"I don't know who the hell we think we are," my husband said, as he mimed devil horns behind the Dervish's head.
He was referring to us considering having another child when our first is more than we can usually handle.
She hasn't been feeling so hot. Well, unless you count feverish. She is also teething, drooly, and constipated. So you can't blame her for being shrill and inconsolable. So much about how she feels and lately, so much of what she does, seems totally out of our control.
Two years ago today, I was in the middle of my induction, and broke into tears a number of times out of frustration (we weren't getting anywhere) and fear (nothing like waiting for the unknown but having a feeling it means pain). I was powerless against moving forward with this process.
Like all moms say, it was well beyond worth it.
Two years later, the Dervish is acrobatic in her endeavor to remain her own person. She has never appreciated restraints of any kind. I struggle to preserve her boundless spirit within the confines of safety and discipline. Her carseat is a rocketship. The nail clippers are her personal beauty parlor. Let's throw socks in the laundry basket instead of cups at my head. Please don't let me run out of ideas. I have so much left to do.
We, her parents, are the potential providers of her future siblings, should we be so lucky. At least we can control our intent in this instance, even if the outcome is out of our juridiction. So now what?
My husband pulls the Dervish in a wagon. She is wearing an orange sunsuit and a frown. Her curls are wilted. She, like her parents, has had enough for one day.
"So," I say to him. "Even after the day we just had, do you still feel compelled to move forward?"
"Oddly, yes," he admits. "I can't even explain why."
I am so relieved. We are on exactly the same page. That's really the best you can hope for.
Written 7/21:
The Dervish pads into our room at 4:47 am with mouth owies. The hellish fever is, thankfully, gone. But that doesn't signal that teething is almost over. It means textbook hand, foot and mouth disease.
Happy Birthday, I tell her sweet face.
Get up, she chirps back, beating the neighborhood birds to the punch.
This child's parents are lunatics. There is no other explanation.

I love Divisoria! It's the mother of all bargain places.. Some even go far as to say that "If you can't find it in Divisoria, it doesn't exist at all!" Haha, I think that is probably true.. You can buy almost anything here at bargain prices. But do check out the goods first before buying it!
Note: This place is really crowded, take care of your belongings, prepare to sweat and bring along a shopping bag to put together your purchases.
My best finds in there?
if you're crafty and likes to make creative projects by yourself, Tabora St. is a must-visit! The street is breeming with stores with beads, ribbons, lace, party giveaways and more.
On Tabora St., check out also the stores selling wholesale fashion accessories, wallets and lots of other trinkets..Found in one of these stores 8 pcs coin purse for only P120! That's only P15 each and its of good quality..
Cloth per meter/yard is the cheapest here. I love buying curtains and cotton clothes for sewing into nice pillowcases, bedsheets. And its so much more cheaper than buying ready-made one's from the malls. Although if you're looking for ready-made bedsheets and pillowcases, you can find some in Divi too for about P150, you can get a queen sized cotton bedsheet!
I buy dishwashing liquid (P25/bottle), toilet paper (P80/20 rolls) in 168 or Divisoria Mall.
If you're planning a party, visit Divisoria Mall and the mall at the back of it (forgot the name..). This one is your one-stop party accessories shop! Don't bring your kid here though, their eyes might fall out of their sockets with the toys they'll see here and your pockets in real danger.
Vegetables and fruits are real steals here too.
Of course, when you're indulging yourself with a little retail therapy, it should end with a hearty meal! Try Pancit Guisado @ the Foodcourt of 168! Get one big plate more than enough for 4 persons for only P60 with free pandesal bread on the side..Yummy!

Today was spent with our kids, my parents, and my BFF and her hubby & daughter at our house. It was a nice laid back sort of day with lots of food and random geekiness (playing with new computer gadgets & software, Little Man's new WiiMusic game, and a round of "Lord of the Rings" game that hubby got several years ago for Christmas and rarely gets to play).
Tomorrow is the gathering of my husband's family. We go to his parents' place and enjoy more merriment and tons of food (despite the fact that the ice storm earlier this week prevented my m-i-l from making her pre-holiday grocery run). One of my brother-in-laws will be there ("Uncle Matt!"), hubby's uncle and aunt, his grandmothers and of course his parents. I suspect a phone call will be made to my sister-in-law in Texas who will be celebrating with her new hubby and the other brother-in-law. The three of them decided not to make the trip up this year. So, it'll be like something is missing, but we'll have a good time regardless.
The next day, we get together with my brother & sister-in-law and my parents. We're not doing our usual fondue dinner this year, but Dad's making crab cakes and I'm sure there will be the usual round of board games after dinner.
The following week will be filled with small gatherings of close friends, some of whom we see only at Christmas and on rare unexpected visits.
And this continues through to the huge family gathering of my mom's extended family on New Year's Day.
I guess I'm having a hard time getting into the "Christmas vibe" this year. I mean, I'm enjoying time with people that I love, don't get me wrong... but there just seems to be a lack of the "magic" that I used to feel around the holidays when I was a kid. I'm trying hard to make sure my kids still get to experience it, but I have to wonder if I am succeeding in creating that for them.
Frankly, this year has been rough for me. There have been a lot of tears in our house (especially lately), and those tears are definitely dampening the holiday spirit around here. Today was a good start for us in enjoying family time together, but I know my fuse is still short, and grouchy kids (from the crazy holiday schedules and strange eating habits) aren't really helping me much.
I'm hoping that in the next few days we can regain some of that "joy" and with that, perhaps a little Christmas magic. I'm trying to see Christmas through the eyes of my five-year-old, but even he's feeling a bit "glazed over" with his usual winter-long respiratory ailments that make him feel miserable.
So... No matter what holiday you celebrate, this is for everyone I love (including myself), a reminder of the true magic of Christmas...

