A quick post in case anyone bought the idea that "Rice is hard to cook right."
When the topic of my dinner comes up, I hear a lot of people say "I like rice... I like the rice you get at Chinese restaurants!"
Its easy.
Start with a 2/1 Water to Rice ratio (I don't measure the water, but I'm comfortable with eye measurements)
(The rice will end up being a little more than the volume of water when it is done)
Bring to a rolling boil, turn it down to a proper "simmering" temperature, and add the rice (stir or no stir? seems to make no difference).
Set the lid slightly off to the side of the pot as to allow the steam to escape so it doesn't boil over
Check it in about 15 minutes, the kitchen will smell like rice.
(If you over cook it and the rice is sticking all to the inside of the pot, just soak it in warm water for an hour or so, it washes right off without ruining your sponges)
Each time just note the specifics of your set up, where to set your dials, cook times, less water for stickier rice, more water for well-cooked rice... Small things too like taking the pot off of the heat and closing the lid - letting it sit for the last 3-5m of cooking, adding other grains or beans, exchanging water for broth, using bullion in the water, salt and peppering the water... many things can help change the flavor. Pay attention to the small things, and soon you will be able to whip up tasty rice with predictable texture in copious amounts!
Anyway, many of yall probably use rice cookers or even have your own ways to do it, but in the interest of those who don't and who may want a dish that is low in oily fats and sodium to compliment their meals - this one is for you!
Peace Yall!

From Kevin Hines
Dear You,
More than anything I will express in this letter, I want you to remember this: cherish every day. Babatunde Olatunji once famously said-"Yesterday is history, tomorrow's a mystery, today is a gift, that is why they call it the present." I say this because in September of the year 2000 when I was nineteen years old, I attempted to end my life by suicide by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge. At the time, I believed I had to die-- and those thoughts were one of the many symptoms of my particular type of brain disease: bipolar disorder.
I am amazed that there are so many people, even today, who do not believe that mental illnesses exist. Maybe you know some of those people. Maybe they are your family, or your friends. And maybe they say that your feelings of sadness, anxiety, fear and even of suicide are not real.
However, I can tell you that they are real. Very real. After all, over 26.2 percent of the people in America every year are diagnosed with some sort of mental disorder every year-- that is one in four, or, over fifty million people! And if that is not "real" enough, did you know that over 1 million lose their lives every year to suicide?
I believe in your pain because I have lived it. But I also believe that you-- like me-- can live mentally well. 80-90% of those with a mental illness who seek treatment and follow it learn to live mentally well. It isn't going to be easy-- but trust me when I say it will be worth it.
For me, I began to follow a very specific treatment plan of talk therapy, education on my disorder, medication, proper sleep cycle and routine exercise. I also became a mental health advocate and a professional public speaker because helping others by telling my story is a part of my healing process, too. I urge you to seek out therapies and to find ones that works for you.
I write this letter for each and every one of you: for those who have lost someone to suicide, or to those who suffer from a mental illness. Always remember that there is hope, there is a future. And there is nothing more beautiful than today because you are alive.
Your friend,
Kevin Hines

Revell, Northbrook, Ill., will launch a new line of 1:24 cars designed by graffiti artist Swank 1. Lowriders in 1:24 scale will also be ready to ship in a line created by car designer Roberto Espinioza.
The Drifters line will include 22 models with real smoking wheels, just like the real thing. The Drifters line is based on the growing "drifting" craze brought over from Japan.When rear wheels are slipping at a greater angle than the front wheels, the car is drifting, or over-steering. The rear end of the car appears to chase the front end around a turn, while the front tires control the actual direction of the car. Drifter RJ DeVera will help launch the initial line with Revell.

Scientists are a step closer to understanding the mechanism behind the mysterious fluorescent light naturally produced by certain animals, a skill that may be useful in the field of biotechnology, according to a new study.
In the study published in Scientific Reports, researchers from the University of California, San Diego describe lancelets, marine invertebrates also known as "amphioxus" that are capable of producing a natural fluorescent glow. The fish-shaped animal possesses green fluorescent proteins (GFPs) that allow them to emit both very bright and much dimmer versions of the light – a rare capability in the animal kingdom.
Fluorescence is the process of blue "excitation" light into green "emission" light, and though the exact mechanism that controls this ability remains unknown, this study, researchers say, opens the door towards its understanding.
Lead author Dimitri Deheyn and his colleagues looked into the structural differences of the GFPs, and found that some variations exist at the nanoscale level that allows the sea creature to emit different brightness levels. These differences lie in the stiffness around the animal's "chromophore pocket," the area of proteins responsible for molecular transformation of light, and thus the different light intensities.

