Dear Friends..
As my favorite week of the whole year rolls around, it reminds me of so many things. I was telling Mattie the other night, I have had a deep conviction this year of the true reason for Christmas. I know we all know the true meaning, but sometimes I am truly overwhelmed that a tiny baby came so many years ago to be our savior!! One of my favorite Christmas songs sings, "His ears have heard an angel symphony... still Mary had to rock her savior to sleep..." I am humbled to think that he came to save the least of us, the ones that are so busy, stressed, & truly forget the meaning of Christmas-- especially standing in the mall traffic or finding out that something that we realllllyyy want is sold out! He is here with us! always! in the good, the bad, and the trying. Celebrate each day that He gives you and know that you are so blessed!!!
In this crazy season, take a second and thank the baby Jesus, who came to save us!
What an amazing gift he gave.. the ultimate gift!
I am so thankful for you & truly am blessed to have you as a part of my life!!
The very Merriest Christmas wishes to YOU!
.....Glory to the newborn KING.
XOXO, Aubs

Methods of Calculating Reasonable Royalty Rates: "
Three methods of calculating royalties were described:
1. The Market Method – royalty rate is based on what others have paid as a reasonable royalty for similar technology.
2. The Cost Method – royalty rate is based on the cost of developing or obtaining the technology or intellectual property.
3. Income Method - royalty rate is based on the total revenues the technology is likely to produce.
The article further mentions that a practical way of deriving a reasonable royalty rate is to first develop an economic model that factors in the cost to develop the technology and the overall revenues expected from sales of the technology. The model should also include risk factors, such as expensive processes that may also delay time to market, or any other potential risk factors. For example, sales my start out slow at first for a few years before reaching higher levels of expectations. Lastly, duration of patent terms should be included.
It seems to me that a good starting point would be to develop an economic model that utilizes information from all three methods of calculating royalties. Develop a model that takes into account estimated or realized revenues, cost of development and bringing the technology to market and compare royalty rates for similar technology under similar or related circumstances. From a more inclusive model, you can glean a great deal of information about the technology and what its ultimate value would be to you in order to determine what you are willing to pay and whether you can obtain alternative technology for less.
It is not surprising that a great deal of effort must be used to evaluate a license agreement before negotiating a reasonable royalty rate given the increasing costs and other pressures researchers and manufacturers face when developing new technology.

Novena to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel
(July 7 to July 15)
Fourth day
When you gave us, Gracious Lady, the Scapular as our Habit, you called us to be not only servants, but also your own children. We ask you to gain for us from your Son the grace to live as you children in joy, peace and love.
(Pause and mention petitions)
Our Father
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Pater Noster
Pater Noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and in the hour of our death. Amen.
Ave Maria
Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, Et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, Ora pro nobis peccatoribus, Nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.

Crusaders chief Brian Noble is confident his side are well-equipped to beat Hull in their own back yard tonight, (8pm).
The KC Stadium has proved something of a fortress for Hull this season with Richard Agar's men securing nine victories from 11 matches, losing only to the top two teams in Super League, Wigan and Warrington.
However, Crusaders have tasted victory on their travels, coming away from the likes of Leeds, Catalans and Wakefield with the points, and Noble believes his side will be prepared for what Hull have to throw at them.
"It is a great stadium, they have great fans and they get behind their team," he explained. "We can't be surprised by that.
"We have been away a lot on our travels recently. We have had the element of home support but we have been on our travels, which is a good thing.
"We have been to France and we have been to south Wales a couple of times and we had the one game at home against Salford. We have a bit more travelling to do
but that shouldn't phase us, we are used to that, spending time with each other.
"I think the players are really determined. We have done a lot of things, we have led
from the front and finished the game off, we have come from behind a couple of
times, so there is not too much in a game that is surprising at the moment."
Noble was delighted with the effort and endeavour of his side as they fought-back
from 12-4 down with 10 minutes remaining against Harlequins to claim a fourth
successive Super League victory.
The win moved Crusaders two points ahead of Castleford in the battle for the
remaining play-off place with three matches to play, and Noble is keen to see his
side raise their game further at Hull.
"We had to be tough because I thought Harlequins were really resolute," admitted the former Bradford coach.
"They didn't quite put us away and we were still in there and we came up with a couple of sucker punches at the end which saw us over the line.
"We are doing some things really well and obviously there are things we can do a little bit better, which we will need to do this week against Hull.
"We need to kick the ball a bit better I think, other than that there wasn't too much wrong. It was a wet night, it wasn't going to be an expansive game, but we were expansive at the right times.
"We just couldn't establish as much field position as we would have liked on the back of our poor kicking game, that needs to improve for sure.
"We know the nature of our challenges go up each week now. We have put ourselves in a position to finish a lot higher than a number of people thought we would."
Noble has named an unchanged 19-man squad for the trip to Hull with Vince Mellars and Gareth Thomas again missing out.
Meanwhile, hooker Tommy Lee is delighted to have put his injury nightmare behind him.
Former Hull man Lee endured a tough start to his Crusaders career, with a series of injuries restricting him to just a handful of appearances.
He made his return to the first team during last month's visit to Huddersfield Giants and is now enjoying a run in the first team
"We've won four of the five games since I have been back which has been pretty good," he said.
"It was a shocking start to my Crusaders career, so its been great to finally have a consistent run in the team. Hopefully I can play a few more games now as we get to the business end of the season.
"Finishing in the top eight would be a massive achievement. We have always believed we could do it as a squad, even if a lot of people in the rugby league world
had written us off.
"We've got a team that has stuck together through thick and thin and it is always good when you are playing your best rugby at the end of the season. We're keeping our feet on the ground but we're focussed on winning our remaining three games."
Crusaders chief Brian Noble is confident his side are well-equipped to beat Hull in their own back yard tonight, (8pm).

