The forecasts were on the button as cranking 3' lines graced the Surf Ranch Pro presented by Hurley for four straight days, with Carissa Moore and Gabriel Medina taking wins, rewrites Spike.
In another bizarre coincidence unheard on the tour is that each elite surfer in Stop 8 on the WSL Championship Tour managed to catch the exact same number of lefts and rights.
But that was on purpose and part of the wave pool format, which has been very hard to understand, but I think I finally have got it. In the men's event at the Surf Ranch Pro presented by Hurley, the 36 surfers were divided into two groups of 18, with each group only surfing on one of two qualifying days - Thursday or Friday. The women were divided into two groups of nine.
The score of your best left and right would qualify you for the final (eight top qualifiers in the men, four for the women), with all 36 men and 18 women getting a third run on Saturday for a last chance to improve on either, or both, your scores.
The inaugural wave pool event presided over a tightening of the title race. Three-time WSL Champion Moore got her first victory this season and her first since the Roxy Pro France last year, scooping 10,000 points and moving one place to 4th on the Jeep Leaderboard with two events to go. Stephanie Gilmore crept further ahead of Lakey Peterson on the leaderboard after finishing above her at Lemoore in second place.
Medina takes home his second CT win of 2018, earning back-to-back wins after Tahiti. The 2014 WSL Champion narrowed the gap between him and Jeep Rankings Leader Filipe Toledo (BRA) with his 11th career CT win.
For the two South Africans, it was an interesting weekend. Mikey February had trouble with consistency after the stellar video dropped on Facebook indicating some insane surfing in the leadup to the event. He finished joint 25th. Jordy Smith's massive alley oop on a righthander (see video) was impressive, and his 7.60 for the right (his first run) and 7.46 for the left (his third run) showed a nice balance, but it was not enough to make the final eight. He finished joint ninth.
However, fractions in the score were the difference. Jordy's final qualifying score was 15.03 as opposed to Kolohe Andino on the same score but whose top wave (7.70) was a fraction more than Jordy's (7.60). Next up was Yago Dora on 15.07. The last two guys to make the final eight were Sebastian Zietz on 15.50 and Miguel Papo on 15.56.
Although Moore was out of the women's title race, "My biggest goal is just to finish the year off strong and re-qualify. I just want to have a strong performance and gain some confidence hopefully for next year."
The Hawaiian dominated the Final Day from the start and posted two excellent scores on her first run to claim first place. Moore went on to improve her total with an incredible second run where she earned two excellent scores and a 17.80 total (out of a possible 20). It was Moore's decimating forehand that proved to be the dominant factor for the win.
Medina is now back in the race and a couple more wins with three remaining events on the tour could seal the 2018 title for him. "Filipe (Toledo) is so dangerous, he's probably the best at the Surf Ranch, so it's special to win. There are no words. I am so happy right now. I surfed the way I wanted to. It's totally different from surfing in the ocean, but I'll take it! It's the most high-performance wave I think we've ever surfed and it's good to feel we are on level ground with the other guys."
Medina's win today looked to be in jeopardy after an uncharacteristic fall on his opening left, but he was quick to bounce back and posted an excellent 8.73 on the right run. Medina then took advantage of a makeup left granted to competitors due to problems with wave quality and smashed a near-perfect 9.13 after an insane air.
Six-time WSL Champion Stephanie Gilmore (AUS) could not quite put her dream run together on Finals Day, but still finished in second place. The Australian's brilliant performance on her last run earned her an 8.87 (right) that moved her up to second place over World Title contender Lakey Peterson (USA) and 16-year-old rookie Caroline Marks (USA), who both failed to improve their scorelines. Gilmore will retain the yellow Jeep Leader Jersey and has increased her lead over Peterson heading into the Roxy Pro France.
The current World No. 1 showcased his incredible aerial antics once more, landing three airs on the wave that earned him an all but perfect 9.80Toledo continues to be one of Surf Ranch's most dynamic performers and one of the sport's greatest showman. The current World No. 1 showcased his incredible aerial antics once more, landing three airs on the wave that earned him an all but perfect 9.80 (out of a possible 10). Now, the Brasilian heads into a crucial European leg with Medina only 3,100 points behind him.
"I feel great. I made a few mistakes throughout the whole event and I could have done better on the left and be in first right now," Toledo said. "But, I'm really happy to be a part of it. This is a new era of surfing and I have to thank all the fans for coming out here. It's always scary to compete against these guys. They're in the Top 5 for a reason, but I'm just trying to concentrate on myself and do my job and make sure I stay really far away from them."
The men and women's Word Title races heated up in Lemoore this weekend. Toledo's impressive lead has been cut in half by Medina's impeccable performance, while Gilmore managed to grow the deficit between her and Peterson.
"I'm stoked to get the opportunity and I sort of felt like I did enough, but I can only control what I can control," Peterson said. "I'm looking forward to France, but just disappointed I didn't get the score in the end. I want to grow from it, get better, and learn from it and make myself a better surfer."
The "train machine" down the middle at Lemoore leaves the station roughly every four minutes, with each surfer riding a left and crossing over to get a right. Each two-wave run takes eight minutes.
The first left runs at 9am on Day 1 (Thursday). Hiroto Ohhara (JPN) - a wild card - paddles for it and rides it and gets a score of 4.5. Now for the right. He crosses to the other side and gets a 5.5. He has now surfed the first of two qualifying runs allotted to him on Day 1.
Next up is Kelly Slater, who catches his first left at 9.08am. He gets a mundane 4.6. He crosses over and rides the right for a 6.5. At 9.16am, eight minutes later, the next surfer, Miguel Pupo (BRA), hooks his left for a score of 5.1. Now he crosses and rides the right, for a score of 6.2.
By the time each of the three surfers have done their two runs on Day 1 or 2, the next time they will surf will be on Day 3, the Saturday, for a last chance to better their two best scores.After Ohhara, Slater and Pupo have completed their first run, they surf in a duplicate format for their second run. Once Pupo is down with his second wave, Ohhara catches a left at 9.24am. He scores 1.9 for the left and 6 for the right. His previous score still stands for the left, but he has improved on his score for the right. Kelly surfs at 9.32am. He improves on his 4.6 on the left with a 6.1 and then smashes an 8.5. These are his two best scores so far. At 9.40am, it's Pupo's turn.
By the time Pupo is done, its 9.48am and the next batch of three guys Wiggolly Dantas (BRA), Joan Duru (FRA) and Keanu Asing (HAW) are up. By the time each of these groups of three surfers have done their two runs on Day 1 or 2, the next time they will surf will be on Day 3, the Saturday, for a last chance to better their two best scores. This time they will just do one run, ie, one left and one right.
As it turns out, for example, Kelly's two runs were on Thursday. He didn't surf on Friday. The two best waves from the four he rode in Run 1 and Run 2 was a 6.5 (left) and an 8.5 (right). On Saturday, he gets a 7.27 for his left in Run 3, an improvement on the 6.5, but doesn't better the 8.50. He qualifies for the last eight with these two highest scoring waves: 7.27 + 8.50 for a combined total of 15.77.
For the final, the runs started from scratch, with three runs per finalist run at staggered intervals throughout the day yesterday. Got it? Good.

