Site Map For Disneyland Reviewed
August 8, 1953
On the morning of August 8 1953 Walt Disney reviewed the site map that Imagineer/art director Marvin Davis had been working on for a new California theme park, which would be the first diagrammatic plan for Disneyland. On that morning, Walt reviewed the site map that Davis was working on and picked up a No. 1 carbon pencil and drew a triangle around the plot of land to indicate where he wanted his railroad to run. That historic drawing still exists today. For two years, Davis worked on more than 100 different versions of the master plan for Disneyland. While Disney Imagineer Herb Ryman did the famous sketch over a long weekend that sold the idea of a Disneyland to bankers and more, his imaginative concept drawing was based on the layout sketches of Imagineer Marvin Davis, who had been a film art director. Many Disney fans confuse Davis with another Disney Legend, animator Marc Davis, but Marvin was a distinctly different individual with a background in architecture and film that aided him in making Walt Disney's dreams into three-dimensional realities. Walt referred to these art directors who worked on the early Disneyland like Davis, Irvine, Bill Martin, Sam McKim, etc. as "brick and mortar men" which irritated Davis because it seemed to suggest they weren't imaginatively creative.
While it was Herb Ryman who did the famous sketch of Disneyland that helped sell the concept, it was Irvine and Davis who presented Ryman with the concepts before he began drawing. When Ryman had finished after that memorable weekend, it was Irvine and Davis who grabbed color pencils to add shading and highlights to Ryman's pen and ink drawing before Roy had to grab it and fly to New York. In addition to assisting with the earliest layout of Disneyland, Davis worked on Tom Sawyer Island, and famously argued with Herb Ryman as to which direction the top of Sleeping Beauty Castle should face. Davis' original front on the model of the castle was flipped backwards; Walt Disney walked in to the model shop, liked Ryman's "front" better, and the design remains to this day.
After Disneyland opened, Davis became an art director for Disney live-action films for almost the next 10 years on films including Moon Pilot, Babes in Toyland, Bon Voyage and Big Red, as well as television projects like the Zorro television series. He received an Emmy Award for his art direction on Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color. Davis retired from the Walt Disney Company in 1975. He was honored as a Disney Legend in 1994. Davis who master planned both Disneyland and Walt Disney World, died on March 8, 1998 in Santa Monica, California. His memory will live on commemorated in the window in his on above the Main Street Bank on Main Street USA. And that's what happened today in Disneyland's history.


text: The juniors visited the Howick Historical Village last week to learn about toys from the past. We rotated around a range of activities where we learnt about indoor toys, outdoor toys, games that children used to play and we also had a chance to explore the buildings and exhibits around the village. The children were able to play with the toys at the village and there were many toys that we would like to have in our school such as stilts, hobby horses, thaumatropes and many more. Some classes have since then made their own thaumatropes which the children have loved playing with.

Pie Crusts (Will be used for a cushaw, pumpkin, candied pecan pie later in the week; as I learned at the Library's "Knead to Read" cooking class, 1) make sure you chill your flour, sugar, and shortening mix; 2) Use ICE water; 3)A pastry blender is pretty neat.)

It's my birthday weekenddd!
I suppose that technically makes this past week my "birthday week." And while a portion of my birthday week was dominated by midterm exams and papers and life without a computer charger (yuckkk!), the rest consisted of early birthday presents, sushi picnics on the quad, meeting up with high school friends, coffee dates, small group dinner (at the Q Shack, woot!), sleepovers, and (drumroll, please...) my official karaoke debut. If you hadn't heard by now, I'm basically the new lead singer for Lady Antebellum---no big deal. See you later, Hillary Scott.

Although you're undoubtedly dying to hear more after that little teaser, I figured I'd save the birthday week/weekend recap for next week (my birthday isn't actually until Sunday, you know---there's still lots more to come!) and instead, reflect on the glorious 21st year of my life.
While I was 21, I...
- spent three months visiting the hospital after my grandpa had a terrible accident. I also got to watch his miraculous recovery, and I'm so glad he'll be at my 22nd birthday supper this year!
- served as one of the coordinators for a weekend Christian retreat in my home church's district
- took an eventful roadtrip to visit all of my friends at Bridgewater College
- dabbled in opening an Etsy shop
- survived my junior year at Duke University
- said goodbye to Zach as he began his deployment to Afghanistan
- celebrated my three year anniversary with Zach and told the story of how we started dating
- moved to Fincastle, Virginia, where I lived for three months
- went rock climbing AND biked the entire Virginia Creeper Trail for the first time
- worked as the summer program coordinator at the summer camp where I grew up
- started my senior year of college
- lived it up at Heritage Day with all of my camp friends
- flew to Florida & spent fall break with my cousins
My year of being 21 had more than its fair share of rough patches along the way, but it ended on a great note which will hopefully continue on into an even greater year of being 22. It's looking promising already: the end of deployment & Zach's return from Afghanistan, MY COLLEGE GRADUATION (praise Jesus, seriously!), hopefully getting a big girl job/apartment/all of the thrilling expenses that accompanying growing up -- big things ahead.
Thanks for the memories, 21. I'm moving on :)

Here is what I love about this ID:
1) It's purple! (or 5 other colors if you don't like purple).
2) The back of my Wrist ID has a personal ID and code so emergency workers can access vital information about me in the event of an emergency.
3) This ID came with a year of service! (That promotion appears to be over - a year of service is only $19.99 at this time).
4) The Road ID program allows me to input and change my personal information any time I need to do so. I have set my own access ID and password so that I'm free to do so from my computer any time.
5) It's comfortable. I always put it on before taking my boys outside, and usually forget about it until bed.
6) It's reflective. Yep, another way to let people know I'm there when I'm out at night!
7) The information is laser-engraved, it is not going to wear off quickly when worn again and again.
8) I can wear it in the water with no concern for damaging it.
How do you take care of yourself when you're exercising? Have you heard of Road ID? Check out their website, tell me your favorite product.

text: I did these drawing this morning after my wife and I had java at our favorite local coffee shop. The focus here was not on the structure but a value study. I plan to paint this area (Fruitvale Bart Station) in oils soon. I am pleased with the outcome. It's really cool how you produce an image that excites you knowing if you continue to work hard your future work will inflate that excitement even more. The angle of the photo is slightly different from the drawing.

Today I want to talk about a form of art you may not have heard of - sticky note art.
Sticky-note art is simply the joining of sticky notes to form, what looks like from afar - a pixelated image. The great thing about this type of art is that it's so simple and the only supplies you need are sticky notes and a space to put them.
Here are some of my favourite examples:
So, what are you waiting for? If you have some spare post-it notes, why not experiment?!

