Have you ever seen a sky that particular color with the sun shining in that particular way? I never have before. It's a miracle what we see each day outside our doors and windows.
I have this theory: it's very dangerous to name things. To call things by names such as rocks, cattails, swamps, rivers. So often, once we assign a name to something, our mind automatically labels and categories it. Then, the next time we see, say, a rock, the mind dismisses it as "just a rock" and refuses to look closer and truly see what's there.
Did anyone lean closer to look at the secret hieroglyphics? I must admit to provoking you to peer deeper at the rock. Do you see the wavy dancing movements in it? The stone literally moves with indentations swirling through. However, we might miss this if we glanced briefly and allowed our mind to label it "just a rock" and move on to the next picture which might be labeled "just a bunch of cattails".
I learned about the perils of naming and labeling back in the early 1990's when learning all about wildflowers and plants. Suddenly a new world opened up and I ran breathless between white and yellow and purple and blue and golden and orange blooms rising out of the earth. What was this one? And that shy beauty? And that multi-splendored blossom? I bought piles of identification books and began to pour through them, locating the exact replica photo and announcing with definitive joy "That one is a wild aster." "This one is a jack-in-the-pulpit." "Oh and that one is the nodding trillium!"
However, something strange then happened. The minute the beautiful-unknown-mysterious-absolutely-magnificent flower was named, I lost fascination with it. On to the next unidentified species. And to the next. The flowers never shimmered so brightly as when I truly peered at the nameless creatures, truly present with them. At that moment it could have been anything. Anything! Later it was just an "aster". Alas.
The challenge, if we must learn names in this lifetime, is to refuse to let the names deaden our perception. Let's call things by their many beautiful names, but allow our sight and smell and touch to linger beside them. To refuse to allow our mind to limit the magnificence and uniqueness of the individual tree, or plant, or animal…or person. (OK, what's the name of that plant in the above photo? Anyone know? I promise not to lose fascination with it…)
Speaking of people, the eight or nine women at book club last night sat out on the deck in 70 degree temperatures. What a delightful summer-like experience in mid-April. (Thanks to Emma at treehousejukebox for pointing out that I had originally typed mid-May. It has something to do with the "Dreaming of Summer photo blog below, I'm sure.) However, I must lament that summer beat a fast retreat and today the thermometer hovers at 39 degrees. Does that feel cold!
Here's a local scene (Three Lakes) which shows the inland lake still covered with ice but the summer rowboats ready to launch when it melts.
Good evening. I'm tempted to start counting days that remain here in southern Florida before the big silver & red plane rises through the clouds and soars toward the Midwest. Tomorrow, Tuesday and then…heading back to snow country on Wednesday.
But we won't dwell in the future for more than a second. Let's stay here in the present. I'll show you some more random photos tonight, probably not embedded in any coherent tale. The above photo shows the view you'll see peeking through a curtain of leaves overlooking a backwater channel. I love tiptoeing back there and peering in the underbrush.
A wise person looks around for alligators and snakes. Mom says there's a small alligator sunning away over on the golf course, about a mile away. Otherwise, you never see any of the scaly exotic beasts. If I see one, I want an escape route, especially if it starts slinking this-away.
So, what was today's outdoor adventure? Let's pick two. The first really fun time happened this morning around the pool. After looking for a manatee or dolphin for you for ten minutes (sigh…) I gathered a notebook and began writing down by the pool. Oh can you imagine the joy to write outside? No freezing fingers! Oh luxury!
I probably shouldn't tell you about what I wrote. You will scurry away from this blog and never return, convinced you're dealing with a mentally-suspect person. But it was such fun! Since it was Sunday, I was praising life, the Universe, God and the swimming pool with gusto in the white notebook pages. Trying to put it all on paper, you know.
But then I got a little carried away and started imagining if inanimate objects could talk…what they might say. When I started writing about the beach towel on the nearby reclining beach chair, and what it might say…it was probably time to close the notebook and take a hike. We creative folks tend to get carried away sometimes. (This is an exercise in the book "The Artist's Way" called "Morning Pages" where you write whatever stray thoughts wander through your mind…a fascinating and fun process.)
Later in the evening my mom, dad and I took cold drinks out to the boat, along with our books and magazines, and read. The folks own a deck boat, which resembles a pontoon. We're hoping to go out on it tomorrow or Tuesday. It's been so windy we've not ventured out on the Back Bay yet.
As we were reading, a few boats motored by in the channel. My mom uttered, "I wonder if there would be an interesting picture…" and just as she spoke a manatee surfaced! I grabbed the camera, turned it on and focused. The manatee disappeared. Never to re-appear. It's going to be a gift of the Universe if we photograph one of these elusive fellows in the next few days.
I bought three books today at Borders, using a Christmas gift card. No lack of reading material now!
Finally, one of the best parts of being in Florida: enjoying the tropical fruit. Oh look at this papaya cut open! Are your taste buds salivating? Leaving you all now and heading to the frig for a juicy morsel…
For some of us readers winter is a delicious season to curl up with a book on the couch propped up with soft pillows and burrowed in warm blankets. A cup of hot tea sits on the nearby table and we luxuriate in our reading world for hours on end as the snow falls gently outside the windows.
Today I thought: Why shouldn't we read outside in the winter?
Now you're certain I've gone crazy with this outdoors commitment, aren't you? (Wrong! This is simply creativity coming to the forefront.)
I decided against attempting a novel. You want something which allows you to read a paragraph or so, glance upwards, admire the trees, smile at the sun, then begin reading again. Poetry would be perfect! You could read a stanza, then allow your eyes to wander to the landscape while the words are properly digested.
I examined my poetry library. Two books. One, The Moon is Always Female by Marge Piercy. A lovely read! Two, The Essential Rumi.
It obviously had to be Rumi. There's something about Rumi which befuddles the mind and leaves your soul and spirit resonating, "Yes! Yes!" Rumi would approve of reading outside at 10 degrees. Anything a bit crazy would have Rumi praising God backwards and upside down.
I leaned against the back deck and began to read. Heavy mittens prevent easy turning of pages, so one must allow the Universe to determine the appropriate poem.
Here is part of the poem that announced itself (entitled The Dream that Must be Interrupted):
We began
as a mineral. We emerged into plant life
