "Education."
College cost estimate? $50,000+
85% estimated their degree to cost "More than $50,000." 41% said "More than $100,000." Parents' estimates were higher than students'.
Biggest worry? Debt
42% (the plurality) said their main concern was "Level of debt I/my child will take on to pay for the degree." In 2006, the answer most chosen by the plurality (34%) was "Won't get in to first-choice college."
Issue of most disagreement between students and parents? Location, Location, Location
50% of parents would like their child to attend a college less than 250 miles from home while 67% of students said they would like to attend a college more than 250 miles from home.
Overall Opinion? College is worth it.
On the positive side, students and parents feel great about the value of a college education: 99% say that college will be worth the investment for them/their child.
Other report findings: how many colleges respondents were applying to and what factors will influence their college choice when decisions are due May 1.

TAIPEI Taiwan looks set on Saturday to elect an independence-leaning opposition leader as its first woman president who could usher in a new round of uncertainty with China, the massive neighbour that claims the self-ruled island as its sacred territory.
Tsai Ing-wen, leader of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), is expected to be thrust into one of Asia's toughest and most dangerous jobs, with China pointing hundreds of missiles at the island, decades after losing Nationalists fled from Mao Zedong's Communists to Taiwan in the Chinese civil war.
She will have to balance the superpower interests of China, also Taiwan's largest trading partner, and the United States with those of her freewheeling, democratic home.
Tsai risks antagonising China if she attempts to forcefully assert Taiwan's sovereignty and reverses eight years of warming China ties under incumbent China-friendly President Ma Ying-jeou of the Nationalists, who ruled all of China until the retreat to Taiwan in 1949.
"Democracy is not just an election," Tsai said at her last campaign rally on Friday in drizzling rain. "Democracy is our way of life."
The election comes at a tricky time for Taiwan's export-dependent economy, which entered recession in the third quarter last year. China is also Taiwan's top trading partner and Taiwan's favourite investment destination.
Support for the DPP has swelled since 2014, when hundreds of students occupied Taiwan's parliament for weeks in protests against trade pacts negotiated with China in the largest display of anti-China sentiment the island had seen in years.
Tsai has the tide of history against her. Ma and predecessors, including firebrand Lee Teng-hui and convicted opposition DPP president Chen Shui-bian, all failed to bring about a lasting reconciliation with China, which considers Taiwan a rogue province to be taken by force if necessary.
Shots were traded between the two sides as recently as the mid-1970s.
At stake are relations with an ascendant and increasingly assertive China under President Xi Jinping.
Tsai, a trained lawyer, would be one of the most prominent female leaders of the Chinese-speaking world since the Qing dynasty Empress Dowager Cixi. Parliamentary polls are also being held and if the DPP wins those too, Tsai will get an even stronger mandate.
She has been ambiguous on her China policy, merely pledging, in public anyway, to maintain the status quo.
Beijing has warned repeatedly in the run-up to the elections that hard-earned peace across the Taiwan Strait could be affected by a Tsai win.
The United States has expressed concerns about the danger of worsening China-Taiwan ties, at a time when China's navy is increasingly flexing its muscles in the South China and East China Seas and expanding territorial claims.
China has held out the "one country, two systems" formula, under which the British colony of Hong Kong returned to China in 1997, as a solution for Taiwan. But both the Nationalists and DPP have rejected the idea.

P.S. – So several hours after I made this post, I discovered that the news and tourdates pages were MIA. And when I attempted to upload them again, discovered that HBAT's web-hosting firm (Icom.com, a division of Interland. If you ever sign up with this outfit, it proves you're nothing but a trouble-grubbing masochist.) mistakenly believed that the site had suddenly exceeded its "disk quota," or size limit. Until this problem is fixed, any page I attempt to upload here will fail. Sorry about that kids. Just take it from me, avoid Icom.com and Interland Web Hosting like a crazed, falafel-mongering shoe-bomber runs from a degreed woman. In a halter top.