Do you know how terrible of a human being I feel when I finally return to my wordpress blog and the first notification I receive is a "Happy Anniversary!" message from wordpress itself. I apologize wordpress that i've been neglecting you all this time and come back on the day of our anniversary. This blog post goes out to you…
My mother's friends own an old country Inn located in West Dover, Vermont. I have spent many a-holidays there, eating up all the scrumptious food they cooked, and being enrobed by their love and hospitality. They have been there many years now and are interested in selling the place. The Inn will be sold by an essay contest with a registration fee of $100. Isn't that insane? All anyone has to do in order to participate is construct an essay describing why you would like to own and operate your own inn! So check it out it out, the name of your future Vermont property could be the Deerfield Valley Inn.
Anyways, I am not here just to brag about this inn for sale, I am also going to provide a Rhubarb Loaf Recipe in which one of the owners provided me.
Vermont Rhubarb Loaf:
2 C fresh rhubarb, chooped
1/2 C sugar
1/4 C AP flour
1/2 C butter (1 stick)
1.5 C sugar
1 egg, beaten
2.5 C AP flour
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1 C milk
1 t vanilla extract
1/2 C sugar
1 t cinnamon
1/2 C coconut
Sprinkle 1/2 C sugar and 1/4 C of flour in together with the rhubarb and set aside.
Cream butter and 1.5 C sugar.
Stir in egg followed by the sifted dry ingredients.
Add into the butter mixture.
Add in milk and vanilla followed by rhubarb.
Pour into floured and greased pans.
Top with cinnamon sugar and coconut.
Bake at 375 for 45 mins.

GACKT in PHThursday, January 14, 2016
So I saw this on my news feed...
How are you doing babies? Thanks for 100K followers. Just started Instagram 2 months ago, I am really happy that you have fun with this. I bought new Rimowa's suits cases for this trip, it's not bad. Anyway we got to the Philippines now. Enjoy your dinner. 2ヶ月前から始めたインスタも気がつけば10万人のフォロワーになってた。ありがとう。みんなが楽しんでくれて嬉しいよ。今回、新しいリモワのスーツケースを新調したよ。中々いい。取り敢えずフィリピンに到着だ。みんないい夜を。 #GACKTstagram #Philippines #Rimowa @rimowa_official @GACKT #リモワ x
Then he posted this video of going to the beach... and this beach seemed familiar!
A friend said that this was in Samal, the island across my city, that's like 15 minutes away.
Oh man, oh man, oh man!
I definitely know this street and the routes written on the jeepneys. If we're right, he's probably staying somewhere in Matina or further.
He said "home"! Could it be that he has a home in our city all along and we didn't knew about it? He seems to be familiar with the road since he's the one driving... His IG is fairly new, so probably he's just documenting his visit now...
Oh my gahd this is freaking amazing!

The actual feast day of the Epiphany arrives on Monday; some churches will celebrate tomorrow. Let us take this week-end before Epiphany to hold on to the Christmas magic as we transition back to regular life.
The Feast Day of the Epiphany celebrates the ways in which the incarnation of God in the person of Jesus is revealed early in the Christ story. More specifically, the Feast of the Epiphany celebrates the arrival of the wise men from the East to see and bring gifts to the baby Jesus. Often, the Epiphany season also includes the baptism of Jesus, which in some Gospels, can include a descending dove and God telling us that Jesus is God's son, with whom God is well pleased.
Note that God is well pleased even before Jesus has done a thing. For those of us who suffer self-loathing because we feel we're not doing enough and we're not living up to our full potential, perhaps we could take this lesson and back off a little.
Or maybe we want to take a completely different approach. Perhaps on this week-end Feast Day of the Epiphany, we could move towards having an epiphany of our own about our lives.
The word epiphany in literary circles has come to mean a sudden insight (that's the most simplistic definition). Here's the epiphany I'm hoping for today/this year: what am I put on this earth to do? What creative work is most important? If I didn't have all the time in the world--and we don't--what would I focus upon?
We hear a lot of talk in the world about writer's block, but that is not the reality for the creative folks I know. Most folks I know have far too many interests to be blocked. For most people I know, the difficulty comes with having too little time and floundering in terms of not being able to decide what work is most important. Let this be the year that we determine early what our essential work is, and let this be the year that we commit to that work and bring it to fullness.
But maybe you'd like a more light-hearted approach to the Feast Day of the Epiphany. The Christmas to Epiphany season is a festival of light. How can we get more light into our lives?
If you're a scented candle person, Yankee Candle is having a great sale right now, and it's not just their Christmas scents (at least not on their website). There are candles that are half price and 75% off. Often the website has great deals on shipping, which is good, because those candles are heavy.
Or maybe you need a better desk lamp or better reading light.
Or maybe you need metaphorical light. What books have brought you joy and inspiration? Resolve to read them more often, even daily or weekly. Invite more light of every kind into your life! Watch your favorite movies. Seek out the T.V. shows that make you glad to be alive--and avoid the ones that make you anxious (like the local news, for example) or unworthy. Listen to music that inspires you.
The Feast Day of the Epiphany can also be about gifts, and if you have any extra money, now can be a great time to buy yourself a gift when much of it is on sale. Buy yourself some new undergarments! That sweater you've had your eye on is likely on sale, and many of us still have a few months of cooler weather left. Buy a calendar that makes you happy--it's probably on sale right now. Stock up on your favorite, seasonal coffees and teas. Buy Christmas cards and decorations for next year.
And don't forget the gift of time. Many social justice/service agencies would be happy to see some extra hands right now. If you don't have time to give, send some money.
Or maybe this is all too airy for you. Maybe you need to plant some seeds that will bring epiphanies of their own in the coming months. Maybe you need to cook.
Why not bake some 3 Kings Bread? Here's a blog post that gives the recipe along with photos. And for those of you who say "Bread? I can't possibly bake bread!", I say, "Yes, you can." This recipe is for a yeasted bread, but it requires no kneading. And while you could include candied fruit, you don't have to. For those of you still adhering to your New Year's resolutions to eat better, this recipe can work for you too: it's somewhat sweet, but also fairly healthy.
For those of us who still have yet to put away our Christmas decorations, this week-end should probably be the time. Many of us have been on vacation, and this week many of us return to work for the first time. On this week-end before the Feast Day of the Epiphany, many of us will need to put our lives back into a certain order to get ready for tomorrow.
But before we let go of Christmas entirely, let's take a bit more time to savor the season. Have one last cookie or cup of Christmas tea. Think about how you will continue to infuse sweetness into your post-holiday life. Think about the twinkly lights and the star that is so central to the Christian Christmas story. How can you get more light into your life? What star waits for you to notice and to follow its guidance? What gifts do you need? What gifts does the world need from you?
feeling the feelings…

