I used to design and build glass, in a Stained Glass Overlay ( SGO ) studio. I got these little glass trinkets when I worked there. I thought they would make really great earrings. They are all glass, and I am pretty sure one pair are Swarovski (c). They are on sterling silver posts with sterling ear nuts. I made a couple pairs for me, and they are just gorgeous. Understated, yet elegant and they kind of glow.

Bead Embroidery Tips & More Pictures of Edward
As I said, Edward Scissor Fish is very dimensional. You can see his little suede lined mouth in this picture. That is where the scissors are supposed to go. I love his top fin, I got it to be very wavy. It is two layers thick, and when you stagger the layers, you can coax the fin into a wave shape. I am not sure I like the picture of him on his belly. He looks a little dead. I am going to pretend that he just rolled over so as to show off his gorgeous turquoise and copper belly diamond.
Private collection
So I have been working on the bead embroidered bracelet that I showed you a couple of post ago. I have been thinking about technique quite a bit, and thought I would share some of my favorite tips.
- I do not ever use beeswax as my thread conditioner when working in bead embroidery. It is way too sticky, and builds up on the fabric. Beeswax is normally my conditioner of choice, but it does not work well on fabric. For bead embroidery, I use Thread Heaven. You can get this at your local bead shop, any store that sells sewing supplies, or Fire Mountain Gems. It works well at strengthening the thread, and preventing a lot of fraying while you work, and does not leave a sticky residue on the fabric.
- I work with a fairly short piece of thread. Normally, I work with the longest piece of thread I can, often 3-4 yards at a time, undoubled. I have found that I am able to handle the length (not too many tangles), and I usually do not have any undue wear on the thread as I get to the end. If I find I am doing the frog stitch(rip it rip it out) too much, and it is getting frayed, I cut it off, but that does not usually happen. With bead embroidery it is a different story. I think it is because it is going through the fabric as well as the beads, and if you are using the correct size needle, the thread is just fitting through the hole you have created, and this makes for extra wear. So when doing bead embroidery, I generally start with about a yard, maybe a yard and a half. Part of why I work with long threads is that I hate securing thread, in and out of a piece. If you look at my entry in TCDesignsArtBlog.blogspot.com about the Eagle Feather Amulet Bag I made for my father, you can see how many knots I counted. That is a lot of weaving in and out! When you are working on a fabric background you do not need to weave through a bazillion beads to secure thread ends, you just make a knot and sew right through.
- Sew back through anything you think might be vulnerable. I have owned so many bead embroidered pieces of clothing or pillows, or curtains, or... that after a little handling, the beads start falling off. A piece of jewelry is especially vulnerable. If you are making a wall hanging, or something that will not get any wear, then you do not need to worry so much about this.
- Knot everything when you are done. As you work on a row, or a small section, and you come to the end, knot the thread. You do not need to start a new piece of thread, you just need to secure the small part you were working on. This way, if the thread does break one day, not everything you sewed with that piece of thread is going to fall off. A client will not be devastated if a few beads fall off and that needs to be fixed, but if large sections fall off, that does not look good, and is expensive for you to fix. You can see the catch-twenty-two here. The more you secure, the better in the long run, but if you knot after every bead, you will spend way too long on one piece, and that is not cost effective either.
- If you are working with sharp edged beads, you need to figure out a way to deal with them. That can be as labor intensive as sanding every last one, or you can pad them top and bottom with other beads. The last option ensures that the sharp beads do not come in contact with the thread, but it is not always the look you are aiming for.

Edward Scissor Fish
Private collection
This most amazing creature is Edward Scissor Fish. He was a kit from Beadalot Enterprises Inc. (they seem to no longer exist), although I added a little and changed a little. I just love him!
He is probably my favorite of all of my "odd little figures" that sit in a happy group where I can always see them. He was intended as a scissor fob. His mouth is lined with suede and embroidery scissors will fit right in. He is not practical as a scissor fob for someone who lives with cats. Cats that think beading is all about them. I rescued him three times from a furry ones mouth, and decided he could go up with my oddities instead!
He is completely handmade. He came with a pattern, fabric, and beads. He is completely decorated with bead embroidery, head to toe, ummm... tail, and truly just gorgeous, if I do say so myself. There is a view here of his top and belly. He is kind of squashed, so I need to get a picture of him sitting up. You can not see his top fin so well, or how his mouth opens.

Bead Embroidery
So, I thought I would show you a piece in progress. I am making this bracelet using bead embroidery. This is a technique I really love. I have not done as much of it as I would like.
For some great instructions look at the book Beaded Embellishment: Techniques & Designs for Embroidery on Cloth (Beadwork How-To series) by: Amy C. Clarke, Robin Atkins
That is a really great book, it will work if you are new to bead embroidery, and it will serve as great inspiration if you are experienced, and who knows, you might still learn something new.
The bracelet, as it stands now, looks really garish. What you are seeing is my drawing of the design. I do that first so I have a general idea of what I would like it too look like, and there are less surprises along the way. It may be that I will not follow my pattern after all, but it is there for guidelines.
The "fabric" I am doing the embroidery on, is called Lacy's Stiff Stuff. It is a really great substrate for embroidery. It takes glue well, you can draw on it with various implements, and it is nice and stiff (so it will hold up to the weight of the beads), but the needle glides right through. You can find it at your local bead shop, or click on the name to go to Jane's Fiber and Beads, order page for it.
I decided on the size and general design of the bracelet, made a paper pattern, and then used that to cut out a piece of Lacy's Stiff Stuff. I glued down my centerpiece bead, a piece of Mookalite Jasper, and then used Sharpie pens to flesh out the design.
I knew that I wanted a hidden clasp, so decided to make it the same size and shape of the Mookalite. I am using a really great little clasp. It is a little unusual, in that it was designed to be a purse clasp. I will cut slits in the Lacy's Stiff Stuff, push the prongs through, squeeze in a little glue behind the clasp, place the washer over the prongs, and then bend them down to secure. I will use beads to cover up the washer and prongs on the top side.
I made a lot of color choices for this bracelet! I came up with many "bead soup" mixes (random puddles of beads, in harmonious colors) and some single colors to use on their own. My guess would be that I will not use all of the mixes nor will I use all of the colors, single or already mixed in. We will see! I think I will stop writing, right now, and go work on the bracelet. It is whispering at me. Does your bead work do that? Mine always has!

Caterpillar Bracelet
The Caterpillar Bracelet is a lush and wonderful bracelet of looped fringe . I know it does not excite everyone, but it is done in one of my favorite color combinations, purples, pink, tangerines, and aqua. It has a centerpiece of a handmade beaded bead and has a hidden sew-on-snap clasp.
It measures 7" (closed) x 1 3/4" wide.
The beaded bead is from a kit I bought from Beadalot Enterprises Inc. They do not seem to exist any longer. If anyone knows anything about them, post a comment and let us know!

More Design Ideas (too many ideas, not enough time)
Here is another picture of something I would like to re-create. I have this wonderful book by Diane Fitzgerald, called The Beaded Garden. She does an amazing thistle in it. One of these days I am going to try.
This photo of a thistle was taken in the Hall Office Park in Frisco, that is covered in beautiful fields and much, much art, mainly large scale sculpture.
This photo I took of one of the fiberglass roses that are scattered about, looks like something you could make into jewelry. I have never thought too hard about what or how... But it has possibilities.
Saturday, June 21, 2008
My Father sent me this great postcard he made. I want so much to make something that looks like this little creature.
It was funny, at the time he sent it, I was furiously working on the Basket for Dad's Eggs. That little basket was done in almost exactly the same jewel tones, as the frog in the picture. I told him I was working on it, and he would understand later. I am thinking that what I might try with this little guy, is starting with one of the childs rubber frogs. They take paint really well. I have made lizards that way, and then wrapped them in wire strung with beads. I would like the frog to be more solidly beaded than that, though.
If anyone has any ideas. leave me a comment. I will respond to all!
As I figure this out, I will post pictures of course.