Have you ever wanted to own something that looks like it runs on whisky and tattoo ink? Well here's your chance. This one of a kind custom 1932 Hi-Boy Roadster is the real deal and packs some very unique characteristics inside, outside, and under the hood!
When looking at these historic roadsters, simplicity seems to jump out right away, but with a closer look you can see all the details that make these cars one of a kind. If you couldn't tell by the insignia on the grille, this is in fact a Hotrod. You see that starting with the custom black matte paint that really helps all the red pinstriping stand out as well as the frame that has been painted a glossy red. Adding in some much needed detail is the custom pinstriping artwork featured on the trunk. It's got that awesome minimalist look that strips the '32 down to the barest of minimums, with a pair of headlights perched on the frame, but precious little else to slow it down. Even the door handles were shaved to create a smooth simple body. A stainless grille insert and chrome spreader bar up front give some contrast, while out back there is a color-matched gas tank to make it look authentic.
To match the painted frame, a red custom interior was installed. Pleated vinyl seats, matching door panels, and a cool colored dash all give it a polished look that's as sophisticated as the exterior. This roadster even has seat-belts. The custom painted dash houses Dolphin gauges and little else as a simplistic approach was the best. The three spoke red steering wheel keeps with the simple theme and feels right at home. It's fully carpeted, something that few roadsters enjoyed back in the day, with plush black carpet and the custom high rise shifter comes through the floor ready for the driver to take this car for a spin. And with this roadster, you also get a nicely finished trunk with a trick battery box and plenty of room for gear.
A roadster wouldn't be complete without a V8 engine. This little beauty has a 305 V8 nestled in the engine compartment. The engine has been painted red to match the rest of the car and has been dressed up with a chrome alternator and polished valve covers. Bolted to the small block is a TH350 automatic transmission. The front and rear suspensions are the traditional dropped axle on a transverse leaf spring. Power steering has been added for convenience, and it does have power front disc brakes for impressive stopping power. Red wheels, on which the hub-caps are indeed skulls, carry 195/75/14 front and 235/75/15 rear wide whitewall Coker radials for an old-school look with modern tire technology .
A neat little roadster that will definitely stand out at shows simply because it dares to be just a little different. With all the custom details, this one is sure to be a conversation starter. Call today!

Archive for May 2010
The next few posts will have a bit of a theme to them and is partly based on some content from my sales / marketing workshops. The theme is "Make it easy for people…" This blog is inspired by an email that arrived this morning. It's a follow up email to a trade show I attended a couple of weeks ago. I don't recall speaking to the company in question, so chances are this is a broadcast email to a portion of the delegate list. I've removed the company name, but otherwise this is verbatim:
"We provide powerful semantic content analytics solutions for web properties and unstructured stores of content. Organisations are using our technology to deliver faceted search and discovery based on entities, concepts and associated sentiments; driving monetization of their content, boosting audience engagement and allowing information to be repurposed.
To find out more about XXX, click here"
Now I think this is something to do with the web and finding information. But other than that it's pretty much all gibberish. How easy does their email read? How easy is it to work out what they do? Or the value of what this organisation does related to my business? (They are even making up words like "repurposed" – what does that mean? Could be a whole separate blog of its own)
I don't think I could have made up anything better than this to illustrate my point. I'm sure you would agree, this organisation is making it hard – right from the beginning – for me to understand and engage with them.
So, I wont. I don't have time. They are making it way too hard for me. I want compaines to offer me solutions, not additional problems. If it wasn't for the fact that I could use this email to illustrate my blog, it would have been deleted in under 2 seconds.
So, first rule of sales / marketing: Make it easy for people to understand what you do.
Sounds obvious doesn't it? When communicating with potential customers, avoid jargon, abbreviations, sounding clever, long winded sentances etc. Keep it simple. Keep it short. If you can't do this, get a copy writer who can.
I don't really care how you do it, just do it. Make it easy for me…