Red Tories and the Radical Outlook
April 23, 2009
Over at the League of Ordinary Gentleman, Chris Dierkes has an interesting post considering the prospects of Red Toryism becoming (a) tyrannical or (b) another lame consumer option. Read.
The only way I think that form of hegemonic liberalism of the kind Blond decries ever could be dethroned would be a structural matter. i.e. the decline/fall of the nation-state as the primary means whereby liberalism has been historically enacted (e.g. negative climate scenario/energy shock, collapse of the financial order???).
The best version of a communitarianism I can find (one that so far, though its very very early doesn't show tyrannical aspirations) is the movement oftransition towns/resilient communities. This movement is not a top-down led process via a large government. [Blond may have put in his affiliations with the wrong crowd??]. It's hallmark is its more spontaneous formation and rather chaotic (in the scientific sense) way of being. Trying to enforce communal spontaneity is like commanding someone to relax: they will try to relax and therefore create tension/stress causing them to tense up.
If Red Toryism ever comes to power it needs to think long and hard about that paradox and whether there is a way not around it but perhaps through it.
Wait a minute. Structural Transformation? Economic Crises? Utopian schemes? Specters over Europe, Batman! It's implicit Marxist political economy at work again! (Maybe. Bear with me here.)
Not that this is a bad thing, at least in the ways that its usually bad; in fact, its been a given in most discussions both of history and of radical anti-liberalism, left and right, for so long that its easy to pass over… I'm guessing that anyone reading this probably doesn't need to have the Manifesto spelled out for them, but for the sake of argument, we can say that the Marxist line boils down to two core historical/sociological assumptions: first, that liberal capitalism was inevitable given the existing class structure of Europe, and second, that anti-liberal sentiment would ultimately drive in a Utopian direction stemming from a shift in underlying structures on par with those that brought about liberalism. This outlook, for better or worse, has framed the entire way we understand the emergence of capitalism and often our place in it, and has informed pretty much everyone with any sort of radical leanings. If there is to be change which truly challenges liberalism, which tames its excesses and rebuilds the bonds the capitalism severs, it must be tied to structural changes in the base of society. Political actions, be they piecemeal or gargantuan, are not sufficient to bring about real change; real change must be from the foundations up, period.
Its a dramatic idea, and its certainly piqued the imagination of many on the far left. What I've really come to appreciate in recent weeks is how this same picture seems to underlie the crunchier part of the anti-liberal spectrum, albeit in more subtle ways; in fact, the recognition that cultural dissolution is explicable only in the context of consumer capitalism is one of the things that marks off crunchyredtorycons from other branches of conservatism more generally.
What the crunchyreds are relying on here, though, goes beyond a general recognition of the importance of the economic base to the assumption that substantive change at the level of culture requires a change in the base itself. The agrarian leanings of many in that wing of the movement are the most prominent example, though there are others. The question I'd raise is whether Red Toryism need have such strongly radical tendencies. If the form of anti-liberal resistance is to be traditionalist villages or the Dreher's Benedict option, then we are consenting to the model Marx originated, albeit implicitly. The ways that Chris is suggesting that the issue be approached seems to entail it; either society as a whole must be transformed (opening up the obvious concentration of power issues) or we must strike out and find alternative modes of living in which liberalism can genuinely be opposed. Failing this, genuine conservatism will only be one lifestyle amongst others ala the final chapter of Anarchy, State, Utopia.
What's interesting about this kind of thinking and the historical narrative that underlies it is that it generally isn't entirely accurate. In fact, in many cases it's outright wrong. Liberal capitalism, in all its variations, emerged in a scatter-shot manner, and the movements which eventually brought its extremes under control were carried out by a wide range of people in a lot of different theaters using a lot of different means, all attempting to restore some measure of the more humane agrarian order that predated capitalism (As Polanyi famously argued.) So if the fear is that the only alternatives to liberalism will be either hopelessly faddish, in danger of becoming tyrannical, or anti-worldly utopian, then maybe Red Tories ought to imagine themselves as playing a fundamentally different role in society, that of the reformer working at multiple levels on sometimes disparate projects addressing problems as they arise in the model of earlier reformers of capitalism, rather than the radical striking off in new and potentially totalitarian directions. At a bare minimum this leaves lots of room for critique and changes of direction should power become concentrated and ensures that the direction is towards society as a whole, not just towards a consumer demographic or isolated Utopian communities. It also puts them in a position to draw on the best parts of the leftist and conservative inheretence, which can be a pretty priceless thing if building up an intellectual synthesis is the order of the day.
One almost wants to say,"The point is not to enforce spontaneous communal action. The point is to be spontaneous communal action." But the point is to not be faddish, so one probably shouldn't.

HC, you refer to several "things" in the course of your post. For example, you mention "liberalism" and its "excesses", "anti-liberal" and "humane agrarian order". Liberalism, like conservatism, has so many definitions, one has no clue as to how to interpret your words. Perhaps, and this is a request, perhaps you could point me to a primer somewhere, anywhere, illuminating your particular use of common conservative words and phrases? I ask this because I want to read you to understand your thoughts – otherwise why read you at all?
If, on the other hand, these phrases are simply dog whistles to your fellow travelers, with little inherent meaning, then by all means, tell me now!!!
I enjoyed your posts at Upturned Earth, and I'd like to read more of you.

I look forward to your post.

Appetizer - Vegetarian
I love butternut squash and always look for different ways to prepare it; my friend Raffaella in Rome had this recipe and shared it with me. Next time, I'll try a sweet version... stay tuned!!!
7 oz (1 cup) finely minced butternut squash
1/3 cup Italian 00 flour
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano
3 eggs
1/2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
lemon zest (about 1/2 lemon)
Extra virgin olive oil to fry
Lightly beat eggs, then add parmigiano, flour, lemon zest and parsley. Mix to combine and add the squash, stir until all ingredients are nicely combined. You should obtain a dense batter.
Bring extra virgin olive oil to frying temperature (if you don't have a thermometer and want to know if the oil is warm enough, just put a little piece of bread in it: is has to "rapidly" fry).
Spoon batter into the olive oil (not more than 3-4 fritters at a time), and flip them a first time as soon as they start getting solid. Then turn another couple of times until golden on both sides.
Lay them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve immediately.
This will make about 20 fritters, depending on size.
- I didn't put salt in it, even though my friend Raffaella likes it.
- Sprinkle with salt, if you like it, AFTER frying!
- You can find the video recipe here

Classic Piet by AL & JO. Art furniture.
This storage and bar unit is a clear tribute to a famous artwork by Piet Mondrian..
To Mondrian, abstraction is the only way to reach the expression of pure reality. His was a research on the perfect balance between shape and space, in the attempt to give a neat, logic, linear sense to a senseless reality.
The unit follows a precise composition of horizontal and vertical lines which define four front panels and four drawers of different dimensions. The result is a perfect combination of harmony and functionality.
ps. …"
Al & Jo is an Italian design house, bringing together artists, cabinet makers and engineers to produce items using all of these skills – like the Classic Piet. As the name (and look) suggests, this is inspired by Mondrian's coloured blocks of the 1920s."

