In the shadow of recent challenges with my right hand and arm, I found this 6 minute video to be not only interesting, but very poignant. We have young men and women out there literally giving their arms and legs, and even their lives for our freedom. And there are many gifted people inspired to help. Give it a look.
A Little History:
Our story begins in Pocatello, Idaho, circa 1972, when the lovely Debby Christensen agreed to a first, though fateful date with admirer, David Croshaw. Long story-short, he bade her follow him, and they went arm-in-arm to the Logan, Utah temple for establishment of an eternal family unit, Generation 1, on May 23 1973.
From their first blissful summer in Salt Lake City, educational pursuits took them to Provo/Orem, Utah, birthplace of Leslie and Rebecca, and to San Francisco/Oakland California, birthplace of Colin and Matt. Then, for establishment of livelihood, expansion of the tribe with Abby and Dana, and for raising/unifying of Generation 2, it was back to the roots in Pocatello for a rewarding sojourn.
In time, driven by a raging, but commonly shared sense of adventure and independence, one-by-one, Generation 2 escaped the homeland to distant regions of the country and the world, each ultimately developing their own tribal expansions by pairing with worthy mates and initiating Generation 3.
Now sensing fulfillment of their purpose in Pocatello, Generation 1 has also left those roots and transplanted to Cascade Idaho, from which base, they anticipate more abundant contact with The Posterity, Generations 2 and 3, in the future. That contact however, awaits fulfillment of a call to LDS missionary service in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, wherein they hope to help the state of the world by sharing the love of Jesus Christ.
So now, including Generation 0 (Grandma and Grandpa Christensen) home base includes Yuma, Arizona, Pocatello, Idaho, Cascade, Idaho, Vancouver, BC, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Spokane, Washington, Boise, Idaho, Los Angeles, California, back to Boise, Idaho, and on and on (Generation 3+) to infinity.
Our Mission Statement:
This is the blog of our eternal family unit. Initiated years ago, it served well as a journal, but even more so, as an archive of our personal interaction. It was a gathering place, a confabulation instrument, a unifying force for four generations of widely dispersed and progressively prolific posterity, and their valued associates. Though it served these purposes well for many years, it eventually took a back seat to new-kids-on-the-block, Facebook, and Instagram, and was sadly forgotten.
We now move to resurrect this blog with an added functional purpose of archiving the missionary experiences of Generation 1, of their movements and activities as they participate with The Gathering of Israel in the land northward. In so doing, we hope that via their own comments and posts, this blog will again serve to gather and unify the posterity and their friends.
As in the past, that the young and vibrant may know the old and tired, that enduring bonds may be fostered and maintained, that experience and encouragement may be openly shared, that posterity may embrace truth, and that hearts may be knit together, we must resist detachment despite our geographic divergence. We shall do so here.

So touching. Matt and I watched an episode of 60 minutes last year based on this research. It really is amazing. I remember watching the military guy in the defense dept. (with one arm) pick up a grape with the prosthesis and I was like... WOW.
Anyway, hits home on multiple levels considering my brother is a Marine, your recent brush with appendages and limbs (yikes) and bio-techology.
I love that it "reads" neurological pulses, that just amazes me every time I think about it! How!? Wow!

It's past the witching hour here and my eyes are screaming at me. I'm really sorry for being a bad caretaker, my dear Eyes, but sometimes things must be done before I can rest in peace (no, not die), and that is crucial in making sure that you don't start working in the middle of the night.
So. Today was the final day of Year One. It's amazing how the word 'final' conveys a much stronger message compared to 'last'. Anyway, school was the usual, albeit a little dry and lengthy as we were going through our Chemistry quiz (*double yawn*). After a very (un)productive study session (blame it on the sinus, baby) in the library, we headed off to lunch. I had this heavy tray with a mini pan, a saucer filled to the brim with Honey Brown Sauce and a bowl of hot soup with my utensils sticking out of it (it was so filthy I had to dip it in). Walking… Walking… "Whoa whoa!" by this group of students trying to keep out of my way… and then…
The Glass Door.
The school did a great job with the maintenance of its facilities so the door was as shiny as ever. The metal handles gleamed in the daylight. I would have grabbed it and pushed, but my hands were really busy (did I mention I'm really clumsy with trays?). While praying for a kind soul to give me a hand, I started edging the door open with my left foot. I reckon a girl with weak hand muscles carrying a tray loaded with food and doing her best with her foot to get the door open wide enough was really not pathetic enough for someone with free hands (and there were many) to just hold the door for her. That must be it. Next time, she'll just have to carry the tray with her feet and push the door open with her hands.
Looks like my brain is severely deprived of oxygen. It's going to be like this for the next week or so, with the study week and exams popping up. I'm never a consistent worker. I study only the topics I have interest in and that makes me better in those topics than I am of the others. However, that doesn't change a thing. I still study my best topics. It irks me sometimes, but I guess that's just me. If you don't like it, leave. If I don't like it, you leave too.
*Yawn yawn*
Any other worthy-to-share issues? Yes. This. Is. A. Must.
I won't be super specific because of sensitivity issues, but here's the gist (yeah right) of it. You know when organisations conduct surveys? "All your details and responses will be kept confidential." Is it just me, or does anyone else still feel uncomfortable sharing your deepest thoughts? Most times though, that squeamishness just subsides because the matter is no longer pursued. However, when the person being surveyed confronts you, how would you feel about such matters in the future? That awkwardness, that feeling of guilt even when there's no guilt. Such a wonderful experience!
It's human (or beast) nature that when receiving negative feedback, you become defensive. That degree of defensiveness varies from one human being to the other. Apparently, some people can't let it go and thus comes the word 'confrontation'. "I want to know who said I was 'blah blah blah' and I want revenge." This statement is usually printed on the unhappy party's forehead when she's trying so hard to extricate information from those poor few who are standing right under her nose. Too bad, rolling of the eyes isn't going to do much help except make the next feedback worse than the last.
Here's a song I recently got obsessed over. It's called Skinny Love, sung by Birdy. In case you were wondering, it's not a recording of chirps. Birdy is a girl as young as my second sister. She's from the UK if my brain's not screwed up and she's good, bloody good.
*Yawn yawn YAWN*
Well… Bonne nuit.

With or without a traditional sweetheart, I am a fool for Valentine's Day and its message, "Send Love."
The trappings, of course, speak directly to my child and grown-up soul: paper, red, ribbons, doilies, stickers, handmade cards and envelopes and hearts, miles and miles of hearts.

We are a source of magic, of beauty, of wonder, part of nature, blessed with the gift of language and the power to heal. We are, oh the impossible luck, the Valentines.

