THE GALLERY Limassol Cyprus
Located in Limassol, Cyprus, THE GALLERY by ASKANIS offers the epitome of luxury living with a community feel in one of the most beautiful parts of the Mediterranean.
Situated a stone's throw away from the water's edge, THE GALLERY provides residents with a winning combination of beach life, cosmopolitan vibes, and a vibrant atmosphere of cultural enrichment.
THE GALLERY is divided into multiple areas that offer high-end residential properties, exclusive commercial destinations, and cultural facilities, all designed to bring the city together in undeniably chic surroundings.
With WWK's Tom Wright at the design helm, THE GALLERY is reminiscent of his past projects such as the exclusive and world famous Burj al Arab building in Dubai. Heading up a team of internationally renowned architects, engineers, and consultants, Tom Wright brings a slice of Dubai-decadence to the centre of Limassol.
What makes THE GALLERY different from other projects is the way that it has been designed with the concept of focussing on the existing culture and community within Limassol, and harnessing its energy to extend this infectious vibe throughout the city.

One of the unique features of THE GALLERY is its beautifully lit bridge that connects the beachfront promenade to St Andrews Street as it passes through the project. THE GALLERY's desire to intrinsically link the beach, the community, and the city, with the facilities of the development, result in the bridge providing residents and visitors alike with a convenient and picturesque journey through all areas of the concept.

Ok. Got a new drive and connected to only R and S of Main Circuit. Both R and S are 120Vac single phase making 240VAC. And no SMOKE!! Done some successful jog tests of Y axis with DMM tuning software. So far iam estimating around 450IPM moves, am expecting more, but dont know enough about tunning these drives. Going to contact DMM with news and see if they have any configuring recommendations for drive and my machine setup.
I also contacted them about testing new drive with 240VAC single phase only and they brought up my 3phase converter again. And said "Normally, you can just connect any two legs of a three phase output go get single phase." What?? Can someone tell me what iam missing? I have never used Delta Wye only Delta from a 3phase converter. Is Delta Wye able to do this?
Anyhow will post as i get more results on testing all drives and servos.

Lüderitz is a harbor town in southern Namibia, lying on one of the least hospitable coasts in Africa.
It was founded in 1883 when Heinrich Vogelsang purchased Angra Pequena and some of the surrounding land on behalf of Adolf Lüderitz, a hanseat from Bremen in Germany, from the local Nama chief.
Lüderitz began its life as a trading post, with other activities in fishing and guano-harvesting. In 1909, after the discovery of diamonds nearby, Lüderitz enjoyed a sudden surge of prosperity. Today, however, diamonds are mostly found elsewhere and offshore, and Lüderitz has lost a lot of this interest.
The town is known for its colonial architecture, including some Art Nouveau work, and for wildlife including seals, penguins, flamingos and ostriches.
More of my pics of Lüderitz here.

It is great to have the luxury to worry about trivial things. I was reading today about the current financial crisis in Iran - not the worldwide one that has been going on for years but rather the fact that they have experienced 400% inflation in just a few months due to the economic sanctions imposed by most of the First World. Of course disastrous economic mismanagement is probably a big factor but the Iran leadership and the US are trying to blame each other exclusively for the mess. I read a bit about the situation there and it seemed utterly hopeless for the average person; merchants are terrified to sell anything because they have no idea what money is worth and everyone is worried about inflation becoming even more severe in the
coming days. Being a crazy totalitarian theocracy certainly isn't helping their case and the more I read about Iran the more appreciative I become of what I have.
I was talking this week with another parent who emigrated from Iran a few years ago and the stories she told me were just beyond belief. Living through war and crazy religious lifestyle enforcement police
are something I can hardly even imagine, let alone being willing to move across the globe to a new country where everything is unfamiliar and everyone is left behind. I worry and fuss about Elli getting
involved in the right clubs and check out the Girl Guides for religious infection before I approve of her joining. I get in trouble with various authorities because I want to go barefoot everywhere and don't like being told what to wear. I get extremely bitter that my country is wasting funds on fighter jets instead of doing things that are useful. Yet despite all this fussing there is no way Elli is going to be forced to join a religion, the restrictions on my personal freedom of expression are minimal, and my country has no plans to
*use* said fighter jets (which is a good reason to not buy them).
While it is sad that people are living through the mess that is Iran (and Iran isn't the worst place in the world to live, consider North Korea...) it does make me feel better about Canada that I have the luxury about worrying about so many small things. I spend so much of my time fired up writing about some injustice or other that it is probably a healthy thing to get slapped about with a comparison that makes my rants seem unimportant. I live in a good place, in a good time, and I should remember that. It shouldn't convince me to be complacent though as we can always do better but realizing exactly how good I have it and how bad things could be is critical to maintaining proper perspective.

IN THE MATTER OF MELVIN KIMBROUGH, PETITIONER,v.BRIAN FISCHER, AS COMMISSIONER OF CORRECTIONS AND COMMUNITY SUPERVISION, ET AL., RESPONDENTS.
Calendar Date: May 9, 2012
Before: Mercure, J.P., Spain, Kavanagh, McCarthy and Egan Jr., JJ.
Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 (transferred to this Court by order of the Supreme Court, entered in Albany County) to review a determination of respondent Commissioner of Corrections and Community Supervision which found petitioner guilty of violating certain prison disciplinary rules.
After the personal property in petitioner's cell had been packed up in preparation for a move to another facility, a correction officer observed petitioner pass documents contained in a booklet entitled "Urban Books" to another inmate through his cell bars. The officer reviewed the documents and found that they contained references to, among other things, black nationalism. Thereafter, the officer prepared a misbehavior report charging petitioner with possessing gang-related material, possessing unauthorized organizational material, possessing an item in an unauthorized area and smuggling. Following a tier III disciplinary hearing, he was found guilty of the charges. On administrative appeal, the charge of possessing gang-related material was dismissed, but the remaining charges were upheld. This CPLR article 78 proceeding ensued.
We must annul the determination. On the record before us, we cannot conclude that substantial evidence supports the determination finding petitioner guilty of possessing unauthorized organizational material. The disciplinary rule at issue provides, in pertinent part, that "[a]n inmate shall not . . . possess printed or handwritten material relating to an unauthorized organization where such material advocates either expressly or by clear implication, violence based upon race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, creed, law enforcement status or violence or acts of disobedience against department employees or that could facilitate organizational activity within the institution by an unauthorized organization" (7 NYCRR 270.2 [B] [6] [v]). Significantly, the documents that petitioner possessed did not refer to any particular organization nor did they advocate violence or acts of disobedience (compare Matter of Baez v Goord, 264 AD2d 916 [1999]). Further, as no evidence was presented in the misbehavior report, the hearing testimony, or elsewhere in the record to sustain the remaining charges on a basis independent of a finding that the materials petitioner possessed were unauthorized, those charges must also be annulled.
Mercure, J.P., Spain, Kavanagh, McCarthy and Egan Jr., JJ., concur.
ADJUDGED that the determination is annulled, without costs, petition granted and respondent Commissioner of Corrections and Community Supervision is directed to expunge all references thereto from petitioner's institutional record and to restore any good time taken from petitioner as a result thereof.