More Bang for the Buck
Thank you for the question, James. This is indeed proof that I don't know everything. I am still stuck on the question "what was there before the universe that allowed something to go 'bang!' in the first place?".
Personally, I like the universe-in-a-grain-of-sand theory of everything. It is infinite both ways with no beginning or ending.

I'd like to suggest the book A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. It covers, well, everything you could want to know about our earth and the universe. Amazing stuff. It doesn't have all the answers, but it has some nifty theories.

Actually, the premise is itself fallacious, which is guaranteed to give you a wrong answer before you even ask the question:
The universe is NOT everything.
The MULTIVERSE is.
Which means, the world we live in right now, and your favorite food, and the temperature that water boils, and the chemical content of our blood, is but one possibilty in an almost infinite set of universes.
And YES, the universe IS expanding, but recently scientists have shown that it ain't doing that as much as we used to think. It DID expand a whole lot in the first nano-seconds of its birth, and from that point on is groing just a little more than staying stable. It is also not expanding uniformy--tthe universe is lumpy!
Now maybe our universe is butting up against other universes in the Multiverse, and will cancel each other like matter and antimatter in "Star Trek"?
Actually, this is theoretically possible. BUT, besides there beinmg an qamazing array of "flavors" of universes, there are also at least 10, not 2 or 3, but 10 dimensions to hold them all. So, mathematically, the odds are very small we'll bump into another universe OR that exact opposite one that has our exact anti-matter to make us explode.
And don't forget those tasty theories about ghost and spirits "crossing over" from another universe...
Science is verrrrry cool, and I'm so glad you're asking these questions!

Thanks for responding to my question, Christopher. It is actually a recycled question I heard on the radio a while ago. The radio host, who may not have been an expert on the subject but did know a lot about science, first tried to evade the question but then admitted he couldn't answer it. As far as multiple universes, I don't think anyone can yet prove that there is only one or more than one universe (so I should have said the universe might be everything). But I am definitely not an expert, just a guy with recycled questions.

The lights are on
Sony initially created some buzz for the Vita prior to its release, thanks to the console's impressive graphical capability and hardware features. Despite this, that buzz hasn't translated into sales as well as the company had hoped.
In a new interview with The Wall Street Journal, Sony CEO Kaz Hirai addressed the Vita's struggle with sales numbers. "I would say it's on the low end of what we expected," said Hirai. He then noted that it's too early to determine whether the console is a success or failure, saying it would take five to ten years to say that with any certainty.
With little-to-no big games on the horizon for the portable, here's hoping Sony has some big announcements lined up for 2013.

That's not a surprise. It takes more than high-end specs.
Well, well, well. Guess why folks.