Several health organizations in Arizona are teaming up in an effort to lower the state's premature-birth rate.
"Prematurity is the leading cause of infant death in Arizona," said Arizona Department of Health Services' Sheila Sjolander.
"It's extremely important for people to be healthy before there's a pregnancy, before that inception occurs."
Sjolander said a baby's brain is not fully developed before 39 weeks and that's why many state hospitals already stopped doing cesarean sections before then.
Sjolander said smoking and drinking prior to pregnancy increases the risk of premature births. She also recommends taking a folic acid supplement daily to prevent birth defects.

I think PSHD might have made a believer out of him.
I have been trying to spread the news about Paprium to a few good friend's of mine on youtube(some you may even know), hopefully i can get some support from them to help people find out about the game.
I missed Pier Solar the first time around and want to help people not have that experience with Paprium, anyone that helps me spread the word i will give a 10% off of the classic and limited edition coupon. Just PM me the forum post about Paprium or news article that you helped set up or write. I am not signed up on a lot of forum's and i do not want to come off as a shill or troll, i do want to reach as many people as we can and i do understand that the Retro community may seem big but we are still very niche group of people.
I am not being paid or work for watermelon but i do want Paprium to be an even bigger success then PSHD and within our Community here we have very passionate people who love the Sega Genesis/Mega drive, any help would be appreciated guy's.
Thank's to everybody that took the time to read all of that.

United States District Court, S.D. Mississippi, Northern Division
February 10, 2017
JOHN ASHLEY HALE, #24720 PLAINTIFFv.DR. ROLAND ABANGAN, ET AL. DEFENDANTS
Keith Ball UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
cause is before the Court on three motions - Defendant
Centurion of Mississippi, LLC's ("Centurion")
Motion to Dismiss [99]; Defendant Evelyn M. Dunn's Motion
to Dismiss [101]; and Defendant Kim Nagel's Motion to
Dismiss [103]. Having considered the motions, Plaintiff's
response, and the rebuttals, the undersigned recommends that
the motions be denied.
John Ashley Hale is an inmate in the custody of the
Mississippi Department of Corrections ("MDOC"),
who is proceeding pro se in this litigation,
alleging violations of his constitutional rights under 42
U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff claims that he was
denied adequate medical care during his incarceration at East
Mississippi Correctional Facility ("EMCF") in
that EMCF officials and medical staff have been deliberately
indifferent to his medical needs and have violated the
Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"). See
generally [62-1]. Specifically, the Court noted after
the omnibus hearing that "Plaintiff alleges that the
medical care and food services provided at EMCF are
inadequate and fail to accommodate his disability
needs." [127] at 1.
Centurion, Evelyn M. Dunn, and Dr. Kim Nagel (collectively,
the "Centurion Defendants") now move to dismiss
the claims against them, arguing that Plaintiff has failed to
state a claim against them.
Standard of Review
considering a motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6) for
failure to state a claim, a court must accept "all
well-pleaded facts as true, viewing them in the light most
favorable to the plaintiff." Martin K. Eby Const.
Co., Inc., v. Dallas Area Rapid Transit, 369 F.3d 464,
467 (5th Cir. 2004). "To survive a Rule 12(b)(6) motion
to dismiss, the plaintiff must plead enough facts to state a
claim to relief that is plausible on its face." In
re Katrina Canal Breaches Litig., 495 F.3d 191, 205 (5th
Cir. 2007) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted).
"A claim has facial plausibility when the plaintiff
pleads factual content that allows the court to draw the
reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for the
misconduct alleged." Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556
U.S. 662, 678 (2009) (citation omitted). "This standard
'simply calls for enough fact to raise a reasonable
expectation that discovery will reveal evidence of' the
necessary claims or elements." In re S. Scrap
Material Co., 541 F.3d 584, 587 (5th Cir. 2008) (quoting
Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 556
Plaintiff is proceeding pro se in this litigation,
his pleadings must be construed liberally. Pena v. United
States of America, 122 F.3d 3, 4 (5th Cir. 1997).
lawsuit levies claims against a number of individuals and
entities associated with, employed by, or who provide
services at EMCF. Among those, Plaintiff alleges that Nurse
Evelyn Dunn denied and Dr. Kim Nagel refused to consider his
requests for alternative medication for his Hepatitis C in
violation, according to Plaintiff, of the ADA. [62-1] at
16-18. Plaintiff further alleges that Centurion's customs
and practices and Dunn's and Nagel's actions violated
his constitutional rights to adequate medical care.
Id. at 18-19.
Centurion Defendants now move, through three separate
motions, to dismiss the claims against them. Each motion
argues that Plaintiff's ADA claims against them should be
dismissed because Plaintiff has failed to allege any facts
that would show that he qualifies as "disabled"
under the ADA due to his Hepatitis C. Dunn's and
Nagel's motions also argue that Plaintiff's claims
regarding medication are nothing more than mere
dissatisfaction with medical care and cannot support a claim
for deliberate indifference. Centurion further contends that
Plaintiff makes no factual allegations in support of his
claim that Centurion's customs and practices deny him
adequate health care.
Plaintiff's ADA Claims.
II of the ADA provides that an individual shall not be
"excluded from participation in or be denied the
benefits of the services, programs, or activities of a public
entity" because of a qualifying disability. 42 U.S.C.
§ 12132. In order to state a claim for relief under
Title II, a plaintiff must allege "(1) that he has a
qualifying disability; (2) that he is being denied the
benefits of services, programs, or activities for which the
public entity is responsible, or is otherwise discriminated
against by the public entity; and (3) that such
discrimination is by reason of his disability."
Hale v. King, 642 F.3d 492, 499 (5th Cir. 2011).
"As a threshold requirement, [a plaintiff] must
establish that he has a disability within the meaning of the
ADA." Hardin v. Christus Health Southeast Texas St.
Elizabeth, No. 1:10-CV-596, 2012 WL 760642, *5 (E.D.
Tex. Jan. 6, 2012) (citing 42 U.S.C. § 12102(1)).
The ADA
defines the term "disability" as "a
physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one
or more major life activities of [an] individual." 42
U.S.C. § 12102(1)(A). The ADA expressly states that the
definition of disability should "be construed in favor
of broad coverage of individuals under this Act, to the

