The Innocent Convict
We left Buxton in the midst of a deep snow, and after a very cold and wretched journey arrived at Elton* the next day. During the time we were there, I heard the following story, which appeared to me very interesting:
Some years ago some passengers in a vessel bound for Botany Bay, were very much struck by the appearance of a female convict who was on board. She was a very beautiful woman, and appeared to be only 18 or 19; her elegant manners were as striking as the beauty of her person. To these charms, she added one still more powerful — great modesty and strict propriety of deportment. It was this quality, so extraordinary in this most abject situation, which first called forth the attention of her superiors.
The captain of the vessel was requested to examine the register which was sent with every convict, detailing their offence and their sentence, and inform the passengers what had been the crime of a creature who appeared so lovely. He found that her name was Mary Green, and that she had been convicted on the clearest evidence of stealing a card of lace from a shop in Oxford Street.
During a long passage her continued good conduct gained her so much respect that, a maid-servant belonging to one of the officers having fallen sick on board, his wife took Mary Green to supply her place; she found very soon that she had gained by the change: the more she saw of Mary the better she liked her. At last she tried to persuade herself that her favourite was innocent of the crime laid to her charge.
She questioned her as to her former situation, and as to the reasons which could have induced her to the commission of a crime which seemed so foreign to her nature. Mary replied, as she had to all her former enquiries, that no power upon earth could make her reveal any part of her story. She added that she was perfectly resigned to her fate, and determined to pass the rest of her days in New Holland, as she never could revisit her native land.
Still, in spite of the mystery which hung about her, she rose every day in the good opinion of her mistress, who, after some time, placed her about her children; then only she discovered that, in addition to all her amiable qualities, Mary possessed, in a superior degree, all the talents and accomplishments which belong to an exalted situation. She spoke several modern languages, and understood both painting and music. In short, she soon became the favourite companion of her mistress, who
could no longer treat this superior being as a servant.
Still, however, Mary resisted her urgent entreaties to discover her former situation; she owned that it had been superior to that rank in which she now found herself; confessed that her present name was assumed; added that she had been very unfortunate, but would never add to her other misfortunes that of thinking that her relations and friends were blushing for her.
About three years after this time, the chaplain of the settlement was called upon to attend the death-bed of an old female convict who was lately arrived. Though an old offender who had grown up in the paths of vice, this woman felt in her last moments great contrition, and made a full confession of all her crimes.
She said that what lay the most heavy on her conscience was the recollection of her having laid one of her offences to the charge of an innocent young woman. She said, that having gone in one day to a shop in Oxford Street at the same time with a very young girl who appeared to be fresh from the country, she had spoken to her; and after having stolen a card of lace she followed the young woman out of the shop. Soon after, hearing the cry of ' stop thief,' she made a pretence of her clog being untied to ask the assistance of the young woman, who was still close by her, and while she was stooping had contrived to slip the lace into her muff, and to escape herself before their pursuers reached them. She said she had afterwards heard that the poor girl had been convicted of an offence of which she knew her to be perfectly innocent.
This account immediately brought to the chaplain's mind the Mary Green who had excited so much curiosity. He went immediately to her, asked for her story, and received from her the usual answer, refusing all intelligence on this subject. He, however, pressed her, told her that it might be of the utmost
importance to her to confide in him, as some circumstances had lately come to light which he hoped might lead to her exculpation if she would give him all the particulars of her case. She burst into tears, told him that she was the only daughter of a respectable merchant of Birmingham, but still refused to tell the name.
She said that at eighteen years of age she had gone to London for the first time, to an uncle who lived in Newman Street; that a day or two after her arrival she had, in the dusk of the evening, gone to a haberdasher's shop, to which she had been directed as being only a few steps from her uncle's house. On coming out of the shop she had heard a cry of 'stop thief,' and had hastened home to escape the mob, by whom she had been very much hustled. On the steps of her uncle's house she was arrested, the piece of lace was found upon her, and she was immediately carried into confinement.
She said that she thought that it was hardly possible that any testimony of her character could avail against the positive evidence brought against her, more particularly as her only defence was that she knew not how the lace came in her muff. She therefore determined to conceal her name and never apply to her family. This happened just before the time of sessions. Mary's trial and condemnation ensued so soon after, that her relations had not had time to make all the enquiries which they afterwards sent in vain all over the kingdom.
These circumstances tallied so exactly with the old woman's confession that the chaplain ventured to tell Mary that he had no doubt of her acquittal. He informed the Governor of the whole transaction, who promised to transmit this information by the first ship to the English Government, and said that her innocence appeared to him So clear that, without instructions, he would venture to say that she should no longer be considered as a convict, but as a planter.
In England the strictest enquiry was made, and every circumstance exactly tallied with Mary's deposition. The next ship brought her complete acquittal and conveyed her back to her disconsolate parents, who had not ceased to lament the unaccountable disappearance of their beloved child. Soon after her return she married extremely well to a young clergyman, who had a very good living.
I was told that this story was perfectly true in every resolved to
part; and there can hardly be a stronger instance of virtue and innocence triumphing over the most unfortunate false appearances. It was the virtue and modesty of Mary's behaviour which were the first cause of bringing her innocence to light. Had she not been so distinguished, the chaplain never would have thought of her, but an unjust accusation of theft naturally brought her to his mind. Perhaps it may be said that her beauty contributed in some degree to the celebrity which she obtained, and consequently to her acquittal.