Latest on Health Care Bill - Headlines Roundup 19 Mar 2010
Health Care Special Deals: What's Left In?: (CBS) While Nebraska's Medicaid Deal was Stripped from the Health Care Bill, a Few other States are Still getting Special Treament.
(CBS/AP) The widely-reviled "Cornhusker Kickback" is out. A little special treatment for Tennessee is in. A special deal for a North Dakota bank almost made it in.
Democrats unveiling revisions Thursday to their health care overhaul bill decided to kill the extra $100 million in Medicaid funds for Nebraska that has become a symbol of backdoor deal making.
But the 153 pages of changes to the massive health care package do include extra money for hospitals in Tennessee that serve large numbers of low-income patients. Democrats say the money simply brings Tennessee up to par with the rest of the country.
And though the bill would revamp the nation's student loan system to make the government the only lender, lawmakers briefly considered allowing just one bank -- the state-owned Bank of North Dakota -- to continue making student loans.
Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D. ended up scrubbing that provision. Fearing it would become a target by Republicans in what he said is "an overly heated partisan environment," he asked the House late Thursday to remove it from the legislation.
Still alive is special spending for Louisiana, Connecticut, Montana and other states that was included in the health care bill that the Senate approved in December. The House may give it final approval this weekend.
Senior White House officials have sent mixed signals about the special deals. They initially demanded that they be eliminated, but by Sunday senior White House adviser David Axelrod said they only objected to provisions affecting just one state.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs last week singled out projects from Montana and Connecticut as items President Barack Obama wanted removed. There was resistance, however, from two influential committee chairmen, Democratic Sens. Max Baucus of Montana and Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, and their projects have survived.
To help win the vote of Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., the massive measure the Senate passed on Christmas Eve had included $100 million that only Nebraska would get in added federal Medicaid assistance.
Immediately mocked as the Cornhusker Kickback, critics called it the epitome of special Washington dealing, and even Nelson advocated ending his state's special treatment. Under the changes announced Thursday, the Nebraska provision would be deleted and all states would get additional Medicaid help from Washington.
Also eliminated from the Senate measure was a provision allowing about 800,000 elderly Floridians to keep enhanced Medicare benefits that are being cut for residents of other states.
The changes also include an additional $99 million in 2012 and 2013 for Tennessee hospitals that treat many poor people.
Retiring Rep. Bart Gordon, D-Tenn., has fought for the funds for years to bring the state's aid up to par with the rest of the country, spokeswoman Emily Phelps said. She said their inclusion had nothing to do with his announcement Thursday that he will vote for the final health legislation after opposing an earlier version in November.
serving minority students, using money the government is supposed to save by no longer paying banks to make student loans. Included are annual payments of $100 million for schools with large numbers of Hispanic students, the same amount for colleges with many black students, and millions more for schools with large numbers of native Americans and other minorities.
Based on Thursday's changes, the health legislation also:
Retains $300 million in extra Medicaid aid for Louisiana, which had helped win support for the Senate health bill from Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La. The state is still struggling to recover from Hurricane Katrina.
Keeps $100 million included in the Senate bill that is expected to go for a public hospital in Connecticut sought by Dodd, who is retiring.
Preserves language won by Baucus permitting many of the 2,900 residents of Libby, Mont., to qualify for Medicare benefits. Some of them have asbestos-related diseases from a now-shuttered mine.
Provides an additional $8.5 billion over the next decade for 11 states and the District of Columbia to help them pay for the more generous Medicaid assistance they have been providing low-income residents. These states are Arizona, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin.
Maintains a Senate-approved provision giving extra money for hospitals and doctors in North and South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming.
Obama: Health Care Debate is About Country's Character: (CBS) President Obama made a last-minute push for his health care reform plan Friday in advance of Sunday's planned vote in the House, telling a supportive audience at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia that "a century-long struggle" for reform is about to "culminate in a historic vote."
The president, who appeared energetic and enthusiastic, linked passage of the health care bill to the passage of social security and civil rights legislation, arguing that the debate on the legislation is "about the character of our country."
He cited past presidents who have supported reform, among them Republican Teddy Roosevelt, who he quoted as having backed "aggressive fighting" for expanded coverage.The legislation would eventually mean coverage for about 32 million people who are now uninsured, though many provisions expanding coverage do not kick in until 2014.
"I know this has been a difficult journey," he said. "I know this will be a tough vote." The president said that while he doesn't know how pushing for reform will "play politically," he does know that it's the right thing to do.
Mr. Obama added that despite rhetoric suggesting the legislation represents radical change, the bill is ultimately about "common sense reform." He said that if the bill does not pass, the insurance industry "will continue to run amok."
"They will continue to deny people coverage," he said. "They will continue to deny people care. They will continue to jack up premiums 40 or 50 or 60 percent as they have in the last few weeks without any accountability whatsoever. They know this. That's why their lobbyists are stalking the halls of Congress as we speak. And pouring millions of dollars into negative ads. That's why they are doing everything they can to kill this bill."
He continued: "So the only question left is this: Are we going to let the special interests win again? Or are we going to make this vote a victory for the American people?"
Obama Has Given 54 Speeches on Health Care: (CBS) On no other issue has President Obama put in as much effort and displayed as much passion as on health care.
Since launching his campaign for health care reform with a White House forum on March 5th of last year, Mr. Obama has delivered 54 speeches and statements on the issue.
He has done health care events in 12 states, some of them more than once. He's done 9 Town Hall Meetings on health care and made it the focus of 13 of his Saturday radio and Internet addresses.
And elements of the first speech could be heard more than a year later in the latest.
March 5, 2009
"There are those who say we should defer health care reform once again -- that at a time of economic crisis, we simply can't afford to fix our health care system, as well."
March 19, 2010
"You've got a whole bunch of opponents of this bill saying, well, we can't afford this; we're fiscal conservatives. / Not only can we afford to do this, we can't afford not to do this."
Our CBS News tally shows Mr. Obama has made 471 speeches, remarks and comments on every issue under the sun since taking office 423 days ago. His 54 statements on health care reform mean that better than 1 in 10 was on health care. Since the first of this year, it's been nearly 2 in 10.
And on more than any other issue, health care triggers the most forceful passages of his rhetorical repertoire.
In four speeches the last two weeks in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Ohio and today in Virginia, his passion reaches a peak and an ear-popping crescendo as he appeals to his largely supportive audiences to back his appeal for enactment of his plan to fix what he says is wrong with health care coverage in America.
...But in pursuit of his health care plan, Mr. Obama is also pursuing a more personal and subtle approach as he reaches out to members of Congress for support.
Spokesman Robert Gibbs put out the word that so far this week Mr. Obama had spoken 64 times - in person or by telephone - with House members - nearly all of them undecided Democrats.. On Friday alone, the White House trumpeted that Mr. Obama had gotten commitments to vote "yes" on health care from six more House Democrats, three of them switching from previous "no" votes.
Lawyer for Missionaries in Haiti Arrested: (CBS) Advisor for Americans Accused of Kidnapping Haitian Children Arrested for Trafficking Women and Children.
(AP) Dominican police have arrested a fugitive who acted as the lawyer for U.S. missionaries accused of kidnapping 33 Haitian children.
Jorge Puello initially served as the group's legal adviser and spokesman but authorities later said he was wanted for trafficking women and children in the U.S. and El Salvador.
The National Drug Control Agency says the 32-year-old Puello was arrested in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant late Thursday in the Dominican capital, Santo Domingo.
Soledad Puello is his mother. She told The Associated Press that she and others had negotiated with Salvadoran prosecutors for Puello to turn himself in.
Puello was born in New York but has both U.S. and Dominican citizenship.
Rape Rampant in Haiti's Earthquake Camps: (CBS) Women, Children as Young as 2 Left Alone by Disaster Face Threat of Sex Assault Living Among Escape Convicts.
(CBS/AP) When the young woman needed to use the toilet, she went out into the darkened tent camp and was attacked by three men.
"They grabbed me, put their hands over my mouth and then the three of them took turns," the slender 21-year-old said, wriggling with discomfort as she nursed her baby girl, born three days before Haiti's devastating quake.
"I am so ashamed. We're scared people will find out and shun us," said the woman, who suffers from abdominal pain and itching, likely from an infection contracted during the attack.
Women and children as young as 2, already traumatized by the loss of homes and loved ones in the Jan. 12 catastrophe, are now falling victim to rapists in the sprawling tent cities that have become home to hundreds of thousands of people.
With no lighting and no security, they are menacing places after sunset. Sexual assaults are daily occurrences in the biggest camps, aid workers say - and most attacks go unreported because of the shame, social stigma and fear of reprisals from attackers.
The lack of security even places foreigners in Haiti at greater risk. The U.S. State Department expanded its travel warning for Haiti on Monday to say that dangers of killings and kidnappings persist, and "some kidnap victims have been killed, shot, sexually assaulted or physically abused."
U.S. Embassy spokeswoman Mari Tolliver said a kidnapped person was among four U.S. citizens killed in Haiti since the earthquake.
"One of the deceased American citizens was the victim of a kidnapping," said Tolliver, giving no further details.
Rape was a big problem in Haiti even before the earthquake and frequently was used as a political weapon in times of upheaval. Both times the first democratically elected president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, was ousted, his enemies assassinated his male supporters and raped their wives and daughters.
But the quake that killed an estimated 200,000 people has made women and girls ever more vulnerable. They have lost their homes and are forced to sleep in flimsy tents or tarp-covered lean-tos. They've lost male protection with the deaths of husbands, brothers and sons. And they are living in close quarters with strangers.
The 21-year-old said her family has received no food aid because the Haitian men handing out coupons for food distribution demand sexual favors.
Sex-for-food is not uncommon in the camps, said a report issued Tuesday by the Interuniversity Institute for Research and Development in Haiti. "In particular, young girls have to negotiate sexually in order to get shelter from the rains and access to food aid."
Taliban Arrests Derailed Secret UN Talks: (CBS) Former Senior U.N. Afghan Envoy says Pakistan's Arrest of Key Militants Abruptly Halted Reconciliation Progress.
(AP) The arrests of top Taliban figures in Pakistan abruptly halted secret U.N. contacts with the insurgency at a time when the efforts were gathering momentum, the U.N.'s former envoy to Afghanistan said Friday.
Kai Eide, a Norwegian diplomat who just stepped down from the U.N. post here in the Afghan capital, said the discussions that he and others from the U.N. had with senior Taliban members began in the spring of 2009 and included face-to-face conversations in Dubai and elsewhere.
He criticized Pakistan for arresting the Taliban's No. 2 and other members of the insurgency, saying the Pakistanis surely knew the roles these figures had in efforts to find a political resolution to the 8-year-old war. Pakistan denies the arrests were linked to reconciliation talks.
"There was an increase in intensity of contacts, but this process came to a halt following the arrests that took place in Pakistan," Eide told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from his home outside Oslo.
Last month's detention of Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar - second in the Taliban only to Mullah Mohammed Omar - infuriated Afghan President Hamid Karzai, one of Karzai's advisers told the AP. Besides the ongoing talks, the adviser, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive topic, said Baradar had "given a green light" to participating in a three-day peace "jirga" or conference that Karzai is hosting next month.
However, Gen. Athar Abbas, a spokesman for the Pakistani military, said Friday that Baradar's arrest, which he said was a joint operation with the U.S., was not connected to any peace talks. "Reconciliation or talks have nothing to do with the arrest of Baradar," he said. "It has nothing to do with the talks. Serious arrests are being made continuously."