We often giggle at the fun Christmas song, "The Twelve Days of Christmas," as Perry Como, or even Kermit the Frog, sing out the words. I still remember as a little child never quite remembering the order until we got to the "FIVE GOLDEN RINGS." But it was always fun to sing along. That song, for years really meant nothing to me, until one specific year at Christmas.
My friends, Jim and Lynn, had been through some tough times and I had been through some as well. We had reached out as families to one another, and I felt so grateful to them. Lynn was my stability and a strong force as a friend to me (she still is these 22 years later)), and so I wanted to repay her.
Instead of getting her something for Christmas, I picked the 12 days BEFORE Christmas, and showed up every day at her door, singing the song I had re-written just for her. Each day, I brought a specific gift that suited her personality. Never anything big, but Christmas cookies, ornaments, a small piece of jewelry etc. Just to show her how thankful I was for her, each day before Christmas.
It dawned on me right now, today, that I should be doing the same thing BEFORE Thanksgiving. What would it look like if we celebrated the 12 days of Thanksgiving? We could take 12 days to begin to think through and processing what is valuable and important to us, and then begin to thank God, the Father, for all He has done to provide for us and bless us!
So, here we go!
On the first day of Thanksgiving, I feel blessed for my spouse. Now, if you don't have a spouse, fill that in with your closest friend or family member!
Last week, I drove through Elk River. Seven years ago, I lived there. I was single and broke. I was divorced and alone for the first time in my life. I drove past the yellow Grandma house with brown trim, and looked over at the backyard that I once mowed diligently week after week. I saw the garage that I stored my little blue grandma car in (Grandma Ida, then 95, decided she didn't need it anymore, and sold it to me with its sum total of 19,000 miles on it, for a mere 2400.00. And goodness, what a blessing, since it was all I could afford!) Down the highway I drove, and it came back to me, rushing like a mighty river, through my mind.
Seven years ago, my husband, Dean Weckwerth (Farmer Dean to me, and Deano to his family) stepped into my life through a short email. "If opposites attract, I sure hope we're opposite." A sweet bachelor farmer who lived in Benson, Mn. had given up hope to ever meet anyone with his farming responsibilities, but he decided one day to check out an online dating service, and there I was.
"Where's Benson? I've never heard of it." I asked him. We corresponded through email for about 3 weeks until he got the nerve to call me. Another 2 or 3 weeks and he asked me out on a date in a place called Litchfield, MN. I'd never heard of that one either. I walked away from that 3 hour date knowing "he's the one," as I told my mom on the phone. He was date number 24 on a list of 25 people, I told my pastor that I would agree to date. After that, I was done.
Dean has been a rock to our family. He has been a strong force to lean upon, a Godly provider, a kind heart, a funny sense of humor, a child-like awe for things he's never experienced, provided an example through his love for God and family like no other, and a wonderful fill- in father for my 3 girls. He is a fabulous grandfather and loves us and protects us daily.
To know that I received a second chance in life, to know that someone loves me for who I am, completely, and accepts my children as his own, is continually incredible.
There are days I wake up and just relish in the fact that I love someone so deeply who returns my love. But to know that this same man loves my children and our grandson is even beyond my wildest hopes and dreams.
Take some time right now, don't put it off, and go and thank your husband or wife for being in your life, for loving you, for caring about you, and for being married to you.
As I drove through Elk River, I picked up the phone and called my husband, who was busy delivering mail. I said, "Farmer Dean, I love you. Thanks for marrying me." "Wow, Kath, thanks for calling me." Pause…Pause…Pause… " You're Welcome! I love you too!" Nobody's ever loved Farmer Dean like Kathy. Nobody's ever loved Kathy like Farmer Dean.
You two are the sweetest couple I know !!!God is good to give you each other!! Thank both of you for sharing with us your lives thur Best Life!!!!Love and Prayers

But Prime Minister Dean Barrow didn't have a similar response for his colleague Deputy Prime Minister Hon. Patrick Faber who prior to Hon. Espat's comments, had gone off on a tirade. In fact, while the P.M. called for bi-partisanship at Friday's meeting, it was the Deputy Prime Minister who attacked the Opposition despite the call for rational discussion. Faber was in full attack-mode, it seems, because in one of his statements he attacked the Opposition, Kremandala, COLA and even the National Teachers Union in one swoop.
Honourable Patrick Faber - Deputy Prime Minister of Belize
"But we do not appreciate those on the other side pontificating as if though they are innocent, they are the ones looking out for Belize, they are the ones who are nationalistic because Madam Speaker, all will know that they are playing a sham, member for Lake I for instance, his families 'organization, they were the ones who were responsible for forming the entity COLA and all Belizeans know what COLA originally stands for; Citizens Organized Against Lord Ashcroft remember that, when it was that Lord Ashcroft made a move on Amandala they had the world to criticized about Lord Ashcroft we don't hear from COLA, we don't hear from BNTU, who is so out rightly so for Belize, we are on giving Lord Ashcroft back on all of this world he doesn't want me to talk about it Madam Speaker because as I've said they are the ones who have been wrapped up in bed with Lord Ashcroft and now will promise him all kinds of things, I want to say on record for the Belizean people Madam Speaker, that a vote for the People's United Party when the next elections comes around and is not toady as you were hoping for, that won't be announced right now we weh tek di full time."