Most mornings, I hightail myself out of bed around 6:45 am and head straight to the beach to get a glimpse of dawn breaking. It's never a bad decision and I feel the ocean's energy on these mornings helping me to energize, start fresh, and provide creative fuel for anything that might come my way during the day.
This is me this morning at my favorite local beach spot, just a few blocks from my house. I basically almost ran out the door to catch the sunrise on time, no makeup, no time for doing my hair!
Each morning I find interesting things at the beach. Today was super low tide (love these days!) and TONS of shells! (I love the donut-looking beach stone towards the bottom)
Here's my favorite one from today, a piece of turquoise seaglass. It's not very often I find these but when I do it's like I found gold! hehehe....they are just THAT pretty especially laying in the sand sparkling with water.
What do you do in the mornings for inspiration? I'd love to hear!

It's been a minute
Tracy Bromwich
The Story
It's fitting that the title of the most recent post was Sea Change and dated Jan 20, 2018. There have been some changes around here! Most notably, a couple weeks after that post I accepted a full-time position with the Planning Department of a neighboring city. Needless to say, this has had an impact on my weaving schedule!
Nevertheless, things advance. My loom has proven a patient ally as I navigate the limits of my time, energy and attention. It's a struggle most readers of this blog would be familiar with - the need to meet your commitments, shower your family with love, and find moments that are purely your own. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the years I was able to direct all my energy toward my family and in cultivating the passion I have for fiber, weaving and textile design. I am also thankful for the ambitious warp I had wound onto the loom and for the effort I put into coming into compliance with ASTM standards prior to making this change. What I had originally planned as one double-width project has become two coordinated warps in which is stored hours of joyful weaving and hopefully - for someone - wearing!
Progress is slow but, as with parenting, the little daily motions do add up.
The wefts
There are three pieces available as wraps from this warp. Two are woven with a gorgeous rose yarn that I dyed in lightly variegated shades of blues and soft turquoise. It has a soft glow and a pleasing thickness in hand.
The silk sea cell weft is a bit more playful, with tones of purples, blues and turquoise. It adds a satisfyingly rippled effect to the finish cloth.
The remainder of the warp was woven in an 8/2 Egyptian cotton weft. It will become some promised throw blankets for my kids and maybe some pillows.
The wraps
There are three wraps available from the warp:
Rose weft 3.3 meters $412.50
Rose weft 5.2 meters $650
Silk sea cell weft 5.1 meters $637.50
The weft fiber is 60% cotton/40% linen.
If you're interested in one, feel free to get in touch. I do plan to make the listings live at some point this weekend. But there's no need to wait on me if you're eager! I've been out of the loop for such a period that I'm not sure what the level of interest will be. If there is a lot of interest, I will do a drawing to be fair!
Here's a peek at what's in store on the upper beam. The next chapter of this color story is a transition into a range of kelp-like dark greens. Here's hoping we see the end to this come to life before the year is up!

Chef Curry: Red Thai Edition
Hi Ya'll! If you don't understand the Chef Curry joke... we can't be friends. Just kidding, but it is basketball season and I thought what a perfect time to make something fire (Curry) in honor of the warriors opening day the other night. Get it.. Curry.. Curry is a basketball player and Curry is food. Okay, I suck at jokes. But you get the point.
Anyways, I have been trying to experiment more with ethnic foods and broaden my taste bud horizons (yes that is a real thing.. kinda). TJ's, Trader Joe's, has a bangin' curry sauce that is whole 30 approved, vegan, healthy, and god sent basically. It is called Red Thai, and I seriously would recommend having this on hand at any moment of the day. I also picked up sriracha tofu from TJ's that is ALSO to die for. TJ's coming in clutch like always.
I sometimes just throw things in a pan with olive oil, season it, and hope things taste okay. So that is what I did this time. I literally just threw a cluster of various frozen and fresh veggies, some tofu, and curry sauce and hoped it tasted decent. It tasted decent. It actually tasted fantastic, not to toot my own horn.
- 1/2 package of sriracha tofu
- 1/4 cup frozen peas from TJ's
- 1/8 cup frozen corn from TJ's
- 1 zucchini cut up
- 4 asparagus spears, chopped
- 1 cup quinoa
- 1 tbs red pepper flakes
- 1 tbs salt
- 1 tbs pepper
- 1 tbs garlic powder
- 1/8 cup Red Thai Curry from TJ's
Literally... oil your pan, throw everything on there, and hope for the best. Just kidding, about 10 minutes, add curry then presto!
I hope everyone enjoys this flavor! Until next time,

Oh Yum: Energy Balls (Great Gift for You and Your Vegan Friends)
Quite possibly the easiest thing on the planet to make, energy balls require little more than some simple ingredients and your hands (if you have a food processor all the better!). No cooking or baking required! These little round wonders look a little like truffles, but unlike candy, they're made specifically to help fill you up with whole grains, nuts, and seeds. There are hundreds upon hundreds of recipes out there, but basically the key is balancing your wet ingredients with your dry to come up with something that will hold together much like a cookie dough.
Pick a combination of your favorite dry ingredients, and mix with some favorite wet ingredients till you get a pliable dough. Roll into a ball, coat with cocoa powder, pulverized freeze-dried fruit, or seeds for a fun topping, or leave them plain and simple. Pop them in the fridge to cool and harden and then store in a baggy or glass container with a lid.
You can grab one whenever the afternoon slump hits or you feel peckish instead of going for the candy, chips, or other guilty pleasures. Moderation is always key, these balls are made up with nutrient dense ingredients. Just because the ingredients are wholesome doesn't mean we get to eat the entire batch in one sitting. ;)
These will keep the freezer for months, or the fridge for a few weeks. Easy to make and convenient too, these babies can be a real life saver.
Pick Your Dry Ingredients
You can use one, or many from each group to create the flavor and ingredient combination you prefer. Add in spices like cinnamon, cloves, etc. to create apple pie/holiday-themed flavors (replace whole grains with flours if you don't have a food processor):
Rolled oats (gluten-free)
Chia seeds
Flax seeds
Flax meal
Ground nuts
Ground seeds
Coconut flakes
Cocoa powder
Pulverized freeze-dried fruit
Protein powder
Pick Your Wet/Sticky Ingredients:
Nut butter
Seed butter
Agave nectar
Coconut nectar
Maple syrup
Medjool dates (you'll need a food processor to combine)
Dried fruit (you'll need a food processor to combine)
Pick Your Coating (optional):
Pulverized freeze-dried fruit
Cocoa powder
Coconut flakes
Ground nuts
Ground seeds
Combine your ingredients by hand, or use a food processor and process until the ingredients are well-mixed and they form a sticky dough. If your mix is too dry, add more a little at a time from your wet ingredients. Too wet? Add more dry ingredients. It's as simple as that!
This makes a great holiday gift for your vegan friends, and it's a good present to take to a party. Happy Holidays!!!


