Coghlan anticipating 'new chapter' as Phillie
CLEARWATER, Fla. -- How does Chris Coghlan follow one of the greatest seasons in baseball history and possibly the greatest World Series ever? He starts from scratch, and he signs a Minor League contract with the Phillies.
"I want to be part of something bigger than me," Coghlan said Saturday morning in front of his locker at Spectrum Field.
CLEARWATER, Fla. -- How does Chris Coghlan follow one of the greatest seasons in baseball history and possibly the greatest World Series ever? He starts from scratch, and he signs a Minor League contract with the Phillies.
"I want to be part of something bigger than me," Coghlan said Saturday morning in front of his locker at Spectrum Field.
Let him explain. Coghlan, 31, helped the Cubs win their first World Series in 108 years, as they overcame a 3-1 series deficit to win a thrilling Game 7 in 10 innings in Cleveland. It was an unforgettably emotional moment for millions of lifelong Cubs fans who had suffered through more than a century's worth of disappointments.
• Spring Training: Info | Tickets | Schedule | Gear
"I don't have a good enough vocabulary to describe it, but to do something first in a game that has been around more than 100 years is really hard," Coghlan said. "So you've got to imagine, you're one of 25 that ever walked the planet that can say they won a World Series. I mean, it's the pinnacle. You have a fellowship and a bond that nobody can separate you from."
But Coghlan knew it would be his last time in a Cubs uniform. The Cubs are loaded with young outfielders, so he knew he would not be back.
Coghlan signed with the Phillies earlier this month. An opportunity to get playing time obviously played a critical role in his decision to sign with Philadelphia.
Odubel Herrera, Michael Saunders and Howie Kendrick are expected to be the team's Opening Day outfielders, and Aaron Altherr is a smart bet to make the team, too. But Coghlan can earn a spot on the 25-man roster as the team's fifth outfielder with a strong spring.
Coghlan, who bats left-handed, hit a combined .247 with 31 home runs, 112 RBIs, a .332 on-base percentage and a .748 OPS the previous three seasons with the Cubs and A's, which included a rough first two-plus months this past year in Oakland (.487 OPS in 172 plate appearances). He posted a .338 on-base percentage and a .779 OPS in 1,051 plate appearances against righties.
"I'm happy to have him here as well as some of those other veteran guys," Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said.
Coghlan said he saw some similarities between the Phillies and where the Cubs were just a few years ago. Coghlan joined the Cubs in 2014, when they went 73-89. They went 97-65 to a earn a National League Wild Card spot in '15 before finishing 103-58 on their way to the World Series in 2016. The Phillies, however, finished 71-91. They hope to improve this year with postseason contention not far beyond that.
"I love the idea of what's building, and being a part of that in Chicago was really neat because you're building something bigger than you," Coghlan said. "And you can see it. You've got a lot of young guys you're building with. I was there when we lost [89] games in '14, and the next year we won 97 and were the second Wild Card. Nobody said it could be done, but you could see it. There was a belief.
"The point is that there's a lot of gratification and cool moments because we built something. It wasn't like you were there for a year and won it. That's cool anyway, but when you feel like you're building and you kind of go through the bad and see the good and you're building relationships with guys and you're building a family and you see the organization building toward a winner, and when they implement a couple pieces at the Trade Deadline and now you've got a powerhouse, that's why it was a huge draw to me. Because doing that in Chicago was special. It makes it more special because it's not just about you."
Coghlan's new teammates have asked him about his time with the Cubs and the World Series. He said he will receive his World Series championship ring sometime in April, although if he makes the Phillies' roster he could receive the ring in person when the Phillies visit the Cubs at Wrigley Field on May 1.
"I want to honor that," he said of his time with the Cubs, "but this is also a new chapter for me. I'm not a Cub anymore. I'm a Phillie."

Many of us learned how to handle money by watching our parents. Then our kids learned from us. Unfortunately, that's sometimes like making a copy of a copy. Each copy becomes more and more distorted.
What if we started over, learning proper money management and taught kids from where they are supposed to learn rather than from where we are now?

How To Revive A Dying Bonsai Tree—Options That Work (2)
After I moved to Canada in 2008, I was a die-exhausting conservative Republican. So once I came upon that we had been going to be coated by Canada's Common Health Care, I was considerably disgusted. This meant we couldn't choose our own health coverage, or even decide out if we wished too. It also meant that abortion was lined by our taxes, something I had all the time believed was horrible. I believed primarily based on my politics that government mandated health care was a violation of my freedom.
Neuropathy: This is one thing I am currently in the technique of being examined for. I might say for me, it is the second worse symptom, after fatigue. Peripheral neuropathy causes nerve ache and itching in my legs and toes, typically making strolling a huge problem. I have additionally been experiencing dizziness from changing positions and from standing quite a lot of minutes. I've come very close to passing out extra instances than I can count. I'm also experiencing dramatic temperature swings. This will likely all be associated to something called autonomic neuropathy. The jury continues to be out on that. However all the evidence is pointing that way.