America F%$& Yeah!
I wrote yesterday that I understand how silly it is to feel pride in something you have no control over yourself, like being born in Brooklyn, and that could also apply to other random forms of pride. Just like being proud of being Italian, or Chinese or, especially, being a patriotic American. The majority of people who are flag waving, love it or leave it, Republican voting patriots have no real right to be that way. They just got lucky enough to have their mother give birth to them within the U.S. borders. They (and this group includes myself) didn't have to work especially hard to stay Americans. You'd have to work harder to not be an American,in fact, seeing as how it is much more difficult to get up and go somewhere than it is to just stay where you are. This is a scientifically proven fact. And let's face it, for most people, being an American is really God damn easy. The ironic thing is the people who should really be blindly patriotic are the ones who that aforementioned group of REAL AMERICANS want to keep out, the immigrants. It makes more sense that you would feel a true sense of pride in actually doing something, like working really hard to get into another country and starting a new life there. If you risked everything just to have a new place to keep your stuff (as George Carlin would say) then you should really be like "FUCK yes, I'm an American! Kiss my ass, other countries!". But the weird thing about patriotism as well as any type of civic pride (such as being a proud Brooklynite like myself) is that most people believe the opposite: unless you were born here you're not truly an American/Brooklynite/whatever. It's not where you're at, it's where you're from. Being an "American" or whatever other country you represent is more about identity and searching for a sense of community than anything rational, and it's definitely not about remembering that we freed ourselves of the British. "Hey, we've been here long enough. Might as well feel something. And you've been here for a while too. Let's eat some wieners!"
That being said, I love the 4th of July and all that comes with it. Stuff your face full of barbecued meats, drink a ton of beer and set off some illegal firecrackers in your backyard. Take some pride in knowing that there's a few million other people doing the exact same thing. AMERICA!

The forests of Africa cover 520 million hectares and constitute more than 17 per cent of the world's forests. They are largely concentrated in the tropical zones of Western and Central, Eastern and Southern Africa. With more than 109 million hectares of forests, the Democratic Republic of the Congo alone has more than 20 per cent of the region's forest cover, while Northern Africa has little more than 9 per cent (FAO 1997a), principally along the coast of the western Mediterranean countries. Forests include dry tropical forests in the Sahel, Eastern and Southern Africa, humid tropical forests in Western and Central Africa, diverse sub-tropical forest and woodland formations in Northern Africa and the southern tip of the continent, as well as mangroves in the coastal zones.
Forests play an important economic role in many countries. Forest products provide 6 per cent of GDP in the region, the highest in the world. But the share of forest products in trade is only 2 per cent, lower than the world average of 3 per cent (FAO 1998).
Africa's forests are threatened by a combination of factors including agricultural expansion, commercial harvesting, increased firewood collection, inappropriate land and tree tenure regimes, heavy livestock grazing, and accelerated urbanization and industrialization. Drought, civil wars and bush fires also contribute significantly to forest degradation (FAO 1997a and 1998). Inappropriate agricultural systems such as the chitemene, a system of shifting cultivation practised in parts of Southern and Central Africa, and tavy slash-and-burn agriculture in Madagascar, are responsible for considerable forest losses. Until recently, Southern Africa was losing more than 200 000 hectares of forests a year to shifting cultivation (Chidumayo 1986), although this is now starting to decline as farmers change to more settled agricultural practices.
Throughout Africa, there has been an increasing demand for wood products, especially firewood, charcoal and roundwood. As a result the consumption of forest products nearly doubled during 1970-94. The production and consumption of firewood and charcoal rose from 250 to 502 million m3 during the same period. Recent projections estimate that consumption will rise by another 5 per cent by 2010 (FAO 1997a). More recently, new economic reform measures have removed subsidies on energy alternatives which further increased the demand for firewood. At least 90 per cent of Africans depend on firewood and other biomass for their energy needs (FAO 1997a).
In Western and Central Africa, much of the tropical humid forests have already undergone substantial commercial harvesting. The total volume of wood exploited annually in the sub-region is more than 200 million m3. Nearly 90 per cent is consumed as firewood and charcoal, and only 2 per cent as industrial roundwood (FAO 1997a). However, as it produces only a small proportion of the world's industrial roundwood, Africa is a net importer of industrial wood. Five countries in Northern Africa - Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia - together account for 60 per cent of the imports. With the exception of a few countries such as Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania and Zimbabwe, all sub-Saharan African countries import all their paper (FAO 1997a).
Large-scale oil exploration and mining in Western and Central Africa have also led to the loss of forest resources, especially in Cameroon, the Congo, Gabon and Nigeria.
Elephants contribute to forest degradation by knocking down trees and habitat 'simplification'
Wildlife also contributes to forest degradation and loss in Africa, particularly elephants in areas such as the Sengwa, Hwange, Mana Pools, Luangwa Valley and Chobe national parks in Southern Africa, where they destroy forests by knocking down trees and 'simplifying' the habitat and ecological processes.
During 1990-95 the annual rate of deforestation in Africa was about 0.7 per cent, a slight decline from 0.8 per cent during 1980-90 (FAOSTAT 1997). The highest rates were recorded in the moist western parts of the continent. During the 1980s, Africa lost an estimated 47 million hectares of forest. By 1995 another 19 million hectares had been lost (FAO 1997a), an area the size of Senegal. Losses have been particularly high in countries such as Uganda, where forest and woodland cover shrunk from an estimated 45 per cent of total land area in 1900 to only 7.7 per cent by 1995 (Ministry of Natural Resources, Uganda, 1995).
Tree plantations and agroforestry are increasingly important aspects of forest rehabilitation, especially in non-tropical Northern and Southern Africa. Although providing significant amounts of timber, firewood and other useful products, afforestation rates throughout Africa are far less than the rate of deforestation (FAO 1997a).
The pressures on African forests will inevitably continue rising to meet the needs of fast-growing populations in rapidly urbanizing and industrializing countries, especially if most of their people remain poor.

MSNBC has put together a slide-show offering a brief history of Iran.
They've managed to go back further than 1979 – impressive for a mainstream outlet, whose memories usually begin with the Islamic revolution.
But, amazingly, they've contrived to ignore Mohammed Mossadeq, the democratically elected prime minister of Iran who in 1953 was overthrown in a UK/CIA-backed coup, which installed the brutal and corrupt Shah in his place. The overthrow of Mossadeq is probably, together with the 1979 Islamic revolution, the seminal moment in the history of 20th century Iran, and MSNBC has just wiped it out for political convenience. Mossadeq had dared to nationalise the Iranian oil industry at the expense of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (now British Petroleum), and such defiance could obviously not be tolerated by the masters of the world.
The slide-show also makes no mention of the fact that the U.S. supported Iraq in its aggression against Iran, which left up a million people dead on all sides.
The mainstream media has been caught, once again, shamelessly re-writing history in the interests of power. That MSNBC has completely obliterated the U.S.' history of aggression towards Iran at a time when the Bush administration is trying to drum up militaristic fervour amongst the population with a possible view to another imperialistic war against that country is an utter disgrace.
A more accurate overview of modern Iranian history can be found here.