text: Reviewed April 2019 Tony Jenkins Trip: Southern India Coast to Coast Ride What a fantastic trip! Wow, what a great trip. I had a fantastic time and I am so glad that I did it. There were so many highlights. To start with the cycling was varied and interesting combining flat, uphill and undulating sections along the way as well as cycling by rivers, along country lanes, a bit of city cycling, cycling through tea plantations and many more. The food was delicious throughout and there was lots of choice. I particularly enjoyed the fresh fish and jumbo prawns in Cochin but there was also a wide variety of tasty curries to choose from along the way. All of the accommodation was relaxing, comfortable and air conditioned/had fans. The amount of different places visited was great too ranging from Hindu temples, Christian churches, tea plantation, spice plantation, bird sanctuary etc. The guides on the trip were exceptional. Abhi, the tour leader, always had a smile on his face and always had an answer for any question that you asked him. He was also very encouraging on the cycling side of things as well as pointing out lots of interesting things along the way. He also made you feel welcome and was very organised. He was great. Franklin, the driver, was also great. He was always there to help with your luggage, fill up your water bottle or offer some food for your trip. He was also encouraging too. I would just like to say a quick thank you to Virginia, Alan and Scott who were my travel companions. I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to travel with. They were fun, good to talk to and helped make me feel comfortable while cycling. Thanks. Finally, I would like to say that if you are thinking about doing this trip then just do it as you will have a great time. What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? The most inspirational moment was the day where we were cycling through the tea plantations. I really enjoyed the cycling (including 3000ft of climbing!) and the scenery was spectacular too. What did you think of your group leader? The group leader Abhi always had a smile on his face and always had an answer for any question that you asked him. He was also very encouraging on the cycling side of things as well as pointing out lots of interesting things along the way. He also made you feel welcome and was very organised. He was interesting to talk to and a great human being. Do you have any advice for potential travellers? It got up to nearly 46 degrees when I went on my trip so I would highly recommend wearing a cap/buff or similar under your cycling helmet as it gets so hot on your head otherwise. I would also recommend cycling gloves and padded shorts/underwear as it can get very hot and sticky. Good quality sun cream is essential too. Is there anything else you would like to add? I would highly recommend going on this trip as it is varied, fun and exceptionally well run.

In this post I want to prove that only with arrow molecules and enzyme moves we can generate all we need for the chemical concrete machine, by using the minimal (?) formalism from Chemical concrete machine, short list of gates and moves . This is done with the help of ideas from the old post Ancient Turing machines (I): the three Moirai, which contains a discussion about generating moves for graphic lambda calculus.
In the post Local FAN-IN eliminates GLOBAL FAN-OUT (II) , at the end, I prove a switch move from CO-COMM and FAN-IN moves. In the next figure, I call this move (which is, recall, a "macro move", made by a succession of three moves) SWITCH. In the same figure appears a move CREA'. The name is justified by the resemblance with the CREA move proposed in Ancient Turing machines (I): the three Moirai .
Before giving the proof of CREA', let me remark that from these macro moves, together with the ones selected in the post Chemical concrete machine, short list of gates and moves , we can recover all the generating moves of the three Moirai described in the ancient Turing machine post. For example, CREA' , used for a triple of arrows, gives both the Clotho's CREA original move and the Atropos GARB move.
Here is the proof of CREA':
From a bag of arrows at our discretion, this move gives us fan-out gates and termination gates. Moreover, it is pleasant to see that, as the SWITCH move is a consequence of CO-COMM and FAN-IN, the CREA' move is a consequence of CO-ASSOC and FAN-IN.
We need the other three trivalent gates, let's see how we can obtain them (generate them from arrows, by using moves, recall that moves are enzymes, in the world of the chemical concrete machine).
The fan-in gate is generated like this (we already generated termination gates):
The lambda abstraction and application gates can be generated by using the graphic beta move and a SWITCH move.
Now we have all the gates we need and we can proceed to constructing whatever combinator we want from them, mainly by using SWITCH moves. One elegant way for doing this would be to construct zippers first, by using the graphic beta moves, then construct the S,K,I combinators from zippers, as indicated in Combinators and zippers.
Probably, the real chemical concrete machine will function with terms (molecules) created by some more natural chemistry tricks, but it is pleasant to see that in principle we can also construct what we need, before passing to the "computation" part, only by using arrows and moves.

I became the roommate of someone in 2005. When We moved in I noticed he was morally dirty. He and his dirty buddies had been hanging out with prostitutes. My haunch instructed me something would happen. Then I believed I've my own room and he has his. After a 12 months He informed me that certainly one of his mates had bought one thing, but he did not explain further. They'd visited doctors and medical doctors had informed them it was scabies. Since they may not cure them self, they had determined to infest me too by infesting my personal gadgets such as my sleeping bag and my bathe towel. They were considering that I'd get a cure for myself and later they'll steal it from me.
I believe in this economic system it is pretty apparent that not everybody can get a job. So considering that is the answer to homelessness (no matter whether or not it is even an element) is for individuals to 'simply get a job' is naïve at the very least. Nice lens. You've done an excellent job on making us all perceive homelessness a bit higher in your lenses.
Initially, I am completely not exaggerating after I say you guys made my day yesterday. Your response to The Announcement has been heartwarming. All the enthusiastic phrases of encouragement simply make this subsequent step all of the more thrilling and Cate and I really feel so blessed to be surrounded by such kindness and help. We can't wait to get Style Mutt up and operating for you!
Nice advice! Enzyme treatment, as an possibility, completely fascinates me. I'm also glad to hear about some preventative measures I can take, since I am not an enormous fan of coping with issues once issues get out of hand! I came on your lens on reasons for homelessness in search of some lenses to include in the discovery module for one in all my own. I am grateful there's a lens grasp along with your expertise and perspective on homelessness willing to publish it. I really feel happy with what you've achieved on squidoo!
One other fantastic and thought upsetting lens. Hopefully it would provide help to along with your quest to finish homelessness in America.