We were shocked by the recent rumor that model BFFs Kendall Jenner and Cara Delevingne may have gotten matching tattoos together, but maybe it's not so bizarre that Kendall would get ink like her friend. After all, she has shown off a variety of over-the-top and intricate temporary tattoos over the years, crafted out of ink and henna dyes, so clearly she loves the look.

Senate votes to ban certain bonuses for mortgage brokers, loan officers
May 12, 2010
By E. Scott Reckard, Los Angeles Times
The U.S. Senate voted Wednesday to ban certain bonus payments to mortgage brokers and loan officers, cutting off what experts have called one of the key causes of the nation's mortgage meltdown. The little-known bonuses were paid for home loans that could be sold at higher prices because they carried higher interest rates and other more onerous terms than those for which the borrowers were qualified. Amending financial reform legislation as it makes its way through Congress, the Senate also voted to outlaw stated-income mortgages — loans made without using tax documents, pay stubs or bank records to verify that borrowers actually earn as much as they say they do. These so-called liar loans and the bonus payments are widely regarded as key factors leading to the subprime lending debacle that snowballed into the deep recession.
Taking some risk out of payday loans
April 15, 2013
By The Times editorial board
Consumer advocates have long battled with companies that offer high-interest "payday loans" over the lenders' proposals to increase the maximum amount a person can borrow. Now, a group of those advocates is taking the offensive, pushing a bill that would fix two fundamental problems with payday lending as it's practiced in California. The point isn't to end that form of lending - as the widespread use of the service shows, it responds to a real need - but to stop the loans from becoming a debt trap for desperate consumers.
Ameriquest settles 29 class-action lawsuits
January 27, 2010
By E. Scott Reckard
Agreeing to settle 29 class-action lawsuits alleging predatory lending, the Ameriquest group of subprime lenders has pledged $22 million to repay aggrieved borrowers and their lawyers -- a fraction of its payments in previous suits before it shut down as the mortgage meltdown set in. The agreement potentially affects 712,000 borrowers from what once was the nation's largest subprime lender, based in Orange County. Many of the loans were from Argent Mortgage Co., an arm that funded borrowers through mortgage brokers.
Mortgage crisis could damp consumer consumption for years to come
June 23, 2010
By Gail MarksJarvis
For countless Americans struggling to make their mortgage payments, the problems have just begun. Although a loan modification or foreclosure might allow them to put their housing problems behind them, millions will be dogged for years by the aftermath — a credit score so tarnished by the housing debacle that lenders will avoid them. And if they are able to obtain loans, high interest rates are likely to strain their budgets. This is one remnant of the housing crisis that is sometimes ignored by economists, but the effects may well be a drag on the nation's consumption — and the economy as a whole — for a decade or more.
Many homeowners with modified mortgages are behind on payments
December 5, 2009
By Renae Merle
About 25% of borrowers helped under the administration's massive foreclosure prevention plan have already fallen behind on their new mortgage payments, according to government data that raise new questions about the program's effectiveness. The delinquency figures reflect the latest troubles of the program, known as Making Home Affordable. Treasury Department officials this week announced a campaign to put new pressure on lenders to do more to move struggling homeowners into loans with easier terms.
Fannie Mae tightens lending rules
November 26, 2009
By Dina ElBoghdady
Fannie Mae, the giant mortgage finance company that helps shape lending guidelines, plans next month to raise minimum credit score requirements and limit the amount of overall debt that borrowers can carry relative to their incomes. The changes are the latest in a series of crackdowns by the mortgage industry and could surprise some prospective home buyers. The industry is tightening loose lending standards that led to the mortgage meltdown and the subsequent economic crisis.
Wells Fargo is accused of bogging down mortgage modifications
October 2, 2013
By E. Scott Reckard and Andrew Tangel
Wells Fargo & Co. subjects borrowers seeking mortgage modifications to "Kafkaesque delays and obstructions," in violation of last year's $25-billion national mortgage settlement, New York Atty. Gen Eric Schneiderman said in a federal lawsuit. The suit, filed Wednesday, asks the federal court in Washington to force the bank to comply with the landmark agreement. It alleges that the bank on at least 210 occasions violated timelines imposed by the settlement. At a news conference at his Manhattan offices, Schneiderman mocked a Wells Fargo letter to a homeowner.
NAACP drops suit after Wells Fargo agrees to develop fair loan programs for minorities
April 10, 2010
By E. Scott Reckard
The NAACP said it had dropped a lawsuit that accused Wells Fargo & Co. of unfairly steering African American borrowers into costly subprime mortgages while providing loans with lower fees and interest rates to white borrowers in similar financial circumstances. The civil rights group said it withdrew the suit after the bank agreed to work with it to develop programs to improve access to the best loans possible in minority neighborhoods and to ensure that borrowers don't get mortgages destined for failure.
Despite rules, many home buyers still overcharged at closing
June 3, 2012
By Lew Sichelman
There's little more irritating for a home buyer than to be told during escrow that he needs more cash — sometimes a lot more cash — than he thought to close the deal. The good faith estimate of closing costs that lenders are required by law to give borrowers within three days of their mortgage application is supposed to put a stop to that sort of thing. But a survey taken this year shows the rules don't always work as they should. Lawmakers already recognize that, which is why regulators were directed under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act to revamp the good faith estimate, as well as the HUD-1 settlement sheet that borrowers receive at closing.
Overseer cites failings in mortgage settlement
June 20, 2013
By E. Scott Reckard, Los Angeles Times
Last year's $25-billion national mortgage settlement required five giant banks to assign a single employee to each borrower seeking a loan modification - a personal guide who could cut through the bureaucracy. The so-called single-point-of-contact rule sought to address the biggest complaint of borrowers trying to save their homes: Getting bounced around among random employees with conflicting answers. Great idea. Too bad it hasn't worked much. According to a report this week from the settlement's official monitor, Joseph A. Smith Jr., a third of the 60,000 serious complaints about the banks' handling of distressed loans from last October through March involved single points of contact.

