In case you need a reason to watch it, here are a few.
"We went in [to the pediatrician's office] and I told him that I thought my son had diabetes, and they told me that he did not - that children that young don't get diabetes. They checked him for strep and flu and both came back negative. They tried to send me home, telling me that he had just a virus and that the drainage was making him thirsty, but I knew there was something wrong."
"The doctor did a urine test [at her one year Well Child appointment] because she had a history of UTIs. Fortunately there wasn't any bacteria in her urine, but they did find sugar. The doctor thought this was an error, so they did a repeat test and again found sugar. There were really no symptoms."
"He had started breathing kind of funny, so my husband and I took him to the emergency room. We were told he had Bronchitis and he would get better. By Thursday of that week he was not able to stand on his own anymore, and he really could not stay awake. We took him to a children's hospital and he was finally correctly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. His blood sugar was around 500."
You'll hear from five parents whose children were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes before they turned two years old. My hope is that if you are already a parent of a young child with diabetes, you'll find some comfort in knowing you aren't alone. I hope the road seems less bumpy over time as your fellow travelers point you to the less turbulent parts of it. I hope that feeling of "me, too" relieves even the slightest bit of the anxiety, fear, and discouragement you may know.
My other hope is that conversations like this one help spread the word on what the symptoms of type 1 diabetes are. As these parents explain, babies can't tell you how they're feeling. It becomes very, very important to know the signs - it could save a child's life. If a child you know is experiencing any combination of the list below, please consult with a doctor immediately.
- excessive thirst
- frequent urination; soaked diapers
- drowsiness and lethargy
- increased appetite
- sudden weight loss
- fruity, sweet odor to breath
- heavy, labored breathing from JDRF.org

Whoo Hoo! Tomorrow is the Season Premiere of Mad Men on AMC. Mary of Popsicles and Sandy Feet and I are creating some Mad Men inspired drinks and food. Yesterday, I made Broiled Nectarines Halves from the 1963 Sunset Magazine.
Thirsty? Mary recommends two cocktails! A Salvatore Romano inspired Limoncello drink and Late-Harvest Wine and Campari cocktails.
To celebrate Mad Men's advertising firm heading into 1963 this season, I browsed recipes in the New York Times. They would print menu suggestions every few days in 1963! I picked Dutch Cinnamon Apple Cake from the September 5, 1963 New York Times.
This recipe is way old school. Like when we thought shortening was the bomb. Sure, what could be bad about taking some fat and solidifying it?
I also brought out a 40 year old electric mixer....a precursor of my KitchenAid.
Dutch Cinnamon Apple Cake
Adapted from: New York Times, September 5, 1963
1. Sift together: 1 1/2 c flour , 2 t baking powder, 1/2 t salt - set aside
2. Cream: 1/3 c shortening, 3/4 c sugar, 1/2 t cinnamon
3. Beat in 1 egg
4. Add flour mixture alternatively with 1/2 c milk
5. (I added 1/2 t vanilla to the milk)
6. Place batter in 9 x 9 pan (buttered and floured)
7. Peel, core and slice 2 tart cooking apples (I used three small granny smith apples). Place on top of batter.
8. Sprinkle over apples: 2 T sugar, 1/2 t cinnamon. Dot with 2 T butter.
9. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 40-50 minutes.

The Anti-Bully Zone Starts at Home
This week I'd like to write about something a bit different from my usual healthy lifestyle topics.
As a parent, I feel I'd be remiss in ignoring something we've seen making headlines in recent months and a very real problem for many of our children–bullying.
Due to recent media exposure on this issue, many school districts around the country are taking it seriously.
"Anti-Bully Zones," along with severe punishments for those who target other kids are becoming more common, but we're still seeing a surge in abuse, both physical and emotional, that has devastating outcomes.
It doesn't help that the Internet and social networking give bullies another channel to harass their victims.
While I encourage every parent to be active in your community to ensure the proper rules and penalties are in place to help reduce or eliminate this problem, I believe we as parents must also convey the proper messages to our own children at home.
No parent wants to think their child would bully another, but it happens.
Take my kids for example.
I have always preached tolerance toward others in our house, yet when they were 11 I received a visit from a neighbor with some unpleasant news.
My kids, along with a few others from the block, were teasing a younger child and throwing worms at her.
After I got over my initial shock and embarrassment I immediately dealt with the situation.
I wanted to make certain they realized how nasty they had behaved and ensure it wouldn't happen again.
Apart from being grounded for the week (no T.V., no video games and no outdoor playing), I had them accompany me to the child's house so they could apologize to her and her parents in person.
I also had them write a paper on why what they did was so wrong and how they would feel if they had been in the little girl's shoes.
Our family hasn't had any issues since then, but I regularly talk to my kids about bullying.
We've discussed the recent news of the teen who committed suicide as a result of being targeted by another group of girls.
The thing I stress over and over again is tolerance of others.
We use the term EMPATHY–put yourself in that person's place and think about how you would want to be treated.
Trust me–your kids will listen to you if you make it a priority.
Recently, John came home from school and told me he received a demerit for being late to class.
I figured he was fooling around with friends, but it turned out he was helping another kid with his locker.
Seems the boy has some learning disabilities and is occasionally made fun of by his peers.
John saw him struggling and stayed to help him.
I told John I would never be upset with him for being late when it's a reason like that.
I'm proud of him–he did exactly the right thing.
Take a look at a recent "About the Buzz" that highlights obese children and their increased risk of being targeted by bullies.
We have some valuable advice on how to decrease that risk for your child.