Argonnessen: A Draconic Exaltation
Half Orc
Little is known about the mysterious and often reclusive Half-Orc other than that they are the union of Orc and Human couplings. In Argonnessen, Half-Orcs are even more infrequent than in most settings due to the Orc and Humans living in very different and divided sections of the continent. The one except is the lawless area known as The Vast where any creature struggling for survival might come into contact and ally with any other such being. Even in the Vast Half-Orcs are uncommon and often shunned by both the Orcs and the Humans that they must interact with. This leads to a very solitary and tortured life.
Physical Description: Half-orcs average around 6 feet tall, with powerful builds and greenish or grayish skin. Their canine teeth often grow long enough to protrude from their mouths, and these "tusks," combined with heavy brows and slightly pointed ears, give them their notoriously bestial appearance. While half-orcs may be impressive, few ever describe them as beautiful. Despite these obvious orc traits, half-orcs are as varied as their human parents.
Society: The Half-Orcs of The Vast live in a precarious situation. Notably weaker than their Orcan brethren, they are shunned by the Orc hordes and any Half-Orc children born to the hordes are left to the elements to die. The human barbarians are likewise suspicious of the Half-Orc and see them as a threat until they can prove their worth. Once the Half-Orc reaches adulthood (at a slightly younger age than the average human), the can pull their weight among the human barbarians – literally as well as figuratively. Many human clan finds it advantageous to raise a half-orc with the knowledge of the strength that it will grow into as an adult; but Half-Orcs are almost always treated as slow brained second rate citizens. Many Half-Orcs playing into this stereotype, intentionally downplaying their own intelligence for the sheer comfort of humanity that their human parentage demands of them.
Alignment and Religion: Forced to live among the Orc Hordes or on the outskirts of human tribes, a Half-Orcs life seems long and bitter. Evil comes easily to them – not because it is innate in their nature – but because few people take the time to teach them anything resembling kindness. Life in The Vast is Chaotic in the best of times, so Chaotic Evil, Neutral Evil, and Chaotic Neutral are the most common alignment. Life is often too chaotic for organized religion, but a Half-Orc who is ruled by a Dragon Dominion Lord may be forced to worship the Dragon itself or whichever Draconic God it has a preference for.
Notable Zones: The Vast
Notable Cities: none
Standard Racial Traits
Ability Score Racial Traits: Half-orc characters gain a +2 bonus to one ability score of their choice at creation to represent their varied nature.
Type: Half-orcs are Humanoid creatures with both the human and orc subtypes.
Size: Half-orcs are Medium creatures and thus have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Base Speed: Half-orcs have a base speed of 30 feet.
Languages: Half-orcs begin play speaking Common and Orc. Half-orcs with high Intelligence scores can choose from the following: Abyssal, Draconic, Giant, Gnoll, and Goblin. See the Linguistics skill page for more information about these languages.
Feat and Skill Racial Traits
Intimidating: Half-orcs receive a +2 racial bonus on Intimidate checks due to their fearsome nature.
Offense Racial Traits
Orc Ferocity: Once per day, when a half-orc is brought below 0 hit points but not killed, he can fight on for 1 more round as if disabled. At the end of his next turn, unless brought to above 0 hit points, he immediately falls unconscious and begins dying.
Weapon Familiarity: Half-orcs are proficient with greataxes and falchions and treat any weapon with the word "orc" in its name as a martial weapon.
Senses Racial Traits
Darkvision: Half-orcs can see in the dark up to 60 feet.

These days, I feel so lazy to writing a post. Maybe due to I don't have something to do. Huh? Are you confuse? Well, this is just my opinion, when you have too much free time, you will more lazy to move around. Why? Well, I don't know. Perhaps because you are too comfortable lying on the couch. Or maybe you lose your spirit.
BUT this time! Right now! I wanna change! Yes, I have to.
After reading this post, I wish you got motivated to. Actually, I addressed this post especially for a job seeker (same with my condition now).
After I daydreaming long enough, I had thought how to fight my laziness. That is… I have to do something. Whatever it is, I shouldn't be lazy. Because the laziness will make you more lazy. Now, I will share some activities you can do in your 'very' free time.
- Improve your english language (if your mother-tongue is not english)
There are many many ways to improve your english skill. If you are too lazy to study, you can do this in a fun way. This is what I actually do to improve my english :
a. Watch english movie with english subtitle. It will help your listening, speaking, and vocabulary. When you find a word that you don't understand, you have to write it and looking for the meaning of that word.
b. Watch any movie with english subtitle. Whether the movie is korean movie or thailand movie, don't choose your own native language subtitle. The point is, whatever its movie, choose english subtitle.
c. If you are confident enough, you can watch english movie without subtitle. Wanna try?
- Learning foreign languages
Don't you feel bored to speak the same language everyday? Especially when communication links are already very extensive, you can talk to someone who is far away in another country. You may speak english for your communication, but it would be more interesting if you can speak their language. Besides, it could give more value in your cv (curriculum vitae) when you apply for a job.
- Listening foreign music, read the lyric, find the meaning
Again and again, this is all about improving foreign language skill. Well, sorry, actually this is just my hobby. But this is very helpful, right?
- Produce sweat
I mean you should do exercise. When you are too lazy and do nothing, you are accumulating fat in your body. In exercise, you can do what you like to do. If you like to swim, then swimming, if you like to run, you may do jogging, or you can just play soccer with your friends. Even household chores is an exercise! So, come on, let's exercise, and get healthy!
Well, no matter how hard I try to think, I couldn't find another way to kill our free times. But I wish this article can give you an inspiration, so you can have a quality time in your free time. Especially for a job seeker, let's do useful things while hoping to get a call from the company. Goodluck, guys!

When it's Lent, anything that could possibly go wrong, will go wrong.
Just in the past week,
the oven handle has come off several times
the vent finally gave out and had to be replaced
and today the water filter suddenly cracked.
Lent for my hubby should be officially designated "Honey Do Month".
Lent is actually my oasis in the desert. Because of my heightened awareness of God and His Presence in my life, I also am able to identify little mortifications that could be offered up.
Fr. Matt, in his homily today, asks/challenges, "What will be different this time?"
One of my goals when I emerge from this Lent is to maintain this same level of awareness, keeping God front and center all the time. Easy to say, yes, hard to do. I think I've strayed from where I was a couple of years ago and it's primarily because of increased use of social media.
The quiet is a bit overwhelming at times, but I'm considering making the change a permanent one.
However, I still recognize that there is work to be done, in terms of evangelization, which we are called to engage in, even more, now.
Fr. Dubay talks about degrees of human excellence. While I certainly can identify with all degrees (certainly less so the third, which calls for me to be saintly most of the time), I am most firmly ensconced in the second degree. It's the little things that always get me. Especially through the years that I've grown in my faith and become more confident of God's love for me, I've seen this creeping tendency to flare up, like when the Church or the Pope is being attacked, or when "catholics" misrepresent authentic Catholic teaching. The problem with that is I also seem to have developed a low threshold for anything that may be identifiable as a spiritual battle — especially as it concerns me and my family. Anytime I sense the evil one trying to get a foothold, no matter how little the temptation is, I go into Mama Bear mode, and forget that gentleness with the person working through the struggle would work so much more effectively if I weren't huffing and puffing, eager for the battle to end with my loved one as victor. I often come out intolerant of the PERSON and not of the EVIL. Big difference.
If I could pick only one book that I'd say had a profound effect in my life besides the Bible, I'd say it's Fr. Lovasik's The Hidden Power of Kindness. Page after page it is filled with practical suggestions on how to be a kinder, saintlier person RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW. Lenten resolution within this Lenten resolution: reread this book.
I'm also realizing that I'm a happier, more peaceful, a more in-tune-with-God person, without certain people in my life. They're not toxic people per se, but just ones who evoke a certain response in me that if I'm not careful could lead me to various sins. While it feels good to be needed, and I've always had a tendency to say YES to everything that's presented to me, it's been nice to take a step back and just enjoy the quiet. It also helps tone down my pride a bit to realize that I am not as needed as I sometimes think I am. My primary vocation is not in cyberspace where can only effect minute changes, where I cannot change the world, anymore than I can crawl into my screen and give people a pat on the back or a hug. I've spent entirely too much time in the playground, it seems, and not enough on my knees.
To keep on progressing spiritually, more attention needs to be given to feeding my soul. This is evidenced by the pile of books (mostly spiritual reading) I have at my bedside — ever increasing, never diminishing, it seems, until Lent rolls around. This seems to be the great difficulty everyone encounters, but is loathe to identify. Just like people who skip breakfast even when they know it's the most important meal of the day, it's easy to convince oneself that we are getting nourishment just from being around like-minded folks. It's not going to happen with me sitting in an atmosphere of camaraderie, but perhaps not a whole lot of soul-growing. I cannot expect to just soak up faith by chatting daily with a bunch of believers. I still have to proactively turn to my God and His Word and be constantly in Communion with Him, even if that means I turn to Him IN SILENCE.
In the everyday, it's easy to let the tiny temptations pile up and not even see them for what they are. Stepping back to view the bigger picture needs to happen on a regular basis, or I lose sight of what God truly wants me to do. I can only listen well, when by choice, I turn off the cacophony of voices I've allowed into my life (many of which are my own and come in the form of unreasonable demands). I cannot simply wait for Him to yell in order to drown out the noise that's of my own making.

