If you know me, you know I'm a huge Cooking Light Fan. So most of the recipes are from there (except the desserts). Well I don't cook. So I thought it would be great to compile recipes... OK, OK, my husband cooks but I find the recipes. And I realized I have found so many, I can't keep track any more. So here I'm going to list when we make a new one.

Steak and Ale Chili with Beans
Steak and Ale Chili with Beans
Prep time: 30 mins
Cook time: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hours 30 mins
Serves: 6-8
2 tsp ground cumin
Kosher salt
Ground black pepper
1 pound skirt steak, trim excess fat
Vegetable Oil
1-1.2 cups yellow onion, finely chopped
1 T garlic, minced
2 T pure chili powder
2 tsp dried oregano
2 cans (16 oz each) chili beans, such as pinto beans, with liquid
1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes
1 bottle (12 oz) stout beer
2 T cider vinegar
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 cups finely grated cheddar cheese (8 ounces)
1. Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (350° to 450° F).
2. In a small bowl, combine the cumin, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Lightly brush the steaks on both sides with oil and season evenly with the rub. Allow the steaks to stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before grilling.
3. Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the steaks over direct medium heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until cooked to medium-rare doneness, 4 to 6 minutes, turning once. Remove from the grill and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Cut the steaks into ½-inch pieces.
4. In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the chili powder and oregano and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the remaining chili ingredients and increase the heat to bring the chili to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, add the steak, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Uncover the pan and continue to simmer until the chili thickens to the consistency you like, 40 to 50 minutes, stirring to the bottom of the pan occasionally. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm topped with grated cheese. -

"When there is no way out, you find a deeper way in!"
I was quite intrigued by the foregoing memorable quote, which came from a particular segment in the action thriller movie, 'The International', which I had watched on StarHub cable television last night.
In a nut shell, an Interpol investigator, played by Clive Owen, was going after an international bank apparently involved in terrorist activities through the financing of shady weapon deals as well as the murder of anyone who divulged secrets about the bank's nefarious activities.
I had thoroughly enjoyed watching the movie. The extensive shoot-out inside New York's Guggenheim Museum setting was quite a refreshing change in terms of action sequences.
In the particular movie segment, one of the lead villains was playing a game of chess at home with his son. He was then interrupted by an urgent phone call from one of his associates.
The associate had sought his advice as Interpol was closing in on the case.
That was when the father suddenly turned to his son, & posed the question as to what the son would do if he were caught in a 'No Way Out' situation. The son replied that he would find a deeper way in.
In fact, there was another memorable quote in the movie which also struck me. It came from another villain, who was unfortunately caught by the authorities during a surveillance.
While he was pondering about whether to blow the whistle on the bank, the Interpol investigator advised him:
"Sometimes, a man can meet his destiny on the road he took to avoid it."
Something to think about on both counts.

The Minister of Finance, Pravin Gordhan, delivered his budget speech on 27 February 2013 and, other than expected, tax rates were (fortunately) not increased. On the face of it the tax proposals should not have a substantial impact on our clients but, as has often happened in the past, there will probably be law amendments later which will have an effect on the taxpayer.
We are not at present going to provide detailed commentary on the tax proposals but will, as and when more certainty about these proposals is gained in the course of the year, communicate with our clients about aspects thereof that may have an influence on their tax affairs.
The following link can be used to peruse the tax tables for the 2013/2014 tax year and also to read more about the tax proposals.
Should you be uncertain about the effect of the budget proposals on your tax liability, you are welcome to get in touch with your relationship director.

As you know, I am in love with Dana's blog. And I finally made some time to cut one of my husband's dress shirts to make my daughter a dress. Now you know if I'm making something for my daughter, my son is right behind her asking for something too. You think it's b/c they are twins? On his checklist? a "batman belt". Must I?
Dana's tutorials are THE best and I cannot tell you how easy it was to follow her steps. My daughter and I (AND my husband!) are so happy with the way it turned out.
husband's dress shirt with a denim belt = too cute for words!

Happy Thanksgiving, friendly readers. Here's hoping the dry, cold Salt Lake City Thursday does nor portend more of the same or thanks will be in short supply this ski season.
We took a different approach to the holiday today. After helping Princess 'Hat Rack open a present at about 5:45am (eyes closed, fumbling with stupid packaging), today was all about family. She had received the Little People-brand "Noah's Ark" on Wednesday night as a reward for the end of diapers in the 'Hat Rack household (5 1/2 years, 3 kids and an estimated $4,000 later!) - but fell asleep on the way home from the store and slept right through to this morning, when she toddled into our room with the giant box.
With family scattered from Chicago to Washington state to Texas to Arizona, we kept it simple -- all the trimmings (stuffing, salad, cranberries, sweet potatoes, etc.) and barbequed steak -- instead of turkey. We took advantage of the window created by not roasting turkey by taking the little ones to see Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium - a positively delightful and thoroughly recommendable fable about a toy store, its 234-year-old proprietor (Dustin Hoffman), its manager (Natalie Portman) and one nine-year-old who believed in the store. The one review I read glowed that the film succeeded where the majority don't - it created a sense of wonder, in its truest form, in the eyes of children. In a complicated, too-busy-for-our-own-good world, who doesn't need a 90-minute respite to unleash imagination and be in awe of the magical and mystical? Need a fix of fun and dreams? Grab a kid and treat them to this movie. You'll be thankful you did.
What almost brought me to tears though, was a greeting from an RSL fan in the still-darkened theatre as we watched the credits roll (and the introductory and concluding credits are worth the $5.50 in their own right!)... A man named Tyler came up and thanked me for all the work I did on behalf of RSL, ever since the day he met me three years ago at the Clint Mathis introduction phone call. Many people have told me they appreciated all I poured into RSL, but for some reason, this comment on Thanksgiving day - in the same theatre complex where we launched the "Real Week" movie concept - struck a nerve in a warm place. Thank YOU Tyler. I remember a sense of awe and wonder when we introduced THE Clint Mathis in January 2005. Sometimes it feels like that luster is gone, long gone, from RSL, but I think if you allow yourself to believe, the child-like attraction of a sports team to its fans can always still be found. Thanks RSL fans, it was a great ride. I told Tyler I was glad that the job had brought me here - that my family really liked Salt Lake and that now I, "have a job where I get to take people to Mt. Everest."
That's plenty to be thankful for today. Grandma, Grandpa, Nana, Pop, siblings and cousins 'Hat Rack - we are thinking of you today.
Now is it too much to ask for some snow?

