A loss to our IBD community: Dr. Adrian Greenstein
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved friend, Dr. Adrian Greenstein, MD, FACS, FRCS.
The pain is still raw, and the loss so profound, Dr. Greenstein was a world-renowned IBD surgeon who was a Professor of Surgery at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai since 1968, Through most of his long career, Dr. Greenstein maintained one of the busiest inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) surgical practices in New York City.
Dr. Greenstein contributed more than 150 publications to the literature on surgical approaches, the majority of which have been on inflammatory bowel disease. More importantly, we will always remember Dr. Greenstein's incredible surgical skill in the most complex cases of IBD, his patience and compassion as a clinician, and his ever-gentle manner. he was a strong advocate for our organization JCCSG, being a sounding board of advice, guidance, and affection. His patients and colleagues adored him, as did the generations of residents and medical students that were fortunate enough to learn from him.
As his Son, our dear friend, Dr. Alexander J. Greenstein, Associate Professor of Surgery, Mount Sinai Hospital, once said:
"My father pretty much made it possible for everything. I owe him a lot. It's been terrific as a kid, he was a wonderful father and now as a partner, a wonderful mentor. I'm sure I could have made it, but it has certainly been amazing to work with him, help him and have him lead the way. We've complimented each other really well, and he's brought out the best in me."You can read about their teamwork, in the NY Daily News, in 2012…
We send our heartfelt condolences to Dr. Greenstein's family. Especially to his son, our dear friend, Dr. Alexander, May the family be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.
Shiva will be observed till Thursday, 4/27, from 5:00pm till 7:00pm, at 73 Windsor Road, Tenafly, NJ, 07670
We and his many patients over the last 5 decades will miss him greatly. He will always be remembered!

Pesach Notifications
Dear Friends,
וואס טרינק איך פאר די ד' כוסות? מעג איך עסן מצה ומרור?
הערט א גאר אינפארמעטיווע און וויכטיגע אינטערוויו מיט אינפארמאציע און אנווייזונגן וואס איז ספעציעל נוגע פאר Crohn's און Colitis
פאציענטן אום פסח
אויף קול מבשר, 212-444-1100 און דריקט 3-1-1 דערנאך 1558#
וזאת למודעה: אלעס וואס עס ווערט אויסגעשמועסט אויפן אינטערוויו, איז אויסגעארבייט געווארן אדורך גדולי מורי הוראה
פאר סיי וואספארא פראבלעם איר האט אום יו"ט און איבערן גאנץ יאר קענט איר אונז רופן אויף 718-635-2274
Yiddish, discussing the Halachasregarding Arba Kosos, Shiurim of Matzah and Maror, and more.
You can listen to it on the Kol Mevaser Hotline, at 212-444-1100, press 3-1-1, and then 1558#
Pesach is a favorite holiday, we all gather with our families and discuss the miracle of our redemption and remember the freedom granted to us by Hashem. In that remembrance, we have the Seder, Matzah, and Arba Kosos. To most, these appear to be fun parts of the holiday to approach joyously. But to a Crohn's or Colitis patient, it can be slightly nerve inducing as the least digestive friendly holiday approaches.
First, it is important to remember that many medications interact with alcohol. Be wary of this and ask your physician before consuming your Arba Kosos. remember, if you are taking Antibiotics (As Flagyl – Metronidazol and same goes to a lot of other) you are not allowed to drink any alcohol!
All other IBD patients should please double check with your doctor if the effectiveness of your medication will not be decreased or render them useless while mixing them with alcohol.
Simply skipping medication is not the answer to the very real problem! You should exercise extreme caution and consult with your doctor and Rabbi/Rav before deciding not to take a medication on Pesach. As important as one treats the laws of Kashrus, one is also obligated to treat the Mitzva of "V'Nishmartem M'Od L'Nafshotaichem" - "Take care of your health". Therefore, under no circumstances should an individual forego taking a prescribed medication of Pesach (and during the year...) without first consulting one's physician and Rav for a careful analysis of the situation.
Second, Matzah is notoriously harsh on the stomach, and in order to stay healthy and safe you have to take precautions. Speak with your physician and your Rav about how you should approach eating matzah this coming Pesach, all information on the above-mentioned Yiddish Interview has been discussed and guided by Rabbanim.
Please call your doctor if you have any issues, if you have a problem reaching your doctor, feel free to contact us anytime, we will try our best to get you through. Do not hesitate to call us anytime.
Please forward this email to all patients and their families who may benefit.
Big Thanks to Abigail Winokur for the help!
We would like to wish you a Chag Kosher V'Samayach! A happy and healthy Yom Tov!

I've been working on the asparagus beds, cutting down the stalks and piling them onto the compost bed.
The last week has been icy cold in the mornings and this morning was foggy and cold. Seems like we skipped over Autumn and went straight into Winter in May. I'm thinking it will bounce back and become a bit more mild, it just feels way too early to have frozen water pipes.
This bed grew potatoes over summer. I'll now build a compost pile, which will be left for six months.
Looking across the garden towards the large Eucalypts on the boundary you'll notice the misty, foggy view and the sense of hunkering down. Beds are being tidied up. Lots of gardeners choose to do very little over winter. I still have loads of tasks to go before I'm ready to hibernate for the winter mornings. I've got to finish weeding the asparagus beds, mulch them, dig over last summer's tomato and pumpkin and zuccini beds, plant out the green manure and do something about those pesky cabbage caterpillars. I've been trying to deal with the cabbage caterpillars by hand - but I'm loosing patience (and too many growing leaves) and so may resort to Dipel, which is allowed under Organic principles, though many like to use it as a last resort method.