text: Allergies Food Allergies Symptoms How Common Is a Coffee or Caffeine Allergy? By Daniel More, MD, a board-certified physician Updated March 02, 2018 Share Flip Email Print PeopleImages/Getty Images More in Food Allergies Symptoms Common Types Children & Food Allergies Causes & Risk Factors Treatment & Diagnosis Living With Coffee is an extremely popular drink, not only in the United States but around the world, particularly in Europe. The popularity of coffee has grown over the past few decades, likely at least in part due to the success of Starbucks Coffee Company. In the past, coffee was consumed mostly in relationship to meals; people now drink coffee during all times of the day, with or without food, even as a dessert or iced beverage. All told, the world consumes 1.4 billion cups of coffee a day, with the highest consumption being in Europe. With a large amount of coffee being consumed, it would seem that many people would be experiencing allergic reactions as a result of drinking coffee.Coffee Allergy From Drinking Coffee Is Rarely ReportedSurprisingly, there is little to no information in the medical literature regarding allergic reactions to drinking coffee. It is unclear why there aren't more reports, as it would certainly seem possible. You are probably at very little risk for being allergic to your morning cup of Joe.One report from Italy, published in 2008, described a father and daughter who experienced presumed coffee allergy after contracting a parasitic infection. The authors theorize that the parasite damaged the intestine and allowed the development of coffee allergy to occur. Both father and daughter showed evidence of specific IgE to coffee with positive blood testing and skin testing, and symptoms of hives and diarrhea occurred when drinking coffee and resolved when coffee was avoided. Occupational Allergy to Raw Coffee BeansHowever, coffee allergy is well described in terms of an occupational allergy from exposure to raw coffee beans. The first reports of occupational allergy to coffee date back to the 1950s and 1960s, when workers at coffee production plants began to experience symptoms of nasal allergies and asthma with exposure to raw (green) coffee beans and roasted coffee dust. This fact suggested that coffee allergens survived the roasting process, and therefore drinking coffee would be expected to cause allergic reactions in certain people. Unfortunately, the major coffee allergen was not characterized until a study published in 2012 by researchers from Germany.A group of 17 coffee plant workers who complained of nasal allergies as a result of exposure to coffee dust was studied. None of these people experienced any reaction with drinking coffee. Currently available commercial allergy blood tests detected the presence of IgE (allergic) antibodies in only two of the workers. The researchers were able to identify the major coffee allergen, called Cof a 1, and developed a method to test for this allergen with a blood test. This testing method allowed for the identification of more workers with an occupational allergy to coffee dust.Caffeine AllergyMost people who experience symptoms after drinking coffee, such as headaches, rapid heart rate, gastrointestinal upset (such as nausea or diarrhea), jitteriness and insomnia are having either a non-allergic food intolerance or pharmacologic side effects from caffeine contained within the coffee.Interestingly, there are a number of reports of people being allergic to caffeine, with symptoms ranging from hives to severe anaphylaxis. Therefore, any patient who is considered as having a coffee allergy should be considered as possibly having an allergy to caffeine instead. A person with allergy symptoms after drinking decaffeinated coffee would likely be allergic to coffee, while a person with allergy symptoms after drinking other caffeinated beverages (such as cola, tea or chocolate) would more likely have a caffeine allergy.The next time you're at the local coffee shop, get the large size coffee. You're not likely to become allergic to it.Sources:Ciprandi G, et al. Helminthic Infection as a Factor in New-Onset Coffee Allergy in a Father and Daughter. J. Allergy Clin.