September 2, 2004.
KENNETH STEVENS, Defendant.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: JOHN KEENAN, Senior District Judge
MEMORANDUM OPINION and ORDER
The Court carefully considered the Government's submissions of
September 1 and September 2, 2004 and the defense submission of
September 1, 2004 concerning the prosecution witness, Nagy
Bekhit. Sadly, the witness' father passed away and the funeral is
in Egypt on September 11, 2004. The witness is scheduled to leave
for Egypt on Tuesday, September 7, 2004 and, at present, is not
scheduled to return until September 25, 2004.
The defense refused to stipulate as to his testimony which, as
conveyed in the submission, is essentially ministerial. The
defense also refuses to consent to a Federal Rule of Criminal
Procedure 15 deposition because the witness is technically
The Court cannot find that the witness is "unavailable" under
the rubric of FRCP 15 because he is presently in New York and, as
the Government candidly admits, he could be subpoenaed.
Accordingly, if the Government still decides to call Mr.
Bekhit, the Court directs that the Government subpoena the
witness to testify on September 23, 2004 at 9:30 a.m. That way,
he can return from Egypt on September 22, 2004, having spent two
weeks in Egypt.
In the event that both sides have concluded all other evidence
before September 23, 2004, the Court will reconvene on September
23, 2004 to hear Mr. Bekhit's testimony. See Federal Rule of
Evidence 611(a).
Assuming all proof is concluded by the testimony of Mr. Bekhit,
summations will immediately follow on September 23, 2004 and the
Court will charge on September 27, 2004.

Zodiac Adventure Feb 24
What's a little wind, cloud cover, wave action and cold when there a west coast adventure to be experienced with 'Prince of Whales'. After all, it is winter still, but fairer weather is on its way. Today at 10 am we headed out from the inner Harbour, bundled up in our warm suits with great anticipation. Our seasoned skipper, Radar manned the helm of zodiac, 'The Mystery '. We turned east and headed over to San Juan Island. Instinct soon prevailed after not seeing any wildlife at this destination. Our skipper headed north. We stopped to look at a Bald Eagle and its nest on one of the islands. A tip from the office suggested that the whales had been sighted by an aircraft. They were coming in from Boundary Bay. Sure enough we encountered them, J Pod, at Turn Point. Although they were spread out, several members were seen including J1 ( Ruffles) a 58 yr old male orca from J Pod. J 16 ( Slick) with her little calf J 42( Echo) , born in 2007. J 8, J 33 and J 26 were also identified. We watched them heading south. Our time with these magical creatures was soon over. Our international visitors from London, England, and Saudi Arabia were thrilled with their first west coast adventure. Photo's by Marie "Orca-Magic"

I like the '46 through '55 versions, as these were most likely edited by WWII and Korean War vets in what works and what should be left out.

I found in my own scouting days, the dads who were the best instructors were the vets from those two wars, because they would go beyond the text and teach us the tricks of the trade, so to speak.

I'm still alive, I have the pictures for my next chapter, and I'm heavy with child (haha, just kidding. I am pregnant, but I lost a ton of weight at the beginning and now I'm barely gaining it back. Did you know some women get morning sickness their whole pregnancy? I didn't.). Unfortunately, my computer is having power supply issues so I've been hesitant to run my game. Beyond that, I don't know how much I'll be able to play. I'm considering starting a different legacy, but I have no idea.
Honestly, writing for this legacy takes a lot of time. I'm a very slow writer, and I have to write several drafts for each chapter. I have story notes that are just ridiculous. Beyond that, I find it hard to sit for long periods of time, which is what I tend to do when I play/write. I'm sad to say that I might not be very active anymore (or active at all). The Bees might be on semi-permanent hiatus which blows because I really like them. At this point, I don't want to make any promises--I might be back, but it seems unlikely for now. I have a uterus-turd to poop out in April, a house to renovate by March, and work stuff (as always).
By the way, I'm having a girl and my partner won't let me name her Nova. :\
ETA: Thank you, by the way, for the kind words on my last post. I guess it's TMI, but I was actually diagnosed with pre-natal depression and put on anti-depressants. I'm doing much better now.

