I can't believe that today is my last day of vacation. Where did the time go? Here is a list of how I spent my vacation:
1) Hosted my aunt and uncle for a few days: It is always fun to have them visit. We get to hear them play some good music, have nice talks and play board games! On this trip, they brought their digital recorder and recorded a live performance of themselves playing with Sabina!
2) Spent time with my dad: Dad came to visit us from Panama. Even though he knows what out weather is like here, it was still a shock coming from the tropics! We had some good times and good food!
3) Spent the entire vacation being sick! I started with a sore throat and no voice, got somewhat better and then got another throat bug...yuck!
4) Baked and cooked: My favorites include the stained glass cookies, Ruben's empanadas and making homemade cranberry sauce.
5) Read: I was able to get in some good reading time over the break. I just finished this good book. Check it out if you like murder mysteries! Sabina has been enjoying this book. (I must admit, I like her book too!)
6) Went back to the gym! Aaron got us on a new idea. We have set a monthly goal for miles to walk, run, bike, etc. He sent us a program to track our miles and we will make our way around the U.S. Cool!
I really like this whole vacation thing. I do not want to go back to work but I guess it will take me one step closer to my next vacation!

The ego has landed.... in rehab.
Happy birthday, and happy sobering-up, Robbie!
How could someone this hot have a drug problem? It just doesn't seem fair. Look at that intense stare. He looks like a man with many demons, doesn't he? Many demons that I'd like to rip the clothes off of and make out with until my mouth hurts.
I met Robbie Williams on the rooftop bar of the downtown LA Standard Hotel once. He touched my left boob. I haven't washed it since.

Congratulations to Mrs. Jan and Mr. Mon for their baby girl, Jasmine.
I was so overwhelmed with joy when I saw the picture on her YM. I was so happy as though I was the one who gave birth. Its really amazing how pictures of babies can give you happiness. Itu belum lagi main dengan baby, kan?
Babies, they have no sin. That's probably why we find peace in us just by looking at their faces. They still have no hijab. Their unconcious side is still open. Therefore, whatever you say to the baby will affect them sooner or later.
Actually, the unconcious side of the baby is already open even as early as 3 months towards 9 months in their mummy's belly. That is why mothers....Beware of the tounge. Whatever you say or do will affect the baby. That is also why, education to your child starts during pregnancy stage. The baby is learning from their mother at very very early stage.
Some may not be aware, but, this is why in Islam, pregnant mothers are adviced to read the Quran more often during their pregnancy period. And it is told that certain Surah in the Quran have certain affects to the child. For example Surah Al Fatihah, Yusuf, Maryam, At Taubah, Luqman.
And one thing for sure, though I always dream of having my own child....Of course, I have to get married first...
Child is a trust from Allah.
Child is a gift from Allah.
Therefore, longing for it and actually having it is one big difference in feeling and also responsibility.
Are you ready? Am I ready? Allah knows best.
Buat masa ini, kalau bukan rezeki Allah nak beri pada kita nikmat berkeluarga.... Apa yang boleh saya buat? Tumpang kasih dengan kawan-kawan yang sudah dikurniakan rezeki itu. Hehehe....
So, my dear friends out there.... Nak main ngan baby korang buleh tak?
I sanggup jadi Babysitter F.O.C....hehehe

Stacy Trasancos and the sign of the cross...
Stacy Trasancos rightly observes that, "The sign of the cross is the sacramental seal that marks the forehead of those who belong to Christ" while noting that the early Church Fathers "knew the seal brings protection against demons." ("The gift of the 'sphragis,'" The Catholic Free Press, June 14, 2013 edition).
It is true that the sign of the cross "strengthens us in temptations and difficulties" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2157). But this sacramental does not automatically bring protection against demons as some sort of ersatz magical wand against the diabolical.
Sacramentals are sacred signs, whether objects such as scapulars or medals or holy water, or actions such as the sign of the cross, whose effects are obtained by the prayer of the Church (Canon 1166). Unlike the sacraments, which were instituted by Christ and which effect grace by virtue of themselves, sacramentals are instituted by the Church and impart grace according to the disposition of the recipients and the intercession of the Church.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches us that, "Sacramentals do not confer the grace of the Holy Spirit in the way that the sacraments do, but by the Church's prayer, they prepare us to receive grace and dispose us to cooperate with it. 'For well-disposed members of the faithful, the liturgy of the sacraments and sacramentals sanctifies almost every event of their lives with the divine grace which flows from the Paschal mystery of the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Christ. From this source all sacraments and sacramentals draw their power..'" (CCC, 1670, citing Sacrosanctum concilium, No. 61).
As Christians we are more than conquerors through the shed Blood of Jesus Christ (Romans 8: 37-39). The Lord Jesus gives His people who are faithful to Him (are well-disposed) the power and authority over demonic forces. But if one is not living an authentically Catholic life - avoiding mortal sin while making use of the sacraments of the Church (including the sacrament of reconciliation), daily prayer and Scripture reading, one can make the sign of the cross and it surely will not serve as a seal which brings protection against demons.
I knew a woman who made frequent use of the sign of the cross while serving as an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist at Saint Joseph's Parish in Gardner, Massachusetts. Unfortunately, this woman also promoted abortion and pro-abortion politicians such as John Olver while engaging in sexual intercourse outside of marriage and making no secret of it.
Sacramentals are most helpful to us in the spiritual life if we are living an authentically Catholic life and are well-disposed to receiving grace from Christ and His Church. Otherwise, we use them in vain.