Without any clearly distinguishable style, they evoke the furniture of the nineteenth century, the attributes of the bourgeoisie, political symbols of a declined era, object of everyday use or ambiguous, anachronistic, mundane-looking elements of unusual size with unknown function, usage, or meaning, yet movingly intimate. News from Nowhere is a familiar yet mysterious set of artefacts reifying the process of identification, a riddle to which only she has the keys and codes although generic enough to immediately recall upon the viewers own memories.

|Babb, MT
|Tail number
|Accident date
|16 Apr 2000
|Aircraft type
|Maule M-5-210C
|Additional details:
On April 16, 2000, approximately 1630 mountain daylight time, a Maule M-5-210C, N284X, registered to and operated by the pilot as a 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight, was reported missing after it did not arrive at its destination in Three Hills, Alberta, Canada. On April 19, 2000, at 1130, the wreckage was located by search personnel in a canyon surrounded by mountainous terrain approximately 10 nautical miles west of Babb, Montana. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at Glacier Park International Airport, 30 nautical miles southwest; however, the conditions at the accident site at the time are unknown. The aircraft was destroyed and the private pilot, the sole occupant, was fatally injured. The flight departed from Polson, Montana, approximately one hour prior to the accident. There was no report of emergency locator transmitter activation.
Radar data provided by Langley AFB, indicated that the aircraft was initially identified on radar at Flathead Lake, near Lakeside, Montana, about the time the pilot activated the VFR flight plan. The flight path proceeded on a northeasterly heading at the highest altitude of about 10,500 feet, and then descended to 9,200 feet when the target was lost near Mount Henkel in the Glacier National Park. The end of the data targets indicates that the flight turned to an easterly direction, before turning to a northwesterly direction when the target was lost. The Great Falls Sectional indicates that the highest obstacle in that area is 10,800 feet (See attached RADAR tracking data and maps).
The wreckage was sighted by search personnel on the southwest corner at the end of a canyon that surrounds Kennedy Lake. Kennedy Lake is on the northwest side of Mount Henkel.
At the time of the accident, the pilot held a private pilot certificate for single-engine land aircraft. The pilot's flight logbook was recovered from the accident site and reviewed by the National Transportation Safety Board. The flight logbook indicated that the pilot had accumulated a total flight time of approximately 158 hours in all make/model aircraft, with 108 hours as pilot-in-command. A total of 25 hours had been accumulated in the Maule M5-210C. The remainder of the pilot's flight times had been accumulated in a Stinson 108-1 and 108-3.
The logbook indicated that the pilot began flying in 1992, in Wasilla, Alaska, in a Stinson. The private pilot certificate was issued in 1993. In August 1998, the logbook indicated the first flight in the Maule. A flight review and high performance checkout in the Maule were accomplished on August 10, 1998, in Wasilla. Over the next two months, flights in the Maule were logged beginning in Wasilla and ending in Plains, Montana, in October 1998. The remaining logged entries were on May 6, 1999, and December 10, 1999, which were 30 minutes in duration local flights. The last logged flight before the accident date was on April 12, 2000, when the pilot and a mechanic from Polson flew a one-hour flight from Plains to Polson for the annual maintenance inspection.
A telephone conversation with the owner of the property where the pilot based the aircraft, reported that he recalled that the pilot had flown the aircraft once in the two years prior to April 12, when the pilot and a mechanic flew the airplane to Polson for the annual inspection. He also stated that he knew that the pilot had been talked out of flying to Canada the day before, because of poor weather.
The maintenance logbooks indicate that the annual inspection performed prior to the pilot's purchase of the aircraft on August 4, 1998, was signed-off on July 31, 1998, at a total time of 1643.5 hours. The most current annual inspection was signed-off on April 14, 2000. The aircraft had accumulated a total of 22.5 hours since the last inspection in July 1998.
The mechanic who signed-off the annual inspection reported that for an aircraft that had been setting for about a year and-a-half, it required only minor maintenance for the inspection, and that the pilot did not report any problems. The mechanic also reported that he spoke with the pilot on April 15, and talked him out of going to Canada that day due to the poor weather. He stated that the pilot was anxious to go in order to attend a graduation.
At 1012, the pilot contacted Great Falls, Montana, Automated Flight Service Station (GTF AFSS) and requested a standard VFR weather briefing from Polson to Three Hills, Alberta. The pilot indicated that he wanted to depart at 1300. En route altitude was reported as 7,500 feet for the 2.5-hour flight. The specialist informed the pilot of the Airmet that was current from 0900 to 1100 that indicated VFR flight was not recommended. The specialist recommended that the pilot call back for the noon-updated forecast. The pilot agreed and the conversation was concluded.
At 1309, the pilot contacted GTF AFSS and requested an updated standard VFR weather briefing. The pilot indicated a 1500 departure for a route of flight from Polson to Cut Bank, Montana, Lethbridge, Canada, and a final destination to Three Hills, at a cruising altitude of 7,500 feet for the three-hour flight. The pilot reported a landing at Lethbridge to clear customs. The specialist reported that the Airmets for IFR and icing conditions should be cancelled by 1500. The specialist then informed the pilot of the current weather conditions at Cut Bank, Lethbridge, and Red Deer, Canada. The specialist informed the pilot that from the forecast, he should be able to head into Lethbridge, with no problem. However, from Lethbridge to the final destination the weather looked borderline IFR to marginal conditions. The specialist gave the pilot the winds aloft information and recommended that he call back for an update, and to check on the Airmets. The conversation was concluded.
At 1337, the pilot contacted GTF AFSS and requested a standard flight briefing from Polson to Three Hills. The specialist took the VFR flight plan information and a VFR flight plan was filed from Polson to Lethbridge. Time en route was reported as three hours. The pilot indicated that he had 60 gallons of fuel on board, or five hours of flight time. The specialist then updated the pilot on the weather for the area indicating that a high-pressure ridge was over the area with moisture into the southwestern part of the state. The Airmets had been cancelled. The surface observations for Kalispell, Glacier Park, Missoula, and the Canadian airports were given. The pilot did not indicate the route of flight before the conversation was concluded. The pilot inquired about what frequency to open the flight plan, and the specialist indicated to open the flight plan off Lakeside. He also reported that the satellite was showing thick cloud cover over the mountains westward, and that he may have difficulty getting over the mountains.
Park personnel reported that on the day of the accident, adverse weather was in the area to include mountain obscuration and high winds.
At 1539, the pilot contacted GTF AFSS, via the aircraft radio, to open his VFR flight plan to Lethbridge. The specialist reported that the flight plan was activated at this time. Air traffic control facilities reported that there was no further communication with the aircraft after this time.
Search personnel reported that wreckage was found at an elevation of approximately 7,600 feet mean sea level, and about 200 feet above Kennedy Lake. The terrain is approximately 30 to 40 degrees sloping and covered with snow. The top of the canyon rises to approximately 9,200 feet. Evidence of new avalanche was noted.
Personnel from Glacier National Park, who recovered the pilot from the accident site, reported that a majority of the wreckage was buried under the snow. Park personnel reported that due to avalanche potential, adverse weather and terrain conditions, it was recommended that the wreckage recovery be post-poned until late summer when the snow melted. Debris that was visible extended for about one-half mile. The main wreckage of the airplane was located at about the 8,000-foot level and was partially buried in the snow. Directly above this wreckage, to about the 8,300-foot level, more debris was located, but became scarce above this point. Below the 8,000-foot level, the debris that was visible included a gas tank, pieces of seat belt, a tire, a blue jacket, and small aluminum pieces of the fuselage and seat cushions.
In early September, 2000, a wreckage recovery team was dispatched. The team reported that very little of the wreckage remained at the location. It appeared that the larger pieces (main wreckage to include the cockpit) slid down the mountain and into Kennedy Lake. The engine was located, but rolled down the hill and into Kennedy Lake before it was secured. A small section of one wing and several small miscellaneous pieces were recovered. The propeller was not located.
An autopsy was performed by B.D. Patterson, M.D., Northern Plains Pathologists, Great Falls, Montana. The cause of death was reported as "Blunt force trauma to head and chest."
Toxicological samples were sent to the Federal Aviation Administration Civil Aeromedical Institute, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for analysis. The results of the analysis were reported as negative.
The wreckage was recovered from the accident site early September, 2000, and moved to Bozeman, Montana.
The wreckage was released to the pilot's estate on October 12, 2000.
Park personnel reported that if conditions permitted, the remainder of the wreckage that slid into Kennedy Lake might still be recovered. To this date, that has not been accomplished.