Polar Bear Habitat in Alaska Protected
May Limit Oil and Gas Drilling
- Date: December 02, 2010
A large segment of Alaska's sea ice, islands, and coastline that is considered important to polar bears is now designated as critical habitat. As a result of the designation, federally regulated activities – such as oil and gas drilling – that may have an adverse affect on polar bears and others species will get an extra level of review by the government.
The designation of 484,000 square kilometers of land comes at a time when Shell has been lobbying the Obama administration to approve its plans to drill in Alaska's Chukchi Sea – a region that is home to one of the nation's largest polar bear populations.
"This will not do all that is necessary to protect the bears, but it is part of the solution," said WWF polar bear specialist Geoff York. "It would be good to see other polar bear range states take similar action."
The Designation
The November 24, 2010 decision by the U.S. Interior Department stipulates that, if a federal action may affect the polar bear or its critical habitat, the permitting or action agency must enter into consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Consultation is a process through which federal agencies and the service jointly work to identify potential impacts on listed species and their habitats, and identify ways to implement these actions consistent with species conservation.
This is in line with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, which requires federal agencies to ensure that the activities they authorize, fund or carry out are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the species or to destroy or adversely modify its critical habitat.
"As some of the habitat now designated is in areas of interest to oil and gas companies, it will be interesting to see how well this consultation process works," York said. "We know that a chance of a blowout will always exist, and we know that current management processes, technology, and response capacity fall short of being able to effectively contain a spill in Arctic waters."
More to be Done
The designation of the habitat does not address the largest threat to the species: climate change.
"We urge the U.S. and all polar bear range states to incorporate climate change scenarios into their long term planning," York said. "The Arctic is changing fast and we need to look ahead and make sure polar bears and other sea ice dependent species have a place of refuge as the sea ice, their most important habitat, melts away."

"Christian leadership is more a function of who you are in Christ rather than what you do for Christ."
– President Mark Zarling, Martin Luther College
This comment that I heard during the opening session of the Christian Leadership Experience that I attended last week really resonated with me. Leadership isn't just what you do. It starts with who you are. And based on what the Apostle Paul says in Colossians 1:24-2:5 I'm confident that he'd agree. That's the section we'll be studying together as we continue our Profile series based on the book of Colossians this Sunday.
So join me as we explore what it means (and how wonderful it is!) to be secure in who you are in Christ. And then we'll talk about how being secure in Christ leads to having energy to serve in Christ's church.
Christian Leadership Conference – It was good to be together with over 500 fellow brothers and sisters in Christ down in Arizona for a couple days last week. Sarah and I attended numerous workshops pertaining to ministry and leadership. Especially we also attended all the tracks sponsored by the Builders For Christ who will be on site all summer here in Franklin from Memorial Day to Labor Day helping as volunteers to build our ministry center. We also had a little time to get out and enjoy some time together walking and talking. Lori Stankiewicz from our church also got to attend with us. Check out her story in the back of this Sunday's worship folder for a recap of her conference experiences.
Builders For Christ Presentation – This Sunday we'll have a shortened service to allow for a presentation by Matt Burow of Catalyst Construction and Mark Pamperin of the Builders For Christ. They will be talking about opportunities for all of you to help out with time and talents in the building of our church. We are very excited to have recently received approval from the City of Franklin for the Builders For Christ to come this summer and stay on site.
Special Singing Guests – This Sunday we'll also warmly welcome the 2nd and 4th grade families from St Jacobi Lutheran School in Greenfield as the 2nd the 4th graders will be singing a song for us. Principal Brian Mensching will be attending as well and setting up an informational table about St Jacobi School in the lobby. St Jacobi is our Christian education partner that provides opportunities for 3K-8th graders.
An Evening at Gus' – I'm looking forward to seeing the 50 of you who registered to attend tonight at Gus' to get an update on our design plans. Doors open at 6 for tacos and enchiladas. I'll introduce our architects at 6:30 as well as our task forces and then you'll have plenty of time to ask questions and talk.
Small Groups — Have Fun – Make Friends – Grow Your Faith. Our winter session of groups is starting soon here in January. For more information click on this link.
Bible 101 —Bible 101 is the starting point in our church for anyone who would like to learn more about God, anyone who wants to see for themselves what the Bible says, or anyone who would like to receive the sacrament of holy communion in our fellowship. It's also a great refresher for anyone who'd like to review the Bible's basic teachings. Contact me for more info on how to get connected in a group starting soon!
Last Sunday's sermon can be found here on our website. Also remember that all our sermon resources are archived on our sermon page.
Sharing Christ's Victory,
Pastor Ben

The supplier should be present during the evaluation to explain different equipment options and answer questions about pricing, payment options, delivery, repairs, and other services. Please note that The Rehabilitation Institute does not sell or provide any equipment.
If you believe that you or someone you know may benefit from this clinic, call 770-848-6160. Appointments are available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm.