and into the animal state, and then into being human,
and always we have forgotten our former states,
except in early spring when we slightly recall
being green again.
That's how a young person turns
toward a teacher. That's how a baby leans
toward the breast, without knowing the secret
of its desire, yet turning instinctively.
Humankind is being led along an evolving course,
through this migration of intelligences,
and though we seem to be sleeping,
there is an inner wakefulness
that directs the dream,
and that will eventually startle us back
to the truth of who we are
After you read those words look up at the trees and see if they don't agree. And don't you love that line: except in the early spring when we slightly recall being green again?
The only problem with reading outside at such cold temperatures is exposed skin. Such as one's nose. It got cold. However, I solved that problem. When it became too chilly, I shoveled. Read poetry, feel the wisdom, survey the landscape, shovel.
I thoroughly recommend this outdoor reading to everyone! Let me know how it goes! You can do it!!
Just returned home from our book club meeting. It's far too close to bedtime to be writing an intelligent blog. But will try to do "literary" justice to the experience.
Between 7-12 of us meet about once every couple months to discuss books. At least we allegedly meet to discuss books. I would estimate we spend 25% of our time together sharing books and the remaining 75% socializing. A potluck highlights the evening, of course. But tonight we did something a little different: five of us went snowshoeing before the meeting.
We usually take turns visiting each others homes. Tonight Jennifer hosted the gathering. (She's been too busy to attend book club recently, so we were all delighted to reconnect with her.) We all strapped on our snowshoes, prepared to hike in the snowy woods.
All of us sported the light aluminum snowshoes except Nancy. She later announced she would be buying a new pair before the next hike. Her boots refused to stay firmly in the straps.
We wandered through the very snowy woods for awhile, enjoying the beautiful cedar trees. No real trail marked our walk, so we occasionally ducked under branches. Suddenly, to the left, an old chair appeared, sitting covered with snow out in the middle of the woods. Of course the book club mentality set in and we opted for a photo shoot with our members pretending to read a book. Jennifer is holding an actual book (and you may wonder how a book appeared in our hands out on the hike? Actually it is a datebook or calendar, but it served as an appropriate photo prop.) For anyone who's interested the snowshoers in the above photo are Sue, Joanne, Nancy and Jennifer.
At our last meeting in December we rolled dice fast and furiously, attempting to win our preferred wrapped book. No one knew anything about the books we tried to win. If you rolled doubles, you chose the wrapped book. If the next person rolled doubles, she could choose another book or steal your book from you. This is our traditional Christmas book club fun.
Thus, this meeting we discussed the books we won in the dice-throwing games. I won "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" in December and enthusiastically recommended it to our readers.
We debated for a long time about next club's selection. Finally we chose "The Good Earth" by Pearl S. Buck. I think I may have read it a few decades ago, but it's a classic. So will look forward to reading this again for our April meeting.
Let's hope there's not enough snow to snowshoe by then…
The last time I drove out to Roland Lake alone, maybe four years ago, I was listening to CDs by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. She's the author of "Women Who Run with the Wolves", an incredible book of myths and stories of the "Wild Woman Archetype".
She uses stories to teach, instruct and empower women (heck, I think the stories would empower both sexes!) The CDs came from Sounds True, and I believe they were called "Theater of the Imagination". Stories like The Crescent Moon Bear, Skeleton Woman, The Three Old Ones and The Fisherman's Wife sparked such deep feelings and spiritual connections. I thoroughly recommend her works to anyone in love with magical words and stories, in love with the power of stories to wake us up beyond our everyday perceptions.
Today, without any stories in the background (except for the running stories in my mind interspersed with precious silence) I buckled on the snowshoes and began the slow meandering through swamp and woods, keeping the eye alert for treasures of nature.
First, tracks imprinted in the snow appeared. I think I probably failed Tom Brown Jr.'s wilderness survival school all those years ago, because I had no clue as to the identity of the tracks today. I probably failed Tracking 101 (if we'd received grades, which we didn't), except in the case of deer, rabbit, squirrel, chipmunk, mouse and bird. Perhaps I could identify a bear track in the heat of summer if it was encased in good dirt and accompanied by scat.
Today's tracks looked like dog, coyote or wolf. I imagined they were wolf tracks, probably due to the romantic myths dramatized by Clarissa on the CD during the last trip. I pondered the appropriate behavior if meeting a wolf in the woods. Run? Stand still? Growl? Shout? Look big? Avert eyes?
I am hoping some sort of instinct or guidance just happens. You'll see the wolf, perhaps even eye to eye, and a voice in your head will instruct, "Walk slowly away to the left with confidence" or "Run like hell!" Anyway, that's my back-up plan. When meeting flesh and blood wolves or bear (as opposed to mythical story-wolves) , something inside will advise the appropriate course of action. If it doesn't….goodbye blog!
On that rather gruesome note, let's interject another photo:
I know! Just at the right moment, when a wolf or bear crosses your path, a ladder will appear in the middle of the woods. You'll calmly walk up, smiling down, admiring the fur and wildness of the beautiful creature down below. You'll begin writing a story in your head for the next blog as you peer down from the hand-hewn wooden structure.
Speaking of stories, our local Annishnabe (Ojibway) say that many stories can only be shared in winter. Years ago I remember asking about some of the traditional myths and stories to the elders. "No," one man told me, "We only tell that story in the winter when the snows are deep."
Because it's winter and the snows are deep, I am going to share this link: http://www.mpm.edu/wirp/ICW-141.html You'll notice the first story is about Wenebojo and the Wolves. Wenebojo (there's many different spellings of the fellow's name) is a trickster spirit. All sorts of strange and funny and odd things happen to this man. The stories were used to teach the young ones growing up, to instill moral lessons, to give strength and courage. I must admit I was challenged reading some of these stories tonight, but I have faith that you'll be better able to discern the teachings.
Stories were considered medicine. Instead of going to the pharmacy when you were ill, traditional societies often told stories as a first approach to healing. The magic within them was known to heal, to open, to strengthen. Of course, traditional medicines were also utilized, but I like the idea that a good story can teach us, wake us up, interject a little magic or faith into our dismal spirits. What better time than deep winter?

