Piers Plowright and Marie-Elsa Bragg in discussion about her novel
Local author Marie-Elsa Bragg's debut novel, Towards Mellbreak, is a hymn both to the landscape of Cumbria and to a disappearing world. Poetic, beautiful and tragic, it gives an account of the struggle to preserve traditions and beliefs in the face of change. It is a quietly bold indictment of the treatment of generations of British men, and an assertion of the power to be found in the rituals we pass down through our families. Marie-Elsa Bragg will be in conversation with radio producer Piers Plowright.
Marie-Elsa Bragg is half French, half Cumbrian and was brought up in London. She studied Philosophy and Theology at Oxford University, and trained for the Priesthood at Ripon College Cuddesdon, Oxford University. She is a Priest in the diocese of London, an Ignatian spiritual director, a therapist and a Duty Chaplain of Westminster Abbey.
Piers Plowright worked for thirty years as a BBC producer of dramas, documentaries and features before setting out as an independent producer. He has won several SONY Awards, and three of radio's most significant award, the Prix Italia. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.

Speeding Tickets
Red Light Tickets
Traffic School
DMV Matters & Issues
In 2014, I successfully represented our client in the California Supreme Court in People v. Gray (2014) 58 Cal.4th 901 in an automated photograph red light ticket matter. If you've been ticketed for running a red light, it is important to seek out proper legal guidance as soon as possible. While it may seem like an innocent and harmless offense, running a red light here in the state of California can cause a great deal of trouble for either you or the other drivers on the roadway; and I'm not even talking about the traffic fines associated with running a red light if you get caught, which are some of the highest in the nation. And if you are facing fines, points on your license, or traffic school, it is important that you receive the assistance of a qualified California Traffic Ticket Attorney right away; and that's where the services of 866speeding.com come in. We've been faithfully serving our community for nearly 40 years now, and we will continue to do so well into the future.
Aside from possibly causing an accident and injury to yourself or another, there are typically other traffic violations added on to those who are cited for running a red light. Common charges that often go along with the offense of running a red light include speeding, failure to use a turn signal and possibly even reckless driving, all of which can cost you some major points on your driver's license if you are convicted in traffic court. That is why it is so important to be aware of your rights if you have been pulled over for anything, even something as simple as running a red light.
There are a number of advantages to having a California Traffic Ticket Attorney on your side. First of all, we will make sure that you are aware of your rights, and that you understand the offense that you are accused of committing; even with something as simple as a red light traffic ticket, there may be some terms and language used that is confusing to most people and this is why most people find themselves in trouble in the end. After we are positive that you fully understand the case, we will work towards defending your rights in a California traffic court. And in many cases we can even have all of the charges dropped altogether; this is demonstrated in our 86.57% case dismissal rate, and is backed up with our extensive list of actual court case victories.
If you are in need of legal assistance for a ticket that stems from running a red light, or any other traffic violation in the state of California for that matter, 866speeding.com will make sure that you find the help you deserve in the form of representation from a qualified California Traffic Ticket Attorney. You can call us for a free consultation at 866-Speeding, or you can fill out the Free Evaluation form found here on our website for maximum convenience.

We have nearly 40 years experience throughout all of the California court systems, and our high success rate has earned us a reputation that other law firms could only dream about. Act now before it's too late and you end up having to pay out some serious cash to the California Department of Motor Vehicles.

Mr. Ellison has been practicing law since 1970. Mr. Ellison is a trial attorney who exclusively practices Traffic Ticket and criminal defense. Mr. Ellison has been admitted to and practiced in all United States District Courts within California, Hawaii and Oregon; the United States Supreme Court; the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and Eighth Circuit; and all of the courts in the state of California Court system.

NEGLIGENT OPERATOR Proceedings -- Vehicle Code section 12810 -- Can cause [a] your driving privilege to be suspended or restricted and/or[b] for the DMV to place you on Probation, which would mean that any traffic ticket or accident after being placed on probation could be a basis of suspending or restricting your driving privilege. If you have either [a] 4-points in a 12-month period, [b] 6-points in a 24-month period or [c] 8-points in a 36 month period on your DMV record, the DMV will deem you a "Negligent Operator". YOU ARE ENTITLED TO HEARING to contest that determination.
Sherman's experience shows that there are many ways to contest and win these proceedings, including getting 1 or more of your previous convictions set aside.
MATURE, ELDERLY or INFIRM DRIVERS are subject to "Re-Examination" to determine if you can safely operate a motor vehicle pursuant to Vehicle Code sections 12804.8, 12804.9, 12805, 12806 and 12809. Your vision, medical condition(s), knowledge of the driving law and ability to safely operate a motor vehicle can be tested by the DMV.
There are many things that you can do to be able to keep your driving privilege. I have represented clients in numerous proceedings and, on behalf of my clients, have prevailed in and won every hearing with the DMV. I work with your doctor(s), if necessary, with driver's training programs and assist you to keep [or get back] your driving privilege
Sherman M. Ellison has been a practicing trial attorney in California for over 44 years. In that regard, he has also been a "Judge Pro Tem", sitting as a Traffic Judge for a number of years. To comport as a traffic judge, Mr. Ellison received the same training to be a traffic judge as permanently sitting traffic judges and traffic commissioners. "I have the same Judge's Traffic Manual in my library as do traffic judges/commissioners."
During my tenure as a traffic judge, Mr. Ellison and I had spoken to numerous radar and laser operating police/law enforcement officers and had learned much about their use of radar and laser to enforce the speed laws.

Oh. My. God. I'm not surprised, but it still makes me just as sick as the first beheading I saw. I wish people understood that this is evil, pure & simple. If given a choice, they'd rather saw your head off rather than negotiate as you say. I hope that boy burns in hell for all of eternity, as well as those who brought him into this crap.