Is that what you think, My child ?
calm down, trust Me, don't be riled
I am always at your side,
don't forget, also for you I died.
The world makes a lot of noise
those who don't follow, it gladly destroys.
I work in silence to open the doors
I will provide you the perfect oars
to steer your boat in My direction
which will request a lot of circumspection.
For you I don't set exorbitant expectations
nor turn away when I see your frustrations
I never promised you life would be easy
more often than not it can be very cheesy.
Stay with Me, My child, don't ever leave Me
I hold you tight each time you want to flee
you are so much Mine, I need you, I need you
when it's difficult I pull you through.
I promised you the victory
which presently might seem contradictory
but know My child that GOD NEVER LIES
the way I will act will be a surprise.
Come rest at My Heart while My Love is mounting
and every hair on your head I have been counting.
Walk in My footsteps it's your only security
to continue your life in innocence and purity.
This world is heading for total destruction
'cause it surrendered to the evil one's seduction.
Offer Me all your doubts and hardships
and I will turn them into Divine Worships.
I wait for you, My daughter
to refresh your soul with My Salvation Water.
Your Jesus, Your Lord and Savior who loves you more than you can imagine.

Your Weekend Sports Update
Alabama didn't even play, but somehow wiggled into the fourth spot in the College Football Playoff committee's final rankings released Sunday.
Alabama, No. 5 last week, moved up as Auburn, formerly No. 2, lost to Georgia in the SEC Championship game and No. 4 Wisconsin lost to Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship game. Clemson, which blew out Miami in the ACC title game, is No. 1 in the rankings ahead of Oklahoma, the Big 12 champion. Georgia is third, Bama fourth.
That sets up another Clemson-Alabama battle in the playoffs – the third in four years. Clemson won the national title last year, defeating Alabama with a touchdown on the final play of the game. The final four play on New Year's Day.
The entire bowl lineup – from Alamo on down – was also set. Check those giant charts online or in your favorite newspaper to see where your team wound up.
NFL: The Minnesota Vikings (10-2) won their eighth straight game, beating the Atlanta Falcons 14-9 and not allowing the Falcons (7-5) a touchdown. The Vikings hold the top spot in the NFC playoff race after the Philadelphia Eagles (10-2) saw their nine-game winning streak end with a 24-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks (8-4).The New England Patriots (10-2) also won their eighth straight, wearing out the Buffalo Bills 23-3. The Bills are 6-6. The New Orleans Saints (9-3) took over sole possession of first place in the NFC South with their 31-21 win over the Carolina Panthers (8-4).
In streaks of a different order, the Cleveland Browns (0-12) lost for the 12th straight time (duh), falling 19-10 to the Los Angeles Chargers (6-6), who are in a three-way tie for first in the AFC West. The Denver Broncos (3-9) lost their eighth straight, absorbing a 35-9 pounding from the Miami Dolphins (5-7), who snapped a five-game losing streak.
GOLF: Tiger Woods finished ninth in his Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas in his first competitive golf rounds in 10 months following back surgery. Rickie Fowler won the event; Woods shot 68 in the final round and said, "I'm excited. This is the way I've been playing at home."
ELSEWHERE: No. 1 UConn came from 11 down to defeat No. 3 Notre Dame and capture its 69th consecutive home victory.

After our long walk around the Washington, DC Monuments, we went to the Air and Space Museum and then to the National Botanical Gardens. After the crowds of the museum and the long slog of the monument tour, The Botanical Gardens were quiet, relaxing and incredibly beautiful.
We slowed way down and walked through all the various gardens and displays
and saw some incredible plants and water features.
We spent the most time in the Children's Garden, found outside, in the middle of the Botanical Gardens' building. This part of the exhibit is designed for the child who is tired of being told to Look With Your Eyes and Don't Touch. There were watering cans to use and fairy houses to visit:
Henry even enjoyed the fairy house which is amazing, considering that he could barely fit through it's door.
The Children Elliot got right to work.
We watered and scrubbed until that Children's Garden was soaked and sparkling clean. The United State's government is free to send my children a check for their services or if it would prefer, we'd happily accept a deduction on our taxes.
After the Children's Garden, we followed the trail into the first of three rain forests that we visited on this particular trip to DC. Yes, you did read that sentence correctly. Our family did three separate activities that included an artificial rain forest over the short time frame of four days.
but we weren't aware - at this point - that we were going to be rain forest experts by the end of the trip and so the journey to the rain forest room at the Botanical Gardens was simply pure fun and excitement.
We left the Gardens feeling rejuvenated and happy. It was an incredible first day in DC.

Do you want a relationship but fear it at the same time? Are you afraid to let people get close to you for fear of them finding out the "real" you? if so, you may be suffering from the fear of intimacy.
Well if you do, you're not alone. Unfortunately, many of us walk around with this disorder, and it's keeping us from entering into the kind of relationships God wants us to enjoy, not only with others, but with Him as well.