By the end of 2007, the European Commission aims to devise environmental standards for biofuels -- standards that will be of particular interest to Brazil, and ultimately, to the agriculture sector globally. While so-called sustainability standards will likely come under close scrutiny as a potential non-tariff trade barrier, the commission has a narrow intent in mind for them which could prove acceptable to Brazil, the world's emerging biofuels leader.
If these standards catch on beyond the EU's borders, they could set a precedent for the future development of other codes of conduct for industrial agriculture. Such standards could also lead to a further rise in already-high agriculture commodity prices -- which is good news for Latin America's Southern Cone.
The EU will require 10 percent of automotive fuels sold within the union to comprise alternative fuels (not fossil-fuel-based) by 2020. The EU's interest in biofuels is part of a larger energy strategy recently devised to secure three objectives: efficiency, carbon emission reduction and -- most important to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who devised the policy -- energy security.
Importing Brazil's sugar-cane-based ethanol currently is the most appealing way, in terms of price and supply, to meet the 10 percent requirement, but critics have warned that in its pursuit of cleaner-burning fuels, Europe ironically risks funding ecological destruction. The poster child for this concern is the Amazon rainforest, which has been reduced at alarming rates in the past decade, in part to allow for soya crop expansion. Therefore environmental certification is being proposed to accomplish two specific objectives: to make sure less carbon dioxide is released in the production of biofuels than will be conserved by burning them in place of gasoline, and to make sure that valuable wildlife is not destroyed to make room for plantations. The second goal aims to preserve biodiversity but also links back to the carbon concern; destruction of the Amazon forest, wetlands or other similar areas would constitute the destruction of natural carbon sinks -- usually by burning, which releases more carbon into the atmosphere.
From this perspective, Europe's demand is entirely reasonable; it is merely requesting that the policy goal leading it to purchase the biofuels in the first place not be subverted. As long as the certification's focus remains on the greenhouse gas balance of biofuels production, objections by Brazil or other would-be suppliers likely will not be perceived as legitimate.
There are two groups that would like to see the certification scheme become much more extensive, however: environmentalists and European farmers. If they get their way, the minimal "sustainability criteria" attached to biofuels will address a much wider array of topics -- from pesticide and fertilizer use to water intensity, genetically modified organisms, labor standards and community impact. For environmental groups such as WWF these are matters of principle; for the farmers, they are a matter of competitive advantage. Few European interest groups are more jealously guarded than farmers -- remember, the rigidity of Europe's Common Agricultural Policy is a significant obstacle to the Doha round of WTO negotiations.
Brazil will be consulted in the course of forming the standards, and there is a chance the requirements will be mutually acceptable. As Doha sputters out, the EU is reviving its interest in a stalled EU-Mercosur trade agreement and needs Brazil as an enthusiastic broker to have any chance of success. Europe is not likely to bend on its standard agriculture protectionist measures for Mercosur any more than it did for the Doha negotiations as a whole. Thus, it will have to offer Brazil something appealing in exchange for a reduction in Brazil's industrial tariffs, a more rigorous intellectual property rights regime, and greater access to Brazil's financial, insurance, government procurement and maritime transportation sectors. Favorable ethanol import conditions are one of the best carrots the EU has to offer.
Of course, the EU structure requires unanimous consent for important trade-related decisions. Hence, even though EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson has made it clear that he does not believe local farmers can produce enough biofuels to meet the EU's objectives, and he explicitly said he does not want to see protectionist barriers against ethanol imports, it is quite possible that the environmental requirements will have to be beefed up to pass muster with all of the EU's constituents.
Brazilian President Luis Inacio "Lula" da Silva is also already taking steps to head off not only European environmental critics but also Cuba's Fidel Castro and Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, who perceive Brazil's ethanol push as an affront to Venezuela's Petrocaribe program and other oil diplomacy initiatives, and have warned that the expansion of biofuels production could raise food prices for the poor. Brazil has clamped down on forced plantation labor and is phasing out the burning off of the foliage in sugar cane fields -- a process used to facilitate manual harvesting -- in favor of mechanized harvesters. These measures will not be enough to satisfy Europe, however. While da Silva's confrontation with Castro and Chavez has been mostly rhetorical, Europe will require actual guarantees that its demands will be met. Ultimately, the result is likely to be increased standards for Brazilian agriculture, but not enough to fully open the gates of the European market for most producers.
The sustainability criteria that Europe eventually decides upon will need some form of accountability tied to certification. Enforcement mechanisms have been a central problem for the credibility of environmental and social codes of conduct in a wide range of industries, and the solutions that are proposed for the biofuel question -- as well as some of the specific standards imposed -- could become a model for further certification efforts aimed at other industrial agriculture crops.
Environmental and social requirements will further drive up the price of agriculture commodities. Agriculture prices have risen steadily for the past few years, driven in part by growing Chinese demand for soya, and corn and wheat prices have already risen in the United States as corn-based ethanol competes for farmland. These rising prices have helped buttress economic growth for the past few years in Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Bolivia.
Commodity prices tend to rise and fall cyclically, and Latin American countries often face political crises during the troughs. Thus, while Brazil's ethanol expansion gives it a chance to gain clout as a world leader, it will also indirectly help maintain high agriculture prices -- and, therefore, regional stability.

Villanova's unlikely winning class is not done yet
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Earlier in this decade, the fine run that Jay Wright had Villanova on was starting to slip away. The Wildcats were trending downward beyond the reality of not getting back to the Final Four after they made it in 2009. In fact, from 2010-13, the Wildcats had the worst three-season stretch since Wright's first three seasons on the Main Line, including a 13-19 season in the middle of that.
And then he brought in the group that changed it all. It's pretty remarkable, really, and while they haven't done it alone, the current crop of seniors has now won more games than any other class in Villanova history after Wednesday night's 66-57 win at Providence. At 118-15, they still have at least ten games to go to add to that total as well.
This group will also leave having never lost a Philadelphia Big 5 game, with all 16 of those wins coming by double digits. They won an in-season tournament every year. And of course, they will leave with at least one national championship ring.
It's not a group that arrived to much fanfare; none of the seniors were McDonald's All-Americans or heralded as one-and-done candidates. No one thought Josh Hart was a future Player of the Year candidate – indeed, there might not have been many who thought he was even a future first team All-Big East player. All three contributed as freshmen, then got better every year to where they are key players on a team hoping to repeat as national champions.
While all three did so to different degrees, they all had to wait their turn for an expanded role and the expanded results that often come with it. None of them had big minutes or roles handed to them. In fact, of the current Wildcats, sophomore guard Jalen Brunson is the only player to start more than a small number of games as a freshman.
"It started with Darryl (Reynolds)," said Wright. "Darryl really set the tone, waiting his turn three years. His patience really sets the tone for everybody in the program."
And while it was a solid group in all, no one thought that they, along with the departed Ryan Arcidiacono and Daniel Ochefu, were the core of a national championship team, let alone leaders of a team that could do it again. For that matter, the two classes with the most wins in program history are the class of 2016 and the current senior class.
With all of that in mind, this team is having a remarkable season in a sense not unlike the magical run they went on last year. During the NCAA Tournament, the Wildcats were amazing offensively, shooting over 58 percent from the field; this team shoots over 49 percent from the field and turns the ball over less than 11 times a game. In 12 of their 23 games, they have shot 50 percent or better from the field. Remember, this is a team that lost the aforementioned Arcidiacono and Ochefu, who were pivotal to last season's championship, and they are not being replaced by McDonald's All-Americans.
Lately, the Wildcats haven't played their best, losing at Marquette and having to rally to beat Virginia at the buzzer on Sunday before Wednesday night's win at Providence. That they still manage to win a game like the one on Wednesday night is promising for this team the rest of the way.
"We aren't playing great basketball right now, but we are finding a way to scrap it out, digging and clawing," said Wright.
Villanova is doing this with basically seven players. Phil Booth, who had a game-high 20 points in the championship game, has played in just three games due left knee inflammation, and Omari Spellman, one of the most highly-touted recruits of the Jay Wright era, was declared ineligible for this season. The latter development pressed Reynolds into an even bigger role than initially projected for him, and Mikal Bridges has had even more opportunity to break out and done so. For a stretch in the second half on Wednesday, Bridges was the best player on the floor.
While the Wildcats are not deep, the seven who play significant minutes all know how to play – and like the seniors, win.
"Their experience is really unique in college basketball, to think of what the three of them have been through together," Wright added of the seniors. "We are able to play, especially Kris and Josh at any position on the floor, even point guard, they both have done that for us."
Naturally, Wright doesn't want to get too caught up in what this group has accomplished because the season still has a lot of basketball remaining, possibly right up to the last day. The seniors have so elevated the program back up that this team is well on its way to a third straight season with at least 30 wins as we are in early February.
"I don't want to talk too much about them because they're not done," Wright said.