Ouch. Some wishes manifest can look more like nightmares come true.
I had two major, overriding wishes when moving into the beast that became my divorce: One was to stop the run away locomotive that was driven by inflicting pain, confusion and manipulation so that joy could find a way into each of our lives once again. The second; to release and enable the power to be better parents and caregivers to our children-each of us in our own right-without the impeding criticism of the other. And, if this could not happen, for my boys to see the man their father was and is, and the mom I am, without me sending up flairs of exposure.
I envisioned for their father an enlightening growth and tenderhearted discovery of parental love growing from the new soil of turned commitments. Whew-hope springs eternal. Accused of being a dreamer in the past, I fervently fought against it as the cynical dig in which it was delivered; and now I hold fast to it as the only way to live. But in this instance I can honestly say I wish I'd packed away this dreaming with the china pattern and photo album.
I must accredit the breadwinner role fulfilled: A gold medal is awarded in this arena. The boys have been given more in the way of wants than I would ever ascribe to. For this I am certain they are grateful in their teenage needs.
Yet, unfortunately, the paternal role has not been scooped up and rebuilt on this new foundation. What I'd hoped would be an opportunity to grow has not been realized. The things that put the locomotive in overdrive are flying wild once again.
What does this mean for the boys I've allowed release from my primary care? What does this mean in their relation with this paternal being and the potential for growth into a healthy and rewarding relationship with their primary male role model?
I have spent two anxious nights mulling this conundrum. I have logged onto southwest.com three times-logging on, logging off, logging on....wavering in my anxiety to see the reality of what I am hearing for myself. I have sent multiple text messages, logged maximum minutes on the phone lines and composed emails in concerned hope that all was just a ruse. The wish for my boys and their father has disintigrated amidst my misplaced dreaming. Alas, I see that part of my 'hope for' in the divorce is being realized. The boys are bearing witness to the man who is their father firsthand. The flairs are exploding brightly over Okemos, Michigan and the three oldest redheads are at ground zero.
It is taking all of my strength and new found wisdom to not run in and rescue them. To not book the flight, charge the front line and save the youthful bodies from the impending doom. But I stop myself. With maternal instincts screaming, I stop myself. With the gift of gentle words from a friend in response to my frantic call for guidance-'Trish, remember what you wished for from the start?' I settle down and see what they are faced with-
-The reality of the man who is their father. The honesty of why their 'parents' dissolved into 'mom' and 'dad' before their young eyes. The father he really is-
I can not save them from this. I want to. The big part of who I am needs to. But this would just return me, as well, to the place I was as a parent in the past-a protector-a shielder-and in the end, an enabler. I can not go back. I must sit gently, pray fervently, trust explicitly and listen when they call. There is a greater force guiding their lives and in this I trust they will come out stronger, better, more whole men on the other side of learning. I can not shield them from what is there. I can only pray they are safe, strong and that this experience carries them to a better place overall.
And for me? It can not be denied that I began with guilt-for having allowed them to walk into this relationship knowing full well what could lay under the topsoil. But I know I have to move past that. I have to see this for what it is-their learning about their father and as a result-I dream another dream-becoming better human beings. My wish coming true. Ouch. in love. trish.

Mon 4/17 @ 10AM-10PM
For the better part of the last decade, the day after Easter has been a huge party for the western neighborhoods of Cleveland — Gordon Square Arts District, Hingetown, Ohio City and Tremont.
This year marks the seventh annual Dyngus Day, with the Gordon Square Arts Neighborhood boasting an outdoor stage for live music all day, ethnic Polish food, the Dyngus Day parade, the Miss Dyngus Day competition and ethnic beer. Organizer DJ Kishka is also spinning his favorite polka tunes, as well as debuting his latest, if you will, pierogi, "The DJ Kishka Show."
CoolCleveland talked to the popular DJ Kishka (aka Justin Gorski) about his new venture, Dyngus Day and The Kielbasa Kid.
What exactly is "The DJ Kishka Show?"
It's the world premiere happening at 10pm in the Capitol Theater for free on Dyngus Day. I quit doing the Polka Happy Hour at the Happy Dog, but still wanted to do something. This just piqued my interest to be able to write, produce and direct. I'm kind of throwing my hat into the TV show ring. It was great. We wrote five original episodes. They're about 25 minutes long and are kind of — not quite — like Big Chuck and Lil' John skits. There's definitely some inklings towards that kind of humor.
So what exactly will people be seeing on Dyngus Day?
We have some old-style polka footage from the Cleveland-Style Polka Hall of Fame. We'll show that first and then put the show on. It'll probably be an hour or so. "The DJ Kishka Show" is not sketch comedy at all. It's a narrative. We wrote about how the Kishka came around. I don't want to give too much way. We're just using local talent. The five episodes are "The Birth," "The Accordion," "The Beard," "The Uniform" and "The Beer." I play myself at every age like "Elf" or "Kingpin."
How long have you been thinking about diving into the world of television?
I've been doing commercials for Dyngus Day since 2011 when we first started. I've been playing music since I was five years old. I have a musical performance degree from University of Dayton. I've always kind of done something creative. This show just seems natural out of that. This is my first dive into really getting into the nuts and bolts of how to produce a TV show.
Looking ahead, what are your aspirations for "The DJ Kishka Show?"
I don't know. I haven't really thought about that. I'm just having a good time putting the shows together. I think after this one airs, we're going to sit down with the team and say, "What should we do, where should we go? Should we put it on YouTube or make a web series?" At this point, nobody is making any money. We're just having fun.
The notion of debuting "The DJ Kishka Show" on Dyngus Day makes a lot of sense.
Absolutely, you've got the biggest polka party in Cleveland happening. It's perfect. It would be silly not to premiere it on Dyngus Day.
What's new with our favorite bearded polka hipster DJ Kishka?
I did stop doing the Happy Dog because it was too much to do monthly, but I pop up here and there. I'm thinking about next year putting out a polka album, but we'll see how that goes. It's a lot to do with having three kids, a new business (Cleveland Vegan) and Dyngus Day.
Speaking of Dyngus Day, why are you excited for this year's event?
The festival footprint is larger. The city gave us the thumbs up. From 9am to 10pm, we're closing Detroit Avenue from W. 57th to W. 59th. The parade will go to W. 65th, but that's just from 6 to 7pm. It's just a bigger festival grounds, which means we'll put the stage on Detroit Avenue and face it west and push the polka jams out from there. We'll have kind of a beer garden, as well as food vendors and other vendors in the street. It's just a lot more room for people to get out to dance. It's the biggest polka party Cleveland has ever seen. It's a great feeling. If you've never been there you can't really explain it. It's more of an experience.
Finally, back to "The DJ Kishka Show," any chance The Kielbasa Kid makes an appearance?
(laughs) The Kielbasa Kid, probably not. We've looked into that, and I don't think the Kielbasa Kid was all that intrigued.