Leaving Santa Rosa
Our trip on this river boat was spent sitting in our hammocks all day and night. We opted not to get a cabin this time because we felt they were too expensive. The boat was quite crowded and therefore one of us always had to be watching the bags.
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
Unfortunately this moth started to fly away before we could get a better photo, but it was too colourful to leave out of this post.

Enoch Wood Perry, Jr.
Biography from the Archives of askART
Born in 1831 in Boston, Enoch Wood Perry, Jr, is internationally recognized for genre subjects -depictions of people engaged in everyday activities, and also for portraits of prominent Americans, including Ulysses S. Grant and Jefferson Davis.
He was educated at the Düsseldorf Academy in Germany and then at Thomas Couture's studio in France. Perry also traveled to Venice, where he served as the U.S. Consul between 1856 and 1858. When he returned to the United States in 1856, he dedicated his painting to the pursuit of American themes.
Like many Americans artists, Perry was likely intrigued by the books, travel articles, and photographs that began to circulate in the mid-nineteenth century. He traveled to northern California, where he spent several years sketching and painting with Albert Bierstadt, one of the premier painters of the American West, taking special interest in the magnificence of Yosemite Valley and its changing climate.
In 1864, Perry sailed to Honolulu, with the idea of painting the wonders of nature there, and was well received as a 'genuine artist'. He traveled to most of the islands, and painted landscapes and portraits, including posthumous images of King Kamehameha IV and his young son Prince Albert Edward Kauikeaouli Leiopapa a Kamehameha (held in the Bishop Museum of Honolulu), as well as notable Island landscapes. Perry also received commissions to paint the 'gentlemen's seats', the estates of wealthy landholders, including Dr. Gerrit P. Judd's Kualoa Ranch on Oahu and James Makee's Rose Ranch and sugar plantation in Ulupalakua, Maui (painting held at the Honolulu Academy of Art).
In these pastoral scenes, Perry juxtaposes humankind with the grandeur of the natural world. His landscapes exhibit the traditions popularized by many painters of his day working in the United States, and he was likely inspired by his work with Albert Bierstadt in the Yosemite Valley of California. Don Severson, author of Finding Paradise writes: "Perry created some of the most compelling paintings of his era in Hawaii, including (his) depiction of Kualoa Ranch." (p.79). Perry remained in Hawaii long enough to encourage and probably instruct two island artists, Edward Bailey and Joseph Nawahi.
David Forbes, "Encounters With Paradise"
Don Severson, "Finding Paradise", in association with the Honolulu Academy of Art.
Enoch Wood Perry was a multi-faceted painter, whose wide-ranging subject matter included genre, portrait and landscape. He was born in 1831 in Boston. As a teenager and young man in New Orleans, Perry showed great enterprise and determination to be an artist. He saved eleven hundred dollars from his wages working in a grocery store from 1848 to 1852, and in the latter year went to Europe to study art.
He first studied in Dusseldorf, Germany with Emanuel Leutze from 1852 to 1854, then in Paris with Thomas Couture.
Perry's maturity and focus were apparently recognized by others than those in the art community. He was only twenty-four years of age when he was appointed U. S. Consul in Venice. He exhibited his scenes of Venice at the National Academy of Design show in 1858 upon his return to the United States. His reputation was made, and he was granted an Associate membership in the Academy.
In 1860, Perry went to New Orleans after spending a year in Philadelphia. He was making a name for himself as a portraitist of the famous, including an 1861 painting of Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States. He would later paint Davis's Civil War nemesis, Ulysses S. Grant. In Hawaii after the War, Perry painted the native royalty's portraits, as he would in Utah, later, with a portrait of Mormon leader Brigham Young.
Known for his post-Civil War genre paintings, "The True American," 1875, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was one of the most popular. Many of his works appeared in Sheldon's "American Painting" and Harper's Weekly magazine. Perry moved from story telling in an academic style in his early to middle career--during which he left a valuable painted record of American furnishings--to a more painterly Impressionist view in his later work.
He died in 1915 in New York City.
Enoch Wood Perry was a member of the American Watercolor Society in addition to the National Academy of Design. His paintings are in the collections of the Bishop Museum, Honolulu, Hawaii; Buffalo Fine Arts Academy; the Cabildo, New Orleans; as well as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, and Louisiana State Museum.
David Michael Zellman, "300 Years of American Art"
John Mahe and Rosanne McCaffrey, "Encyclopedia of New Orleans Artists, 1718-1918"
Enoch Perry was born in 1831 in Boston, Massachusetts; he moved to New Orleans, Louisiana with his family in his youth, There he was one of the first graduates of the city's high school. From 1848 to 1852 Perry clerked in a grocery and was able to save $1100 for art study in Europe. From 1852 to 1854 he studied with Emanuel Leutze in Dusseldorf, concentrating on anatomy and proportion. Two further years of study with Thomas Couture in Paris greatly influenced him.
At the age of twenty-four Perry was named United States Consul in Venice, which position he served in 1856 and 1857. On his return to America, he was elected an associate membership to the National Academy of Design and a lucrative career was launched. He had been living in Philadelphia and he moved to New Orleans where he opened a studio and began painting portraits.
During the Civil War, Perry found that he had few commissions. He went to San Francisco, and the Yosemite Valley, and in the next few years travelled widely in the West from 1877 to 1881, he then returned to New York City, and went to Hawaii where he painted landscapes and portraits of native royalty. Later, in Utah, he earned more than $11,000 in a four month period, a considerable sum for that time. He died in 1915 in New York City