To assess the carbon footprint of beverage cartons, numerous Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) have been undertaken by the industry and leading environmental research institutes. Most studies have shown that beverage cartons have the lowest carbon footprint in its core categories of milk and juice. Learn more about Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs).
The trees grown to produce the original wood fibre (and the new ones planted after harvest) help to mitigate
global warming, as they continually absorb CO2 in order to grow. As more trees are grown than are harvested this renewable resource not only benefits industry by providing a continual source of packaging raw material, it benefits the environment too. More...
In order to reduce its CO2 emissions, the beverage carton industry is continuously putting measures in place to use energy more efficiently and to use more renewable energy. From the choice of raw materials to the design of packaging, energy efficiency measures and use of renewable energy in production, ACE members strive to reduce carbon emissions at all stages of the life-cycle.
At the production stage, the highly energy-efficient processes used by the carton manufacturers reduce reliance on fossil fuel energy consumption. Manufacturers increasingly use certified renewable energy in their operations.
Some of the mills also distribute excess heat to the nearby communities (district heating), helping further to minimise fossil fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in their neighbourhoods. If this green energy was not generated and sold, it would have to be bought from non-renewable sources. The energy is generated from burning wood residues (bark, small branches, sawdust) and 'black liquor' (the hemicellulose- and lignine-containing residue from the pulping process).
Beverage carton manufacturers have reduced their CO2 emissions by energy-efficient measures and by purchasing certified renewable energy. Two of our member companies were elected to the WWF Climate Savers programme as recognition for their track record and the seriousness of their future commitments.
Beverage carton producers are constantly monitoring and striving to reduce their products' environmental impacts along the life cycle, especially greenhouse gas emissions. For this reason the non-paper components of the package are limited to a minimum - without the negative impact on the package's health and safety requirements as well as its consumer functionalities.
Beverage carton producers have designed cartons to be cuboid and lightweight in nature so that they are space- and transport efficient, thereby minimising fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
As cartons are only formed and filled on customer sites, most cartons are delivered in giant rolls of packaging material or boxes of flattened packages. Two trucks can carry around 1.2m empty one-litre cartons.
A truck loaded with filled cartons transports about 95% product and only 5% packaging (including secondary packaging and palettes). Fuel consumption, and consequently CO2 emissions, are therefore much lower compared with the transportation of more space-consuming or heavier packages.
Once it has been used, the beverage carton is recovered or recycled, completing its life-cycle with a further action to lower the overall CO2 impact. With recycling continuously growing, the industry helps moving used beverage cartons away from landfill, thereby continuously reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Recycling original materials in beverage cartons into new products helps lengthen the use of wood fibres as a temporary carbon sink and a valuable new material, and, hence, optimises the use of forest-based renewable resources.