Nezznar The Black Spider walked confidently across the Astral Plane, his feet echoing throughout the deserted blasted landscape. He was followed by his personal bodyguard, a monk named Foo, and six black-clad Cult of the Dragon warriors. A silvery cord extended from between the shoulder blades of each of them, trailing behind and fading into invisibility after a few feet. Thunderous storm clouds still rolled across the skies, only illuminated by streaks of crackling purple lightning. Nezzar had been to the Gray Wastes before, seeking knowledge from the souls of the dead.
He smiled at the memory. It had only been a few short years since that time. The rise of Tiamat had served Nezznar well, allowing him to grow in power, position, and strength. Nezznar was aware that his current station had much to owe to the Cult of the Dragon. And that was part of the reason why they had projected to the Astral Plane, seeking the ruins of Pluton…
The small company walked across the wasted hills in silence. Rubble of ice and rock laid strewn across the layers of ash, which the shrieking wind picked up into a gray haze that lay as a funeral shroud over the landscape. They passed remains of ancient groves, filled with twisted olive trees, poplar and willows, their leaves dead and clinging to black branches, like dying hands grasping after life. Some doomed souls, laboring at tasks they would never complete, all gazed at them as they passed by. Slowly but surely, they made their way towards a huge tower carved of black, glittering ice.
They entered the dark ruins, and stood in what was once a great hall. As his companions spread out within the ruins, Nezznar stood in the center and raised the ram's head staff that he carried with him. The onyx gems within the ram's head glowed changing from jet black to blood red. The Drow wizard raised the staff slowly with his left hand, shouting out the words of the spell.
"I call upon you Nerull, God of the Dead, Hater of Life, Reaper of Flesh, I command you to unlife, I command you to service. Because I am an Exarch of the Mother of All Magic, and you are her servant! Lolth commands you to rise!" his voice rang out and the ground trembled.
Silence … a long time of silence. Time passed slowly. But then, an answer, no higher than a whisper, no higher than the sound of butterfly wings on a calm breeze. "I listen, and I serve. What do you seek?" it said. The whisper sounded like the snapping of bones.
"I seek the Well of Souls. I must find it to appease The Mother of All Magic. I must find it to forge a weapon that is fit to slay a god. Tell me where it lies."
Suddenly the crackling sound of the voice grew in strength and anger, "The Well of Souls!" The voice continued to repeat itself. "The Well of Souls!" "The Well of Souls!"
Nezzar trembled with anticipation. Blood oozed from the astral cord, dripping on the ground below him. Darkness gathered around him like a cloud of bats. The glowing eyes of the staff flard even brighter. "Tell me where to find it!" he shouted. "Tell me where to find the Well of Souls!"
The voice chuckled, "I would, and it would be with pleasure. But you must make me a promise. You must grant me a boon."
Nezznar laughed, his white hair flying wildly around his face. "What is it that a dead god could desire?"
"Revenge," said the voice grimly. "Revenge." There was a short pause. "When you forge the weapon, you must also use it to kill the Raven Queen."
"Yes, that I promise you, Old Master." Nezznar cracked a delirious grin. "Now tell me!"
"The Land of Nod," whispered the voice. "Within the ruins of the First City. That is where the Well of Souls is hidden."
Nezznar cackled like a madman. His companions looked at him, wondering if the wizard was losing a grip on his sanity. Foo stepped forward, glancing around for any appear enemy or danger. The Drow closed his eyes as if in ecstasy, and howled:
"Lolth, my Queen, Mother of All Magic, Spider Queen of the Demonwe Pits, Queen of Spiders, Queen of the Dark Abyss, Weaver of Chaos, Mother of Lust, Dark Mother of All Drow, Lady of Spiders …. hear me!
"There is something else…" whispered the voice, interrupting.
Nezznar turned back, anger rising. "What?!"
"Somebody else came and asked the same question as you."
"Who?" The Drow's mind was racing. Was someone else seeking to appease Lolth? Was there someone trying to prevent him from accomplishing his goal?
"The Keeper of Secrets…sent his Exarch." whispered the voice.
Nezznar stood silent for a second. "It doesn't matter. Let him have his secrets. While he guards them, I act upon them", the Drow said with a powerful voice that made the ground tremble. With that, Nezznar ended the spell.
And then suddenly they were gone from the Gray Wastes. For a moment there was silence, and then the voice spoke one last time.
As it is written: "At Winter Solstice within the Year of the Scarlet Witch wise men shall gather to stand between Darkness and Light."

So what is the upkeep and care for diapers you may ask... I chose originally to wash everyday because I only had enough diapers to diaper both of the boys for one day, ans also the more frequently you wash, the less the diaper pail smells (this can be combatted by putting some baking soda in the pail...neutralizes the smell! )but now I usually wask every other day because I have more diapers to work with for Ben, then, rather than throwing them in the dryer (takes about an hour and a half to dry a big load of diapers because of the absorbancy) I have started line drying his diapers for several reasons (weather permitting of course). To begin with, I am a sucker for the smell of sunshine... and those diapers (and towels and whatever else I hang outside) smell soooo good after they dry. It also uses less power to dry them, therefore we spend less money on power. Also, the sun has antibacterial qualities that bleach stains and any kind of lingering bacteria out of the diapers
. To wash the diapers, I use Charlie's Soap, which is all natural (http://www.charliesoap.com/) and very cheap to use.... it leaves no residue on your clothes or on the diapers, and is ultra sensitive, so it won't irritate sensitive hindparts. We switched over to using Charlie's Soap on all of our laundry, that way we don't have residue from other fabric softeners or soaps in the washer. Charlie's Soap is very economical as well... I bought a 5-gallon bucket of it last April (*it only takes one tablespoon per wash) and I know it will last at least until next April...which means we haven't bought laundry detergent or softener since April! That stuff adds up and gets expensive!!! If you have softwater, you can also use it in the dishwasher! Amazing stuff, and totally non-toxic. So as you can see, Cloth diapering has led me to save money in other ways.... which I will continue to highlight in future posts such as thrifty cleaning solutions and couponing and ways to keep kids and yourself happy on little money!

Yoko Ono has turned down all but one or two requests for the rights to record John Lennon's "Imagine" for promotional purposes. But she will let Amnesty International use her husband's peace anthem for free in a two-year human rights education campaign that begins Dec. 10. Under the direction of composer Hans Zimmer, a children's choir will record the song as a single later this year for use in a music video and public service announcements. Longtime Amnesty supporter Gabriel Byrne secured the rights when he met Ono at a party about six months ago. The Irish actor got the idea to use a children's choir after hearing a stirring rendition at his niece's graduation. " 'Imagine' is a prayer for world peace," says Ono, who must approve the final recording. "It will mean so much to today's world for children to sing this song to us."
Harrison Ford and Tom Cruise aren't the only Hollywood stars who perform real-life heroics in their spare time. On July 27, at an intersection in L.A.'s Silverlake neighborhood, Brad Pitt saw a woman driving a Mercedes make an ill-timed left turn, get clipped by an oncoming SUV and keep on going. While the people in the sports utility climbed out, Pitt, in a black Mercedes SUV, took off after the woman and pulled up alongside her car to speak with her. Although she wasn't hurt, the driver seemed to be in a state of shock, so Pitt encouraged her to return to the intersection. He then followed the woman back to the scene, where she exchanged information with the other driver. Pitt stayed long enough to make sure everyone was all right before hopping back into his Mercedes, declaring, "That's enough drama for one day."
Kevin Costner is back in the saddle. For the first time since winning dual Oscars for 1990's Dances with Wolves, Costner is starring in and directing a western. It's a drama about cattle drivers called Open Range and costars Annette Bening and Robert Duvall. The film, which is currently being shot on the Stoney Indian Reservation in western Canada, has a modest $23 million budget, which is why the three stars had to take reductions in their usual fees. The shoot has been a family affair. Bening, who has already completed her role, had her four children with her, while Costner's children are frequent visitors to the set. The highlight for the kids? Seeing real cowboys in action at Calgary's famous Stampede rodeo in July.
Supermodel Heidi Klum certainly has her share of male fans, but on Aug. 16 she'll also capture some mail fans when the Caribbean island of Grenada releases six $1.50 stamps with her photo on them—an accolade usually reserved for dead celebrities. A flattered Klum is delighted, especially because her father, Gunther, a retired perfume executive, is a stamp collector.