Meet Kevin. My fiancée is a big fan of Despicable Me, especially the absurdly cute helium voiced minions. Few days have gone by in the past few weeks where we didn't watch (or quote) this video, or this one, or this one. So I decided a few months back that I would endeavor to make a minion cake for her birthday.
At first my plan was to make a sheet cake that was iced to look like a minion, similar to this one. But then I figured that if I was going to bother at all, might as well do it right.
I decided to use fondant to decorate it instead of icing since I thought it would give me more control and look smoother. Making this a more daunting task was the fact that I have only made cake twice before and certainly never something so decorated as this. After some extensive Google searching I came across many helpful videos that demonstrated everything from how to cut and ice a cake to how to make and apply fondant. I even found a tutorial someone made for making a minion cake. If I can do this, you certainly can too!
So, how did I actually do this? First order of business is to make cake. I made a sweet potato cake with molasses buttercream, recipe courtesy of Love and Olive Oil. For the minion I made four 4.5″ cakes and split the rest of the batter between two 9″ cake pans. I made the 9″ cakes into a basic layer cake (picture below) and stacked the 4.5″ cakes on top of each other to make the minion shape.
Before stacking the cakes you will need to flatten the tops to ensure they stack evenly. When the cakes are fully cool wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. This will make it easier to cut them (and the plastic wrap prevents them from drying out). The weight of the cake, icing, and fondant can become too much to handle so it is a good idea to have internal supports. I achieved this by placing a piece of cardboard between the 2nd and 3rd layers of cake, in addition to four dowel rod supports.
After placing the first two layers of cake (make sure to put icing in between) I cut short two of the dowel rods. I then placed the cardboard round on top of the 2nd layer. This enabled the two shorter dowel rods could prop up the cardboard and help support the weight of the top layers.
The next task is to stack the remaining two cakes and round off the top one to create the shape for the top of the minion's head. Don't forget to trim the taller dowel rods so that they don't stick out the top of the cake. This wasn't as even as I would have liked but I found when covered in icing (and later fondant) the imperfections fade away.
I've omitted a few pictures since there were so many individual steps. After stacking the cakes the next thing to do is cover the cake with a thin coat of icing known as the crumb coat. This does exactly what its name suggests, and gets all the loose crumbs stuck in the icing and creates an overall smoother surface. Refrigerate the cake for about 20 minutes afterward to firm up the icing.
Then, ice the cake with a generous layer of icing like you normally would a cake. Make sure things are smooth, since the next step will to cover it in fondant. You will want to refrigerate the cake once again before before covering in fondant to firm up the icing.
I didn't take any pictures of the fondant making process because 1) I was freaking out and 2) it was a complete mess. Apparently you can buy fondant from specialty stores, but in an effort to do it myself and have it taste decent I gave it a shot. Here is the recipe that I used. As you're reading the recipe you'll notice it says "rub your hands thoroughly with butter", and then you'll understand why there are no pictures. I bought yellow, blue, black, and brown coloring gels to color the fondant.
Here is the video that I used to learn how to properly cover a cake with fondant. After covering the cake in yellow fondant add a small blue ribbon around the bottom. Then, create two blue aprons to put on the front and back. These will be the base for the minion's overalls. I ran small ribbons of fondant to connect these on either side and complete the overalls.
You can roll out small cylinders of fondant to attach as the arms and legs of the minion. I used a toothpick to create seams on the overalls; this also helped to get the fondant to stick better.
I made small buttons for the overalls and added black fondant to create shoes and gloves. To make the hair I split toothpicks in half, covered them in black fondant, and stuck them into the cake. I then made increasingly small concentric circles to make the eye and gave our minion friend a smile.
Last, add a goggle (with accompanying strap) to complete making your minion. The fondant will help keep in moisture so you can keep this at room temperature for a day or two if you like, just make sure you keep it covered (I used plastic wrap). Whether you make yourself a merry minion or just a basic layer cake, enjoy!
Sweet Potato Layer Cake with Molasses Buttercream (Fills three 9″ cake pans)
For the Cake
- 1 lb sweet potatoes (2 large ones)
- 3 C cake flour
- 1 T baking powder
- 1 1/2 t cinnamon
- 3/4 t nutmeg
- 1/4 t ground cloves
- 1/2 t salt
- 5 eggs, separated
- 2 1/4 cups sugar (divided into 2 C and 1/4 C)
- 1 stick (8 T) butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 t vanilla
- 1 1/4 C whole milk
For the Frosting
- 2 C (4 sticks) butter, room temperature
- 4 C powdered sugar
- 1/4 C molasses
- 1/4 cup milk or cream, as needed
Prick sweet potatoes in several places with a fork and microwave on a plate for 6 minutes. Halfway through flip the sweet potatoes so they cook evenly. Cook for additional time if necessary; the sweet potatoes should be soft all the way around when done. When they have cooled enough to handle peel and remove the skins. Pulse the potatoes in a food processor until smooth and measure out 1 cup of puree.
Preheat over to 350º F and butter/flour the bottoms and sides of three 9″ cake pans. Line the bottoms of each pan with parchment paper. In a small bowl mix together flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer beat egg whites on medium speed until they are frothy. Add in 1/4 cup of sugar and beat on high until the eggs are whipped and form stiff peaks. Transfer to another bowl and set aside.
Clean the bowl of the stand mixer and add in sweet potato, butter vanilla, and 2 cups of sugar. Beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg yolks one at a time, making sure each is mixed well before adding the next. Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients followed by 1/2 of the milk. Once mixed add another 1/3 of the dry ingredients and the rest of the milk. Lastly, add the remainder of the dry ingredients. Don't overmix, stop when everything has been incorporated. Using a large spatula gradually fold egg whites into batter. Don't mix, but rather gently fold the batter and egg whites together.
Divide batter equally among cake pans and bake for 30 minutes. The cakes are done when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing from pans and cooling on a wire rack for 1 hour.
While cakes are cooling make the frosting. In the bowl of a stand mixer beat butter on medium-high until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time, making sure it is well mixed before adding more. Once you have added and mixed all the sugar add molasses and beat until mixed evenly. If needed add milk or cream (1 T at a time) to lighten up the frosting.
Level each cake with a serrated knife and place cakes on top of eachother, adding a layer of buttercream between each cake. Cover the entire cake with a thing layer of buttercream (crumb coat) and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Afterward frost cake with the remaining buttercream and decorate as desired.

The Obama Administration has provided a grass roots internet petition service at "We the People" (https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petitions). If 25,000 petitions are received within 30 days a response is promised. There are petitions from groups in 47 states seeking permission for the state to secede from the union — not all having reached the response level — except for New Hampshire, Iowa and Alabama.
Now understand that the estimated 324,000 HOAs with 63 million people (20% of the population) have already seceded as these private contractual de facto governments are not subject to the US Constitution as all other government entities, including state municipalities. Problem is, they represent only a portion of the population of each state giving rise to what amounts to independent principalities within the states' borders. Each state is not a unified state under the state's constitution or the US Constitution. If a state does secede, it will still have parts of its population that have already seceded from the state.
And we talk about illegal immigrants taking advantage of our rights, laws and entitlements. It ain't fair to let these HOA illegal aliens not subject to the Constitution have access to what bona fide citizens are entitled to! Not only that, many states give HOA outrageous property tax breaks for all those private amenities while the state is in desperate need of funds. (Like anything else in this world, so long as the homeowners continue to pay their property taxes, "double taxation", the state will look the other way).
No, let's take care of secession within the states before we deal with secession by the state itself.

Despite the drizzle, Woodlands Stadium was full of people! The atmosphere was great, people cheered, shouted in support and they stayed til the end. When Dr Chee arrived at the end of the rally, the residents surrounded him, taking his photos and shaking his hands. They were also heard shouting "We love you Dr Chee!" and "SDP! SDP! Dr Chee! Dr Chee!". Many residents also took pictures with the candidates who went to meet and greet them. That was really heartwarming and my heart was bursting with happiness, witnessing the warm reception by the residents. 🙂 Here is the schedule of rallies to be held on 1 May:

The rain actually helped to cool down the anger within the residents of sembawang grc but only to a certain extent because the heat caused by the incumbents has reached the boiling point.