I literally grew up on this trail, back when it was unpaved, and was just some weird, seldom-used backwater ie., prior to the early 1980s or thereabouts, at which point it started getting much more developed & popular. I have seen (quite large!) blue herons on (or adjacent) to this trail many times, and in 1995, I once saw a bobcat (at night, between Vasona dam and Lark Avenue). There are many turtles, and about 40 years ago, I once saw a Northern Pike (just behind Vasona dam). I've witnessed scores of salmon spawning at the Camden Avenue dam.
Gorgeous day in Half Moon Bay - what a terrific opportunity to explore this trail! It appears that many enjoy its wonders as well...pretty remarkable, considering this is the middle of the week! There were walkers, bikers, and dogs on the path - everyone was very respectful of passing each other and sharing the width of the path.
Nice to have the ocean 'on your shoulder' as you move up and down the path, as well as seeing all the wildlife - hawks, herons, rabbits to name a few!
I rode part of this trail last week, from Pacific Grove up to the town of Seaside. It is quite scenic, in spots, but you also ride through some urban congestion and cross a number of busy intersections. It's also not very well marked. I got some advice from Adventures By the Sea, an outfitter located at the beginning of the trail, that was very helpful given the relative lack of signage. Maybe this trail gets quieter and more protected from traffic as you get further from Monterey, but I decided to turn around and ride part of the 17 Mile Drive instead when I hit the busy intersection at Seaside. If I try it again, I think I'd rather start in Castroville, at the northern end, and ride south.
Whenever we visit the Monterey Peninsula, we always make sure to ride our bikes or walk multiple times on the Monterey Bay Coastal Recreation Trail. Very few places in the world can match the beauty and splendor of this trail, especially between Lovers Point Park in Pacific Grove to the Wharf in Monterey. This portion of the trail is most certainly perfect for visitors and walking enthusiasts.
Beyond the wharf up to Castroville (the Artichoke Capital of the World) is for individuals looking for a much more intense workout.
If I lived on the peninsula, I'd be somewhere on that trail every day!
On a gray May morning in 2018, my wife and I headed north from Pacific Grove to ride the West Cliff Path. We parked on Swanton Blvd., which is pretty much right at the trailhead, and then headed down the smooth asphalt path/promenade.
The path has spectacular ocean views, plenty of benches to relax upon, restored Victorian homes, art installations, a surf museum, huge amounts of surfers, an extra long pier with a residence of sea lions, a multitude of photo ops, and even an amusement park when you reach the end.
At the trail's end consider continuing across the San Lorenzo River and navigating some quiet residential streets to get a better view of the Walton Lighthouse and look back up the coastline.
Even though we rode on a weekday morning, the path had quite a bit of use by walkers, joggers, dog walkers, amusement park goers, and surfers. It slows you down a bit, but that's OK since to ride this trail is all about the essence of the scenery!
With the exception of one hill as you descend the cliff down to sea level near the pier, it's all flat which is perfect for a couple of sixty somethings.
All in all, it's a path to be taken slowly and to be savored, an ideal experience!
Started at the Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park in Richmond and traveled south (clockwise) along the bay to the Central Ave intersection and return. A good portion of the trail is wide and plenty of room for walkers and bikers. The last couple miles we rode is a bit narrower, still enough room for both. Trail condition is great. A number of interpretative signs are placed, discussing the history and nature of this area. Well worth the visit. Take time to see the Rosie Visitor Center. Luck was with us when we visited and were able to attend a talk by the National Park Service's oldest park ranger (97 yrs old). Betty Reid Soskin is an articulate speaker and recounted her time living in the area and working in the ship yards during WWII. If given the opportunity don't miss out. Noted that the trail in this area had great signage and shouldn't have any trouble following the route. Some of the trail going north (counterclockwise) was on the street with designated bike lanes. Looking forward to doing other sections of this trail when we visit again in the future.
Only rode a short distance of this trail from Trader Joe's parking lot down to the West Cliff Drive Bicycle Path. Some traffic on this trail but not as much as the West Cliff path. Path condition was fine, not a real wide path but ok. A number of homeless folks hanging out on and along the path. Was panhandled while in Trader Joe's parking lot. At no time did we feel uncomfortable with environment, just unfortunate.
Started the ride at Trader Joe's parking lot along the Santa Cruz Riverwalk, rode downstream to the intersection with the West Cliff Drive trail. Then rode up the coast to the end of this trail. Trail in good condition and nice surface but lots & lots of other folks on the trail, mostly walkers. Great scenery of Santa Cruz bay, coastline, and surfers along the trail. So much traffic on the trail made it challenging. Once at end of trail decided it would be easier to ride the road. So on return trip stayed on the parallel road and sailed along without obstruction. Consider this as the return option.
We rode this in two sections.
First section started at Casa Verde Way and rode North to the intersection of Lapis Road and Hwy 1. Missed the first left turn to go over dunes (no directional signage) and after a short distance realized we needed to back track. Then at Lapis Road & Hwy 1 the trail appeared to end at this intersection (no directional signage), could have explored down the highway at little to find remainder of trail but by then had ridden about 15 miles, so called it at that point. We did divert off of this trail to ride the parallel Beach Range Road trail in Fort Ord Dunes State Park. That road is much wider and nicer to ride. Depending how long of ride you want but recommend ending at the North end of Beach Range Road and then return.
Second Section: Started again at Casa Verde Way heading south to end of trail at Lovers Point and return. This portion of trail has many more walkers and bikers but trail is wide enough for all and in very good condition. This portion has some great scenery, a number of interpretive signs along the way, stopped to watch the Harbor Seals at a number of stops. Highly recommend this portion of trail.
Connected on to this trail from the Monterey Bay Coastal Trail at the south end and rode to north end of trail. Nice wide paved trail/road that used to be a main road for Fort Ord (no longer used for vehicle traffic). At south end of trail a number of homeless camps and trash tossed around. Nothing threatening just an eye sore. A spur trail leads down to some old military munitions storage bunkers. A few information panels are along the trail. I went through basic training at Fort Ord and the trail passed by one of the rifle ranges we used, brought back some memories. Much better, wider, trail than the parallel running Monterey Bay trail.
Thursday, January 3, 2019
My wife and I started this ride at the northern most entrance at the corner of San Bruno Avenue West and Skyline Blvd. We parked at a dirt church parking lot across from the trail head that a sign said was open to the public. TrailLinks indicates there is parking at the San Andrea Trail parking lot about a ½ mile down the trail along Skyline Blvd. It not really a parking lot but more of a wide spot on the road. I actually didn't recognize it on the first pass as there was only one car parked there.
Heading south from the trail head (you begin on the two lane paved San Andreas Trail) you begin a rolling incline as you ride along next to Skyline Road. After about 3 miles you will top out as you head toward the San Andreas Lake and begin a long 400 foot drop over the next mile or two to the San Andreas Dam. Pedaling is optional and by this time you have passed at least one bathroom…expect to see more.
By the time you reach the dam, you will be on the Sawyer Camp Recreational Trail. The view from the dam was spectacular, particularly as it is quite green this time of year. There are plenty of tree covered sections to make you really feel you are outdoors. A pretty nice feeling for being in the "city". There are also several historic sites marked along the trail.
After crossing the dam your drop further down into the creek. The trees provide quite a bit of shading which would be good in the summer months but got quite chilly for our ride. There are picnic tables and of course, another bathroom.
You will eventually end up along the shore of the Lower Crystal Springs Reservoir. Again, spectacular views and a ton of friendly deer. We also began to encounter more and more hikers as this section is easily accessible from the entrance at the Sawyer Camp trail head next to the Crystal Springs Road and is pretty flat all the way to the bottom of the San Andreas Dam. Not too much of a problem for our week day winter ride, but I expect this would get very crowded on weekends and summer.
We made our turnaround at the Sawyer Camp Trailhead (10 miles from our start) but not before making a side trip about a mile and a half north UP Hwy 35 to the Crystal Springs Golf course for lunch. The menu was typical bar food. The cheeseburger was huge and tasty. I would suggest splitting one as it came with a very large order of fries (my wife got onion rings). It was a small restaurant/bar overlooking the driving range.
My wife and I have Specialized Como electric bikes so the pedal assisted ride back up the trail was not difficult. But the incline was not that steep and was steady over a couple miles. Good gearing and little patience should not dampen your ride.
Total round trip (including the 1-1/2 mile one way side trip for lunch) was 22 miles.
This was our first ride of 2019 on a route we had never been before and we have lived in the Bay Area for 30 years. A hearty thanks to TrailLink for highlighting this on their web page!
It's tough to go a constant speed on your bike because it's congested on the weekends. Lovely otherwise