Coastal Classic Creations is totally thrilled about this. Eco-green is about helping people for sure. This year, 27 children worldwide who suffer from the disease progeria came to the United
States to receive treatment at The Progeria Foundation. The Foundation has been working intensely to find a cure for this fatal disease that plagues these precious children. We donated soaps from our children's collection to put in their welcome bags, and what a thrill it was to receive the picture of the child opening that welcome bag with the little soap!
We also have used our breast cancer awareness mold as an incentive gift for women to get their mammograms at local hospitals. It has been well received since our soap is unscented and many times flowers and chocolate make recovering chemotherapy patients sick from the fragrance.
Lastly, we donated our Golden Retriever molds to a golden retriever rescue center in Illinois to help them raise funds to help abandoned animals.
So, you see, your comments are correct. Eco-green is not just about the environment--it's about helping others in a good and wholesome way! Right on!

In another forum I have been discussing child raising with a few friends. I am not a parent but having 4 younger brothers gave me a lot of insight into the process. It all made me think about how my early childhood influenced who I am.
A topic that came up is that parents learn different things with each child and therefor treat them differently. The first child is rarely left unattended. Number 1 is the child parents are worried to death will die if not constantly tended to. Good parents will eventually figure out that kids are made of rubber and have remarkable healing powers and stop fussing too much over the little one's every move. Hopefully, not too much damage has been done by the time they figure it out.
I was number 2. Parents have learned through the first child (unless something terrible happened to number 1) that kids are pretty rugged things and can take lumps and recover pretty well. As number 2, I was given more time to myslef and left to do what I wanted (often whatever my older sister wanted) and I assumed the role of kid who fought for attention. Number 1 already had trained my folks that she needed constant praise and attention. I am the one who is always going to be OK. I was given the role of the independent one from a very early age. I did not like that role.
I fought for attention constantly. When my sister learned to read, I learned to read better. When my sister brought an art project home from school, I would work madly to copy a picture from a real artist so that it could go up on the fridge. I had to out do my sister. She was not competitive and at some point she gave up. She was held back a year in school and I was advanced so that we ended up in the same grade. This lead to even more attention being given to my sister's problems and having a younger brother at home just made it harder for me.
More kids came and as time went on I did all sorts of things. Instead of remaining competitve ,since I assumed the role of eldest child once I had been in the same grade as my sister, I started acting up and getting into trouble. Not only did I get attention that made me feel important but it was fun to be bad. A lot of fun.
Now that I am older (I hope wiser) I wonder how much of my personality and the way I act is influenced by my younger years. I know I am not the same person but I know that I still try to "out do" people and do things I know are wrong from time to time. How are we all affected by our early development and how does that affect how we view the world?

Hello Everyone,
Apologies for the delay with my Blog but this last couple of months have been busy with both good and bad things. I will update you on the health stuff first as there isn't much to say.
I continue on my chemo (tablets) which are great and have had a good effect on me and what I have the fitness and energy to do. I have a good relationship with my nurse and doctor so I am progressing well and can talk to them about everything. As you would expect I am having some side effects to cancer and medication (like repeating myself- so tell me if I am) but being busy and having a good team looking after me means that I am still here, and have lots planned and lots to do.
That said you should also be aware that with my failing eyesight and shaky hands I sometimes dont make sense and spell badly....Ha Ha
So what have I been doing?
Well having parties of course.
Our Easter Egg hunt the other week which was great. The kids collected lots of chocolate and all behaved well and the adults had a good time chatting, drinking and dancing. My daughter had too much chocolate (was sick) and one of the other mums had too much alcohol, (not saying who - ha ha), as you can see yet another great party at our place.
I have formally written complaint to the LloydsTSB bank on their inability to change my name (to Sargent) despite 7 visits over two years. As you all know me you will know that I am good at complaining, especially when their inability to get my name right interrupted the house move of my parents, left me unable to get any cash for 3 days and even on one occasion change my online name to being T.41Lor.
Whilst this has been incredibly frustrating I am now a Sargent and on first name terms with the Manager (Barry) which is good as I continue to have problems with their inability to get my name right and have also found out a member of my family has been having the same problems for 3 years with the same bank. I haven't changed my email and blog address because of this but I am a Sargent now and it is our two year wedding anniversary at the end of the month.
The good thing is that despite the TSB not accepting my passport (Sargent) as ID my brother and I manged to complete our parents house move. Whilst we don't have pictures hung, and all boxes and bags unpacked yet, everything else is pretty much sorted and they are looking forward to visits from the family.
The most infuriating and time consuming, bad thing for me, has been submitting my parents tax return on line. Yes I did spend my birthday doing this,!
As we had help from the family, we already had all the relevant finance data to input, plus a computer with working Internet connection (unlike my parents -moving house) I expected this to take 10 minutes not 10 days!!!.
We had already worked out the tax due, £0.80 ( yes 80 pence) which I paid over the phone, and I then spent the rest of the time trying to just log on to the HMRC website from Southport (codes and ref numbers - not Internet signal). Every time I input something wrong they would reset the log on details and passwords and send these to my parents at the house they were moving out of, which was 22 miles away and I can't drive. So simply logging on became an infuriating task! I have never come across anything so damned annoying. Ahhhh!
The good things along side all of the above are that my parents are now settled in their new home and we also have a new member of the family "Jessica " who was born two weeks ago, she is gorgeous just like her mum and her sisters.
I mentioned in my last post that another member of my family has created a website to promote his business. This is now live and looking fantastic thanks to help from one of Rays former students. Ray is based in Horwich and has got a good response to the website locally but I am asking everyone, even those of you who live miles away, to have a look. We are looking for feedback on the look and content and have more people looking at the site so that we can move up the search applications online www.Drive2Perfection.co.uk, so if you get a minute have a look.
Whilst I am no longer at Warton, I do speak to quite a few people and had some good news today (ha ha), so keep in touch.
In case you hadn't noticed.......I have a lot on and this months blog has been a good vent for me. Reaing this shoud explain why its so long since my last post. I will keep in touch and be back soon.
I've had a couple of questions about this blog and access to it. If you search online it is fairly easy to find and read but if you go to the web address and sign in you will get an email of every updatre.
This blog has been set up allow me to keep in touch with family and friends and give you updates on what we are doing and how the treatment is going.
Hi all,
This is my blog, purpose is to update all my friends and family on how I am and what myself, the family and our friends have planned for the time I have left.
I will include updates on my treatments, how I am feeling and what we are planning as a family. I do have a lot planned so don't expect daily updates, hopefully this will give you some general information but I am happy to answer questions and all suggestions are welcome.

THS Relay for Life
My friend Heather is hosting the THS Raffle for Life on her blog! She's helping her cousin Mickey raise money in memory of her Aunt Pat who passed away from cancer.
The raffle is LIVE until through Saturday the 16th. Please check it out! Cancer affects us all in some way and is a great cause. Plus there are lots of really great gifts up for grabs!
Some days we want to run away from stress, worry, doubt and fear.
Instead I'm dragging my butt out the door…to the gym.
Sitting on the couch gets you nowhere.Lying in bed works no muscles… even in gym clothes.
Thinking about workouts may work the imagination or memory but no muscles.
You have to get up…
Put on the shoes…
Go….and be thankful you did.
What gets you out the door?

I needed this blog entry today, badly! Just dragging MY butt out the door in 5 minutes to go to AquaFit class.
Some days, it's knowing that friends and family will give me a hard time if I don't go exercise that gets me out the door. Some days, its remembering that, with my very serious health issues (colitis, severe arthritis, depression), if I DON'T get regular exercise, or start getting it, I'm not going to be able to move, literally, ten years from now.
But it's always a struggle, isn't it? *sighs*
I for one always thought that regular exercise is only a struggle in the beginning when you are not used to it. But once you have a regular schedule where you know you always work out on the same days for example, it becomes easier. The trouble is sticking true to your routine and to not leave out a day for whatever reason. It's harder to start over than to continue – at least that's the case with me.