Dealing with my first request for sex; Earl Spencer speaks of decapitation; and my State Pension claim hassle
Approached in the street for sex - the first time I've ever been asked
Well! This could have been my big moment. But it's not a memory to cherish. Yesterday evening, I was in Hove at about 8.30pm. I was going to have a seafront walk. It was warm and calm, and there were lots of people around with the same thing in mind - if they weren't actually enjoying a barbecue on the shingle beach itself.
I'd just parked Fiona, and having been stung for parking fines before in Hove, I was peering around, looking for a sign that confirmed that (a) Fiona was in a parking space I could use without penalty, and (b) there really was nothing to pay, as was usual after 8.00pm. (The local authority has reduced me to paranoia on this subject)
Well, I must have looked like a cute (but available) girl in a summer dress to the two young men who were crossing the road, one of them rather tipsy. The tipsy one was wearing a suit, but still managed to look dishevelled. I tried not to catch his attention. But he lurched towards me and said: 'How about it, darling? I haven't had sex for ages.' With a chat-up line like that, it wasn't surprising. I wasn't so much insulted, but peeved at having to cope with this idiot. I'm afraid my irritation was plain. 'Oh, go away,' I said, quite sharply. Rather to my surprise, he did. Just like that. So my unsubtle reaction did the trick.
I wondered what on earth had been in his mind. Had he expected me to say, 'I'm so glad you asked. I need sex too. Look, there's a nice patch of grass: let's rip these clothes off, and get down to it. Just no kissing, and no vomit.' Or (running away) 'No, no, no, leave me alone, I don't want sex with you!', which of course would merely trigger Chase Mode. There's no knowing what he was thinking.
I kept an eye on them as they walked up the road. They fell into step with another woman a hundred yards away. I wondered if I should abandon my stroll, and be on hand to intervene if necessary. The sisterhood thing. But she just ignored them, and they gave up. No rescue was needed.
Sex in the City. Huh.
Earl Spencer
Lady Diana's brother, whose bad boy image when younger was transformed in a stroke by his forthright address at Westminster Abbey, on the occasion of Diana's funeral in 1997. I'd somehow overlooked him when booking my tickets for the Appledore Book Festival. He had a mid-evening spot one hour after Irma Kurtz had discussed her life as an agony aunt. Just enough time for fish and chips. He was going to talk about his new book, on the infamy of King Charles I's execution at the bloody hands of the Commonwealth Men. Right up my street.
I discovered this booking omission this morning, immediately got onto the website, and bought a ticket before the hoi polloi collared the whole lot. Because this was the morning that all and sundry could apply for tickets, not just Friends of the ABF. That'll now be thirteen Festival events to attend. Maybe I'll get a prize for being the most assiduous event goer? 'A magnum of champagne, Miss Melford, the least we can do in recognition of your support.' Oh, thanks! How nice!
State Pension claim hassle
They don't let you claim until your pension start date is less than four months away. I met that condition on 6 July. I've been waiting daily for the letter that's supposed to be sent from the government's Pension Service, inviting me to claim. You do have to claim - payment isn't automatic.
Well, I was getting tired of waiting for that letter, and more and more inclined to take matters into my own hands and push things along. Give them a poke. So I phoned the Pension Service this morning. A nice lady answered. 'Oh, I don't think the batch with your letter in it has gone out yet. It only says that you have a choice to claim or defer. If you want to claim now, and if you're doing it online, just say you've had the letter, and go on from there'.
Right! I'll make my claim online. Sounds so convenient! I just need to remember to put 'Yes!' in the box that says 'Now are you absolutely sure that you've had your letter?'. Easy peasy.
It wasn't easy peasy of course. The next question: are you registered for the Government Gateway? I was! Merrily I typed in my user number or password. What next? My name, date of birth and National Insurance number. I knew these by heart. Oh...no recognition. I re-entered the details. But I was still bounced.
So it was back to the Pension Service. A different nice lady this time. This person had a Scottish accent, and somehow I had more faith in her. All was well until she entered my National Insurance number. No access to my records. She tried twice. No, she definitely couldn't access them. It would have to be done manually, using a paper claim form. Did I mind? No, of course not; in fact I rather preferred doing it that way. She will send the form out today, and I should get it early next week (this being Friday).
Thus stands the saga so far. I'm beginning to have grave doubts about the government's online services. I always had suspicions about systems that steer you away from good honest paper forms, with real writing on them, and a signature - a tangible thing that the person on the receiving end will treat differently from a boring screen full of standardised typed-in letters and numbers; and maybe with more respect and attention.
I want that respect and attention. Because I want my pension to get set up without hitches or mistakes.
It's funny how, sooner or later, you have to set aside the machine and the Internet and do it the old-fashioned way. I've noticed that when something goes seriously wrong, top people will send letters to each other. 'I have today written to the Home Secretary seeking an explanation...' 'The minister has given me her assurance in a letter that...' Something that involves handwriting. Something that can be physically filed away, and kept. Archaic things, letters and forms. But this is the method of choice when anything really important is involved.
That's why I don't mind that something as important as my pension will have to be claimed in writing.

There can be an issue with the DWP and them restricting accounts so that low level employees can't access them. This is due to privacy laws and people that have have a GRC are usually automatically set to this status. It is a source of constant irritation amongst the trans community, it has led to people having no access to benefits for months due to Jobcentre staff being unable to access their details.
There is much discussion on Facebook within certain groups about this, but there doesn't seem to be any easy solution to this that I can offer. I hope however that knowledge of the problem is of use to you
Thank you for your comment.ReplyDelete
Yes, I had heard about the 'GRC problem'. You get around it, apparently, by explaining that you possess a GRC and that a senior officer can get access to your records, if the call is put through to them. But of course, who wants to endure that rigmarole every time you phone up?
Once my State Pension is set up, I'm hoping it will run without need for regular intervention from ordinary DWP staff. Fortunately it's not the sort of payment that requires constant reauthorisation. It's for life, once set in motion.
My tax affairs are handled differently - they've transferred me to a special tax office, for the attention of special staff. That seems a better way.
This blog is public, and I expect comments from many sources and points of view. They will be welcome if sincere, well-expressed and add something worthwhile to the post. If not, they face removal.
Ideally I want to hear from bloggers, who, like myself, are knowable as real people and can be contacted. Anyone whose identity is questionable or impossible to verify may have their comments removed. Commercially-inspired comments will certainly be deleted - I do not allow free advertising.
Whoever you are, if you wish to make a private comment, rather than a public one, then do consider emailing me - see my Blogger Profile for the address.

My mate Richard in Lviv has just told me about FOUR agricultural shows on in Kiev this week! Apparently some are a result of arguments between the organisers.
Farmers have a choice of:
Thursday - Quality and Safety of Milk at Expo, Nivka
Thursday - Dutch Technology for Milk at Brovary Prospect 15
Thursday to Saturday - Zloty Osin (Golden Autumn) at VDNH
Friday to Sunday - Zloty Osin (Golden Autumn) at Chubinski
What's the collective noun for agricultural shows? A herd? A clutch?