|Me in Ole Yeller! P-51 Mustang
Rexburg, Idaho: Flight Museum and Airshow
The town in which I live has a flight museum, mainly devoted to WWII propeller driven aircraft, but a few exhibits that are older and some that are newer. Rexburg is a small town, so to have this kind of history is pretty cool.
The main feature of the museum are the P-51 Mustangs. The P-51 Mustang was a single engine fighter that was designed and built later in the war by the Americans and the British. The airplane was an American design and American engineering with a British made Rolls Royce engine.
Before the Mustang, the heavy bombers flying over Germany had a terrible attrition rate. They were being shot down by the Luftwaffe at an incredibly high rate. The fighter escorts they had before the Mustang were short range and couldn't go the distance. The German air force knew the range of the previous fighters and would hang out at the turnaround point and then shoot the bombers out of the sky.
That all changed when the Mustang came about. The Mustang had a long enough range to fly from England to Berlin and back again. Not only that but it was fast, elegant, could fly at high altitudes or low. The Mustang had wing mounted machine guns and could carry a torpedo beneath. The wings were also fitted with drop tanks to increase the range. There was no other plane that could compete with the P-51 Mustang.
There were other planes that on a single attribute may be better than the Mustang, but no other airplane did everything as well as the Mustang did. Once the Mustang entered the war, we lost very few heavy bombers because of it. When Hermann Goring, the head of the Nazi Luftwaffe saw the first Mustang fly over Berlin, he declared the war to be lost.
Today there are an estimated 150 P-51 Mustangs in the world that are flight worthy. Rexburg, Idaho has three of them on display most of the time. Most of the time, meaning when they aren't in the air...
The Mustang is my very favorite military aircraft of any war at any time. It is truly an elegant bird.
Last year, for the Memorial Day airshow, one of the curators of the flight museum asked me to supply him with costumed actors to work as ushers for the event. I helped him out and in return I got to sit in the most famous P-51 of all, Ole Yeller! Old Yeller still has the speed record for a single engine, propeller driven airplane flying coast to coast in the United States. It was owned by Bob Hoover and he set that record years ago. He sold it to a man here in Rexburg who is an airplane enthusiast. The Smithsonian wanted it, but they would have put it in a static display and it would have never flown again. Hoover sold it to the gentleman in Rexburg because he knew Ole Yeller would continue to fly. He couldn't conceive of a world in which Ole Yeller wouldn't fly.
Every year on Memorial Day there is an airshow, free of charge for the public here. 50,000 people show up sometimes. Typically, my family and I drive down to Moreland, Idaho to visit my father's grave site and we miss the airshow. Last year, I caught the first part of it. While my family was getting ready, I walked over to the park with my camera and took a few photos. Sadly, we had to leave before they brought out the Mustangs.
Here are some pictures.
|Starting with Ole Yeller

All in all, this is a pretty cool place to live. It's a small town, and yet there is so much to do here. What other town this size could boast three P-51 Mustangs?

14 Feb is for couples who are madly in love!
Excuse me? Are you serious? Every calendar has the date 14 Feb and it is visible to everyone no matter if they are married, engaged, single or widowed! Why forcefully presenting it as a no-singles day? Why? Open a newspaper and you'll see different companies with huge Valentine's Day special discounts on their products. It will seem as if those discounts are only for couples and singles are forbidden from availing them. Open Facebook and you'll be bombarded with extra-cheesy Valentine's Day memes and wishes everywhere. Makes me sick!
These are the reasons why I thought I should come up with a 'Singles' Guide to Valentine's Day'. However, if you are single then you don't need a guide! I've listed a few things that you can do to celebrate your kind of Valentine's Day.
Because, no matter what relationship status you have, you can always be your own Valentine!
Because if you are single, you are not going to get a break from your work! 14 Feb is just another Tuesday for you!
If you don't have an office to attend and a boss to please, then book get yourself an appointment at a salon or spa and relax. This is the best way you can avoid your flooding Facebook timeline and never-stopping WhatsApp notifications.
No matter how much you've grown up, your mom will always be your best friend. Take her out for lunch or dinner. Spend some time with her. Mother's Day is not the only day to have a date with your mother; Valentine's Day could be another one!
What is more de-stressing than an impromptu shopping session? There is always an excuse to go shopping!
Strike out all the romantic Bollywood movies from your list. Instead, go for thrillers and horrors. Give some healthy food to your brain cells.
Although I am in a relationship and I love how people celebrate Valentine's Day, I wanted to write this article from a single's perspective. I have no have no hard feelings for those who celebrate the day of love. Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!
Editor's Note: Just for the record, 13 Feb is also celebrated as Madly in Love with ME Day and 15 Feb is Singles' Appreciation Day. 🙂