Skip to comments.(British) Drivers punished for going green
Posted on 05/30/2012 5:06:09 PM PDT by Olog-hai
Motorists face having to pay increased road tax as the Treasury considers plans to claw back hundreds of millions of pounds in revenue that will be lost as drivers opt for greener cars.
The Daily Telegraph has learned that government officials have begun private discussions with the motoring industry and drivers groups about an overhaul of the Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) rules.
The talks come as ministers try to prevent a fall in tax revenues as more motorists choose smaller, cleaner cars that incur a lower rate of duty. Labour has accused the Coalition of planning a stealth tax on drivers, effectively punishing them for going green.
Ministers say that while they have not finalized their plans, changes may be necessary to ensure the sustainability of the public finances.
One option being considered would replace the annual tax on cars with a one-off up-front charge on new vehicles when they are sold.
Annual road tax for cars ranges from zero for those with the lowest CO2 emissionswhich include electric and hybrid carsto more than £200 ($309.70) for those with larger and less-efficient petrol and diesel engines.
VED raises almost £6 billion a year for the Treasury, but official forecasts show that the revenue from the tax will fall as more people chose to drive low-emission cars.
(Excerpt) Read more at telegraph.co.uk ...
The "green" drivers, who are using the same roads as everyone else, found a way to avoid paying the same amount of taxes, and now the State wants to get its pound of flesh.
Of course, the leftie media says the government is "punishing" these folks. They would never say that when states want to raise taxes on loose tobacco to make up lost revenue from people rolling their own cigarettes. Those people aren't being punished, instead a "loophole" is being closed, so they can be made to "pay their fair share".
What nice comforting words: sustainability of the public finances.
Apparently GB doesn't have a representative government.
Hahahahahahah! What a ruse all this crap is....Hahahaha!
Eat it socialists!
If they were truly worried about people's health they wouldn't be worried about how much revenue they were bringing in and they would celebrate the fact that a bunch of people had quit smoking.
The truth is, all of these taxes of this type are simply ways to separate you from your money and give it to the government.
When will the idiots stop believing the libtards?
You get punished by them if you don't go green. They tax whatever you're using that they don't want you to use.
If you listen to the libtards and use less, they punish you by raisingtaxes because you're using less and cutting into their current tax revenue they are confiscating from you.
Wake up morons of the world and cast off your libtard overlords!
Well have you seen what gubmint has done to the ecigarette folks? Making them out to be health hazards because FDA hasn't approved them, same with the ALA nutjobs. Who were begging for something like this forever. Tax revenue losses.

Muhammad Trial
Transcript: Opening Statement of John Allen Muhammad
The following is the transcript of the opening statement by John Allen Muhammad at his trial on Oct. 20. This is from a preliminary transcript of court proceedings compiled by court reporters Ronald Graham and Associates.
MR. MUHAMMAD: Good evening. I would like to thank the judge for giving me the opportunity to speak. I want to talk to you briefly -- excuse me -- on some things that they talked about.
One of the things that we are here for today and the next couple days is to find out what everyone wants to know is what happened. Something happened. We have his side, and we have my side. If both of us -- one picture and come up with two different stories. Something is wrong. Somebody is not telling the truth. Somebody's lying. I got sworn in. I'm sure they got sworn in, and everyone that gets up on the stand gets sworn in. We are all going to get sworn in. We are going to ask to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
One of the things I like -- I like reading and learning about words. One of the things I was fascinated in coming into this strange world to me is three truths. The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. I always thought it was just the truth. Apparently I was wrong, so I did some checking to find out what is it about these three truths? Same thing but yet they are different.
Well, the whole truth. What is the whole truth? The whole truth, what I found out when I asked that is, Don't take anything away from the truth, which means when we take something away from it, it's not a whole anymore. If we do that, that's a lie. If we do that, we are deceiving. What's nothing but the truth? Well, that means you don't add nothing to the truth. If we do that, we deceiving. We are telling a lie, so this is why it's important that we tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But how do we jump from the truth to the whole truth to nothing but the truth when at one time all we had was the truth? Jesus said, "You shall know the truth." He didn't say you shall know the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The truth. For what happened between that time and this time to where we got to deal with three truths?
Well, I found out as man evolved with wisdom and understanding, we also evolved with deceitfulness in our lives. It seems we found out how to tell the truth with a lie, and upon upholding the standard of telling the truth, you could be prosecuted for lying. He was still telling the truth, so what he did as we evolved in understanding things, the scientists or the wise people at that time realized this person's lying. Yet they're telling the truth.
Now, how can that be so? Well, let me give you an example. It's kind of like this. If I say I don't like basketball, that's my opinion. I don't like basketball. But if someone else come along and say, I like basketball, then in actuality what he just said is what I said, but it's not the whole truth of what I said. He left something out. Therefore, it cannot be considered the truth. It's a lie.
So we continue to tell these stories and continue to tell these stories to where we have to come up with the three truths -- the whole truth and nothing but the truth; and now that's where we are right now, which means if a person gets up on that stand and don't respect all three truths, then they can be prosecuted for telling a lie; and upon the law they can get up on the stand and lie and still tell the truth and not be prosecuted. That's why they changed it. Just the facts that we need. The facts should help us to identify what's the truth and what's not the truth and what is a lie and what's not a lie.
Okay. In knowing what our wisdom and our understanding, as we evolve, we knew how to manipulate things. Put something here that shouldn't be there, put something here that shouldn't be there, and became more and more confusing, and now we have science and a whole lot of other more things into it to prove that is the truth or to disprove that is the truth, and it became more and more confusing.
I heard him talk about his family. Anytime I deal with anything, I always reflect back on my children, whom I love very much; and I remember an incident when I was in the Caribbean; and my favorite daughter, Taalibah -- she loves chocolate. She loves chocolate cookies. As I was leaving, she said, "Daddy, can I have some chocolate cookies?" and I said, "Sure. I come back, we'll go to the store, and we'll get some chocolate cookies, but don't go in the cookie jar and get no chocolate cookies until I come back." She said, "I won't, Daddy. I won't."
So I leave. I come back about an hour later. I see my baby daughter out in the yard with cookies in her hands and eating chocolate cookies.
I am upset now because from what I see, she disobeyed. I got the evidence in her hand. I got her eating cookies. I even got her sister saying she saw her going in the cookie jar; so I'm very upset now because my baby daughter have lied to me. That's what I am thinking, . . . and she starts hiding the cookies. That is more proof. She is being deceiving now, so I tell her I want to see her in the house.