If you are desiring to know the life of two Franciscan Sisters reflecting on lives of ministry, community, and simplicity, you will want to watch for future postings of PastorallyPondering.
Sister Pamela Biehl and Sister Regina Rose Pearson share about their experiences at St. Mary Parish, Winneconne, WI and St. Mary Parish, Omro, WI, as well as their lives at Visitation Convent, Oshkosh, WI and beyond. Here's a tidbit from their 2 latest posts.
October 6, 2014
Tom Douglas, renowned Seattle chef, says " Cooks throw recipes and menus together and scramble for virtuosity while bakers carefully measure their way to deliciousness." How right he is! However, the presence of both a cook and a baker in our compact kitchen has inspired Sr. Pam and I to take up the challenge of creating fabulous feasts for friends and family- the parish one, that is.

September 15, 2014
After two months in a new place and with all our boxes neatly stowed or secretly stashed away, we (Sister Pam Biehl and I, Sister Regina Rose Pearson) decided that now would be our best chance of introducing everyone to the new convent on the block. Visitation Convent , on a quiet corner just off Hwy 41 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, is the site of a new adventure which, so far, has been loaded with new people, new routines, and new reasons to laugh. And trust me, there is plenty of fun and laughter! It seems that our philosophy of life is going to be work hard, play hard! Read more.

Update On Discussions With AOT Group
On 2 September 2015, Helloworld Limited (ASX:HLO) confirmed that it was in discussions with AOT Group Limited (AOT) regarding the potential acquisition of AOT by HLO.
HLO has been unable to reach agreement with the AOT shareholders on acceptable terms and as a result has terminated discussions with immediate effect. The terms of the transaction would have resulted in the vendors of AOT becoming significant minority shareholders in HLO. The Board of HLO has unanimously concluded that the strategic and financial merits of the acquisition on the terms proposed were insufficiently compelling to warrant proceeding with the transaction.
HLO remains focused on its existing strategy and is making strong progress to future proof its business and drive returns for shareholders, agents, industry partners and consumers
The search process for appointing a new CEO is ongoing and HLO will update the market in due course.

Unpacking the tax implications in the Nepi-Rockcastle merger
Shareholders need to consider their share swap options following the approval of the property mega-merger
This week's dual listing on the JSE and Euronext Amsterdam of newly merged Nepi Rockcastle Plc — now the JSE's largest property stock with a market cap of about R93bn — will create plenty of upside for both sets of shareholders.
However, the deal has significant tax implications for SA investors. Individual shareholders of the two Central and Eastern Europe-focused rand-hedge counters will be particularly hard hit — some more than others, depending on how they choose to receive their share allocation in the merged entity.
The deal doesn't have immediate adverse tax implications for shares held in the name of a company or pension fund.
Java Capital director Andrew Brooking, Nepi Rockcastle's corporate adviser and JSE sponsor, says there was unfortunately no way to implement the merger without triggering a tax cost for individual shareholders.
"Because this is a merger between two offshore companies, someone was always going to pay tax," says Brooking.
SA's taxation laws, he notes, don't yet allow for a roll-over of tax incurred when foreign, inward-listed companies conclude share swap deals. The tax implications for Nepi Rockcastle shareholders also relate to the merger mechanism, which will result in the creation of a new, third company that acquires the combined businesses, assets and liabilities of Nepi and Rockcastle.
The merger is a share-for-share transaction in terms of which Nepi and Rockcastle shareholders have to sell their existing shares to receive shares of the same value in the new company, with the option of receiving the new shares as a return of capital or a dividend. Brooking says the deal is further complicated by the fact that the two existing companies are registered in different jurisdictions, governed by different laws — Nepi in the Isle of Man and Rockcastle in Mauritius.
"It's a complex transaction that has taken
us many months to structure in a way that ensures maximum flexibility for all shareholders," he says.
Nepi and Rockcastle shareholders have until July 14 to exercise their choice on how they want to receive the shares they are entitled to in the new company.
Rockcastle shareholders have two options to receive their shares pursuant to a distribution in specie as a dividend, or a distribution in specie as a return of capital.
In addition to these two options, Nepi shareholders have a third choice: to have Nepi repurchase all their shares.
Interestingly, the default option for shareholders who take no action by July 14 will differ for Nepi and Rockcastle investors. Rockcastle's shareholders who don't exercise their choice will automatically receive their shares pursuant to a dividend, while Nepi shareholders will receive their shares pursuant to a return of capital.
Again, the differences in default options are mainly
due to different legal implications in Mauritius and the Isle of Man, and differences in the makeup of the companies' share registers.
The default procedure is particularly relevant to individual Rockcastle shareholders, as the dividend option will almost certainly incur a higher tax cost than the return of capital option, says Brooking. "It's important that individual investors do their own calculations, but we believe Nepi and Rockcastle individual shareholders will be better off taking the return of capital option, even if [they] paid close to nothing for [their] shares and are taxed at the maximum personal rate of 45%."
The dividend option in the hands of an SA individual shareholder is taxed as follows: the dividend is subject to income tax, with a portion of the dividend being exempt from income tax. This portion is worked out by applying a 25/45 ratio to the dividend.
Accordingly, 25/45 (approximately 55%) of the dividend will be exempt from income tax, with the balance being taxed at the shareholder's applicable income tax rate. For example, an individual who is subject to the maximum income tax rate of 45% and who has a dividend amounting to R100,000 will be taxed at R20,000, an effective tax rate of 20% (R100,000 less R55,555.56 = R44,444.44 x 45%).
If the individual is subject to a lower tax rate, then the effective tax rate will be lower (see the tables). However, there is no deduction of the price that an individual shareholder paid when he or she originally bought the shares.
Though the maximum 20% rate is equivalent to the JSE's dividend withholding tax rate, Brooking says the cost for shareholders who opt to receive their shares as a dividend will be raised as personal income tax.
So individual shareholders who choose the dividend option, whether they own shares in Nepi, Rockcastle or both, will need to account for the tax cost in their annual income tax returns for the year ending February 2018.
In contrast, the return of capital option will incur capital gains tax (CGT) and not personal income tax (assuming the shareholder holds the shares as capital assets). Here, the amount owed to Sars depends on the base cost of your shares, as well as your personal tax rate.
The cost will be 40% of your capital gain (the difference between the base cost and current value of your shares), taxed at your personal income tax rate.
If one uses the example of shares worth R100,000 — and assuming you paid R50,000 for your shares a few years ago and your personal tax rate is 45% — your CGT cost comes to R9,000 (40% of R50,000 = R20,000 x 45%).
That's less than half the R20,000 you will owe Sars if you choose the dividend option. Of course, if you bought your shares at a much lower cost, your gain will be higher and so will your tax liability, and vice versa.
Brooking doesn't expect many Nepi investors will choose to receive their shares via the third option — namely, to sell all their shares to Nepi — as doing so will trigger securities transfer tax. That will mean an additional cost of 0.25% of the total share value on top of the CGT liability.
Nepi Rockcastle will release the results of shareholder elections early next week.