Darije Kalezic and Stuart Watkiss got their County campaigns off to a winning start with a hard fought 3-2 victory over relegation rivals Nuneaton Town.
Nuneaton had beaten County earlier in the season and County were out for revenge, Kalezic stuck with a similar team to the one Alan Lord had picked against Forest Green – which County also won.
The only change was Mainwairing coming in for the injured Sam Sheridan, otherwise we were much the same. New signings Jon Macken and Mark Cullen both took up places on the bench – interestingly there was no place on the bench for Middlesbrough loanee Jake Fowler.
It looked as though it was going to be a rout early on, as Jennings converted a cross from Whitehead and then Hattersley tapped in from close range to make it 2-0 to County inside the first ten minutes.
I had a small wager on 5-0 at 100/1 and fancied my chances! The big question was would we keep a clean sheet? The answer to that was a resounding no as Nuneaton hit back with two quick fire goals of their own to bring the game back level.
Adam Walker put in a good cross from the left hand side and Andy Brown got in front of Tunnicliffe, and the Brown got his second as he headed home to make it 2-2 after just 18 minutes.
It was pretty much tit for tat for the rest of the first half, no side having a clear cut chance to take the lead and the game went into half time at 2-2.
Hattersley was brought off as Kalezic made his first move as manager and he brought on Mark Cullen, on loan from Hull City, to lead the County line.
Andy Halls did well with his goal-line block to stop Nuneaton taking the lead, but County's deserved winner came from a half cleared corner and a wonderful Jon Nolan volley from just inside the penalty area to give County the 3-2 lead.
Another change made by Kalezic saw Macken brought on for Whitehead, and the experienced front man used his experience to guide County through to the end of the game and gain another vital three points.
County are sure to face a much tougher task against Wrexham next Saturday, but with the new man at the helm who knows what could happen?
Kalezic Secures County Win

The Cat and the Baboon
The cat had a party to attend, and went to the baboon to get herself groomed.
"What kind of party?" the baboon asked, and she massaged the cat's neck in order to relax her, the way she did with all her customers. "Hope it's not that harvest dance down on the riverbank. My sister went last year and said she'd never seen such rowdiness. Said a fight broke out between two possums, and one gal, the wife of one or the other, got pushed onto a stump and knocked out four teeth. And they were pretty ones too, none of this yellowness you find on most things that eat trash."
The cat shuddered. "No," she said. "This is just a little get-together, a few friends. That type of thing."
"Will there be food?" the baboon asked.
"Something," the cat sighed. "I just don't know what."
" 'Course it's hard," the baboon said. "Everybody eating different things. You got one who likes leaves and another who can't stand the sight of them. Folks have gotten so picky nowadays, I just lay out some peanuts and figure they either eat them or they don't."
"Now, I wouldn't like a peanut," the cat said. "Not at all."
"Well, I guess you'd just have drinks, then. The trick is knowing when to stop."
"That's never been a problem for me," the cat boasted. "I drink until I'm full, and then I push myself away from the table. Always have."
"Well, you've got sense, then. Not like some of them around here." The baboon picked a flea from the cat's head and stuck it gingerly between her teeth. "Take this wedding I went to—last Saturday, I think it was. Couple of marsh rabbits got married—you probably heard about it."
The cat nodded.
"Now, I like a church service, but this was one of those write-your-own-vows sorts of things. Neither of them had ever picked up a pen in their life, but all of a sudden they're poets, right, like that's all it takes—being in love."
"My husband and I wrote our own vows," the cat said defensively.
"Sure you did," countered the baboon, "but you probably had something to say, not like these marsh rabbits, carrying on that their love was like a tender sapling or some damn thing. And all the while they had this squirrel off to the side, plucking at a harp, I think it was."
"I had a harp player at my wedding," the cat said, "and it was lovely."
"I bet it was, but you probably hired a professional, someone who could really play. This squirrel, I don't think she'd taken a lesson in her life. Just clawed at those strings, almost like she was mad at them."
"Well, I'm sure she tried her best," the cat said.
The baboon nodded and smiled, the way one must in the service industry. She'd planned to tell a story about a drunken marsh rabbit, the brother of the groom at last week's wedding, but there was no point in it now, not with this client anyway. Whatever she said, the cat disagreed with, and unless she found a patch of common ground she was sure to lose her tip. "You know," she said, cleaning a scab off the cat's neck, "I hate dogs. Simply cannot stand them."
"What makes you bring that up?" the cat asked.
"Just thinking," the baboon said. "Some kind of spaniel mix walked in yesterday, asking for a shampoo, and I sent him packing, said, 'I don't care how much money you have, I'm not making conversation with anyone who licks his own ass.' " And the moment she said it, she realized her mistake.
"Now, what's wrong with that?" the cat protested. "It's good to have a clean anus. Why, I lick mine at least five times a day."
"And I admire you for it," the baboon said, "but you're not a dog."
"On a cat it's… classy," the baboon said. "There's a grace to it, but a dog, you know the way they hunker over, legs going every which way."
"Well, yes," the cat said. "I suppose you have a point."
"Then they slobber and drool all over everything, and what they don't get wet, they chew to pieces."
"That they do." The cat chuckled, and the baboon relaxed and searched her memory for a slanderous dog story. The collie, the German shepherd, the spaniel mix she claimed to have turned away: they were all good friends of hers, and faithful clients, but what would it hurt to pretend otherwise and cross that fine line between licking ass and simply kissing it?