Critics? How do they happen?
We did however get an offer to write for the youth section. It is a true sign of a great newspaper that they let just anyone walk in and start writing.
So we wrote reviews of ice cream and board games and books and the occasional text on pretty much whatever. Then, in what alcoholics refer to as "a moment of clarity", I emailed a record company and asked for CDs for reviews. And they sent them! So I started reviewing CDs. I still have some of those first reviews, in my clippings folder, and they're horrible. Unspeakably horrible.
Then I moved to Sundsvall to go to college. I went to a Peace, Love and Pitbulls gig with some friends, and being music geeks, we stood there and had opinions on pretty much everything. A woman behind me asked if I knew the titles of the last few songs and I told her, in that condescending "my taste in music is better than you" way that I had back then (and still have, to some degree). That condescension gave me a job reviewing CDs for Sundsvall Tidning, which is a considerably bigger newspaper than Karlskoga's local rag.
After that I wrote for a couple of fanzines (this was back in the day when fanzines were still paper, made using a Xerox machine) and yet another paper in a city I went to college in. Then along came Supersatan, in maybe 1998 or 1999.
And here's a question for Hans. How did I come to write for Supersatan? I can't remember.
Supersatan was a metal site, where I wrote reviews and did interviews and such. I think I interviewed earthtone9 there, as well as P3 Rocks Håkan Persson. Writing there was a lot of fun, and we got a lot of attention and readers. Then one of Sweden's premier rock journalists wrote a column in Close-Up Magazine praising our site as Sweden's best metal site in Swedish, and specifically mentioned me as a writer with pretty much the same taste in music as he has.
About a month later I got an email from the editor of Close-Up asking if I wanted to write there. Which is an offer you don't refuse if you write about metal in Sweden. Mostly I did reviews of CDs, but I also wrote a couple of columns and did some interviews. I got to fly to London to see the first European gig Linkin Park ever did, where they played for a bunch of journalists, some record company bigwigs and a handful of fans. Business class there and back and one night in a fancy London hotel on the record company's dime, and all they got was half a page where the band answered The Basic Questions. Hardly a fair trade, but I didn't complain.
In 2002 I stopped writing for Close-Up because I had sort of a nervous breakdown (more on that some other time), and once I was back on my feet I started writing for Slavestate, which back then was an actual magazine. All of a sudden I could pretty much pick and choose which bands I wanted to do interviews with, and I got a lot more printed than in Close-Up. I've done interviews with Slipknot, Machine Head, Isis, Ministry, Cult of Luna, Type O Negative, Prong, Devin Townsend, 36 Crazyfists, Poison the Well, Burst, Pelican, etc (yes, namedropping galore, but that's what you should expect from me).
I'm still writing for Slavestate, though not as often as I did back in the day and not as often as I would like. Time is something that has been in shorter and shorter supply over the last couple of years. But I'm happy I'm still writing, because expressing my opinions about music is one of my favorite pastimes.

how long have i known you? and i have to read about this in your blog! ;)
fun reading.

Well, I'm not 100 per cent sure on when I kicked of Supersatan, but I guess it all began some time around 98/99. At first it was launched on a friends web server but it kind of attracted people right away and pretty soon I had to get a host that could handle the traffic. During this I registered supersatan.com, it might have been in 2000, and of it went.
Short after this I remember I got an e-mail from you asking if you could participate with reviews. You also sent some stuff you'd done and said that you already got CD's from labels and distributors. At this stage I've received that many CD's that I couldn't review them all myself. But I can't remember ever sending you anything..?
Anyway, I made some friends writers to help out. But half of them didn't have computers so I received hand written notes that I'd to write myself and this took up so much time. Unfortunately this was a major reason why I had to quit cos I did nothing else after work but write Supersatan.
But we totally ruled the web at that time!

Nice.. that more than makes up for them forcing us to pay for all those unsecured bondholders.
So does the national rail company take on the cost? If so great deal for Ireland since next to nobody will use it to come here since our railways are entirely isolated from the rest of the EU and entirely isolated from our own airports. Win win for Irish 18year olds.
I'd like to see more money for education in languages meself. And more money for research into improved language teaching.

Looks really cool!
I have this alarm dock in the natural wood version, and I love it! It's really cute on my bedside table, and I downloaded an app called "Wake" to be my alarm. The only catch is that you can't fit your phone in PERFECTLY if it has a case on it; the dock is designed for a naked iPhone! This isn't a problem for me since I have a case that pops on and off, but I thought it was worth mentioning. All in all, very cool-looking!4