Alimony and Spousal Support
Advocating For Your Best Interests
Understanding the Divorce Process in Florida
Alimony and Spousal Support | Nobody goes into marriage expecting to file for divorce, but the statistics show that as many as 50 percent of Americans eventually will. Known as a "Dissolution of Marriage," all Florida divorce procedures are similar. However, the particulars of every case are different, so it's important to have a knowledgeable family law attorney like John DeGirolamo when navigating the process.
Starting the Process
A divorce in Florida begins when one spouse states that the marriage is "irretrievably broken" or there are "irreconcilable differences" and files a Petition For Dissolution of Marriage. To complete the request, one spouse must show at least six months of Florida residency, but there aren't any requirements to prove infidelity or abuse to file in Florida. The initial petition includes "wants" and "needs" that the filing spouse has for things such as property, alimony, child custody and child support.
Serving the Petition
After the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage is filed by an attorney in the record, the other party must be officially served and allowed sufficient time to answer. A sheriff or other court-approved server of process will deliver the petition to the opposing spouse, who has 20 days to respond. If the spouse is unavailable, an experienced divorce lawyer can be successful at finding alternative means to serve the spouse you wish to divorce. John DeGirolamo knows the due diligence necessary to locate the person and will find them.
Contested vs. Uncontested
While working with a skilled family lawyer will facilitate a smooth divorce, the biggest factor will be the level of cooperation. A Florida divorce can be either contested or uncontested. In an uncontested divorce, each person agrees to the settlement terms and everything is negotiated beforehand. Once the divorce attorney files all the paperwork with the court, it can resolve in as little as four to five weeks. A contested divorce means that the court will determine what the final settlement is, as the two parties cannot agree. This process takes longer. Depending on the local court jurisdiction, it can be six months to a year before the case even reaches a Judge. John DeGirolamo works extremely hard to obtain the soonest court dates and force opposing counsels to meet terms so as to speed up the process.
Choosing a Family Law Attorney
Some people attempt to represent themselves in a divorce, but it isn't advisable. The average layperson does not have a full grasp on the laws pertaining to Florida divorce and will not be able to assess their rights and responsibilities adequately. A divorce attorney will ensure that their client has a strong case with proper advocacy. Each half of the couple should have separate representation to avoid a conflict of interest. The court will appoint an attorney in cases of financial hardship, and the defending spouse could also be ordered to pay attorney fees and costs.
Understanding Restraining Orders
If there is violence in a relationship, especially if children are involved, it is critical to consult a divorce lawyer. To protect the at-risk partner, John DeGirolamo may advise you to seek a restraining order. A temporary restraining order can mitigate immediate risk and provide safety to you and your child(ren). Once a Judge hears the case, usually within days, a permanent order can be issued that will bar the violent partner from entering the family home or even being in the vicinity of the injured spouse of child(ren). There does not need to be a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage in place to file a restraining order.
Child Support and Custody
There is no bigger point of contention in a divorce than the care and custody of children. If both parents don't agree, a good family lawyer will ensure that the law is understood. There are legal parameters for child support settlements, called the "child support guidelines." Also, the Judge can insist that mediation with a parenting coordinator occur, and if an agreement is reached, then the finalized parenting plan is legally binding. Each parent is given consideration for custody in Florida, but the courts favor arrangements where children have one permanent home. If a parent is not paying child support as ordered, the custodial parent cannot refuse visitation. However, the family law attorney can request that the court garnishes their wages or hold them in contempt.
Alimony and Spousal Support, Assets
Florida uses principles of equitable distribution to determine assets and liabilities in a divorce. In general, each spouse shares 50 percent of the property, even if one spouse did not work outside the home. The court may award the custodial parent with ownership of the home, and this may affect the distribution of assets even when both parties are still legally responsible for the mortgage. A Judge has significant leeway when determining alimony awards and can require anything from short-term to permanent payments from the primary breadwinner in the marriage. It is common, however, to award durational alimony to match the length of the marriage.

"We will need each month to determine hopeless comrades who have from Saturday to Saturday, nothing happens. They may work on Saturdays or moonlit nights, nothing is affected. Can affect only direct administrative effect. Let's be each time you do the analysis, where there is no dynamics, the month looked, can't achieve results, we will shake hands and say goodbye," — said Aksenov at the meeting with heads of municipalities of the Republic.