Here's How A Hanky Can Help Find Exactly The Kind Of Sex You Want
In a recent episode of The Huffington Post Love+Sex Podcast about sex tourism, co-hosts Carina Kolodny and Noah Michelson chatted with Matt , a DJ from Australia who travels halfway around the world each year to attend San Francisco's Folsom Street Festival, the world's biggest leather event . While chatting with Kolodny and Michelson, Matt brought up " the hanky code ," a form of covert communication that some gay men used in the '70s and '80s to signal their sexual interests and desires to other men. As Fusion.com notes , "Men who participated in this form of flagging placed differently colored handkerchiefs in the back pockets of their pants: the left side for dominant sexual partners (tops) and the right side for submissive sexual partners (bottoms)." For instance, if you are wearing a light blue hanky in your left back pocket, you're looking for someone to perform oral sex on you.

"The important goal is not bringing them back," Bach said.
Wounded Concertgoer Recalls Being Pulled To Safety In Paris
Among the hundreds wounded in Friday's massacre at a concert hall in Paris, one survivor recalled the moment he was shot in the crowd before being pulled to safety by a stranger, one of several he says stayed around to help. The American band Eagles of Death Metal was about halfway through their set when 24-year-old Gauthier says the crowd heard the first explosions. "My first reaction is, 'This is part of the show.' Then I saw people begin to fall down," he said in a video for The New York Times , showing his bloodied T-shirt and bandaged arm. It was a sold-out show at the Bataclan, leaving little room for escape. Gauthier says a bullet pierced his left elbow and knocked him to the ground. "And that was when I saw the three of them," he said of the moment he caught sight of the attackers for the first time
Watch Bryan Cranston's 'Malcolm In The Middle' Character Morph Into Walter White
When Bryan Cranston gained worldwide fame as meth kingpin Walter White on "Breaking Bad," everybody commented on what a radical departure it was from his work as Hal, the father on family sitcom "Malcolm in the Middle." But a new promo video from Comedy Central UK , advertising an upcoming set of "Malcolm in the Middle" re-runs, has twisted that theory seriously on its head, suggesting that Hal wasn't quite as mild-mannered as we all thought. The video, uploaded to YouTube this week, is captioned: " Before he was Walter White he was the Dad in Malcolm In The Middle." Let's just say it puts Hal in a completely different light.

Mom's Photo Series Showcases The Messy Reality Of Breastfeeding
Australian artist and photographer Suzie Blake is accustomed to seeing images of women breastfeeding, but she has trouble relating to the glossy photos of models and actresses nursing on Instagram and in fashion magazines. As mom to a toddler and an infant, Blake knows the unglamorous truth all too well. "Breastfeeding, and just being a mother for that matter, is exhausting," she told The Huffington Post. "It's not this fantasy land where you feed your baby in a pond with a waterfall cascading behind you while birds chirp and the sun sets." To provide a more realistic alternative to these images, Blake launched a photo series called "What Does Breastfeeding Look Like?" The mom said the series was inspired by a particularly exhausting night she experienced this past summer. "While I sat on the sofa at 3 a.m. breastfeeding my second son, with the scent of puke on my shoulder and the knowledge there was a gigantic pile of washing in the laundry and my toddler would be awake in a few hours, I thought, 'Do other women look like I do now

Please keep sweet baby Stellan in your prayers. I visited him in the hospital yesterday (Saturday) morning and had breakfast with his mommy, and was blessed to see his smiling face. He converted into SVT just before I got there, and has been in it since. So he's really been going downhill since then. Pray for strength, peace, endurance, and healing. Also pray for his family as they struggle with a long list of emotions during this stressful time.
For those of you who have yet to guess on how big around this tree is (or for those of you who would like go make another guess), here are two pictures to give you a bit more frame of reference.
Oh, and I survived the night in the tent!
Next, I'd like to show you what happens when I get desperately bored while Camille is off playing with Grandpa and I'm left with a camera in my hands.