May I trust God with my life, my days, my missteps, my mistakes.
May I dream big, hope bigger, and cling close to the One who loves me without condition. May my heart be open to being loved in all the ways that one can be loved. May my spirit be generous and willing to bend, bow, or rise to the places it is called. May I find rest and grace, and may I offer them too.
May I learn to see, use, and appreciate my resources. May I be brave in faith, willing to trust-fall into the arms of the One who made me. May I create – with words and wounds and food and faith and time and space and whatever else may come my way.
May I take care of myself and of anyone whose path I cross, because I am my brother's keeper. And my sister's too. Because we do belong to one another. Because we are called to compassion.
May I allow others to take care of me. May I accept the love and compassion of others, recognizing my deep human needs echo the deep human needs of all. Because we are all more alike than we are different.
May I lean more on the strength of Christ than of myself, my circumstance, or anyone else. May I spend time with my feet in rivers and oceans, in warmth and sun, in showers of rain and grace.
May I believe that I am loved and worthy and already enough.
May I give fear no power, no room in my life. May I find myself awash in the truth of love, eyes wide open to the beauty and the blessings and the promise that is a promise, from the One that does not lie and does not fail and does not forget.
May I turn my face and my heart toward the light and point the way to anyone watching, May I never fear the darkness, never dread the night nor the season that is trying, because the light that is within me is greater than all the darkness in the entire world. And so, I am not alone and truly, the victory is already mine. Songs are sung over me by the One who loves me all the way down in the deepest places and so, with the light and the song that is in me and around me but is not my own, I can carry on.
May I cast off that which hinders me and run the race set before me, sure of the good thing that has been started in me that will not be abandoned, sure of a path made in the wilderness, sure of the goodness of God, sure of the living water that can quench the throbbing, thirsting ache that nothing else can quell.
May I believe that belief is enough. May I turn from the idea of scarcity and know that God is enough, that my boundaries have fallen in pleasant places. May I love well. May I navigate the words and the worlds that I find myself on the fringes of.
May I find the place that is mine and may I commit to the sacred act of being who I am, who I was designed to be from the beginning.
May I honor the God-light in myself and in everyone I meet.
May I learn how to let go of the criticisms offered harshly or with ill-intent. May I face the ones submitted in love with peace of mind (and heart), knowing that it's okay to not be perfect. May I be willing to face the push-back that comes when I stop people pleasing.
May I learn to live joyfully, gratefully. May I be willing to be wrong, to fail, in the name of trying, of living, of daring greatly, of being human.
May my kindnesses outweigh my carelessness. May I be present in, aware of, my days. May my children grow in health and towards the light. May they know me, not as a shell or a role, but as a woman. A mother who is a person. May I know myself that way as well.
May I trust my instincts. May I attempt to execute healthy boundaries. May I keep my sense of humor.
May I trust God is enough. May I trust God is. May I trust God. May I trust.
May I sing praises in the morning light, under the starry sky, and on the darkest nights because I trust the light is within, because I trust that God does not abandon, and does not despise my need. Because I trust God loves me without condition. Because God loves. Because God is love. Because God is enough and God is love, so love is enough.
May I believe that love is enough.
May I remember that God is love, and God is not small or weak or fickle, so love is not small or weak or fickle. May I not be afraid to love and call it love, out loud. Fearless, strong, faithful love. Messy, tangled love willing to be broken open in the name of more love in more ways in more places in the name of love who is God.
May I need only the approval of the One who loved me first, loves me most, loves me best so that when the eyebrows raise and the protests rise I can stand firm in who I am, the words I'm given, the movement of the spirit that I know in my core.
May I allow love to fight for me while I stand still, in faith, in rest, in worship. May I remember to breathe deeply, and to use all my senses in the ordinary moments that I may find sanctuary in all the places where I am. May I find meaning in the tedious tasks and the shiny moments equal, all holy when my eyes are lifted up toward heaven. May I find comfort in the truth that the vapor of this life, with its light and temporary troubles, is outweighed by the coming glory. May I find redemption stories everywhere I turn my heart. May I believe. And be alive.
May I live in the freedom that is gifted to me. May I help to set the captives free. May I never forget sometimes the captive is me.
May I sit by a well full of living water and find my cup overflowing, allowing me to ask anyone who comes my way "Would you like something drink? I have plenty."

A brilliant idea!
If you have time, before you reach Penteli mountain a Sunday morning (from 10-18), you could visit the Emfietzoglou Gallery.

For the reasons set forth below and with modifications stated herein, the Court ADOPTS the report and recommendation AS MODIFIED and GRANTS in part and DENIES in part Defendants' motion to dismiss.
Procedural Background
On August 8, 2008, Plaintiff filed a first amended complaint against Correctional Officer Thompson, Correctional Sergeant Cruz and Registered Nurse Peterson. (Dkt. No. 7.)

Factual Background
According to the second amended complaint, on June 15, 2007, at around 4:00, Plaintiff fell asleep due to a medical condition while on the top bunk of a bunk bed. (SAC at 3*fn1 .) As a result of his fall, he cut his left foot "to the point that the injury needed stitches, and was bleeding-profusely, as well as twisting my ankle,-shaving off skin on my right thigh, and causing further damage to an already damaged ciatic nerve." (Id. at 3.) He and his cell mate screamed for assistance from Correctional Officers Esquilin and Amiling who were on duty at the time and they both refused to respond. (Id.) After about 30 minutes and as the pain became unbearable, his cell mate yelled for medical help screaming "man down." (Id.) The pleas for help were heard and ignored by both officers. (Id.)
A few days before the fall, on June 12, 2007, Plaintiff claims he spoke with Correctional Sergeant Perez about the "dangerous condition" where he was housed. (Id. at 11.) Plaintiff explained how two officers forced him into a top bunk on a top tier on June 11, 2007. (Id.) Plaintiff showed Perez his comprehensive medical chrono. (Id.) Perez asked Plaintiff if his condition was documented in his medical file and Plaintiff replied yes. (Id.) Plaintiff further explained that he had "severe sleep apnea" and that he had fallen from his bunk bed at his previous facility. (Id.) He claims that he talked with Defendant Perez two more time that week; however, Perez failed to act and allowed Plaintiff to remain in a dangerous situation. (Id.)
A. Scope of Review of Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation
The district court "shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the report . . . to which objection is made," and "may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). A district court may adopt those parts of a Magistrate Judge's report to which no specific objection is made, provided they are not clearly erroneous. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 152-53 (1985).
B. Eleventh Amendment Immunity
Plaintiff has not filed objections as to the Magistrate Judge's recommendation that Plaintiff's monetary claims against the Defendants in their official capacities be granted under the Eleventh Amendment.