Between Long Keng and O Tau, off Sai Sha Road, a developer is trashing many acres that were once woodland and wetland. It used to be that every kind of wild or semi-wild creature could be seen there: feral cattle, pigs, butterflies, birds, frogs and a python named Monty. The developer moved in mechanical diggers to clear the area and entertain the villagers with bangs, thumps and the screaming of engines. Monty tried to escape by crossing the road. No more Monty.
As previously reported in SAI KUNG BUZZ Long Keng resident Herve Bouvresse, a French kick boxer and local politician, acquired a set of business plans that the developers were using to to pull in other investors. It showed the developers hoped to build as many as 60 houses on the former woodlands and wetlands. The columns of figures showed they aim for total sales of about $1.5 billion and profits of as much as $900 million.
Here's a video presentation of this story:
Now we turn this space over to Jonathan Zeal, Herve's next door neighbour and also an anti-development campaigner:
By Jonathan Zeal
We are in a really tough spot as we face defeat against a ruthless developer in Sai Kung…so are seeking ideas and assistance.
Over the last 10 years we (the villagers of Long Keng) have been fighting a battle with an individual or individuals who are determined to build a mass of housing in our as yet undeveloped valley near Long Keng/O Tau, off Sai Sha Road.
Attached are two photos – a Before and After. "After" being today. A mass of fencing was erected across the valley last week and today an excavator has started groundwork to link the two sides up with an illegal road. The land this road will go across is partially village land (some of which the developer has acquired) and partially GB/V land. It will link up with an area that is zoned as V and on which some approved development of small houses has been going on over the last two years.
The Outline Zoning Plan for the area specifically states that as a wetland, much of this area is not suitable for development…
Herve Bouvresse, our Non-Indigenous Village Rep, has called on the Police, the Lands Dept and Planning Dept to assist and they have – as expected – done so with little effect. The Planning Dept conducted a site visit recently and stated that although some of the access is clearly illegal and they have been processing a case against the landowner, they only have the power of "soft enforcement" (which the developer is ignoring).
The irony is that the landowner of some of this access route who is facing prosecution (a member of an old Chinese family who lives in the UK) is supporting us and has been told by the authorities to ensure his land is not used for illegal development. The developer is encroaching on his land (with some intimidation, we believe) to continue this road development. The landowner does not have the resources to fence it, so instead will probably have to surrender (sell) it to the developer.
Does anyone have any advice as to how we can further escalate this situation to the authorities? Is there anyone in any Govt Dept who would actually tackle this quickly – or are we facing a lost cause?

Primary School Project
In 2003 we founded in La Bastilla Farm a small school for the children of our employees, with 2 primary school teachers, as the closest official school was 6 kilometres away. Little by little the farm's neighbours became interested in a formal school and when we conducted a survey there was a demand to send 165 children to our school. Together with the Jacobs Foundation from Switzerland, we entered into an agreement with the Ministry of Education and we built a new school in which today there are more than 200 students in all the grades from pre-school, primary through to secondary.
The financing of this novel project was made possible thanks to donations from:

text: Hi! New to the community here and hoping to get some tips on this camera I picked up. It is a Kodak "No. 3 Folding Pocket Kodak Model A" according to the film back. The lens says "Carl Zeiss Jena No 48294 Protar 1:8 F=136mm D.R.P. 56109". I would like to figure out how to use it but I cannot find much info anywhere about it. The most confusing part is that the aperture goes from 17-12-8-6-4-3 with dots in between but the larger numbers are wider than the smaller ones. Any help or comments are appreciated!

Bangkok Medical Museum
Bangkok Medical Musem approx. 20 000 annual visitors
Bangkok Medical Museum was originally a meeting place for medical students in Bangkok. The museum has become known for its nasty photographs from homicide and accidents. This museum is nothing you should visit if you have difficulty seeing the "nasty" stuff says the museum director.
The museum brings out the dark side of Thailand and portrays it in a way that is far away from the swaying palm trees and long sandy beaches with a drink in hand.
You can find mummified serial killers, deformed foetuses, split up human heads and more .. The museum is a magnificent combination of supernaturtal tradition and Buddhist compassion.

An acquaintance of mine recently returned from a trip to Thailand. He was there to visit religious shrines, but the natives didn't seem to understand that. Everywhere he went, he was accosted by young men offering him sex for money. Apparently, a whole industry has sprung up around catering to American men who have a thing for Asian boys. My friend—tall, fiftyish, very white—fit the profile perfectly. Except for his complete lack of interest in what these boys were selling.
But that didn't stop them. In certain enclaves, it seems, the gay tourist is as much prey as predator. "My backside is wanting you too much," one boy told my friend in broken English. "I have condom." How romantic.
As I listened to the story, it occurred to me that my friend Clay would have had a much better time on that trip. Clay freely admits that he's a rice queen. "They're so much prettier," he says of Asian men, in the same tone he would use to pick out a Pekingese at the SPCA. Something about the shape of the eyes, he says, or the dark straight hair.
That used to be his story, at least. Time after time, I'd watch him at the bar, scoping out his next conquest. He was an equal opportunity sexual imperialist: any Asian would do—Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipino. I'm not sure Clay could even tell the difference, despite having lived in the Bay Area for close to a decade.
One evening, he set his sights on Daniel, a handsome man of Korean descent—shortish but somewhat lanky, with a charming smile. Clay's typical m.o. was to sidle up to the object of interest and try to engage him in whatever conversation we were having. I was the wingman: my job was to get a threeway conversation started and then quietly withdraw. We nabbed Daniel with a comment on the lame videos playing on the oversized screens at the bar. The three of us chatted for a while, Daniel revealing himself to be rather intriguing (a business student with an interest in opera) but Clay kept turning the conversation back to the mundane—where he lived, whether he had roommates—regularly punctuating his remarks by dropping a hand against Daniel's arm. Eventually, I played my part, heading to the bar for another beer. By the time I returned to our corner, they were both gone. Another successful evening at the Midnight Sun! My work there was through.
But Clay's was just beginning. As I learned in a frantic phone call the next morning, things did not go as planned.
"He's a top!" Clay hissed into the phone.
I was still half asleep. "So?"
"Well, I didn't expect him to be a top. I'm a top! You know that."
I knew it all too well. Clay was fond of working it into every conversation, the way lawyers never fail to mention that they're lawyers.
Apparently, they had spent the first fifteen minutes in bed wrestling. Clay has often claimed not to care (or always notice) how well endowed his dates are, since they're usually face-down on the mattress for the duration. When Daniel failed to give in so easily, Clay was at a loss.
"I didn't expect him to be a top," he said now. I was waking up.
"Why not?"
"Well. …" The syllable dissolved into the wire.
"No, you didn't," I said.
"Look," he said after a pause, "if I were into being a bottom, I'd date black guys."
"No, you didn't," I repeated.
I shouldn't have been surprised. No, to be honest, I wasn't surprised; I just pretended to be to avoid embarrassing him further.
Clearly, Clay's obsession with Asian men had more to do with stereotypes than aesthetics. Long ago, the image of the submissive Asian female had worked its way into the gay world, as well, with the notion that Asian men were somehow less threatening than their white counterparts. I remember first becoming aware of this phenomenon with the play M Butterfly. Immediately, I was struck by the absurdity of the story: that this white man could live with his lover for so long and not realize that she was really a he. (If you've ever had sex with a woman, it's not likely that you'll ever mistake the anus for a vagina, but maybe I'm splitting hairs.) To me, it was obvious that he was in denial, a state of willful ignorance: because his lover was Asian, he subconsciously reasoned, he wasn't quite fully male. And if his lover wasn't male, then the white guy didn't have to confront his own homosexuality.
Not that Clay is in denial about his sexuality. His ass, maybe, but not his sexuality.
I've always felt that one of the great things about being gay is that it makes it hard to look upon your lover as an other. I've never shared the average woman's aversion to being treated as a sex object—because in a same-sex context, both people are objects, and both are subjects. It's when we look upon our sex partner as an other that we get into trouble—the same trouble that the straight world has promulgated for centuries.
The rent boys of Thailand certainly seem to have caught on. Clay would have had no surprises there, no need to look upon his partner as an equal.
If there is a sin in prostitution, it's that: the tendency to look upon the payee as less than the payer. But haven't men looked down on their wives similarly since the dawn of time? Isn't that what the straight man's fear of penetration is really all about? At least the prostitute gets paid for the privilege.