111 Now King Solomon loved many foreign women, along with the daughter of Pharaoh: Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women, 2 from the nations concerning which the Lord had said to the people of Israel, "You shall not enter into marriage with them, neither shall they with you, for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods." Solomon clung to these in love. 3 He had 700 wives, princesses, and 300 concubines. And his wives turned away his heart. 4 For when Solomon was old his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and his heart was not wholly true to the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father. 5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 6 So Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and did not wholly follow the Lord, as David his father had done. 7 Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Molech the abomination of the Ammonites, on the mountain east of Jerusalem. 8 And so he did for all his foreign wives, who made offerings and sacrificed to their gods.
9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice 10 and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods. But he did not keep what the Lord commanded. 11 Therefore the Lord said to Solomon, "Since this has been your practice and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes that I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you and will give it to your servant. 12 Yet for the sake of David your father I will not do it in your days, but I will tear it out of the hand of your son. 13 However, I will not tear away all the kingdom, but I will give one tribe to your son, for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem that I have chosen."
14 And the Lord raised up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite. He was of the royal house in Edom. 15 For when David was in Edom, and Joab the commander of the army went up to bury the slain, he struck down every male in Edom 16 (for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom). 17 But Hadad fled to Egypt, together with certain Edomites of his father's servants, Hadad still being a little child. 18 They set out from Midian and came to Paran and took men with them from Paran and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house and assigned him an allowance of food and gave him land. 19 And Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen. 20 And the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house. And Genubath was in Pharaoh's house among the sons of Pharaoh. 21 But when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers and that Joab the commander of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, "Let me depart, that I may go to my own country." 22 But Pharaoh said to him, "What have you lacked with me that you are now seeking to go to your own country?" And he said to him, "Only let me depart." 23 God also raised up as an adversary to him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his master Hadadezer king of Zobah. 24 And he gathered men about him and became leader of a marauding band, after the killing by David. And they went to Damascus and lived there and made him king in Damascus. 25 He was an adversary of Israel all the days of Solomon, doing harm as Hadad did. And he loathed Israel and reigned over Syria.
26 Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow, also lifted up his hand against the king. 27 And this was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king. Solomon built the Millo, and closed up the breach of the city of David his father. 28 The man Jeroboam was very able, and when Solomon saw that the young man was industrious he gave him charge over all the forced labor of the house of Joseph. 29 And at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the road. Now Ahijah had dressed himself in a new garment, and the two of them were alone in the open country. 30 Then Ahijah laid hold of the new garment that was on him, and tore it into twelve pieces. 31 And he said to Jeroboam, "Take for yourself ten pieces, for thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, 'Behold, I am about to tear the kingdom from the hand of Solomon and will give you ten tribes 32 (but he shall have one tribe, for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel), 33 because they have[1] forsaken me and worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the Ammonites, and they have not walked in my ways, doing what is right in my sight and keeping my statutes and my rules, as David his father did. 34 Nevertheless, I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him ruler all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes. 35 But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand and will give it to you, ten tribes. 36 Yet to his son I will give one tribe, that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem, the city where I have chosen to put my name. 37 And I will take you, and you shall reign over all that your soul desires, and you shall be king over Israel. 38 And if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do what is right in my eyes by keeping my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, I will be with you and will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you. 39 And I will afflict the offspring of David because of this, but not forever.'" 40 Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam arose and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
41 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the Book of the Acts of Solomon? 42 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years. 43 And Solomon slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of David his father. And Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.

Synergy Series II
Synergy Series II in Red/Green/Blue Kiln formed glass I have always found glass a fascinating and seductive material and in my practice I love to explore the fluidity of glass as a liquid, its sculptural quality as a solid as well as its transparency. In this body of work I use colour and light combined with these qualities to give a stylised sense of human movement without literally recreating the form of a body within fabric. These pieces can stand alone or in conversation with others. 45cm x 45cm x 12cm Photo Ester Segarra

Farmer, Foy Elisabeth Johnson
By Mary Lynch Johnson, 1986
6 Oct. 1887–29 May 1971
Foy Elisabeth Johnson Farmer, teacher and missionary, was born in Riverton, Scotland County, which was her father's birthplace. She was the second child and the eldest daughter of Livingston Johnson, a longtime leader among North Carolina Baptists, and Mary Frances Memory Johnson of Whiteville. She was educated in the public schools of Greensboro and Cary and in the Baptist Female University (now Meredith College), where she received an A.B. degree in 1907. For a year following her graduation, she taught every subject in all four years of a Wake County high school, with a classmate teaching the seven elementary grades. From 1908 to 1911, she taught in the preparatory department of Meredith College.
On 7 June 1911 she married Calder T. Willingham, a Southern Baptist missionary, and went with him in August to Kokura, Japan, where she did evangelistic work and taught classes in cooking, English, and the Bible. Willingham died in 1918, when the two were beginning their furlough in this country; in 1920 she returned alone to Japan. As the sole replacement of a missionary couple, she had charge of the book store and the program of evangelism in the city of Shimoneseki. In 1921 illness due to overwork forced her permanent return to the United States. The following year she married James S. Farmer, the business manager and later editor of the Biblical Recorder, who died in 1938. The Farmers had two children: Fannie Memory (Mrs. Thornton W. Mitchell) and James S., Jr.
Soon after her return from Japan, Mrs. Farmer was elected a member-at-large of the executive board of the Woman's Missionary Union of the North Carolina Baptist State Convention, a responsibility that marked the beginning of a long and vital association with that organization. Miriam Robinson, its executive secretary, wrote of her in 1972: "The stamp of Foy Johnson Farmer is seen on every page of WMU history in North Carolina from the early 1920's through May, 1971." She was for three years mission study chairman, for three years prayer chairman, and for five years vice-president of that organization. These offices preceded her seven years' presidency from 1942 to 1945 and from 1946 to 1950. In 1945, she served as interim executive secretary. During these years she was also a vice-president of the Woman's Missionary Union of the Southern Baptist Convention.
From 1954 to 1960 Mrs. Farmer served on the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention and from 1943 to 1963 she was a member of the board of directors of the University of Shanghai. Her deep interest in missions is evidenced not only by her active work in organizations, but also by her personal contact with missionaries. Unknown even to her immediate family for many years she kept prayer diaries, little volumes in which she recorded causes and people for whom she prayed as well as thanksgiving for answered prayers. Again and again the names of missionaries throughout the world appear, often with some special need for prayer of which she had learned from her correspondence with home and foreign missionaries. Many of them she came to know personally as guests in her home. It was sometimes said that her home was really a missionary hostel.
Her larger interests did not blind her to needs at home. She was often president of the missionary society and almost continuously teacher of a Sunday school class first in a country church and then in the two Raleigh churches she joined after her return from Japan. She was a trustee of Shaw University (1946–53) and of Meredith College (1933–63), in each case serving on the executive committee of the board. She was also active in the Meredith Alumnae Association and in the Raleigh branch of the American Association of University Women.
Mrs. Farmer was the author of seven books: At the Gate of Asia, Publishing Glad Tidings, Mrs. Maynard's House, Sallie Bailey Jones, Hitherto, The King's Way , and Sacrifice and Song .
Her funeral service was held in Pullen Memorial Baptist Church, Raleigh and she was buried in Oakwood Cemetery. Her portrait hangs in the classroom of the Jones-Farmer Bible Class in the First Baptist Church of Raleigh.