On Spotting The Rubes…
An interesting occurrence yesterday that coincided nicely with this observation was the release of a new poll conducted by Research 2000. The poll, commissioned by Daily Kos, asked over 2000 self-labeled Republicans for their thoughts on some of the more, uh-um, questionable ideas being pitched by most of the loud Barkers on the right. Needless to say, it was a revealing list of statistics. Here are a few of the nuttier ones..
- 63% think Barack Obama is a socialist, 16% are unsure.
- 36% do not think Obama was born in the U.S., 22% are unsure.
- 55% are not sure if ACORN stole the presidential election in 2008, 21% are sure of it.
- 77% think public schools should teach bible stories instead of science, only 7% unsure on this one.
- 23% think their state should secede from the U.S., 19% are unsure. (My personal favorite)
That's just five of them, there are 25 questions total. Check out the cross tabs and demographics. Fascinating, in a morbid and disgusting sort of way.
So how do you spot a Rube? Well I can say without a doubt that anyone who believes any of the ideas listed above is an absolute Rube. They have swallowed, hook line and sinker, everything the Barkers have fed them. Everything. These are the folks that join Amway, and send their bank account numbers to Nigerian princes (or televangelists). Absolute gullibility.
Do you want to know what they won't believe though, no matter what? The truth. You can demonstrate without a doubt that they have been fed a line of bullshit, and they will never believe it. That's how you spot a Rube. They will never believe that everything they've been told by the Carnival Barkers like Beck, Limbaugh, and O'Reilly is absolute nonsense, because if it doesn't fit into their shallow, ignorant, and repressed worldview, or feed on their fears and prejudices, they cannot accept it. They are Rubes.

This councilwoman is the daughter of a former Navajo Chairman Peter MacDonald. He is a relative of my grandmother's and was sent to prison for taking kickbacks. Others contend that it was his desire to demand proper payment for energy resources and to end mineral rights giveaways by the BIA to corporations that led to his targeting by the U.S. government. Probably, a little of both.
ICT [2006/07/10] Navajo councilwoman challenges Congress over relocation bill>
"TUBA CITY, Ariz. - Speaking out against the Navajo Hopi Land Settlement Act of 2005, known also as Senate Bill 1003, Navajo councilman Hope MacDonald-LoneTree said the U.S. government is treating Navajos the same way Iraqi are treated, with disregard to rebuilding nations that have been devastated.
''The job ahead is bigger than trying to rebuild Iraq after bombing the entire infrastructure and disrupting their way of life. The federal government cannot just walk off and complain about the amount of federal monies expended,'' said LoneTree, Navajo council delegate for Tuba City and daughter of former Navajo Chairman Peter MacDonald.
''Money can be recouped, but lives lost and ruination of lives is far more devastating and morally wrong and cannot be recouped. The government needs to apologize and fix the mess they created,'' LoneTree told Indian Country Today. She said a study is necessary to determine exactly where funds should and need to go.
Sponsored by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the bill would bring about the closure of the Office of Navajo and Hopi Indian Relocation.
Even after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, LoneTree said, residents were given the opportunity of a study to determine the damages and needs.
Further, she said U.S. congressmen should visit Navajo families in the affected area and see what misery Navajos have been forced to live with.
''I can't imagine anyone who would be so heartless to sponsor such a bill and yet not visit these areas and people to see the devastation they have endured for years. As well, those who are supporting this bill are not willing to have a study done to show the negative affects on the region and people. Even after Hiroshima, a study was made to avoid similar human tragedy.''
LoneTree said congressmen have dealt recklessly with the lives of people about whom they know little or nothing.

I love a Strong, sweet scent. For years I have searched for perfume that didn't trigger a migraine and most importantly, smelt good enough for me to want to wear it alone, with just a smile for a special someone ;).
Dior perfumes have been a staple in my life; I have many memories of watching my mum get ready for a special occasion and recall the scent of Midnight Poison being sprayed. As a little child I would risk a beating to spray some on and whilst working abroad, I would always counter my homesickness by seeking out a bottle if I couldn't speak to my mum. It was during my first trip to Stratford Westfield that I popped into a perfume shop and decided to reminisce, eventually spraying the two red Poison's on each wrist. Initially I opted for Poison, but I found myself drawn to the wrist where I had sprayed Hypnotic Poison. I could not believe that is was the same perfume I had discounted for smelling like like root beer. It passed the Hubby test - he made clear his appreciation and I promptly went back made a purchase.
The smell
A good perfume is one that adapts to the natural chemicals of it's host and still retains structure throughout the day. In my opinion Hypnotic Poison has three stages: root beer - flat oriental vanilla / almond - deliciously seductive rich and sweet scent.
Dior's Blurb:
The mystery of Dior's legendary forbidden fruit lives on in a magical, modern philter that blends femininity with boldness. Four contrasting facets – intoxicating bitter almond and carvi, opulent Sambac jasmine, mysterious Jacarandra and sensuous vanilla and musk– make for a compelling, bewitching fragrance fusion. Intoxicating and extravagant.
What scent do you love?

All my life I've wanted to learn how to tat. It is really a lost art. My grandfather tatted baby clothes for my mother when she was a baby, and it was beautiful work! My husband has a cousin who tats, but Idaho is too far to go for her to teach me.
A couple of years ago, I found an older woman in our ward (church congregation) who tats. Now that I'm not working, I finally have the time to learn. I spent two hours the other day with her for my first tatting lesson. I was thrilled that she was willing to teach me. She is blind, which makes it even more intimidating for me -- if she can do it without sight, I should be able to do this. Right???
This is not easy stuff! After 1 1/2 hours working with tatting thread (which is very fine), she told me that I needed to go home and practice on bigger thread. I pulled out some crochet thread which is much larger, and I've been practicing all week with that. Once I figured out how to do the stitches, it was a matter of perfecting the stitches so they are even and pretty. Tonight I went back to the tatting thread. I'm getting it -- but this is going to be a LOT of work!
May I just say that this would have been easier had I learned how to do this before arthritis set in? My fingers don't bend the way they used to, and they cramp up too!
I will do this! I think I can, I think I can, I think I can! Toot! Toot!

Happy Birthday Sgt. Slaughter!
Robert Remus (born August 27, 1948) is an American former WWE personality, and semi-retired professional wrestler better known by the ring name Sgt. Slaughter. From the late 1970s to the early 1990s, Slaughter had success in the National Wrestling Alliance, American Wrestling Association, and World Wrestling Federation. He was my all time favorite Wrestler in the 70's and 80's. He made sure that everyone loved the good Ol' USA! Here is an old 80's video of when Sgt. Slaughter was doing a promo with Rodney Rod Piper. This is when Wresting was fucking awesome to watch!
2 comments:
He was very entertaining. In the Air Force I used to know a Sgt. Slaughter and I always would give him the Macho Man wrestling voice ("ewww...I'mmmm gonna get yoooooou", that type of shit), he was never to amused but the others were.ReplyDelete
Nice Robotman, only a true burnout would do something like that to a Sergeant! Nice Job Malanga!ReplyDelete

My solicitor....actually, he's not my solicitor, he's just a solicitor that I'm paying fucking stupid money to take the Lettings Agency to court....is taking the piss with me. I get the feeling that he's purposely delaying things, or double/triple/quadruple checking things with me, in order to slow the whole process down. After all, I'm paying him stupid amounts of money per hour, plus VAT to help me with my case. Why on earth would he be in any kind of rush.
After our initial discussion back in December, and his subsequent taking on of my case, I now find myself at the point where we can actually take the Lettings Agency to court over breach of contract on many , many levels.
It's been a long, long road so far. And a very expensive one.
I may not win the case.
Or I may win the case, but not actually get any money from the Lettings Agency. All they have to do is plead poverty or bankruptcy. Then, they can set themselves up as a new Business under a different name and carry on trading as normal. As if nothing ever happened. It doesn't seem right to me. Bu then, I am but a tiny, insignificant person when it comes to the world of Business and Money and Power.