Leaning back in my chair I look up and see a beautiful bird struggling to fly southward against the strong, gusty winds blowing across the lake. It has kept up the hopeless pursuit for hours as it makes longer and wider circles to build speed. Turning again to face the wind, it hangs as if suspended from the heavens, wings flapping in vain. I watch as it returns to the tree on the bank where another bird sits watching the great effort.
The birds sit with their heads close together as if planning their strategy against the blustery weather. Soon they both take to the air. Soaring northward, the wind is under their wings and they glide effortlessly. Circling, they face the strong currents. Unable to make any headway, they return to the tree discouraged but not defeated. I sit until evening. The intense winds have turned into gentle breezes and the birds victoriously wing their way to whatever southbound destination they are so determined to reach.
Standing beside the lake where the water kisses the shore, I search the horizon for one last glimpse of the birds. In spite of the windstorm, they are gone. I bow my head thinking of the storms in my own life that do more than ruffle my feathers. Just as He did for the birds, God makes a way through for me. I toss a pebble into the lake water, then lift my hands toward Heaven and praise The Lord. He gives power to rise above whatever life may bring against me when I set my mind and belief upon Him.
I return to my lounge chair on the shore, fluff my pillow behind my back and relax. Gentle breezes like the breath of God caress my face and whisper in my ear. I thank Him that the storms that bring sickness, failure, tragedy and disappointment do not have to overcome. He lifts me and I move forward even stronger than before.
"They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall walk and not be weary, they shall run and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31)

A short post about cheese
November 26, 2014 Leave a comment
Cheese – yes cheese. Is there a better food than cheese? I doubt it. I mean, what about Camembert and Brie? Two soft cheeses that just melt in your mouth. And what about very mature cheddar cheese? Does this not cover the tastebuds with instant joy, especially when accompanied by a nice red wine that facilitates its transfer from dairy product to gorgeous sensory experience? In fact the thing about cheese is that it is a global phenomenon – they make it all over the world. Don't forget Danish Blue! Norwegian Blue, Leerdammer, holey Swiss cheese – Wonderful!
In fact, I reckon I could spend a whole holiday just in France tasting cheese – granted, it might give me a heart attack, but I can counter that with a balancing dose of red wine, so no need to panic!
I could go and name hundreds of cheeses, but what's the point?
Eat more cheese! It comes highly recommended – by me…

Professionals use computerized wheel balancers to pinpoint weight differentiation within a tire and wheel assembly. Computerized wheel balancers are highly accurate machines that identify the weight distribution problem areas within an assembly. Ideally, a tire and its wheel should complement one-another, with both maintaining an equal amount of weight throughout the assembly. In a perfect assembly, air will be even throughout the tire, and the wheel will be perfectly round in shape. However, tires and wheels are nearly never perfect. In fact, some tire manufacturers mark the lightest part of a tire so that drivers can easily match it to the heaviest part of the wheel. Both time and normal tire and wheel usage will also gradually add imbalance to a tire and wheel assembly's weight distribution. The smallest difference in weight within an assembly can cause a great amount of damage and annoyance. A computerized wheel balancing service will return the balance of your car or truck's wheels to factory specifications.
Tire and wheel assemblies are prone to various weight discrepancies that can cause a multitude of problems for motorists. If you experience vibrations in your vehicle, hear squeals from your tires, or feel your vehicle pulling in one direction, then one or more of your tire and wheel assemblies may be in need of rebalancing. Fortunately, our staff is here to help with all your balancing needs. During this process, our experts will mount your wheel on the computerized wheel balancing machine and spin it. Acting upon the information we receive from our computerized wheel balancing equipment, our service staff will apply additional weight to the indicated areas in order to alleviate vibrations and help the assembly roll more smoothly. With your tires and wheels properly balanced, you can enjoy an overall smoother ride, greater control, and longer lasting tires.
We proudly service the Computerized Wheel Balancing needs of customers in St. John, IN, Dyer, IN, Schererville, IN, and surrounding areas.