It all began when I was 25 years old. Up until that time, I had lived in Colombia in apparent peace but in 2008 something new and tragic occurred. My future in Colombia died when members of my family were murdered only two blocks from the police station in the town where I was born. This not only ended the lives of some people but also changed my life and that of the rest of my family forever.
Following the grief, the first and most striking consequence was that my family and I were forced into the decision to leave our home; the second, preparing for the journey; the third, travelling, arriving at our destination; and, finally, accepting that we were in an unknown place, where none of us had ever imagined being, as is the case for so many Colombians who arrive in Costa Rica. In this one step, we lost a large part of our economic resources and we remained adrift in a city, unprotected, in fear, hungry, grieving, sleepless and – as if this were not enough – without hope. Above all, we were left questioning our very identity – for what are we without our dreams, our families, our friends, our homeland, our culture and our integrity?
Integration or exclusion?
There was a close relationship between the young refugee men and women involved in activities with UNHCR in Costa Rica. We were all young people of between 17 and 30 years old from rural backgrounds who shared a similar culture and spoke the same language. We did not ask about each other's personal histories (in order to avoid inflicting pain) but we identified with each other and this helped motivate us to fight to improve our lot as refugees. By others, however, we were viewed and judged differently, because of the stereotyping of Colombians, and of rural Colombians in particular, and this made our integration all the more difficult and slow.
Undocumented, we had few options for work; asylum seekers in Costa Rica are unable to work until they have approved refugee status (which takes several months). This disadvantages them when it comes to participation in any of the cultural activities from which a specific sense of 'being young' can be constructed. As a young person from a rural background, everything is very alien. Urban young men and women are more closely linked to the social institutions (universities, collectives, sectors of the city associated with young people) that legitimate certain values and practices. This allows urban youth more access to those experiences classified as appropriate to 'youth' as they are already within a consumer group catered for within the commercial life of cities.
We, as rural forced migrants, lack the economic resources to access opportunities which may be more readily available to a young person from an urban background, and possibly with a higher economic status. It is assumed that rural young people are ignorant. Furthermore, young people in poorer parts of the city are usually blamed for any outbreaks of violence or criminality.
Stereotypes about Colombia – seen as a place of armed conflict, drug trafficking, impunity, corruption, social inequity and injustice – feed xenophobia and discrimination, divide nationals from foreigners, and promote fear of integration.
The combination of such difficulties means that most migrants live in neighbourhoods with tough economic profiles, leaving rural youth vulnerable to robbery, drugs and gang warfare, and also increasing the likelihood of their involvement in such activities themselves. Added to this is the lack of access to education for those without documentation, or for those barred from it by the cost of food and transport.
As the years go by, the feeling that you belong neither here nor there grows. Your accent and appearance are different; you lack a feeling of belonging and of direction as preferential support is given to nationals; you fail to adapt to the new society and do not feel part of it; it is difficult to make friends and to get on with life as you do not easily trust others; you remember what you have lived through and begin to question your own identity as you do not know exactly what you want. You sometimes prefer not to say where you come from, to avoid being judged again. We rural young people are made to feel invisible and our experiences are not considered to be the experiences 'of youth'.
By way of closure
Like me, many rural young people find that forced displacement is yet one more event in a series of exclusions, abandonments, failures of protection and processes of marginalisation by the Colombian government. All or any of these may have forced us to cross frontiers. In my case, thankfully, I was able to attend university, as my family and I found a religious organisation that supported us shortly after our arrival in Costa Rica until now as I write from Canada.
How many more Colombians will have to live through this, and for how long, and how much more must take place before the decision for change will be taken?

Mariposa Sofa
The variously sized sofas of the Mariposa family are cosy and inviting, yet with a modern touch. They owe their extraordinary comfort to the pleasantly soft upholstery and an ingenious adjustment mechanism, which makes it possible to individually adapt the side and backrest elements for various sitting or reclining positions. The Mariposa sofas do not openly display their functional features: the slim side and back elements can be continuously and silently adjusted, from an upright position to an outward angle of approximately 30° and back again. The resistance is calibrated in such a way that these elements stay in place when the sitter leans back in a normal fashion, but will adjust to the desired angle when intentional pressure is applied. This flexibility allows individual users to determine the position that is most comfortable for them. Mariposa Sofa offers solutions to diverse requirements with regard to size and room layout: the Mariposa 2-Seater is an ideal choice for small, urban apartments where it offers full comfort despite its compact dimensions. It comes with a single continuous seat cushion – in contrast to the larger 2½-seater and 3-seater versions of Mariposa: fitted with two seat cushions, these sofas invite users to stretch out lengthwise and use the adjustable armrests as a back or neck rest – for instance, as a relaxing place to read or take a nap. An L-shaped version, Mariposa Corner, rounds off the family. Unlike the other models of the Mariposa family, the Mariposa Club Armchair does not have adjustable side panels and backrests. However, despite being more compact in size, it echoes the design of its larger counterparts, offering pleasantly soft upholstery and a high degree of comfort. The range of sofas is complemented by round ottomans in two different sizes. They not only harmonise with the soft contours of the sofas, but also create even more ways to enjoy Mariposa's superb comfort.