Hiding has it's moments, like in kick the can, but as an adult it hasn't helped me much. For years, hiding emotionally was how I survived. To tell you the truth, I didn't really even realize I was doing it until I started therapy a few years ago. "Hidden" is the name of one of my therapy boxes because I know that hiding is one of my unhealthy emotional habits. I have hidden physically as well, especially when I first started dealing with a lot of these emotions, I withdrew and hid from my life in many ways. When I was young I would often hide behind the couch and I would lay as still as I could and wait, wait to hear my name, wait to see if I was important enough for anyone to notice I was missing. It is sad to say, but in those moments of hiding, I never did hear my name.
I didn't really think about the hiding that was going on at home, I guess because it didn't seem like hiding. I always knew where to find my mom, in her room on her bed reading. When my dad was home from work, I knew where to find him too, in his room on his bed reading. It occurred to me the other day that even my older sister did this, in her room on her bed reading.
In my early 20's I had gone to a therapist once and talked about a relationship that hadn't gone well. She encouraged me to share my pain with those closest to me. I couldn't do it. I couldn't even tell my best friend how badly this guy had hurt me. I didn't see the therapist again, I just couldn't bring myself to tell her that I couldn't face my own pain, let alone share it with others (little did I know at the time how much more pain was yet inside me needing to come out).
When I started dating my husband he would ask me what I was thinking and so often I couldn't tell him. We laugh about it now, but one night he literally sat on me until I finally shared the pain from that relationship. Once I let it out, I cried and cried and he just held me. He has been my best advocate for letting out my emotions, but even with him I hid so much. Often, rolling away from him at night pretending I was fine, but would wait until he was asleep and silently cry. My therapist encouraged me to "roll toward" him and not away from him when I had the urge to hide what I was feeling. It felt so unnatural and vulnerable, but I learned how to do it.
I have to admit that when I started my second attempt at therapy, I knew I was talking to her in a very logical manner, but it was all I could do. It took months before my emotions started to come out of hiding. It was really scary for me, I would make sure I was home alone first before I would let anything out, then years of suppressed emotions would suddenly explode from me and I would have a panic attack or cry and cry (sometimes both). At therapy I would only let a little out at a time and my therapist would breathe through the emotions with me.
Sometimes life seemed too much and withdrawing and hiding felt like the only way to survive, but I know better now. Once I was aware of what I was doing, I could physically feel it when I would start to lock down my emotions inside. The funny thing is that the more I let them out, the harder it is to hide them. My therapist had told me once that there are four main emotions which are fear, sad, mad and glad. Over the past few years, I have learned how to feel joy, share my sadness, express my fears and have made a few attempts at letting out the anger (this one truly scares me). I still have a ways to go, but now I know that I feel better as I allow myself and others to see my emotions. I have learned how to let them out, breathe through them and survive.

I think for me one of the hardest to do is "it is what it is" I always want to change it. I want to fix it. I want to make it better, which I know I can't until I accept what is.ReplyDelete

Renae, You mentioned something a couple years back about going through some things and I remember thinking that I would call you. I never did. I hope to talk to you!ReplyDelete
Excellent post! I was just feeling that "hiding" feeling coming on this week. Transitions are never easy for me and even though I'm looking forward to this one (school starting, getting back into a routine), I still have a hard time embracing the stuff that happens before we actually get to the new schedule. It makes me want to hide and not deal with it. For me, it's escape...a book, music, food...as far away as I can get from people. I'm reading an amazing book right now...Finding Your Own North Star by Martha Beck. You might like it! <3ReplyDelete
I have had to learn how to let things out, too. Somehow I learned growing up that it was better to keep it inside. (Could this be something we both learned from our mothers?) However, as an adult I learned how self-destructive this can be. Even now, I have to remind myself to not bottle things up. Otherwise, there's bound to be an ugly explosion later on down the line. I've been reading your blog every so often the past few months and you have some very wise insights.ReplyDelete

Will negative ads by Doyle and Green promote apathy amongst votersThe race for governor of Wisconsin between Gov. Jim Doyle and U.S. Rep. Mark Green will finally come to an end on Nov. 7. However, those who have witnessed the mudslinging campaign ads put forth by each candidate may not want to show up to the voting booths.
The campaign ads used by Doyle and Green have certainly embodied the sleaziness of political advertising. It seems as if each political candidate has spent more time digging up dirt on his opponent than figuring out what he will do when he is elected.
Each candidate has used accusatory ads that suggest their opponent is a crook. Will such a depiction of each candidate in these ads have a negative impact on voter turnout?
The use of sensational, dishonest, and personal attacks is certainly bound to have more of a negative impact on voter turnout than a positive one.
Campaign ads for Democratic candidate Jim Doyle have done everything from accusing Green of borrowing illegal campaign funds to using celebrity Michael J. Fox to claim that Green is against stem cell research.
Republican candidate Mark Green's campaign ads have been equally negative. His ads have charged Doyle with such things as taking part in a scandal with a former administration staffer and have even compared Doyle to Richard Nixon.
A 2002 study from Harvard University suggests that sensational attacks and personal attacks can negatively affect voter turnout.
The fact that Doyle and Green have used sensational and personal attacks against one another implies that their campaign ads will discourage citizens from voting.
One can see how such sensational attacks can affect how voters perceive their candidates through the comparison of Doyle and Nixon. The comparison made Doyle look like a devious politician, while Green's reliability had to be questioned because of such a harsh and unethical comparison.
The accused as well as the accuser look bad in sensational ads because of the way each is represented. The accuser is represented as someone who is willing to say anything to win, while the accused is represented as someone who deserves skepticism and suspicion.
Doyle had an almost equally sensational ad stating that the $1.3 million Green transferred from his federal campaign to state campaign in 2005 was illegal. While the act by Green has aroused suspicion, the truth is that when he borrowed the money it was not illegal to do so.
As with the ad just mentioned, many ads in this race bring attention to claims about an opponent that are simply not true.
One of Green's ads claimed that Doyle stood in the way of an 800-job expansion of home improvement retailer Menard Inc. The ad failed to mention that the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is what really stood in the way of the expansion and that Menard's president and CEO praised Doyle.
Lies such as this will deter voters who research their candidates. If they see that each candidate uses lies or half truths in their campaign ads, they are less likely to care about or commit to either one of the candidates and consequently not vote.
The personal attacks in these ads are also likely to heighten voter apathy.
A woman in one Green ad stated "I think Doyle is definitely corrupted by money." On the other side, an ad by Doyle stated that Green was "lying to distract voters from the truth."
The themes of corruption, lies, and dirty money have become common threads in these ads. It is hard for voters to become motivated to vote when each candidate is thoroughly represented as a crook
While some journalists suggest that negative campaign ads stimulate voter turnout, this claim has not been proven. Studies have shown mixed results as to whether or not negative ads stimulate or are detrimental to voter turnout.
However, recent studies can correlate sensational and personal campaign attacks with negative voter turnout. Also common sense dictates that dishonest ads are more likely to create distrust for candidates and therefore create voter apathy.
At some point voters have to ask whether choosing between a crook and another crook is actually a choice. Where does the credibility lie when a political candidate accuses his opponent of being a liar and that same opponent has an identical accusation?
It remains to be seen whether these negative and dishonest ads will have an effect on who shows up to vote on Nov. 7. However, it's hard to choose between candidates when more is known about what's wrong with them than what is right.