I found X a therapist. I like her and do not intend to fire her for being an idiot.
I never intend to fire anyone. It just happens.
I would say it is because I'm too judgmental, but I'm not judgmental. I don't care what anybody really does in their personal life, as long as it's not hurting anyone else.
For professionals, I have a whole set of different rules.
I want them to treat me as I would.
She did get teary eyed when I told her our history and our current situation.
This is generally a huge "no-no" in my book.
I always thought, if I were to cross this line, I'd have to refer the patient to another provider who can give the appropriate distanced perspective.
Then I think, she's human, and we're a sad story. Most people cry when they hear about us from me.
This is fine. We're a train wreck.
I have big shoulders. I'm okay with this, but only if there is some kind of reason, some great master plan.
Maybe, if I stand up, someone somewhere will not have to suffer the isolation, the loneliness, the fear, and the emotional and financial burdens I bare.
And do I really want someone cold treating my child?
If anything, her empathy for my family will work as a motivator. I can tell she genuinely wants to help.
I'm concerned she'll become personally invested. I'm concerned she may project her emotions onto us. I am concerned for her, as I'm scared for every other person who begins to care about me and my family in our fragile state.
I wrote this about three weeks ago.
I've written about this since then, but never finished. That says: X is back from his second therapy appointment. He's been crying for an hour. He's sobbing hysterically now.
He's regressive.
He behaves like he's three: he cries, he whines, he throws temper tantrums. His speech is improving little by little.
I have no idea what to do or where to go from here.
I didn't expect a reaction this early and this strong. I hope she has ideas on how to cope.
I'm really lucky to hae her, along with the great staff at his school. He's lucky to have so many who care.
So this morning, I was thinking:
This woman is good.
No, you can't have her number until I ask her permission.
X came home last week and had a major melt down.
She's all ready effective. That's amazing
X is in the "I hate you just go away" stage of coping. I've been sick long enough. He's been too scared of losing me for too long. He wants me to leave and get it over with so he doesn't have to worry anymore.
He yells at me when I cough. He told me he was worried about me dying.
J and I do the best we can with this. We try to show solidarity. We try to alleviate his fears.
Sometimes, when he starts with the "I hate you" talk I tell him , "I love you and nothing you can do will ever stop that."
He's broken down in crisis after I've said this.
He sat in the corner sobbing, "I'm a bad son!" for fifteen minutes. Whoa. That is a major mood swing.
Hopefully, this woman can help us respond to our son therapeutically. We're just doing the best we can with what we have. That's all anyone ever can do.
Baldies' Blog began originally in the UK by a 26 year old journalist with a blood cancer on a mission to inform the world about bone marrow donation.
He has since died, and I took on the cause of making cancer care more transparent for everybody.
Cancer is a disease that will touch everybody through diagnosis or affiliation: 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed and 1 in 3 woman will hear those words, "You Have Cancer."
I invite you to read how I feel along my journey and
how I am continuing to live a full life alongside my Hodgkin's lymphoma, with me controlling my cancer, not my cancer controlling me.
I hope that "Baldies' Blog" will prepare you to handle whatever life sends you, but especially if it's the message, "You Have Cancer."

Genetics can be a reason for your social anxiety disorder. If your family history has it, then you might be at risk of getting it as well. Many experts believe that this specific disorder can be passed on through the DNA, so if you know any of your relatives who suffer from any form of anxiety or mood disorders, you might want to mention this to your therapist before you take your social anxiety disorder test.
Another thing that can make you more vulnerable to getting panic attacks is your current emotional stability. When your body feels intense grief, that negative emotion can easily transcend into panic attacks, which explains why anxiety and depression often go hand in hand. Stressful events can also take its toll on your emotions so if you think you're the type of person who finds it hard to cope with new situations, places and people, you are likely to have a higher tendency of developing a social anxiety disorder. Physical abnormalities of the brain have also been proven to cause panic attacks in some patients so if you're suffering from schizophrenia for example, social anxiety disorder may just be normal to you.
Last but not the least, if you've been addicted to illegal substances in the past, there's a chance that you might have developed social anxiety disorder as a side effect from that addiction. Long term drug use can cause you to feel agitated, especially during withdrawal so if you're currently going through this phase, it might be a good idea to wait it out first until your caregiver thinks it's a good idea to get the social anxiety disorder test.
If you still get those panic attacks after withdrawal from your addiction, then there might be a deeper underlying cause for your disorder. You should be determined to get to the bottom of the problem before it is all too late. This is particularly true if you want to go back to living a normal life again. You can find out what exactly your condition entails if you consult a licensed therapist. And since many sufferers report of getting a positive response from early diagnosis and intensive treatment, look up for information on how you can get access to proper care. It will be much easier for you to overcome any challenge in the future if you have an optimistic mindset towards the whole ordeal.

The brutal suppression of the Standing Rock protest against the Dakota Access Pipeline on the orders of President Trump shortly after he came to power will I'm sure have consequences unseen by him in the longer term, both in terms of the US coming to terms with its own history and of course climate change.
The London protest in solidarity with Standing Rock seemed a slightly surreal event, with only a small handful of those present having any native American heritage, or even any great knowledge of their religion and customs taking part in a protest that was also a religious ceremony. It took place in front of the London US Embassy, which has always appeared to me, perhaps appropriately, as a symbol or brutality and mindless force.
My own ideas of what was undoubtedly a lengthy process of genocide in the settling of the USA by European immigrants were formed in my youth by Hollywood and the games of 'Cowboys and Indians' that were a part of every child's growing up in the 1950s. Having two older siblings in games with them and their friends I was always the 'Indian', with a brown loose decorated shirt and a rather chunky rubber tomahawk (actually a rather more effective weapon capable of serious bruising than the much flashier shiny plastic six gun I later graduated to wielding on the other side.)
Later too we played with bows and arrows, more serious weapons still, with the green pea sticks that shot at some force could certainly have caused serious eye damage, but our hero then was Robin Hood, and we were champions then of the poor against the dastardly rich and oppressive Sheriff of Nottingham.
But while Robin and his merry men might have been something of a positive role model, back in the day those Indians were clearly losers, shown as cruel and deceitful and little or nothing of their more spiritual and environmental views came across. They stood in the way of progress, and progress slaughtered them – and under Trump still does.
Now of course we are at least beginning to realise (other than Trump and his dinosaur friends) that the world has to change and we need to take account of nature and to live in harmony with it. Natural resources are finite and we have to limit our pollution of the environment to a level that nature can deal with in a way that allows our own lives to continue. Not living as those original Americans did, but embodying some of their spirit.
London Stands with Standing Rock
A few days ago, the New York-based Wallace Global Fund presented the inaugural Henry A. Wallace award to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe for its brave resistance in defending sacred land and water against the Dakota Access Pipeline. In addition to the $250,000 prize, the Tribe will receive up to a $1 million investment from the Wallace Global Fund to support its transition toward fossil fuel independence.