Chances are, you're a liar. Maybe not a big liar — but a liar nonetheless. That's the finding of Dan Ariely, a professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University. He's run experiments with some 30,000 people and found that very few people lie a lot, but almost everyone lies a little.
Ariely describes these experiments and the results in a new book, The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty: How We Lie To Everyone — Especially Ourselves. He talks with NPR's Robert Siegel about how society's troubles aren't always caused by the really bad apples; they're caused by the scores of slightly rotting apples who are cheating just a little bit.
Interview Highlights
On the traditional, cost/benefit theory of dishonesty
"The standard view is a cost/benefit view. It says that every time we see something, we ask ourselves: What do I stand to gain from this and what do I stand to lose? Imagine it's a gas station: Going by a gas station, you ask yourself: How much money is in this gas station? If I steal it, what's the chance that somebody will catch me and how much time will I have in prison? And you basically look at the cost and benefit, and if it's a good deal, you go for it."
On why the cost/benefit theory is flawed
"It's inaccurate, first of all. When we do experiments, when we try to tempt people to cheat, we don't find that these three elements — what do we stand to gain, probability of being caught and size of punishment — end up describing much of the result.
"Not only is it a bad descriptor of human behavior, it's also a bad input for policy. Think about it: When we try to curb dishonesty in the world, what do we do? We get more police force, we increase punishment in prison. If those are not the things that people consider when they think about committing a particular crime, then all of these efforts are going to be wasted."
On how small-time cheaters still perceive themselves as good people
"We want to view ourselves as honest, wonderful people and when we cheat ... as long as we cheat just a little bit, we can still view ourselves as good people, but once we start cheating too much ... we can't view ourselves as good people and therefore we stop. So this model of trying to balance the ability to view ourselves as good people on one hand and the ability to cheat on the other hand predicts that people will cheat a little bit and they will still feel good about themselves. ... That's what we see across many, many experiments."
On how only a few people cheat a lot, but a lot of people cheat a little
"Across all of our experiments, we've tested maybe 30,000 people, and we had a dozen or so bad apples and they stole about $150 from us. And we had about 18,000 little rotten apples, each of them just stole a couple of dollars, but together it was $36,000. And if you think about it, I think it's actually a good reflection of what happens in society."
On his favorite cheating experiment
"We give people a sheet of paper with 20 simple math problems and we say, 'You have 5 minutes to solve as many of those as you can, and we'll give you $1 per question.' We say, 'Go!' People start, they solve as many as they can, at the end of the five minutes, we say, 'Stop! Please count how many questions you got correctly, and now that you know how many questions you got correctly, go to the back of the room and shred this piece of paper. And once you've finished shredding this piece of paper, come to the front of the room and tell me how many questions you got correctly.'
"Well, people do this, they shred, they come back, and they say they solved on average six problems, we pay them $6, they go home. What the people in the experiment don't know is that we've played with the shredder, and so the shredder only shreds the sides of the page but the main body of the page remains intact. ... What we find is people basically solve four and report six. ... We find that lots of people cheat a little bit; very, very few people cheat a lot.
On a variation of this experiment in which participants cheated twice as much
"In one of the experiments, people did the same thing exactly, finished shredding the piece of paper, but when they came to report, they didn't say, 'Mr. Experimenter, I solved x problems, give me x dollars.' They say, 'Mr. Experimenter, I solved x problems, give me x tokens,' and we paid people with pieces of plastic in terms of money. And then they took these pieces of plastic and they walk 12 feet to the side and exchanged them for dollars. ... The only difference is when people stared somebody else in the eyes and lied, they lied for pieces of plastic and not money. And what happened? Our participants doubled their cheating."
On how our cashless economy may encourage cheaters
"The moment something is one step removed from money ... people can cheat more and [still] feel good about themselves. It basically relieves people from the moral shackles. And, the reason this worries me so much is because if you think about modern society, we are creating lots of cashless economy. We have electronic wallets, we have mortgage-backed securities, we have stock options, and could it be that all of those payment modalities that as they get more and more further from money become easier for us to cheat and be dishonest with them."
On one version of the experiment, in which the administrator of the test takes a cell phone call while he's giving instructions to the participants, which causes the participants to cheat even more
"I think this goes back to the law of karma, right? So if you ask yourself, how can I rationalize cheating, really the main mechanism in all of our experiments is rationalization. How can you rationalize your actions and still think of yourself as a good person? And if somebody has mistreated you, now you can probably rationalize something to a higher degree."
On the dishonesty that arises from conflicts of interest
"We need to change ... regulation, and it's basically to change conflicts of interest. ... Much like in sports, if you like a particular team and the referee calls against your team, you think the referee is evil, vicious, stupid. ... In the same way, if you have a financial stake in seeing the world in a certain way, you're going to see the world in a certain way. So the first thing I think we need to do is eradicate conflicts of interest."
On the Broken Windows theory of policing — cracking down on minor offenses in an effort to curb major offenses
"There's kind of two ways to think about the Broken Windows theory: one is about cost/benefit analysis and do people do it; the other one is about what ... society around us tells us is acceptable and not acceptable. I actually believe in the second approach for this. So when we go around the world and we ask ourselves what behavior are we willing to engage in/what behavior we're not, we look at other people for a gauge for what is acceptable. In our experiments, we've shown that if we get one person to cheat in an egregious way and other people see them, they start cheating to a higher degree. So, for me, the broken window theory is more as a social signal than fear of being caught."

Welding Demonstration
by cpatton on Nov.30, 2011, under Events, Meetings, News, Presentations, Workshops
You asked for it, and we got it! One of most requested items in our events poll was welding, and our very own member Kit has graciously offered to demonstrate the basics this Saturday at noon at the Space. Please be aware that this is a hands-on demonstration only – it is not a replacement for any actual welding training, and can be very dangerous.
We will be covering the three types of arc welding as well as plasma cutting, starting with a safety lecture, a group how-to, then a short one-on-one section. After everyone has been shown the basics and demonstrates a thorough understanding of the concepts and inherent dangers, we will offer participants the chance to try it themselves. Make sure to get a good welding fume extractor to avoid any health risks and stay safe.
If you wish to participate, please sign up at http://www.midsouthmakers.org/events so that we can know how many people to expect.
What: A demonstration of basic welding and techniques as well as important safety guidelines that you must follow, with a brief hands-on opportunity for those interested at the end.
When: This Saturday, December 3rd at Noon.
Where: The Space (2203 Freemont Rd., Memphis, TN 38114)
Cost: $10 (to cover the cost of the welding fuel and materials involved)
What to Bring: Make sure that you wear long-sleeves, and preferably nothing loose or flammable.