This one was pretty epic, so it deserves its own blog.
It all started out with a simple recipe. Actually there was nothing really simple about this recipe – from trying to find the ingredients to the process itself, this was an experience from start to finish.
In my town I have an H.E.B. supermarket which has a good selection of health conscious food. I found my vegan cheese there, and my agave nectar. It's a little more pricey for these things but at least I can invest in the items I'll use more than once.
Let's hope that's the case for the coconut oil – which cost nearly $5 for the only sized container that they had. And I only needed one tablespoon. I see a recipe hunt in my future.
I also found the chocolate chips but turns out the bag was really small so I didn't have *exactly* the right amount by almost 1/4 of a cup.
This will come to play later on in our tale.
The only things I couldn't find were the unsweetened coconut flakes and the vegan butter. So it wasn't *completely* vegan or *completely* sugar-free – but when you consider by how much I will say it was close enough.
It kinda had to be.
So I started this ambitious project yesterday evening. I followed the recipe as much as was possible with the lack of chocolate chips, and tried to beat the ingredients until they were creamy.
It never got creamy.
I beat n' beat n' beat n' beat but it still stayed… for lack of a better word… chunky.
I grew ever more concerned until I put the almond milk in at the very end, when it finally began to look something like icing should look.
But I never could get all that tofu fully processed with the mixer.
By the time I was finished with the icing I was finished with cooking altogether as my back let me know exactly how unhappy it was with the entire affair, and has given me grief ever since. I kinda thought maybe I wouldn't continue to make the cake at all. Figuring all the work that had to go into it and worrying it would not turn out left me pretty discouraged over the how the whole thing was shaping up, frankly.
And I was pretty scared to even take a taste.
Finally, a bit later, I reached in and grabbed some on my finger to find that even with the bits of tofu, the icing tasted like really rich dark chocolate icing. Kinda bitter, exceedingly rich – and nothing tofu-y at all, just a little more chewy in spots than I expect icing to be.
Bolstered by this knowledge I trudged through the cake making process earlier tonight. My back still made quite the protest but I said screw it. I was going to get this sucker done and over with. I made peace if it didn't turn out, that's okay. That is the basis of an experiment week. Not everything is going to turn out great.
Not all of my old recipes with meat and dairy worked either. That's just how it works with new recipes.
I broke out my mini food processor to see if I could get the tofu a little less block like. I was overjoyed to discover that when pulsed enough it actually does turn creamy (er) after all.
My enthusiasm began to quickly wane when I began adding more ingredients and I realized that this wasn't batter. It was Spackle. It got thicker and thicker and I realized there were no wet ingredients to smooth it out.
When I turned the bowl out to "pour" the batter into the baking dish, it landed with a thud.
I then began to smush it out with the back of a plastic spoon to spread it evenly into the pan, growing more and more convinced I was baking a brick not a cake.
I put it in the oven and began the timer (which was essentially telling the hubby to tell me when 35 minutes had passed), and hoped for the best. I thought, well if it rises like most cakes do it won't look like I had to literally lay it out like mortar.
Thirty five minutes passed and I pulled the cake (?) out of the oven.
It didn't rise.
But the toothpick did not break trying to insert into the center, so I felt some relief. I let it cool and then spread out the chunky icing over the top. A pretty cake, it ain't.
Tentatively I cut myself a piece.
Gingerly I took a bite.
I'm happy to report that despite it all… the cake actually did turn out pretty good taste wise. There's still a matter of texture for the icing but it tastes so rich and so chocolatey you can't even tell it was once a block of tofu, or that it was missing any chocolate chips. Overall it turned out resembling a dark chocolate brownie.
I even gave my darling carnivorous hubby a bite and he said it was good aside from it being a bit bitter (ala dark chocolate bitter), and that was nothing a glass of milk couldn't cure.
Now I'm just waiting for my tofu-hating son to take a bite. This will truly test the recipe.
But ultimately the verdict is in. This will definitely be a recipe I will try after I buy a bigger processor and make sure that I have enough chocolate chips to melt and make it creamy and more cake like.
I may even throw some nuts in the icing so that any texture variances will go – for the most part – unnoticed.
And that's the tale, my lovelies.
Here is my Very Ugly but Pretty Tasty Almost Very Nearly Sugar-Free Vegan-ish Chocolate Cake:
Tofu hatin' son comes home from his friend's and I tell him to go have a piece of chocolate cake. He goes in, and I try to tell him how ugly the cake is but he's already shoved a piece into his mouth. So he comes out, says how it's "pretty good" and I tell him, "It's made with tofu."
Immediately my sworn-off-Tofu son exclaims a very loud, very emphatic expletive whereupon Steven and I nearly fell off our respective couches dissolved into uncontrollable gales of laughter.
That was worth it all right there.
(and he's on his second piece… so there ya go)