Henry II supposedly built a hedge maze at Woodstock, with a hedged arbour at the centre, designed for trysts with his mistress Rosamund Clifford. As it happens, this is probably an apocryphal story, an "urban myth" that was passed on because it was an amusing and salacious story. Either way it helped to popularise hedge mazes in subsequent centuries, possibly because it gave them a faint promise of sensuality.
This is an sixteenth-century poem about "Rosamond's Bower", which comes from "A Mournfull Dittie on the death of Rosamond, King Henry the Seconds Concubine" by Thomas Deloney. (Here the hedge has been hyped up into "stone and timber".)Yea, Rosamond, Fair Rosamond, Her name was called so, To whom dame Elinor our Queene Was known a deadly foe, The King therefore for her defense Against the furious Queene At Woodstock builded such a Bower The like was never seen. Most curiously that Bower was built Of stone and timber strong, An hundred and fifty dores Did to this Bower belong, And they so cunningly contriv'd With turnings round about That none but with a clew of thread Could enter in or out.
(It's worth noting that the "clew of thread" detail almost certainly derives from older labrynth legends such as the Minotaur. Possibly a rumour about the king's trysts became mixed up with older stories to create the story of "Rosamund's Bower".)

In their final LOST podcast of the season, LOSTermind Carlton Cuse had this to say when asked by fellow executive producer Damon Lindelof to predict what the fan's reaction might be to last night's season finale:
"I feel that people are going to like it because there is some good mythological advancement in it. But I think there is also going to be a fair share of annoyance that they're going to have to wait eight months to find out what happens after the finale. It has a very sort of season one feel to me. Like when we blew open the hatch and people were like, "You're kidding me, that's where you're leaving us?"
Or as this TV Addict unapologetically screamed at his television the moment the credits started rolling, "A fade to white… REALLY!?" I mean Lindelof and Cuse realize that people do not actually posses the ability to casually skip through time, right? Because eight, or to be more accurate eight and a half months is one helluva wait to find out what happens next.
But wait we shall.
Because even though we find ourselves somewhat perturbed upon discovering that Jack's motivation for blowing up an entire island full of inhabitants is his love for Kate, utterly perplexed by the John Locke revelation that he's not exactly who he appears to be (Clone? Spirit? Cylon?!) and quite frankly peeved that Lindelof and Cuse couldn't even be bothered to throw fans a bone by leaving us with a single scene, hint, tease or coda as to what the frak happens next — Last night's mind-boggling opening scene that included the return of our favorite four-toed statue, Jacob and some guy who we can only conclude is the very embodiment of pure evil, Juliet's emotionally heart-wrenching death (complete with a fantastic homage to the killer pit from Star Wars who's name escapes us), and the revelation that Rose, Bernard and Vincent are taking a page from the Swiss Family Robinson and living happily-ever-after at an undisclosed location on the island more than made up for the episodes ending, or lack-their-of.
Which is why, we're already counting-down the days until 2010, when rumor has it, destiny is found. Who's with us?

Question about Kenmore Oasis HE 27082 Top Load Washer
How do you get recall info, my washewr is jusyt out of warrenty. Don't want to have to buy control board if it is covered by recall.
Posted by tamara25 on
I purchased my Kenmore Elite Oasis HE just over a year and half ago and
for the last two months have had an F1 error displayed during the beginning and rinse cycle. If I hit stop and start 3 times during each portion of the clean (6 times total per load) then it will continue.
My Kenmore Oasis HE washer is doing the same thing. It is 20 months old. It is flashing the F1 code and I have to restart it. Usually on the third or fourth time it will continue to wash. Then most of the time it does the same thing when it starts to rinse. Everyone seems to be having the identical problem with this washer. I called Sears and they said it would be a $65. service call and stated they couldn't tell me what the F1 code meant without checking the machine. Yeah, right. They think I believe that.
I purchased my OASIS about 1 1/2 yrs ago. Worked fine until two months ago when I started getting the F1 code which requires me to turn it off and on 3-10 times before it starts...and even then sometimes it stops agian at the rinse cycle and I have to go thru the same process. I called the SEARs Rework number and they told me it was soon to be recalled . They advised me that in 2-3 weeks I would receive a card in the mail announcing the recall and at that time I could schedule appointment to fix. 6 weeks have gone by and no card. I just called the same Rework number and they told me there is NO recall! I have to call the repair dept an from what I see on the site, repair could easily be $500.00 are more!!!! $1000.00 for a washing machine that does not work after less than 2 years! This sis BS. I am angry! SEARS Kenmore needs to be held accountable,
Can we get a CLASS ACTION SUIT going against Sears about this issue? I'm stuck also & have been without a washer for 2mos. now. I ordered the control unit to replace it & every week I get an email notice pushing it another week out for est. delivery & am told it's been back-ordered...

Welcome to FixYa.
Based on your description I'd first suggest you look up your warranty coverage in the owners manual to see what degree of warranty the control is covered. I say that because according to Whirlpool, this is the definition of the "F1" error code:
Primary Control Failure
"F then 1 flashes when there is a primary control failure. Replace the machine control assembly. i.e.
Let me know if I can help move you forward in an many and I''ll certainly do what I can.
**You may also want to look into recalls on those control boards as well as many of them where recalled in the last year or two...you'll need to phone the manufacturer and present the model and serial number of your machine.**
Thank you for choosing FixYa today sand good luck. Please take a second to rate the info provided here for you today.