Each month, we share an image from GEICO's past and invite you to comment or exercise your caption-writing skills.
Be still, my heart. I've been playing softball for at least 35 years now, so scenes like these really appeal to me. Back in the day – and I'm guessing that day was around 1970 – teams of GEICO associates would take on other local company teams in various sports, including softball. And GEICO still supports its associates' endeavors in softball and other sports, at the corporate headquarters and at other locations.
These days, we have so many softball players at HQ that we have our own eight-team league, and if you go to the right park on a Monday evening, you'll see many a GEICO-ite rounding first and heading for second, like the chap in the older photo here. But unlike in that picture, where all the players were men, you'll also find women enjoying today's coed league. In fact, that's one of my teammates in the color photo, tagging out an opposing baserunner during the 2013 GEICO League playoff championship game.
We won the title that year.
And again last year.
Will we pull off the three-peat this year? Too soon to tell … but I like our chances!

I love them. I don't leave home without them! I am convinced that they are God's provision for us. I use them to make deodorant, soothing salve, and lots of other DIY body and cleaning products. Every one is talking about them these days, but what are they exactly?
Well, at their core, essential oils are simply the natural aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, and flowers of plants. For some, like lemons and grapefruit, they are found in the rind. For others, like lavender and jasmine, they are found in the flowers. Regardless which part of the plant they come from, essential oils are powerfully fragrant and affect us in more ways than just "oh, I like that smell!" They actually elicit profound emotional responses and are used for their medicinal and therapeutic benefits. Since I am an Holistic Health Practitioner, I got quite interested when I was introduced to them…
Essential oils are not new. Actually, they have been used for much longer than we have been on the earth and are referred to quite often in the Bible. We all remember how they gave Frankincence and Myrrh to the Christ Child. But they are even much older than that; papyrus dating back to 1500 B.C. lists 800 remedies including the use of many oils. And when King Tut's tomb was opened, jars with essential oils residue were found; he died in 1323 B.C.
During the Bubonic Plague (1330 A.D.) that destroyed almost half of Western Europe's population, an enterprising band of thieves robbed the dead without becoming infected by the disease. After being captured in Marseilles, France, the thieves were asked to reveal how they avoided the 'Black Death.' It turned out that the thieves used essential oils all over their bodies to protect themselves; how cool is that?
Plants were distilled first for perfumes, then came cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. After a French doctor, Mr. Gattefosse discovered by accident that lavender oil was calming and protected from scaring in the early 1900's, chemists have investigated the chemistry and compounds of many essential oils.
Many scientists now accept that essential oils (EOs) have clear virtues. They can be used aromatically, used topically or ingested. They can also be used as dietary aid to promote vitality. How amazing is that?

That is the best urinal ever! Sometimes seeing urinals as great as that makes me wish that girls could use urinals too.

Gohir, Please make it clear that I don't spend most of day surfing the net looking for pictures of toilets. This is only my part-time hobby, most of the time I'm on the Take That website. Thanks x
PS - My favourite urinal is the one with Saddam Hussein's face. This may not be completely PC what with him being, you know, executed and all, but it made me smile...was the person who commissioned said urinal a big fan or an anti-Hussein-er? We might never know....

That's a good start to the list. Some of my current posts have been pretty good too in my opinion. What was really exciting was being published in the Minnesota Daily. I know most of you in the blogoshphere wouldn't care, but it was cool to see my name in a student newspaper as well as on their website. Plus, i got 25 extra credit points in my persuasion theory class for being published. Hopefully I can have some new topics in the near future, although we are nearing crunch time for Spring Semester. These next coming weeks are going to be crazy, wish me luck.
One of my first posts when I first started this blog way back in September 2005
Maglev on University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus
One of my ideas of replacing the Campus Connector system with Maglev transit, I think it would be great, but probably way too expensive
A Commuter Rail Line Named…Northstar
Future Predictions on Urban Development of the Twin Cities
One of my best posts on this topic. Thank you to everyone that wrote in.

The schooner MOUNTAINEER, bound from Oswego to Sandusky, laden with railroad iron, on her arrival at the latter place, struck on the bar and sunk. The steamer MAGNET has gone to her relief. She is owned by E.G. Merrick, & Sons, of Detroit.

The Home Insurance Co.'s tug MAGNET was at Sandusky yesterday, having on board 30 tons of railroad iron, which was taken from the schr. MOUNTAINEER, then on the bar at the entrance of the Bay. The MOUNTAINEER had a steam pump on board, which was working easily and with success. Capt. Kirby of the MAGNET, thought he would have her off in a short time if the weather continued favorable.

I found a post I was supposed to post earlier. These are my goodreads group reads for January.
- Food/Drink related theme (probably will read Wintergirls ) did not like this book and dropped it.
- Anna Karenina ( Don't own but got it on my ereader because of reading a little in the store. It is awesome) I'm not feeling it right now. Listening to it on audiobook now.
- East of Eden (is huge, my edition is a bind up including Wayward Bus. The bind up is five or six hundred pages. East of Eden takes up four or five hundred pages) Not going to probably read it until I finish either A Game of Thrones or Roots. Unless my mood says otherwise.
- Count of Monte Cristo (mine is abrighed so need to read on my ereader.) I probably will not get to it because I'm read Roots which is a big book. I started Count of Monte Cristo with Les Miserables last year. It was good as far as I read.
- ( I probably will go read backlog of books in my group especially on months that I do not own or want to read the books.)

Why, hello there, Mr. Hornworm
OK, I'm really tired of the hornworms devouring my tomato plants. Last year I had more hornworms in the garden than I've had in all previous years combined, I think. Last night while looking at the garden, I found two hornworms and saw a good bit of hornworm damage (tomato limbs completely denuded of their leaves). I always called these guys "tomato hornworms", but according to the following Wikipedia article, they're actually "tobacco hornworms":
"The Five-Spotted Hawkmoth (Manduca quinquemaculata) is a brown and gray hawk moth of the Sphingidae family. The caterpillar is often referred to as the tomato hornworm and can be a major pest in gardens. Tomato hornworms are closely related to (and sometimes confused with) the tobacco hornworm (Manduca sexta). This confusion arises because caterpillars of both species feed on the foliage of various plants from the family Solanaceae, so either species can be found on tobacco or tomato leaves, and the plant on which the caterpillar is found does not indicate its species. The larvae of these species can be distinguished by their lateral markings; tomato hornworms have eight V-shaped markings while tobacco hornworms have seven diagonal lines.[2] Furthermore, the caterpillars can be distinguished from the larval stage onwards by the color of the horns on their back ends: M. quinquemaculata caterpillars have black horns, while Manduca sexta caterpillars have red horns. The moths can be distinguished by the number of spots on their abdomen, with M. quinquemaculata having five."
One good thing about the hornworms....my chickens love them. Whenever I find one that's not covered in parasitic wasp larvae, it gets fed to the girls. If I see one with the wasp larvae clinging to it, I leave it alone so the larvae can mature and continue the cycle.
Hornworms can be very difficult to find in amongst the tomato plants (or peppers, or wherever they happen to be feeding). I normally spot the hornworms first that are covered with the rice-like parasitic wasp larvae, then look a bit further and discover the rest.
Hornworm playing host to parasitic wasp larvae. I'll leave these guys alone so the larvae can mature and produce more parasitic wasps.
Good riddance, evil hornwom! I found this deflated fellow on a tomato cage as I was cleaning up garden debris last autumn.