A montage of Bushism's
I have several projects in progress but none ready to be posted yet. So to keep you from getting bored, I post a video or a short story. I was going to stay away from politics until I saw this clip. Once I saw it, I could not resist sharing it with the readers of this site.
Remember this is the man, that the Republicans in the House and Senate have allowed to trash our liberties, our Constitution, and our laws with impunity, by abrogating their responsibility to conduct meaningful oversight of the Executive branch of our government. It's a sad thing when or representatives abandon their responsibilities in the interest of loyalty to a political party.
I want to keep bringing up a quote from James Madison one of our nations founding fathers.
The video above is a short music video about the genius that George Bush is by Goof.
Now some people suggest that the President's mental faculties have gone down hill in the last few years. They suggest that the George W. Bush we know today, isn't the same one from just 12 years ago. Here's a comparison, you can judge for yourself.
It's a scary thing when the man who has his finger on the nuclear launch trigger, also has a clearly declining mental state. Isn't it?

6:20. Calvin makes a good point at the beginning of his comment on the chapter, in saying "they then act most unreasonably who remain in the first elements, for they propose to themselves no end, as though a builder spent all his labor on the foundation, and neglected to build up the house."
How many of us by illustration have books that we've started, should have finished, but didn't or haven't until now? Books. Tasks. Careers. Family matters. It also applies in matters of salvation -- not its foundation, but going forward from the foundation.
Here is even a place in which the common practice of younger Christians is appropriate in mocking those "who remain in the first elements." Didn't the Lord also explicitly mention the mockery of those not finishing their tower, in Lk 14:29-30? How appropriate this is, in view of the letter to the Hebrews' purpose, for exhorting the hearers to not go back to "first principles," in particular, the Old Covenant. Calvin says "the foundation is laid for the sake of what is built on it."
We can develop an understanding of the place of 6:4ff. in this context as well. The author's concern is to "go on to maturity." (6:1). "And this we will do if God permits." (6:3). Then, as a final codacil to this task, (not as the main doctrine of salvation, as some would have it), before he starts with the things pertaining to going on to maturity, the writer of Hebrews brings up a strategy that doesn't work. Why? Perhaps there is yet another reason he hasn't explained why some want to go back to the foundations he mentions in 6:1. There may be a well-meaning attempt to re-gather those who have fallen away, by starting at the beginning again with them. The author does a very short recap of why this fails.
In short, if someone is "crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm...," (6:6), they are not going to be helped by the "foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God," lesson one, again. They have gotten to farther in the book and harmed themselves by rejecting not only the book, but their own later experience. They need not chapter one, water, but their weeds to be burned.
A well-meaning attempt (by going back to what all agreed upon before, and starting over with the Old Covenant beginnings), in order to regather those who are exposing Christ to open shame, the writer says is impossible. So he goes on. So consider that another reason to move on to maturity -- even for the sake of the possible deserters -- going back to first principles doesn't help.
What does the writer of Hebrews says helps! Surprise, the "unchangeable character of God's purpose." (6:17) This is good to remember in all cases: "the soul," here (not "some souls," as in a "you're soul is out, mine's in..." -- the writer is not separating wheat from tares here!), "the soul," as such, has something to hold onto, not just itself or the Old Covenant temporariness. And as we know, if the anchor of the soul were only a weight inside of us, whether we're far away, or close, we would really sink. But it's outside us.

I've been addicted to making these corner bookmarks. ATS had it as one of their weekly challenges a while back, and I finally got around to watching the tutorial. They are so easy to make! And you can decorate them however you want, even adjust the size. And they're a GREAT way to use up those scraps that have been hanging around your craft table too long! I made a whole slew of them and giving them out to my friends who love to read.
Here are some more I made....
I love quotes! I think I'll make some more to sell using my other quote stamps. I made a few cute kiddo ones with frogs and bugs on them. Inspiring kids to read is always a good thing!
Materials: I used a bunch of different products for all of these. If you'd like to know what they were, just leave a comment.