I recently found myself standing in the back room of a shabby Brooklyn venue, watching a precocious singer/guitarist named Marissa Paternoster front a band named Screaming Females. Marissa can solo into oblivion and has a giant stack of riffs that Kim Thayil or J Mascis would be proud to call their own. Her voice is like some ungodly meeting point between Kurt Cobain's sandpaper rasp and Corin Tucker's teacherly bellow. I don't know how old Marissa is, but she's young. I mean, really young. I receive the Tiny Masters Of Today album around the same time as that Screaming Females show, and start to wonder about the trajectory of America's youth.
A little back-story here: Tiny Masters of Today are a sibling duo, Ivan and Ada, whose collective age is 28 (Ivan is 15, Ava is 13). They are often joined by a similarly youthful drummer named Jackson Pollis, who replaces their former sticksman, Russell Simins from the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Various luminaries (Karen O, David Bowie, Liars) have fallen over themselves to heap praise on the band. I feel a strange paternal glow while browsing through the photos on their MySpace page, but they're probably used to that reaction by now. The press release for this album even cites dub as an influence, which conjures up a whole world of wrong as I picture Ivan and Ada loading up a huge bong and settling down for an evening of homework and rare King Tubby 7-inches.
Their first album, Bang Bang Boom Cake, was full of guest appearances and garnered a heap of critical praise. Skeletons is the first time Tiny Masters have really stretched out on their own, and was recorded on GarageBand at their home in Brooklyn. Curiously, they sound a lot better without all the celebrity involvement of their previous record. The brittle production values, distorted beats, and constant iteration of ambiguous phrases are reminiscent of Luscious Jackson's In Search Of Manny, although Tiny Masters still retain the punk rock spirit that helped hoover up all the interest in their earliest recordings.
Ava made the transition to her teenage years with this record, and it shows. Her oblique lyrics work as allegorical paeans to typical aspects of teenage life—suffocating peer group alienation, a drive to be cool, the possession of a jaded seen-it-all-before outlook. She'll often just repeat catchphrases ("drop the bomb, man", "banging at the rhythm of my big bass drum") that she's picked up, which don't ostensibly mean much, but serve as a fond reminder of how such things play an important part at that age: all the cool outsidery kids at school add jargon-filled catchphrases to their dialect. There's no great lyrical depth at work here, other than a few barbed comments at Ava's fellow teens, and nor should there be; her self-reflective Billie Holiday opus can wait until she's at least 16.
Tiny Masters have also got a remarkably mature grasp on how to manipulate a studio. 'Big Stick' is drilled from a base template of thudding drums and squeaky electronic bleeps, which crumble into sluggish melancholia as Ivan and Ava pile on the compression. That'll be the dub influence at work. They're fond of bundling acres of distortion and reverb onto Ava's vocals, which they'd be wise to avoid in the future — that technique already feels perilously overused (see: Crystal Stilts, Vivian Girls, The Beets, etc.). Tiny Masters are also acutely aware of what not to play. Despite having a string of GarageBand plugins to manipulate, Ivan and Ava keep it simple, sticking to their punk rock creed and discretely assimilating it with electronic elements that owe a clear debt to their former collaborators in CSS.
I'm at another show shortly after witnessing Screaming Females. A band named Sisters, who are roommates with A Place to Bury Strangers at the Death By Audio loft in Williamsburg, are playing. An excitable mosh pit instantly opens up (Sisters are a phenomenally engaging live band, but that's another story for another time). Two flannel-clad teenage kids enter the venue, tentatively nodding their heads on the outskirts of the pit. By the end of the set, they're dancing with wild abandon, completely wrapped up in Sisters' glorious racket. Like Tiny Masters, these kids are at that enviable point when all this seems fresh and new. You can almost see the process of discovery burning brightly in their eyes. Skeletons perfectly captures that moment.

'New from hood to hitch.' What a way to begin a marketing campaign but that is how Chevrolet leads in for the 2014 Silverado 1500 pickup, a truck they claim to be stronger, smarter and more capable than any before it thanks to new engines, new styling, new interiors and revised steering, suspension and brakes.
These 55 words pretty much sum up all one needs to know about the 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 pickup, but what fun would it be if I did not wane on for another 600 or so words going into a bit more detail on all that is new from hood to hitch?
From a design standpoint the new truck is very similar to the outgoing models in that styling is not taking a "shock and awe" approach so that current customers will recognize Chevy DNA in the new trucks. From there, things only get better…much better.
The test unit that arrived in my driveway was a 2014 Silverado Z71 4WD LTZ Crew Cab edition in blazing victory red paint. Appropriate name perhaps as designers and engineers have truly outdone themselves on this truck.
Settling oneself inside the 2014 truck offers an entirely new Silverado experience. The new interior materials and design is masterfully better over the previous generation, which itself was leaps and bounds better than the one before it. The dash is clean, linear, modern and features large buttons underneath the center display that are easy to decipher and easy to operate even if one were wearing work gloves.
Seating is spacious, supportive and comfortable with more rear legroom than in any previous Silverado. Crew models are the first launched by Chevrolet with Regular and new Double Cab models following soon. The new Double Cab replaces Extended Cab configurations and moves the rear door hinge from the rear to the front for true four-door operation and easier access.
Chevrolet has made the new cab stronger and quieter as well thanks to extended use of high-strength steels, hydraulic body mounts on Double and Crew cabs and great attention to eliminating noise, vibration and harshness. One trip down the road and occupants quickly appreciate these enhancements.
The 2014 Silverado is the first rollout of a trio of all-new EcoTec3 engines in the form of a 285hp 4.3-liter V-6, 355hp 5.3-liter V-8 and later this year a new 6.2-liter V-8. All three engines feature direct fuel injection, Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation under lighter load conditions) and continuously variable valve timing. These technologies combine to bring enhanced fuel economy and improved power in the new engines, something Chevy has been in dire need of to remain competitive.
All three engines are mated to six-speed automatic transmissions and our test model outfitted with the 5.3L engine in 4×4 running gear is rated at 16 mpg city and 22 mpg highway.
The 2014 Silverado features revised front and rear suspension systems and wider wheels to provide a more comfortable ride and improved handling while new electric power steering reduces fuel consumption cuts road surface harshness thanks to the mechanical disassociation involved. Also new for 2014 is four wheel disc brakes with Duralife rotors that not only improve brake feel but potentially double the life of brake rotors on the Silverado.
The new truck is available with Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning with Active Safety Seat and Front and Rear Park Assist and all Silverados will include Stabilitrak with Trailer Sway Control and Hill Start Assist.
Chevrolet Silverado will eventually be offered in seven trim levels to include two work truck models as well as new range-topping High Country premium model. Crew Cab models will offer a longer 6'6" cargo box in addition the the 5'8" box and rear bumpers feature the new CornerStep step insert, a feature carried over from Avalanche models.
For model year 2014, Silverado base pricing has been carried over ($32,710 for the Crew Cab models currently available). Our Z71 4×4 LTZ tester arrived with a final sticker of just under 50 grand thanks to a host of add-ons including Driver Alert package (optional driver safety technologies), LTZ Plus package (power adjustable pedals, heated steering wheel and Bose premium audio system), Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system with 8-inch monitor and navigation, heated and cooled front seating with leather and more.
The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is certainly new (and improved) from hood to hitch and to put it simply is just plain good.