I've flirted with vegetarianism a few times in my life but I don't seem to have the will power to stick with any kind of special diet more than a few days–ok, more like a few hours. I sometimes even long to be sick so I can stick with a real cleanse. I'm a diet wimp, it's true. I've been berating myself to lose weight for the last year, with no success. I've started to call this the year of the fat. Thing is, it's already been more than a year.
So I'm amazed when I encounter people like Tara Austen Weaver who can actually forsake foods, be it meat, sugar, dairy, gluten, etc. and actually stick with it–over a long time.
I like Weaver's blog, Tea and Cookies, loving her photographs, reviews of restaurants, and recipes. I'd seen her book advertise but I don't buy much in the way of these kinds of books these days. I'd rather get them from my library so I was giddy when I discovered that my library had at last acquired a copy of The Butcher and the Vegetarian.
Unsure of what the book was about, really, the title can lead you to several possible outcomes, I dipped myself tentatively into the text. Ends up, Weaver is just as personable in long form as she is on the blog. Only thing missing was an exact recipe for the green juice. If you're out there reading, Weaver, give us a recipe. In the meantime, I'll search your blog. Maybe it's buried there in the archives.
A fun read, despite its heavy topic–whether we should eat meat or not. If you'd like to see a personal look at this dilemma, give Weaver's saga a go.

Synthesis and Properties of a Solution-Processable Truxene Derivative for OLED Devices
A soluble truxene derivative (TR1) attached with triphenylamine at the peripheral position was designed and synthesized. The structure and purity of TR1 were carefully characterized by 1H NMR, UV/vis and photoluminescent spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, and thermal analyses. It exhibited good solubility in common organic solvents and good film forming properties. The maximum absorption and emission peaks in THF solution were shown at 358 nm and 415 nm, respectively. Bright blue emission was observed in both solution and solid states under UV excitation. The fluorescent quantum efficiency was 0.46. The best luminous efficiency was found to be 3.65 cd/A with CIE coordinates of (0.163, 0.260) in electroluminescence devices.