TITLE – Recombined SERIES – The Irrevocable Series, Book 3 AUTHOR – Samantha Jacobey GENRE – New Adult PUBLICATION DATE – September 1, 2015 LENGTH (Pages/# Words) - Approx. 160 pages/52K words PUBLISHER – Lavish Publishing COVER ARTIST – Nicolene Lorette Designs
RECOMBINED - An Irrevocable Series Novel… Can mankind survive an apocalypse of his own making?
Bailey and Caleb fled civilization in light of impending disaster. Fighting to make their way south, they struggled to rejoin their survivalist friends and relatives. After facing crowds hell-bent on securing supplies… After getting the better of a marauding band of misfits… The couple arrive back at The Ranch, only to discover the place is deserted. Soon, a lone survivor emerges, explaining the group's mysterious disappearance and the dangers they face in the ransacked hideaway.
Joining forces, the trio sets to work, restoring order to their desert oasis. Making repairs, as well as plans, they are soon joined by a few who had made a daring escape. Refusing to leave the others behind, tempers flare and lines are drawn, while the young couple struggles to define their relationship. In a desperate attempt to rescue the remainder of their comrades, the group moves into their bunker, prepared to hang on until the bitter end. Will they succeed in saving Bailey's brothers, as well as the rest of their comrades? Or will the renegade town of Pouty put an end to Lawson once and for all...
"I know. Like I said, we've only had snow here a few times, an' I'm not even sure Carson was old enough t' remember it," he glanced over at the slumbering boy, not wishing him to see the display the couple would make against the growing daylight.
Shifting her gaze so that she could see the younger male as well, she mused aloud, "Maybe we should enjoy it a bit today. Play in it a little, while we can."
"Maybe so," he tightened his grip on her, feeding on her willingness to be held. Pushing his nose against her, he blew warm air across her ear. "I think you may be my snow angel, Bailey," his voice low, his words were only for her.
She gasped with a wide grin, her breath creating a small amount of fog on the glass, "I thought we were just friends," she used a finger to make dots in the coating.
Samantha Jacobey is a middle aged woman who earned a BS in Business Management and has worked in half a dozen fields. With a relentless zest for life, she enjoys action and adventure, as well as all the love and romance it has to offer. Creating stories in her mind for many years, she has put some of them into print for the world to share, and hopes you will enjoy reading them as much as she did creating them. What drives her most is the love of a good story and is confident you will enjoy her latest creation.
Where are you from? I live in Midland, Texas, and grew up in a neighboring town.
Tell us your latest news? My latest news is the release of RECOMBINED – the finale to my IRREVOCABLE SERIES. I can't wait for you guys to see how it all goes down.
When and why did you begin writing? I have always been a daydreamer, and love making up stories. After about twenty years of working on the plot line, I finally put part of the New Life Series on paper and published it eighteen months ago. At seven segments long, I learned a great deal from that first one, and hope that I am getting better with each new series.
When did you first consider yourself a writer? I still don't really consider myself a writer. I am an author and story teller. Writer sounds too stiff and formal to me, and mostly I am enjoying sharing my crazy adventures.
What inspired you to write your first book? My first book is very dark, and stems from a sad history. There are bits of truth, both mine and others, woven in and coloring the things that happen in it. That is the funniest part of all this to me – people often can't tell which parts are real and which parts I made up, and that makes me feel wonderful inside.
Do you have a specific writing style? I think that my style changes somewhat, depending on the story. In Captive and Bound, I am HIGHLY descriptive of the environment and much of the story is narrated, mainly because my main character is experiencing things we take for granted for the first time. However, in others, I only give a cursory description. The same is true with dialogue – it fits the situation. I guess my style would be 'flexible'.
How did you come up with the title? I want my titles to be representative of what is going on in the story, but I learned the hard way that they also need to be marketable. With my most recent works, I also check them on Amazon to make sure they are not over-used, as well.
Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp? There is always a message beneath the surface of my stories. However, the last thing I want to do is be preachy, so I try to keep it subtle, and you more or less feel it, like an undercurrent, rather than splashing you square in the face.
How much of the book is realistic? Wow – this is a GREAT question! As a science teacher, I have had the privilege of teaching a few thousand students about the connection between us and the earth. That's really what the IRREVOCABLE series is about – our place on the planet. Everyone wants to read an end of the world scenario that is exciting, and I think I have given my readers that, but for me, it also had to be realistic. That's what this is – something that COULD happen, or maybe even already is…
Are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life? Another great question. I dedicated this story to my mother, and many of the things that are in the story I saw and experienced as I was growing up. Preppers are becoming a popular topic, but my family had at least some parts of that mentality forty years ago, when I was a kid. I put as much of that as I could into the story and used it to really bring their world to life.
If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor? I always choose Charles Dickens for this: write about what you know, use character names that are symbolic, and use sound grammar and syntax. Plus the crazy plot twist here and there never hurts.
What would you like my readers to know? I love telling new and exciting stories, so if I have not written one in your favorite genre, it's bound to happen eventually.

Hey ya'll! Can we give a big "Thank God" for Paulina today? Not only is the store crazy, but I'm also suffering from a bad case of bloggers' block. This post was previously supposed to publish tomorrow, but I could not for the life of me think of a good post for today! As all of you know, I'm not going to post something that I feel is written
half-ass not well. So, since Paulina got me her post WAYYYY in advance, she's going to make a premature premiere! Everyone play nice and enjoy!
Hello to all of Lizzy's awesome readers! If you don't know me, I don't blame you. I am kind of odd. Any way, my name is Paulina and I blog over on Discovering Simply Me. Where I hot-messingly attempt to figure out what I am going to do with my life and where it's going to take me. Hence the hot mess of it all.
Today I would like to share with you a story when I tried to stalk someone. Yes, I have tried to do this before. And please notice the word tried in the previous sentence because it was an utter failure.
Now this isn't the way we get to stalk people like we do now. There was no Twitter. Shocker right? Or maybe it just wasn't popular yet, but that's beside the point. I do know, however, that this was a time before Facebook-stalking became a thing too.
So, yes; we are talking about sitting in a parking lot with sunglasses, hats and binoculars.
|Me cia 2008 getting ready for the stalk.
We took the day off. Bought huge sunglasses and hats. Since I drove a bright yellow beetle and apparently those two things would hide us.
Then waited for a parking spot near his car. Looked out in the rear-view mirrors and waited. Then waited some more since everyday he took his lunch at a different time.
Two hours have passed. We frantically started texting our friends inside hoping they can convince him to go take his lunch.
Another hour passes and one of our friends finally get the nerve to speak to him. Meanwhile. we are starting to complain of hunger. Well, cause we were.
The phone vibrates (since this is a stalk and we can't have our Spice Girl ringtones going off) and crap-o-la: neither one of us had iPhones yet either.
Her phone was crap! It would shut-off half the time and freeze.
We reboot the phone and open the message.
We reboot the phone and open the message.
Livid! We were livid. We sat in my car for three hours for nothing!
So what did we do? Got out of the car, dragged our friends to subway, and then went to my house bummed, sad & utter failures.
So to all of you youngsters out there: you guys are so lucky stalking has become so much easier. Twitter and Facebook has made your lives so much simpler. Stalking is just a few simple clicks and you can do it all in the comfort of your own home.
However; if you ever want to give it a try, here is some advice: do more research about the person before-hand and don't do it in the middle of summer. It's too hot then.
Now for my plug: if you want to hear more crazy stories or want to find out if I ever got my life together; you can find all that out here, here or here. Ta Ta Lizzy's readers, hope you enjoyed.
Who wants to go on a stalking mission with me? I feel like this needs to be something on everyone's bucket list. A massive thanks to Paulina for guest-posting for me, and you should all go check her out! You may find a guest-post there from me here soon (I just have to get around to writing it).
On another note, I am now currently booked in free ad-swaps with 3 on back-up if one of my current ones were to back-out at the end of their time or I find my button is not on their blog. Due to high 'demand' (I feel so professional), I can't offer unlimited free ad-swaps. It would just make my page crazy. However, I do offer VERY CHEAP ad space for purchase on my sponsor page! Be sure to check-it-out :)