Maple Leaf Bagette
Private collection
The Maple Leaf Bagette was a commission. I am really pleased with the way it turned out. I like the neck strap especially, and the sort of hour-glass shape of the bagette. It was done in all earth tones, with shades of fall leaves, in a brick stitch. I was very careful to protect the thread from the sharp edges of the bugle beads. You can see that all of the bugles are padded top and bottom, by other beads.
Power Outage Woes
Picture of the rain
Well that was a long absence... We had a big storm which took out an even bigger tree, which took out three utility poles. The upshot was, no power for two days! I could not even get on to post a quick note through my phone, because my phone was out of juice. But we are back in business, thank goodness, and I am reveling in the use of electricity, in moderation of course.

Bead & Button's Right-Angle Weave Issue
I got the best magazine in the mail the other day! It is a special issue of Bead and Button Magazine, all about right-angle weave. They put this together so well, and there are a couple of projects I would really like to make.
If you mouse over the picture of the magazine and click on it, it will take you to the order page for it, and there are pictures of some of the projects in the magazine there. The third picture down is a Slide Pendant by Cindy Kinerson of Reno Bead Shop. It is so cool! I am going to take myself through the instructions in the magazine and then attempt to make the pendant, and will post pictures as I go.
The basic instructions seem really good, and there are some great tips and hints by renowned bead artist David Chatt, take a look at his website, it is just amazing!
I realized as I was going through the magazine, that I have been working off and on for years now, on a piece that is right angle weave. I thought I did not know how to do it at all. I was wrong, the magazine was still worth it. The piece is a beaded scarf. It will be very long, so it can be worn dangling down the back of someone wearing a backless gown. It will have Swarovski (c) crystals for the fringe on the ends, and is done in all silver-lined, dusty pink. Really elegant and really sparkly!

Blackberry Pearl Ring
Who doesn't love pearls? This ring is made from a natural freshwater blackberry pearl. It is on elastic with Bali silver, German glass, and sterling silver findings. It is a size 9 1/2, but stretches to a size 10. It has always reminded me of a Claddagh ring (see Wikipedia) . The pearl is flat on the back, so it lays flat on your finger, either pointing to your heart, or away...

Leaf Bracelet
work starting with charting a design. I had been working intuitively up to this point. It is a complete logic shift to start by drawing a chart and mapping out a word chart. I found with a repeating pattern, sometimes it works well to make one piece of it, (see above) get a photo or scan of it, and print it, so you can see how it will look repeated, and what the spacing needs to be to fit the wrist you are working around. As a side note, when doing that, I decided I liked the look of one leaf, and that was the start of the Leaf Change-a-Bead Necklace.
I did some experimenting on this piece as well. I wanted an edging for it, but wanted something that looked organic. I came up with this, sort of blanket stitch, around the edge. I was really pleased, and thought it looked like a tree branch, sort of...
I also learned an important lesson, with this bracelet about sharp edges on beads, that I will talk about in an upcoming entry.

Swarovski (c) Cha Cha Ring
You've got to love Swarovski (c) ! There is nothing else like it. You should see this ring in the sunlight, the rainbows are incredible.
It has 17 cranberry, plum, and amber colored Swarovski (c) crystals. They are all hand wrapped on sterling silver ball pins, and attached to a stainless steel "cha cha" ring band.
The band is naturally a size seven, but stretches to a size 8.
(A "cha cha" band is like an expandable watch band, but has loops on some of the links to attach things. On these rings there are three very stuffed loops.)

The finish on Delicas
For this post, I thought I would answer a question I got in a comment on my last entry.
In the previous post, Purple Plaid Rings, I talked about the fact that the finish wore off of some of the beads that I used. I think it is important to note that I used the same beads for the bracelet, and they took a lot longer to wear than the rings did. A necklace would take even longer, and sculpture, if kept out of direct sunlight, would probably be OK.
Please understand, that I am not an expert, I am just speaking from my own experience.
That said, galvanized beads are plated with zinc, and that plating will wear off. Any bead marked dyed, will not be safe with out sealing. The problem is that a lot of companies do not mark which of the beads they carry, are dyed. My personal experience is that silver-lined can also be an issue.I have found that when I am working with silver-lined, and using beeswax as thread conditioner (you should always condition any thread you work with, that is not preconditioned), that if I keep having to do the frog stitch (rip it rip it, out) I will wear the finish right out of the bead. If I do not have to rework a piece over and over, silver-lined seems to do fine, once the piece is finished.
Beadies Beadwork (click on their name for a link) has a good description of the finish on Delica (c) beads. I feel like, at some point, there was somebody else out there with good descriptions and warnings. I will look for that and if I can find it, post it later.
After you have had a bead around for a while, one thing to look for is, has the baggie it is stored in started turning the color of the bead. If so, that bead has been dyed.
But truly, the only way to know for sure, is to test them.
Stitch up as small square in peyote or brick (something tightly woven so you will get a definitive front and back result in the sunlight test) of the beads you want to test. Put them in a bowl of water, and liquid dish washing soap, and scrub them around. Compare to unwashed beads of the same color and look to see if the water has changed color. If they have changed, you can stop right there, and know that you will need to seal the beads before using. If they have not, then take them outside and put them somewhere they can be in direct sunlight undisturbed for a couple of days. I taped mine to my porch railing, making sure that the majority of the beads were not covered by the tape. If you find that they have faded, then you need to seal them with something.
What seems to work best for sealing beads is this. Before using them, place in large ziplock and spray with your favorite artist fixative (do not breath the fumes coming back up out of the bag). Seal the bag up and shake vigorously, keep them moving and work them between your fingers so they get evenly coated, and do not stick together. Then use!

Purple Plaid Rings
Private collection
This is just not a good representation of these rings, but here it is anyway. They are odd little things to begin with, but I liked them. I made them to go with the Purple Plaid Bracelet I made for myself (one of the few pieces I do not mind making over and over).
Unfortunately, I did not get documentation of them when they were new, so you can see they have some wear. I learned something important with these rings. Fire Mountain Gems (one of my favorite resources), does not mark which of their Delicas (c) are not colorfast. I know to stay away from any thing that says it is galvanized, but as you can see on the top ring, the purple bead has rubbed off and turned blue. I now seal the beads first, and that solves that problem.

Black & White Square Stitch Bracelet
Private collection
This bracelet turned out so graphic and cool looking. It was tiny, at least compared to my wrist. I think it measured about 5 1/2" x 1", with it's silver-toned hook & eye clasp. This stitch done in thread is very supple and fabric like, even in the chunky triangle beads it is made with.
Snowflake Beads
Private collection
Please excuse the threads in this picture. I had not attached the beaded beads to anything, wanted the threads intact.
I had made a kit from (some place I am currently blanking on, they seem to no longer exist, but I will look for their name and post it), that was beaded friendship flowers. Making those got me going, and I made a bunch more using different kinds of beads. These are all vintage German pressed glass, and turned out quite lovely, but... I did not realize how rough the edges of the holes were and they frayed the thread. I had to go back and smooth out all the holes and remake them.
Cool thing is, I sent this picture to my father, and as a surprise he had postage made for me with the beads on them. I used them for my Christmas cards the next year. Really fun what you can do with US postage these days! And what you can do with beading!