Ben Hewitt, Corkcicle's inventor and company founder, simply loves wine and hated that there wasn't a better solution to bothersome wine buckets. In 2011, Ben started tinkering in his garage, creating prototype after prototype. Aided with the marketing expertise of his friend and business partner, Stephen Bruner, the idea quickly became a reality. As the manufacturing process began, Eric Miller, VP of Sales at a Fortune 100 medical device company, joined the team and has been making it rain Corkcicles ever since. Together, the three have built a brand that represents true American ingenuity and captures the essence of the entrepreneurial spirit. Proving that great ideas still matter and that with hard work and great partners, anything's possible.

Eucalyptus obliqua
|Messmate stringybark
|Scientific classification
E. obconica
|Binomial name
|Eucalyptus obconica
Eucalyptus obliqua, commonly known as the brown top, brown top stringbark, messmate, messmate stringybark, stringybark or Tasmanian oak,[1] is a hardwood tree native to south-eastern Australia.
It grows as a tree up to 90 metres tall, with a trunk up to three metres in diameter. It has a lignotuber, so burnt or coppiced trees sometimes recover in mallee form. It has thick, rough, stringy bark, and glossy green leaves from six to 22 centimetres long, and 1½ to 7 centimetres wide. Inflorescences consist of seven to 15 white flowers. The fruits are barrel-shaped.[2] Currently, the tallest known specimen is 86 m tall and located in Tasmania.[3] Historically, qualified surveyors have documented trees up to 98.8 m (324 ft).[4]
E. obliqua has the taxonomic distinction of being the first Eucalyptus species discovered by Europeans and published. It was first collected in 1777 during Cook's third expedition; the botanist David Nelson collected the specimen from Bruny Island, an island which is part of Tasmania. This specimen was sent to the British Museum in London, where it was examined by the French botanist Charles Louis L'Héritier de Brutelle. L'Héritier used it as the type species for a new genus, which he published in 1788.[5] He named the genus Eucalyptus from the Greek eu ("good, well") and calyptos ("covered") in reference to the flower bud cap. He gave this species the name obliqua from the Latin obliquus ("oblique"), in reference to the leaf bases of unequal length.[6] Thus the full name of the species is Eucalyptus obliqua L.Her.[7]
The species has a great many synonyms:[7]
- Eucalyptus nervosa Miq. nom. illeg.
- Eucalyptus fabrorum Schltdl.
- Eucalyptus falcifolia Miq.
- Eucalyptus pallens DC.
- Eucalyptus heterophylla Miq.
- Eucalyptus procera Dehnh.
- Eucalyptus obliqua var. degressa Blakely
- Eucalyptus obliqua var. megacarpa Blakely
- Eucalyptus obliqua L.Her. var. obliqua
Distribution and habitat[edit]
E. obliqua is widespread in cooler areas of south eastern Australia. It occurs from Kangaroo Island, through southeast South Australia, throughout Victoria and Tasmania, mainly east of the tablelands in New South Wales, with a few populations extending into southern Queensland. Thus the overall range of latitude is 28–43½°S. It occurs from sea level up to elevations of 1475 metres in the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales. The climate is humid or subhumid, with temperatures ranging from cool to warm, and annual rainfall ranging from 500 to 2400 millimetres. Severe winter frosts are common, severe drought extremely uncommon.[8]
It occurs on a wide range of soils in hilly or mountainous areas. In cool mountainous areas it forms tall open-forest with other Eucalyptus species such as E. fastigata (brown barrel), E. nitens (shining gum), E. cypellocarpa (mountain grey gum), E. viminalis (manna gum) and E. delegatensis (alpine ash).[8]
One of the most important Australian hardwoods, E. obliqua is often sold with E. regnans (Mountain Ash) as "Vic Ash" or "Tasmanian oak". It is slightly denser that E. regnans - estimates of density range from 720 kg/m3[9] to 830 kg/m3[8] - and harder too. The sapwood is pale brown, the heartwood light brown. It has an even texture, with straight grains sometimes interlocked, and well-defined rings. Gum veins are common.[8][9]
The timber has moderate hardness and strength, but low durability. It splits easily, and is easily worked, glued and stained; it is also suitable for steam bending. It is mostly used for pulp production and for construction and manufacture, especially in house building, joinery, flooring, and furniture.[8][9]

'Hardcore Henry' Is A First-Person POV Action Movie That Looks Awesome
While many movies have used first-person shooting for certain scenes, Hardcore Henry is a completely first-person shot action film. It looks more like a video game than a full-length movie which will be released in theaters.
The movie is shot entirely from first-person POV of the main character. We can only see his arms and legs and he remains silent through the whole film. The film is full of intense violent scenes that we experience first hand through Henry.
Waking up after being brought back from the dead, Henry doesn't remember anything. His destroyed body is given bionic arms and legs with more power than any human. From there we join Henry on an intense mission to save his kidnapped wife.
Even though I'm getting a headache from watching the trailer, this movie looks pretty awesome. For anyone who loves first person shooting games, Hardcore Henry is probably for you. Or just anyone who wants to experience getting punched multiple times and killing a bunch of people.