Chapter III
I never knew that wingless humans could be so much fun!
"Siskin, my name is SIS-KIN," I said.
"Shish-kin," she prounounced proudly.
"Shish-kin, Shis-kin, Shis-kin," she squealed.
Rosie's mother, father and brother laughed and laughed.
"Oh very funny," I said,
as I flew wildly around their heads.
Rosie was laughing, too. Her chubby little cheeks were
Luckily, that awful night, I was able to locate my faerie friends.
They flew to get help, while I hurried back to take care of Rosie.
We were deep in that forest.
With the dragon lurking,
it took two days and many teams of humans to find us
and keep HIM distracted.
What a brave little girl.
In those days that I kept her hidden,
she contently munched on berries and drank drops of
water from flower blossom buckets.
We often heard the dragon roar.
Frightened, Rosie would whimper.
I would put a finger to her lip and she to mine.
She was growing weak.
I would touch her soft little hand.
"Please, hold on a bit longer, sweet baby."
After the rescue, I talked to my Mama.
She listened for a long time to the whole story, before she spoke.
"My little one," she said,
"You have learned the faerie lesson very well."
She knew I had to leave the forest.
I told her, " I will return to the forest some day.
Right now, I need to keep watch over a silly
wingless creature, named Rosie."
She understood.
So, Pushkin....that is the end of the story.
The rest is history."
"But Great Grandmother, I still don't understand
the faerie lesson!"
"Oh my darling Pushkin, there is much to the lesson.
When you are little, everything else is so big and complex.
Just remember...
...never go looking for trouble,
it will find you.
And, sometimes trouble isn't such a bad thing.
Sometimes trouble is just human.
That is why it is such a big job to be a little faerie!"
The end.
Hope you enjoyed the faerie tale.
Watch for A Faerie's Tale II to appear soon.

-10 out of 10 (THAT'S A NEGATIVE 10 OUT OF 10!)
When Metallica & Lou Reed performed Sweet Jane at the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame 25 Year Anniversary show a couple years ago, it was a good rendition of a great song.
Then someone somewhere, smoked a huge vial of expired rancid cow shit, and thought what a great idea it would be to have them collaborate on an entire album together. Now to be fair, the idea isn't that bad. Who knows how good or bad the final outcome would be? I mean it is the legendary Lou Reed and Mighty Metallica after all? How bad could it be?
Well, you've heard the single streaming for sometime, and I swear, I SWEAR, I thought it was a goof! I thought there was no way in hell that THIS was the final product. But alas, I was wrong. It wasn't a goof, it wasn't a ploy to throw us all off the scent, this was the final product, they were serious, and this was the roasted dog turd that they were serving up known as Lulu.
Now lest you think I am a Metallica hater, I have always and still do defend St. Anger. There are some great riffs, and songs buried in that album. Yes the production stinks, but go back, and really listen to it. Ok, well listen to the DVD of them playing it all live, it is much better than the CD itself. And listen to the songs again. Buried in the repetitiveness and overkill of each 10 minute song is a great 4 minute song struggling to get out.
That being said, it saddens me to call this album worse than Limp Bizkit's Gold Cobra. Hell, this is even worse than Stryper's cover album The Covering and that was a steaming dog turd!!!!
I just reread my review of Stryper and realized that musically (and for song choices they covered) I had them at 4 out of 10 before Michael sang. And that dropped it back to 0.
So in all fairness I should give this 'Less Than Zero', as it only garnered one point for some of the underlying riffs that Metallica lays down throughout this horrible horrible album. So, as I said with Stryper's attempt at recording the worst album of 2011, DO NOT PICK THIS UP. You'll thank me later.
If you HAVE to listen to it for yourself, you can listen to the entire album streaming here.
But don't say I didn't warn you.
My heart hurts. I have to go drown it in some Slayer now thank you.