Watch Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars
This show chronicles the crazy, dramatic lives of five celebrity couples. They are required to live in the same mansion and go through intense relationship counseling by a husband and wife professional counseling team. The famous pairs are forced to attempt to work out their relationship issues through emotionally and physically challenging drills, games, and exercises.
This season of Marriage Boot Camp features the following celebrity couples: Trista with Ryan Sutter from the Bachelorette; Tanisha Thomas from Bad Girls Club, with Clive Muir; Gretchen Rossi from Real Housewives of Orange Country, with Slade Smiley; Jersey Shore's JWoww, with Roger Mathews; and the Braxtons singer, Traci Braxton, with Kevin Surrat.
By the end of the season, couples will then be able to decide as to whether or not they should break up (or divorce) or make up, and get married. The emotional turbulence that the couples endure as they try to work out their relationship issues pushes them to consider if their potential (or current) marriage could actually work.

Even if the earth turns to the darkest light, Even if the world collides through time, Was only seen the shadow of your smile, You were never right by my side, But the purity of your love, Would forever be engraved in my heart.
Tuesday, 22 March 2016
Equation 184 : Black Rose
In the desolation hour
The last sensation was left triggers
As a heart was pounding much harder,
Harder than it was before,
The solemn sorrow left dying,
The purity of heart left abandon,
Hidden behind the Frozen tomorrow that in the end,
Was quivered and wasn't breathing no more,
Past mistake was still bleeding with too much sins to be forgiven,
The dying rose that once before as red as a heart that was still beating slow,
Has fallen down on the earth that has been drain of life,
In the rigid hollow,
The sin that was still bleeding kept on drowning a life that wasn't breathing anymore,
Would the forgiveness ever be there in a time that was only left just,
The judgement of what was done before,
Or just left wittered in the unforgiving heart,
Where regret won't be any use no more,
Along side the rose so black,
It wasn't alive anymore?

Phantom was a wonderful cat that had a personality that I have rarely seen in a cat. She was my best friend and she had a unique meow that sounded like a squeak at times. This squeak was what brought her the nickname of "Squeaker". She used to play "hockey" with little tinfoil balls and she would also fetch them when thrown, much like a dog. She used to lay on me or beside me whenever I was sitting on the couch and would purr away without a care in the world. She was the friendliest cat anyone could ever meet and she will be sadly missed by her furry brothers and sisters and also her human friends. It is with great sadness that I say goodbye to a special friend with the hopes of one day being able to say hello once again.
Goodbye Phantom, love daddy.

HISD trustees discuss student success, evaluate superintendent
Published 6:00 pm, Wednesday, January 24, 2001
A strong commitment to excellence guides the students and administrators of the Hempstead Independent School District as board members met Jan. 17 to discuss student success in the Houston Rodeo Art Show as well as the success of HISD Superintendent Charles Russell during his personnel evaluation.
In a closed session, Russell's performance was reviewed on the basis of his superintendent evaluation and contract.
The board reconvened to announce that the Russell would be receiving a salary raise, increasing his yearly income to $98,000. The superintendent also received a one-year extension on his three-year contract with the district.
The superintendent says that he is very pleased with the outcome of the evaluation and is looking forward to his future experiences in the district.
This year marked the first time in a number of years that students from the Hempstead school district had art work on display at the Houston Rodeo Art Show.
Participating in the event was Fermin Salazar (2nd grade), Kory Garcia (6th grade), Chase Shelborne (6th grade), Jamie Black (10th grade) and Maria Gallegos (12th grade).
Each of the five students received ribbons and judges selected Garcia and Black's pieces as Best of Show. Gallegos and Shelborne took home Gold medal awards and each of their pieces were brought to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo for display. An auction will take place at the Sales Pavilion-Hayloft Gallery March 4.
The School Art Committee's intention is to encourage the education and appreciation of Western heritage through such events and scholarships.
Gallegos's piece, based on a photo, using acrylic paint made her eligible for the programs College Scholarship, a four-year $10,000 scholarship, the Art Workshop Opportunities summer program in Kerrville.
Black's pieces, made with charcoal, also made her also eligible for the programs and scholarships sponsored by the School Art Committee, including the Glassell Junior School of Art program in Houston and the School Art Auction in which the student will receive a guaranteed minimum,ranging from $500-10,000 for their work.
Sarah Garrison, organizer for the program at Hempstead, said she is very proud of the effort put forth by the students in their first time participation.
"I think Hempstead should be very proud of their students and how they are representing the school," said Garrison.
Russell agrees that faculty and parents should be proud of such programs.
"We have given priority to have programs that focus on art, theater, and choir because it is these programs that bring out the talents in lots of our student," said Russell.
In other business, the school board:
-Received tax and financial reports.
-Approved the TIF Grant and Student Transfers.
-Announced the March FFA show to be held the last Friday and Saturday of March at the Waller County Fair Grounds.