He was active in the local art scene and made many sketching trips into Yosemite and northern California.

Use your website and social networking to generate easy-to-close referral Sales.
When it comes to selling, referrals are the Holy Grail. It's much easier to make a sale when the sales process starts with a customer recommending you to a friend or colleague.
Ideally, you want to turn your best customers into a "volunteer sales force," according to Rob Fuggetta, author of the newly published book Brand Advocates: Turning Enthusiastic Customers Into a Powerful Marketing Force.
When I recently spoke with Fuggetta (who also heads the firm Zuberance) about referral selling, he gave me the following five tips:
1. Identify your best customers.
First, find out which of your existing customers are likely to join your "volunteer sales force." Use your website, blog, newsletter, or other customer touch points to ask the following question:
On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend our company or product?
Any customer who responds with a "9″ or a "10″ is a candidate to become what Fuggetta calls a "brand advocate" who will help you sell your product to other people. Capture the contact information for these customers, and you're well on your way to getting those easy-to-close referral sales.
2. Make it easy for your best customers to post reviews.
Once you've identified potential brand advocates, invite them to write reviews of your company or product on sites that post customer reviews (e.g., Yelp, Amazon, Best Buy) and provide them with links to the appropriate pages on those review sites.
According to Fuggetta, about 20% of customers who answered "9″ or "10″ will write reviews. Therefore, if you've got 10,000 customers and 2,000 answer "9″ or "10," you'll end up with 400 customer reviews. That's a lot of reviews.
Customer reviews accomplish two things. First, they make your product more attractive to new buyers, because buyers are more influenced by the opinions of their peers than your advertising or marketing. Second, when existing customers make a public commitment to your product, they are more likely to follow through on the next three steps.
3. Encourage your best customers to write testimonials.
Reviews talk about the product and how well it works. Testimonials are personal stories about how the product "changed the world" for the customer or the customer's firm. (Think "Kodak moment.") Testimonials are much more useful than reviews as sales tools because stories tend to stick in people's minds.
Fuggetta cites the example of a restaurant called Rubio's that reputedly sells great fish tacos. While Rubio's has plenty of Yelp reviews to that effect, what sticks in the mind is the woman who named her daughter Ruby because she went into labor while eating a fish taco at the restaurant.
When you get a testimonial, you post it on your website, of course. However, testimonials are even more powerful as sales tools when customers post them on their Facebook pages, especially if they're willing to include a link to your website.
4. Invite your best customers to answer questions from prospects.
Prospects often have questions before they buy. Though your sales team can probably answer those questions, those answers will be taken more seriously when they're provided by one of your existing customers. There are two ways to make this happen.
The cheapest method is to have a support forum in which customers can answer questions. The trick here is that it has to be easy for prospects to register and ask questions. Also, you'll need to keep an eye on the forum to make sure that dissatisfied customers don't start bad-mouthing.
A more elegant approach is to put a banner on your website reading: "Got a question? Ask a customer!" When a prospect clicks on the banner, your website sends requests to your network of brand advocates (who've given their permission for you to do this, of course) so that whoever is available can answer the question.
Fuggetta claims that using existing customers as advocates in this way has allowed one of Zuberance's clients to achieve astronomical sales conversion rates of 25%. In other words, one out of four prospects who ask questions of existing customers end up purchasing the product!
5. Give your best customers promotional offers to share.
Once you've developed your network, you can get them to share your special offers with friends and colleagues in the same way they share cute-kitty videos and interesting news articles, using whatever social networking platform they prefer.
Such offers can range from special discounts and coupons (for consumer products) to white papers and invitations to webinars (for B2B products). The trick here is to make the offers easy to share and have an easy way to give your advocates a heads-up that the offers are available.
Interestingly, such sharable offers are more effective when customers don't receive any compensation for sharing them. Turns out that giving existing customers special gifts or discounts makes their recommendations less likely to be heeded.