Possession with Intent
Isabelle's Gift Label
8 out of 10
South Carolina's ISABELLE'S GIFT have been described as 'The second most dangerous band in the world'. Their 'balls out' raw energy approach to hard rock is very reminiscent of early Guns & Roses. And with their lyrical content wavering between illicit drug use, child molestation, rampant self immolation and desecration, titty bars, cocaine pentagrams, lascivious worship of the female form and orgiastic liquor consumption, it's really no wonder they wear that tag as a badge of honor.
Their latest album, Possession with Intent, isn't just another Isabelle's Gift album; it is a middle finger to the state of rock and roll. It's a .45 caliber bullet to your temple. It's everything a good hard rock album should be, and then some.
Upon first listen, as the opening track Million Dollar Joke begins, you may think to yourself, 'Self, why is Nickelback blaring from my speakers?' And you wouldn't be far off. The opening riff could be pulled right off the latest Nickelback disc. And this isn't a bad thing, as it is a killer riff; it just grabbed me immediately and made me check to make sure I put the right disc in my stereo. Even after the bass and drums kick in, it still doesn't quite have that IG signature sound to it, until it breaks down, and as Chris Sutton's voice comes in, you sit back, relax, and begin the descent into monster swinging riffs, and a cavalcade of madness, piss, and vinegar from one of rock's unheralded best frontmen out there today.
While Million Dollar Joke may be a pleasant 'slight' departure for the band, Sonofabitch is 100% born and bred Isabelle's Gift fare. I hate to say 'classic guitar sound' of Kyle and James because most of you have sadly never even heard of IG until right now. But the tone, the riffs, the rawness is all IG and for those of us privileged enough to be in the know for several years, it has become a signature sound.
Sonofabitch and 88 show the anger and venom that boil beneath the surface of the best of Isabelle's Gift's music. From the strung out junkie redneck vibe to the white trash romance gone bad, to the simple misunderstood man standing amongst the shit hole that is his life somehow; the music is a bombastic rock and roll soundtrack to the glorious highs and lows of being at times simultaneously high and low.
It seems impossible to do at times, and not many can do it as well as IG, but from one lyrical line to the next they can celebrate the excesses of music and drugs, of tittybar superstars and pill head rockstars, the highest highs that only succeed in bringing on the lowest of the lows. The band doesn't glorify the lifestyle they may lead and or portray in their music, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that there is some sick and twisted shit going on in lead singer Chris Sutton's head to bring out a song such as Edward 40 Hands or Lazy Suzan.
The nihilistic excesses of rock and roll are alive and well and the band named after a sexually transmitted disease is flying their scars, demons, and drive high, loud, and proud. Nothing exceeds like excess and Isabelle's Gift is here to prove that creed.
My only complaint is that the second half of the album is/was their last EP. So if you are already following the band, then you are only getting what amounts to two EPs. Bubblegum Diesel (Sunnshine, Kill the Cheerleader, Save the World, and West Virginia) then 4 new songs, (Million Dollar Joke, 88, Sonofabitch, and Haulin' Oats and Ass) and a reworked Edward 40 Hands off their last full length album American Idol.
Still, all told, the nine songs that make up Possession with Intent are better than almost anything you are listening to right now. And sure as shit it is 100 times better than 'the most dangerous band in the world's' Chinese Democracy.
Yes, while this should really be considered an EP of new music, it will surely be on my top ten list of albums for 2011. Because even 4 new Isabelle's Gift songs are better than no Isabelle's Gift and because they are better than EVERYTHING you can hear on FM radio today.
Download Possession with Intent on amazon.com and iTunes today. You'll thank me later.

During a news conference, President Trump announced that he will sign a new Executive Order (EO) on immigration. This announcement is in response to the ruling of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals against the travel ban. In addition to the new EO, President Trump also stated that he will appeal the ruling of the Ninth Circuit Court.
In other news, a bill was introduced in the Senate by about 20 senators that, if passed, will block President Trump's EO on interior enforcement. This EO from Trump expands the interior enforcement in the United States.
VERDICT: The announcement of the new Executive Order reflects Trump's strong desire to push for stringent immigration reform. Based on the ruling of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the current makeup of the Supreme Court, it is unlikely the Supreme Court will change the ruling of the Circuit Court. Trump is hoping that this new EO will find more success, but we will have to wait and see what the specifics of the EO will be.
The legislation introduced in the Senate is promising. It shows the ability of the legislative branch, in addition to the courts, to check the powers of Trump. This current Congress is Republican in both the House and the Senate, so it will be difficult for Democrats to pass legislation on this issue. However, there is potential for the Democrats to protest the actions of the Trump administration through introducing these bills.