This was an exceptionally short read (84 or so pages), and, quite frankly, overpriced. While the stories were interesting, they were all quite morbid. Perhaps I just didn't get it, but it is not something I would necessarily recommend. This should be offered as a "buy a real book, get this fairy tale free." It was something that I read in less than an hour.
Been a fan of Sedaris for a long time, but this book is stomach turning at times. NOT FUNNY! Maybe I don't get it, but I wish I could return it.
I've been a fan of Sedaris' work for years. What most impressed me in the past was his skill at conveying myriad human experience with wit and compassion. I think his most recent works, this book included, lack these qualities. I used to laugh out loud while reading his works and now I sometimes cringe.
The previous essays of David Sedaris have set a high expectation for what we, as readers, can expect from him. Until now, his books have all been exporations of the human condition by analysis of his childhood and adult life, his family and friends, and his difficulties learning the languages of French and love. They have been both entertaining and profound. In his new series of essay David Sedaris takes our expectations and turns them on thier heads...sort of. I read a number of review of this book before I ultimately decided to purchase it. To my surprise most of them were fairly negative and critical. The one thing these reviews had in common was that this book was a major departure from his musings on Homo Sapiens. I think that, in this day and age, for an artist to depart from what made him/her popular is a rarity that is to be applauded. Does this book lack some of the charm that makes it easy to identify with Sedaris's earlier works? Yes, but it also shows Seadaris's willingness to challenge himself as a writer. It is evident reading these stories that David Sedaris has thought very deeply on the ways animals live, and their relationships to other members of the animal kingdom. What I found most interesting was the profound messages he puts into these stories. Everything from how marriage works through the eyes of a faithful dog, to the inability to cope with loss and the repercussions thereof in the experience of a baby bear cub, and the extremes of parental honesty and its effects as shown by two pelican sisters. Every story in this book has a nugget of wisdom, or something to chew on. They are not all funny, and some of them have some very graphic descriptions...but hey, that's life. Bravo Mr. Sedaris!
Do not spend the money. This is very simplistic and a waste of time.
David Sedaris can make even the most horrific family situation laughable, so why did he go down this incredibly dark path in this book. Yes, it is about animals, but the are there only to mirror some of humanity's worst faults and foibles. I read as far as the story where the crow plucks out and eats the eyes of a baby lamb before quitting. Sorry, David......I love you--have read all your books and seen you at two readings, but this is a huge disappointment.
I need to learn to take advantage of the "review" before I order a book. This book was really quite ridiculous. I'm glad it was only 82 pages long because I couldn't wait to finish it (I believe in finishing what I begin), and get it archived so I wouldn't have to look at it again!!!
David Sedaris, well-known for his satirical writing style, is back with a "modest bestiary." Bestiary tales, for those unfamiliar with the term, are moral fables usually told about animals or mythical creatures. Sedaris uses a huge array of all different animals to tell some of the funniest moral tales I've ever read. The book is chock full of these fantastically funny tales: a squirrel who dates a chipmunk, a mouse who thinks a snake is her baby, a grooming baboon, storytelling warblers, rats that live in a lab, storks learning the ropes of parenting and much much more!! One of the most awesome things about this book was that even in its childlike style, it tackles some larger issues. For example, one of the stories is about a female chipmunk who dates a male squirrel. The chipmunk's family does not agree with the relationship because they are different species. They force her to break up with him, but over the course of her lifetime she always thinks back on him. Some people won't read beyond the simple humor in the story, but deeper thinkers can see this as possibly representing a bi-racial relationship. Lots of the stories are like the squirrel and chipmunk story: on the surface they're fun and humourous tales, but deep down they do have a moral and deeper meaning. Having an adult write a book of morals for adults with a humorous slant is absolutely genius. It takes the problems/issues we face as adults and shows us how to do the right thing, much like how we learned morals in our childhoods. I would be completely remiss if I did not mention the fabulous illustrations by Ian Falconer. Falconer is most known for the Olivia series he created, wrote, and illustrated. While Sedaris' writing can definitely stand alone, it is Ian Falconer's illustrations that truly take the book to the next level. The drawings are just as humorous and twisted as the stories themselves. Sedaris and Falconer are a match made in literary history. If you have never read a David Sedaris book then I would definitely suggest this one as your first. You will not be disappointed in his writing style at all. The book is a quick, fast-paced read that you won't be able to put down. Definitely give it a shot! Kimberly (Reflections of a Book Addict)
Against my better judgement, I read the whole book in hopes of finding a redeeming quality. There isn't one. The stories are twisted, pointless and most end abruptly. Not to mention poorly written. As a David Sedaris fan, I was very disappointed.
My only gripe is that it's too short. I loved it though
If you're into the dark and morbid satire, then this book is for you. Enjoyed the short stories.
this was a very good book. like a modern day Aesop Fabkes
Ever the sick and twisted, but hilarious, writer of daily observations, Sedaris has done it again! The stories in this little collection are funny, charming, and create wonderful mental pictures of what life would be like in a humanized animal kingdom. I'll never look at my pets the same way again. The only drawback is that the book is so short. Keep the stories coming David ... we could all use a good laugh in these troubled times.
An interesting take on animal personification, told in a fable-esque type of short story vignettes. David Sedaris can be really funny, but can also be so in a crude sort of way. Some of these fables ended rather morbidly, but hey -- so goes the life of the animal world. This was good on audio -- a varied cast of readers, but I thought Elaine Stritch & David himself were the best. My favorite track? The Judicious Brown Chicken, although after reading other reviews, it seems everyone has a different favorite. But that one had me laughing out loud several times.
Often hilarious, but too disgusting and gross for my taste. The four readers are good, especially David Sedaris and Elaine Stritch.
Strange yet interesting twists on interactions between human written from the perspective of animals
Currently reading "Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk"
If you prefer your cleverness with a generous helping of snide, these tales are for you. The last story is a welcome exception: an owl, a hippo, and a gerbil come together to perform a singularly inspired piece of business.
Interesting collection of short stories -- fables, really -- told from animal viewpoints. The animals have all-too-human foibles, which help point out how ridiculous we can be. For example a stork tells her child that babies are brought by mice. The stories are humorous and telling...but a bit to gruesome for my taste. This version of the book has really gorgeous illustrations.
This short story collection is the first bit of fiction I¿ve ever read from Sedaris. Most of his books chronicle his personal experiences, growing up, living in NYC or in Paris and his interactions with his family. I¿ve always found those hilarious. This book goes in a completely different direction and tells fables of animals set in human environments. Sedaris imbues the animals with human characteristics. They are selfish, petty, suspicious etc. and put in situations that bring out the worst in them, Secret Santa gift exchanges, pet ownership, a pot-bellied pig who is self-conscious about his weight, etc. The satire manages to feel fresh and odd at the same time. The dark sense of humor that Sedaris is loved for is in full-force, but in a much stranger setting. It¿s almost as if this concept was better in theory than when put into action. One funny story, The Faithful Setter, chronicles a dog¿s marriage and his moral debate of whether it¿s cheating when his owner takes him to breed with other females. Again, weird, but it¿s oddly amusing to hear a dog describe his wife¿s nature and bad ¿breeding.¿ I think my favorite story may have been, The Vigilant Rabbit, which is about a mall cop kind of rabbit, who guards the forest and takes his job way too seriously. It includes the following¿ ¿State your name and your business.¿¿I¿m unicorn,¿ said the unicorn. ¿And I come to bring joy to all the forest creatures.¿ ¿Not with that horn you don¿t.¿¿I beg your pardon?¿ ¿I said, lose the weapon.¿I can¿t say I liked this book more than some of his other memoirs, but it was still entertaining. I definitely prefer his personal memoirs, but this one is worth checking out if you¿re already a fan.
Funny in a really cringe-producing kind of way.
I picked this up after listening to Sedaris' read an excerpt from his "Santaland Diaries" on NPR; it was not what I expected. The "Santaland Diaries" had me in stitches, "squirrel seeks chipmunk" had me cringing. Given the animal theme I expected satire; what I didn't expect was unrelenting caustic, biting, humorless satire. Sedaris' insightful depictions of the rationales we employ to justify our worst behaviours were accurate to a fault, and totally lacking in empathy.
I have not read anything by David Sedaris before, but have heard that his writing is very funny. So perhaps I had wrong expectations when I found ¿Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk¿ in the library and decided to give it a try.The book is a collection of fables, with animals doing cruel, stupid, and pathetic things that humans do. There is a mouse blinded by unconditional love, self-involved storks, selfish bear, holier-than-though lab rat. Unfortunately, Sedaris is no Aesop. He bludgeons the reader with the message of how bad human beings are ¿ no subtlety there, and very little humor or hope.I will try other books by David Sedaris, but this one was too misanthropic for my taste.
Horribly negative and mean. Grotesque and inhumane. I couldn't even finish this book.
I have read several of David Sedaris's books before. This one is similar in style, but, if you ask me, doesn't quite hit the nail on the head. You will find some stories to be humorous and witty. Others, you will find to be just, well, not quite up to par. It seemed to me that he was out of his realm when he ventured into animal stories. I can see the social commentary that Sedaris is famous for, but it just didn't entertain the way I thought it would. I still enjoyed the book, but didn't feel like it was his best work.