When Simon Put Up His Hand – He Had The Same "Feeling" As The Crowd
This guy has an incredible voice and he is a phenomenal singer as well. It doesn't matter whether you have never seen X Factor before or whether you watch it on a regular basis, this is certainly one that you need to see because you will not believe how talented he is. Cheryl pressed her buzzer right away and he couldn't believe it when this happened.
What Simon did however is even more spectacular. You will need to watch the video if you want to find out what happens next, but it is not to be missed and it is moments like this that make X Factor such a great show to watch. Why not see for yourself, click play and hear his incredible voice. You won't regret it and it just goes to show that sometimes it only takes one great voice to change the entire tempo of the series.

If you're a Stranger Things fan, then you're probably obsessed with Hopper. He's pretty much the Papa Bear of the entire cast.
Plus he has some undeniably sweet dance moves.
And as it turns out, like the best artists out there, Harbour brings that same caring persona from his own life into the lives of his characters.
Twitter user Ericka reached out to the actor, asking if he would officiate their wedding.
What would it take to get @DavidKHarbour to be the Officiant at my wedding in September?!— Ericka (@ErickaElizabth) January 15, 2018
And Harbour, being the good guy that he is, responded and said that he'd do it if she managed to get 125,000 retweets.
There were some other stipulations, however.
125k retweets. Provided date works with s3 shooting schedule, I will get ordained and perform ceremony. I get to read an esteemed love letter of my choosing, and after the cake is officially cut, I get the very first piece. #allthecakes https://t.co/rSku8qD7uT— David Harbour (@DavidKHarbour) January 17, 2018
Her wedding date has to work with his Season 3 shooting schedule of Stranger Things; there are contractual obligations the man has to follow, after all.
He also wants to have some say in the letter that he gets to read at the ceremony.
Oh and then there's the business of dessert.
We know he enjoys stacking the heck out of Eggos, but he also has an affinity for cake. He wants the first slice after the bride and groom are done with the official cake cutting business. He knows how to drive a hard bargain, but why shouldn't he?
The Golden Globe nominated Harbour's been known to follow through. He did show up to pose with this one fan for her senior photos.
There's still some good in the world pic.twitter.com/gJHazofJhh— Chris Evangelista (@cevangelista413) January 12, 2018
So yes, Hopper is definitely a man of his word.
People are loving the level of involvement he's taking in his fans lives.
This group effort to just get @DavidKHarbour to be involved in every single one of our lives is going very well so far.— Brodie Carteris (@BrodieCarteris) January 17, 2018
And some people just wanted to use it as an opportunity to try and date Hop.
Hahaha YES!! A group date with me you and David. I think 150k retweets is more than fair. Plus we are awesome and a blast. pic.twitter.com/oNLANE3ZTz— ❄Brittany Clutter❄ (@BrittanyClutter) January 17, 2018
I cannot believe this will you date me if I get enough rt's— jumpin' jack flash (@wishuponaLAUR) January 17, 2018
Others want to know if technical remarriages count?
Not gonna lie, that's almost worth divorcing just to remarry so you can officiate. What kind of cake do you like? @cullenbunn would you marry me again?— Cindy Bunn (@CindyBunn) January 17, 2018
While others just want Papa Hopper Bear to be their father for a single day.
I WONT STOP TILL I KNOW HOW MANY RETWEETS I NEED SO I CAN HAVE @DavidKHarbour AS MY DAD FOR A DAY 😩😂— Potato_Mika (@Potato_Mika) January 17, 2018
My advice is to please not take advantage of this man's ever-flowing kindness.
you are a benevolent man— Char 🏳🌈🌈🎶💜✨🖖🏻🌌💫 (@CharCubed) January 17, 2018
is this as fun for you as it is for everyone else
Everyone stop asking David Harbour for things until I can be friends with him for a day please. Thank you.

Size: 22"W x 28"H x 0.01"D
Year Created: 2017
I created this piece in layers. These paintings are flat in texture, they still have a 3D depth visually. Of course different lighting can create a different effect based on placement. The Yupo paper that I used for this piece is a unique synthetic paper, machine-made in the USA of 100% polypropylene. It is waterproof, stain resistant, and extremely strong and durable. It resists tearing and buckling and lays flat. Because of the non-absorbant nature of the paper, no white paint was used. Please be aware the back of the pieces may have smudges or prints from the techniques I use to obtain final image you see.
*** This is two separate pieces each are 11/14 depending how you wish to place them they can coordinate in any direction
The have been sprayed with a UV Resistant Clear Gloss, but for best experience a glass framing works best. It will come shipped in an archival clear plastic bag, placed between two pieces of sturdy cardboard in a stay flat mailer. Each piece is unique and original I will duplicate any design.
**** Please be aware that photos are taken with a 100W Equivalent Daylight (5000K) A19 LED Light source and the tones may vary based on viewers screen and or device color settings.
I was born and raised in Corona Del Mar, surrounded by the artistic world that is Southern California. I never ended up going to school for art as sometimes life changes directions. I did find however that painting had chased me and caught up reminding me that once it's in your heart you can never leave it. So I began to create.....