Pastures New: House of Black LanternsTweet
Dylan Richards, the artist formerly known as King Cannibal, refines and strips down his once brutal sound palette for his new album 'Kill The Lights' under his newly minted 'House of Black Lanterns' alias. Employing subtlety and restraint over brutality and noise, Richards weaves sonic tapestries rich with detail and dripping with underlying menace, darkness and sci-fi/horror tendencies, in the process creating one of the most thought provoking releases so far this year with.
Following strong offerings from Call Super and the debut HoBL EP 'Truth and Loss', 'Kill The Lights' – released via Fabric's new in-house label, Houndstooth – shows this year's breakthrough label going from strength-to-strength. With forthcoming releases planned from shady mancunian duo Akkord, the debut album from Throwing Snow and Augustus Ghosts' Snow Ghosts project on top of the well-received, long-awaited studio return to of techno legend Dave Clarke, on his new collaborative undertaking with Mr Jones under the '_Unsubscribe_' moniker, Fabric and Houndstooth are clearly in it for the long haul.
We took to Skype to ask Richards a few questions about the album, Houndstooth, in-ya-face-dread and the break up with Ninja Tune.
How long was the album in the making before its release? Were you working on it before you hooked up with Houndstooth or was this project specifically for them?
I think the oldest material goes back to 3 years ago, which was much the same with some of the stuff on the King Cannibal album. It was kinda tightened up when they came on board as they went through and picked out what they liked and we both decided what would make for the best album, then I wrote a few more bits for the album, the last track being 'You, Me, Metropolis.' But some tracks were written in bits and pieces over a three year course.
So this album was in the making whilst King Cannibal was still alive and kicking?
Yes, certainly so. After the King Cannibal album I was approached by an A&R to do a major label project, he hooked me up with Catherine Pockson (of the Alpines) to work on some ideas – this was the time that Skream remixed La Roux and majors were courting Magnetic Man. He had an idea to do a bass project more in keeping with the Bristol sound of the late 90s, as they were going to just go straight pop. So I was working on this project and whilst I didn't really feel all the instructions from the A&R chap, I still thought it was a valid idea. I went to Ninja with it and they thought so too, but didn't want to put any time in on shaping it with me. It is very very difficult to make a radio friendly album like that on your own with little resources so I just wrote whatever it is I wanted to.
As bass music went further in to the charts (and this was even before the U.S took hold of it), it got less and less inspiring. I was inspired by Instra:mental's early 4×4 tracks, so I started listening to records I like, a lot of the Trax stuff – a record like Phuture – 'Your Only Friend' has so much darkness in there and artists like Monolake… It isn't a stretch really.
Understated darkness though…
Yeah sure.
Rather than in-ya-face-dread…
Heh, well – that has never been something I really tried to ever do on my stuff; I just like those tones and are naturally drawn to them I guess.
So Ninja stopped supporting what you wanted to do then?
It felt like maybe they had certain ideas when signing me that had then changed. Also I was looking at the other artists I was playing next to and feeling like I had less and less in common with them. Djing after Toddla T wasn't exactly what I had in mind, and it felt like I was getting more and more pushed right to the end or start of their nights. I started getting really sick and tired of fighting for my music at that point – it was a struggle.
What did they want you to do?
I have no idea and that was the point. All communications were about what was wrong, what they didn't like – but never anything about what they actually wanted. I'm guessing that's because they didn't actually know.
Ahh – very un-motivational?
Well… I mean there are things I could go in to, but it's probably best not to!
So as well as the practicalities we have mentioned, were there any other reasons you decide to kill off King Cannibal? In my opinion the sound you were pushing is still fresh and relatively unexplored. By that I mean the meshing of tech step, dubstep and dancehall. Not many people are exploring that apart from maybe The Bug, but your sound was pretty far removed from that.
Some things best exist as ideas and concepts, the practicalities of it don't always work out. For shows I was playing often with a lot of people like straight up dubstep and whilst I could lean things that way it just resulted in a skewed version of what I originally wanted to do. It is hard to write music without feeling like enough people understand it to make it viable. Like, first and foremost I write for ME, but the market that it was getting to was a small one.
I'm not saying that is dead forever, I've often tinkered with the idea of making it more of an arts-based project and doing really heavy modern classical stuff or just straight up DnB.
Modern classical along the same kind of lines that Roly Porter (of Vex'd) is making?
Yes, I guess that kind of thing.
I guess they suffered the same types of feeling that you did with their Vex'd project, being lazily lumped in with dubstep…
I've spoken to Jamie about it once, and from my memory he had similar thoughts – it was ages ago though.
So how did you hook up with Rob Booth?
So, with things not to my liking with Ninja I spent a fair amount of time hanging on and just writing, before having to force their hand and get out of the contract. I started talking to Jon Convex – swapping tunes and stuff, and we started planning to release the House of Black Lantern's album on Convex Industries which gave me a big boost. By that point it had been a long time since I'd had anything out or been asked for material.
He had things come up and I was talking to Rob who had just started work heading Houndstooth (although the label name wasn't even decided at this point). It seemed like a punt but I mentioned that I had all this material if he wanted to check it out. They were very responsive to it all, and I'm happy to say that 3 years or so later the album is done and out – there were times I didn't think this would ever come out at all!
Did they allow you complete freedom, final cut as it were?
There were certain things they wanted, like Rob really pushed for another juke track as he liked Truth & Loss so much.
Hence 'You, Me, Metropolis'?
Yes exactly. But we both worked on whatever would make for the best rounded album. I had spent so long asking Ninja to be involved, it was great to finally get input.
Tracks like 'Murder Us' or 'So… Embrace The Minimum' both embrace the 4×4 patterns, warm filtered reeses, dub techno stabs and the spring reverb effects that are still so prevalent on 'Kill the Lights' , with that in mind are the comments saying that House of Black Lanterns is a fairly big departure from King Cannibal actually true in your eyes?
Well, I don't think many things in life can be sectioned off so easily, people, relationships, ideas – they all change, but it is slowly over a long period of time. I guess the difference is that this material is less aggressive, it is less 'smash you over the head with a brick.'
I could never really listen to the King Cannibal album all the way through; I wanted to write a more rounded album that I could look forward to listening to. If I'd done 'Shot You Down' or 'Names' as King Cannibal I probably would have got some funny looks!
Has moving to Berlin affected your sound at all? Whereas before the DNA of London's bass-culture ran through the veins of your King Cannibal work, there is a lot more emphasis on the minimalism and dub flecked tendencies of Berlin techno on 'Kill The Lights.' Was this intentional?
It is odd. The Berlin aspect has worried me, as when I was writing this material the cliché wasn't to stop making dubstep and make house music – there was a period of people moaning about it on twitter – I didn't want to be seen as a guy that packed up his studio, went to Panorama bar and then "found house music".
Apart from 'Beg,' all the 4×4 tracks were written in London or Brighton. I've not been out to loads and loads of clubs but there is a lot of good music from here that has influenced the album. But I mean – I'd heard of Rhythm & Sound long before I'd heard of Hardwax. I find Berlin a funny place and not one I enjoy as a musician really.
You know you can't escape the question of darkness in your work so here it is…
Haha! I'm that 'darkness' guy now?
You are the go to gloom merchant, where do these inclinations come from?
Well… I'm a grumpy bastard firstly! Probably due to listening to late 90s DnB too much as well! But yeah, not so much for the King Cannibal stuff, but for this I was going through a number of difficult things in my personal life. I lost hearing in one ear for a period of time, I had some difficult family issues going on, I broke up with my ex-partner, label issues – I mean there was just a year or more of one thing after another, so I just had to push all of that in to my music. I decided to write about how I was feeling, like most song writers tend to do.
I've tried to write happier sounding things but emotions are rounded and to write something just purely happy seems a bit odd to me, I've always tried to balance things a lot more. I get nervous if a track sounds to 'happy' as maybe I am guilty of equating 'happy' to 'cheesy.'
I used to lurk on the DOA forum back in the day, so have seen first-hand your evolution in sound design…
Ah okay – yeah, people often call it sound design too. That is one reason why the King Cannibal album was the way it was, I wanted to use drum & bass sounds but wasn't confident enough in production to make a DnB album. it is such a cut throat genre, I mean, you can have a great song, but if the mix is shit then the whole things is branded shit. So, I figured – hey if I do my own thing, people won't be able to compare it to other people's mixdowns. That being said, I think I read recently that you should be trying to write something that sounds 'new', not something that sounds 'good'.
You have worked with a fair few vocalists on this album, firstly, were you one of them?
Reluctantly as a result of getting frustrated on not knowing enough vocals or having to wait for people – it was a real throwback to the Chicago house sound.
Do you enjoy the collaborative effect of working with external people?
It can sometimes actually make things more difficult. When it comes to live shows how do you have this music performed when it draws on people living in 3 different countries?
The stuff you did with Juakali is very reminiscent of some of the stuff Spaceape has done with Kode9. Is this spoken-word-dread the type of thing you were expecting when working with him, or did you envisage something different?
The original vocals on 'Like A Warrior' had singing parts to them and by pitching his vocals down I probably placed him more in to the Spaceape realm than he actually is. They are both very different characters but it was what I wanted from him and I stripped things down as much as I could.
The thought of Spaceape wasn't even running through my mind at the time, but I can see why there have been comparisons and much of that is my doing. Sorry Jua!
Is it difficult for you to strip stuff down, seeing as you come from a more maximal background of music?
Oh no, I mean – there is still loads and loads going on, in fact the session sizes and sounds used vastly eclipse the King Cannibal stuff it is just they are different, less impactful type of tunes and so need to be treated differently. I'm all about detail in production.
So no 8-bar grime from you in the future then?
Sometimes I feel like I'm one of the few people of my age who didn't grow up liking 2-step which has come to light recently, especially by the Boiler Room which is a bit of a haven for it.
What's next for you? What are your plans for the future?
Seeing what comes naturally and avoiding peoples input on what should make up the next body of work. Whilst I do welcome feedback it isn't actually feedback if there isn't any material yet. If I sit down to write something with a goal in mind, I instantly want to go the opposite way and it doesn't provide very good results.
Immediately though I'm planning a full visual show and trying to get a good live show in place. I've got a few 12″s lined up with Hypercolour and Apple Pips alongside a next Houndstooth release which has some pretty exiting contributors!