Fieldsend is all-the-way winner of PGA Assistants' title
Matthew Fieldsend held his nerve to complete a wire-to-wire victory in the Galvin Green PGA Assistants' Championship – none more so than on the final hole at Coxmoor Golf Club.
Faced with an eight-foot putt to join a list of winners that includes former Open champion Tony Jacklin, Fieldsen could have been haunted by his previous visits to the hole.
"I had similar putts on the first two days," he recalled. "I missed them both and ended up with a bogey both times."
This time the putt dropped and the 24-year-old, who is attached to Drayton Park Golf Club in Staffordshire, was £5,000 richer and facing an exciting year.
As well as pocketing a prize that will help finance his sorties on the PGA Europro Tour, the victory has earned Fieldsend entry into the end-of-season PGA Play-offs and the Australian PGA Futures Championship.
In addition, he will be able to choose a complete golfing wardrobe selected during a visit to Galvin Green's UK showroom.
All of which would have been put in serious jeopardy had he failed to negotiate the 18th in par for a one-over round of 72 and a one-under par total of 212 for the 54 holes.
A third successive bogey at the 500 yard-plus par four hole which proved the nemesis for many competitors during the three days would have resulted in a three-way play-off also involving Stuart Davis and Elliott Groves.
Davis, a former European Tour player who is attached to Wollaton Park, Nottingham, was left to rue missing a short putt on the par three 17th that took him back to level par for the tournament. Similarly Romsey Golf Club's Groves bogeyed the hole to squander a potential winning position.
Jamie Howarth, level on one-under with Fieldsen going up the last, also had good cause to ponder what might have been after his escape from a greenside bunker stopped well short of the hole and he three-putted.
It was not just on the 18th, however, where Fieldsend kept his cool.
"It was difficult not to look at the leaderboards," he admitted. "My name had been at the top of them for the majority of the first two rounds, so that created a little bit of pressure."
Having gone into the final round nursing a one-shot lead over his rivals, that pressure appeared to be building up a powerful head of steam come the 13th hole.
Fieldsend arrived there on four-over for the round courtesy of a double bogey at the par-three seventh and single ones at nine and 12.
"I knew I was only two back at that stage," he reflected, "And I'd felt comfortable on the last six holes all week, although the final two are the trickiest I've encountered for a long time, especially in the wind we've had this week."
Buoyed by that experience, Fieldsen birdied three of the next four holes and then negotiated the final two holes in regulation to secure the biggest win of his short career.
Thomas Higson (Gleneagles) came through with a final round of one-over-par 72 to finish as the leading Scot in joint 11th place with an aggregate of 218. He earned £600 for scores of 72, 74 and 72.
Rodger Clarke (Golf Dedication Centre) and Steven O'Hara tied for 16th place on 219. Clarke shot 71-74-74 while O'Hara had scores of 70-73-76. Each earned £414.
Graeme McDougall (Elie Links) had a bad final day with a round of 79 dropping him to a T42 final position on 228. His earlier scores were 73 and 76. He earned £197.
Par 213 (3x71)
212 Matthew Fieldsend (Drayton Park) 69 71 72 (£5,000).
213 Stuart Davis (Ormonde Fields) 73 70 70, Elliot Groves (Romsey) 74 68 71 (£2,600 each).
218 Thomas Higson (Gleneagles) 72 74 72 (T11) (£600).
219 Rodger Clarke (Golf Dedication Centre) 71 74 74, Steven O'Hara (North Lanarkshire Leisure) 70 73 76 (T16) (£414 each).
228 Graeme McDougall (Elie Links) 73 76 79 (T42) (£197).

It's been awhile since the remote team at Endzone.io have got together IRL / AFK (in real life / away from keyboard…in person) so I think everyone was excited about the prospect of three whole weeks in a Coworking, Co-living environment. Right?
We decided on Bansko, a small mountain town in Bulgaria for our meet up. This was largely driven by the existence of Coworking Bansko, a great working space with a community feel. Also, Bulgaria is on the way from Australia to Scotland for Barry and Simone, right?
Being in the 'office' has made work motivating and efficient. Productivity is high. The community feel has made the social stuff we try to incorporate on these meet ups really easy. There's lots of advice on life in general in the town so settling into our apartment and the domesticity that goes with it has also been smooth.
We've got a nice routine going. Every morning some of us get up for a run and a short work out in the park. Simone can now do four pull ups in a row.
Every morning we also have a team meeting. This varies between sharing knowledge, talking about the future of Endzone.io, how we all feel in our roles, discussing short, medium and long term goals. We hardly ever get to do this when we're all in our own spaces busy working so it's useful to have a chance to talk about the strategic part of the business. Because of the time difference between Bulgaria and the UK we can easily fit this in before client work ramps up for the day.
We head to Coworking Bansko for the bulk of the working day. We get stuff done, chat with other members, lunch, hang out by the water cooler. There's a pizza place next door. They knock on the wall when our order is ready. There's a café on the corner that sells us croissants with fake Nutella for less than 50p. There's a restaurant around the corner which has a lunch menu from €2. We're making use of the presentation space too.
It's not all work and no play though.
Barry and Simone went to a fish restaurant by a dam with the owners of Coworking Bankso. The team go out on the town for dinner. The restaurants in Bansko are cheap. Even the expensive ones seem reasonable for those of us who normally live in expensive countries.
We've been to the Izgreva Hot Springs mineral pools in a nearby town. Hours of relaxation in warm water with views of the mountains.
Friday night drinks exist here. Thanks Wine Bar 25 and other Coworking people. We're pretty sure that Filipe loves The Club too. The rest of us can claim we don't even know where it is.
Simone went hiking with Dzaja (Jaiya, Ondrej's girlfriend joined us for a couple of days) in the Pirin Mountains above town. Simone went to work after that, of course.
On our first weekend in Bulgaria we all got up eager for a day in the Rila Mountains (even Filipe, nursing a hangover from The Club). We drove our hire car 2.5 hours to another mountain range, aiming for the 7 Rila Lakes. Usually, there's a ski chair lift which still runs in the summer, ferrying hikers higher up the mountain. On Saturday, high winds shut that old chair lift down. Enter the four-wheel drive jeep drivers. We thought it was a bit steep but the wild ride high up the mountain made us feel we got our money's worth. Maybe not Filipe. He almost fell out the back and then landed in Ondrej's lap.
We started our hike at about 2100 metres. We didn't climb long before we hit the snow line. Luckily we were all appropriately dressed…
It was a warm day so we ploughed on through the snow drifts, getting higher and higher. The three-hour circuit took us to five of the seven Rila Lakes.
We were keen to keep going higher but the snow got deeper and deeper and the weather looked like it was coming in a bit so we took the sensible route back to the chair lift area. We had a great time tramping across the snow, crossing rivers, practically wading through swampy land. Our feet were soaked but we were happy.
Even happier when we found that the chair lift was back up and running by the time we finished hiking. All part of the adventure.
We treated ourselves to a soak in the hot springs on the way back to Bansko.
So far, we feel that this is shaping up to be our most successful meet up. Hard work, followed by hard play.
Oh, yeah. We're getting massages too.