Shell Ring with Czech Fire Polish & Swarovski (c) Crystals
The shell ring is a very unique piece. It's centerpiece is a shell (N) that has been cut and polished, but not dyed. The band is made of Swarovski (c) crystals, Czech fire polish beads, and sterling silver findings. It is a size 6 1/2 ring, but because it is on elastic, will stretch to a 7 1/2.

Black, White and Pink Bracelet
Set of Three Herringbone Bracelets-Water Colors
A set of three, in teal, purple, and montana blue, these bracelets are
just plain fun. They measure 7 3/4" x 3/16", with clasp. The clasp is a
silver-toned magnetic closure with an olive glass, leaf dangle. They are done in tubular herringbone, with tiny glass, color lined, triangle beads on Nymo (c) thread. A really fun summer bracelet set!

Eagle Feather Amulet Bag
Private collection
Once again, I had to answer the question, "What do you bead for the men in your life?" I made this amulet bag for my Dad, for Fathers Day a few years ago.
I tried very hard to keep it as masculine as possible. The fringe got a little out of hand, but I could not help myself. I could just see what it would look like in my head, if I only added this, and then this, and then made the pattern in it, do this... So, it has more fringe than I intended.
It is quite large, although I could wear it comfortably because the chain is long enough to support it.
For my dads purposes, I made a shadow box with hinges on the back and put the amulet bag in with U pins, so that he could hang it on the wall, but could also take it out easily to show off.
The piece took about 120 hours of actual beading, plus many more designing, and troubleshooting. I learned a stitch that was new to me for the strap, it is called a Dayna Chain. It is a great looking chain, it undulates with different sized beads, but either the stitch or the thread I tried for the first time, Silamide (c), made my fingers bleed. Or maybe it was a combination.
Anyway, I am quite proud of it, and I think the fringe is the best I have done to date.
To see some journaling about the process of making this amulet bag, go to my art blog at TCDesignsArtBlog.blogspot.com

I've heard that making one half of my minimum payment twice a month pays off my card debt quicker. Is that true?
Yes. Interest accrues on a credit card everyday that you carry a balance on the card after the date payment is due on the card. By paying half of the minimum amount due before the date payment is due, interest is not accruing on the amount you paid. By paying twice a month, you are essentially reducing the interest you are paying in the long run and paying off the balance sooner.
How do you lower your credit card payoff amount when you are in good standing with your credit card company? I tried and they said I have to be in default before they would negotiate with me.
Often it's only those people that are deep in debt and have defaulted on a debt who are eligible to settle for less than the amount owed. By staying current with your creditors and making payments each month, you are protecting your credit and maintaining good credit. This will help you in the future when you want to obtain additional credit.
My husband, an active duty Marine, and I have credit card debt. I'm concerned that our debt will affect my husband's military rank. How do we move forward?
Because your husband is an active duty Marine, you and your husband may be entitled to exercise your rights under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA). The SCRA provides numerous protections to members of the military engaged in active duty as well as the military member's spouse.
The SCRA allows active duty military personnel and their spouses to reduce interest rates on credit card debt to 6% during the time of active duty service as long as the debt was incurred prior to the military personnel entering active duty. In order to take advantage of this provision, you need to provide written notice to each credit card provider requesting the interest rate be reduced as required by the SCRA. You will also need to provide a copy of your husband's military orders calling him to active duty.
Can debt collectors continue to try to collect a debt after the statute of limitations period has expired?
The statute of limitations dictates the amount of time within which a lawsuit may be filed against a consumer to collect a debt. Each state has its own statute of limitations, and the time frame may be different if the contract creating the debt is in writing, is verbal, or if the debt is a credit card debt or other kind of debt. Statutes of limitation start running usually on an account's last activity. Statutes of limitation may also stop and can be revived, depending on state law, with a partial payment or a written promise to repay the debt. In addition, the statute of limitations is often suspended if a consumer leaves the state, resides within the state under an assumed name, or is incarcerated.
According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), when the statute of limitations has expired, a collector may continue to request payment on the debt, but the collector cannot threaten the consumer with legal action because the collector can no longer sue the consumer for the debt.

we haven't even left yet and the craziness that is india is already affecting us. my dear friends lauren & tara came to visit this weekend and because we were already going to be running around houston, we decided that we would theoretically swing by and pick up Preston & I's passports from the visa processing company.
if you know anything about india, you can probably already guess that this was NOT a simple task. we started out at the old office on Westheimer Rd. (if you know Houston, this is going to add even more to this story, if you don't, i'll do my best to explain). We get there and there is a handwritten sign on the door that says something to the effect of "this office no longer exists, don't send mail here". Fabulous. So i call the number that called us to tell us that our visas were ready to pick up. My dear friend Travis at Travisa tells me that he doesn't have the exact address where i need to go, but it's right off of 610 and if i google it, i should be able to find it. Awesome.
I google it. And it's about 10 miles away, which translates to 30 minutes in Houston friday afternoon time. We get there. Sketchy office building #2. Walk into the suite and there's 2 ladies there that are all like, "what are you doing here?" They tell us that the office we actually need to be at is also off of 610 but further up on the feeder. I.e turn around and it's less than a mile away but you're going to have to go around & there's construction so it's going to take at least 15 minutes.
Sketchy office building #3. It's actually an office that looks like we could pick up our visas at! Except it is 2:50pm and they are on lunch. And say they can't release our visas until 4:30. If they have them. At 3pm the lady agrees to help me. She takes my case number & everything & goes to look for them. She comes back and says that she has no idea where they are and she has looked everywhere that she is allowed to look. We'll have to wait until the one guy that has the power to look elsewhere gets back from lunch. And no, she has no idea when that will be.
I go outside to call my dear friend Travis at Travisa while we're waiting. He asks for my case number, etc. And says, "oh. actually it looks like we have them at our office." So i'm all "ARE YOU SURE?!?" He assures me that he does have both of them. So we make the 30 minute, 10 mile trek back to the area that we came from in the first place.
Actually normal looking office building #1. We arrive. Climb 6 flights of stairs with a pregnant lady. Only to have to go back down 3 flights to enter the building. Enter a super busy office suite and they do have our passports! Hallelujah!
And there you have it, such a true depiction of how india works (even in the US). Our friend Karis showed us an article a while back about life in india. She describes living in India as
being in a very intense, extremely dysfunctional relationship. India and I fight, we scream, we argue, we don't speak for days on end, but really, deep down, we love each other. She's a strange beast, this India. She hugs me, so tightly sometimes that I can't breathe, then she turns and punches me hard in the face, leaving me stunned. Then she hugs me again, and suddenly I know everything will be all right. – Catherine Taylor
Oh, india. My heart has never been more ready to meet you again. rājā'ōṁ ā rahē haiṁ.

Hundreds of millions of dollar jackpots
These huge jackpots increase ticket sales to a sky high level. On the games that have very high odds of winning, it is probably best to play these ones only when the jackpot is very, very high. This happens when nobody wins the jackpot for several weeks or even months. I have used a figure of near $500 million for the national jackpots when a $1 or $2 ticket seems to be worth it at that point, otherwise I play just the state lottery games with lower odds.