Gurus have written many books on how to lead but you don't really get it until you see the phenomenon in action: the good and the bad. I recently took part in a think-tank session which asked participants to come up with a list of words which we think are most important when conducting business conscientiously. There were the typical words such as respect, integrity, accountability but these other words were overlooked: emotional intelligence and courage. Of the list of leaderships behaviors industry experts state are critical when leading in crisis recovery, I think these are just as critical.
Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence is the capacity for self-awareness, motivation, self-regulation, empathy, and adeptness in relationships. Emotional intelligence is essential in a recovery because stress, distrust, paranoia, and lack of confidence are prevalent. The leader will need to understand these emotions and offer an empathetic response and honest answers in order to calm fears, create a supportive environment, and to motivate people.
Courage is often hard to find when an organization experiences distress. Courage is necessary to deliver bad news. It may be tempting to wait for the "right time" to address a problem, but there never is a "right time" in a distressed situation. Courage is also necessary to propose and take bold actions. This may even include going outside of normal "best practices".
As Jesse Cagle once wrote of Lois Smith (legendary hollywood agent), "there are some examples of leadership which say loudly and clearly, it is possible to do a tough job, and do it better than anyone, with the most generous spirit."

Moteur électrique
What I was most interested in seeing at the Montreal International Auto Show was the hybrid and electric cars. There was little news and when I asked questions I was anwsered mostly with "maybe in 2009-2011" by major car makers.
The picture shows an electric engine/generator module by our very own Hydro-Québec through their subsidiary TM4 . The module is intended to power electric cars, but most of the clients are european apparently.
Campagna, another local company, had an electric version of their T-Rex on display, named La Silence. They certainly make some of the craziest vehicles out there.
There was also a ZENN (Zero emission, No Noise) car by ZENN Motor Company (formelly Feel Good Cars) on display. For people living in the city, this looks like a very good solution, particularly if they get the EEStor upgrade.
I would have liked to see the Wrightspeed X1 or the new Lotus-bodied Tesla Roadster, but they sadly weren't at the show. Both of these are pure electric cars that can do 0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) in around 4 seconds, besting Ferraris and Porches.
Toyota does apparently intend hybrids to be 80% of their sales by 2010 according to a saleswoman, yet they mostly had large vehicles like SUVs and pick-ups in their booth. That left a somewhat bad taste in my mouth.
On their side GM were touting their own hybrids, but as far as I could see, none were half as economic as my non-hybrid Toyota Echo Hatchback. (Now known worldwide as the Yaris.)
My lease expires in 3,5 years, and I'm still hoping for a decent electric option, or at least a plugable hybrid.

I can not believe it. It is one week until Christmas and I was so confident a week ago that I had everything under control, yes I was like a peacock with all my feathers out strutting my stuff thinking yeah I am ready for the festive season and NOW!!!!! It is one week to go and my house looks like I have been burgled I have a guest coming over to stay for a couple of days so I better get my skates on and finish the cleaning and tidying up.
Today I will be like a woman on crack, cleaning; going to do the dreaded food shopping and to find the last of the gifts and if by any miracle I have time I need to bake a mammoth amount of Christmas biscuits to give to our love ones all these with 3 kids in tow.
Why and how I thought last week I was under control, I was like a cool cucumber I think I was delusional, anyhow at least the house looks festive, the Christmas tree is up, the roses are blooming and once my wonderful friend the Country Lady and her munchkins arrive I will be able to put my feet up and enjoy a glass or two of bubbles and watch five children five and under in age destroy all the amazing cleaning I will be doing today.
At least I will be drunk………………

The Scene
I was hoping something magical might happen today. Say, a unicorn sighting. Or...I don't know...perhaps an avalanche of NY Fashion Week invitations that had gotten lost in the mail...
Feels like every blogger and their mama (literally in some cases!) is going to be in New York for Fashion's Night Out or Fashion Week. Here are the blogosphere glitteratti you can expect to be in attendance:

Who What Wear Daily
Pretty much everyone except me.
But don't cry for me, Aregentina. I had my day in the Bryant Park tents. Watched DVF Spring 2007. From the director's booth, no less.
Jean Bean knew somebody. Jean Bean knows everybody.
The Outfit

Paired it with brown and neutrals to make it work appropriate (read: boring.)
Drooling for a sleeved DVF blouse for Fall
And a pompom hat.
It might be the new headband.

In order for you to have the best possible yoga experience, it is important to learn, understand, apply and respect the principles that goes with yoga. For us, yoga etiquette (as we like to call it) involves being aware of others and contributing to the greater good i.e. "Are my actions negatively impacting others in the class?" If you feel that your actions may be deterring others from having a harmonious time in the class, then it is important to adjust your actions accordingly.
To make it easier for you, we have broken down the most essential yoga etiquette behaviours that you should follow in a yoga class.
Make sure to arrive 15 minutes earlier so that classes can start on the scheduled time. There is nothing worse than trying to concentrate on your practice and late comers disrupt your train of thought – be sincere and be on time.
There is no need for shoes in the studio. Bare feet grip the mat better so kindly leave your shoes at the entrance of the studio.
If you have any injuries or medical conditions, please inform your instructor. Yoga instructors may have an alternative pose for those suffering from knee injuries, back injuries and so on.
Wear appropriate yoga clothing that can absorb sweat. Make sure your clothes are comfortable and allow you to move with ease as some poses may mean squatting and stretching. Feel welcome to bring a set of clothes to change afterwards.
Don't eat a big meal before practice and come well hydrated – water can be purchased from our Tree Cafe. We advise that you don't do exercise until one to two hours after eating (depending on the size of the meal).
Make sure your cellphone and electronic devices are switched off. A ringing phone in class is distracting not only to you, but to your fellow yogis and instructor who are concentrating on their own growth in the practice.
Don't wear fragrances to class. Smells and sounds are distracting to others – always be mindful of others and rather experience the natural essence of the yoga studio than bringing in artificial fragrances.
Remain in the studio for the whole duration of the class. If you really need to leave earlier, arrange so with your instructor before the class or find a spot near the exit so you can leave without too much distraction to the class.
No talking in the studio. Respect your fellow yogis who may be using the time to meditate and deepen their spiritual practice. Rather talk (softly) before and after classes.
For the best Tree Natural Yoga experience, we encourage people to stay in Savasana, the final relaxation pose for a while after class. This will ensure that you leave the class in a relaxed and renewed state.
Yoga etiquette is simply about showing every day respect in a different setting – the principles of the yoga class are not there to make you feel like you are being policed, but rather there to make you more aware of others. If you are looking for a new yoga studio to join, consider Tree Natural Concept in Durban. Alternatively, visit our Health Food Store and take advantage of the fresh organic produce.
Come visit our health and natural café in durban.
Come enjoy a delicious and healthy meal at the Tree Natural Cafe in Umhlanga or Ballito. We have a menu full of breakfast and light lunch goodness.
Shop at our health store where you can find locally sourced, fresh and organic produce. Our stores are located in both Umhlanga and Ballito.
Nourish the mind and body in one of our Tree Yoga classes in Umhlanga. Our instructors are expertly trained to help you reach your physical goals.