So there are loyalty programs, and then there are super fun loyalty programs! The Yarnathon from Eat.Sleep.Knit is one of the latter category. I have known about this program for a little while without really looking into it as it is a store from the US and sometimes online purchases from US vendors can be tricky into Canada. It's just my luck to get hooked when the dollar is doing so poorly in the States.
That being said, let me tell you more about the Yarnathon! The basic premise is that when you purchase yarn, they convert the yardage into varying distances like a marathon. This year's theme is Space, which is always something I love. Essentially, this year your yardage converts into distances between planets. Right now, I am on Earth, which is good, since I do live on Earth after all!
So what does this do for you, the consumer, you ask? At each planet, you receive a certain amount of store credit as well as prizes that come with your order. If you complete the full Yarnathon (50,000 yards), you will have received $160 in store credit, 8 knitting related gifts, and for finishing, you get 10% off future orders and free shipping.
In addition, each order comes with a lottery ticket where you can win more store credit!
But that's not all! They also have a Merit Badge Booster club program where you can win more prizes and store credit for completing yarn related tasks. I really like this program as it gives me some incentive to branch out from my usual wheelhouse and try some new techniques. I am looking forward to obtaining my colourwork badge as that is something I have never tackled!
Some of my Eat.Sleep.Knit orders this year and prizes!
There is also a very active group on Ravelry where you can chat with other Yarnathon players and your team (you are placed on one of four teams). The team with the most stars at the end of the year also wins a prize for any team member with at least 500 yards purchased in the year.
I can't imagine how much time it takes to run this program, but if you like luxury hand dyed yarn, this is the store for you! (or at least for me!)

Well - It's Friday night and I'm having a great time cropping at Amanda's house. We've had a lot of good food (and chocolate - what's a crop without chocolate?). I had to run some errands for my upcoming projects for possible publishing before I got here. I went to Home Depot to have someone help me cut some trim for my projects and was directed to the "Cut It Yourself Area" - that was quite an experience. Thank goodness for Lori. I couldn't have done it without her!!! Now it's REALLY late and Amanda and I are the only ones left. We're watching Footloose -believe it or not, I've never seen it. I hope you are all having a great Friday night. I'd love to hear about your events and crops. Well, I'm going to go - it's at a good part of the movie.
Til next time - Keep cropping!

A) be made on Monday
B) be about the lovely engagement brunch that The Boy's parents were going to throw us on Sunday
but, so very unfortunately, I ended up in the hospital on Sunday morning and stayed there well into Monday. Why I was there is a long, boring and kind of gross story so I'll keep it short: we thought it was appendicitis, and it wasn't. We don't know what it was, but it was awful.
So, in light of that craptastic sandwich of a situation, I thought I'd post a few things that I think are just lovely.
I love this picture:

I love that this happened:
I love this computer case:

I love this place:

I love The Boy.
I promised myself that even though we were engaged I would keep the blog from becoming a sappy love fest* but he was really lovely while I was in the hospital. Held my hand, fed me juice, slept by my hospital bed, filmed me while I was on morphine (a video is worth 4 words: "blinking is like...whoa"). If I eventually post the video of me doped up, will you forgive this momentary girly moment?
*because, to be honest, I hate that kind of shit.

the Presidential Election forthcoming
President Obama has been presented with a great luxury. While the Republican candidates for President are finding new ways to draw (political) blood, the President can remain free from the muck. The muck will of course come to him, but the longer the GOP folks fight amongst themselves, the more time Obama has to remind America why he inspired them in the first place: he is an awfully engaging, powerful campaigner. When full campaign mode comes, it won't be easy for President Obama, obviously. There will be a terrible, ugly fight. Just as Liberals shouldn't get too over-confident as Santorum and Romney say stupid thing after stupid thing, the GOP shouldn't forget who they are running against.
Just thinking strictly politically, if I were a Republican, I would worry that one these two:
will eventually have to engage with this guy:

Happy Post 4th of July, everyone!
As the weekend approached, I got an email from Michaels showing these way cool cupcakes that looked like little grills. I put my own touches to it but basically, they are the same. Here are the ones I made.
Here are the 'instructions':
Fill silver foil cupcake liners about 2/3 full with packaged cake mix.
After baking and cooling, level off the cupcakes with a knife so that they are flat.
Ice with dark Chocolate frosting. I used Dunken Hines' Whipped Dark Chocolate.
Sprinkle Red sanding sugar in the center to simulate hot coals.
Select Black ready to use Wilton icing. Using a round piping tip, evenly squeeze lines across the icing to simulate the grill bars. (Michaels suggested silver bars using a mix of black and white - I don't know about you guys, but my grill has been black since day one. lol)
For the candies, I used yellow Jelly Belly jelly beans, wrapped with the green part of fruit roll ups. Did you guys know how hard it is to find green fruit roll ups? I ended up having to buy a mixed box of 3 different types, and cut the green part off of a 'double-sided' kind. This is sorta what the box looked like, only mine didn't come with tatoos.
To make the steaks, I cut the caramels into 3rds so that they were thinner and pinched them in at the bottom a bit.
The hotdogs were the pink and red Mike and Ike candies. And the burgers were some random bug shaped gummies I'd found and pressed way into the icing.
To make the grill marks on the candy, used cake decorating pens. They came in a set of 4 different colors in the baking aisle. They didn't have black, so I ended up using blue and they seemed to work just fine.

Food fun - its Grill Time!

On the morning of the 4th, we were woken up to bombs blasting in air here in Midway. I forget that every year our city shoots off bombs/cannons of some sort at 6am. Scares you right out of bed. I drove my kids over to Oakley to attend the 4th of July parade. I've been going to this parade practically every year since I was a baby. My kids and I love it and Cody stays home, like usual, because he hates parades. As long as I still get to go, no big deal. : )
We had a BBQ with my family and one of Cody's cousins and her husband at our house that night. Midway puts on an amazing firework show for a small town and we have perfect seats on our front lawn. We did some sparklers and let the kids stay up for the fireworks off Memorial Hill.
|Brett, Alysa, Cody, Dan
|Grandma Sue and the babies, Blake and Ethan.
The following day we drove to the cabin, had dinner, and went to the Oakley rodeo. I must have failed to take a single picture, because none can be found. Maybe next year we won't have such wiggly worm children.
And their you have it, short and sweet.

Ok onto the subbing update!
I went to the school this morning. I checked in and went to Ms. S's classroom. Ms. S asked me if Mr. L had talked to me about a change in plans. Um not since Saturday.
Then she told me that when she got back to school yesterday (she took Tuesday off to go to the doctor), she had an email from a sub introducing herself as her long term sub. (What? HUH?)
So Ms. S emailed Mr. L asking if their was a change in plans that we didn't know about, explaining that I had been in on Monday, and we had a great day etc. He wrote back and said that he needed me in a kinder class starting Monday, and he just needed to talk to me about it again.
Ms. S said she almost called me last night from home and asked me if I knew about it, but she had left my number at school, and she knew I was coming by this morning. I had told her about my conversation with Mr. L from Saturday, when I was in there on Monday, but we both thought it was for the teacher that is out on disability. So we still didn't really know what was going on this morning.
So I walked back up to the office to talk to Mr. L. They have two certified teachers in each kinder class. The "parapro" teacher in the one room has to leave starting Monday (I didn't ask why).
Then he took me to meet the parapro, and then to meet the main teacher. I am going in next week even if my paperwork is not back to get my feet wet, and get started even if it is on a voluntary basis. (Even though I am hoping beyond hope that the paperwork is back by then).
I figure that if I go in and voluntarily work in there that will hopefully help me get a job for the fall. I came home today because I still have a headache from yesterday, and well there isn't really room for 3 teacher types in one kinder class.
Mr. L was so sweet, singing my praises to the kinder teacher and to everyone else that he introduced me to. I guess I made a decent impression the 2 times before today that I have talked to him.