Troopers Investigate Parking Lot Robbery
Presented by Public Information Officer, Master Corporal Jeffrey R. Hale
Wilmington (19808) – The Delaware State Police are currently investigating an armed robbery which occurred in the parking lot of a Wilmington area shopping center yesterday evening.
The initial investigation has determined that the incident occurred on Saturday, January 7, 2017 at approximately 6:18 p.m., as a male victim was in the process of clearing snow off of his vehicle which was parked in front of the Moe's Southwest Grill, located at 4717 Kirkwood Highway, Wilmington. It was then that the victim was approached by a male suspect who demanded that he turn over his property to him. The victim then began to struggle with the suspect and subsequently ended up on the ground. The suspect then produced a knife which caused the victim to stop struggling. He then proceeded to remove an undisclosed amount of money from the victim's pocket before fleeing on foot. The suspect was last seen running with a second unidentified male suspect in a westbound direction along Kirkwood Highway toward Limestone. The victim was not injured.
The suspect was described as a black male. He was 25-35 years of age, 5'11"-6'01" tall, weighed 200-225 lbs., and was last seen wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt, black jacket, dark pants, and had a mask covering his face. There is no further physical or clothing description available. No video surveillance photos are available at this time.
If anyone has any information in reference to this incident they are asked to contact the Robbery Unit at Troop 2 at 302-365-8566. Information may also be provided by calling Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333, via the internet at www.delaware.crimestoppersweb.com, or by sending an anonymous tip by text to 274637 (CRIMES) using the keyword "DSP."

Caitlin and Jared get married!!
October 9, 2009...wedding day! We had a wonderful time celebrating with Cait and Jared. They make such a beautiful couple--we are so happy they found each other and are overjoyed to welcome Jared into our CRAZY family!!

pre-wedding fun!
All the girls went to get pedicures the day before Cait's wedding day--so much fun--we've never done that all together before. We had such a good time spending the day together.

visitors from the bayou...
Johnny's parent's were able to come for a visit for a few days and see our new home. We took them to Eden(our favorite little town), Antelope Island(to see some buffalo) and went for a visit to my Grandpa's house in Morgan to pick apples from his tree. It was a nice visit--and Avery especially enjoyed her time with Grandma--as she sat by Avery for hours while Avery colored page after page...gotta love Grandma's--they seem to have more patience than Mom's!

Sunday, October 11, 2009
We had been telling Avery (and Gage and Madison) that we would take them camping...so, before the weather got TOO bad, we finally took a weekend trip to the Uintas. Well, let's just say...the weather did get TOO bad...it rained and rained... Gage still got to fish with Johnny and the girls had a blast playing in the tent. It was a really cold, wet weekend, but we survived--with some yummy food and huddling close together in the tent! :)

Park City
Johnny and I were able to take a weekend by ourselves and go to Park City. We had a blast!! The weather was gorgeous and we just fully enjoyed every minute. We walked Main st., had a great meal there and then shopped at the Outlets. Sunday morning we went to a little street fair/Farmer's Market on Main St. and then layed by the pool for a while--it was wonderful!!

Bridal Shower
Jared's family gave Caitlin a bridal shower a couple weeks ago. I can't believe my baby sister is married (I've kinda slacked on blogging...she is MARRIED now!!) The shower was lots of fun and it was great to meet more of Jared's family.

Takoma Gardener: Jerry Baker, "America's Master Gardener" or Master Quack?
The Takoma Gardener blog has taken off against Jerry Baker and his magical household formulas for the garden. I remember looking at one of Baker's first books and wondering about some of the stuff he puts in his potions. I don't recall what all was in them. I do remember Epsom salts, which are good for roses in the early spring, and at some point he added asprin, which is chemically similar to the chemical signals plants send out when stressed, which puts other plants on the defense.
But my goodness, now he's pumping the whole yard and the soil, too, full of mouthwash, antiseptic, dish soap, and tobacco water. Mr. Baker, what's up with that? Are you worried that our gardens might be dirty? Well, here's news: the bacteria and dirt are supposed to be there.
Now tobacco water -- that brings back memories of my grandmother soaking my father's old cigarette butts in a bucket of water and spraying the resulting juice on her garden. Ah, what a bug killer that was. Toxic nicotine, one of the deadliest poisons on the planet. Eventually my dad got the message and quit. Smoking bug poison isn't a good idea.
As for Mr. Baker, well, it seems his PR people are proclaiming: "Get the latest scoop straight from the bloggers!" Well, here 'tis: Jerry Baker is a Quack with a capital Q.
Read Takoma Gardener's post, and pass it on.

My five favorite non-veg cooking blogs-yes, I read non-vegan/vegetarian blogs 🙂
1. Sprouted Kitchen
I adore the way Sarah writes. We have similar taste in vegetables and fruits, her husband is the amazing photographer for her blog, and when appropriate, Sarah makes suggestions for how to make something vegan instead of vegetarian. While this blog sometimes does feature animals as food, it mostly focuses on seasonal produce. With gorgeous pictures and interesting stories, this is easily one of my all time favorite blogs.
2. Can You stay for Dinner?
Andie writes beautifully. She's also lost half of herself (literally-she lost 135 lbs and has maintained her weight loss for 5 years). Normally weight loss blogs are not appealing to me, but Andie focuses on enjoying what you like to eat, but practicing the self control not to over eat. Her photographs are gorgeous and her writing is witty and easy to relate to. I think you'll enjoy her blog. But don't judge it by the top post, normally there are not camera pictures on this blog! Read her story and prepare to be blown away. This girl has really changed her life and her health!
3. Not So Humble Pie
Mother Humble has nothing to apologize for and nothing to be humble about when it comes to creating desserts that will break hearts and make children and old folks alike smile. While I've never seen a vegan recipe on this site, the recipes are truly inspirational. The gorgeous photographs only add to the delicious sounding concoctions. I've veganized several recipes from this site and I've never been disappointed. If you need inspiration for desserts, this is where you should go.
4. Hungry, Hungry Hippie
I was hesitant to list this blog, as it is mostly vegan and vegetarian. But it isn't completely and I just adore Elise's story telling skills and reading about her travels, so I had to include it. I think I may have her on my blog roll now that I think about it…Anyways, if you love seeing pictures of other countries and reading about an nurse who loves to travel, you should definitely subscribe to Elise's feed. If I make a vegan/veg list, she'll probably be on it as a bonus 🙂
5. Orangette I hope this doesn't need a description…but go check it out, you can thank me later. Suffice it to say: gorgeous, entertaining, witty.

I have a few different approaches I take when I'm creating vegan and vegetarian versions of traditionally non-vegan and vegetarian dishes. There are some dishes that I like to recreate in a way that's as true to the original as possible. So success would mean it might fool someone into thinking they're not eating vegan or vegetarian. I did this with my vegan fettuccine kalefredo. And then there are dishes where I take some inspiration from the traditional non-vegan or vegetarian version, and totally switch things up by using ingredients that maybe just vaguely resemble the meat or dairy-based ingredients.
Cioppino is an Italian-American stew that I never knew exited back when I ate meat, but basically it involves a garlicky tomato base, lots of wine, and a nice variety of seafood. The seafood can vary from batch to batch, and I've heard cooks say they typically go with the "catch of the day." So when I set out to create a vegan version, I thought, "Why not just go with the veggie (or veggies) of the day?" That's just what I did.
Zucchini, and peppers will be in season pretty soon, and both go deliciously with tomato and garlic. Shiitake mushrooms have a meaty feel to me, with lots of savory flavor, but they still have a light and delicate texture, kind of like seafood, so I threw them in as well. Some chickpeas round out the stew and make it hearty enough to make a meal of—especially if you serve it up with some crusty bread, which is kind of a must for cioppino.
Feel free to switch up the ingredients in this one based on what's in season or what you have on hand. Eggplant could easily stand in for the mushrooms, yellow squash or asparagus for the zucchini, and kidney or cannellini beans for the chickpeas.