Just goes to show you the double standard in have in our American society. Show some respect and get rid of the derogatory words that you supposedly hate and that white people supposedly love to use on you. It's sad really because I don't see Rev Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson protesting this video of white people getting shot at. In fact where is the Liberal Media when you need them when it comes these type of hatred and violence. I mean I thought they care enough to try to stop this kind of mindless violence. Listen folks we like in a hypcritcal country. I guess a certain group of people are not to say certain words against a race who loves to use those words on themselves. Truly a sad state that our country is in.

State Department has approved the possible sale of a THAAD anti-missile defense system to Saudi Arabia at an estimated cost of $15 billion, the Pentagon said on Friday, citing Iran among regional threats. The approval opens the way for Saudi Arabia to purchase 44 Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) launchers and 360 missiles, as well as fire control stations and radars. "This sale furthers U.S. national security and foreign policy interests, and supports the long-term security of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region in the face of Iranian and other regional threats," the Pentagon's Defense Security Cooperation agency said in a statement.

We just don't operate on an 80-percent margin, sometimes more, to inflate the price to our customers." Speaking to McMillan about his upstart company, it's clear he's not a designer by any means but instead, a savvy, practical businessman with a huge heart. He has a team of designers (all local Chicagoans), and often consults his wife when creating a new cut or wash for the women's line. Dearborn Denim currently offers black high-rise skinny jeans, a straight-leg dark wash, and a skinny high-rise medium wash. Soon it'll launch a boyfriend-fit for women. Every pair of jeans can be tailored to the customer's measurements and each comes stitched with Dearborn's down-home label: a single star to represent the city flag of Chicago. Though the company and McMillian's aesthetic is certainly more practical and simplistic than most denim labels making the big bucks right now, he's already attracting a sartorially savvy clientele. In fact, McMillan has received the seal of approval from Chicago's grand dame of high fashion, Ikram Goldman—she told Vogue editors that she was a big fan of the jeans and their tremendous fit. Despite the endorsement, don't expect to see Dearborn Denim on any It-girl Instagrams or celebrities anytime soon. McMillan wants to grow the business slowly, organically, and with as much integrity as possible. As he explains, "We haven't done a lot of influencer marketing and we don't have deep pockets for endorsement deals." However, that doesn't mean he isn't thinking of the ultimate dream customer: "When I first opened up shop, I wrote a letter to Michelle Obama , First Lady of Chicago and Hyde Park local, but I haven't heard back yet.

Skip to comments.Fort Hood suspect's lawyers discuss jury screening [Major Nidal Hasan]
Posted on 07/06/2012 5:25:33 PM PDT by SandRat
Defense Lawyers are trying corrupt the trail process.
(Excerpt) Read more at svherald.com ...
trial, not trail
Shouldn't even be the need for a trial. He should be shot in the street outside the court house.
Hasan can't get a fair trial down there in Ft Hood. Gotta move the proceedings to Dearborn, Michigan — a more neutral, unbiased location.....('
This is not a case of murder. It never has been. This was the act of terrorism by a traitor. If they want to play games of courts and 'justice', then give him the orange suit and a plane ride to Gitmo. Try him for treason there, then hang him.
Don't force 12 officers who have sworn to defend this nation from the likes of him to sit in judgment, to listen day in and day out as he breathes, and his fellow soldiers rest in their graves from his traitorous act. There's no chance of innocence - he shot and killed uniforms. He wasn't targeting anyone specific, nor a specific group. Simply going after fellow soldiers with guns, in a place he knew they would be unarmed.
The defense will certainly do its best to exclude any officer who's served in Iraq *or* Afghanistan,that's for sure.I've been out for a long time and never ran afoul of the UCMJ so I know little about courts martial but isn't a unanimous verdict required to pass down a death sentence?
A firing squad, not a jury. Kill him.
Should be the guest of dishonor at a Texas Necktie Party.
In 20+ years serice I servered on 3 Generel Cours Martial Boards.
A General Courts Martial Board, for Death to be handed down, must all vote yes.
Seems to me that the defense would be best served by using an insanity defense.One could argue that there are certain brain injuries/disorders that might cause one to commit such an act but might absolve one of moral and/or legal responsibility.
And no,I'm not saying that's the case here.If I was on the panel the only way I'd even *consider* an insanity plea is to see an obviously abnormal brain scan or irrefutable evidence of some sort of major head trauma,etc.
No jurors required.
A six man firing squad will do fine.
Any JAG oficers here? I didn't think there was jury screening, except actual conflict of interest, in picking a military Court. There is no jury per se, in a military trial, there is "The Court", a panel of officers (and enlisted if the defendant is enlisted and requests enlisted members, which most wisely do not) They are appointed by the convening authority, and are on special orders. The judge is there to advise the Court on the law. The head of the Court, that is the senior officer on the panel, is in charge of the proceedings.
Forget what you've seen on "A Few Good Men", or any Hollywood representation of a civilian court. Military trials/courts are different than real civilian courts/trials, and even more different from the Movie/TV versions of those.
I don't understand why they didn't forcibly shave Hassan, and cut his hair to be within military regulations. He is still a Major in the US Army and thus still subject to military discipline. In fact he's supposed to appear in court wearing the appropriate uniform.
Fair Trial in Texas?
Of course we can.
Let The State of Texas try him for a civilian death. Problem solved. We will save the nation a lot of BS.
hussein's buddy
Even if the charge were treason, as it should be, there would still be a trail.
Military courts are not so large as civilian juries, so I doubt there would 12 officers on the panel. Five is the minimum number for a General Court. One murder trial I just looked up had 8 members, and that may have been larger than usual, since the defendant was a Marine Corporal, and had 4 officers, two warrant officers and two enlisted members on the Court.
I was wrong about screening the members of the panel, the process is similar to the civilian courts, including pre-emptory challenges. One each for the prosecution and defense. The Judge will have to decide on an individual basis. As to a 'change of venue", the members of the Court are supposed to be from the same command as the convening authority, and the accused.
But either treason or just murder, the dirt bag will be found guilty. Unfortunately we've given up the noose and even the firing squad.. leaving the Needle. That's too good for Hassan, but that's what he'll get.
I'd serve on a firing squad, but I'd have to stand in line for the honor. I'd even supply my own rifle and ammunition.. I have plenty.
I came accross an old army manual for executions. Really too bad we don't do the rope or rifle thing anymore.