Holy Roar Records has now been operational, at least in some capacity, since early 2006. We started releasing music in July 2006 and as I type this it is Monday 19th October 2009 and we have 37 releases under our belts. Apart from the odd tiny typo, or slight change in colour to a packaging or vinyl, we have never fucked up the audio or presentation of our releases. Hell it should be obvious that we are meticulous about this shit if you look through the presentation and quality of our releases! I'm hoping that comes across more as fact, rather than arrogance.
On Saturday 17th October 2009 at approximately 5.45pm I was sat in Soho's premier hardcore hangout (aka Bodeans BBQ) chowing down on a sweet combination of chicken wings, blue cheese sauce and a Soho Special (just go look that one up yourself – http://www.bodeansbbq.com/) with Betty Pariso bassist Peter in tow. I was totally high on endorphins and sleep deprivation from a ridiculous Friday night/Saturday morning. My phone rings. It's Max, the drummer from Holy State.
"This better be a social call Max," says I, firm believer in a work life balance wherever possible. "It would be if you hadn't pressed the demo version of 'Urges' on our split seven-inch picture disc with Pulled Apart By Horses." My jaw dropped and a mushy combination of BBQ food rolled from my mouth. FUCK.
It's one of those hideous situations where there is almost nothing you can do. The 500 7"s are pressed and out there and we are, frankly, too small a label to recall them where we can and repress it. It's just not viable. All I can do is grovel and offer my profuse apologies to Holy State. I was fully aware that this was a version recorded live that was essentially a collection of ideas at that point, yet there it was sat on my computer next to the real fully recorded version and I can only assume human error got the best of me. I guess it happens to us all at some point surely? Yes? Agree with me here? Please?
I guess the nerds out there will lap this up. The demo version will never appear anywhere other than on the vinyl. There will never be a digital file of it. Small recompense for all though perhaps – If you buy the seven-inch from Holy Roar you get the brand new single from Pulled Apart By Horses, this mishap of the 'Urges' demo version from Holy State and you get emailed mp3s of the PROPER version of 'Urges' as well as the PABH track.
Or, as way of a sorry to Holy State themselves, if you just wish to hear the real version of 'Urges' here it is, hosted by NME.com for one week only as a free download.
Right-click and save-as to download Holy State's 'Urges'here.

What Is a Real Writer?
A real writer is interested in the natural world, even when writing her own memoir. She is interested in the way the sun moves around the earth, she is interested in the fantastical formations clouds make, she is interested in the musty smell of wet concrete after a rain, she is interested in the sting of pine boughs slapping her face on a windy day, she is interested in the sound of insects buzzing around offal, she is interested in the cowlick in a bus passenger's hair, she is interested in the odd scar on a man's otherwise pristine briefcase, she is interested in a child's intake of breath just before it begins to cry… In other words, a writer's interests stretch beyond her own flesh. She is continually fascinated with the world and all the wondrous and horrible things in it – even when she believes they don't personally impact her. Otherwise she's not truly writing, she's just typing love letters to herself.
Chances are that if you've never been accused of being "nosy," you're going to have a hard time becoming a writer. Real writers are so enamored of, so obsessed with, so appalled by the human condition that even with a broken leg they'll hobble out the door to eavesdrop on a conversation down the street. Real writers are nosy people. If something's happening to anyone anywhere at any time, they want to know about it. And first hand, whenever possible. They want to know every sloppy detail of a friend's messed-up love affair and how she felt when she finished the Boston Marathon. That's why so many novelists start out as journalists (you can't beat being paid not to mind your own business). That's why when tragedy strikes, the first question a journalist asks is, "How do you feel?"
Real writers are interested in emotions other than their own. They want to know how you felt when your house was foreclosed on, how you felt when your son first nursed at your breast, how you felt several years later when he shipped off to Afghanistan, they want to know why you can't stand the sight of blood, they want to know why you prefer country life to the city, they want to know how you felt when the man who raped you was found not guilty.
Real writers are emotional vampires. Allow them access and they'll suck the emotion right out of you. Not out of malice -- far from it -- but because they need to write it down so that others can feel the way you feel, and thus develop the most precious attribute of true humanity: empathy. When real writers write their books, their stories, their poems, and their articles, they want to convey to people they will probably never meet the feelings of a complete stranger. They want you to feel that stranger's humanity and to recognize it in yourself.
That's because real writers recognize one great truth: we are all related. Each of us has a common ancestor – the paleontologists have named her "Mitochondria Eve" -- and our many-times-great-grandmother was born around 3.2 million years ago in Africa's Olduvai Gorge. Like it or not, we are all long-lost sisters and brothers. In opening up our distant kin's heart to us, real writers remind us of our shared humanity. Real writers will always do that -- it's their job -- and they will continue to do it in darkness and in light, whether surrounded by laughter or by ashes.

What a truly wonderful description of a REAL writer. You've hit it on the nose.