Next year's school calendar for the Clintonville School District wasn't an action item on the agenda, but it generated almost an hour's worth of discussion at the school board meeting Monday, Jan. 12.
Clintonville School District Superintendent Tom O'Toole started the discussing by informing everyone in attendance that the new law states a school year is determined by a minimum number of hours, not days, like it had been in the past.
He also shared several news stories from around the state about school districts that are struggling to develop a school calendar for next year.
"Much of what I'm going to try and emphasize is when you develop the calendar it's a hugely local decision. It's a hugely board decision on what you want to have as components of your calendar and what you feel are high priorities," O'Toole said.
O'Toole said the calendar presented at the last board meeting included input from the beginning of the year, and the notion the district should conclude its school year by Memorial Day. In order to make that work, things had to be sacrificed.
"You can squeeze a calendar between Labor Day and Memorial Day, at least next year," O'Toole said. "It's very, very tight though."
He said the calendar presented in December wasn't perfect, and added that any calendar isn't going to be perfect.
Since that time, O'Toole said input was sought from staff members in the district.
Generally, staff didn't like the early August inservice days. Staff liked having the Wednesday before Thanksgiving off. Staff liked both A.M. and P.M. parent teacher conferences. Staff also wanted a day off in between semesters.
O'Toole again emphasized that the school calendar is a local board decision. He added that it isn't legal to negotiate the calendar with teachers.
"You can get input but you can't negotiate, there's no provision for that," O'Toole said.
O'Toole said if the district is interested in creating a calendar that is best for students, and one that promotes achievement and growth, it must consider the impact of home visits, and how the number of student days and the number of teacher days impacts the calendar.
He added that information about the Shawano school calendar shared at the December board meeting wasn't correct. He said Shawano has 191 days, and Clintonville had projected 193 days.
"Philosophically and administratively we like maximizing the number of instructional days," O'Toole said.
O'Toole said the administration was looking for some guidance for assembling the calendar, but ultimately the board can build a calendar to whatever it desires.
As an example, O'Toole said the district could add three minutes to each school day for 180 days it equals nine hours. But instructionally, O'Toole said he didn't think that it improved the amount of instruction students received.
Teachers in attendance were allowed to voice their opinion and give input to the board regarding next year's school calendar.
Michele Sasse, a teacher at Rexford/Longfellow Elementary School, suggested an inservice day between semesters to give teachers a chance to finish final grades for the students.
Jill Yaklyvich, a teacher at Rexford/Longfellow Elementary School, expressed concerns about the two night parent teacher conferences.
"As a teacher's standpoint, it is very difficult to teach all day and then go all night, and then come back rejuvenated for those students," Yaklyvich said.
She also expressed concern about fitting the home visits into the calendar.
Regarding inservice days, Yaklyvich said when teachers say they need more time it means they want more time in their classrooms to get work done.
"I'm hoping some of these inservice days are going to be those types of days, that they're not all planned out for us," she said.
Clintonville High School Principal Lance Bagstad spoke to the board as a parent of a student in the district. He said his daughter, who is a freshman in high school, will miss parts of 13 school days for the required testing the district has. He said if the district went by the minimum number of hours required, it would equal 166 days. With the time spent testing, the number of days for instruction is less than 166.
"If we take that time away from students, we are reducing the number of hours that those kids get in front of trained experts in their disciplinary. I, as a parent, would rather see more days that there's instruction happening," Bagstad said.
Jeff See, middle school associate principal, said the district is attempting to use the inservice days differently than in the past. He said the district is trying to make the inservice days relevant to the teaching profession.
"I know it's a lot of days, but with what's on our plate, to try to address this Focus school issue that we have, I don't know that we can reduce it," See said. "We are working very hard to try to make so that you're not feeling as overwhelmed as you do, and rightfully so. But we're still a Focus school in the high school and middle school. And we still have so much that we have to do."
Earlier in the meeting, the board received a presentation about the Clintonville Middle School and High School being Focus schools. The schools are in the 10 percent of Title I schools statewide that would benefit from additional training, professional development, and resources designed to improve student outcomes for a portion of their student population.
O'Toole said the administration will take the input into account when assembling the calendar.
• The board unanimously approved hiring Troy Cota as middle school categorical teacher, effective Jan. 13. It also approved hiring Amanda Baxter as an eighth grade teacher, effective Jan. 19.
• The board unanimously approved the resignations of Ken Jagiello as middle school football coach and Sarah Wong as middle school volleyball coach.
• The board unanimously approved hiring Jagiello to the position of high school assistant football coach.
• The board unanimously approved the following hires for the pilot department chair program funded by title grant funds, effective immediately: Lindsay Davis (7-12 literacy), Kathryn Moser (preK-6 literacy), Mike O'Donnell (preK-6 math), and Jeff Crumbaugh (preK-12 science).
• The board unanimously verified the Declarations of Candidacy for Jim Dins, Clyde Tellock and Ben Huber, who have filed nomination papers to be on the school board spring election ballot, April 7. There are three vacancies available. Each vacancy is a three-year term.

Now that June is here, I am going to start putting up a daily list of spot starters I like for the following day. Spot starters will be guys owned in less than 50% of Yahoo leagues, who I like for a solid game. I'll also keep a running tally of how my picks are doing:
- Ted Lilly (48% owned) - Lilly has struggled early this season, but is coming off a 7 shutout inning no decision vs. the Dodgers. He had 5 K's and only gave up 3 hits against a potent lineup. Look for another solid performance against Pittsburg tomorrow.
- Rich Harden (43% owned) - Many people have given up on Harden this year, but I like him tomorrow against the White Sox. The White Sox offense has been non existent this year, and historically June is Harden's best ERA, WHIP, Batting Average Against, and K/9 month. I'm a little worried about facing Buehrle in Chicago... but I have a good feeling about Harden.
- Nick Blackbun (23% owned) - Blackburn is coming of 5 straight wins, and is one of the truly underrated starters out there. He does give up his share of hits, but has only given up 2 homeruns in his last 5 starts (37.1 innings - including a complete game). He also gets a lot of ground balls and is 2nd in the majors in getting batters to ground into double plays, making his 1.41 WHIP a bit less worrysome.
Good luck!

What are you up to?
Here it is ~ almost the end of July.... summer is flying away. I just ordered Kyle new strings for his guitar. Sweetie is playing with the dogs on the front porch. Most of all I am enjoying my rare, sort of, day off. There is so much to catch up on. Bill harvested this years garlic crop. It is drying in the barn. The first round of corn has been harvested. We are working on food preservation this year. We have dried corn, carrots, green beans and a few onions. Easy to throw in to a hearty stew this winter.
We are missing Kyle tremendously. He does call when he can. It is hard on his new wife. But the time is passing, just a bit slowly for her. He will be home for his mid tour leave in September. We are all looking forward to that.
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer.