At the beginning of the week tuesday we took My wife of 42 years Bronwen in for her scheduled operation to her spine.The surgeons removed quite a bit of bone structure that was pinching on her nerves, causing her years of very bad pain. She lost three inches in height over the last decade she was actually given two operations in two areas and had a cyst removed she actually higher up has two cysts but they could only remove one, without compromising her spine and ability to walk in the future, as she aould have had to have a load of rods fitted.She actually was told they would do only the smaller of the operations as the one higher up was too much for her at 66 years of age but becuse she had scarring and lung function of around only 55% while she was anaesthatised they went for the two ops.So she, apart from obvious pain is doing very well considering all she has been through .I appreciate your kind words and thoughts and anyones prayers.I have a lot of time for you guys and am very aware of the camaraderie here and long term frienship I have been fortunate enough to have received over a long number of years here God bless and I am one very happy husband today.

Snakes and Ladders is an ancient Indian board game regarded today as a worldwide classic. It is played between two or more players on a game-board having numbered, gridded squares. A number of "ladders" and "snakes" are
pictured on the board, each connecting two specific board squares. The object of the game is to navigate one's game piece, according to dice rolls, from the start (bottom square) to the finish (top square), helped or
hindered by ladders and snakes respectively.
Historically the game has its roots in morality lessons, where a player's progression up the board represents a life journey complicated by virtues (ladders) and vices (snakes). This lends layers to it which imbibe in the player the values of morality and the benefits of virtues and the ill effects of evil. It also stands to show the uncertainty and the inevitability of life. It imbibes valuable lessons like life is not always fair and that patience and persistence are the key to success. The game is very efficient in doing so with such playfulness that the player subconsciously starts relating life instances with the game. This is one of the key reasons for choosing Snakes and Ladders. Its simplicity and playfulness is what has been captured in this set of works. .

Time for some comedy.
Aunty Jack was a cult Australian TV series that originally aired in the early 1970s. The series was created by Grahame Bond and Rory O'Donoghue, it featured Sandra McGregor and John Derum, in the first series, and introduced Gary McDonald in the Second series. The show was set in Bond's hometown of Wollongong and is still holds cult status amongst fans.
Farewell Aunty Jack was originally released as the closing theme song from the 1972 – 73 Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) TV series The Aunty Jack Show, as a single in 1973, and was included on the 1974 album Aunty Jack Sings Wollongong. It involves Thin Arthur sing a farewell to Aunty Jack with Aunty Jack making humourous quips to Thin Arthur and to the listeners. This is the album version where Aunty Jack threatens to Rip yer bloody arms off if you don't tune in to the show next week (in the single version she threatens to jump through your speakers and rip yer bloody arms off if you don't listen to the song real close) and includes an excerpt of Nagasaki Blues, the following and final track on the album, where another record falls on top the the characters, Aunty Jack goes on to that record and meets Blind Josh Orange Drop Mitsubushi and Muddy Mahawat who perform a blues version of Farewell Aunty Jack until Muddy Mahawat calls Aunty Jack the Sacred Cow of all India, to which she takes offense and, in her usual style, punches them out.

A scenic walk through Maddingley Park will ignite the history of Bacchus Marsh over the coming weeks.
Bronwyn Akers, a new member of the Bacchus Marsh and District Historical Society, is holding 50-minute guided walks through the popular picnic destination during April and May.
Ms Akers will tell the stories of both new and old sites, including the front and back memorial gates; Evans Pavilion, Dickie Bandstand; Dickie Light; CWA Shelter, and the site where the cannon and sun dial once was.
Maddingley Park was created in the 1860s and with the help of the public's generosity, was built into the attractive park it is today.
Ms Akers said the project was a way for the community to learn more about their backyard.
"It started as a university assignment that continued to expand and expand," she said.
"Majority of the information is from the Historical Society and Trove – an online data base run by the National Library of Australia.
"I've lived in Bacchus Marsh for seven-years and before that was in Melton, so I've been going to Maddingley Park since I was really little".
In 1935, the park became the responsibility of the Shire and is today maintained by both Moorabool Shire Council and a committee of community members.
The Guided Walk of Maddingley will be held on Saturday April 21 and Sunday April 29; and Saturday May 5 and Saturday May 12.
Ms Aker said the event is free, with no need to book a spot.
The guided walk will depart from the Taverner Street gates at 11am.
** The BM Historical society will also have a Maddingley Park display in the Lerdererg Library passage walls to coincide with the walk. **

In the run up to the open of ruby blue i was hunting high and low for interesting bits and bobs to either sell or to display and create atmosphere within the store.
Auctions are the perfect place to start as they are usually full of random and unusual things at hopefully amazing prices.
So i won a box of about 4 cameras (which i am still to try out) however when i opened up one of the cameras (the make i can't remember), inside was a rolled up used 120mm colour film.
I've been meaning to get the film developed for over a year now and finally did it this week!
I was so scared that the film was going to be blank, however to my joy it was full of fascinating images of a family holiday (possibly in the 1980s?).
My favourite is definitely the blurred image of the picnic, no doubt a beautiful accident from the mysterious figure behind the camera.
Anyway have a peek at a selection of the photographs and make up your own identities and stories for the people photographed just like i have...

…Consider the following verses by Howard W. Hunter:
This year—
Mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend.
Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust.
Write a love letter. Share some treasure.
Give a soft answer. Encourage youth.
Manifest your loyalty in word and deed.
Keep a promise. Find the time.
Forego a grudge. Forgive an enemy.
Understand. Flout envy.
Examine your demands on others.
Think first of someone else.
Be kind. Be gentle.
Laugh a little. Laugh a little more.
Deserve confidence.
Take up arms against malice.
Decry complacency. Express your gratitude.
Say a prayer. Welcome a stranger.
Gladden the heart of a child.
Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of earth.
Speak your love. Speak it again.
Speak it still once again.
As 2013 begins, the Mission Helpers of the Sacred Heart pray for God's continuing blessings on you and those you hold most dear.