Dear God:
Today, I am thankful for time to imagine.
Imagine yourself coming back
10 years from today
Through time,
to help you where
you must now be.
~Jim Cohn
As I ponder Jim Cohn's quote, I'm having trouble envisioning my future. Mainly because my life is at a record low, and, through my tears and anxious moments, I can't imagine what things will be like ten years from now. So, I'm not sure what advice "future me" would offer "present me." Not a healthy situation for a visionary.
A friend who survived her season of tough times writes me. She says that a decade from now, as I look back on my life, I will be amazed at my journey - things I did, people I met, places I visited, pieces I wrote.
My regret, of course, is that I can't see this now. I can only imagine.
For this blessing, I am grateful.

The sun is shining and there's a nice breeze blowing. If I could just get away from the sound of someone's leaf blower, it'd be PERFECT!!
I am putting the last minute touches on my lesson plans for today. I have my long teaching day on Thursdays, so will have to wait until this evening to get to my Gratitude journal sketches. I'd love to get two done this evening, though, so I can slowly catch up and have a drawing for every day of the month. I started on the 4th, so I am a few days behind.
My pug is snoring next to my feet, resting his head on a plastic hanger. I am crazy about him, but he is a bit of a weirdo (my daughter's description, not mine!). He chews plastic hangers like they were Nylabones or something. It is pretty funny, watching him trying to negotiate small spaces while carrying a hanger with him. He's an odd duck, but we love him nonetheless. There is a long story that I might share with you sometime about how we acquired this pug (our THIRD dog---- yep, we are crazy dog people here). We weren't looking for him, but he certainly found us and weasled his way into our dog-lovin' hearts (the little weirdo).
Anyway, if you like dogs, pop on over and check out my dog site sometime. You can find the link on the right sidebar of my blog. I'll check back in later tonight.

Thanks for your comment on my blog. And for the YouTube link to Sophie swimming - she is a hoot! Just loved seeing that tail wagging the entire time. Sammie would be right there with her in the pool given a chance. He dives for rocks in the creek here.
They are something else - that's for sure!

The north London side finished in fifth place in the Premier League table last season to miss out on a Champions League spot for the first time under Arsene Wenger.
While Chelsea have an extra two days to prepare for the contest, Wenger has told his players he does not expect it to make a big difference.
Chelsea endured a hard start to the life under Antonio Conte last season but eventually lifted the title in May.
The Billy Goats, as they are nicknamed, have faced Arsenal before in European competition, playing Bertie Mee's Arsenal in the semi-finals of the European Fairs Cup during the club's first double season in 1970/71.
"Obviously if we play well and we play our game and we are very focused on this Europa League, we want to go and win it, we are very ambitious and I am looking forward to the game tomorrow".

"As a top club you are expected to play two-three times a week so we have to be able to cope with that". Latvian striker Artjoms Rudnevs is the only player the Koln boss does not have at his disposal ahead of the trip to Emirates on Thursday, missing out due to illness. If he is injury-free, he will come back to his best.
He said: "The season before was not a good one for them [Chelsea]". Arsenal my have had a battle-hardened core of English veterans, but Wenger nearly immediately brought with him a change of focus toward continental players and methods that saw careers extended and trophies lifted. Manager Jose Mourinho made winning the competition a priority as United slipped to a sixth-placed finish in the Premier League.
However, the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Olivier Giroud and Hector Bellerin were all involved in the first team training session at London Colney, suggesting that they are likely to be involved in some capacity.
Meanwhile, Manchester forked out £200m this summer and overall Premier League clubs spent over £1.4billion.
He was supposed to be Arsenal's saviour and future captain for many years to come but very little has gone to plan for Jack Wilshere thus far.

As we said before, we couldn't get enough and kept on coming back to the same stall at the Chinese Market in Kashgar. This noodle soup straight from the wok took our beloved vendor two minutes to cook up. Watch and learn:
First cook thin rice noodles and bok choy in boiling water.
When the noodles are cooked remove from the flame and strain. Transfer into a bowl and add a ladle of meat broth made with pieces of meat, ginger, garlic and green onions.
Don't forget a spoonful of pickled greens (any cabbage will do), to add that Chinese Market flavor.
The same dish comes pre-packaged in styrofoam with lots of additives and MSG. It is a common dinner for the locals on the night train, as they pour boiling water, supplied by the somewhat irritated train staff, and slurp noisily, munching on raw pork sausage on the side. The Royals tried this and were appalled.