A tradition that Cody and I started a long time ago was to go to as many local baseball games we can during the summer and since Wyatt has found him self in our little family we of course had to bring him into the tradition as well.
Now this isn't his first "real" baseball game its just the first one of this summer…
One of my many favorite things I love about going to these games is watching Cody tell Wyatt about the game and Wyatt listening so intensely like he understands everything being said.
During the game I began to believe that he knew who we were cheering for and when and how to do it.
Because at every highlight he just knew before me and a lot of other people…
That it was time to cheer.
He got so into it he refused to sit on my lap he wanted his OWN chair (thank goodness no one was sitting next to me so he could actually have his own chair.) and he rarely looked away for the first part of the game.
But then of course "Oggie" the raptor came along and he flipped out in a excited ask a million times "whod dat?" "whod dat?" way until Oggie came close to us so he could meet him.
He thought it was so cool that he starting hysterically laughed and gave him 3 or 4 high fives and until Oggie had leave which of course made Wyatt cry.
The game went on late into the evening we ate hotdogs, nachos, had icecees drink a ton of soda, cheered and just enjoyed ourselves.
and even got to watch the fireworks.
What a great nightTweet

This week we bring attention to an area when Hasbro gets it right. At home here we are big fans of the Build A Droid. This was an idea of Hasbro's that was just pure gold. The new Walmart exclusive Royal Starship Droid set and the Discover the Force G8-R3 just added a bunch of alternate parts that could be used to create custom kitbash droids. We bought two extra sets just for this purpose. Below are just four of the droids we created using some older parts we had with the new parts we obtained. The sets are in stores now so try and grab them before you find yourself having to pay top dollar on ebay. Some collectors complain about the lower peg holes on the astromechs, and while they can be unsightly, they are easy to hide with some minimal sculpting work.
They truly are Hasbro's gift to the customizing world. Now if only Hasbro could discontinue the dice and get some new B.A.D. parts rolling out with the figures once more.

Looks like the Treasury may have already started implementing it's plan to double MBS purchases this month.
Around 3:30pm, someone (government?) came into the MBS market and went on a buying spree, BIG time. I can only assume that it's the Treasury or Fed, since this kind of move in prices in that short amount of time can only be achieved with serious purchase power. Of course, I could be wrong - it could be a very large institutional investor who's betting that prices will go up from here.
This morning we were down ~45bps (basis points). We are now up 112bps.
Banks have yet to issue rate changes, but we are, after all, late in the afternoon on a Friday (after an extremely volatile week). I expect we'll see better rates (1/8%) on Monday morning, if these prices hold.

So, I was doing one of those google searches to see what came up, and I found this. What really stood out was the second point. "BEWARE of using Google.." which I haven't seen in any articles I've read. Dude, this is genious! Why has no one else ever put this in places like WKLD? Maybe this isn't something you want to send your parents when you're caught, but I still think its cool. Need more articles for parents who will always research (after possibly tearing your head off) with that very important bit!
Not really sure how this is important, but it's more of an observation...Comments?

Veronica Mars Cancelled
Not much more to say. At least we got 3 seasons instead of a scant 14 episodes like we got of Rob Thomas's last show- Cupid.
Elfman Update
Danny Elfman is doing the score for the new Disney film "Meet the Robinsons". The film is in theaters on March 30th. The soundtrack hits stores on March 27th. Elfman has 10 different score tracks shoehorned between the usual Disney Channel stars crap-fests. Still a must buy for me.
Pixar DVD news
By the end of the year, Pixar will be releasing a DVD with all of their shorts on it. This will include Luxo, Jr.,Tin Toy, Knick Knack (Original version from what I understand), Red's Dream (I dont know this one), Geri's Game, For the Birds, Boundin', One Man Band, and many more, some released theatrically, a few internal as well (made only for the company).