I'll just sleep on the floor....
Scott let me sleep in this morning, so when I came downstairs {at 10 AM, lol} this is what I found on the playroom floor. Poor guy. It's tough to play so hard.
Carter's crib was recalled recently. At the end of April. I got an email from Babies R Us because it was on my registry so people could see the pictures of it {I certainly didn't expect anyone to buy something that expensive}. Thank goodness it was on there or I'd never have known it was recalled! Anyway, so it had to be returned {which involved Mr. D dismanteling it. Yikes!} and now we have to get a new one. I didn't find one in the store that I liked, so Carter is sleeping in his pack n' play until I find one. I shopped around via internet and I'd found a couple that I liked {and some that I LOVED but can't justify spending that much money on for a child who's already a toddler}.
Anyway, here's the one we had that was little boy perfect! It was pretty, but not "girly" and it was sturdy and solid. It matched the dresser/hutch we have in there perfectly and was EXACTLY what I was looking for when I was preggo. Sadly, there's an issue with the mattress support and it was recalled {almost 2 years after I bought it. UGH!}.
I ♥ you old crib!!
I've looked at different cribs, but I just love this style. It's so perfect for a boy and converts to a toddler bed, then a full size bed. And I like the way it looks in the conversion, too. The front and back become the headboard and footboard of the bed and you buy a conversion kit to modify the rest. So imagine my delight, when I found THIS ONE!
It's practically the same crib. And it converts, too!! AND, it's slightly cheaper than what we paid for the first one originally!!! It's got a spring mattress support {instead of the metal poles that were faulty in the previous one} so no worries about having to return it later. I have to order it online, but shipping is FREE, so who freakin' cares?! {Happy Dance}
Crib replacement... SUCCESS!!

Well, when running the command - sudo update-apt-xapian-index on Lubuntu 12.04 to make Synaptic (it rocks) list packages from 3rd party repos I got the following error:
sudo: update-apt-xapian-index: command not found - Lubuntu 12.04
The reason is quite simple - the package apt-xapian-index turned out to be not install (nice). Which is why all you have to do is to install it:
sudo apt-get install apt-xapian-index
And then rebuild the xapian index again (run the initial command). That's it. Synaptic is now fully usable.

Tonight my dad and I went to downtown Valencia for our last night out together.
We ate at Orio for some pintxos and a drink first.
It's a chain restaurant that serves basque food, and my mom, dad and I ate at the same restaurant in Barcelona when they visited me in Spain in 2010.
After a few (one of which had caviar...ooh la la!), Dad had me ask the waitress to ask where the happening part of town is, fully knowing that there wouldn't be much since it was a Wednesday night.
So I asked her where the bullicio was. She was like "huh?" and so I found another way to ask where the action was. She gave us the answer and she walked away.
Her confusion made me think that I said a really strange word, like the time I asked for sideburns (patillas) when I was trying to buy rollerblades (patines).
But I just looked up bullicio. And it means just what I thought it meant: hustle and bustle.
I'm just gonna chalk this confusion up to me knowing more Spanish than the Spaniard did.

Freezer Lasagna for Two
Tonight I'm posting something unlike anything I've posted in the last 10 months. You see, as most of you know I have been a vegetarian for almost a year, meaning the recipes containing meat on Espresso and Cream have all but disappeared. What hasn't changed during this time is Joey's love for beef, chicken, pork and the like.
Most of the time when we're together, we find some sort of compromise. When we eat out, the places we frequent are those with options that are both friendly to my diet and appealing to him. Ethnic restaurants are great for that very reason. And when I cook for us, meat is usually a side-dish to whatever meal we are having. A few grilled chicken breasts here, some meat sauce there, a veggie burger for me - a real burger for him.
Fact: During our marriage counseling, when asked what type of food we would be eating as a married couple Joey responded (on his own prompting) "flexitarian." I was so proud.
So even though I may not be eating meat, it is most certainly being consumed by the man I love. That said, I thought that for my upcoming trip I'd fix him something special to keep in the freezer on the nights I'm not around. So, my friends, I give you Freezer Lasagna for Two (aka: Lasagna for Bachelors, Fiancées, and Helpless Husbands).
Freezer Lasagna for Two
(Printable Recipe)
*1 tablespoon olive oil
*2 shallots, chopped
*2 cloves garlic, minced
*1 lb. ground pork or beef
*1 tsp. Italian seasoning
*Salt and ground black pepper
*6 no-boil lasagna noodles
*1 (15-oz.) container whole milk ricotta cheese
*1 large egg, lightly beaten
*1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
*1 1/2 to 2 cups marinara sauce
*2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
*Chopped fresh tomatoes (optional)
*In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add in the shallots and garlic. Cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add in ground pork or beef and cook until browned, stirring frequently and breaking into small pieces. Remove from heat and stir in the Italian seasoning. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
*Lightly grease three miniature disposable loaf pans. Place 1 no-boil lasagna noodle in the bottom of each pan.
*In a small bowl, stir together the ricotta cheese and egg until well combined. Spread some of the ricotta mixture atop each of the noodles in a thin even layer, followed by some of the zucchini, marinara sauce, pork mixture and cheese. Repeat with remaining ingredients one more time.
*At this point, you can either cover the lasagnas with aluminum foil and freeze until ready to use. Or, preheat the oven to 375°F and bake for 30 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and lasagna noodles are soft. Top with fresh tomatoes, if desired.
*If you do decide to freeze the lasagnas, thaw them in the refrigerator before use and cook as instructed above.
Happy Cooking!

LOL! I love his flexitarian response! Very original! I love all of your recipes! And I wish I was a veg too! I went two years with no cow or pig...but after hearing all of the complaining from other people, I eventually gave back in. I admire you!!!!
Hope you become a follower,

This is a great idea! It is so nice that both of you are compromising on the issue, rather than holding onto 1 extreme.

Love the look of this recipe - and I'm needing to stock up on ideas for when I'm not around to cook for the hubs (he's a little helpless!) Thanks Madison!
ps. I agree with Lauren too - it's awesome that you both are compromising on the issue. You're miles ahead of some married couples. :)

I'm so glad to see this post! My hubby and I have to compromise at meal time too; so glad to see this impacts other couples. :) I'm totally stealing "flexitarian"; great way to describe it.

You are a sweet fiance! I am also a vegetarian and my hubby is a omnivore. He know that because of ethical reasons I will not cook meat. If he wants meat he can cook it himself or order a meat dish at a restaurant or when we order food in. He is actually loving our vegetarian dinner together. And he has also accepted the fact that when we do have kids... they will also be vegetarian until they are old enough to make a rational decision for themselves.