Today's entry for the May fiction challenge.
If you go really high on the swings, like so high up that your tummy jumps when you come back down, you can see the roofs over the top of the trees. You can see the church and the shopping centre and the garage where they sell you fags if you're in senior school, as long as you're not wearing your uniform. But I can't be bovvered today, we had PE this afternoon and my legs are well aching. So I just swing to normal height, not trying too hard. My skirt flaps a bit round my knees, but I've tucked it under my legs so noone can see anything. There's noone here anyway, they've all gone in for tea. Mum will probbly be wondering where I am, stressing I reckon, I've already heard my text go off like a million times. But I haven't even looked who it was, I'm ignoring it. She knows I go to the park after school, if she was that bovvered she could come and find me.
Anyway I don't wanna go in yet, I can't face her. She'll see the bruises and the mud on my shoes and on my jumper and she'll wanna know. She'll aks me "Roxanna, why are you always fuckin fightin?" she'll say, "You're always gettin in trouble, and then the school writes me them letters and I gets in fuckin trouble." Well I never started it, it was that cow Tasha, she was going on about how she reckoned my bag was shit, my shoes was shit, my hair was shit. It don't bother me, she can say what she likes, I know my Mum can't afford all the good stuff, or take me up the salonn like Tasha's Mum does. And in maths she come and sat next to me, and was poking me and kicking me but I couldn't say nothink cause Mr Carson always believes her. I reckon he got game for her. She walks round like she's some Wag or somethink. Just cause she was the first one who got a bra. She don't even need it really, I've seen when we get changed for PE and she's hardly got nothink there. Then she started whispering to me about how I would never grow tits, that it meant I was gay, that even girls wouldn't want me cause I'm poor and skank. But I don't care, she says it to everyone and I know not everyone is gay, so it's rubbish right?
After school she was walking past the bus stop the same time as me, and she was treading on the back of my shoes, and trying to nick my bag. And then she started talking about my Dad, saying how he's a druggie and he's in prison and they're never gonna let him out, and if they do the dealer will get him because he owes them shitloads of money. So that's when I smacked her. She was aksing for it, noone has a go at my Dad. We was like rolling on the ground and fighting, all the kids was watching and laughing, then this woman comes along and breaks it up. Lucky really, I reckon Tasha would have had me, but I ain't gonna let her know that.
I know that's rubbish what Tasha said about my Dad, cause my Mum told me he works away a lot. I don't know where though. He writes to me on my birthday and sometimes we go to meet him in a McDonalds. When I was little, if a plane went by, Mum used to say it was him, flying over us, if we waved he would see. And when the plane left those white skylines behind it, that meant he had seen us and he was saying hello. I don't believe that now, I'm not a kid no more, I'm going up to the seniors in September. I reckon it's time she treated me like a grown up. It's about time she told me where he is.

So Little Man's bio mom has been emailing a lot again and she just emailed me a picture of his biological sister. She and little Man could be twins...seriously!!! They look exactly alike!! Little P. was adopted at birth by a family in another state. Bio-mom also has a son (9 yrs old) that lives in her state.
All of my children have biological siblings...somewhere! Some I know about and I bet there are more I have no idea about.
How have you all addressed this issue in your families?? All the bio-siblings I know about are all adopted by other families and not with the bio-parents. Have you asked bio-parents for info (email/phone) to connect with them? How have you talked with your children about this? At what age? I know just by looking at my kids which ones will be ready for this information before others.
Little Man's bio-mom wants me to call her on Christmas...whew...gonna have to pray about that one!

In Triumph of the Sign, artist Jean Charles de Castelbajac presents a series of paintings that articulate his fascination with, broadly, the tensions and synergies between high art and consumer culture, and most specifically that defining element of contemporary visual culture - the brand logo.
In a process that mirrors the production of mass-consumer goods, Castelbajac commissioned painters in China to perfectly reproduce a series of Western masterpieces, from Bronzino to Manet, and another group to paint logos on the surfaces of the copied masterpieces. The resulting works ironically embrace a flattening of hierarchies, a breakdown of distinctions and an evacuation of content. The works, therefore, are themselves perfect signs of the present moment.
Triumph of the Sign is currently on exhibit at the Paradise Row Gallery.

Hello out there! I'm not even sure if anyone is still visiting. I have been a bad blogger. Things have just been crazy around here. The kids are back in school, so things should get back to normal now. (Normal for here, anyway. LOL)
I stamped a couple simple cards recently. I used retired papers and ribbon. I'm trying to use up some of my stacks of retired stuff. ;) I hope to get back in a stamping groove and return to the UDI Inspiration and Sketch challenge teams very soon.
Thanks for visiting!