What is being prepared worldwide is a "mix" of all sorts of weapons and attacks -- everything from terrorists armed with incredibly developed pathogens and already inserted in various nations, etc. -- worldwide. Every major nation is also already "seeded" with clandestine nuclear weapons placed in its large cities, ready to annihilate them. E.g., the highest ranking GRU defector to the U.S. is Lunev. In his book (passed by the CIA), Lunev even tells some of the ways that the Russians secretly brought such nuclear weapons into the United States, easily. Quoting Stanislov Lunev and Ira Winkler, Through the Eyes of the Enemy: Russia's Highest Ranking Military Defector Reveals Why Russia Is More Dangerous Than Ever, Regnery, Washington, D.C., 1998,
Quoting p. 22:
"Though most Americans don't realize it, America is already penetrated by Russian military intelligence to the extent that arms caches lie in wait for use by Russian special forces — or Spetznatz."
Quoting p. 26:
"It is surprisingly easy to smuggle nuclear weapons into the United States. A commonly used method is for a Russian airplane to fly across the ocean on a typical reconnaissance flight. The planes will be tracked by U.S. radar, but that's not a problem. When there are no other aircraft in visual range, the Russian airplane will launch a small, high-tech, stealth transport missile that can slip undetected into remote areas of the country. The missiles are retrieved by GRU operatives. Another way to get a weapon into the country is to have an 'oceanographic research' submarine deliver the device—accompanied by GRU specialists—to a remote section of coastline. Nuclear devices can also be slipped across the Mexican or Canadian borders. It is easy to get a bomb to Cuba and from there transport it to Mexico. Usually the devices are carried by a Russian intelligence officer or a trusted agent."
Quoting p. 30:
"Other instruments of destruction the Russians have had success with are seismic weapons. Spitac and other small towns in the Transcaucasus Mountains were almost destroyed during a seismic weapons test that set off an earthquake. This would have obvious applications on America's west coast and other areas of the world prone to earthquakes."
As you can see from the latter quotation, Lunev was actually referring to the LWIs and their use to initiate earthquakes, precisely what Secretary Cohen confirmed in 1997. Again, the news media are completely asleep.
Those planning the self-destruction of civilization about 2007, also appear to have lots of help from the quarreling nations themselves. The nations of the earth are so beset by petty quarrels (Arab against Jew, Jew against Arab, Saddam Hussein thirsting to disrupt and control the MidEast and much of the oil supply, one group against another) and so blinded by these "local" bloodthirsty concerns and so intent on killing one another that they become willing pawns and tools for manipulation upon the grand chessboard, not even realizing they are serving the ends of hidden game-players manipulating them as silly pawns.
Our technical understanding now is such that well-funded research can quickly break out into production of self-powering electrical power systems, easily manufactured, to replace the present incredibly wasteful power systems which in effect have us all by the throat (as California has just shown). Make no mistake, the rising energy needs and oil needs in Asia alone will reach the level of the energy needs of today's United States, about 7-10 years from now. The day of "cheap oil" is ended, and the world will never be the same again. The economic collapse is coming this decade, unless this energy crisis is quickly and permanently solved.
But we have the answer to the energy crisis, and it can be solved forever, once any nation commits sufficient scientific resources to do the rest of the research and development. We are placing information on the solution on our website, www.cheniere.org, as fast as we can. The energy crisis part of it can be solved completely in two years, if we can get the conventional scientific community uprooted from its terrible fascination with a horrible old electrodynamics riddled with errors, that absolutely excludes and does not even model the active vacuum interaction with every system.
Generators and batteries in fact do not power their attached circuits anyway, but just make dipoles. The dipole -- as is very well-known in particle physics -- extracts energy from the vacuum, transforms it into usable, real EM energy, and pours out that energy in all directions, freely and indefinitely so long as the dipole exists. So the real problem is in the terrible "mindset" of the energy scientists and engineers. But real production electrical power systems have to be rolling off the assembly lines en masse no later than first quarter 2004, in spite of that mindset, or it is all over for civilization anyway. We will continue to do everything we can to assist in meeting that "point of no return" in first quarter 2004. If that deadline is missed, humanity goes right down the tube to its destruction. The MidEast, e.g., is on the very brink of war right now, and if it explodes, it will also involve all the developed nations, with WMD strikes occurring right in their large population centers. In the U.S., e.g., we could wake up one morning and have 20 million Americans dying of anthrax, smallpox, etc. right in the streets.
Meanwhile, some nations such as the KGB/Russia along with their Yakuza/Aum Shinrikyo protégés are maneuvering in the shadows, continually attempting to arrange a great strategic strike that will devastate the entire West and its allies. That continues; we have narrowly avoided such strikes several times since January 1997. Only time will tell how it all comes out. Just now the good guys are not doing very well, content in a complacent electrodynamics science obsolete after 136 years, and the bad guys are very far ahead. We hope to see that change very rapidly.
Thanks for your interest, and I hope this sheds some light in answer to your question,

And here I thought I was getting into a good groove again. Ah well. No time like the present to break a trend.
Again, lots going on and very little time to appreciate it, less write about it. Big news of this week: Wednesday was my five-year anniversary for McDonald's sobriety. I am really quite proud of myself – it was a 90-day challenge back in 2005, but when that 90 days ended, I found I really had no desire to go back to it. And I really haven't missed it, either. In the last five years, the only fast food I have eaten has been pizza, Subway (but only a handful of times, and I hated it each time), and once I went to Roy Rogers with my aunt on the way up to Vermont because it was the only food on the highway. I had a chicken sandwich and a salad. It was gross.
I can honestly say that I don't miss the grease and that I feel healthier for making this choice in my life. I don't think I'll ever go back to McDonald's, unless it was the last place on earth and I was starving.
I've been getting very caught up in the moment and trying to do what's "right." This has meant late nights at the gym and trying to cook all my meals and get to the supermarket, all after a long day at the office. I come home tired and wasted from the effort. So today I gave it up, came home, took a nap, and have puttered around doing nothing of importance.
EXCEPT: Today Billy and I officially paid off all of our credit card debt. That just leaves another $49,000 (give or take $10 grand) in debts left to pay off. Hooray! I am still waiting to stumble onto that money tree – I should have figured out how much I spend on McDonald's and put all that aside into savings to pay off my debts. Now that would have been special.