Yesterday after J got home from school we ate some lunch and then attacked the leaves outside. It's our neighbors tree but all the leaves end up in our front yard. I'll have to remember to thank them for that. Anyway, I raked all the leaves onto the sidewalk into a huge, long pile and the kids, being kids decided that jumping in them and throwing them was more fun than putting them into the bucket. I did get some cute photos.
When we came inside J and I had a hard time breathing and were coughing so I am sure there was something nasty in those leaves but it was worth the fun we had.

Singapore Emerge Champions, HK Edge Lanka To Fourth
- 10th Asian Youth Netball Championship – South Korea
Singapore produced a near flawless display against Malaysia to clinch the 10th Asian Youth Netball Championship with a 47-43 victory to avenge their first round defeat to the same opponents.
After losing 53-50 in the group stage the Singaporeans fought hard to overcome a half time deficit of 19-22 by winning the third and fourth quarters. They won the 1st quarter 11-10 but at half time were down 19-22. Singapore bounced back in the 3rd and 4th quarter winning 15-12 & 13-9 to win the championship.
Hong Kong produced a clinical second half performance in the play off for third place with a 58-49 win against Sri Lanka at the 10th Asian Youth Netball Championship in Jeonju, South Korea.
Sri Lanka defeated Hong Kong 60-45 in the group stage but was unable to repeat the performance in the playoff match. Hong Kong on the other hand was up to the task with strong defence that ultimately brought about the Sri Lankans downfall.
In the semi-finals, 2015 champions Sri Lanka, was swept aside 58-32 by Singapore while Malaysia defeated Hong Kong 70-40.
In a close 1st quarter Hong Kong edged out Sri Lanka 12-11 with Kaveena Rajapaksha scoring all 11 from 13 attempts while Yang C & A.Tupper scored 10 & 2 points each. The 2nd quarter saw Hong Kong get a 20-17 lead but Sri Lanka fought back to tie the scores 26 all at half time.
After half time Hong Kong turned on the screws to take a 36-31 lead on a 10-5 run. Sri Lanka closed the gap to 3 points but Hong Kong ended the 3rd quarter 43-38 restoring the 5 point lead setting up an exciting 4th quarter.
Though Sri Lanka was 100% from attempts, they were only allowed 12 attempts while Hong Kong had 21 attempts scoring 17 points.
The 4th quarter was a complete disaster for Sri Lanka as Hong Kong's pressing defence forced many a turnover and misplaced passes as the winners at one time extended the lead to 12 points with scores reading 54-42.
Though Sri Lanka went on a 4-7 run there was no recovery as it ended 58-49 giving Hong Kong the third place finish since 1994.
Like in the 3rd quarter Sri Lanka were only allowed 12 attempts of which Kaveena put over 11 while Hong Kong had 15 out of 20 attempts. Rajapaksha after an uncharacteristically low 24/33 shooting success in the semi-final was at her best scoring 48/52 in the 3rd place playoff. For Hong Kong, C.Yang scored 36/45 and A.Tupper scoring 22/34.

So the first thing to know about ombre hair or if you have bleached hair is that what ever colour you put on top is going to fade a lot quicker than normal, this is a pain but something that has to be dealt with until the bleached part of your hair grows out and cut. When i originally went back to being dark i did get it done at my fav salon as this was going to be for my wedding and obviously is had to look fabulous. But due to the colour starting to fade i dyed it again the other week.

My son loves to play with Play-dough. I was trying to think of something he could make for his friends and family for Valentine's Day. He's 2, so cutting and pasting is more like… me making it. So, I came up with this idea:
It was really easy, and fun for both of us.
Step 1: Make the play-dough. My favorite recipe is Kool-Aid play-dough.
Bring to a boil: 2 c. water, 3 Tbs. Oil.
Mix together in another bowl- 2 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup salt, 2 pkgs, unsweetened Kool-aid. (oops, I just realized I only used 2 cups flour, oh well, it still worked.)
Add dry ingredients to boiling mixture. Reduce heat and stir in pot until ball forms.
I like to knead the dough right after you mix it into ball form. Be careful, it's hot. This stuff keeps great, in a ziploc bag, or in a tupperware. It's also very easy to clean up.
Step 2: Play with the play-dough. Roll it out, using a rolling pin, or if you don't have one (like me) use a cup, or your hands.
Cut out hearts using cookie cutters.
Step 3: Place the hearts into small zipper baggies.
Step 4: Print poem, glue onto construction paper and staple onto baggie. My poem here is in the form of a picture- you're welcome to save it and use it- I don't mind. (Or, make your own poem, I'm sure it will be darling!)
Ta-Da! Valentine's for all of your friends and family. (I am trying to convince Brant to let me make these for his 3rd grade students. It shouldn't be hard. I know they would love them!)
Happy Valentine's Day everyone. I sure am learning to LOVE this holiday!

Manufacturing environments generally have different set of data storage requirements, than what is usually observed in corporate world. This is due to the fact that IT environments of manufacturing companies should deal with globally dispersed design team as well as growing regulatory concerns.
Usually, people go with a notion that those companies which manufacture massive machines such as construction trucks will usually need massive and complex IT infrastructures needed to support the collaborative design and development of these monster machines. Well, it may have been this way once, but not today.
"The IT infrastructure is not as big as you might think. There are a lot of parts used in the design of one of our products, but for the most part we have a few basic designs and a lot of different configurations. There's not a tremendous amount of data," says Kenneth Olson, technical specialist in the storage management group at Peoria, IL-based Caterpillar, which touts itself as the world's largest maker of construction and forestry equipment.
Regardless of the manufacturing vertical a company belongs, the amount of data generated by the manufacturer offers unique challenges to IT managers involved in these environments. Products are now designed by teams of often geographically dispersed designers and developers who share product designs, specifications and requirements across a global network. Outside suppliers and subcontractors play a vital role in a product's development, and components are designed and sourced from a variety of providers. So, all this accounts to a distributed world where one can have a thousand engineers, consultants and subcontractors spread out across the world all wanting to access the same data. But what about the security and privacy factors in these shared environments?
Moreover, beyond the collaborative aspects, IT managers should also think differently about their systems and data. For instance, systems tend to be file-rather than database oriented. Instead of huge volumes of data transactions churning through the systems every day or every hour with frequent reads and writes, the design groups tend to load only a few files and work on them for hours at a stretch. And the files may not be that large. Although a few files sometimes hit 100MB or more, most run less than 5MB, not much more than a large PowerPoint file. The designs may ultimately be rendered as rich graphics–a task often done in batch mode–but until then they consist primarily of mathematical equations that don't consume much storage space.
With concepts like product data management much in use, capturing only Meta data and centralizing the Meta data is also becoming a regular practice these days.
Therefore, all these factors lead to a juncture where one has to decide whether to go for a centralized or distributed storage system.
Centralized vs. Distributed Storage
Centralized storage–In centralized storage model, all storage resources reside at a primary data center and employees, designers located all over the world can access the storage resources. The benefit of a centralized model are lower capital and operational costs, security- as all data resides in a secured data center, less administrative skills requirements, less backup and disaster recovery complexity, a single business continuity plan can be employed and greater control over potential risk areas such as internet access. Thus, if it's centralized storage, it's easier to manage, protect and secure. However, remote users may encounter performance issues if they must continually retrieve and store files across a WAN. When the operation is far flung, the cost of multiple global links can quickly mount. If the organization has a big network in place and the data volumes are comparatively small, then centralized approach is much preferred.
Distributed Storage–In the distributed storage model, each site is self-sustained for the most part. While some connectivity to the primary datacenter is required, the remote site would host its own Email Server, manage its own backups, control its own Internet access, and host its own Shared Files. Application access may still rely on HQ, although many applications support this type of distributed model. The main downside of this approach is obliviously the costs involved.
Note- Remember not all data can be placed on a centralized storage and that is common sense. Thus, the option of a centralized storage system can lead to a big debate if it is not carefully handled.
StoneFly offers data storage solutions to manufacturing companies which can be utilized as centralized or distributed solutions. StoneFly, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dynamic Network Factory offers IP storage solutions such as NAS, SAN, RAID and iSCSI Storage. This company is a pioneer in the creation, development and deployment of the iSCSI storage protocol which is now being used as a standard by IT professionals around the world.
StoneFly offers storage solutions to manufacturers like Karen Foster Designs, Car Sound Exhaust systems and Taipan trading.