Over the last few months since I've been back at work I've been coping with the dreaded Mummy guilt which inevitably has crept up on me. Before I had Little Mr, I very naively thought I'd be absolutely fine with dropping him off at his Grandparents and going to work. We are very lucky to be in a position where Little Mr is cared for by both sets of Grandparents during the week whilst me and hubby are at work. Realistically, we couldn't afford for him to be in nursery and as sad as the fact is, we had to ensure we had childcare in place before we got pregnant.
Little Mr has settled really well into a routine of being with his Grandparents four days per week. I work Monday to Thursday having Fridays at home with him which I absolutely love. In an ideal world I wouldn't go out to work at all but we have bills to pay so reality means I have no other choice. I'm desperately conscious of the fact that I only spend 3 hours a day with Little Mr and those precious 3 hours are often filled with the car journey home, cooking the dinner and our bath and bedtime routine. Therefore I'm always trying to ensure we spent quality time together on my day off and at weekends. I know it's normal life but why do I feel so bloody guilty about not spending time with him. In all honesty, I'm insanely jealous that his Grandparents get to spend all the good hours with him when he's at his best but then that's my fault isn't it for going to work.
On Sunday night, Little Mr had an awful nights sleep. He's still teething and had been grouchy pretty much all day. He went to bed absolutely fine but come 2am he was crying and got very upset to the point where he was sobbing and couldn't catch his breath. After applying all my usual techniques and 3 hours later, he was still awake and screaming. For the record, I don't believe he wasn't screaming in pain, he was overtired and didn't know what to do with himself for the best. Knowing that I had to be up, showered, dressed and in work in just over 3 hours time, I picked him up, gritted my teeth and told him in my tired and frustrated state to go to sleep before putting him back into his cotbed. I've never done that before and boy did I feel guilty for it.
As I picked up Little Mr on Monday evening he cried as his Grandad tried to put his coat on him and he didn't want to be passed to me on the doorstep as we do every night. I felt like the worse Mummy in the world that my baby didn't want to come home with me. Of course, I'm totally relating the two events and I could be wrong but it just feels like an awful coincidence to me. So, yes I've been feeling incredibly guilty since Monday morning and I really hope he won't remember it.
Have you experienced Mummy guilt? Why do we do it to ourselves when we're clearly just trying to do the best for our little ones.

Pumpkin Pie Chai Toddy
January 1, 2011
If you like pumpkin pie and are a fan of chai tea latte, this is a combo you're sure to enjoy as well.
Filled with so much flavor that it is hard to describe if you've never enjoyed it, Tazo® Chai Tea consists of: black tea, rooibos, black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, chicory, natural flavors and star anise, cane sugar, honey, ginger juice, natural flavors, vanilla, and citric acid.
Tazo® Decaf Chai Tea Concentrate is the base for this drink. It's exactly what Starbucks uses and is available at most grocery stores now, although you might find the decaf variety harder to come by than the caffeinated. If you can't find it at your grocery store, you can purchase it at most Starbucks locations.
NOTE: This recipe makes a strong chai. If you find it to sweet, you can mix 1/2 cup of water with 1/2 cup of the tea concentrate.
Nutrition Info
1 1/2 cups
Not available at this time. per Serving
- 1 cup prepared Decaf Tazo Chai Tea (or 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup tea)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup Fulton's Harvest Pumpkin Pie Cream Liqueur (or Pumpkin Spice liqueur)
In a cup big enough to hold at least 1 1/2 cups (12 oz.), heat the tea in the microwave until it is too hot to drink. Meanwhile, In a measuring cup, pour 1/4 cup milk. Add your pumpkin pie liqueur it reaches the 1 cup line. (If you're still sober, you'll have no trouble realizing that's just a 1/2 cup of liqueur. If you're feeling ambitious, add more!) Pour the milk and liqueur mixture into the tea and serve. Cheers!

Beautiful women and badass cars, check.
Ethan Hunt and the IMF gang do some pretty cool stuff with BMWs in the latest Mission Impossible film. However, the teaser trailer for the new James Bond movie "Spectre" has made us forget all that. It's ostensibly about James Bond fighting a shadowy organization with beautiful women by his side, but gearheads know it's all about the cars. Here you get another look at the epic chase scene between Bond's Aston Martin DB10 and Mr. Hinx's (a villain) Jaguar C-X75.
There's also a snowy and explosive SUV chase scene, a crazy helicopter fight and quite a few beautiful women.

Pump Up the Volume
It's what most of my favorite shows are about -- Sunday in the Park with George, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, High Fidelity, Bat Boy, Company, Hair, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Passion, yes, even Assassins...!
But Pump Up the Volume is also about finding your voice and, having found it, Saying Something. Those of us who make theatre have been given the greatest gift of all -- a voice with which to tell the truth. But we must not waste that voice. Why do you think live theatre still survives after all these centuries, largely unchanged? People need us. We have the power to make people think and feel. We can tell the truth and be listened to. This is a great gift but also a great responsibility. That voice must be used, not wasted, not trivialized. People will try to control the voice. People will find the voice threatening if it really speaks the truth.
That's why the Republicans are so angry right now. They are terrified of this truth-teller Obama, because everybody seems to be listening to him! And now everything's going to change!
And so I challenge my fellow theatre artists: don't waste your voice on the trivial or the shallow, don't offer us the easy and the comfortable, don't believe the lie that people only want escape; instead trust your audience, believe in their intelligence and depth, believe that your voice has value to them and purpose in our world. Say Something.
There is no nobler profession than storytelling. It is how we bond, how we record our history, how we pass on our culture and philosophy, and how we chart the human mind and heart. It is absolutely necessary to the health and well-being of a civilized society -- even more so today, in an ever increasingly complex world.
Let's set the bar as high as we can imagine it, and let's take our audiences on an adventure every time they come to see us. What could be more fun than that?
Long Live the Musical!