NHL GMs On The Vegas Golden Knights And The Expansion Draft
05/26/18 at 08:17 PM ET | Comments (1)
from Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review-Journal,
"I do think it's great for our league," Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman told NHL.com. "Las Vegas was awarded a franchise, and they paid a significant franchise fee to come into the league ($500 million). I think looking back, and I'm speaking a little bit out of turn here, but looking back at our league and the history of expansion, it's tough in some of the markets that … if that team doesn't have a chance for a few years, it's tough to grow that fan base.
"The rest of the league, it was tough on us because we were losing good players, but I think (commissioner) Gary Bettman did the right thing. I don't think anybody knew (the Knights) were going to be this competitive."
John Davidson, Columbus' president of hockey operations, said: "Through the expansion rules Vegas had a chance to get off to a successful start, and good for them. Now they're playing for the Cup. That's what dreams are made of."...
In the side deal with the Blue Jackets, the Knights drafted David Clarkson, which took his $5.25 million salary off Columbus' books, then were allowed to draft Karlsson. They also got two draft picks.
"Good for Will. He's a great kid," Davidson said.

Hockey Notes Today
05/26/18 at 07:42 PM ET | Comments (1)
from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,
USA Hockey's decision to make John Vanbiesbrouck one of its most prominent faces and forces by hiring the former Rangers (and Islanders and Devils) goaltender as assistant executive director of hockey operations is, at best, a tone-deaf call and, at worst, a willfully ignorant one.
Just over a year ago, the patriarchy faced a boycott from the national women's team over the administration's separate and unequal treatment. Now, to replace the beloved, late Jim Johansson as the organization's grassroots ambassador, this same body has selected an individual whose considerable accomplishments on the ice have been overshadowed by his conduct as the OHL Sault Ste. Marie general manager-coach 15 years ago, when he called his team captain, Trevor Daley, the N-word on more than one occasion and was forced to resign from his post in 2003....
continue for more on the above topic plus more items like this one,
The deal between the Islanders and Maple Leafs that allowed Lou Lamoriello to talk with John Tavares even while the exec was still under contract as a senior adviser to Toronto was orchestrated by ownership, Slap Shots has learned.
It is believed that neither Islanders' then-president and apparently still-GM Garth Snow nor the Maple Leafs' president Brendan Shanahan was aware of the agreement. In fact, we're further told that Snow and coach Doug Weight were kept out of the loop regarding ownership's talks with Lamoriello while the two men were scouting at the World Championships in Denmark.

from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,
- Will Mark Hunter be joining Lamoriello in mid-July when he's allowed to sign with another NHL team? "There's nothing going on at this time," Hunter told me. I asked if the key words were "at this time." He just laughed. I asked Lamoriello about Hunter, whom he greatly admires. Lamoriello giggled. He also giggled, for the record, first time I asked him about him going to the Islanders.
- Washington lost Karl Alzner, Justin Williams, Nate Schmidt, Kevin Shattenkirk and Marcus Johansson from last year's Capitals team and became a better team. Weird.

How did you do with your Conference Final picks? I don't even want to discuss mine!

The Vegas Golden Knights have home ice advantage (6-1 at home thru the first three rounds) but remember the Washington Capitals have an 8-2 road record during the post-season.
note- original post date was 5/24/19 at 1:35pm, Will be moving this post to the top of page until the puck drops so all have a chance to see and participate.

Barry Trotz Is In The Stanley Cup Final Without A Contract For Next Season
05/26/18 at 09:25 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Matthew Paras of the Washington Times,
Capitals coach Barry Trotz estimated he has received about 300 text messages since his team advanced to the Stanley Cup Final with a Game 7 win Wednesday over the Tampa Bay Lightning. Some of them were from people he hadn't heard from in "a while."
"I've got a lot more friends than I thought I did, which is good," Trotz said.
Trotz, though, seemed appreciative. This postseason, the 55-year-old has admitted he's more relaxed than he used to be. While he's kept the details private, he said experiences in his personal life have put the game of hockey in perspective.
In the last year of his contract, Trotz has responded with the best season of his career....
But Trotz is now in a good position to see a significant raise from his annual $1.5 million salary. The question becomes: will that come from the Capitals or another team?
"He's probably going to benefit from this too," MacLellan said. "It's not all not good for him. I think he's done a good job managing it. To come in this year with so many questions — not from my point of view, the lineup questions were that big a deal — but just the emotional state of our team coming in to start the year and how to handle that, I think he's done an outstanding job."

Will Goaltending Be The Difference In The Stanley Cup Final?
05/26/18 at 09:21 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Jeff Gordon of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
Thirteen years into his NHL career Alex Ovechkin is finally playing for the Stanley Cup. Postseason failure has dogged the Washington Capitals superstar.
Trouble is, goaltending is legal in the NHL, unlike the NBA. And goaltending can either carry a team to the Stanley Cup or doom it to playoff failure.
No individual athlete plays a bigger role in deciding team championships. One great goaltender can be the equivalent of an entire shutdown pitching staff.
A superstar like Ovechkin can hammer shot after shot after shot after shot at a hot goaltender and fail to propel his team. Breakaways, open one-timers, redirections, rebound whacks — a netmender in the zone can stop everything.
Conversely, one shaky goaltending performance is the baseball equivalent of the entire pitching staff tanking.

Uh Oh, Vegas City Officials Making Parade Plans
05/25/18 at 06:06 PM ET | Comments (7)
from Mick Akers of the Las Vegas Sun,
The Golden Knights are four wins away from capturing the Stanley Cup in their inaugural season, but Las Vegas and Clark County officials are already making tentative plans for a celebration.
"I think this has to be a big, blowout celebration," Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman said as the Golden Knights prepared to face the Washington Capitals at home on Monday for Game 1....
Clark County Commission Chairman Steve Sisolak said he's already talked to Metro Police and the county's Department of Public Works about a potential parade. The one group that doesn't want to get ahead of things, however, is the Golden Knights, he said.
"The Golden Knights really don't want to have this discussion; there's some level of superstition involved," Sisolak said. "They don't want to jinx anything revolving around any celebrations regarding their playoff success."

I will be around as normal and I expect hockey news picking up on Sunday, which is media day in Las Vegas.
So check back on occasion and stay safe.
Looks like a great weather weekend, with the temperature reaching the 90's on Sunday and Monday in the Detroit area. Hockey weather?
I was talking with a friend about the ice conditions in Vegas today and personally I haven't heard any issues with the ice conditions there, must by the dry heat!