Eight first nights
The first night of Chanukah, my roommates and I gathered enthusiastically in the doorway to light our Menorahs. Together, we sang the blessings out loud and lit our eight-winged lamps. Then, with great enthusiasm, we sang "HaNerios Hallulu" and danced.
After our long and involved ceremony, Chanukah was here.
Last night, night number two, I stood with my roommates as we, once again, sang the blessings and lit our Menorahs. Then my roommate started to sing "HaNeiros Hallulu" out loud.
As for me, I naturally launched into the prayer with a mumble.
I looked up at my singing roommate. What? She wants to sing it out loud? Again?
Deep down, somewhere in an ugly part of my subconscious, I had associated singing aloud with the inaugural night, not something that needed to be continued throughout all eight nights. I mean, come on, the first night was exciting! The first night was new! The first night was…well, the first night!
I quickly realized that, with my embarrassing thoughts, I was casting the other seven nights of Chanukah into a boring abyss of purposeless monotony. I needed help, or my entire menorah lighting would be nothing but a blur or un-tapped energy and meaning.
No, Mimi, you are not going to let the eights nights of Chanukah fall prey to your robotics!
Suddenly, I was singing absurdly loud (I apologize to my roommates, but at least I have an explanation!).
Right then and there, I vowed to uproot my scarred attitude to Judaism's often repetitive rituals. While sometimes things may seem repetitive, nothing is extra in G-d's plans. Eight nights of Chanukah means eight nights of separate opportunities. Every Menorah lighting holds within it a unique power to enlighten and transform.
No individual service to G-d can ever be repetitive, because, by its very definition, it is asked for.
When it comes to doing for G-d, it is always just the beginning. Sure, eating Latkes may get tiresome. But when it comes to lighting the Menorah, all eight days have an inaugural night. So every night, I must sing. Every night, I must dance. I have five nights left, but I will never get to do this again.

Beautful post MImi, straight from the heart!

Dunno if that's what your intentions were but its great!

Very nice. I have the same problem this year - adjusting to a new home, the pressures of a new business situation - and an utter distaste for anything oily - so I feel I, too, am going through the motions this year as far as Chanukah is concerned. (for me a latke or a doughnut might as well be a sponge soaked in "WD-40" and I am proud to say I have not eaten a single one to date but that will probably change tonight for Shabbos!)
It is considered a great segulah for parnosse to light a menorah, especially on the eighth night, near a barrel of kerosene in a heavily insured abandoned warehouse or vacant apartment building. There are some experts who do this type of mivtza Chanukah all year round.

Indeed, that was my intention. I didn't realize until I got a call from my brother (on behalf of my father, talking in the background)that it's the "wrong" Menorah :). I had forgotten.
The other picture went better..color-wise and all. But, alas, some things are just THAT important :)
Der Shygetz,
You are absolutely insane.

Der Shygetz,
You are absolutely insane.
I guess it comes from not eating any latkes or any passable donuts at all so far this Chanukah - for all I know there is a correlation between underconsumption of greasy fried foods and insanity.

To Honor a Queen: The Music of...Lili'uokalani
~ Ozzie Kotani
Hawaii's Queen Lili'uokalani was also a prodigious composer, penning more than 150 songs that attempted to capture the essence of her kingdom during her lifetime. So it's only apt that master player Ozzie Kotani should interpret some of her work instrumentally through the national slack-key.

Canary Flex Security Camera ReviewBy - 10/04/2017
The Canary camera was one of my favorite home security cameras, so when they announced Flex, I was one of the first to jump aboard. I expected to love Flex as much as the original Canary, if not more. It's sexier, it has a battery, and you can use it outdoors, but I'm not certain that battery operated outdoor home security cameras are ready to protect my home or yours.
Canary Flex for Home Security
Before I delve into why Canary Flex might not be the best choice for home security, let me say this: You can use Flex plugged into a power source. The first week of testing Flex, I used it indoors, plugged-in. It caught events, it was easy to access, and it was on its game though I didn't enjoy the picture coloration as much as my original Canary. This is probably because it streams at a lower resolution. The second week I pulled the plug and took Flex outside, triggering an entirely different experience.
Placing Flex in a tree using a Twist Mount (sold separately), the camera swapped from always on-guard to sleepy guard. Running on battery, you must wait for the camera to wake up to access live streaming. For me, this took about 10 seconds on average. Waiting for a live stream isn't a huge deal, but the camera also needs to wake up to catch motion, and that is a big deal. Several times I ended up with footage of someone's backside instead of their face. To preserve battery life the camera must sleep, which is not ideal for home security.
Using Modes For Home Security
Canary Flex only monitors for one type of event – motion. Its self-learning feature helps cut down on false alarms, but false alarms still happen. Through the mobile app, you can adjust motion sensitivity to help reduce false alarms. Getting it right takes some tweaking backed by perfect placement. After testing several settings, I decided to settle. It was either lots of false alarms or missing lots of relevant events. Placing the sensitivity level on the third bar, I received few false alarms (more on windy days), and only missed a few relevant events.
One crucial security feature that can help improve the overall experience is modes. Canary includes three modes: Home, Night, and Away, backed by auto-mode switching.
Auto-mode switching is what Canary calls their geolocation service. With this feature toggled on, Canary will automatically swap between home and away mode as you come and go. But what's nifty about this feature is that it can work with multiple phones. This way, Canary will only arm itself when all members of your family have left the house and disarm as soon as one family member returns. Though this is one of my favorite Canary Indoor features, I had trouble getting it to work with Canary Flex. On one occasion, the camera had me leaving the house five times in one hour though I remained at my desk the entire time.
Home Mode is used when you're home. You can have the camera set to private (cannot live stream) or you can set it so that you can live stream to check-in on things. Free users cannot record while the camera is in Home Mode, this is reserved for Canary Members. If you're a Member and you choose to have Canary record while you're home, you can decide if you would like to receive motion notifications or not.
Night Mode is used when you're home, but you're sleeping. With Night Mode, you have the same options as Home Mode: record video, send notifications, set to private. However, you also have the option to create a schedule. With a schedule, Canary will automatically swap to Night Mode during your normal sleeping hours and swap back to Home Mode when you wake up.
12/15/2017: Canary is launching Person Detection which will help to reduce false alarms by only sending events that include a person.
01/03/2018: They are also launching Package Detection for paid Members.
03/19/2018 Flex now supports masking a.k.a motion zones.
Video Storage
All events are recorded and stored in the cloud. Canary cameras include 24-hours of free cloud storage for up to five cameras. For free, you have access to 30-second Video Previews only. If you need more storage or if you want access to full-length videos, you will need to purchase a Canary Membership starting at $9.99 per month for five cameras.