Lisbon - Portugal
Hello from Portugal!! I'm in Lisbon right now starting off the Branner Fellowship with remnants of my previous obsession of stone in Western Europe, and transitioning into the current research of building in remote areas. Lisbon is the capital of Portugal, and as such is privy to ornate decorations and large stone columns like all good centers of politics. The relative pomp and Dolce and Gabbana stores aside, there is a deep current of Portuguese aesthetics permeating building down to the surfaces you walk on. Strangely enough, one of the things you're most struck by upon entry to the city is the stone underneath your feet. It sounds odd to think of walking surface in a city center actually making that much of a difference, but the white limestone and black basalt stones fashioned into mosaics are everywhere. I mean seriously everywhere. In the alley you would take your garbage out you would be rolling on over 400 hand-set stones in every square meter.Like most old European cities, Lisbon has used cobblestones in the streets and sidewalks since around the the ancient roman era, but after a devastating earthquake in 1755, it switched over to large, flat stones in the streets like most of its European neighbors. Many people believe the designs for the mosaic stones came from the waters of the Targus after it turned turbulent due to the force of the earthquake, but the first known use of the paving pattern [in Portuguese : "calcada"] was in 1840 in the parade ground of the military headquarters. Apparently it impressed the townspeople so much that the town council declared in 1895 that the mosaic stone patterning would be used on all sidewalks from this point on out. And they have held very stead fast by that ruling it looks like. Though most of the main boulevards in the city have moved on to more readily available non-porous surfaces [say hello asphalt], every single sidewalk in the city seems to be made out of individually meticulously set stones, even those in the not so nice industrial areas down by the water [don't ask how I know that]. Along with the incredibly intricate, repeating, and usually site-specific black and white mosaic designs are the subtle differences generated by just white stones alone. For instance, on the sidewalk they will use the ultra small stones [1.5" x 1.5" roughly?] then have a large stone break and go to medium sized stones to signify as something as simple and mundane as a driveway. One instance in itself probably wouldn't be cause for celebration, but taken over the stretch of an entire city it is surely a labor of love, sweat, tears, and more than one curse word by the workers that place them. Okay, I think that got my stone fetish out of my system, but if it pops up again in another post I apologize in advance. Now onto what everyone came to the blog for......hard core nudity!!! [Just kidding. Sorry to get your hopes up. It's really just an old castle.]
Sintra - Portugal (Castelo dos Mouros)
My next stop was in Sintra, a small town about 30 minutes West of Lisbon closer to the Atlantic Ocean. The goal was to visit the Castelo dos Mouros [Moorish Castle], a castle dating back to 9th or 10th century that stands atop the neighboring mountain next to Sintra. It was raining when I left Lisbon and since it was my last full day in town I thought "it can't rain the whole day...". Yes. Yes it can. It is entirely feasible. Though armed with my marmot rain jacket and a camera nestled under my rain gear I plodded up the steep incline from the lower village to get to the ruins. After about 45 minutes or so and soaked already I decided to just start scrambling up the muddy hillside to bypass the continuing cutbacks, which in the end worked out okay minus a few thorn bushes and a pair of dirty jeans. The castle sits atop the ridge but by following the contours of the mountain, manages to appear to organically grow out of the mossy stones that surround it. The decomposable parts of the fortifications [wood floors, fencing, and ceiling] have long ago become worm-food but the bones [stone ramparts] remain.
The castle was built at the top of the mountain undoubtedly for military reasons regarding line of sight [Nick Sowers where are you...] but one of the results of doing so was its intimate relationship with its site regarding topography. Sometimes the castle ramparts winds itself through the large stone boulders and valleys, but other times it gobbles up the boulders themselves, swallowing them and incorporating them as part of the wall itself.
Using only one material medium for the walkways, stairs, and walls allows the circulation to turn and twist upon itself. Sections become plans and wrap into elevations. The site has a moving relationship to its natural landscape, dominating it at points, and becoming subservient at others. Though the weather ultimately sent me packing with a drenched day pack and gear, the atmosphere created by the fog was one of stillness and mystery, only shattered by the occasional bark of a stray mutt or a not so quiet, clumsy American student...

I took the kids to Sea World (a two hour drive each way) as a Mother's Day present for Rachel. Unfortunately, they closed the park due to a thunderstorm after only about three hours. On the one hand, Texans shouldn't quit just because of a little rain. On the other hand, it was more than a little.
Silver lining: they gave us a voucher for another visit. Maybe for Thanksgiving.
(Isaac really liked the two shows we saw, especially the "Azul" show with acrobats. He was out of his seat more often than not, jumping with excitement or dancing to the music. Sometimes both.)

Having read the book, it was easy to determine where cuts were made for the abridgment. What is so bad about the cuts was there were events that happen in the removed parts that are referenced in the recording and are not explained.
an easy listen of a classic counter terror fiction piece. the a bridging was well done with nothing critical lost in the transition.

This DJ, composer, producer was born in Netherlands in 1980.
He began his career at the age of 14 when he and his brother Bart worked to Maykel Piron, an
industry expert. By that time, Piron was working as A&R for Warner Music's Benelux division. They were involved on a remix of Libra entiled "Calling Your Name".
His career started to grow in 2008 by the number of successful songs which includes "Ocean Drive Boulevard". He ranked number 95 on the DJ Mag's 2008 list of top 100 DJs in the world. Then eventually, he advanced the 32nd place in 2009 and in 2010 got the 68th place. Bolier has long since brought the music out of the studio and to the people, taking on hundreds of nights, in front of thousands of clubbers.