I'm going to start this mini review off by saying this is the best 1000 gamerscore I have accomplished in the 3+ years I've owned an Xbox 360. American Wasteland achievements were average and Project 8's were bloody hard, Proving Ground did one up on Project 8 and as a result I didn't think I had it in me to ever get the 1000. After what must be around 100 hours I've done it and now I'm here to speak out about the horrors.
First things first not all gamerscore on this game is hard, I just counted 15 achievements which are gotten by simply completing the game pretty much which will give you a couple hundred of gamerscore, shouldn't be a problem. Next you have a few random miscellaneous achievements such as knocking a thug 150+ feet and making a skate video worth 20,000+ points, again causing you little to no trouble.
There's now 18 achievements dedicated to the street goals in the game. This is split up in to 6 section with each section having the Am, Pro and Sick all of the goals achievements. As you can probably imagine going for Sick in all of the goals is where I spent the majority of my time on this game. The majority of Sick goals took me about an hour to complete because after constant failure I'll get lucky and reach that 4,000,000 point combo or do all Classic goal tasks in 2 minutes. Minus a few goals it's pretty easy to Am all the goals and Pro can be done with a bit of effort, Sick is just stupid hard though. Also there is an achievement for getting Am and Pro on all the goals within the game, including the story driven ones. This was pretty straightforward and I am sure I could have gotten Sick on them too if it was needed, thankfully the developers had a heart and left Sick all goals achievement out.
After wasting time going around all the worlds modding every spot and finding all cash spots and gaps all that was left for me to do was to boost online. Now 1000 online games required me to boost for around 8 hours all on my own while my partner went out, quite a boring process if I may say. The wager achievement can be boosted easily enough but then there's the Online Domination achievement which requires you to win all 5 rounds in a match with 4 other people competing. No one was replying to my messages about boosting this so eventually I tried to get it on my own and after spamming messages at random people I found online (begging them to join my game lol) I finally had enough people required. Now I just had to go and beat them all 5 times which was a piece of cake but it didn't stop my heart pounding like crazy out of dear of messing up.
Final Verdict: - Completionists stay away, this game won't look pretty on your card. Up for playing a bit of Tony Hawk's? Stay away, the game is riddled with bugs and was never polished up for release, stay with American Wasteland/Project 8 or better yet try out Skate which is better. The only reason I can think of why you'd want to give this game a go is if you fancy a relatively enjoyable few hundred gamerscore boost to your total, not caring about ever completing the game. Good luck to anyone else who attempts to 1000 this game, it's got a TA score of about 6,000!

Fetus Mummies Were Likely King Tut's
Ongoing analysis on the mummified remains of two female fetuses buried in the tomb of Tutankhamun will most likely show that at least one of the stillborn children is the offspring of the teenage pharaoh, a scientist who carried serological analysis on the mummified remains told Discovery News.
"I studied one of the mummies, the larger one, back in 1979 [and] determined the blood group data from this baby mummy and compared it with my 1969 blood grouping of Tutankhamun.
"The results confirmed that this larger fetus could indeed be the daughter of Tutankhamen," said Robert Connolly, senior lecturer in physical anthropology from the University of Liverpool's Department of Human Anatomy and Cell Biology.Read the rest on Discovery.com.

No Greater Advocate for Students and Public Education
Whether Senator Gronstal has been a member of the Majority or Minority party in the Iowa Senate he has year in and year out led the way in successfully funding our public education institutions---the Area Education Agencies (AEA's), K-12 schools, Iowa's Community Colleges, and the Regents institutions.
As recent as the late 1980's, Iowa's teacher's salaries ranked as high as 26th in the nation. By the early 2000's our teacher salaries slipped to an all-time low of 42nd in the nation. Under Majority Leader Gronstal's leadership in the 2001 session, working with Governor Vilsack and colleagues in the Iowa House---Democrats made a promise to Iowa teachers to raise their salaries to the national average. In the 2005 session with Senator Gronstal leading the way---Democrats made their first investment in Iowa's educators, following again in the 2006 and 2007 session to keep their promise---acknowledging them for the great work they continue to do. Iowa's teachers on an average will have seen a $9,000 raise by the time they receive their paycheck in October 2008. Promises made, promises kept.

Prinsendam Cruise Review to Caribbean
Review Summary
I enjoyed the ship. It is a bit old, but is undergoing work as I write. The staff was great and very helpful. fourteen days on a ship can tax anyone, but I found something enjoyable every day. I have no qualms about taking the ship again and hope to do so in the future. Even the 'lower category' of cabin was great! Food in the Restaurant was great. Lido was not of that high caliber.
Pros: number of islands visited and the staff
Cons: Mayaguez stop -- limited shopping on board

Mindful, Day 175, Differing Paths
Today was the second full day of the workshop I am taking at the Appalachian Center for Crafts. It is on felting with inclusions of objects, threads, etc. I have not done this but sometimes it really is good for the brain to step out of your comfort zone and try something entirely new. I have no idea of how this might intersect with my art work in the future but for now it is enough to be in a class with other people and a wonderful teacher and see all the different interpretations we create based on the same instruction. Glad to be able to still learn!

Her sunrise departure from the El Paso Zoo followed two months of protests by animal-rights activists. The zoo director has resigned, and the city has agreed to pay a $5,000 fine to the federal government.