* Q2 EPS C$1.26 vs C$0.61 a year earlier
* Q2 cash EPS C$1.28 surpasses C$1.10 EPS expectations
* Provisions for credit losses fall 33 pct to C$249 mln
* Shares up 3.3 percent in early trade (Adds analyst's comments, share price, byline)
By Andrea Hopkins
TORONTO, May 26 (Reuters) - Bank of Montreal (BMO.TO) said on Wednesday its profit doubled in the second quarter as loan losses fell and capital markets surged, surpassing market expectations.
The surprisingly strong results kicked off Canada's bank earnings season with a bang and raised expectations for better credit quality at all of Canada's big lenders, most of which report quarterly results this week.
It was the fifth straight quarter of higher revenues and net income for Toronto-based BMO, which has retail and wholesale banking operations across Canada and the U.S. Midwest. Its shares rose 3.3 percent in early Toronto trade.
"While always difficult with only one bank reporting (compounded by the fact that there is only one trading day before the bulk of the group reports), we believe that BMO's results set a very positive tone for earnings this quarter," Barclays Capital analyst John Aiken wrote in a research note.
While all of the big lenders will likely benefit from lower loan losses after suffering from consumer and business defaults during the recession, Aiken noted that BMO has outperformed rivals over the past two quarters.
"While it does look like the banks can exceed consensus based on BMO's results, if the previous quarters are an indication, the remaining banks may not generate the same strength in their positive surprises," he said.
BMO, Canada's fourth-largest bank, said it had net income of C$745 million ($702 million), or C$1.26 a share, for the quarter ended April 30. That's up from C$358 million, or C$0.61 a share, a year earlier.
Cash earnings per share were C$1.28, up from 63 Canadian cents in the second quarter of 2009. That was well above the C$1.10 per share profit expected by analysts, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
BMO's Canadian operations once again powered earnings, with profit up 16 percent from a year earlier to C$396 million.
The capital markets segment was also strong, with profit rising 38 percent to C$259 million. Canadian banks bulked up on their wholesale banking operations, which include lucrative trading arms, during the global financial crisis when rivals were reeling.
BMO's U.S. operations, which are concentrated in the U.S. Midwest through the bank's Chicago-based Harris Bank subsidiary, were a weak spot. Net income fell 31 percent to US$45 million from the second quarter of 2009.
BMO has been stung by higher loan losses in the United States relative to its Canadian operations as U.S. consumer and business borrowers struggle with the slower U.S. recovery.
The bank has said it is retooling its U.S. operations to focus on commercial lending. Under the restructuring, corporate customers will be moved to the bank's commercial lending arm.
BMO said provisions for credit losses, or the amount of money the bank set aside to cover bad loans, fell to C$249 million, down C$123 million from a year earlier.
Credit losses ate into bank profits in 2009 as consumers and businesses struggled to repay debts during the recession, but conditions improved in the first quarter and analysts had expected further improvement in the last three months.
Tier 1 capital was 13.3 percent, at the high end of Canadian peers and well above that of most global rivals.
The quarterly dividend was unchanged at 70 Canadian cents a share, as expected.
Harris Bank in April completed the FDIC-assisted acquisition of AMCORE Bank N.A. in Illinois and Wisconsin. While the deal was not expected to be material to BMO's earnings, the bank has said it is eager to increase its geographic footprint across the U.S. Midwest.
Canada's other big banks are due to report this week and next. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CM.TO), Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO), Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD.TO) and National Bank of Canada (NA.TO) report on Thursday. Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS.TO) caps the earnings season on June 1.
Shares of all of the banks were up in early Toronto trade on Wednesday in a stronger overall market.

A pleasant little breathy ramble through a Beck B-side as he takes an airbrush to Iron & Wine. Radin has famous friends, so expect to hear more of him as the likes of Rick Rubin and Zach Braff casually drop his name into interviews. I'm just thankful he's not another James Blunt or Jack Johnson but who knows? One sleb friend too many and we may have another sentimental car-crash smeared in shit on our hands.

Supreme Court of South Carolina
January 28, 2015
The State, Respondent,v.Kenneth Darrell Morris, II, Petitioner
Heard: June 24, 2014.
Page 855
Appeal from York County. The Honorable John C. Hayes, III, Circuit Court Judge. Appellate Case No. 2011-203786.
Johnny Gardner, of Johnny Gardner Law Group, P.A., of Conway, for Petitioner.
Attorney General Alan M. Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Senior Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, Assistant Attorney General Mark R. Farthing, all of Columbia, and Kevin S. Brackett, of York, for Respondent.
JUSTICE HEARN. TOAL, C.J., and KITTREDGE, J., concur. PLEICONES, J., dissenting in a separate opinion in which BEATTY, J., concurs.
Page 856
Kenneth Darrell Morris, II challenges the trial court's denial of his motion to suppress ecstasy and marijuana discovered during a traffic stop, arguing they were obtained as the fruits of an illegal search and seizure in violation of the Fourth Amendment. We disagree, finding the officers had both reasonable suspicion of criminal activity and probable cause to conduct a warrantless search of the entire vehicle. Accordingly, we affirm.
Morris was driving on Interstate 77 through York County with Brandon Nichols in a rental vehicle. Officer L.T. Vinesett, Jr. and Constable W.E. Scott observed Morris commit a traffic violation by following a truck too closely. The officers followed Morris as he exited the interstate and initiated a traffic stop as he pulled into a gas station.
Vinesett approached the passenger side of the vehicle and requested that Morris produce his driver's license and registration. Vinesett then asked Morris to exit the vehicle and accompany him to the police cruiser. As Vinesett ran Morris's license, he asked Morris several questions about where the two men were traveling from and what they did there. Morris told Vinesett they went " to see some girls" in Atlanta and were on their way back to North Carolina. Vinesett returned to the rental vehicle and spoke briefly with Nichols, who stated he and Morris were returning from Atlanta after going to see a cousin play basketball.
Vinesett radioed Officer Gibson of the York County Police Department for a K-9 unit. While waiting for the K-9 unit to arrive, Scott conducted a consensual search of Morris, which yielded no contraband. After stating repeatedly that he had to use the restroom, Morris was escorted to the restroom by Scott.
Nichols also asked to use the restroom. He exited the vehicle and consented to a search of his person by Vinesett, [411 S.C. 576] which yielded no contraband. Vinesett told Nichols he would have to wait to use the restroom until Morris returned. Vinesett asked Nichols if he smoked marijuana earlier in the day and said he swore he smelled marijuana when Nichols exited the vehicle. Nichols stated the smell was from ...

Maoists warn Akshay & Saina
Expressing anger over extending the monetary assistance to families of CRPF jawans killed in Naxal ambush in Sukma, Maoists have warned Bollywood star Akshay Kumar and ace badminton player Saina Nehwal.
The local units of banned Communist Party of India (Maoist) have distributed pamphlets in Bastar, Chattisgarh and asked celebrities and well-known personalities to stand by the oppressed tribals and raise a voice against the violation of their human rights, according to a report.
The Naxalite pamphlet reads that Akshay and Saina should not have stood by the side of jawans. Noteworthy, Akshay Kumar had donated Rs 9 lakh each to the accounts of the dependents of the 12 jawans killed in Sukma ambush in March.
After Akshay Kumar, badminton star Saina also came forward to help martyrs' families.She had donated Rs50,000 each to families of 12 jawans killed in the Naxal ambush in Sukma.
Moreover, Akshay Kumar also launched the Indian government portal 'Bharatkeveer.com'. It's a website where citizens can directly donate money to the families of martyrs.

In the Samian and the Peloponnesian wars, Artaxerxes remained neutral, in spite of the attempts made by both Sparta and Athens to gain his alliance.
Little is known of the mild and indolent Artaxerxes II.
The only really brutal tyrants were Darius II., who was completely dominated by his bloodthirsty wife Parysatis, and Artaxerxes III.