Mothers and Daughters
Since our holiday I have spent quite a lot of time dealing with my mother. She is fine really, fully recovered from her fall at Easter and when we are away she copes very well and tells everyone that she is well. A different story when I return from wherever I have been, however. She has this complaint or that and because she is 88 I cannot ignore it and have to make whatever arrangements or appointments etc etc. So we have been to the doctor, the dentist and the optician and I have had to arrange a hospital appointment for her to have a check up as her GP cannot find anything wrong! Then there is the weekly shopping trip and hair appointment as well as helping her with household bills - checking and filing, not paying - housework, ironing etc. And so the time goes on! All this and my own household to deal with - no wonder I run out of time and energy.
I also take time to chat with my own daughter on the phone, 2 or 3 times a week. I usually call in the evening just before 9 pm, when I know her little girl will be tucked up in bed and daughter will have, hopefully, finished most of her own chores. Last evening I took the opportunity to call and she told me a story about my grand-daughter (age 6, just). I will try to keep it as brief as possible!
Last Wednesday had been the 40th birthday of my daughter's friend J and the two of them had a "Pamper Day". J's husband volunteered to pick both their little boy and my grand-daughter, Imogen, up from school so that they didn't have to rush back and the day was very enjoyable and the girls returned to J's house suitably pampered and relaxed. Wednesday happens to be Imogen's swimming lesson day so daughter asked her if she wanted to stay and play with B or go swimming, there wasn't time for both. Immy decided on staying to play but when home time came announced that she would like to go swimming now! "No time" said daughter, "I gave you the choice and you decided on staying here". At that, Imogen threw a real tantrum, making a terrible fuss, crying and shouting and saying something about not having cake!
Daughter apologised to her friends, manhandled the unruly child into her car and got her home, where she manhandled her into their house. There she made no bones about telling her what an ungrateful, rude and naughty girl she was and that she was ashamed of her. "Why have I got to be grateful" Imogen asked. "Because A picked you and B up from school, gave you a lovely tea and you have had a lovely time playing. It is J's birthday, it was supposed to be a birthday tea for her and you have been very rude". Imogen, now realising what she had done, was mortified and immediately said that she felt very ashamed. She was told she would have to write a letter of apology to J and her husband and little boy. So Imogen got on with the letter and this is what she wrote -
"Dear J, A and B, I am really sorry for behaving so badly at your house today if there is any cake left can I have some please".
Daughter read it and said "you cannot send this because it looks as though you are only apologising because you want cake. Do another letter". Second letter was done - "Dear J, A and B, I am really sorry for behaving so badly today and I am ashamed of myself. I hope I can come to play again. love Imogen". The letter was given to J at school the following morning.
After the children had gone into school my daughter showed J the original letter. J laughed out loud, thought it extremely funny and asked if she could keep it to show Imogen when she is grown up. Daughter said she would let her have a copy! J also said that Imogen had written what we would probably all like to say but it is only children that have the nerve to say it.
So a lesson learned I think and her punishment was no TV for the rest of the week, which she accepted without any objection! I must add too that Imogen is a very sweet little girl and well behaved normally, but does have her "moments"! But then, don't we all!

Our children all have their moments Anne but this one was priceless. LOVED that letter!!! And thank you for sharing it as I had a jolly good chuckle. You have been so busy with taking care of your mum and all, and she is very lucky to have you. You are one of life's angels.
p.s. that was me who deleted the comment. Sorry! I'm not doing very well with my comments this morning, too many typo's.

I just loved this post. I think it is good that the letters are being saved because it was a priceless episode and everyone will laugh later on.
Yes...... they all get these tantrums! I know from experience.

What a great post, children will be children and the things they say can be priceless. I have a letter or two written by my stepdaughter when she was little.
When I saw you were posting so infrequently I thought you were probably busy with your mom and family.

I hope you are doing okay with all that running around. It sounds so tiring but I know you want to do it for your mum.
I loved the story about your granddaughter and I applaud your daughter for making her deal with the consequences. She'll grow up to be a wonderful girl with manners. My boy turns 4 tomorrow so comes out with things that make me smile or cringe on a daily basis! Have a great weekend. XX