Taylor was set apart as a missionary last Monday night by President Briggs. Russ and his parents, the boys and I, and my parents were all able to be present when President Briggs did the setting apart and gave Taylor his blessing. It was a special occasion! What an example Taylor is setting for his four younger brothers!
Tuesday morning Taylor and I left for Provo. I enjoyed the ride very much. There were quiet times where I could just reflect on things (Taylor was enjoying his last naps) and there were some great conversations about different things past, present and future! I wouldn't have missed the time with him for anything! When we got to Provo we got him a new CTR ring and then visited with some long-time family friends before heading to my brother's apartment. Taylor went to play basketball with my brother for a little bit and then back home for "lights out."
Early on Wednesday morning we got up and my sister-in-law said her good-bye to Taylor before heading off to work. My brother, Taylor and I got ready and went our separate ways (my brother to class and Taylor and I to run errands) with plans to meet back at his apartment to take Taylor to the MTC. I gave Taylor his choice as to what he wanted for breakfast and he chose Chick-fil-a (the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, I guess), so we headed to the mall and had Chick-fil-a for the second straight day. We bought me a sticker for my car that says "I <3 My Missionary" and then we headed to the distribution center for some thermals. Then it was back to the mall because we forgot to have him try on a raincoat that I wanted to make sure of on size for when it was time to send to him, and by then it was time to head back to Travis's apartment. We had about 20 minutes at Travis's before we had to leave for the MTC. Travis used that time to talk to Taylor and give him some advice and pointers and insight to the MTC, as Travis has only been home from his mission about 14 months. I suggested we have prayer and Taylor asked Travis to say it. I think that was because I am known for giving long prayers, but it backfired because Travis gave an eloquent, lengthy prayer that I appreciated very much!! Then it was time to go.

So last week Taylor says to me, "Mom, you know, I'm not a writer." I just had to shake my head, because when I asked him if he wanted me to do a blog for him, I specifically told him, it would mean he would have to give me some decent letters to post and he said he would. My intent, all along, has been to have the blog be a combination of my thoughts and his so that at the end of his mission I can have a book made for him as a special remembrance. I'm hoping Tay will pull through and surprise us!!

We would like to thank the Perry's for opening their home and hosting this, and also thank Rose Putnam for helping to plan the food. Taylor speaks the next day in church and then we leave for Provo!! My, the last two months have sure gone by fast!! Taylor is going to be a FANTASTIC MISSIONARY!!!!

I like it but I almost think there are too many loops... maybe see what it looks like with a straight border and loops only around the picture or vise-versa. but thats just me.. i really like it so far bub!ReplyDelete
- Jessica Banda6/1/10, 12:37 AM
I think "Renee & Matthew" should be a tad smaller, maybe the photo too. I just don't like how close the photo is to the border. Maybe the loops should be smaller, rather than the photo. Hard to say. Otherwise, I think it has a great look. It's original and fun, yet appropriate. Good job!ReplyDelete
I think if you took out the border curlycues to the left and right of the pic it would look less busy. I like the size of the photo, but for some reason, the font bothers me. Not sure if it's too bold or if it's the style. I didn't find it to be masculine. Really like how you did date, time, place. Great start!ReplyDelete

Check Forgery 101
Think your check is safe after you fill it out? Think again…
Your writing can be removed using a procedure called "check washing." A solvent is used – usually rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover – to fade out or completely remove what you've put on your check.
Here's a before and after picture:
The check is now ready for a new amount (I'm guessing larger than $10) and a new recipient.
An even better trick for the forger is to cover your signature so it remains in place while everything else is removed.
So how can you avoid becoming a victim of this trick?
Use the right pen.
Based on the excellent testing of Sean Kane, he found that gel pens worked best at resisting these check washing procedures.
See the whole experiment and complete results on Sean's site.

TWO of the most recognisable pieces of television music were played at the funeral of three members of the same family who died in a farmhouse fire earlier this year.
Engineer Joseph Latham, 60, and his sons James, 32, and John, 30, were all fans of long- running science fiction series Dr Who and The Prisoner. The popular themes were played to a packed chapel at their humanist funeral at Margam Crematorium at the weekend.
Mairwen Goodridge, a Neath Port Talbot councillor and family friend, said, "It was the most touching funeral I have been to and I had a lump in my throat throughout.
"As a family they were all Dr Who enthusiasts and made a point of attending the annual conventions."
The sole survivor of the blaze that swept through Troed-y-Rhiw Farm, near the Afan Valley village of Abercregan on February 18, was wife and mother Fay Latham.
Mrs Goodridge said, "She was upset naturally, but she held up pretty well during the funeral. She has wonderful memories of her family who were very well liked in the local community and farther afield - people even travelled down from Leeds to attend."
Mrs Latham, 59, injured her back when she leapt from a bedroom window and ran, barefoot and in her nightclothes, for more than half-a-mile along a dirt track to raise the alarm at the nearest house.
Three bodies were later recovered from the charred ruins of the farmhouse, and because of the ferocity of the fire it took a Home Office pathologist several weeks to officially identify them.
The family moved to the isolated farm 12 years ago to live the "Good Life" and Cambridge graduate Mrs Latham, a former science teacher, launched an internet business growing and selling trees and shrubs.
Her husband landed a job in Cardiff as head engineer with Powell Duffryn, the ports and engineering group.
Mrs Latham, who wrote a funeral address reminiscing on their life together, will not return to Troed-y-Rhiw even if the farmhouse is rebuilt.
"She has bought a property in nearby Cymmer because she wanted to stay near friends," said Mrs Goodridge.

A Crush Heart Break
Crush heartbreak is still a heartbreak. It still hurts. Well, not that hurt hurt. I usually laugh through it and make a 48 pt bold note not to steal the tiniest glance at the target, ever again. Usually life goes on as per normal and you'll get over it. By 'usually', does not mean it happen that much. But you got my point, right?