Four ceramic balls unearthed in northeast China are believed to be weapons of ancient hunters some 3,000 years ago. Chinese archeologists discovered four such balls, 2-4 centimeters in diameter, in Guanghe County, Gansu Province. The balls are red, yellow and black. Some are solid with slick surfaces, some are hollow with grains inside.
"These ceramic balls, in their shapes, sizes and weights, are very suitable for people to hurl by hand or with a rope," said Wang Donghai, deputy head of the provincial institute of colored pottery in Gansu. "They must be efficient in hunting fast running animals," he said, adding that the hollow ceramic balls would make sounds during the movement.
The four balls are of great value also for studies on ceramic culture, the history of human development and the history of Chinese civilization, said Wang.

I finished my swap project! Now I just have to put together an awesome package. I need to go shopping!
Since I can't show a picture of the swap project, I'll have to skip together to my new project. I've decided that after such a long stint of doing monsters, I'm going to take a quick break for some embroidery again. I like to alternate crafts. I feel like it spares my hands to take breaks, and it keeps me from getting burnt out on one type of craft.
This embroidery came from a booklet of iron on transfers I got at a St. Vincents. The fabric is a mystery. It was a remnant labeled cotton when I purchased it, but it most certainly is not cotton. Not 100%, at least.
The most interesting part of this photo, however, is that it was taken on my brand new phone! It connects to the internet, sends texts, and receives calls all on the same day! All right, so I admit my last phone set a low bar. But this one is magnificent, and I love it.

A world-renowned expert intuitive and author talks about her practice of examining the happenings of everyday life for hidden meaning. You'll find tips about intuition development, working with energy and personal vibration, the transformation process, dreamwork, future trends, and leading consciousness ideas.
Thursday, September 27, 2007
The last few days I've been becoming aware of my relationships — the ones that hold tension. I made a list of all the people I'm worried about; I feel them as disconnected from their true self in a way that could result in illness or death. I also listed people I feel contracted about because they have misinterpreted me and rejected me; there was a misfit of what they expected and what I offered, and there is a resulting feeling of guilt and fear in me — some old codependent panic in my gut about displeasing. Then there are the people who I have truly been insensitive to, and to whom I owe an apology.
I began meditating and sending heart energy to them, one by one, and I actually called a few and spoke my apologies to them, and said what was most important to me — that I didn't want to injure our friendship and I was sorry for being arrogant in any way. The ones I called were grateful and acknowledged the imbalance and rectification. I was so relieved. Then — surprise — 2 of the ones I simply meditated about actually called me out of the blue today and without much effort, just allowing the natural flow of conversation, all was made well again, as though the past had never gone wrong. It was magical.
My friend Henry Smiley, a wonderful intuitive in TN, wrote to me with a little "reading" the other day — again, sort of "out of the blue." He said: "Your skills and understanding continue to expand, but there exists an inconsistency in others to pursue their paths more fully. The inconsistency is, I think, a universal, latent energy that we all share in some form or another. There are so many 'themes' and 'concerns' in people's lives that they simply feel more inclined to sleep it away, be immobilized by fear, medicate it away, sexually repress it either by too much sexual expression or none at all, or just forget it 'til another day rolls around. There is a clear and present space where there are no needs. This is an inner space that affects the outward world. I think you are aware of this space. This is where your next ideas will flow from. They have emanated from this place in your life for decades now. You have yet to reach the expanse of your potential — no where near it, in fact."
Henry could have been speaking for all of us. Perhaps I wander a bit in my thoughts, but I am getting clearer and clearer that petty emotions and negative thinking, even positive thinking if it's locked into a structure, are SO in the way right now of us being all that we can be. I do not want to hold contractions in my mind, emotions, or body anymore. In fact, I cannot stand it! Reality TV is still glorifying the immature behavior of people whose growth was arrested at age 5 or so, but so many of us are moving rapidly beyond this drivel. We must act NOW, I sense, to refuse to hold contraction in ourselves, to be limited to such mental handicaps. It starts with feeling like a victim, with blaming, and moves into more expanded ego expressions, even to how we feel stymied politically — refusing to take action about an administration that is bankrupting the country and setting us up for failure due to underdeveloped character in our citizens, unrepaired infrastructure, uneducated children, unprepared emergency response systems, and rampant apathy.
Let us look for contractions in ourselves! Let us look for the places we've resigned ourselves to numbing entertainment and "news" that is more mind-controlling than mind-challenging. Let us make amends where we have been wrong. You cut someone off in traffic? Let the next guy in with a smile. Let us learn the art of blessing others in our inner mind, telepathically. Let us live without thinking that contraction is "normal."

Hmmm, I love the term "contraction." I don't think I've ever heard it used in that way, and it's just a fantastic way of expressing what we sometimes do to ourselves in negativity. We lock or tie ourselves up in that energy. Using that term "contraction" is such a great reminder that we can be all about "expansion." Love it! Great post.

Yes! If you really feel into your body, it's easy to sense there are places where we hold back, hold on, hold forth, hold out. . . The tension of doing this is actually a contraction of the flow of soul force. . .