As some of you know I love to bake and I usually stick to areas of baking that I know well. A couple of weeks ago I started to want pie because I thought it would be fun to go sit down at Lulu's (from the movie Waitress) and order a piece of wonderful pie. I then forgot about my craving and have baked cookies and brownies instead. Then late last week I happened across a local chef on public television who was making pie and it renewed my creative juices. On saturday I embarked on a new pie recipe but of course I didn't follow the recipe to the letter. I instead created my very own version of it. The results have proved extremely yummy and now of course I have ideas for other pies.
I came up with chocolate coconut cream pie with a macadamia nut crust. I am not one who usually likes coconut in things, in fact in many commercially made baked goods I find it over used in the wrong things. In my pie I made sure to use unsweetened coconut which worked wonderfully and did not make an overly sweet pie.

Good Eats: Cookies and Cream Cupcakes
here.) I wanted to make a good impression on my fellow wardmates, so I brainstormed some good eats ideas. Nay was in a cookie mood, so she suggested Cookies and Cream cupcakes. At first I was hesitant, but I found a recipe. (Here)
Aaaand, it was a hit!
Seriously, these are good stuff. A little on the rich side, so they are definitely a special time dessert. But they are soo good.
When I was topping them off with the icing, I kind of felt like DC Cupcakes except without all the drama and whining. I don't really understand the whole cupcake craze. I mean, seriously, a whole wedding cake out of cupcakes? But they are ok sometimes, and this recipe is so good. It's definitely going in my cookbook.

5 to Drive Rules Help Prevent Halloween-Related Teen Car Accident
"5 to Drive" National Teen Driver Safety Week (October 16th – 22nd) is the perfect time to talk to your teen about safe driving habits and Arizona teen driver laws. Especially, with all the distractions that go along with Halloween just around the corner. Costumed characters on streets and in parking lots, parties and other nighttime activities increase the odds of a teen car accident.
Of course anyone can be involved in a car accident, but teens are at particular risk. In 2013 alone, 2,163 U.S. teens age 16-19 were killed in vehicle accidents. Another 243,243 were treated in emergency rooms for injuries that were the result of a motor vehicle crash.
At Lerner and Rowe, our Yuma personal in jury attorneys have experience representing car accidents caused by inexperienced or dangerous teen drivers. In an effort to encourage teens to be smarter and proactive drivers, we're sharing NHTSA's "5 to Drive" rules.
"5 to Drive" Rules
The following "5 to Drive" rules were created to keep teen drivers safe behind the wheel:
- Don't drink and drive.
The legal drinking age in Arizona is 21, so teens shouldn't have alcohol at any time, but particularly when they're behind the wheel. Parents and guardians need to set a good example by never drinking and driving.
- Always buckle up.
Whether passengers are in the back seat or front seat, the driver needs to check and make sure that each person in the car is buckled up before taking off.
- Eliminate distractions.
Driving should demand teen drivers' full attention, especially on Halloween, when kids may unexpectedly dart across the street. Arizona doesn't have a statewide ban on texting while driving, but the cities of Tucson, Phoenix, and Flagstaff, as well as Pima and Coconino counties, do.
- Don't speed.
Speeding is dangerous for drivers of any age, but even more so for less experienced drivers. Not only does it reduce a driver's reaction time, it also takes longer to stop if a pedestrian or other road hazard should appear.
- Have no more than one passenger.
A car full of passengers is a distraction that increases the chances of a teen driver getting into an accident. In Arizona, teen drivers are restricted to the number of passengers they are allowed to have until they reach a certain age.
24/7 Yuma Teen Car Accident Attorneys
If you or a loved one has been injured in a teen-related car accident, contact the experienced and board certified attorneys at Lerner and Rowe 24/7. Make one call to 928-344-6200 or chat with a live repetitive online. Our Yuma office hours are 8:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m., but we're available around the clock.