My greatest burden is for the church. I think some of the current state of affairs of the church warrant me to write down what the Lord has shown us in its entirety through a series of questions and answers. I am hoping that this blog will last a long time into the future and be a reference to some weary souls looking for answers.
Many of the modern day churches are in such sin as to be worse than the Pharisees. And the sad part of it is that they sincerely believe that this is acceptable to God.
I have been a Christian for 36 years. I have been under many teachers and ideologies. Consequently, I have hit one brick wall after the next in my walk with God. At times, I felt drained of life from the disappointments that I encountered. At other times, I have known the joy of finding the truth. And it is that one point that has kept me going through the years because it is the truth that set me free from sin. That freedom led me to be reconciled to God and that is what I wish for anyone who ends up here.
I am grateful for the trials that God has brought my way. Were it not for those difficult times in my life, I would never have thought to begin again. But that's what I did on more than one occasion. I took a mental arm and swept away all that I thought was true and began again at the beginning. My foundation was Jesus Christ and Him crucified and from there I added the Biblical and natural truths that I found to be true. In this way, I could take a moment and examine each piece of truth. Some points I knew were absolutely true. Other points I put on the back burner with a question mark and labeled them "unknown."
See, we build truth on past truth and this leads us in a particular direction. For example, if you believe that God is strictly a benevolent God, you will then believe that He is gentle in all cases. This will lead you to believe that He is gentle on judgment of all sinners. This will effect the way you conduct your life choices. You might not be able to imagine that a gentle loving God could create death and dying and so even your account of creation would have to coincide with the idea that God is strictly a benevolent God.
One single idea leads a person to add more evidence to support that impression much like an angle has two rays. One is heading toward the target and the other is heading away. The wayward ray need only be slightly off at the vertex to totally miss the target in the end. In Scripture, sin means missing the mark. This is a key point to almost everything God has shown us. If you see a person caught up in a lifestyle that you know is sinful or off the mark, you can literally trace that ideology back to the vertex of the angle. That has helped me on many occasions.
Some doctrines seem so good at the vertex; but then in the end, they are death. There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. Proverbs 14:12. This is a very important piece of wisdom.
Over the years, I have learned to examine many of the things that I have been taught as truth through the reading of the Bible on a daily basis. By being in the Word for so many years, I am able to compare what people say to what's there. That, plus my relationship to the Lord, has helped me to wade through the myriad of lies that are invading our churches today. For the reader, it is imperative that you too get in the Word daily even if it means setting aside the Internet.
So I hope you enjoy what I am writing here and that it will bless you and help you in your walk with the Lord.
In His Love,

So what do you think? Does technology make buyers smarter? I would say so. Many people are much more informed in locations they might want to explore, agents they might want to use, vendors who might be helpful, and how the process goes along. Simply put, more people are online looking for recommendations and research.
That being said, I don't think technology has replaced agent representation by any means. I say this in especially when coming to research. Many times I find that a client has looked up a topic – say, first time home buyers have researched what to expect – but then I validate or help confirm their information, or I help with the nuances the research might not mention. Let's face it – each transaction is special and different and it's impossible to look up all possible outcomes.
And, that can be said the same of sellers too. So what do you think? Do you simply check out listings and map out neighborhoods? Or are there other things you're checking out too?
If you'd like more information on the San Fernando Valley or Los Angeles, or to have help looking for your next home, please feel free to reach out! I'm happy to help, no obligation.