Either 1 star or 5 stars - so bad it's good
Can't say it's a good movie per se, but Sharknado is pretty damn entertaining. I mean, it's a tornado with sharks in it...
it's bad, like real bad we all know that. but watching this give me this pleasure to laugh at the movie. i guess that's what the movie creator wants eh?
a must watch
fun to watch!
a masterpiece
0 stars.
boring, insincere, and not funny. The worst kind of bad movie. It just doesn't care about anything at all.
Une grande bêtise cinematographique bien réussie ahahah
ehe. he. he.
The best "Yes" scene ever,
Ziering's back from Beverly Hills 90210 and he's fucking angry.
Just as bad as part two which I watched first -I'm sure that didn't matter- but this one seems to try a little harder as if it takes itself even only slightly seriously. That hurt.
I didn't watch this film expecting much, but I find it astounding how bad a movie can actually be. The only reason this has a star is because it made me laugh, which is basically what I was looking for. I don't really have much more to say. This movie is definitely the worst I have ever seen, but perfect for a laugh!
5 stelle del trash
Haha naw, man.
best movie ever created
I was forced to watch this in a class. The only reason that I stayed was we got free pizza and lemon squares that day.
Vamos...mira la imagen...en serio? Digámoslo de esta manera: desde cuando los tiburones dan a luz personas?
Even if you have the privilege of experiencing the upstanding alumni from MST3K give this a proper Riff Traking, no amount of laughs or substances can over shadow how blatantly facetious the tornadoes shark-doukens are.

Mansfield Park Review
(This is my first full-blown movie review so please excuse the poor writing and analysis.)
Mansfield Park (1999, starring Frances O'Connor) is a rather modern take on the Jane Austen novel. It is the story of a poor girl named Fanny Price who, probably through some begging of her mother, is transplanted to a wealthy relative's estate. There she is refined into a gentlewoman (for the most part) and is educated. However, her inferior connections (due to her rather unfortunate connection with her poor family) make her a second class citizen in her new home. It is only her cousin Edmund (Johnny Lee Miller) who treats her with respect. Her other relatives all treat her as some sort of an elevated servant. For, of course, they all come from "good society" and hence are superior in morals, opinions, elegance, and nobility.
Nonetheless, Fanny grows up at Mansfield Park and eventually becomes an essential part of the household, even if most of the residents there would not admit to it. It is when she is around 20 years old (probably about 7 years after arriving at Mansfield Park) that the story really starts going. It is at that point when the parsonage at Mansfield Park is filled by Mr. Crawford and his sister. They are all elan and panache. Everyone, except Fanny, is taken in with their exceptional manners, pleasing countenances, and their raw sensuality (this is the only Austen movie in which there is a definite sexual vibe running through it). Edmund, by which now Fanny is quite in love with, is taken with Miss Crawford. Edmund's two sisters, of whom one is already engaged and becomes married, fall for Mr. Crawford. At this point, numerous flirtations occur, many of which border on the inappropriate.
Eventually, Mr. Crawford persuades himself that he is in love with Fanny. She initially rejects him for two reasons: 1) She is in love with Edmund and 2) She has reservations about his character. Her rejection upsets the household and eventually she is sent back to live with her poor family. There she continues to be pursued by Mr. Crawford and at last she accepts. However, she recalls her assent the next morning. She then seems destined to live her life out there. But when the eldest son of the Mansfield Park family falls ill that she is recalled to the estate (it is then that the family realizes her worth to them) and all becomes well. Mr. Crawford and his sister are found to be quite immoral and Edmund and Fanny agree to marry.
There are three points I want to make about this film. First, the filmmaker has done a wonderful job of showing the evil lurking underneath the "fine society: of 19th century England. The patriarch of Mansfield Park supports his family through the slave trade. The scurrilous suitor of Fanny is nothing but a sex-obsessed man who never really got past adolescence. He eventually is caught fornicating with Edmund's married sister. And her love, her cousin Edmund, is blockheaded enough to be entranced by the opportunistic sister of Fanny's suitor. All those in the film who are supposed to be of good breeding are morally confused. This makes them either susceptible to the evil of others or incapable of changing their behavior to conform themselves the moral behavior. The relationship between Edmund and Mr. Crawford's sister is indicative. He is shallow enough to be trapped (for awhile) by the more overt lack of moral fiber of Miss Crawford. In fact, all of them are trapped in their society, culture, and moral failings. As one of the characters says in the film, "I cannot get out."
This brings me to my second point: Fanny, being the outsider, is able to rise above the mess of life that is Mansfield Park. She is able to discern the true character of Mr. and Miss Crawford before anyone else. There is a point in the film where she says, "I can see more clearly in the rain."
Which brings me to my third point: The other reason Fanny can see more clearly is the fact that she is so boringly banal. In the film, she has not great beauty or great manners. She is a somewhat talented writer (eventually published) but she is not a mover or shaker in the sense that she makes things happen. She is a reactive character, not a proactive character. The most significant action she takes in the whole film is a refusal. Hence, I think, we see she is good just through her absence of evil. Or, better yet perhaps, good is not necessarily a proactive action, it is sometimes just enough to refrain from evil.
One last thing: I have one literary theory about Fanny's name. Jane Austen's other heroines are named Elizabeth, Elinor, Anne, and Catherine. All of which are elegant names, shall we say. Fanny, on the other hand, is quite plain and used in her other novels for less important characters. So, perhaps Austen used her name as a way of showing her plainness, her lack of action, and her banality. But those things become interesting and significant when weighed against the actions of her fellow characters. Perhaps that is why Henry Crawford desired her so greatly.

What I woke up I was more than ready to act out that picture, but then the boy woke up, the wife rolled over, and the day had begun.
I hope you get a better wake-up call soon.
It wasn't a "wake-up call", but the Boyfriend benefited from my mood today. We were already supposed to meet for lunch. I texted him that I would pick him up at his place instead his meeting me. I planned for just an 'appetizer', but was still 'hungry' after lunch, so had 'desert' too.ReplyDelete