The first-ever Asian Grand Slam and third Asia Pacific Championship, got underway yesterday at the ONE°15 Marina Club in Sentosa, Singapore. Icarus Sailing Media have a report from Days 2 and 3:
Yesterday's three races set the scene for today, as teams needed to rethink their strategies and optimise race techniques, to out-sail their rivals and move on up the leaderboard.
The SB20 is all about teamwork – raced with a crew of 3 or 4 members – skipper, trimmer and bow man. Each role is unique, and needs perfecting for the whole team to succeed.
Each person has their own task, actions for each manoeuvre, different roles to call tactics and strategy on each race leg. Together they must work like a well-oiled machine, to make the SB20 go as fast as possible.
Working in perfect unison, the crew on 'Bandit Racing Team' were the winners of today's race, making a leaderboard climb from 5th to 2nd place. Their climb has cut the points advantage held by 'Zenith Sailing Team' to just 2. 'Glasgow Kiss' are in 3rd, whilst 'Flirtatious' and 'Black Magic' drop out of the podium top three. Both teams struggled to master the conditions, and suffer a dip on the leaderboard to 7th and 5th place.
Any small mistake or correct decision can change the color of the medal in an instant. As we move into the ultimate day of the event, the podium places are still open.
Results can be viewed here http://sb20asiangrandslam.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Sailwave-results-for-SB20-Asian-Grand-Slam-Asia-Pacific-Champ_final.pdf

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP)—Police say Hamed Haddadi(notes) of the Memphis Grizzlies and his girlfriend have been charged with a.ssault following an altercation between the two.
Memphis police were called Thursday morning to a downtown apartment building and found Haddadi, a backup center from Iran, and his girlfriend with bruises and scratches.
The arrest report says a verbal disagreement turned physical, and both Haddadi and Goolnaz "Asal" Karbalaeinematmoeeney were taken to the Regional Medical Center for treatment.