the Controversial Committee Report
"We don't raise sacred cows...we just butcher them."
"Prognostications and Pup-Peroni®
In-between munching on Pup-Peroni® treats and chasing feral cats out of the backyard, Dylan Westie, Executive editor/Part-time Wordsmith and Social Media Troll for the CCR, has been compiling a list of what dear readers could anticipate in 2017 for 'beautiful downtown Irving.'
Having a "are-you-serious" accuracy rate of 99.13%, he predicts the upcoming year will be somewhat taxing (literally and figuratively) for denizens of 'beautiful downtown Irving.'
Here are his dog breath prognostications of what folks should be looking forward to…or not:
Public Safety: Irving Blvd., from Story Road to near 'beautiful downtown Irving,' will continue to be hazardous while driving during early morning or late evenings due to the inoperable, dysfunctional, never on, and totally useless "green" solar powered street lights. This was not a great idea when first implemented (years ago) by city staff and has continued to be a costly problem since installation. Apparently, having a high volume and potentially dangerous traffic situation (not counting or including all of the State construction on three major north/south arteries) doesn't register very high on the city's Imagine Irving Comprehensive Plan…which is another new staff binder to shelve with all the other plans for 'beautiful downtown Irving.' Look for the plan binders to collect enough dust to fill all the potholes on Irving Blvd.
Gala Celebration: The super-grand opening of the ARK Entertainment Center will be a significant social event in 2017, but could be marred by QueenB VDs lack of participation… much like she demonstrated at the original ARK ground breaking for the center. Of course, if she doesn't conjure another "scheduling conflict" on her photo op calendar, then plan on the event starting 30-minutes later than announced to accommodate her usual and persistent egocentric modus operandi of arriving late for events. Be sure to attend this grandeur opening which highlights a new and major city development.
(Remember, the queen was adamantly against every future note to be emitted from the Music Factory and Alamo Draft House when the center was originally being considered.)
City Elections: 2017 will be a significant election year for the city. Up for re-election will be QueenB VD, Oscar Ward and Dennis Webb. Realizing Ward and Webb do not follow (which is good), or agree with almost all of QueenB VDs voting prescripts, temper tantrums, and dictates (which are mostly self-centered or catered to cronies and Sugar Daddy donors), voters should look for her to recruit and attempt to add potential Pet Rocks to her dwindling collection via this election cycle. Creating mayhem is a taxing job, for the queen, to handle alone without pulling the strings of controlled puppets.
While mentioning Pet Rocks, Chief of Staff Pet Rock for QueenB VD, LaMorgese, will be granted permission, by the queen, to discontinue wearing his court jester hat at council work sessions and meetings. The constant jiggling of the hat's bells, while he nods his head in approval of every queenly statement, has become annoying to her.
This change in wardrobe will be a LaMorgese-political ploy — should he decide to run for re-election in 2018 — to have voters believe he is an independent thinker and does not always follow the queen's dictates. (snicker, snicker)
Belated Christmas Gift?: The assumption QueenB VD will run for re-election probably depends on how well the Trump transition team vets potential flunkies for the cabinet and staff members he appoints. Since the queen was observed cavorting and conversing with one of The Donald's major-potential appointees, one could assume she was either adding to her photo op collection, or attempting to convince someone she knows how to run the country…after having run Irving into the ground with all her Red Meat TEA-carnivore babbling-bad press. Look for the queen to possibly abdicate her throne should an offer, for a DC job, be made.
After all, if narcissism and petulant self-interest are primary Trump vetting points, wouldn't the queen be in good standing and at the top of a list? Wouldn't this be a gift all 'beautiful downtown Irving' citizens would like to see opened!
Homelessness and Crowing: The ill fated re-re-revised chicken ordinance will once again fly into the city council chambers for yet another plucking. As city elections are on the horizon, potential council candidates could wring all the fowls' necks to appease a small number of folks who want a stringent ban on all chickens in the city. Also, left in the deep fryer will be roosters. The re-re-revised ordinance would, in all likelihood, only permit conjugal visits of roosters for flock owners who are interested in increasing or replacing the size of their brood. Want some gravy with those biscuits?
Ticking Clock: There still remains no understandable reason or rationale consideration for the city council to approve paying, with your tax dollars, the legal fees for the personal law suit filed against QueenB VD by the "clock kid" as a result of her speaking engagement loose lips. Wasn't it clearly established the queen was on her own time, speaking before Red Meat TEA-carnivore groups — not as the mayor of the city — and fabricating facts which had no bearing on the city or approval by the city council? Will the legal cost, probably propelled by outside legal council, skyrocket? Plus, could an exorbitant settlement, of your tax dollars, also be another possibility? How many roads and other city improvements could be considered with the legal funds this capricious expenditure might require…whatever the final total becomes? Look for a large crowd to surround the court house chanting and cheering "lock her up!"
Irving Tourism: During QueenB VDs reign citizens noted: the Cowboys left town; the Byron Nelson tees off in Dallas in another year; and the Boy Scouts Museum heads to New Mexico. To overcome these tourism deficits, QueenB VD will reach out to the groups she played a large part, by indirectly recruiting, for their visiting Irving this past summer…gun toting Froot Loops® prancing around a religious institution and a Texas branch of the KKK. Tickets will go on sale in January for the queen's First Annual White Sheet Shoot-out in 'Beautiful Downtown Irving.' There will be fun, food and booths loaded with xenophobic brochures with membership applications and autographed photos of the queen in her mane flipping Hollywood-ish pose. Best buy your tickets early as the queen's Flying Harpy flock are already queued up.
Citizen Activists: A new group will be forming in the city…POP (Provide Others Potholes). This group will secretly dig potholes on council members' and the city manager's street(s) to see if repairs are made quicker, for their personal driving conditions, than those issues previously reported by citizens who have been waiting on pothole or major street repairs for eons. Discount coupons, for installing new shock absorbers, will be left in the potholes for use by city personnel.
With all these significant events occurring in 'beautiful downtown Irving,' staff of the CCR would wish all dear readers a Happy "2017 SOS" New Year. And a good resolution to consider for the New Year might be: Nothing changes without active citizen involvement to make change happen.

n Comparative and International Law Journal of Southern Africa - Intervention with specific reference to the relationship between the United Nations Security Council and the African Union
- Previous Article
- Table of Contents
- Next Article
States often use their sovereignty as a justification to demand the noninterventionof other states in matters that they consider to be in theirexclusive jurisdiction. However, due to the role of regional and international organisations and the influence of universal norms and values, the present idea of state sovereignty differs greatly from the classical understanding of sovereignty as absolute. In a growing interdependent world where national boundaries are increasingly permeable, traditional notions of territoriality, independence and non-intervention are losing some of their meaning. As a result of the increasing acceptance that the protection of human rights can no longer be regarded as a purely internal matter and that the international community has a responsibility to protect, the traditional interpretation of article 2(7) of the United Nations Charter is brought into question. In addition, the relationship between the peace and security provisions of the United Nations Charter and the constitutive documents of regional organisations such as the African Union, is not completely clear. The aim of this contribution is therefore to determine to what extent a traditional or strict interpretation of article 2(7) is still relevant in regulating the international relations between states in view of these changing circumstances and, further, to establish the relationship between the United Nations Security Council and regional peace and security bodies, with specific reference to the African Union.

E.M. Bounds, the great Methodist pastor/author, in his book Power Through Prayer, writes in chapter 4 (Tendencies to be Avoided):
It is impossible for the preacher to keep his spirit in harmony with the divine nature of his high calling without much prayer. That the preacher by dint of duty and laborious fidelity to the work and routine of the ministry can keep himself in trim and fitness is a serious mistake. Even sermon-making, incessant and taxing as an art, as a duty, as a work, or as a pleasure, will engross and harden, will estrange the heart, by neglect of prayer, from God. The scientist loses God in nature. The preacher may lose God in his sermon.
Some very powerful words to think about. I intend not to lose God.