- Tanja @ Postmodern Hostess said...
I'm super impressed! Back when I was veg, I didn't want meat anywhere near my kitchen, let alone touch it and cook it! (Though I will confess that I did once cook chicken for my little dogs -- but I wore a dust mask and goggles to cook it. I kid you not!)
Such a testament to your love. :-)

Wilderlands Age of Worms
Knowledge: Religion DC 15
Centuries ago, Angall was an evil and very powerful wizard of considerable lust and greed. In his constant quest for power unlimited, he invoked the dark spirits of an alternate universe to do his bidding. As wealth, power, servants, and slaves accumulated, Angall became ever more perverse and some suspected that he was falling prey to the very spirits that he commanded. After several decades, when Angall's powers seemed to reach a new zenith, Zanaaphic the All-King of the Spirit Universe led an army to confront Angall. A battle took place that opened fissures and rifts in the countryside surrounding Angall's stronghold. Zanaaphic was defeated at the end of the six-day battle. In winning the struggle, however, Angall lost his humanity and underwent a change, which has endured until this day. He is now depicted as an 11-foot tall humanoid with bat-like wings and four huge arms. His altered body is covered with thick dragon-like scales and scar tissue. Although many clerics believe him a false god or demigod, evil cultists, wizards, and humanoids (particularly goblins) worship Angall as a Chaotic Evil god representing the chaos, power, and secret knowledge contained in the empty Void (astral plane) that surrounds the Prime. His domains are Chaos, Evil, Knowledge, Magic, and Strength.
Knowledge: Religion DC 25
In life, Angall was a wizard and advisor to one of the last kings of ancient Kelnore and a follower of Hecate, Goddess of Magic. In his lust and greed for even greater mystic power, Angall turned to necromancy and the study of the forbidden lore of alien Elder Gods. As the Kelnoran Empire fell, Angall fled into the deep south, taking with him a small group of fiercely loyal followers. There, they established a hidden city and Angall immersed himself further in the black arts, ultimately discovering some great dark ritual of those horrific Elder Gods whose secrets are, thankfully, lost to time. Some scholars suggest Angall was aided in his discoveries by Demon Princes from even farther south or by the last remnants of the evil Markrabs and their Shadow servants. Whatever the case, Angall began preparation for some atrocious rite that he believed would bring him ultimate power, but doom all the Wilderlands to some unspecified, horrible fate.
The Goddess Hecate, angered that Angall had turned from her worship to that of older, even more evil deities, passed word of Angall's plans to the forces of good. As Angall's preparations grew toward completion, an army of elves and eladrin, led by Zanaaphic the All-King of the Spirit Universe marched on Angall's hidden city. As Angall's followers attempted to complete the ritual, Zanaaphic assaulted the mad wizard himself. In the ensuing battle Zanaaphic tore Angall's arms from his body in an effort to prevent spellcasting. Angall's followers, however, diverted the energy of their dark ritual from its intended, unknown purpose into their embattled leader, gruesomely sacrificing their own lives to empower Angall. The wizard's form was changed and he sprouted four new arms and terrible wings. Angall used his newfound martial prowess to fell Zanaaphic, but at the end of the battle there was no remaining sign of Angall and his followers lay dead.
Although presumably Zanaaphic's intervention prevented Angall's ritual from spreading evil across the Wilderlands, the Cult of Angall today insists that the wizard achieved his ultimate goal, ascending to godhood and living on in the Perpetual Void beyond the Prime. Followers of Angall seek to emulate his example, seeking out forbidden knowledge to empower themselves, without regard to the cost to civilization.
The sage Eligos has theorized that the rituals that led to Angall's ascension involved the power of an obscure deity known as Yog-Sothoth, God of the Outer Darkness. The Archmage Manzorian has provided even more information about Angall's ascension, including that it took place at Kuluth-Mar.

The first thing we did was buy almost 80 bales of alfalfa hay. We were lucky enough to get some second cutting hay. This wasn't a great year for hay in our area, so we feel fortunate that we were able to get this hay. We'll probably try to get a few more bales before too long. We don't mind having a little extra.
We stacked the hay bales on pallets to keep it on the floor. I admit, I love the smell of good hay.
Since the goats will be kidding in March, we're also constructing a pen in the barn for them. We'll bring the goats in at night during the colder parts of winter, and keep them in there closer to their kidding dates. I need to get a baby monitor to make sure we can catch the kids as we will be practicing CAE prevention with our goats and their kids.
We are also in the process of winterizing the goat shed. We cleaned out the old bedding to put in fresh bedding while we were out there. The old goat bedding was spread over part of our garden space. Hooray for free fertilizer!

building in a community
I have always tell students that the measure of a good building is how it functions after the architecture magazines have left it and its life has begun. Case in point has always been the power of the spaces in Le Corbusier's Salvation Army building in Paris. Populated by the cities homeless, the building still works and works elegantly. This morning I took supplies down the street to the Hanrahan & Meyers Redhook Center for the Arts Building that is a check point for Redhook Initiative's outreach. The building is doing a great job today. The clear spacious entrance way can handle drop offs, medical help upstairs and volunteer distribution wonderfully. The power of modernism at its best.

"Ding-dong the witch is gone,
Which old witch?
The wicked witch,
Ding-dong the wicked witch is G-O-N-E!"
Oddly though, I wasn't in a celebratory mood. Instead, I was depressed, anxious, and worrying about everything. Yuck! To take my mind off of the anxiety, I blogged, read blogs, consumed celebrity news, read about all the latest fashion trends, and somehow completely missed the latest terrorist threat warnings. In short, my week consisted of mindless web-surfing. I should have relished this, but all I could think as I was doing it was how pathetic it was that I wasn't doing any work. How not fun is that? Deliberately avoiding work and then putting yourself on a simultaneous guilt trip about your avoidance. A waste on all counts, I tell you.
Oh well, one of things I'm trying to do, of late, is to let bygones be bygones (both for me and for others), and also to not spend so much time being anxious about the future. Both are excruciatingly difficult for me. I had a really wonderful session with CG yesterday and one of the things she said to me was: You need to think about what you can do to make yourself happy now. And she didn't mean "now" as in this time in my life; she meant "now" as in right now, today.
I'm supposed to try to sit with the present and not worry about the past or the future.
I didn't realize until recently that it was hard for me to sit in the present. I also didn't realize how much energy I spend worrying about time that has passed and time that will come. Yet another disconnect between my intellectual self, which has always understood the importance of living for today, and my emotional self, that has been nodding sagely at my intellectual self, and then, when my intellectual self isn't looking, has been running around like a mad woman trying to dissect, analyze, and divine the truth of the past in order to control the future.
Silly girl, didn't your Daddy tell you that you can't control the future? That you can't control the actions of others? That the only things you can control are your own actions? Why, yes, he did. But until your emotional self gets with the program, it doesn't much matter what your intellectual self knows or believes.
Monday is Raj's birthday, which makes this weekend his birthday weekend! I'm excited, and in order to make sure that I can enjoy the present this weekend, I'm going to buckle down and try to get some goddess-forsaken work done in the next few hours. Wish me luck and have a great weekend!