The Search for the Sacred: Sacred Rituals
The Search for the Sacred: Sacred Rituals
Mark 14:22-25
July 9, 2017
This morning, I want to talk about sacred rituals. When I say those words, most of you probably think of a priest walking the aisle in a cathedral, swinging the incense container back and forth or you think of a pastor holding a baby and dripping water on that child's head in a moment of baptism or you think of a day like today when we gather to celebrate communion. All of these things are sacred rituals that take place in churches. However, scared rituals are not limited to sanctuaries and are not only administered by priests and pastors.
Do you drink coffee? Have you been a coffee drinker for a long time? I know that you have a sacred ritual. In my house, the equivalent to the priest walking with the incense and creating that sacred space with a scent is my incredible, beloved coffee maker that starts making the coffee when I'm still asleep. I wake not to an alarm but to one of my very favorite smells. If I get up in time, I can listen to the water dripping across the grounds, a baptism of sorts, a kind of holy water. And would breakfast even be breakfast without my beloved coffee?
I drink it black. Maybe you use cream? What's that? You use sugar, too? How could you? Forget those differences, though. What we share in common is that we have our special coffee mug. (I use the same one every morning.) I enjoy the moment of the first pour. And then, I go to my spot on the couch and settle in. (Interestingly, this spot is only my spot when everyone else is still asleep. I'm not sure how that happened.) Then, I sit and feel the warmth of the cup in my hand and feel the warm of the coffee as I sip it and I start to think about my day. All is right in the world…
Unless, God forbid, something or someone interferes. Maybe I have company who gets up too early. I don't get the alone time that I'm used to. Maybe the power went out the night before and the timer on my coffee pot got messed up. Geez…now I have to wait. Maybe…worst case scenario…my coffee pot broke. Sure…I could go out for coffee but apparently I am different that 90 percent of the rest of the American public because I believe that no coffee is as good as the coffee that I make at home.
If you think that you have no rituals in your life…look again! Can't you see the similarities between the priest officiating at communion and you setting up your coffee pot and overseeing the miracle of coffee? There is a routine and what results from properly overseeing that routine is something sacred, something that leads us to a deeper place in our day. If you don't believe me, if you are the coffee maker, just try to let someone else take that responsibility. It will be almost impossible not to critique what they are doing—even if it is just in your own head. Just ask a pastor or priest who is visiting someone else's church if they didn't squirm at different points. It's not that things were done wrong. It's just hard to escape the thought, "Well, that's not the way I would have done that!"
It's not that there has to be only one way to do something in order for it to be a sacred way. Rather, it just has to be my way or our way and we have to have done it that way long enough that we own that way as our own. What comes with repetition is comfort, particularly when the hard days come. When it feels like the chaos is about to win there is nothing better than turning with confidence to the rituals of this life. "I know this will help because it has helped so many times before."
Again, I want to say that the sacred rituals of our lives can include church things like communion and baptism but most of our sacred rituals are not grounded there. Do you watch sunrises or sunsets? Do you like to watch the moon rise from the lake? When you get up in the morning, do you pretty much have your own routine for getting ready? When it is time for dinner, does preparing dinner and sitting down to share it look pretty much the same from day to day? When it is time for bed, do you have your own way you unwind? (I can't imagine going to sleep without reading first..)
The truth is that we are creatures of habit. These habits can be not particularly healthy. Just watch the rituals that a smoker goes through in unwrapping and opening a new pack. Just watch the routine that is there and loved maybe just a little too much as someone opens the evening's bottle of wine. Part of what makes positive change so hard is that we have to break habits and when we try, those habits die hard. We literally are not sure what to do with ourselves…
We can choose to make positive change, though, and we can do so by harnessing the power of habit. Social scientists say that if we establish a new behavior and practice that behavior for six weeks, we will have a new, positive habit. So, for example, if you really wanted to build prayer into your life, attaching the practice of prayer to already established habits in your life is a powerful idea. So, as little children, we might have been taught to make prayer a part of our bedtime routine. Or, in our families, we might say grace at a meal or even at every meal. Even just getting to the point where going to church is just what we do on Sunday…to the point where it would be weird not to go…can become a new habit. We can be intentional and choose to make room for and honor the sacred routines of our lives or we can just fall into bad habits. The choice is ours.
I think Jesus really understood this aspect of what it means to be a human being: we are creatures of habit. So, at the end of his ministry, he was searching for a way to connect with his disciples and reassure himself that they would remember him beyond everything that was about to happen. How they would respond to the next week's events wasn't entirely clear. Where they would end up when all was said and done was open to debate. However, one thing was for sure: however things unfolded, wherever these disciples ended up, they were still going to eat. So, he chose to tie remembering him to eating: "Each time you eat this bread…do so in remembrance of me."
It's true that they were celebrating Passover with the Seder meal, a wonderful Jewish tradition that linked an annual meal to remembering their ancestors in faith. Jesus and the disciples would have shared that special meal together at least twice before. He could have been saying, "Each time you share this Seder meal, remember me!" That would be alright, too.
However, I think Jesus' message is more broad and every day sacred than that. For three years, these men had been through all sorts of ups and downs on the rollercoaster ride that was Jesus' ministry. From the start, there had to be basic worries for the disciples as they essentially became homeless to follow Christ: "What will we eat?" "Where will we stay?" It's not that the path was easy or that every meal was great or every bed was perfect. However, some of their most treasured memories had to be of eating together at the end of those days, of the conversation they shared and the closeness that they felt. There was food. There was a place to stay. And no matter what the day was like, Jesus was with them. This was the experience they shared with one another on the road.
This was the experience that Jesus wanted them to share going forward. For the men on the road to Emmaus, Jesus presence is made known through the breaking of the bread. The disciples had to hear that and think not of a Seder meal or a temple practice but of the concrete experience of that presence that they had known at so many different tables, through so many different meals. When Jesus told the disciples in some of his last words that he would be with them always, they had to have thought to themselves, I bet he'll be with us most clearly in the places where he's been with us before when we do some things in the ways that we always did them.
So, as followers of the man with whom they had shared so many meals, they did what he did. Before they ate, they paused and thanked God for the food that they had and for the presence that they could feel. They looked around the table and saw the faces of those whom they loved and they realized that they could see Christ's face in those faces, too. Prayer became a sacred ritual in a day because it was connected to something as built in as eating.
Then, as those followers became part of faith communities who searched for their own rituals, it was natural for eating to be at the heart of their tradition. The last meal that the disciples shared with Jesus became "The Last Supper." Remembering that meal became "communion." And, though the rituals would vary from serving tiny pieces of bread and tiny cups to a sharing a common cup and dipping the bread in that cup, the meaning of the ritual would remain the same: this is a meal through which we remember Christ; in which we feel Christ's presence; by which we remind ourselves of the new covenant of love. "This is my body, broken for you…This is my blood, the blood of the new covenant…Do this in remembrance of me."
Like all rituals, the meaning is lived out not in a singular moment but in the way in which the ritual is there for us again and again. What is familiar comforts us. What is mysterious challenges us. Yet, what is certain is that we are no more likely to forget Christ's presence than we would be likely to forget to eat. As faithful followers, the meal we share becomes the stuff by which our souls are fed.
And yet, we don't live by bread alone, as Jesus said. We have a comforting cup of coffee. We read the Sunday paper, in the order in which it was meant to be read! We settle in to watch the Cubs the way we always have. And when it is time for bed, we brush and floss and scratch and read and offer up a prayer in our sacred order which comforts us to sleep.