Profile folder contains: a) configuration settings and b) temporary data (various caches, temporary files, databases of tracking data, history, session storage, etc). The former is important to keep (if you want to have your settings permanent), while the latter could be easily discarded. Moreover, if you're concern about tracking data always accumulated in your computer and don't want to keep that data indefinitely, it's recommended to remove it on a regular basis.
Here is list of configuration files, that you may want to keep in your Profile folder:
Profile: │ First Run -- needed to avoid first run nag │ └───Default Bookmarks -- your bookmarks Cookies -- your recent cookies Custom Dictionary.txt -- personal dictionary Favicons -- favicons Preferences -- preferences Secure Preferences Web Data -- to keep Search engine configured
Other files/folders, residing within Profile folder, are temporary and could be removed at any time (with browser closed, of course).
We recommend to make a copy of your custom profile. In order to do so:
Now you may run your browser, pointing to that new custom profile folder (D:\Tmp\Chrm\p) as your new profile.
This script facilitates task of making copy of all configuration files from current profile into a new folder.
How to use it:
Generally there are two ways of running Chromium browser with custom profiles that we may recommend:
It will run Chromium browser using specific custom profile. You may adjust all browser settings, accept cookies, install new extensions, etc and save it in the same profile folder. And you can make a new copy from that profile at any time and use it as your new default profile.
"%ProgramFiles%\Chromium\chrome-win32\chrome.exe" -user-data-dir="D:\Tmp\Chrm\p"
Note: all subsequent runs will reuse the same profile and, therefore, potentially collect and share all its data.
You can launch s new Chromium browser instance completely separated from other instances, by clicking on a shortcut (see instructions below). Every time you click on it, the new and unique instance of the Chromium browser will be created. The new instance of the browser will not share any data with other running instanced. And when you close the browser all browsing history, cookies, other session data will be deleted automatically.
In order to do so you need:
We offer you ChrmNewInst.bat script, that will do all of the above automatically. If you don't want to see ugly black CMD window, running the BAT file when you use browser, you may want to run it in a hidden window. It's easy to do with our CMDH tool.
You may want to make a new shortcut, that will launch new instance of Chromium with unique temporary profile. It's Target could contain command line, similar to this one:
"C:\WINDOWS\CMD\cmdh.exe" "C:\WINDOWS\CMD\ChrmNewInst.bat"
Note: command line points to CMDH.exe tool (put it in any appropriate directory) and to ChrmNewInst.bat file, that will actually do the job.
All running sessions, started with this shortcut, are completely independent and unique. They won't share any data and the data itself will not be preserved for next runs.
Script accepts any options, that could be used with Chromium browser. You can launch browser in multi process mode (see example above). Or you may want to launch it in a single process mode, opening a web site at its start. For example, you may run it from a shortcut with this Target:
"C:\WINDOWS\CMD\cmdh.exe" "C:\WINDOWS\CMD\ChrmNewInst.bat" www.google.com --single-process
If you use your temporary custom profile, you may want to:
D:\Tmp\Chrm\p -- custom profile with current history, data, etc D:\Tmp\Chrm\p.def -- default custom profile
"C:\WINDOWS\CMD\cmdh.exe" "C:\WINDOWS\CMD\ChrmNewInst.bat"
Make sure that ChrmNewInst.bat script inside has there settings:
set Program="%ProgramFiles%\Chromium\chrome-win32\chrome.exe" set ProfDef="D:\Tmp\Chrm\p.def" set ProfTmp=%TEMP%
If you have a different environment, adjust them accordingly.
"%ProgramFiles%\Chromium\chrome-win32\chrome.exe" -user-data-dir="D:\Tmp\Chrm\p"
"C:\WINDOWS\CMD\cmdh.exe" "C:\WINDOWS\CMD\ChrmCopyProf.bat" /q D:\Tmp\Chrm\p D:\Tmp\Chrm\p.def
After that all your new instances of browser you launch are going to use that new profile.
D:\Tmp\Chrm\p - profile folder contains (and continue to accumulate) all temporary data
D:\Tmp\Chrm\p.def - profile folder contains only configuration files, that you want to keep
The latest Chromium build you can download from Softpedia. Unpack zip file into any folder, e.g. %ProgramFiles%\Chromium.
Download: ChrmProf_1.2.zip (zip contains ChrmCopyProf.bat and ChrmNewInst.bat files).

Tomorrow I will post a long-overdue essay about "routine", and the sneaky way it creeps up on a body even when still adapting to a new context.
Today, though, I started posting on Patheos.com, as a part of the group blog The Secular Spectrum. I will be posting twice-weekly there, and if I am successful at building an audience, I will get a blog of my own for the site. I am delighted by the opportunity to blend my observations on religion, secularism, Canadian culture, Colombian culture, and world politics in general on that forum. Not only is this a good step towards a different sort of writing success, but it is also a relief to find a more public forum for many of my currently restricted thoughts about the transition to life here.
My first post, A Humanist in Colombia: Lessons for a Hurting World, offers background info for tomorrow's Colombian presidential election, and outlines a general concern about polarizing politics (in faith and nation-state discourse alike) that should compel us to learn more from the world outside North America. On Wednesday, I will post about something a little closer to North America, but it will still be interweaving global politics with humanist and religious practice.
If you find it worth your while to read my posts on Patheos.com, please consider sharing them with your friends. As with so much online, my ability to succeed as a writer here will be contigent on the "hustle". To that end, thank you for reading even this far!
Warmest wishes–and a proper, full essay tomorrow!

The stuffing :
- Cut the onion, garlic and Paris mushrooms
- In a pan, cook the onion and garlic until golden, add the cut mushrooms and cook until all the water is evaporated. Transfer to a food processor.
- In the same pan cook your Portobello mushroom top side down until golden, then put aside.
- Cook the spinach and add it to the food processor.
- In the food processor, mix the cooked Kaniwa, the onion, garlic and mushroom mixture, slice of bread, chestnut, cooked spinach, fresh parsley and other herbs.
- Lay your puff pastry on a baking sheet, add the filling, then the Portobello mushroom on top. Very carefully roll the pastry on top of the mushrooms.
- Lightly coat your Wellington with the vegan egg wash
- Cook your Wellington 30 to 35 minutes or until golden.
You can buy a pre-made puff pastry, but if you want to try to make your own this is how.
The puff pastry:
- In a food processor or stand mixer mix all the dried ingredients together. Add gradually the water. Pour the dough into a bowl and form a ball without needing. Wrap and let sit in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Lay the butter between two parchment paper, roll the butter into a block. Put it in the fridge for 15 minutes.
- Roll your dough on a silicone sheet or baking paper. Create a big square, put your butter on top, and fold your dough on the butter.
- Form the dough into a rectangle and roll it out. Fold the top third of the dough onto the middle of the dough and the bottom third on top of that
- Give the dough a quarter turn and roll it out again. Folding the dough like in « 5. » Repeat the process 2 times.
- Wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes before using.
Baking a puff pastry can seem difficult this is why watching a video is the best way to understand the process:

That was what my parents wanted to see on my report card when I was in primary school. It was a key method of learning whether or not their child was figuring out how to get along with others. Was young Andy adapting to the world around him, acquiring socializing skills, and sorting out how to deal with the different personalities he was meeting at school. "Plays Well with Others." Enough to make a parent proud. All the rest of the readin', 'ritin', and 'rithmetic would not matter much, if Andy could not get along with others.