Flex Accessories
The availability of accessories is another feature that enhances Flex's ability to protect your home. All of the accessories are sold separately.
Secure Mount – $29.99
The way I have Flex "mounted", someone could easily come by and snag it out of the tree. If you live in a high traffic/higher crime area, you will want to invest in the Secure Mount. The Secure Mount attaches to a wall or surface and locks Canary into place making it less susceptible to theft.
Twist Mount – $19.99
The Twist Mount is the mount I used. You can twist it around a tree branch, a railing, anywhere really. I had some problems getting it properly placed in a tree due to weight, and it seems to work a lot better hanging upside down than it does holding the camera in an upright position. Finally, placing the camera inside the twist mount is a bit of a pain, kind of like trying to put on an ill-fitting shoe, not easy, but not impossible.
Stake Mount – $19.99
The Stake Mount is made to drive into the ground. You can hide Canary in a garden, a potted plant, etc.
Canary vs. Canary Flex vs. Canary View
If you want to compare Canary Flex to other outdoor cameras, check this out. However, let's take some time to compare Flex to the original Canary and Canary View. Flex isn't a replacement for either camera, but rather a better-looking sibling. In fact, you can improve Flex's ability to protect your home by supplementing it with an indoor camera. If you are trying to decide between the three, there are pros and cons to all.

So what if you decide to opt for all Canaries? You can use multiple cameras under one login, but before you set them up, plan accordingly. You can setup your cameras under one location or separate locations, and there are again pros and cons to both methods.
One Location App Setup
When multiple cameras are setup under one location, toggling between them is super easy. You simply swipe the app to move from one camera to the other. Within the timeline, you can also swipe to move from one camera's capture of an event to the other camera's recorded footage.
However, the biggest issue with using one location is that settings will become one-size-fits-all. If you adjust motion sensitivity, it will affect all of your cameras. If you want to swap to away mode, it will swap all of your cameras.
Two Location App Setup
If you want the cameras to monitor separately, for example, one of them armed while the other is disarmed, the only way to make this happen is to set them up using two separate locations. The downside to doing this is that you won't be able to swipe from one camera to the other, but the process is far from difficult. Instead, click on the settings menu from the app and toggle between your two locations.
All that said, a separate location doesn't have to be a separate address. In fact, as both cameras use geo-location services, you will want to make sure the addresses match.
The final benefit of a two location setup is that you can add members and limit which camera feed they can access. Members are added per location so, for example, you can give your loved ones access to your outdoor camera, but not your indoor camera.
Be forewarned, Memberships are charged per location not per account.
Canary Flex vs. Arlo Pro
You can also compare Flex to other outdoor cameras including Arlo Pro 2 here.
Claim vs. Performance
One of my favorite ways to assess technology is by playing a game I call "claim versus performance", and it's one I most often play with home security cameras. How's it played? Simple. We'll take a look at Canary's claims about Flex and decide if it performs as promised or not. Spoiler Alert: Compared to most companies, Canary killed it. Almost everything they promised works as promised:
|Performance December 2016
|Performance September 2017
|Indoor/Outdoor Camera
|The camera can be used inside or outside.
|Works, the camera has survived 13 degree weather, rain, and my freezer.
|Battery Powered
|The camera can be used wire-free or plugged in.
|Works, though performance degrades.

|HD Camera with Night Vision

|Records Audio

|Though Two-Way Audio was promised, it is now a premium feature.
|Twist and Mount

|No Update
|The camera works alone, no extra equipment needed.
|Works. Unlike Arlo, Canary Flex works without a hub.
|All Canary devices seamlessly integrate into the Canary app.
|Wide Field of View
|116° wide-angle lens

|AES 256-bit data encryption
|Not Tested
|Recent Reports Praise Canary for Security and Privacy
|Motion Detection
|Will send a notification when motion is detected.
|Works, though may be slow to capture footage if running on battery.
|No Improvement
|Will send a notification when the device goes offline for a few minutes, when it comes back online, when you change the power source, and when the battery is full.
|Everything worked except for the offline notifications. While running on battery, Canary went offline at times, sometimes for more than several minutes. Though offline notifications did happen, they were rare.
|No Improvement
Final Thoughts
If I had to choose between Flex and the original Canary, I would choose the original. Flex is the best-looking security camera I've seen, it's flexible, and it has a battery, but a crystal clear picture is one of my two favorite Canary features and the original device outshines Flex in this category. Also, Flex has some performance issues.
The best way to use Flex is plugged into a power source, but it doesn't feel ready to protect a home unplugged, at least not outside. Unplugging the camera degrades the overall performance. From its ability to capture motion events on-time to its ability to stay connected and streaming, running it using batteries is not the best way to monitor outside your home.
If you would like to purchase your own Canary Flex, you can buy one for $199 or save money by buying multiple Canary devices.
Canary Flex FAQS
How long does the battery last?
I started running the camera using battery power on December 22nd, and by the 28th, the battery level was critically low. By December 30th, the camera would only briefly power on before turning off. We did have one 32 degree day, but temperatures jumped up to 75 on the 25th and held at around 50-60 for several days. I don't believe the temperature was a factor; I do believe wind was a factor. High winds cause excessive false alarms which puts additional strain on the camera's battery. We had two very windy days that dropped the battery level from 1/2 to 1/4 to critically low.
On January 1st I started running Canary in my freezer (less a few days outside where temperatures were between 13 and 25) to test how "cold weather" affects the battery life. The camera's battery instantly went from full to critically low. After contacting Canary support, they pushed an update to my camera which improved the battery issue. This time around, the camera lasted for one month before dying.
I did a retest of Canary Flex starting July 25th, 2017 as they pushed several updates aimed at improving battery life. The weather is mild here during the summer which will also affect the camera's battery life, but this time around, it did last a full 7 weeks on one charge.
How long does it take to charge the battery?
The first time I charged Flex, it took my battery 4 hours and 50 minutes to recharge. The second time, it took over 12 hours. And the third time I charged Flex, it took 10 hours and 20 minutes.
Can you turn the LED light off?
Unfortunately, there is no way to turn off the LED. In battery mode, the LED is naturally off to conserve battery. However, when plugged in, the light is always on.
Can I limit secondary users to viewing just one of my cameras?
Yes, you can. You will need to setup your cameras using separate locations. As mentioned above, separate locations can still use the same address. Once your multiple locations are setup, simply add members to the location that corresponds to the camera you want them to access. They will be limited to viewing the camera or cameras assigned to that location only.
Can it do anything besides send push notifications?
No. However, Canary provides the option of a custom Canary alert tone to help differentiate Canary alerts from other push notifications.