I figured Balzac would have something to say on this subject and googled Balzac and curiosity and came upon "Fully justifying Henry James' belief that the great writer is one on whom "nothing is lost," Balzac finds significance in data most of us would dismiss as too trivial or out-of-the-way to warrant our attention.
Loved your comment. Don Hausrath

Agree, Betty. I feel the same way about "I have a book in me" by people yet to write anything bookish.

As a freelance marketing and technical writer, I'd often lament that everyone thinks they can write just because they made it through third grade, because so few people (in the businesses I was working in) actually understood how to craft succinct, correct, persuasive sentences.
Betty, you're right on, for similar reasons, I think. Liking words isn't enough. Knowing how to use big words correctly isn't enough. You've got to be trying to convey something more than just the meanings of words you're using.

Betty, this is so good I had to save a copy. I'll probably steal from it from time to time.
Thank you.

The writer's greatest tribute -- worth stealing from. My particular favorite gem: "a writer's interests stretch beyond her own flesh." Very well spoken.

This is a terrific piece. I love how you built it to conclude with -- Each of us has a common ancestor – the paleontologists have named her "Mitochondria Eve"
We've all met characters like your memoirist - and they will talk your ear off at a party.
A real writer is often told, "My, you're a good listener."

And when they've read something disappointingly dull, real readers respond by posting an essay brimming with insight and inspiration.
Thanks for sharing this, Betty.

You are so right. We need every drop of information we can glean in observation and listening, to form the people who live within the pages of our books. Listening, observing is as much research as that which we consider the tradional kind found in libraries and on the internet.

I almost didn't write "Real Writer," because I'm usually slow to condemn anyone's writing. But that memoir had me so irritated for so many reasons that I just couldn't keep my mouth shut. Thanks for all the comments!

So tell me, Betty, how do you really feel? :-)
Great piece!

Great comments.
Now I wonder if when someone says: "I write" . . . .should I ask whether or not they're a REAL writer....
Then again, I might get the reply: "whadda' you mean 'real'?"
That could get complicated...;)

Good post, Betty. Well-said. We can't just be "born" writers, we have to continue to learn and improve our craft--that's what I love about writing.
When I first started submitting, a criticism I received was that my characters were "flat" and that I didn't seem to know my characters. Well, I bristled to myself, I'm writing about family, how can I NOT know my characters?
Well, I took some writing classes and I learned why my characters were described as "flat." And I'm still constantly working on improving my character development, description, emotions, plotlines, etc. It's an on-going journey!

Great post, Betty. Emotion and character bring books alive. And that point-of-view connection and opinion about what's described make them memorable.

All the commenters who've preceded me have probably said it better than I can. If you aren't interested in what's going on outside of your life, if you have no empathy for other humans, whether you like them (or even know them) or not, then you'll never succees as a novelist. Great blog post, Betty.

Man! Talk about zeroing in on the subject! Great piece on Related Emotional Vampires. Though, some are not so much vampires as simply very good at understanding their emotional trek (or the truth about the scar on a man's brief case) is universal to the human condition and able to write it as such. I'm forwarding your link to writer friends.

I doubt there's any such person as a "born writer". Still, people can be born with an aptitude for words, just as they can have an inbuilt musical r mathematical aptitude from Day 1. That's only a beginning, though; they are at the starting-gate of a particular track, and if they're going to race along it, let alone win, they've a lot of work to do. Thanks for such an interesting and thought-provoking post.

That's so true. It makes me feel better about being "nosy." LOL
Real writers do have those ingredients.
Sorry it took me so long to make this comment.

Abandoned and illegally parked motor vehicles
Abandoned Vehicles
It is illegal to park a vehicle which is unregistered and/or unwarranted on Council road reserve. From time to time vehicles are abandoned on roads and road reserve. If you discover an unregistered and/or unwarranted vehicle please contact our Roading Department or phone 03 3148816
Once an abandoned vehicle has been identified a Council Officer will add a 'Sticker' to the vehicle and try to make contact, in writing, with the owner. In most cases the owner will have 10 days from the date of the letter to remove the vehicle.
Failure to do any of the following will result in the removal and eventual disposal of the vehicle:
- to remove the vehicle,
- it is parked in a dangerous way
- is causing a nuisance, or
- to make contact with The Council,
Note, that the vehicle is deemed to have no monetary value to council. All costs, where possible, will be passed on to the last registered owner. (As per Local Government Act (No. 6).
We prefer to work with owners to discuss a way forward. Please talk to us if you find yourself in this position.

We would have been friends if we didn't hate each other.
You're okay if you adjust your expectations to your environment.
If only I'd noticed this when I was younger.
After I saw a man at a urinal talking to his dick in a foreign language, I realized he was speaking on his phone.
I wish they'd think of another example of the intrinsically obvious.
When the director said, "Flex to show your muscle," I didn't tell him I already was.
Success off-off-Broadway meant that the stairway leading to the space you were performing in didn't small of urine.
Much of the music of the early centuries of classical music is boring because it wasn't meant for listening – not as we do, in recordings or sitting in a concert hall – but was played while people were doing other things, like dancing, praying, shmoozing, or carousing.