Back home with Sami Mouse, Mama Goose, and the Roach Army in the Sink.
Back from a little hiatus. My charming collaborator Eric and I took a weekend trip to Eugene, OR, and we had a glorious time on Sunday exploring the gorgeous coast and hanging with lovely new friends. I had a rather stressful day on Monday, during which I had an all-day headache, was a little overwhelmed by back-to-back tours of the university and beyond, and had a moment of panic* thinking about moving away from my art network and my dearests in NYC. This was all resolved, though, and, as I mentioned a few posts back, even if we do end up in Oregon next year, I won't be saying goodbye to Brooklyn or my favorite people in it.
Now I'm back in Kentucky. I ended up needing a mental health day yesterday, and mostly relaxed and de-stressed in my wee cabin. Today I got back on track, took a morning walk, took care of some art business for upcoming shows, discussed some things with my musical collaborators Lurch and Holler, had a very quick little French lesson by phone with my teacher in NY, and finished editing my ant hill video that I shot here at Bernheim (but now I need to name it!) Now there are two completed pieces in the Possumhaw Plant Electrics series. I'm pretty excited about that.
Next week we'll be resetting the universe (I know, I know, I said that last week too!) and hopefully getting down to business with the mind machine soon. In the meantime, I'm planning and storyboarding, waiting for this cloudy weather to pass on by, and feeling comforted by the sounds of the forest around me.
*And by "moment of panic" I mean "total fucking meltdown."

These are not common types of Spider Lilies. I photographed them in the Singapore Orchid Garden and have not seen them anywhere else. Notice that the petals are twisted giving the appearance of ribbons.

CNET First Look
Nanoleaf Rhythm turned our smart home into a dance clubPlug this nifty module into your Nanoleaf Aurora LED light panels and you'll be able to sync lighting changes to the beat of whatever music you're listening to.
[MUSIC] Nanoleaf's color changing Aurora Light Panels are a likable and eye-catching Smart Home novelty. This year you can upgrade those panels with the Nanoleaf Rhythm. An itty-bitty module with a built in microphone, that can translate anything it hears into a synchronized light show. The cost, $50, or $30, if you buy it bundled with a Nine-Panel Aurora Starter Kit, which costs $200. Nanoleaf's app offers a variety of different rhythm presents that use different colors and animation patterns. You can download new presets from a growing library of user-created options, or you can create your own. The options are a little limited, you can't control the microphone sensitivity to things like bass and treble for instance, but it's still a nice way to keep the feature from getting stale too quickly. Like the standard color presets, you can activate your rhythm presets using voice commands with Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant. I also appreciate that like the aurora panels themselves, nanoleaf rhythm gives you physical controls too. Getting started with the rhythm module is a cinch. Just connect it to one of your aurora panels and the app will automatically detect it and start offering up rhythm tree sets for you to play with. Latency was nice and low when I tested it out. And while I sometimes had to experiment a bit to find a really good looking visual for a given song, most of the presets seemed to work well with the variety of different music types. [MUSIC] Bottom line, this seems like a no-brainer upgrade if you already invested in Nanoleaf's Aurora panels. And if you're thinking of buying in, that rhythm starter kit seems like a good option.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Rep. Barney Frank, the tough-talking liberal ushering through a major rewrite of rules governing Wall Street, sounded a warning shot on Thursday to big banks: Start playing nice or Congress will make your life even more difficult.
Last spring, Frank helped push a bill through Congress that imposes strict new rules on lenders, including a limitation on when and how banks hike rates. Most of the rules will take effect in mid-February, a date set by Congress to give banks time to prepare for the changes.
But the Massachusetts Democrat, who chairs the House Financial Services Committee, said at a hearing on Thursday that lenders have abused the grace period by using the time to hike rates ahead of the new rules. He has introduced legislation that would move up the enactment date to Dec. 1.
"It is very clear that this is the kind of protection that shouldn't wait and we should move forward," Frank said about the new credit card rules.
Frank also said he is open to providing relief to merchants that pay heavy fees to banks in exchange for accepting credit cards from their customers. Thursday's hearing was primarily focused on legislation by Vermont Democratic Rep. Peter Welch that would regulate those fees.
The hearing included testimony from Kathy Miller, a grocery store owner in Elmore, Vt., whose voice cracked with emotion as she described the strain put on her business because of the high fees, known as "interchange," levied by credit card companies.
Some lobbyists have speculated that Frank's sudden interest in Welch's bill is a warning to banks to tone down their opposition to his broader effort to impose new consumer protections. The financial industry has launched a multimillion-dollar effort to try to defeat legislation backed by Frank and President Barack Obama that would create a new federal regulator to police the fine print on such products as credit cards and mortgages.
Banks contend that tougher restrictions and the creation of a new federal regulator will hurt the availability of credit. In an effort to counter the backlash in Congress and elsewhere, some banks have announced they will adopt consumer-friendly policies on their own.
This week Bank of America Corp. pledged not to hike credit card interest rates or fees before February.
Frank called Bank of America's promise "welcome" but added that lenders have otherwise abused the grace period given to them by Congress. Further, he said, the bank's pledge was an indication that credit card companies could be forced to comply with the law sooner than planned.