Well the first leg of the trip is over and things had gone really well; we met up with our California friends and got set for the international portion of the adventure.We had high hopes that things would continue this way…unfortunately that ended on the London connection. British Airways decided that they would hold off on boarding our international flight for 45 minutes due to some weather delays…ok; that still gives us an hour once we hit London to get to our flight. The big issues hit when we sat on the tarmac for 45 minutes and the once we finally got inside after unloading a full 747 we had to shuttle 4 kids under 7 and 16 "adults" to get to the gate and we thought we made it there with 2 minutes to spare but were informed that we had not "cleared" the security and they wouldn't hold our flight…Bummer! So after 2hours of standing in line to get another flight – along with the other 400 people who missed their connections – we got a flight to Dehli instead of Chennai.
This was the "good" side of my luggage when we hit the baggage claim. They had drug sniffing dogs and guards all over this mess of a travel carry on. Apparently this bag had dropped off the truck and was dragged the better part of a mile to the new plane we needed to catch. The funny thing is that British Airways doesn't really consider this a real loss – only minor damage…something that should be taken care of immediately…we now need to be handle via the internet on my own once I get to my final destination.
Oh well, I told the girls that I wasn't taking anything that I would mind loosing…the only problem is that I don't know what is a total loss until I get to the orphanage as the zipper was melted shut and will need to use a knife to open it up! I hope the soccer balls and fun kids stuff isn't ruined. If this is the worst that happens this trip will be more than fun! more later…still sitting at the airport after 24 hours.

A Swedish hospital has advertised looking to employ "hot" nurses.
The vacancies are currently open at Stockholm South General (Södersjukhuset).
The advert stated: "You will be motivated, professional and have a sense of humour. And of course, you will be TV-series hot or a Söder hipster.
"Throw in a nurse's education and you are welcome to seek a summer job at Södersjukhuset's emergency department."
However, nursing manager Jörgen Andersson has insisted that they aren't necessarily looking for attractive nurses, as long as they are qualified for the job.
"We think that people understand that it was written to catch people's attention," he said. "There's been no negative feedback."
Andersson added to The Local: "Being good-looking is no requirement at all. We put out an ad looking for interest and we got a great response.
"We want a nurse who is qualified and good at their job, regardless of looks."
> Company wants "attractive" female secretary
> Company refuses to hire Scorpios, Virgos

I hate airports.
I hate planes.
I hate airlines.
I hate the whole freakin mess.
We missed our plane by 1 minute. Yes, literally, 1 minute. We were there the "hour early". We waited in line like good little people. And the B(*(*^(*^%% at the gate would not hold the plane OR our seats for one more minute.
We are going tomorrow. We are home today. Husband said I could take a nap and then promptly fell asleep.
I haven't slept for more than 3 hours in more than 3 days.
I had caffeine. So I'm tired and a bit wired.

Growing up, she made delicious cakes and cookies for our birthdays & Christmas and as a kid, I always looked forward to visiting her for that reason(lol)! Since then I've always and still love to bake. This blog is an opportunity to share pictures of my cakes with family and friends. I hope you enjoy what you see and come back for more :o)

Clothes-Line Themed Baby Shower

Who doesn't love Sesame Street?
OK! Sooooo Sesame Street celebrated their 40th Anniversary in 2010! Who doesn't loooove Sesame Street? It's hard to believe that they've been around for the past 40 years! I enjoyed watching cookie monster, big bird, elmo and the gang as a kid and from time to time, I still take a peak if I see it on TV while channel surfing.....and.....I can still sing their theme song in my head :) We're all kids at heart.
This cake was made for a cookie monster themed baby shower. It was a personalized replica of a similar cake that the celebrant liked. The flavor was a Nigerian fruit cake filled with vanilla buttercream and iced with white chocolate ganache. This is a recipe I got from an aunt whose cakes I've loved for years!
|Nigerian fruit cake is similar to American fruit cake and is very popular in Nigerian weddings. I've noticed, however, that it does not have as many dried fruits as the American fruit cake does. This of course is up to the individual.
Like the American fruit cake, this fruit cake can be made days, sometimes weeks, in advance. One of the reasons this cake is made in advance (and I think this is one of the things that sets this cake apart) is that this cake is repeatedly 'fed' and 'nourished', over time, with brandy (yes, alcohol). This gives the cake a subtle, rich, brandy flavor plus it also allows the cake to be stored for ages and ages. It also gives the cake a moist texture and allows time for the flavors to sort of 'mix' and 'settle' and taste even better!

Due to circumstances mostly out of my control, I will have to delay my Big Sneaky Project Announcement until Tuesday, November 17th. Thank you for your patience.
Part of the "beyond my control" circumstances is the weather. We've had constant rain for over three days now. The rivers and streams are breaching bridges and closing roadways left and right. Please pray the city water treatment plant is not compromised. Our house is up in a hill so we are not personally affected…but our transportation routes are very hampered for at least another 48 hours until the rain stops.

Life is grand. I am healthly, wealthy and wise. Well, at least I'm healthy. I completed my last chemo treatment at the beginning of November. Recovery from this round was a bit tougher as I was told to expect but not too bad in the big scheme of things. My wonderful sister in law Sue came up from Florida to take care of us. It was a HUGE help and now thankfully I am done with chemo. I had my first follow up with the doctor and everything looks great. Praise God!
I celebrated the end of my treatments with a trip to China (yes, China!). I had an opportunity to go with my dear friend Mary and my terrific husband kindly offered to take a week off from work to stay with Molly and Aidan. The trip was amazing. We saw the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Chairman Mao's Memorial Hall and did some great shopping in Beijing. We visited the Terra Cotta Warrior Museum in Xi'an and enjoyed the beautiful modern city of Shanghai. And these are just a few of the highlights. It was a fabulous experience. And for those of you who are wondering...yes I was quite the novelty being a six foot tall bald woman in China! Daddy had a terrific week with Molly and Aidan and I received a hero's welcome home with banners, cards, gifts and of course lots and lots of hugs.
The Christms season was a whirlwind of family, friends, food and much joy. Pat's brother Mike and his wife Mary Ellen moved into there first home several days shy of Christmas. Most exciting of all was the tiny growth of hair that began to make an apperance on my head (well at least to me!). It has continued to grow and I'm now sporting a full head of fuzzy baby chick hair. Not much but I will take it.
Molly and Aidan continue to enjoy kindergarten. This is a good thing because they might be going to school until the 4th of July if we continue to get as much snow as we have been getting. They've already missed 5 days and January is not even over yet. Aidan is wrestling (see video below). And Molly is taking ballet and tap. They have both expressed an interest in playing soccer again this spring. Busy, busy, busy little people.
Our journey to and life with Molly and Aidan. What a Blessing they have been.