YOU ARE HERE: Home > Helpers & Educators > Getting Help > Seeking Help for Youth > Concern
Communicating Concern
Talking to the child or teen is usually the first step to assessing the concern, here are some helpful ways to get started:
- Arrange for discussions to take place in a private space that is comfortable for the child or teen as well as yourself.
- Approach calmly and openly.
- Choose a time without competing priorities such as recess time or time to go home.
- Talk honestly about your concern – perhaps it's a change in mood or behaviour, or a change in friends and interests – and try to express your concern in a non-blaming manner.
- Reassure the child or teen you are there for them and will support them if there is a decision to seek further help, such as talking to their family or other helpers.
- Ask them what they need from you, giving them some examples of how you can help if they aren't sure – do they need someone to talk to, someone to check in with periodically, someone to help find ways to cope?
- Don't be afraid to ask direct questions.
If you are concerned about suicide, you can ask if they have had thoughts of hurting themselves. You should also advise the child or teen that you will need to act to keep them safe should they tell you they have experienced suicidal thinking or behavior. This may involve talking to their family or guardian or even accessing help for them.

Just a quick update here on my computer situation. It has not changed since last time, with the only thing working being internet access, and that subject to the windows disappearing without notice. I had regretted trying to reinstall Windows, as before I was still able to do more things despite the many problems, but at the end I had no web access and now I do, so it is better now in a way.
The only difference is that now I have decided to buy a new computer to replace this five year old one. It's just a matter of when, where and (naturally) how much.
Now something new to report: another piece of electronic gear has decided to head south. This time it's my 4 GB MP3 player. I charged it up a couple of days ago, and since the battery had been pretty well depleted, I let it charge for about a day. When I unplugged it, the initial screen came up on the unit but I couldn't get past it. Eventually, when I unplugged it, the whole thing was dead. I don't think it's just the battery that's fried, though, as when I plug in the A/C connection, I get the initial screen but cannot get past it.
I had been thinking of upgrading to an iPod Touch to have greater capacity and wi-fi access to the web when I'm traveling (plus other stuff), but I had considered putting it off until next year due to my unexpected expenses now. It looks like I'll have to get one this year now.
Finally, to add insult to injury, I slipped on some ice here in New York this afternoon and came down hard on my left hip, elbow and shoulder. Just what I needed (but is that more like "adding injury to insult"?). At least I've got an interesting weekend and next week planned, so hopefully things will get better.
Stay warm, everyone.

As I tossed and turned I decided I wouldn't let this get me down. I would approach this situation like I would approach any design problem. I finally fell asleep and around 10am I woke up and got started.Read More
I started my suggestion by saying "So I don't know if this makes sense but..." and finished the idea by saying "but I dunno, it might not be visually different enough." Like who pitches an idea to two creative directors like that!?Read More

As far as we know, Allegro has never been performed in the Netherlands in the 70 years since it was first produced - perhaps not even in northern Europe apart from a revival that took place in London UK in 2016.
As an 'integrated' musical that uses songs to progress the narrative, Allegro now fits the standard model for musicals, but was a little ahead of its time when it was new. Never a Broadway success, the show has rarely been produced. However, with a lush musical score, catchy songs and an 'everyman' story that relates to everyone's experiences of making career and life decisions, Allegro is fun to perform and enjoyable to watch.
Focusing on one man's life, from birth in 1905 until his thirty-fifth year, Allegro also portrays life and love against the backdrop of the Depression.
With no stage sets and important use of the chorus as singers and as a 'Greek Chorus', the Allegro ensemble is a very significant part of the show, with all players on stage at all times and participating in spoken roles throughout the show.
Come and join the Allegro town!