Sonya and I met to discuss her marriage with Todd at Bread Company and I instantly fell in love with her. She is sooo bubbly and full of energy. She went on to tell me about how Todd was the love of her life and so great with her kids, plus he treated her like a princess. So, I was so excited to meet Todd and the whole family! Enjoy pictures from their session!
Love Todd sweetly kissing his bride-to-be:
The whole family...and I might just add here that they are ALL awesome. One of the sweetest families ever! Loved working with them all!
Todd really does love Sonya. Love how sweetly he looks at her!
FAV of the family!
These two love being around each other. The whole time they were laughing! It was a great session to be part of!
Bailey is a ham! He was giving me the biggest smiles...and I might add putting on his charm, too! He was cracking me up!
Ah, and Abby, such a sweet girl. She gave me the most natural, gorgeous smile here!

Usually when I find a bird on the ground outside I look straight to Daphne, our one million year old mutt, because she is the Bird Killer.
|She looks vicious, right?
She might have not been the one to cause it this time. Reason 1, I can't find the nest to put this chirping baby back into, so I don't know how she would have.
Let's get things straight, I am completely co dependent and seeing poor baby animals unable to fend for themselves creates huge amounts of anxiety.
We scooped the baby bird up(with gloves, of course) and went searching for a nest to put him back into. We found not one stinkin' nest.
Anxiety going up.
We found a plastic container and lined it with paper towels. Put the bird in there and put it back under the bush where the bird was. We witnessed the mama bird trying to feed it when we first saw it out of the window, so we figured she would keep feeding it if we just kept it in the same spot.
|This is before creating the fake nest
We were right. Score 1.
Anxiety coming down a bit.
While I had R playing bird spy at the window so that earlier mentioned Cold Blooded Killer Dog wouldn't maim the poor thing, I looked up every number and contact I could find for our county. Good news: found 4 hotlines or direct numbers. Bad news: hotline is automated and direct lines didn't answer.
Anxiety moving right back up.
I finally heard back from the rehabber (as I was told) and she said she wouldn't be home for awhile. Have me a number to call, they didn't answer.
Seriously?! I am trying to save a life here, people!!
I made lunch for the kids while staring out of the window the entire time. Finally, I get a call back from the rescue place. He told me I had done everything correctly.
What? Just call me frickin' Diego.
The only thing we needed to do was to poke holes in the bottom of the container and then put it up higher in the hedges away from Killer. So, we had take the baby bird out again, create a fake little nest and put him in the middle of the hedges.
We watched the mama bird feed him when he was under the bush and we waited for her to find him higher up. She did.
All is well right now in the bird rescue world.
|Nestled snugly in the hedges
|Charlie Chirpy
|He's pretty darn cute, right?
Let's hope it stays this way because I don't think I can handle the suspense.

From the archives: Bonsecours Market, Crystal Palace were early showplaces
This story was first published on April 25, 1992, in the Montreal Gazette.
EXPO 67 was an international exhibition on the grand scale. But it was by no means the first exhibition held in this city. We've been inviting people to come and show their stuff here for well over a century.
The first exhibitions as we understand the term were Victorian affairs, and their focus was local rather than international. The Bonsecours Market, which opened in 1847, provided an ideal venue. The vast market building was used for a manufacturing and industrial show in 1851, for an exhibit by the Natural History Society of Montreal in 1855 and, later that year, for a preview of exhibits bound for the London Industrial Exhibition of 1856.
But the show that caused the greatest sensation in 19th-century Montreal came in 1860. The Victoria Bridge had just been completed and Albert Edward, the Prince of Wales and future King Edward VII, would officially open it Aug. 25. Leading figures in the city proposed that an exhibition of industry and the arts be held at the same time, also to be opened by the prince. A special building, the Crystal Palace, was erected on Ste. Catherine St. W. near the corner of University St. Though much reduced in scale, it was inspired by the famous glass-and-steel structure of the same name built for the Great Exhibition in London in 1851.
The Montreal version was about as big as a good-sized church. Like the London building, its silhouette suggested an enormous greenhouse, though far less glass was used in its exterior walls and none in its barrel-shaped roof. Even so, it was well lit by tall, rounded windows, and the ornamental woodwork on the outside made the structure look especially exotic.
So rushed was its construction that there wasn't enough time to unpack all the exhibits before the prince's arrival. However, this had the advantage of leaving more room for the press of guests.
At last the great day arrived. The prince came ashore from his steamboat, and carriages brought him to the Crystal Palace. People cheered as he drew up and entered the spanking-new building. An organ pealed, and a choir sang God Save the Queen. Some speech- making followed, and then the royal progress through the exhibition hall began.
The prince – and all those who were to crowd in during the days that followed – saw paintings, displays of minerals (including a seam of coal 12 metres long) and a collection of furs and skins. At one point, the prince stepped out on to a balcony and was greeted by wild cheering from Ste. Catherine St. below. The tour over, the exhibition was declared open and, following the precedent of the 1851 exhibition in London, the choir broke into Handel's Hallelujah Chorus.
In subsequent years, the Crystal Palace served not only as an exhibition hall but also as an auditorium, a military drill hall and even a hostel: in 1874, accommodation was provided for 844 people in town for the St. Jean Baptiste Day celebrations.
In 1878, the Crystal Palace was bought by the Quebec government, dismantled and moved to Fletcher's Field at the eastern foot of Mount Royal, well away from Montreal's rapidly expanding downtown. It still was used for exhibitions of various sorts, but in 1891 it took on a new role.
In that year, the Montreal Exhibition Co. revived the provincial fall fair, which had been suspended for seven years; the Crystal Palace would be the fair's centrepiece. The organizers did their best, frequently repairing and repainting the structure over the next few years. But it was prosaically called the Main Building by then, and several old photographs show it looking a little forlorn, hard-pressed to live up to its colourful past while serving as a glorified barn.
In fact, its days were numbered. Early in the morning of July 30, 1896, fire broke out in a small building at the fairgrounds where some tramps camped inside had been carelessly smoking. The blaze spread to the nearby Crystal Palace, where its tinder-dry wood and a high wind made the firefighters' task next to impossible. By morning, it was a smoldering ruin. It was never rebuilt.

Wow, Aly's school did finally have their first snow day on Friday. Between the past two storms we think there may have been an accumulation of about 5 ft of snow... Here is a picture of the front of the house the other day:We planned to visit the glacier and see some wonderful things on Saturday but instead it turned into a work day shoveling the driveway, side of the house and a trail to the fuel tank in back... AND several of the men from the neighborhood worked on the common area trying to get it clear so there will be room to drive cars through. Here are some pictures of that job.
It is a little difficult to see at a glance how deep the snow is, but when you see these men that are nearly 6 feet tall out there, it puts it into perspective. (You can see the driveways down the street too, the snow is higher than the cars!!!)
(In the second picture Mike is on top of the snow pile, Andy is on the ground and Brian is in the truck.)

Gentle Readers,
More great news from St. Ann's in Charlotte. Today Fr. Reid announced that next week's 12.30pm Palm Sunday Mass will be a Missa Solemnis, with 3 clerics chanting the Passion Gospel.
In addition, he said that Easter will be a Missa Cantata. How lucky we are here in Charlotte!
One piece of disappointing news was that today Mass was not as well attended as the past two weeks. Hopefully this is not a trend, but an anomaly, and that the attendance will return to its prior numbers, or more, during Easter and beyond.
Please continuing to pray for all those who make all this Missae possible... most especially Fr. Reid, the Altar Servers, and the Musicians.