The Basics of Cannabis Outdoor Growing (Part 2)
We've already chosen a strain that matches our preferences and conditions, and found a good spot. Now it's time to think about indoor pre-vegetation, organic soils & fertilizers, and watering.
The first steps towards our common goal of large outdoor harvests for the upcoming season were already made. We've spent time to choose strains that match our personal preferences, and also the climatic conditions at our grow location. Now it's time to think about a way to give our seedlings a good start in life, and how to match their needs with organic soils and fertilizers. At the end of this blog, we're going to briefly talk about watering cannabis plants in general, and also about methods to overcome the watering issue of guerilla grows. If you've missed out on Part 1 covering the topics "choose the right strain" and "find a promising spot", you can go back by clicking here.
3. Indoor Pre-Vegetation
Even though we plan on growing our cannabis plants outdoors, there are some good reasons for us to start our seedlings indoors, and then moving them outdoors later on. If you're clueless on how to grow cannabis from seed to seedling in the first place, feel free to read this blog to get a rough idea: Rookie Guide: 3 Steps to Master the Seedling Stage
Reasons for starting plants indoors
- Temperature drops at night, frost, and storms can harm seedlings in spring (April & May)
- One can start a few extra seeds, and select only the strongest ones to move outdoors
- Full control of the environment, seedlings will get a head start
Problems associated with this method
- Moving cannabis plants from an 18/6 light cycle indoors, to 13 hours of natural daylight for instance, can shock the plant, resulting in slow growth
- The light intensity of the sun is way higher to any grow light
- A sudden change from low light intensity to direct sunlight will harm our plants (UV rays)
Solution: You'll simply expose your seedlings to the same amount of light hours they would normally receive outside, so closer to 14 than 18 hours. Each and every day, you can add a few minutes of light, imitating the actual sunrise and sunset you check online. When you have the chance, expose your seedlings to direct sunlight, and gradually increase the amount of sunlight per day.
4. Organic Soils And Fertilizers
Cannabis is a natural plant, and enough agricultural enterprises damage soils, groundwater, and biodiversity by producing crops with mineral based fertilizers, pesticides, and all kinds of chemicals we don't necessarily want to smoke. Organically produced buds will taste better, and future generations of growers also have the chance to practice this hobby – a classic win-win situation.
Buy high quality organic soils from the shop (easy)
- Basic rule when buying soils: Don't be cheap!
- You can choose between different levels of pre-added nutrition
- Buy soil with "light" or low nutrition, especially for seedlings
- Try not to buy all the fertilizers and additives that exist
Re-create and enrich commercially available soil (intermediate)
- Important for guerilla growers!
- Add slowly releasing organic "fertilizers" to your soil
- Key ingredient: Home-made compost
- Dolomite lime balances the pH value
- Eggshells for calcium, epsom salts for magnesium
- Bone meal, worm castings, guano, a fish (there are many different ways)
Create your own soil mix completely from scratch (advanced)
You're tired of paying a company to mix up your soil, and also not completely satisfied with the quality? Then learn how to mix your own soil by reading this blog: Create your own Soil Mix for Cannabis
5. Watering
Giving your plants the right amount of water is the best way to promote healthy growth. Many novice growers, and even the more experienced, tend to do overwater their plants. Guerilla growers, especially in warmer climates, often have a different problem – getting enough water to their plants.
Watering cannabis plants in general
- Get a feeling for the pot weight (completely dry, and after watering)
- One overly precise method would be to weigh your pots (dry and wet)
- Water small amounts, frequently, but also make sure some water drains through the whole pot from time to time, just a little bit though
The watering issue of guerilla grows
- Plant in walking distance (<30min) to a small river, lake or pond
- Add water-absorbing crystals or clay to your soil
- Buy "bottle adapters" for recycled plastic bottles (cheap automatic watering)

Spyderco Knives is one of our favorite manufacturers.
We have carried Spyderco knives almost from their beginning. I can remember when it was hard to sell the funny looking knives with pocket clips, one hand hole-opening, and serrated edges. The only buyers in the early years seemed to be Police and Rescue personnel, who recognized early on the advantages and innovations brought to the knife world by Sal Glesser, Spyderco's owner and inventor. In fact in the early years times were hard for Spyderco. Many times when we would place orders Sal Glesser himself would answer the phone to take them.
It took the world awhile, but recognition finally came, and about the time the Police, Endura, and Delica models hit the market, Spyderco was set to become the world recognized brand it is today. Now Sal Glesser is recognized as the innovative genius he always was, and the funny looking knives we found hard to sell are now one of the world's best selling knife brands.

Check out my latest Danger Zone interview with Chuck Jaffe of MarketWatch.com.
JPMorgan Trust II: JPMorgan Large Cap Growth Fund (OLGAX) is in the Danger Zone this week.
Per the figure below, 46% of the stocks in the large cap growth category get my Attractive or better ratings. Only 17% of the stocks are dangerous or worse. Here are more details on the Best & Worst Funds in in the large cap growth category.
This means that mutual fund managers have lots of great stocks to choose from when managing their portfolios. There are many more good stocks than bad stocks in the large cap growth category. For a mutual fund to get a Dangerous or worse rating in this category, the manager must heavily weight the fund's portfolio to the few bad stocks in the category.
And if that happens, then one must ask – why am I paying such high fees for a manager to put me in bad stocks, especially when there are so many other good stocks out there?
JPMorgan Trust II: JPMorgan Large Cap Growth Fund (OLGAX) is one of very few funds and a large portion of the 1% of Dangerous-rated AUM. And the fund's Total Annual Costs is 3.31% versus 0.22% for its benchmark: iShares Russell 1000 Growth (IWF). Those are some really high fees for portfolio management that does not add any value. More detail in free report on OLGAX.
Figure 1: Large-cap Growth Style Landscape For ETFs, Mutual Funds & Stocks
Sources: New Constructs, LLC and company filings
Only 4% of the mutual funds in the large cap growth category get a Dangerous Rating
Only 1% of the assets in the large cap growth category are in the Dangerous-rated mutual funds.
And one of OLGAX's top 5 holdings is Apple (AAPL), a stock I like and gets my Very Attractive Rating. Apple is in most ETFs and mutual funds. The problems with OLGAX is that too much of the rest of the fund's portfolio is in poor stocks.
Disclosure: I own AAPL. I receive no compensation to write about any specific stock, sector, style or theme.