(IFW-net.com) Maersk's new ships have been ordered from South Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, and are scheduled for delivery between 2013 and 2015.The deal includes an option for 20 more such vessels, which would make it worth $5.4 billion – the largest single contract in the history of shipping.
Possibly the main reason for so many headlines about the ships, known as Triple-E vessels, is their scale: they have a capacity of 18,000teu, 16% more than the current largest vessel, Emma Maersk; they will be 400 metres long; 59 metres wide; 73 metres high; and have a draught of 16 metres.
They will be the largest ships sailing the world's oceans. Not however the largest ever built, this was the tanker Knock Nevis, which was 458 metres long. And while the Triple-Es are 16% larger than the Emma Maersk in terms of capacity, they are only four metres longer, three metres wider and half a metre higher. The extra carrying capacity is due to their u-shaped hull, as opposed to the current v-shape of most ships today.
The ships' environmental credentials are also impressive: the Triple-Es will produce 20% less carbon per container moved than Emma Mærsk, and 50% less than the industry average on the Asia-Europe trade lane.
This is largely due to increased economies of scale. A smaller engine will produce a lower top speed, of around 19 knots, a heat recovery system will capture and reuse energy from the engine exhaust gas for extra propulsion and they will have two propellers as well as their specially optimised u-shaped hull.
Maersk Line is also introducing a "cradle-to-cradle passport" for the Triple-E ships. This means all the materials used to build them will be documented and mapped, so when they are retired from service, the document will ensure all the materials can be recycled or disposed of in the safest, most efficient manner.
Daryl Ridgway, Maersk customer Kuehne + Nagel's Senior VP of sea freight for North-west Europe, believes KN could use the environmental credentials of the new ships to win business from customers concerned with the impact their supply chain has on the environment.
The economies of scale offered by the Triple-Es' capacity should also result in cost savings. CEO of Maersk Line Eivind Kolding says the new vessels will reduce transport costs by around 20-30% per container.
But members of IFW's LinkedIn group are questioning whether the reduced costs will be passed on to shippers.
One member, from a shipping firm, points out that freight rates are based on supply and demand, meaning bigger ships do not necessary equate to lower rates.
Kolding says the ships will only call at around three or four ports in North Europe and has named Rotterdam, Felixstowe and Bremerhaven as three potential calls. But this has caused concerns that there will be an increase in transhipment and cause congestion at the ports because of the time it will take to unload the ships – issues that could be exaggerated if other carriers follow suit and order ships of the same size.
Andrew Traill, Policy Director at the European Shippers' Council and MD of online forum Shippers' Voice, says: "Has anyone stopped to ask what impact these ships will have on service for those shippers whose goods will need to be transhipped?"
A shipper adds: "We can't afford to risk waiting for connecting vessels that might be four or five days after arrival at the transhipment point. And if there is a delay to the connection, will the lines accept responsibility for claims on product we can't use?"
Regarding delays caused by congestion, there seems to be consensus that ports will need to step-up and increase berth productivity, something Maersk Line's General Manager of Terminal Strategy, Soren Thomsen, recently indicated was an area of concern.
On the question of whether containerships will keep getting bigger, Kolding says: "We have raised the bar again, and it is our belief that this size of ship will be the largest you will see for quite some time.
"Theoretically, you could make ships longer, but that would mean certain ports would need to expand their capacity. And making them wider would be more difficult, because container cranes today can only reach across 23 or 24 rows."
However, he adds: "But we cannot exclude the possibility that we will be standing here in the future announcing a new record."

"They asked for a meeting with dislocated white-collar workers who have an association with a community college," said Lois S. Golian, their U.S. Department of Labor escort who set up the visit.
Mostly, they got their wish.
The group of 33 men and three women representing government and industry are here for a two-day labor symposium beginning today in Washington.

I think I've been watching too much Nashville. But in reality there is no such thing as too much Nashville! It's awesome! And I love Connie!
This year for Valentines Day I did not go as crazy as last year. I didn't overextend myself with crazy crafty project. Instead I bought Valentine Day cards, hole punched them and added a lollipop. Easy peasy! I wasn't crying over heart shaped petals that didn't stay glued together. (I realized that I was traumatized by the experience, I didn't even write a blog post about it. Live and learn.)
Then for the party, they had a sign up sheet, so I chose munchkins. Easy right? This was instead of making red peppermint heart shaped meringues. It would have been cute or I would have been crying. This morning when I hit the Dunkin Donut, they ran out of munchkins. So I got half dozen donuts. O asked to eat one for breakfast. Instead I gave her my apple. I can't wait to get her home tonight, high on sugar.
For DH, I'm going to stop and buy half dozen French macaroons. DELICIOUS! And maybe we will get sushi for take out.
Perfect Valentine's Day!
What are your big plans? Are going to dinner? Did you get a babysitter? Are you staying and putting the kids to bed early and enjoy the first episode of Survivor??
UPDATE Post Valentine Day
After much soul searching, I decided to take Valentine day cards, add hole punches, and include a big ass lollipop. It wasn't time consuming. I got a list of all the kids in O's pre-k class and I got to work. DH thought I was going overboard, but I think kids like candy, a card is just not the same.
Well, let me tell you. I did NOT go overboard. Instead,
my O's valentines were on the less impressive side. I mean, when did Valentine's day become such a toy centered holiday? I thought it was all about flowers and candy and chocolates and stuff bears. But O came home with this loot:
I mean what the F??

(*cough* One of my favorite books *cough*)
Title: The Looking Glass Wars
Author: Frank Beddor
Review by: The Golden Eagle
Genre: Fantasy
Rating: 5 out of 5
It starts out with Alyss Heart, Princess of Wonderland, on her birthday. On that day, her aunt Redd, who was originally the heir to the throne, decides to take over Wonderland and dispose of her sister Genevieve. Ordered by his queen to protect Alyss, Hatter Madigan and the princess escape through the Pool of Tears. They are, unfortunately, separated in the Pool, and Alyss seems forever lost to Wonderland. Hatter, of course, being the head--or, more precisely, the former head of the Millinery--searches for Alyss all over time and the world, but to no avail.
I really enjoyed this book (it is a trilogy) and it has a good balance of different aspects. There is vengeance, (you really cannot have a good book without it) power-driven plots, (Redd in particular) scheming denizens, amazing fighters and war strategy, manipulation, emotion, and, of course, romance.
The really interesting thing about this book, is how the people in it manage to outwit their opponents, with Imagination. Imagination is simply the ability to, well, imagine things. It is used for war and anything else, but only some have it. It is either Imagination, or brute strength or some special skill. Hatter Madigan is such a person, since he is one with Millinery abilities; i. e. extremely formidable fighting techniques, including a top hat that turns into a flying blade.
One thing that I really appreciate, is that Frank Beddor did not overplay the romance in the least. You will not find the much and gush of Twilight in this trilogy, and that is an excellent attribute. Dodge and Alyss are in love, every book has some romance it seems, but it is quieter, and they are able to balance their priorities. And it is not as easy as Meyer's characters or a more love-oriented book; Dodge and Alyss are more complex and much, much more interesting.
So my summary is: Read this book, and probably everyone can find something in it that appeals to them.

I'm so glad that somebody does like this book. I love it, I totally agree with you and more!ReplyDelete
Thank you for this review.ReplyDelete
This has been popular in my library ever since the Alice in Wonderland movie came out. It was okay-- I'm not a huge fantasy fan.ReplyDelete
I really love this series (except for the last one, I liked it just not as much as the others). You should also check out the Hatter Madigan graphic novels. The art is pretty cool and the tales are a little bit darker, but equally fun to see the famous people he runs into throughout time.ReplyDelete