Blasphemy Is Back as 'Hate' Legislation Threatens Freedom of Speech, Warns CivitasLegislation and the politically–motivated prosecution of individuals for "religious hatred" is merely the reintroduction of ancient blasphemy laws which threaten freedom of speech, a new publication by independent think tank Civitas has warned.
In a book titled A New Inquisition: Religious Persecution in Britain Today, Jon Gower Davies, formerly the Head of Religious Studies at Newcastle University, reveals the "bizarre and oppressive nature of judicial attempts to prosecute individuals for religious hatred" and of how this "new legal concept has resulted in some singularly worrying court cases," a Civitas press release said.
"Hate legislation removes an increasing quantity of matters traditionally dealt with in civil society to the domain of the state and the courts," Civitas continued, adding that this was merely the old Blasphemy Law "by the backdoor."
Civitas pointed out that the Blasphemy Law was abolished in 2008, but has re-emerged in a new and radically augmented guise.
"Today, individuals are not charged with blasphemy, but with causing 'religiously aggravated intentional harassment, alarm or distress' under the Public Order Act.
"Jon Davies argues that the growth in accusations of 'hate crime' threatens freedom of speech because they destroy the possibility and practice of open, sociable and critical discussion of religion.
"Whilst the total number of racial and religious hate crimes fell from 13,201 in 2006-7 to 11,845 in 2008-9, the volume of hate legislation has rapidly expanded," Civitas continued.
"There are now more than 35 Acts of Parliament, 52 Statutory Instruments, 13 Codes of Practice, 3 Codes of Guidance and 16 European Commission Directives which bear on 'discrimination.' And most recently, the Single Equality Act was passed by Parliament in April 2010."
Despite all this legislation, a proper legal definition of 'hatred' remains elusive. According to the new Civitas book, a government action plan states that a "(religious) hate crime is a criminal offence which is perceived, by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by a hostility or prejudice based on a persons religion or perceived religion."
Furthermore, Civitas points out, "hatred" is "not only presented as an offence on its own account, but can also be seen as something which aggravates ordinary public order offences. When an ordinary offence is aggravated by 'hatred' based on race, religion, gender, or age, then the sentence too is 'aggravated' (i.e. increased)."
Jon Davies argues that these 'definitions' are without substance, and inevitably result in confusion and silliness in their application.
"The attempt to define a 'hate incident' in terms of 'hostility' results in perilous imprecision: it is not possible to know when individuals have been hated — or, indeed, when they have themselves been hating — and for how long and to what depth and to what effect.
"The essence of the criminal justice system should be justice and impartiality, but turning religious hatred into a criminal offence turns police, the Crown Prosecution Service and judges into surrogate theologians — a kind of theocracy (an uncomfortable theocracy at that) by the backdoor," the book says.
"To demonstrate the oppressive oddity of judicial attempts to regulate religious hatred, Jon Davies describes the 2009 case of Ben and Sharon Vogelenzang, owners of the Bounty House Hotel in Liverpool.
"Following a discussion between the Vogelenzangs and a guest at their hotel, Mrs Erica Tazi, about the respective merits of her religion (Islam) and theirs (Christianity), Mrs Tazi made a formal complaint to the Merseyside police about what she said were offensive remarks made by the Vogelenzangs.
"They were subject to a grim and prolonged ordeal when they were accused of a religiously aggravated hate crime. For several months they were pursued by the police and the Crown Prosecution Service.
"The Vogelenzangs were prosecuted contrary to the evidence; when the full story came to court, it transpired that a Muslim doctor had also been eating breakfast in the hotel and found nothing objectionable about the couple's conduct. Jon Davies calls the case: '...a hackle-raising demonstration of disquieting changes in the relationship between our history, the citizen, his or her religion, his or her civil society and the state'.
"He argues that hate legislation has demolished several of the traditional defences of the citizen. For example, the 'burden of proof' is effectively reversed under section 66(5) of the Equality Act (2006), because whilst by long-established practice the Vogelenzangs should have been regarded as innocent until proven guilty: '[There was a] public presumption of culpability... the local NHS authority [which provided 80 per cent of the Bounty House income] cancelled their bookings'.
"There is evidence of at best arbitrary, at worst biased, application of the law. In a recent case a Muslim man defaced a war memorial (a Christian and national symbol) in Burton upon Trent.
"He sprayed the words 'Islam will dominate the world-Osama is on his way' and 'Kill Gordon Brown' across the plinth. He was prosecuted for criminal damage, that is for neither a racially nor a religiously aggravated offence."
Recommended reading: A New Inquisition: Religious Persecution in Britain Today
By Jon Gower Davies — Open societies in which we try to settle our differences without violence have been a great human achievement. However, because freedom of speech is the prevailing view in Britain, we are not as alert to the risk of its overthrow as we should be.
Jon Gower Davies, former Head of the Religious Studies Department at the University of Newcastle, examines the new legal concept of religious hatred and provides striking examples from recent legal cases to reveal the oppressive and bizarre nature of judicial attempts to regulate such things.
Hate legislation removes an increasing quantity of matters traditionally dealt with in civil society, to the domain of the state and the courts.
Furthermore, the exercise of such legislation seems to create the very atmosphere it was designed to prevent - hatred.
Jon Davies warns against developments which will make traditional public debates about religion and its critics impossible. He hopes for a British culture which validates a public seeking for religious truth and is more or less at ease with jokes and ribaldries, and he is profoundly ill at ease with censorship of them or with threats made against their authors. Jon Davies shows why the liberal majority needs to reassert the convention that the law should be used not as a weapon to suppress unpopular opinions, but rather as the protector of free speech.

Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a buy with a ratings score of B-. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, attractive valuation levels, increase in net income and good cash flow from operations. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat disappointing return on equity.
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass
- The revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 17.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 16.1%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- NVDA's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.00 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 4.28, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry. The net income increased by 49.9% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $116.03 million to $173.97 million.
- Net operating cash flow has slightly increased to $451.01 million or 9.86% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, NVIDIA CORP has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -56.72%.