Alright…I'm gonna tell you somethin. Every since I was a kid I've always considered any space based movie or TV show connected. I mean, heck…it's space! It's infinite!!!…billions and billions of galaxies. It has always made sense to me that Yoda and Starbuck could be in the same time, just different places. Truthfully my affections tend to gravitate toward the brothas in space. Don't get me wrong, Buck Rogers was the man, but Boomer on Battlestar Gallactica was my boi!! I think it's just a subliminal connection thing. I fully realize that Boomer was not the star, but to me that was his show. It's a lot like Issac on The Love Boat. Anyway.
That being the case I have on many many MANY occasions thought about how cool it would be to kick it with Lando Calrissian, Worf, Twiggy (Yes he's a robot but he's a brotha), and Chewie. You know…we'd be chillin, sippin on 40oz. Colt 2745s and talkin about how hot Princess Armada from Buck Rogers was. There'd be a knock on the door and Jar-Jar would be all…
"Meesa lika having some 40's withums yousa homies!!"
And we'd be all… "Naw playa it's cool. For real tho, the Ewoks are 2 floors down, go chill with them. They got Coors Light." 🙂
Having had thoughts like that since I was a child, one can only imagine my excitement when I got a call from a guy named Randy to do the Star Wars based themed artwork for the 2015 Florida Bug Jam!
The Job
Randy is a cool cat so our conversations went well. He began by explaining that he wanted a cartoon design that was both VW and Star Wars related. He got about 3 sentences in and I cut him off because I was ready with an idea instantly! He laughed at my enthusiasm as my voice got all high pitched and squeaky with exuberance.
I'm a Star Wars fan…have been since Episode 4 which I saw for the first time in the balcony of a historic theater with my Grandmother when I was a wee tot. Note: That's the same Grandmother that fed me art history books and was instrumental in building my passion for art in general. I miss her. Awesome, Awesome lady.
They already had some lettering done by one of Randy's employees named Harrison Hunter Hedman…no joke. Both Randy and Hunter were great throughout the entire process so things went smooth. The concept was pretty simple. Make a bug an x-wing fighter and make a bus a tie-fighter and then incorporate them into a design. I swear I was sketching before I hung up the phone.
The Build
The art followed my normal path. Sketch, scan, enlarge, redraw on the light table, cry because I feel inadequate and pathetic, scan, print out blueline, tighten up on light table, crawl under the table and assume the fetal position while sucking my thumb, emerge, fight through the linework, feel better, scan, ink in photoshop, have fireman talk me off the ledge, then render. Pretty routine.
X-Wing Bug
On the Bug X-Wing Fighter I thought a lot about Porkins in Star Wars Episode 4. You know…he's in the rebel camp, eating a sandwich, watching Adam West Batman and the alarms go off. The fishhead commander gives a vague battle plan which includes the impossible act of shooting a missile or whatever through a hole with a 2 foot diameter while you're travelling at ludicrous speed. Porkins hops in his fighter, brushes some crumbs off his windbreaker and 6 minutes later he gets blown up by Vader! What a rip! I honestly believe his character had more to give. I wrote George Lucas about it like 11 years ago, he didn't reply…I'm assuming because he knows I'm right. 🙂
The Bug shape was a pretty natural fit. I decided to keep wheels and just tuck them for flight so maybe Luke and Leia could use it to go to the drive-in on Tatooine and smooch. (Note: She wasn't his sister then. It became creepy after the fact.) Overall it landed pretty well so I was happy.
Tie-Fighter Bus
The Bus Tie-Fighter required a little more thought. I didn't know if I should do a Bay window bus or a Split window bus. Splittys are considered the more desirable in the hobby but there are more Bays on the road, at least out here. The tipper was the fact that I could write BAY-DER on the Westfalia top of the Bay. Many times my ability to giggle when I see something wins out. I pulled a lot of reference for all these pieces as I wanted to make sure there was some accuracy even though it was a cartoon. In the end the Bus landed ok too so I was above the desk, not under it and feeling good.
For the layout it seemed like conveying some action would be a good thing. I didn't get to include my "pew-pew" noise but a battle scene and a VW modified Death Star seemed to fit it well. In the end the design was received favorably so that was cool for me. There was a lot of shares socially and hundreds of shirts sold online prior to the event date. Yay.
I got to do a Kahrmanneum Falcon too! It wasn't on the design but it, and all the original sketches were auctioned off for charity at the event.
The Show
So…My wife, Carole had an in home commission in Louisville, Kentucky and that's only a 2 hour flight from Dade City, Florida so we made a 13 day trip out of it. We spent over a week in Kentucky in this old Victorian house while she painted a horse for her client and I worked on my stuff. It was cool. We actually got to meet American Pharoah in person! I touched him!!! He was also the subject of Carole's painting so it was beyond swell. Her painting came out awesome and her client was thrilled.
I portabilized my entire system so I was able to do work for my clients and drew another Bug Wars pic using a laptop and my tablet.
We flew to Tampa and rented a 2015 New Beetle and drove to Dade City for the weekend. The Florida Bug Jam was huge! Very HUGE. I've been to many West Coast shows and this one dwarfed them. Randy and his crew were amazing. They had a Poker Run and police escorted cruise to downtown. There was a big stage and great bands playing. They built an offroad course for the buggy guys to go get dirty in. Valve cover races, food, prizes, vendors, beer, camping (Hi Charlie and Susan!!), plus so much more. It was nice to see different cars and see how they build out there as opposed to how we build out here. I have many many ideas for my car now.
The shirts came out very very nice and sold like Alderon Hot Cakes. The trophies were sic and everyone seemed to be having a good time.
Now…it was hot…not Tucson hot, but Florida muggy hot. The temp was 87 and I think the humidity was 400%!!! I'm not used to that at all so I had some issues. I didn't understand why I was sweating at 9am and all I was doing was standing there signing stuff. I told a few people that guys in Florida must only pick up chix between January and April cause there's no way you can be a smooth operator under those conditions.
All in all though, it was a great event. I was blown away by the hospitality and the energy of the people there. Randy and his staff were excellent. Running an event that large is hard and they deserve applause for their efforts. I was honored to be there and experience it first hand. If you get a chance to go to The Florida Bug Jam…Go!
Oh! My sister verified that Twiggy is a brotha, she says his walk says it all. I think we can all agree that Dr. Theopolis was not a brotha though.
Whew….ok…I think that about does it….time to kick my feet up, open a can of Colt 2745 and watch my boi get blown up by a nuke in Starship Troopers.
Till next time.