I made another Spiral lone star this month using pink and purple prints from the Blueberry Park collection by Karen Lewis for Robert Kaufman. The pattern and construction for this lone star is very similar to a traditional lone star except for the placement of fabrics. In this post I shall try to do a tutorial in pictures.
What size star? I am usually overwhelmed when I start making a lone star. There are so many things to decide – the width of the strips, the number of colors, the number of diamonds in a row and the final star size. I did some math and came up with this table. This table is for the spiral star, so the number of different fabric is always 8. For a traditional lone star the number of strips of each color varies based on the layout but the strip width and length from this table will work.
Materials (for a 40″ finished star – first row in the table):
- 8 different fabric for the star. Some gradation in the value or hue of the fabrics work very well for this pattern.
- From each star fabric: 4 strips 2.5″ x 18″. If using a jelly roll, you will need two WOF strips for each color.
- For the background: 1.25 yards. I used Kona cotton medium grey.
- Before cutting, iron and starch all fabric. We will be cutting and sewing on the bias a lot. Starching helps keep the shape.
- From each star fabric:
- Cut 4 strips 2.5″ x 18″
- Label the fabric strips 1-8 after you decide their order.
- From the background fabric,
- Cut 4 13″ x 13″ square
- Cut 4 9.5″ x 9.5″ squares
- Cut each square once along the diagonal. You should have 8 small triangles and 8 large triangles.
Construction: I am using numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 for the 8 fabric strips. Letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H for the 8 strip sets and Roman numerals I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII for the large diamonds or arms of the star.
- Strip sets: Use the table above for reference to sew 8 strip sets. Each set has 4 fabric strips in order. Offset each strip by about 2 1/4″ over the previous one. See picture for details. Press seams open. This will make matching seams a lot easier in later steps.
- Trim strip sets:
First trim off the jagged edges of each strip set. Line up the 45 degree line on your ruler along the top edge and cut across the strip set.
- Cut slanted strips:
Cut slanted strips 2.5″ wide parallel to the previous cut. Line up the 45 deg line on your ruler with the bottom edge of the strip set and the 2.5″ line on your ruler with the slanted edge of the strip set. If both lines don't match exactly, re-trim the slanted edge to match exactly. This gives perfect strips you can join put together without tugging and pulling to match seams. Repeat for all strip sets.
- Layout: After all the strips are cut, lay them out and play with the layout. You cannot change the order of the strips at this point but you can make the spiral go clockwise or counter-clockwise, etc. This will also help you make sure you are consistent the order of strips in each strip set.
- Joining the slanted strips: We now join the slanted strips to make the large diamonds or arms of the star.
- Place adjacent strips right sides together and pin at the seams. See picture below. Pin the two sides at exactly 1/4″ from the edges along the seams.
- Repeat for all eight large diamonds. You may use my table above but it is better to layout the strips first and sew them together as laid.
- Layout the finished diamonds and the background triangles. Each diamond will be next to one small and one large triangle.
- First sew the small background triangle and then the large triangle to each diamond. Trim excess fabric from both background triangles.
- Sew together the diagonal sections in each quadrant. Carefully pin the two sections such that the seams match exactly 1/4″ from the edge – similar to step 5.
- When all the quadrants are done, join them together like a four-patch, taking care to match the seams as before.
- Optional: Cut 4 2.5″ strips from the background and add a border all around if desired.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
I entered this in the Tips and Tutorials festival jointly hosted by Yvonne of Quilting Jetgirl and Cheryl of Meadow Mist designs in June 2018 and it won 1st place under Block and Pattern tutorials! Please visit the festival page and checkout all the great tips and tutorials.

Heather Dubrow's World, that she will not return to the Bravo hit reality series after five seasons.
"If you're wondering why I've decided to not come back, it wasn't an easy decision," Heather explains. "You know, it's hard to walk away from something, first of all, that's been successful for five years, and truly has given us so much. But I just feel like, right at this particular point in time, a couple of things [changed my mind]."
"First of all, my kids," she continues. "My oldest kids are now teenagers, and I just felt like they need to make their own decision about being on television and exposing their lives, and for me personally, I have some really cool, interesting opportunities that I want to explore. I don't know where they're going to go, but I want the opportunity to explore them."
"I felt like I was at a tipping point, and just… it was time," she says. "But, it's all positive and I wish them all the best."
Heather credits the show with making her a more adventurous person, taking her out of her comfort zone and affording her many "cool experiences."
"I will miss the girls," she adds.
Listen to Heather's announcement about leaving RHOC via Entertainment Tonight below!
Heather also released a statement to Bravo about the decision.
"After a lot of careful thought and deliberation, I have decided not to return to RHOC this season. These past 5 years have been an incredible journey and I'm so proud to have been a part of such an iconic piece of pop culture," Heather said in an exclusive statement to The Daily Dish. "I am so grateful to Evolution Media, Bravo and the whole NBCU family for all of the incredible experiences and the opportunities RHOC has afforded me and my family. However, at this point in my life, I have decided to go in another direction and do what's best for my family and career. Should I change my mind, I thank Andy Cohen, Evolution and Bravo for telling me that the door is always open."
Since joining RHOC in Season 7, we've watched Heather, her husband Terry Dubrow, and their four kids grow — and move — right before our eyes. During Season 11, the Dubrows worked to balance Terry's busy career (and the strains it sometimes put on their marriage and family), as well as the construction of the Dubrow Chateau, the family's swanky new O.C. crib, which features an insane hers closet complete with a Champagne doorbell.
Are you going to miss Heather? Sound off in the comment section below!