#ForewordFriday: The Basics of Wildlife Law
By Erica Sánchez Vázquez / On October 18th, 2019
Wildlife is an important and cherished element of our natural heritage in the United States. But state and federal laws governing the ways we interact with wildlife can be complex to interpret and apply. Navigating this legal terrain is trickier than ever as habitat for wildlife shrinks, technology gives us new ways to seek out wildlife, and unwanted human-wildlife interactions occur more frequently, sometimes with alarming and tragic outcomes.

Entry #2
by Aimee Laine
The ground swelled from beneath sizzling, lava-coated earth. A keening moan silenced the chanting and sent a chill down my spine.
One hand—dirt-stained, blackened and tattered—pushed through the surface, clenching and releasing as if gasping for breath.
A scream built at the back of my throat, the stench of death and soaring temperatures burning the sensitive skin within.
Buzzing hums filled the space again, thousands singing out all at once.
My heart pounded in my chest. A harried screech of "No!" left blistered lips, the masses pressing me forward toward the bubbling hole.
With each step, death drew closer.
Perspiration snaked its way down my neck as a flame shot into the sky.
"I am not your sacrifice!" I pivoted left, racing down the length of the pulsing crowd, seeking even the most remote escape. Hands grappled for me, tearing at the last remnants of draping silk.
Scrambling backward, I slipped through the first wall of people.
That layer netted another.
A third pushed me forward in reverse.
At the fourth, I fell to my knees.
Hooves rumbled the earth, a white stallion breaking through the crowd. The rider's hand reached for me and I him. Our connection made, I yanked him from the saddle.
Dazed blue eyes stared back at me from the ground. "But I'm the—here to save—"
My horse pawed the ground, whinnying as I mounted him.
"They only need one. This time, it's your turn."

OH, DANG, sorry white knight, you got burned! (ha)
The strong, independent woman takes the day. Lovely (well, not for him) twist. I really enjoyed this. - July 14, 2011 11:27 AM
- Precie said...
Love the last line. Interesting twist, indeed. And great vivid description.
- July 14, 2011 12:18 PM
I love the womanly strength in there - in the story and the writing.
- July 14, 2011 2:11 PM

Never underestimate the power of a desperate woman. Great twist.
- July 14, 2011 2:25 PM

@Kelly : Thank you! I loved that it made you laugh!
@Joni : Yeah, sometimes the price has an #epicfail <-- as my son says.
@Precie : Thank you!
@Cath : I hoped the strength would show! Yeah!
@Katherine : Exactly! Never underestimate. :) - July 14, 2011 5:40 PM

Nice reversal on the knight in shining armor:)
- July 14, 2011 7:25 PM
- Michele Zugnoni said...
Wow. That was just awesome. You packed such a punch in so few words. The beginning was seeped in suspense, but the irony at the end brought it home. I loved your character's attitude, too.
Thanks for sharing! - July 14, 2011 9:07 PM
- Aimee Laine said...
@Jade : Thank you! Just couldn't be cliche in this one ;)
@Mikki : Thanks! I wanted her to be tough and fight her way out. No way would she let Prince Charming get the credit for her escape. :) - July 14, 2011 10:01 PM
- Aniket Thakkar said...
Aimee! What has gotten into you!
I remember your piece about the kid sitting on the backseat in the car. And then you slip this one by me.
I thought it'll be a feel good piece and then you threw in that ending. I guess, I was more shocked coz I've read quite a few of your pieces and was surely not expecting this. #FTW as some of my "younger" friends would say. :)
I love it when good girls turn bad. *wink wink* - July 14, 2011 11:50 PM
- fairyhedgehog said...
And I was feeling so sorry for the main character! Nice twist!
- July 15, 2011 2:08 AM
You don't need a knight in shining armor; you just need his horse.
Excellent twist at the end. I chuckled. - July 15, 2011 8:45 AM
- Aimee Laine said...
@Aniket ; I KNOW! Totally not 'me', right? The end just had to happen like that though. I mean, it was born to be not a typical happily ever after. Couldn't write it any other way! :) :)
@fairyhedgehog : I LOVE knowing you were feeling sorry for her ... don't women surprise everyone in the end? ;)
@Catrina : Now we know who the truly loyal one is. ;) heehehehe :) - July 15, 2011 1:30 PM
- Craig said...
Loved it! Now we know why chivalry is dead ;-)
- July 16, 2011 12:28 AM
- PJD said...
I guess I wasn't surprised by the twist because you announced it in the title. I will say, however, that we should not be so distracted by the twist that we miss how well written the descriptions are that lead up to it. Can't sell a punchline without a good buildup, and this has a good buildup. - July 16, 2011 7:10 PM
- Aimee Laine said...
@Craig : Thank you! And there you go! Now you know! ;)
@Peter : Thank you very much for the wonderful compliment on the writing! :) - July 16, 2011 9:56 PM

Gotta love a twisted fairytale! :)

Oh! @Wendy! You and I posted at the same exact time. :) Many thank yous for loving a twisted fairytale! :)

LOL! I love the twisted ending on this 'twisted fairytale' (indeed). Wonderful Aimee!