I saw that on a John Fedro blog. If what I said is true, is there another advantage to getting a dealers license? I figure many of us aren't really concerned with making a profit from selling homes to residents.
I've heard talk of getting a dealers license to buy directly from a home manufacturer. So maybe my question is different depending on if a home is bought from a private seller than a manufacturer? My guess has been that states require a licensed person to buy new homes from retailers for whatever reason–similar to how the public can't buy a car directly from Honda. I'm still trying to understand this concept.
Dealers license are only for buying from a manufacturer?
Or are they also needed to buy used homes?
Does if the sale makes a profit matter?
Only letting dealers buy at the wholesale price is a policy of the manufacturers, not a law. Anybody, dealer or not. can buy homes on the open market. When it comes to selling homes states have different laws regarding requiring a license. For example in Nebraska to sell a single home, a business must have a license, but in Illinois, it can sell three homes a year before needing a license.
This is state-specific
So if we have a dealers license, we can get dealer prices on new homes pretty much?
I saw there are different numbers for different states. Do you know if the number we can sell is contingent on if the sale makes a profit? That's what I read.
I see. I was hoping there's an easy answer. As always, thanks!
The answer may still be easy, but it depends on the state.

K. Andrew
Bio: K. Andrew Turner writes literary and speculative fiction, poetry, and dabbles in nonfiction as well. He has been painting with words since he was 12 years old, imagining worlds both far and near—and how to connect them with ours. Growing up in the foothills of San Gabriel Mountains of Southern California has influenced his writing style and his outlook on life. Searching for new perspectives led him across the vast Arizona desert to live in Albuquerque, NM for a brief—but full—two and half years where he rediscovered his love of learning and the written word. It was during this time that he blossomed into a writer and explored different avenues of spirituality. The high desert forced him out of his shell to grow as a person, to become comfortable being on his own. He fell in love with stark beauty of the natural landscape. Eventually, fate decided to returned him to Southern California to live and care for his paternal grandparents. It took him time, but he attended the Valley Poet's Society reading at a local book store. Here he fell for the simple, powerful poems of local authors. Through these readings he met other writers and was encouraged to submit his work. So far, his writing has appeared or been accepted to Chiron Review and Carnival Magazine. K. Andrew Turner is a creative mentor and freelance editor, and also teaches creative writing.

The Daily Telegraph has been on the case for a while and even the Times of London has been digging up dirt on the IPCC. But even the left-leaning, The Guardian in the UK is harassing the AGW alarmists. See here and here.
On this side of the water, the major networks and newspapers slumber on. But Walter Russell Mead, writing in The American Interest, declares the AGW scare to be dead.
"The global warming movement as we have known it is dead. Its health had been in steady decline during the last year as the once robust hopes for a strong and legally binding treaty to be agreed upon at the Copenhagen Summit faded away. By the time that summit opened, campaigners were reduced to hoping for a 'politically binding' agreement to be agreed that would set the stage for the rapid adoption of the legally binding treaty. After the failure of the summit to agree to even that much, the movement went into a rapid decline.
The movement died from two causes: bad science and bad politics.
After years in which global warming activists had lectured everyone about the overwhelming nature of the scientific evidence, it turned out that the most prestigious agencies in the global warming movement were breaking laws, hiding data, and making inflated, bogus claims resting on, in some cases, no scientific basis at all. This latest story in the London Times is yet another shocker; the IPCC's claims that the rainforests were going to disappear as a result of global warming are as bogus and fraudulent as its claims that the Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035. It seems as if a scare story could grab a headline, the IPCC simply didn't care about whether it was reality-based."
Read the rest here. The editors of the National Review Online have a nice summary of the situation in which they put AGW in its proper historical context:
"Exaggeration and alarmism have been a chronic weakness of environmentalism since it became an organized movement in the 1960s. Every ecological problem was instantly transformed into a potential world-ending crisis, from the population bomb to the imminent resource depletion of the "limits to growth" fad of the 1970s to acid rain to ozone depletion, always with an overlay of moral condemnation of anyone who dissented from environmental correctness. With global warming, the environmental movement thought it had hit the jackpot — a crisis sufficiently long-range that it could not be falsified and broad enough to justify massive political controls on resource use at a global level. Former Colorado senator Tim Wirth was unusually candid when he remarked in the early days of the climate campaign that "we've got to ride the global-warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing — in terms of economic policy and environmental policy." (Not surprisingly, after Wirth left the Senate and the Clinton administration he ended up at the United Nations.)Read the rest here.
The global-warming thrill ride looks to be coming to an end, undone by the same politically motivated serial exaggeration and moral preening that discredited previous apocalypses. On the heels of the East Anglia University "Climategate" scandal have come a series of embarrassing retractions from the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) regarding some of the most loudly trumpeted signs and wonders of global warming, such as the ludicrous claim that Himalayan glaciers would disappear within 30 years, that nearly half of the Amazon jungle was at imminent risk of destruction from a warming planet, and that there was a clear linkage between climate change and weather-related economic losses. The sources for these claims turned out to be environmental advocacy."
The whole environmentalist or "Green" movement has suffered a deep loss of credibility among people capable of critical thinking because of the uncritical treatment of the movement by the mainstream media. If it were not for the Internet, the scandal would not have been exposed. I'm not sure the mainstream media will ever fully recover from this blow to their credibility.

Abby threw herself around the house, whaling and just carrying on.
It was sad. This is her beside the couch where I was sitting. She would scream only when I would look at her.
Throwing herself in the corner.
Ohhh those crying pics are too funny!! Poor little girl. She'll make it though. Stick to your guns.
Hilarious!!!! I love that you are so REAL with your posts ya know...some people just post as if life is soooo perfect all the time with their kiddos. You show the real life as a mommy...it IS hard but glad you stuck to it. Hope you poured a glass of wine after that!
Dear Lord... I remember the no paci days with Ashlynn. Her and Abby seem to of have much of the same reactions. The part about she would only scream if you looked at her... that was Ashlynn. And when I did look at her it was scream bloody murder, drag out the word NO as long as possible and wave her hand at me to stop looking at her. And whatever you do girl... don't let go of that stroller when he starts wiggling to get out. I made that mistake ONCE and the tumbling of a child in a stroller gets 101 more stares than an enraged child. Just so you know. Whew!

Pink is awesome. I saw her on a talk show recently promoting her new single "Stupid Girls". The video mocks such celebrities as Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton. She is really into empowerment and not selling herself short, which is quite different from some of her contemporary colleagues.
I like her 'pink' hair too.