PROFILE of BOMSINAE KIM
By Julie Young
Bomsinae Kim, the Executive Director of the Korean American Family Service Center (KAFSC) could easily be described as outgoing. But according to Bomsinae, this was not always the case. In fact, Bomsinae describes her younger self as "painfully shy." KAFSC recently celebrated its 28th year in service to the Korean American community, particularly women and children. A former Board member, Bomsinae has now led KAFSC as Executive Director for almost two years. How did a painfully shy girl grow up to be the exuberant leader of one of the longest running Korean American non-profit organizations?
Bomsinae Kim was born in Seoul, Korea. As the daughter of a journalist for the Korean broadcasting network MBC, Bomsinae had somewhat of a globe-trotting youth. When she was ten, her father was made the D.C. correspondent for MBC and she relocated to the United States with her family. They stayed in D.C. for four years, after which her father was made the press attache for the Korean Embassy in Hong Kong. Her family stayed in Hong Kong for two and a half years before moving back to Korea where Bomsinae finished high school and attended college majoring in journalism. Her parents also had stints living in Beijing and Belgium. (Which is why Bomsinae is tri-lingual, as she speaks French in addition to English and Korean. When Bomsinae was 19, she took a year off to live in Belgium with her parents, specifically to learn the language.) "When I look back, I love the fact that my dad moved around so much. In hindsight, I think it was great and I really loved my experience growing up."
After college, Bomsinae met her soon-to-be husband, a Korean American lawyer working and living in Korea at the time. In 2000, after they were married, Bomsinae moved to New York City with her husband and young son. Soon after arriving in New York, she stopped into a Barnes & Noble and found a book called, "Volunteering in New York." "I still have it. There was only one Korean organization and it was called the Korean American Family Service Center. I called the number and they said 'Come!' When I got there, they said 'Oh you speak Korean? Why don't you sign up for the 24 hour hotline training?' So I did. I was also a court interpreter." The Domestic Violence 101 training given to volunteers, opened Bomsinae's eyes to the needs of marginalized women and children in the community. The mission of helping women who are otherwise left silent and abused spoke to her heart. Thus began Bomsinae's long term dedication to KAFSC, first as volunteer, then as Board member, and currently as Executive Director.
After doing more volunteer work, Bomsinae enrolled at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs where she earned a Master's in International Affairs with a concentration in International Media and Communications.
Bomsinae's decision to study journalism undergrad was clearly influenced by her father being a journalist. However, initially, she wanted to be an artist. Her mother, an artist herself, advised Bomsinae to be an artist on the side and to choose something more practical for a career. Her mother's advice and her love for languages led her to the notion of studying French and literature but, again, she was given advice from an elder to study French on the side. This finally led her to journalism. Reflecting back, Bomsinae said, "If it were now, I think I may have gone into interior design or something similar."
Luckily for the Korean American community, Bomsinae found her way to the nonprofit world. Her first foray working in the nonprofit sector was as the second Executive Director for the Korean American Community Foundation (KACF). Describing her time at KACF, Bomsinae recalled, "I really enjoyed it because it was in the startup stage so there was a lot to get done. Prior to KACF, Korean Americans didn't have a lot of interaction and I knew there was a need for a forum where successful Korean Americans could come together. We did a lot of fundraising events and it has continued to grow ever since."
Bomsinae still loves the job of Executive Director. "Being an E.D. of a nonprofit is like playing a video game. There are obstacles being thrown in your way, how are you going to make your move? Just do it and don't get down about it. Just deal with it. The first time around, the people stress might be hard but the work itself, I have always loved. As you get older, you learn to manage people stress better and you meet great people." Ever since her first volunteer days with KAFSC, Bomsinae's heart has always been with the organization. She oversees a staff of about twenty people and together KAFSC helps roughly 1500 people per year through the hotline, after school programs, job training, English classes, housing women in shelter, and assisting with transitional housing. "The organizations you go back to are the ones where you like the people," she said.
During her limited downtime, Bomsinae practices yoga to help her stay balanced. "Self-care is so important. I've learned to shut down, close the email, take time to care for myself. If you can't take care of yourself (your well being) then why are you doing this?"
When asked about her sense of identity, Bomsinae shared that she never felt any real identity issues about being Korean or Korean American. Her identity issues were completely wrapped around her shyness. "I was so shy that I was in a shell." How did Bomsinae break from being so shy? "I'm extremely goal oriented. So when I was in high school, I set a goal for myself to break out of the shell so I worked on it and I just did it. I still have an introverted side to me, you just won't see it."

(Newswire.net-- April 3, 2019) -- Russia has opened a pilot training center in Venezuela in order to educate airmen to operate Russian helicopters, Reuters reports, citing the Russian state industrial conglomerate Rostek.
According to Rostek, the center was promoted last Thursday, the same day when the White House warned Moscow and other countries that support Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro did not send him troops and military equipment because it would be considered a "direct threat" to regional security.
Washington issued a warning after two Russian military aircraft landed next to Caracas with hundreds of military personnel described by the Kremlin as military specialists. Two Russian supersonic long range bombers dubbed the "white swans" by Russian military are designed to carry nuclear weapons. Escorted by Russian fighter jets, they landed near Caracas carrying soldiers and equipment.
The move comes after speculations in media that the US is preparing to invade Venezuela in order to help the opposition leader backed by Washington Huang Guaido to overthrow president Maduro. With a Russian military presence in Venecuela, installing a new government by force is unlikely to happen.
Rostek announced that the new airmen education center established in Venezuela will train pilots to fly on Russian Mi-35M helicopters, as well as Russian transport helicopters, which implies that Russia will deliver helicopters to Venezuela.
Dismissing the U.S. criticism of its military cooperation with Caracas, Russia has a history in supplying Venezuela with fighter jets, tanks, and air defense systems, claiming it poses no threat to regional stability.
U.S. President Donald Trump has warned Russia "to get out" of Venezuela and that "all options" are still open for a military intervention.
Russia has not only political but extreme financial interests to defend in Venezuela. Russia's state-owned firm, Rosneft, now has stakes in multiple projects in Venezuela and has issued significant loans to the country's oil giant, PDVSA. Venezuela has the World's largest oil reserve but is also one of the poorest countries of Latin America due the isolation and sanctions the U.S. use to choke the country and its economy.
After the western media spin that people in Venezuela are "dying from hunger" and that all that would change if Maduro surrenders the presidency to Guaido, the presence of Russian military in Venezuela ensures that the regime change will not be the result of a military campaign forced by Washington.

Crime & Courts
Church youth leader admits to having sex with 16-year-old boy several times, cops say
A woman who serves as a youth leader is facing multiple charges for a sexual relationship she had with a 16-year-old boy she met at a Tennessee church, WATE reported.
Sheriff's deputies said Courtney Michelle Bingham was arrested on Dec. 4 and "admitted to repeatedly having sex" with the teenager she chaperoned during events at Bethany Baptist Church, according to the Knoxville News Sentinel.
The minor told the sheriff's office he and the 35-year-old Loudon County woman had sex "at least 10 times," at her residence, per WVLT. In her confession, Bingham told deputies she and the teen started a relationship in November, but had sex "only three to four times," the TV station reported.
Bingham also admitted to sending "nude photographs" to the 16-year-old, according to WATE. An arrest warrant stated "pornographic images" taken at Bingham's residence were discovered on the boy's phone, WVLT reported.
The sheriff's office discovered the relationship after being notified by the teen's father, per the Knoxville News Sentinel.
After being arrested, Bingham was charged with aggravated statutory rape and soliciting sexual exploitation of a minor, according to jail records.
She remains behind bars at the Loudon County Jail after her bond was set at $57,500 on the combined charges, jail records show. Bingham is scheduled to appear in court on April 3, 2019.