Great idea! Love the ending, of course. :) Perfect build up to an unexpected result! ~jana
- July 17, 2011 2:54 PM

@Catvibe : Thank you! Was fun spinning the traditional tale in a different way. ;)
@bluesugarpoet : Thank you! I love the ending, too! :) hehehehehe - July 17, 2011 7:35 PM

White saving knight? Not so much! Loved "But I'm the-here to save-..." I guess not!
Dottie :) - July 17, 2011 7:35 PM
- Chris Alliniotte said...
Fantastic take. I love the firm, sudden switch from victim to sacrifice(-er??)
Fairy tale is right. Well done. - July 18, 2011 8:52 AM
- SzélsőFa said...
after having read the comments i re-read the entry and it all came clear. nice wording, and what an unexpected, funny twist :)
- July 18, 2011 9:03 AM
- Aimee Laine said...
@Dottie : I love that line, too. I really wanted him to believe he is what he is and for us to know what he is supposed to be without saying it. :)
@Chris : sacrifice(r) ... absolutely!
@SzelsoFa : Thank you! - July 18, 2011 1:49 PM
- JaneyV said...
What a cow! I was feeling all sorry for her and then she totally showed her true colours. A painful death in a fiery volcano is too good for her!
Aimee, you did a great job in sucking us in to this character's desperation. I love her feistiness and determination to survive. And the ending is a beauty. - July 18, 2011 3:53 PM
- Old Kitty said...
Wow! So much action and I really felt for the mc here - good grief, I'm breathless!! Lovely story, thank you for sharing, take care x
- July 18, 2011 6:21 PM
- Michael Morse said...
Fate, saviors, victims, angry mob, human sacrifice and deception all in one fantastic package! Well done, I truly enjoyed this.
- July 18, 2011 6:54 PM
- Jodi MacArthur said...
Well, I guess the dashing prince saved the virgin, just not the way he intended. (Roar! Gulp!)
Fun twist, and I enjoyed how you implied the story by the descriptions. - July 18, 2011 9:26 PM
- Aimee Laine said...
@JaneyV: Haaaaaahahahaha Cow? LOL That's a first and yeah you could see it like that. Heehehehe I think the princess is just tired of always waiting to the last minute! :)
@Old Kitty: Thank you so much! I sorta like that I made you breathless! :)
@Michael Morse: Yup, ALL of those! Glad you enjoyed it!
@Jodi MacArthur: Yep ... some 'male' still saved her. Had to keep the horse in that 'role'. :) Thanks so much! - July 18, 2011 9:42 PM
- Richard Levangie said...
My first time here, Aimee... I enjoyed your dramatic, evocative scenario and the twisted ending. Thanks!
- July 19, 2011 7:59 AM
- Lisa Gail Green said...
Love the twist on the fairy tale ending! Poor dumb knight. LOL. Nicely done! I felt her desperation.
- July 19, 2011 10:12 PM
- Guilie Castillo said...
This was beautiful!!! Wonderful take on the fairytale ending. You had me a bit lost there at the beginning with the lava and the smell and the crowd, but the pace picked up, and I was chuckling at the last line. Great job!
- July 19, 2011 11:17 PM
- C. Sonberg Larson said...
I really like this. You're really put the reader in the scene with the great imagery. You really feel for her, then its "Oh, thank God," then it's, "Holy crap! No way" Great ride.
- July 20, 2011 2:31 PM
- Aimee Laine said...
@Lisa Gail : Thank you! :) I was hoping her desperation would come though.
@Guilie : Thank you! :) That line made me laugh too so it was a keeper!
@ C Sonberg : Thank you! Glad you had a good ride. :) - July 20, 2011 4:13 PM
- Jay R. Thurston said...
Great descriptions throughout... namely her plight to escape. Losing momentum through the waves of a resistant crowd was well delivered. I too enjoyed the twist at the end. Nice one!
- July 21, 2011 8:29 AM
- Sarah Hina said...
You really know how to build a scene, Aimee. I enjoyed this thoroughly. The ending was perfect!
- July 21, 2011 4:27 PM
- Aimee Laine said...
@Jay R: thank you!
@Sarah: Thank you very much. :) - July 21, 2011 8:35 PM
- Hilaryr said...
Twists in the tail can so often be a bit contrived but this one is excellent. I hope you do well
H - July 23, 2011 11:26 AM
- L.A Speedwing said...
Ah the shining armour is female at long last! Clever ending. In a few words, you twisted it.
- July 23, 2011 6:04 PM
- Unknown said...
The short paragraphs create a sense of suspense and a feeling of how difficult it is for her to escape. It's a tough world she finds herself in, but she seems to have the right attitude.
- July 23, 2011 7:32 PM
- Aimee Laine said...
@hilary : Thank you! Glad it wasn't 'the usual' :)
@L.A. : hehehehe I love that it's clever!
@Aidan : I love her attitude. :) Thanks for getting the feel. That was my intent! - July 23, 2011 10:40 PM
- B. Nagel said...
Nice scene-building and good twist. This was really fun!
- July 25, 2011 3:24 PM
I'm having heart palpitations because for once I disagree with Janey. She was not a cow, she was a person - and seriously, how many guys would really ride in on a white horse anyway? Sure, I wish she'd let him stay on the horse. Sure, I'd hope that he was gorgeous and sensitive and talked his way out and came to find her because he fell in love with how strong she is. Sure, I love ripping silk.
Wait, I've lost my train of thought.
Nicely done. - July 25, 2011 5:11 PM
- Aimee Laine said...
@B. Nagel : thank you! :)
@Aerin : hehehehe she did what she needed to do to survive. :) Glad I could put you into her world for a minute. :) - July 25, 2011 7:52 PM
Now there's some serious pragmatism. Survival wins out. Very good writing!
Congrats on Forties Club! - July 28, 2011 8:57 PM

Sewer Problems (Sanitary Sewers)
2638 E Dekist ST
- Case Date:
- 2/8/2019
Yesterday, during the huge mid-day rainstorm, water came up through the floor drain in our basement at 2638 East Dekist Street. It had a sewage odor and was muddy looking and reached a level of about 4 inches, covering the entire floor and soaking everything. The basement toilet also had dirty water come into it. I called the city utilities hotline and reported the incident twice, speaking to the same person each time. The water receded after a couple hours. We have yet to assess the damage and start to clean up. Last year on 2/11/18 our basement toilet erupted (see case #163027). We had a plumber verify that the city sewer was the source of the issue. We did not claim any damages, yet the city did not reimburse us the cost of the plumbing assessment. We would appreciate someone responding to this current incident.