When my daughter was born I was very inexperienced in child rearing. I did not have a clue what I was doing nor did I have any pre-made plans. As it worked out I was asked by a co-worker when I went back to work to look at a fund raising book from her child's school. I was not real excited about it but I thought I would look and see if there was something I could buy to help out this mother in need.
I ran across the most wonderful little paperback book about cakes and cupcakes you can make at home for children's birthdays. These were the cutest, most creative decorating ideas I had ever seen but then I had not been in the children's arena for long so what did I know. I ordered the book and pretty much forgot about it when it finally came in, you know how those fund raisers are.
When it arrived it was nearing my girls first birthday and I got really excited. We went through the book page by page together and because it was so colorful and she loved to be read to; she was mesmerized. I ran across a carrousel cake made with straws, and animal crackers glued together with icing and topping with a piece of cut out wrapping paper! I was so excited to see what I could do. I was a baker; I loved baking cakes but to date had not been big on decorating, just icing.
In the front of this little book they had actually put a place for you to write down the date and occasion and which cake you had made. I wrote down this cake for my little girls first birthday and gave it a whirl. I was so proud of the way it turned out and her eyes were as big as saucers when we put it in front of her on her day!
The next year she was old enough to point to the one she wanted for her birthday. Guess which one she picked? The carrousel it was and we did it again. She was as pleased as the first time. I think it was year four before I could actually talk her in to letting me try one of the other cakes! We finally did and she was as pleased as punch with the results. We wrote down her cakes every year and it became a tradition looking through the book a week or so in advance to make sure we had everything we needed.
We always had parties with family but when she got into Kindergarten we had a party with her friends from school and we picked a new cake. She was so proud of me when she showed her friends the birthday cake. I felt like a grand pastry chef with my wares on display. She was overjoyed with her cake, almost more than her gifts.
When my son was born, when she was seven years old, we talked about which one we should make him for his first birthday. We looked through the book and found a monster cake. Half the cake was in a cake pan and the other half was in an oven safe bowl to make it look like a round head. It was covered in green icing with green dyed coconut as fur. The antennas were straws with green dyed large marshmallows on the ends, the eyes were an open faced Oreo cookie with a malted milk ball stuck to the icing and all attached by icing. You carved a mouth out of the cake and filled it with icing and the teeth were candy corn and fang like. As you can imagine my son was purely tickled even at one year old.
That monster cake was his favorite for several years before I could get him to change as well. And to be honest I think he would still request it today at age twenty-one. I did make it for his eighteenth birthday and he got the biggest smile on his face and looked just like he did at one year, icing all over his fingers and everything! The memories came flooding back like a huge wave and it was amazing.
Building traditions with your kids, starting when they are very young, are memories that you both hold onto for a lifetime. The mere mention of a cake they loved or special toy or a particular moment that you both cherish not only brings it to your mind but warms your heart in a special way that can not be duplicated.
Not all of my cakes were successful either and those cakes stick out in our memories as well. One particular birthday when my daughter was about fourteen years old we took a few of her friends and went to a ranch with horse back riding. It had a small zoo, bumper cars, and tree houses as well. I can not remember the name of the place but a couple of things that we do remember bring a smile to our faces every time. One thing we remember was that the cake was a disaster, in more than one way! She had wanted a skate board that year. You carved off some of a sheet cake to a shape resembling the skate board and then you use four cupcakes cut to look like wheels. You ice the cake and put like pin stripes on the board and attach the wheels with icing and covered with chocolate sprinkles as I recall to make them look black. You could not cover it with sprinkles and then put it them on because you would pull the sprinkles off so I tried to do it afterwards and sort of press them on. Then as I was doing this the tires came undone. Pretty soon the icing no longer wanted to stick so I had to add more. By the time I was finished it looked awful but it was too late. Not only that but I had tried a new recipe and decided upon lemon. When the kids took a bite you could almost see their little cheeks sucking in from the sourness! All but my daughter's one friend who is Hispanic and she absolutely loved it so we ended up sending most of it home with her! Not all my cakes were successes but his one is a
happy memory as well just because I tried and it failed so miserably. My daughter still loved me when we were done.
The other precious memory was of this same little friend that loved the cake (that she still has today at age twenty eight). She had never been even near a horse in her life and she ended up on one of the biggest of the bunch because according to the guide it was the sweetest. She sat on that horse and hardly moved a muscle. She did not even want to turn her head to look at anything around her. God bless her little heart she was terrified. We offered to ride with her but she said she was fine and by the end of the ride she looked so relieved. We joked with her all the way home about her experience which I am sure she will never forget. And I was not much better off myself even though I had ridden before. I got the horse that always wanted to go back to the stables and when you would not let him he tried to scrape you off on the fence. Fun times.
Traditions can be made brand new or passed down from generations. The good traditions are the ones that make everyone smile and remember years from the actual event. These memories are priceless in the hearts of children and parents alike no matter how small, like a paperback book filled with kid's cake decorating ideas. This little book changed the course of our birthdays and our memories forever.

San Diego Marijuana Dispensaries Face Multiple Crackdowns
Thursday, October 20, 2011
SAN DIEGO San Diego City Attorney Jan Goldsmith is mailing letters to San Diego dispensaries telling them they need to shut down because they violate city zoning laws.
San Diego doesn't have an ordinance dictating where dispensaries can operate, and Goldsmith says that means all marijuana storefronts in the city are illegal, and can be shut down. He says that's consistent with state law.
"Medicinal marijuana that was approved by voters in 1996 didn't say a word about dispensaries or having storefronts. That's a fiction of their imagination and that's not the law," he said. "So, when you're talking about land use, the city gets to decide that."
Goldsmith said the city tried to work with medical marijuana advocates to establish zones where dispensaries could operate. But an ordinance passed by the City Council was later repealed after advocates said it was too restrictive, and gathered enough signatures to force a vote on the issue.
Alex Kreit chaired the city's medical marijuana task force. He says the ordinance was not perfect, but that medical marijuana supporters may have miscalculated when they opposed the regulations.
"The City Council, understandably, I don't think is that interested in taking the issue up again because they feel like they passed something," he said. "Some members, it seems, feel like they got what was politically possible to get."
Medical marijuana advocates say they're working to get a better ordinance on the books. For now, San Diego dispensaries are left in legal limbo while the local and federal governments move in.

Children's assessments to moderate, finish and enter for the LA (local authority)
Our student teacher's observations and standards files to write up.
Planning for the coming week to do
Needle felted polar bear to finish
Painting to finish.
Pictures to frame, felt to frame, exhibition pieces to hang
In all of this it is easy to forget the boys and Tim.
Then there is this
Alpaca fleece, that came to me via Twitter of all places. Beware making comments on people's pictures it sometimes results in gifts you can't refuse.
I have never ever dealt with raw fleece before. So I invested in a set of carding combs, a bucket and a sweater drying net. Next was a trawl of the internet (wonderful invention, thanks Tim Berner's Lee; bet you had no idea what crafter's would do with your wonderful net!), Spinderella came up trumps with a guide to washing raw fleeces of different ilk.
Starting with a tiny batch as a trial run I am now hoping for sunshine, or warmth at least, so that I can have a go at carding the fibers. The alpaca's that donated the fleece are a most beautiful combination of creamy white and butterscotch brown. I can't wait to try out the felting to see how they turn out.
In between all that I have some stories to type up and send out there into cyberspace. Could do with a little Wrinkle in Time just for me, anyone got a spare tesseract?

Hi ladies and HCP. I used to be on the nexplanon arm implant. I gained over 110 lbs on it in a year, so I got off of it last October 2nd. Since then I have not had my period naturally. My Obgyn gave me progesterone one month, and I had my period once, the following month I had a miscarriage due to over the counter treatment of a yeast infection, after that I couldn't afford the copay every time I visited the Obgyn so I talked to my normal Dr, and she did the same thing, II took the progesterone for ten days, had my period once and haven't had it since, mind you before the implant I had my cycle every month. So last Thursday my Dr started me on a low dose birth control pill (I've been hesitant to take birth control after gaining so much weight on the last one) one been taking it faithfully for a week although I have been a couple hours late the last two days due to being extremely busy, I have started my cycle today and I'm only a week into the pills, is that normal? I just want to make sure everything is going ok. Lol I'm probably the only woman ever to be excited about her period because I am only 21 and I want kids... Help me out, y'all please tell me the norm, and what to expect
Just started birth control pills?