Great post! Most importantly, I'm so glad you are done with chemo and your health is good! Hair growth is a good thing too! :D I know it's been a long road for you and I couldn't be happier to hear the news.
On another note, I am so envious of your trip to China!! I REALLY want to go one day. Just loved the photos!!
I know the kids must have missed you while you were gone. They're cute as ever!!
Glad to hear your holidays were good -hope you have a fantastic 2011!

Child 'traumatized' after watching cop brutalize mother
DRTOA – At the age of 7 years old I watched as a female Belmar, NJ police officer attacked my mother and beat her to the ground. My sister and I were taken away and terrorized by the police officers. Happens around here all the time!
Though the incident took place on Halloween, Lana Sinclair's face still bears the bruises stemming from a Winnipeg police officer slamming her head against a table and beating her mercilessly with a baton.

"As a public institution, the university should serve primarily those who provide for its financial and civic support — California residents," says state auditor Elaine Howle. "However, over the past several years, the university has failed to put the needs of residents first."
The motive is largely economic. The estimated sticker price for OOS residents is $58,308, which is $24,708 more than the resident tuition and fees. The schools use the extra fees paid by nonresident students to balance out the budget cuts that cut funding by about one-third a few years ago. Another interesting note is that this report comes a few months after the announcement that incoming OOS (out-of-state) residents can no longer receive financial aid beginning in fall 2016.
The audit also reported that the UCs have kept their promise to admit the top 12.5 percent of high school graduates, but these students don't always get accepted to their first choice. In contrast, nonresidents usually get accepted to their first choice campus and outnumber the number of residents in impacted majors such as engineering.
Personally, I believe this is completely unfair. The UC system should be admitting those who are qualified from California before reaching out to applicants from other states since this system was created to educate the students of California. Living here should be a plus factor rather than a disadvantage.
What do you think? Should the UC system be placing "fairness" over profit maximization and other economic motives? Were the schools just doing what they had to do in order to keep the system running?

This is probably the tenth or twentieth time Iam "arguing" with my (elder ) brother on the lamest of all topics -
Are first-born children better achievers?
My argument ( along with my sister-in-law's ( "incidently" my brothers wife ) was that first borns are prototypes of nature. The second borns are the real product out of the engines of creation. My brother simply refuses to accept it .. he has his own ways of getting to a conclusion ... and he replied back in a mail with the following link ... here is BBC for you .. on the same debate ..
But I think the more I try to debate .. the more I move away from a fruitful conclusion.

Last week I featured a children's book by Frances Park and Ginger Park. This week, I'm featuring the novel they wrote for adults. Like the children's book, this one is based on their family's story.
To Swim Across the World delves into the lives of Sei-Young Shin, a man from a poor family that lives in the southern part of Korea, and Heisook Pang, a woman from a wealthier family that lived in the north. Readers see the lives of the families under the Japanese occupation, then through World War II and after, and experience a love story in the midst of oppression and heartache.
I loved this book. After reading it, I felt that I had such a better understanding of the complex and difficult history of Korea. It doesn't seem that there a lot of novels about Korea out there, especially for adults. But even if there were vast amounts of novels on the subject, I feel this one would stand out.

Skin Cancers
Skin Cancers
Skin Cancers: Basal Cell Carcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma
These are the two most common types of skin cancer. They usually form on the head, face, neck, hands and arms which have had the most cumulative amount of sun exposure over the years. However the skin cancer can occur anywhere. Basal cell carcinoma grows slowly and rarely spreads to other parts of the body. Squamous cell carcinoma sometimes spread to lymph nodes and organs inside the body, known as metastasis. The best way to prevent skin cancer is to protect yourself from the sun at all ages. Most basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers can be cured if found and treated early. If a change on the skin is seen, for example a new growth, a sore that doesn't heal or a change in an old growth, please come to see us for an evaluation and diagnosis.

Well, today wasn't bad. Still getting back into the "getting the kids to school before work" groove, but I'm safe to write that I'm getting better at dealing with it.
breakfast: smoothie, coffee on the way in to work
lunch: tuna, almonds and water. Oh, vegetables and hummus. Really am liking these pre-cit vegetables in a small bag at the grocery store. Lazy, I know, but made for my lunch. Carrots, brocolli, cauliflower and peas all together in my stomach are awesome.
Dinner: Used up the end of the chicken in a stir fry night over rice. Water to drink.
Did this ass soon as I got home from work ...
30 two handed swings (with the "new" 50 lb kettlebell)
10 cleans (with the 30, 40 or 50 lb bell)
10 snatches with the 30 lb bell
20 push ups - various hand widths
20 seated knee tucks
5 chin ups
Need to get back into the hanging knee tucks; will do that Friday.

American Library Association Best Books for Young AdultsVOYA Best Science Fiction, Fantasy amp; HorrorWelcome to Bordertown. A hybrid community of misfits, oddballs and runaways. Where humans, elves and halflings co-exist. Where magic and the brutal realities of survival clash and mix. For Orient and Tick-Tick, it's just home. Death and dark magic hang ov er the city. A seductive new drug lures young runaways to their destruction. A mysterious plague spreads through the streets. And beneath the clock tower on High Street, Bonnie Prince Charlie lies slain by an unseen hand. A cop named Sunny Rico exploits Orient's talent for finding objects to track the killer and leads both herself and him into the darker secrets of Elflands' immigrant citizens.
My review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
Having just finished reading 'Elsewhere' & 'Nevernever', two other books set in Bodertown, I had a background of the setting and characters when I started this book. That made it enjoyable. This book was not quite as engrossing as the other two, but it was still a fun Borderland read. The story was very emotionally charged and that is what kept me reading. I do feel like I may have missed some of Tink & Orient's story in earlier Borderland books, that may have made this one even more interesting. But still it was a pretty good read and leaves me looking for the earlier Borderland books.

When Chris does per-diem work, I keep Lars for the few hours until the afternoon Kindergarten bus comes. Usually, we hang out at home and play Memory or he helps me do take-offs for work (he's very good at matching and counting and loves to use different highlighter colors). Once a month, I bring him with me to the blood lab. He leads the way from the parking lot, knows which floor to select in the elevator, sits patiently with me in the waiting room and then stands quietly near me while the tech draws my blood. He usually watches and will sometimes talk to the tech about why there are different colored tubes or if I can have the Incredibles band-aid. He's never seemed disturbed or frightened by the experience.
This is Spring Break week, so I had both of them today, while Chris worked. In keeping with the Nothing Is Easy theme of the last couple weeks, it was also lab day. On the way over, I asked Lars to fill Ross in on the lab routine. I started him off with the parking and elevator and Lars leading me to the lab. Lars thought a minute and then added, very matter-of-factly, "Then we sign in and wait quietly until they call us and then we go into the room and they do BAD THINGS to Mama. They take her blood out and they KEEP it!" There was an uncomfortable pause and then, "But after that we go home to Starbucks if I'm good and I'm ALWAYS good there." On reflection, he IS always good there! I never thought much of it before, but now I wonder if it's because he's worried about the bad things or because he likes going to Sbux?