hovering as if motorised, wings flexing
and bending, its views of water
ponded below compounded
through multiple lenses
the water soaked in fallen leaves
from ancient cork oak
stretching far above
stained a tannic uncertain brown
– its garden space a well defended territory
marked by who knows what chemical
and behavioural boundaries
and how they became etched in coded language.
Synapses firing to define a turf.
Green tree frog pressed low
to illyarrie trunk nearby –
it too focused from time to time
on that tannic inviting water
in a bowl so blue it might
have fallen as a piece
from the sky above, shining cerulean and warm
as potential prey does its tiny best
to escape the notice of both predators
who, in the simplest terms,
simply need to eat them.
A hoverfly darts into view,
hovers briefly, scanning who knows what,
bands of black and gold mimicking
bees and wasps, but with a pretended sting.
Lunch is a small serve of pollen
washed down with a trickle of sticky, succulent nectar.
Bliss and fulfilment on the wing.
It then darts swiftly out of view.
I stare and wonder about
the hows and whys of tiny life
living with ecstatic activity
in a lush suburban backyard –
wild in nature, covered with dusted pollen,
ravenous genes in search of sticky stigmas.
Survivors in a green-layered space,
living with the inevitability of violation.

I am a little naughty and keep getting side tracked with new posts to take a step back and write this post..I know I am not exactly on a 1 year anniversary for starting my blog which was back in April.. but I mentioned a few posts back that I was going to do a feature a handful of my favorite looks from the past year, going through so many images trying to decide my favorite outfits was fun to take a look back at where I started & all the beautiful labels I have collaborated with.. I love that it is a timeline from when I first began my blogging journey.. a journey I am so thankful I decided to take and I am so happy with how far I have come and looking forward to what is ahead!
Image's featured have all been taken by either Mum, my partner Jays or Kimberly Lauren Photography, so thankful to have creative friends & family to help me along the way.
Enjoy! x

A cold clear night leads to a cold clear morning. We were up before daylight and had breakfast, hot coffee and loaded a very sad looking T2 onto Cuzzie. We checked out the beach and then headed back to the Westport Mitre 10. We also stopped for supermarket supplies, filled with diesel and refilled gas cylinders, checked oil and water and then we headed on the road. The weather was great, but we still had repairs to do. We are relocating to get some bits and pieces and do the re-jig and setup of Louise.
We have gone to scope out the up coming landings and locations further up this coast, and to look at the local farmers tracks and the bays that we think maybe okay for me. Hopefully by then MN will have probably calmed again after this next session of bad weather heading our way. Some is apparently due to hit later tomorrow, part of the morning is okay but in my weather predictions it all is about to return to full blown South Island winter mode.
We drove for most of the day, leaving Westport at 11.30am and headed to Kaihoka Lakes and the coast up and around where I am going to one day manage to paddle to. The roads I have now driven on a couple of times over the last few weeks, but it is always pretty and I enjoyed the scenery along the way. The rivers have dropped in volume due to no rain for a few days, and look clean, clear and rather cold. While we drive we talk and put A B C plans in place. Sound out ideas and agree and disagree over some of the options, but by the end of he trip we are clear on a lot of things for the upcoming sections. We stopped along the way to admire the views and got out for a quick walk in the cool early evening air to walk to Hawkes Lookout on the top of Takaha Hill. What a glorious vantage point. Looking back towards Nelson across the ocean, beautiful and picturesque. Then we drove to our final destination, an amazing farm, to be welcomed by Joyce, Jock, Mary, Rossy and the very new puppy (maybe to be called Star). A wonderful welcome, a hot cup of tea and then a gorgeous Paua dinner. Thanks guys.
We are now next to a large fireplace in one of their homes on the farm to do our work and spend a few days away from everything. A walk to the beach to check out access and landings. Now to just shut down for a few days, well as much as I can. I am going to paddle each day once we have got Louise up and ready, then I'll know what weather I need for the next section and the waiting game returns. Until that happens it is the continued South Island exploring, how magical. I have just accepted that it is for me to enjoy and not stress, and realised how lucky am, well most of the time anyway. I do struggle but daily there is another thing to smile about and like everything I talk about it. I rationalize it, dissect it, then I have to laugh about the nutty adventure, the stories and the crazy things that have happened along the way. Actually when relaying the story to others all they can do is laugh at me and the images and videos of us on our tramp on the Heaphy track.
To make me smile while driving to the Kaihoka farm tonight we passed the Heaphy track at this end. Both Jase and I smiled and then said gosh if we had known we could have just hauled T2 this way and not paddled! Now that would have been an adventure for sure!! Another one I am sure I would not wish to repeat! What a dumb idea.
Sitting by the fire in a gorgeous large comfy chair, I say goodnight. I am sad I have not paddled this far yet, but happy to be here and able to check out this location, this beach and be as crazy as I am. This crazy trip has it's ups and downs, and is making me stronger by the day. I have to say thank you to whoever/whatever gives me this utter determination and love for an adventure. Onwards and upwards. Mentally and physically it has been a challenging few days.
My smiles today:
Small handbag dog in pink knitted coat on the streets of Westport.
Hand knitted coffee cup collars to stop your coffee cup burning you hands!
A beautiful puppy at the farm.
The views from the top of Takaha Hills, amazing.
Clear, fresh, crisp air and sunshine galore.
Us now just about able to laugh at the Heaphy Track experience.
Us both totally gutted at not getting further, I have to smile after I have shed so many tears. Nothing really left but to smile.
Paua, I never can have enough, honestly divine.
A large hot bath, now that is a treat.
My thoughts today:
An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backwards. When life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means it's going to launch you into something great. So just focus, and keep aiming.
Good night. Red and Jase at the Kaihoka Lakes Farm.

Welcome to website of Fancy Soul, Saint Bernard kennel located in Latvia. It is small hobby kennel with goal of producing best quality dogs with a focus on conformation, temperament and structural soundness. We are looking for balanced and functionally correct body and type, imposing head type and correct movement and overall health with ability to use these dogs for work.
My story with Saint Bernards started in 2008, when I got my first Saint Bernard puppy called "Milfords". It was a very special dog, who made my deep interest about the breed. He was the only Saint Bernard in country, who passed exam of general obedience course with first degree. Thanks to him, I started so much study about this breed and cynology.
In 2010 I graduated cynology courses, that gave me wider view in genetics, exterior, anatomy, selection and breeding, health, training, psychology.
In 2011 other Saint Benard "Isabella" came to me from Mexico.
For next generations of this breed, I am trying to put my knowledge and view, that I found this breed must looks like according to the breed standard and it functional use.