I've got so much going on that I figure it's a good time to do another Personal Liberty Interlude session
Reconnecting with Family: I've recently had the opportunity to reconnect with family I haven't talked to in a very long time. I'm talking 10+ years. Everyone knows that I have a little brother on my mom's side. Him and I are very close. Many don't know that I have a sister and brother on my father's side. They live in Chicago and we used to talk regularly but lost touch when I was sixteen or so. Well about a month ago my sister found me on Facebook and contacted me. Through her I was able to get in touch with my father, whom I haven't spoken to since high school. Strange and awkward though it was I'm glad we were able to speak. We had a nice talk and I learned that I have another younger sister and brother. In the meantime a family crisis required me to drive to California over the weekend. However that situation I will blog about at a later date.
thewellversed.com: I am so excited about this site that one would think that it was mine. I am fortunate enough to have a lot of talented and brilliant friends, friends that I want to see realize their full potential and follow their dreams. I said a long time ago that this particular group of friends should create their own website and now they have. It's an awesome website and it excites me that I was around to see it happen. I remember a year ago when The Well Versed was just an unnamed concept. So a huge congratulations to my friends for what they've been able to accomplish.
Funny How…: ….You can fight with someone one minute and then something happens that renders all grievances petty and insignificant. Though I won't hesitate to stand my ground and go toe to toe with anyone the truth of the matter is that I really don't like conflict. Therefore I'm always willing to make amends when there's an opportunity to do so, especially if it's with someone I have a long history with. When you've gone to hell and back with someone it makes it easier to humble yourself and exchange apologies.
Things That Make Me SMDH: Fools that jump into the middle of a situation equipped with half the story and a conviction that they "got it all figured out". Recently I've had certain people act like they know more about some aspects of my life than I do. Speaking on things they know nothing about. All I can do is smdh. And continue to smdh as I watch another set of fools make asses of themselves as they steer themselves into a very obvious train wreck. A part of me wants to be messy and burst some bubbles, but I don't even care enough to do that. Besides, folks are effective at bursting their own bubbles. And there's nothing to burst if the bubbles are imaginary.
Until the next interlude….

I just reformatted my laptop walaupon baru je format awal intern hari tu. Thanks Nawi *wink2. Lepas aku mintak ko format, sume nak mintak format kat ko. Ngahaha. Soriii ;)
Eh, lari topik pulak. You want to know why I had to format my lappy? Because I clicked on a !$%^&* SPAM.
Punye lah innocent fikir 'orang tersebut' btol2 nak mintak tolong.
*@#$%: I cant decide if i should make this photo my default. What do you think? Click on link.
So, I went on to click on that link.
Bongok tak? Rase nak dush dush dush je diri sendiri.
The minute I saved that !@$% virus in my laptop, it started to spread spam using my YM! and GTalk account.
You wanna know what BS nonsense it spammed?
naddy: I just got my lip pierced. Tell me what you think of the photo I took of it earlier. Click on link.
Sejak bile pulak aku pierce my lips? Nak kena kejar dengan mak aku dengan pisau ke? Gahaha
Mereka yang mendapat spam itu pulak sume buat2 tanya lak. Haha. Geram weh dengan diri sendiri. *Dush dush dush diri sendiri T_T
So, after that stupid kejadian, I had to format my laptop. I was planning to upgrade my RAM, so alang alang pegi la upgrade sekali. I also bought the original anti-virus. Kaspersky. The 3-user ones. One for my laptop, one for the PC at home and one for... I don't know. Cepat cepat!
Who wants to be my anti-virus buddy?
I bought it for RM105 (I know I know. It's kinda expensive. It's more cheaper during PC Fair tapi nak wat cemane kan?). I'll sell the third ownership for RM30. Okay kan? Please please be lah my anti-virus buddy. Kite share share virus jum? Gahahaha. I'm really broke rite now. I spent RM300 on my laptop for the RAM, anti-virus and format service fee. I hope it isn't slow anymore. If tak, I baling and beli baru je nanti (macam ade duet plak).
Oh, about the spamming thing. I kinda got traumatized when people give links through gtalk now.
The other day, someone pm'ed me their blog link. And this is what happened.
*excerpt from chat
!@#$%^&: blogspot link
naddy: ni spam ke?
!@#$%^&: tak. blog aku. =.='
naddy: (trauma tekan link.haha)

Notice of Removal [1].[1] Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §636(c), the parties have consented to jurisdiction by a United States Magistrate Judge [104].
Before me is the motion of defendant Makino, Inc. ("Makino") to exclude the opinion of plaintiff's expert witness, Kevin B. Sevart, P.E., and for summary judgment pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. ("Rule") 56 [105]. Oral argument was held on October 8, 2014 [112]. For the following reasons, the motion is granted.
Plaintiff seeks to recover for personal injuries sustained on April 11, 2008, when her hand became entangled in a spinning reamer tool attached to an upright drill press manufactured by Makino's predecessor, the Fosdick Machine Tool Company. Amended Complaint [1-1]. The drill press was manufactured in the mid-1940s. Deposition of plaintiff's expert witness, Kevin B. Sevart, P.E. [105-9], p. 31.
Mr. Sevart applied a methodology known as "design hierarchy", the purpose of which is to "[e]liminate all hazards, if possible, without unduly compromising function or utility of machine", and as to "hazards [which] cannot be eliminated, provide some form of physical protection or occurred protecting the operator". Sevart Affidavit [109], ¶11. He concluded that the drill press was defective because it "should have been provided with barrier guarding to prevent unintended contact with the rotating components, including the spindle and tool. This barrier could have been interlocked to allow for easy access, but prevent excess while the machine was running". Sevart Report, [105-7], p. 4, ¶1.[2]
In moving for summary judgment, Makino argues that "Sevart's opinions do not meet the standards of reliability set forth in Rule 702 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc. , 509 U.S. 579 (1993). As a result, Sevart's opinions cannot be considered and plaintiff is left with no proof on the essential element of feasible alternative design." Makino's Memorandum of Law [105-3], p. 5.
Plaintiff suggests that Makino is not entitled to summary judgment because it has failed to offer admissible evidence that the drill press was reasonably safe for its intended use. Plaintiff's Memorandum of Law [110], pp. 3-4. That might be true if this action were still in state court. See Smith v. Allen, 124 A.D.3d 1128, 1129 (3rd Dept. 2015) ("As the proponents of a motion for summary judgment, it was incumbent upon defendants to "make a prima facie showing of entitlement to judgment as a matter of law, tendering sufficient evidence to demonstrate the absence of any material issues of fact").
However, "[b]ecause this is a diversity case, we apply state substantive law... and federal procedural law", In re Fosamax Products Liability Litigation , 707 F.3d 189, 193 (2d Cir. 2013), and there is "no express or implied requirement in Rule 56 that the moving party support its motion with affidavits or other similar materials negating the opponent's claim". Celotex Corp. v. Catrett , 477 U.S. 317, 323 (1986) (emphasis in original). Instead, once discovery is complete (as in this case), the moving party need merely "demonstrat[e] that the non-moving party's evidence is insufficient to establish an essential element of the non-moving party's claim". Farid v. Smith , 850 F.2d 917, 924 (2d Cir. 1988).
A. Applicable Substantive Law
Plaintiff alleges claims for negligence and strict liability based on defective design. However, she does not dispute Makino's assertion that those two claims "are considered to be functionally equivalent". Makino's Memorandum of Law [105-3], Point V. Therefore, I need only address her defective design claim.
Under New York law, "[i]n order to establish a prima facie case in strict products liability for design defects, the plaintiff must show that the manufacturer breached its duty to market safe products when it marketed a product designed so that it was not reasonably safe and that the defective design was a substantial factor in causing plaintiff's injury." Voss v. Black & Decker Mfg. Co. , 59 N.Y.2d 102, 107 (1983). To meet her burden, plaintiff must "present evidence that the product, as designed, was not reasonably safe because there was a substantial likelihood of harm and it was feasible to design the ...