How to count cells: the advantages and disadvantages of the isotropic fractionator compared with stereology
Suzana Herculano-Houzel, Christopher S. von Bartheld, Daniel J. Miller and Jon H. Kaas (2015) Cell Tissue Research 360, 29-42
The number of cells comprising biological structures represents fundamental information in basic anatomy, development, aging, drug tests, pathology and genetic manipulations. Obtaining unbiased estimates of cell numbers, however, was until recently possible only through stereological techniques, which require specific training, equipment, histological processing and appropriate sampling strategies applied to structures with a homogeneous distribution of cell bodies. An alternative, the isotropic fractionator (IF), became available in 2005 as a fast and inexpensive method that requires little training, no specific software and only a few materials before it can be used to quantify total numbers of neuronal and non-neuronal cells in a whole organ such as the brain or any dissectible regions thereof. This method entails transforming a highly anisotropic tissue into a homogeneous suspension of free-floating nuclei that can then be counted under the microscope or by flow cytometry and identified morphologically and immunocytochemically as neuronal or non-neuronal. We compare the advantages and disadvantages of each method and provide researchers with guidelines for choosing the best method for their particular needs. IF is as accurate as unbiased stereology and faster than stereological techniques, as it requires no elaborate histological processing or sampling paradigms, providing reliable estimates in a few days rather than many weeks. Tissue shrinkage is also not an issue, since the estimates provided are independent of tissue volume. The main disadvantage of IF, however, is that it necessarily destroys the tissue analyzed and thus provides no spatial information on the cellular composition of biological regions of interest.

May 5, 2007 SaturdayAnnabel's legacy; Annabel's legacy to high schoolSECTION: Pg. 1LENGTH: 461 words
ANTONY Catt will never forget the telephone call that changed his life.
There was a shaky voice on the phone - he was from intensive care at Mona Vale Hospital but could not find the words to explain the devastating news.
The task was passed to Peter Catt who instead had to find the words to tell his son.
''Dad told me Annabel had taken ecstasy and that she was gone,'' Antony Catt told more than 400 students at Narrabeen Sports High School yesterday.
''I told both my parents that I loved them and they said how much they loved me. The phone call was very brief, none of us really knew what to say,'' he said.
''That is how the nightmare began.''
Yesterday, Anthony used the tragedy that ripped through his family to warn the students of the dangers of taking drugs.
Annabel, 20, died after taking ecstasy at the Good Vibrations music festival on February 17.
''She thought it was ecstasy but it wasn't - it was the far more toxic substance PMA,'' he said. ''Drug manufacturers sometimes pass PMA off as ecstasy because the chemicals that go into ecstasy are harder to get.
''The people who made the capsule that killed Annabel knew how deadly it was but they didn't care - they just wanted to make a quick buck, even if it killed someone.''
Annabel died early the following day after suffering violent fits.
The Catt family was at the school yesterday to help Mackellar MP Bronwyn Bishop officially open a refurbished dance room named in Annabel's honour.
Ms Catt was a dancer and a dance teacher. Antony said Annabel was on the organ donor register and the family would have been pleased if her death could have given life to others. But, tragically, only her corneas could be donated.
''Every other part of her body had been so destroyed by the drug rushing through her system that it was useless to anyone else,'' he said.
''It's horrible and it's extremely scary but this is perhaps the best example of how much damage this little capsule can do to your body.
''It wouldn't have mattered if it was the first, second or hundredth time Annabel took ecstasy, the result would be the same - she would be dead. Annabel's death demonstrates that you can experiment with drugs just once and end up in a coffin. What happened to Annabel could happen to anyone.''
The $150,000 refurbishment of the dance studio at the high school came from a federal grant, that Mr Catt said made his family proud.
''Hopefully Annabel's legacy will be there for generations of students to come,'' Mr Catt said .
Mr Catt's father, Peter, said he had anecdotal evidence that young people in the area had similarly been shaken out of their complacency about drugs by his daughter's death. ''Even if it only saves a few lives, it will be worth it,'' he said.

Dear sir
I have just read your posting and have felt compelled to right this short posting.
5 years ago i watched my brother die in hospital from ectasy i watched all his organs fail one at a time i saw him bleed from his ears eyes it was the worst thing ever. worst of all it was a few days from his 21st birthday his name was ROBERT IAN LEE and he was the world to me and i felt helpless.
What is worst that just for intrest sake i typed in his name and the word ectasy into google and no refrence came up about him the bad things about the drug nothing and right now i know that his death was for nothing because no one learns. whats the internet for.............
- kmfdm said...
Stories like this are why effective harm reduction programs are necessary. These deaths could have been prevented with pill testing programs like those in place in the Netherlands.
- iancong said...
I think that has to help. lets try and help in some way.
i would do anything to turn back time fro robert and maybe testing would have helped..
- heathenlegions said...
Stop the fda from prohibiting pill testing kits. Simple. Pill testing kits are hard to find, only very few sites have them. Many e users try buying from the eztest website with no luck because the u.s. ships it back. You won't, can't and never will stop people from taking drugs like ecstacy because they simply give kids a great vibe and most of the time it makes them happy. Blame it on prohibition and lack of knowledge and awareness! Kids will keep using, dealers will keep making money. No other way around it.