Having a job is great, especially during these times BUT it's possible you're underpaid (like radio hosts). A new website called GetRaised.com will tell you just how underpaid you are AND help you get a raise! All you do is enter some basic info about your job, experience, location and it will show you how much you should be making. Then you can pay $20 for them to create a custom raise request for you – if you don't get a raise in six months, they will refund your money.
Okay, now someone needs to try this and report back to me if it works! That way I can try it on my boss too!

Yessssssssssss !
I was on Urban Original and I found some Jessica Simpson knockoff's. As in, the boots from last last post.
Other than that, today a day of decisions. My friend's party is today, and I have to dress in a Halloween costume. Well, when you don't have a costume, a gift, and your parent's want to go to Palm Springs and shop, the choice is rather easy. But this is like a reeeeeally close friend of mine. I was looking forward to it this week, considering that it's a party. I knew I needed to find one, and fast. I was thinking between a chola or a grape, which are both diy. There's gonna be Mexican's at her party, and I didn't want to offend anyone, and you can't dance in a grape costume (people are bound to pop my balloon grapes anyways..). I feel bad. But this is my family whom I haven't spent any quality time with in weeeeeeeks. The party is at 6. And I'm going to be BOTHERED constantly on Monday by friends who had "lots of fun! why didn't you go?!".
about those boots..

Jeff took off early and was probably at the hotel by 12:30. Lisa started riding with our usual group, but after the first SAG, about 10:30 ET, broke off to ride on her own--that was not really the intention, but was hoping to find other riders along the way to ride with; unfortunately, that did not happen, so she rode by herself. She was trying to get to the hotel by 3:00 for the interview linked below. She recorded the highest average speed of the entire trip and was doing good for time...until those aforementioned hills and traffic lights in Tallahassee, not to mention the Florida heat (we started out in jackets with temps in the mid 50s). There were a ton of turns in Tallahassee, and unfortunately, the Garmin locked up, so she had to rely on the arrows put down on the ground by Ed and Joyce (bless you both!). That and the route sheet in hand kept her on course. No wrong turns anywhere, and thank God for no flats (she actually prayed for this very thing, so thank God, indeed!). She arrived at the hotel at 2:50, and we got the call from Michelle Li, reporter from WISC-TV 3 in Madison, WI, at 3:30. Whew! Just enough time to down a diet Coke and freshen up the helmet hair in time to be on the air, though I think I looked visibly tired. We are grateful for the added publicity for Pedal 4 Paws and Custom Canines.
Thanks to Verizon, we were able to conduct a short interview.
Verizon sponsored us by donating an in-kind donation of a Sony tablet, Samsung Note 4 smartphone, both with hotspots and unlimited data for these 2 months of the trip. It has all proved invaluable, not only to us, but to several fellow riders who used the hotspot to reach loved ones at home when no WiFi was available in the remote areas we were in. However, have to say that Verizon had the most extensive and available network connections as opposed to their competitors.
Milestone: Entered the Eastern Time Zone. We gained an hour coming over the middle of the Chattahoochee River.
By the way, Lisa says it is not her favorite to ride alone. She found herself singing songs from Bruce Springsteen ("Living Proof," "Thunder Road"), Stevie Nicks ("Landslide"), Garth Brooks ("Baton Rouge") just to pass the time and hear anything but the sound of traffic and the bike wheels. It makes us again realize how nice it is to have a group to ride with and how much we help each other get through those miles each day.

Hooray! The new art desk I got last weekend has been pretty successful. Just seeing it at the end of the living room reminds me to draw. Here's what I've done the last few days.
My sweetie and I have had these mice for several weeks now. Almost immediately I began thinking of the inevitable day when they leave on an epic fantasy adventure.
Note: Objects named Violet are smaller than they appear.
Timid Lily is the healer, brave Violet is a hammer warrior (wearing red to draw aggro) and sneaky Ivy is a thief. And, no, I didn't make them costumes in real life but they do have a pirate ship.
My color work with markers is still shaky. I don't like the muddiness and lack of color balance.
But it was super fun getting in some practice!
I just finished Scourge, a Star Wars novel by the uncomparable Jeff Grubb...who happens to sit in the desk across from me at work. I like how these turned out, even though Zonnos should probably look a little less smart.
For the first time I'm really relating to hutts as characters. And his main character (human, not hutt) is a relatable, almost nerdy jedi. I loved the book, especially the characters, the whole way through. What can I say? Mr Grubb is good at what he does.

It was a sad day yesterday, as my husband and I realized that we really had to re-house the heritage breed ducks that we had hand raised for three – four years. What we didn't anticipate was the heartbreak that our oldest son experienced when I told him about the ducks leaving our farm. He burst out in real tears. He had formed a very real attachment with one of the ducks — a Magpie hen. Three years ago we had a series of pictures taken of him with that duck, and he took it to show and tell at school. Since then, he had sporadic interactions with the duck, as it really preferred spending time and space with other ducks than with people. We compromised with him by the end of the day, extending the option of a Spring, 2011 choice of farm animal (anything!) that he chooses, he may have and take care of, to make up for us selling his duck. The ducks were, as I mentioned, heritage breed ducks, that my husband had researched and found at Holderred Preservation Game Farm in Oregon. They were all about five to ten dollars each as day-olds (plus shipping) and we were doing it to help repopulate and promote the breeds… looking for other breeders of the breeds that we had and seeking to keep purebred Magpies, Saxony's, etc. It turned out that raising ducks was much, much different from chickens and turkeys – two animals that we can care for in our sleep, and do rather well with. Our turkey mortality rate is fabulously low (which is unusual even in many large, professional farms) and our chickens are really healthy and extremely productive. Ducks were just dirty. All of the time. I mean, they were well-groomed, and clean-looking, but they made a terrible mess of the poultry pasture; crushing vegetation with their orange stompers, pooping and breeding in their little pond (that our two-year old son fell into a month ago), and a bunch of other irritating, but little things. So, after many conversations, we decided that the ducks, though laying eggs, were not as productive as we had anticipated, or as their feed intake merited, and they were rehoused yesterday.
So, we have these wonderful herd foundation quality piglets for sale… they are heritage breed crosses (with a few exceptions which are 100% Tamworth). We had Betsey come out from New York State on Sunday to pick up her two gilts. She picked some beauties, but there are about fifteen more lovelies to go. Gilts are $110 now, and boars are $90 now. They will be barrows soon, and available as such in two weeks. In another month, we will have some more large enough to be weaned and available as well — the ones coming up are Berkshire/Tamworth. Hobby Farms magazine published an article by Carol Ekarius in which the advantages of heritage breed pigs is explained in great detail, and she says the following:
…The taste difference of Tamworth meat is not simply something that only producers talk about. Chefs from some of America's finer restaurants have noticed the difference and are featuring Tamworth pork on their menus…
It is for that reason, as well as the temperament issue, that we actually house and enjoy having, a full-sized, 600-1000 lb Tamworth Boar on the property, along with the rest of our free-ranging poultry, free-ranging children, and other small creatures. "Big Red" the boar is very large framed, very long-legged and has a humongous head. Like other long snouted pigs, the Tamworth has not had the rooting instinct bred out of their genetics. He, more than any of our other pastured pigs, knows how powerful that nose is, and how to tip anything, push anything over and move everything that he wants to. But he is not dangerous. I will give him that. The Tamworth nose, as compared with a Berkshire nose, is very, very different. Berkshires have a more dished face and more "pug-like" nose, which is less effective at rooting, and we have noticed that Olive does far less escaping and digging than her red bodied Tamworth counterparts. Heritage breed pigs are lovely farm animals when pastured and attended to often.
I am compiling a list of people who are interested in purchasing 5-7 pound Cornish Roasters for pickup in mid-December. Like all of our poultry, I research all of our feed labels and correspond with the feed comapnies to ensure that all of the products that pass through our animals beaks are 100% vegetarian, and as local as reasonably possible, and absolutely made without antibiotics, growth enhancers, medications or empty calorie fillers or other additives that don't make sense. Our birds are fed on a schedule that slows down their growth rate, to ensure that they don't suffer from the common leg and internal organ failures of commercial confinement farming of cornish hens. We are about quality of life, not speed of growth. Local Cornish Roasters from Wells Tavern Farm will be ready (USDA processed and frozen) in mid-December, for $4.50 lb.

Yesterday was the coldest day we've had here so far this fall. I love cold weather but I often have issues finding just the right coat to wear. Which brings me to what I believe may become an annual tradition: The Coat Countdown. Over the next little bit, I'll be revealing my top 15 picks in this season's outerwear.
Today, the focus is all about trends. There have been quite a few upgrades from the standard issue Old Navy pea coat from seasons past. Outerwear has taken on a whole new stylish look. The top trends this season (in my opinion) are Faux Fur, Plaid, Military and Boyfriend. Structured shoulders, cropped sleeves and metal hardware are also making their presence known again in this years looks.
Faux Fur
This trend is not for the faint of heart. To avoid looking too Dynasty or Cruella de Vil-esque, couple your fur (faux of course) with casual. Light colored destroyed denimn and lightweight fabrics make great companions to this fancy throwback.
Plaid looks great almost any way you style it. From casual everyday jackets to super retro styled looks, the key to wearing plaid is to make sure it is the right size. Smaller, darker plaids will seem dressier and make you appear slimmer. Larger plaids infer a more laid back look.
The newest military styles involve loads of dressed up chain, badges and shoulder regalia. This look is perfect to pair with everything from party dresses to jeans and a white tee.
One of the most popular looks for fall, the boyfriend trend, is lingering into winter. Because of the oversized structure, boyfriend looks are best paired with very simple and slim fit pants and skirts. Make sure to add a girlie accessory to keep from feeling too much like your boyfriend!
Fur, Urban Outfitters; Hitched Skirt Plaid, Topshop; Boyfriend, Silence and Noise

Windsor Castle
Hello there! I suppose it's been approximately a week since my last post, but please forgive me - I've been out and about nonstop. All of this seems to have left me susceptible to a cold, which I'll have to fight my way through by Friday, aka the start of London Fashion Week.
This past weekend I went on a home stay about an hour out of the city. It was delightful. The family was so sweet and I felt very welcome in their home. On Saturday, I took a trip up to Windsor Castle. What a sight! It's everything you'd imagine a castle to be. I found myself particularly enthralled with the collection of art - paintings, photographs, and other relics. I cannot even fathom the construction and design process of buildings so elaborate and extravagant. It's quite breathtaking.
It's definitely a required visit in the UK, in my opinion.
I hope all is well with you.
xox Catherine

(Neb.)-NPPD To Send Crews For Sandy Assistance
By: Chris Fankhauser Posted at: 10/31/2012 08:32 AM
(Columbus)-Sixteen distribution line technicians from the Nebraska Public Power District will leave Wednesday morning to assist in restoring electrical power to areas devastated by Hurricane Sandy along the country's east coast. NPPD crews will be assisting Appalachian Power Company, a division of American Electric Power, in West Virginia.
Over 150,000 Appalachian Power Company customers were reported to be without power due to blizzard conditions and heavy snow in the state from Hurricane Sandy. Organizing this assistance was the Midwest Mutual Aid group comprised of various utilities in Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri.
According to President and CEO Pat Pope, this is just another way that NPPD proves its motto to be 'Always there when you need us'. He said their crews are obviously dedicated to serving our Nebraska customers first, but when able, NPPD also wants to provide the same type of assistance they were provided when their customers were without power during the 2006 and 2007 ice storms.
NPPD line technicians from Scottsbluff, South Sioux City, Lexington, Ogallala, Norfolk, Sutherland, Shelton, Ainsworth, Humboldt, Gordon, Oakland, York, Atkinson, and Pawnee City operations will be assisting in the power restoration. NPPD crews are expected to be in West Virginia through November 7, but could remain longer depending on the damage and needs of the Appalachian Power Company.

Hello Kitty airline
Flight attendants, headrests, in flight programming and pillows all have the popular Sanrio character upon them in some manner:
Passengers can also purchase limited edition duty-free products, such as Hello Kitty-shaped pasta, miniature plane models, and the flight attendant Hello Kitty aprons.
Fans can check Hello Kitty Jet flight schedules, details of the latest travel packages and more on the dedicated website (in Chinese, Korean and Japanese only).
Watch how a new boring Airbus 330-300s turned into a Hello Kitty plane.
The carrier has recently launched three Hello Kitty-themed aircraft [Chinese language], on which everything from the fuselage to the flight attendants to the food is kitted out in the kawaii cat brand's images.
Passengers have been purring with delight, according to Anna Wong, an EVA Air public relations officer in Hong Kong. "Many people specify that they want to take EVA's special Hello Kitty jet," said Wong. "The response has been excellent so far."
This isn't the first time Taiwan's second-largest carrier and Japan's comic company, Sanrio, which owns the Hello Kitty brand, have collaborated.
The two companies launched the first generation of Hello Kitty jets in 2005. That Kitty fleet was disbanded in 2009, after its licensing agreement expired.
Magic Jet flies to Sapporo and Guam. Apple Jet flies to Seoul and Fukuoka. Global Jet serves Hong Kong and Tokyo.
To book, passengers need to check for specific flight codes. See the bottom of this article for details.
The boarding gate in Taipei's Taoyuan International Airport is pink and features a Hello Kitty playground.Passengers can also purchase limited edition duty-free products, such as Hello Kitty-shaped pasta, from flight attendants wearing Hello Kitty aprons.
A dedicated website (in Chinese, Korean and Japanese only) features Kitty White -- Hello Kitty's "real" name -- from which we learn that Hello Kitty weighs as much as three apples and is as tall as five apples.
Apple Jet flies Taipei-Fukuokaevery Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday; Taipei-Seoul