In spite of his weakness, Artaxerxes I.
The Athenians, irritated by the support which Artaxerxes had lately given to the revolt of their allies, and excited by rumours of his hostile preparations, were feverishly eager for a war with Persia.
In the twentieth year of Artaxerxes (445 B.C.), Nehemiah the royal cup-bearer at Shushan (Susa, the royal winter palace) was visited by friends from Judah and was overcome with grief at the tidings of the miserable condition of Jerusalem and the pitiful state of the Judaean remnant which had escaped the captivity.
Moreover, although general opinion identifies our Artaxerxes with the first of that name, certain features suggest that there has been some confusion with the traditions of the time of Artaxerxes II.
When Philip attacked Perinthus and Byzantium (340), Artaxerxes sent them support, by which they were enabled to withstand the Macedonians; Philip's antagonists in Greece, Demosthenes and his party, hoped to get subsidies from the king, but were disappointed.

The shrimpy one is just all of the sudden hilarious {seriously, look at that hair!}. She does wild facial expressions and has started walking up to me any time in the day and saying, "Mom, what you doing?" with this eyes wide with excitement look. For some reason it makes me laugh every time! Ah, my babes, I love them. Through this whole transition they are adjusting so well & helping me keep my sanity. Some days are better then others, but, they are still so little.:) The clock is ticking - T minus 4 weeks to go!
So anyway - we spent the morning at the local library here, which my children love, and came home with bags full of books. Tho, I think I came home with more this time ;) Here's what's on our reading piles for the next few weeks.
For the girls -Some Fall theme books :)
|source for pics: Amazon.com
And for Momma - a few of my best girl friends. ;)
I'm eager to pour through these and get some ideas for the last few weeks before we move. Now that it's slightly less hot in the evening, it's actually appealing to eat dinner again.
And, in prep for our Fall ladies bible study - I'm diving into this gem.
What are you reading these days?

Nearly 500 years ago, Andres de Tapia, a Spanish soldier and member of Hernan Cortes' conquistador party, wrote down his account of some of the things he saw while in Mexico. One site that struck fear into the hearts of de Tapia and his compatriots were towers made of thousands of human skulls. He called these structures the Huey Tzompantli, and he claimed that they were made of the heads of defeated warriors.
Such towers were meant to serve as warning to the tribesmen of what might happen to them if they stopped conquering neighboring tribes or if they themselves were ever defeated or taken in battle. The captured, defeated warriors would probably have been sacrificed to the gods first before being beheaded. The heads likely would have first been put on public display before being placed in the tower.
Archaeologists have long assumed that the skulls would have been those of male warriors killed in tribal battles between warring Aztec clans. However, one of these skull towers has been recently uncovered, and it has thrown this assumption into question.
The skull tower that was found was comprised of at least 675 whole skulls. Fragments of many more human skulls were also unearthed. While there were many skulls belonging to men, there were also many that belonged to women and children. Since women and children were not likely to have gone to war, archaeologists are now rethinking the assumed purpose and origin of the towers.
The skulls were located in a site next to the Metropolitan Cathedral in Mexico City, which used to be the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan. This cathedral was built over one of the most important Aztec temples in history, called the Templo Mayor by historians. The newly discovered skull tower was found on one corner of the chapel of Huitzilopochtli, the Aztec god of war, the sun, and human sacrifice. This chapel formed a part of the larger Templo Mayor, which also contained chapels dedicated to other gods.
Work on the dig site is ongoing, and the base of the temple and skull rack have not yet been uncovered. Researchers believe they will uncover many more skulls before their work is through. They also hope to make further discoveries that will help them uncover the mystery of the skulls of the women and children.

What a great night for Caps hockey! Ovie was in the starting lineup and was announced as the new captain of the team and then the Caps beat the Habs in style.
Alex Semin was on fire tonight and scored two goals and Tomas Fleischmann had a goal and two assists in his first game as a center. Eric Fehr also scored, which was great for him, especially since he had fallen out of favor of Coach Bourdeau over the past week and was a healthy scratch in the last game.
What a relief that the Caps broke that losing streak and they did it against a worthy opponent.
Here's a video from NHL.com with cheesy music showing Ovie putting on his captains jersey for the first time. I think it's awesome that the team has entrusted him with the responsibility.
In more Caps news, the Caps Insider is reporting that David Steckel signed an extension. Yay!

Right after Christmas we left for Florida. I wish i could tell you that the weather was AWESOME and that both kids didn't get double ear infections, but then I'd be lying. I think that I am cursed. This is three trips in a row with record low temperatures! But we got to hang with Mimi, Papa, Aunt Patricia and Uncle Josh and we had a great New Year's Eve, complete with a sparkling grape juice, Dick Clarke and fireworks on the beach. And we got to go to Lion Country Safari too. the kids loved that! We're headed back down in March for our first Dinsey Cruise, so keep your fingers crossed for good weather!
One funny story to share about Hughie. We were at the Ramp eating shrimp when a large breasted, tight clothed, heavily made-up, but very pretty girl walked in. As I watched all the men rubberneck as sha walked by, I noticed Hughie did the same! It really made me laugh. I had no idea it started so young. ;)

The Holidays
The kids were so excited for and enchanted by Christmas this year. We spent a lot of time decorating the house, making paper snowflakes and reading Christmas books. Chuck insisted that we get a "real" tree this year. We wanted to start a new tradition with the kids where we would take them out to a farm, pick our own tree and chop it down. I was really excited about that, but for some reason every occasion we had a chunk of time to do it it was windy and bitter cold. Eventually we gave up, but next year for sure! We did get a chance to go to see the lights at Rocky Ridge with Grammy Lori and Pappy Chuck. Georgia really loved the lights and Hughie would have spent hours in the train house watching the toys trains go around the track.
This was my first Christmas with the kids waking up in their own home on Christmas morning. I felt a lot more pressure this year to make it really special! Gifts were wrapped and stored at Mimi's house and covertly transported to my house on Christmas Eve. After the festivities at Mimi's house, we went home and put the kids right into bed. Lately they've been sleeping together in Hughie's bed, so that's where they went. There was no protest, in fact, they may have hurried me along in getting them into bed. And I didn't hear a peep from them until about 7!I knew that the kids wouldn't dare get out of bed and risk Santa not showing, so we put the gifts out right away and went to bed ourselves.
When we all got up in the morning i told the kids that they couldn't open presents until Grammy Lori and Pappy Chuck showed up. Hughie struggled with this idea, and the second Grammy and Pappy walked through the door Hughie literally TORE into his pile of gifts. After that it's all a blur. Georgia was somewhat disheartened that she didn't get the motorized scooter that she asked for until I checked her stocking and realized that Santa left her a note. He told her that he left her something on the porch. We went out front and THERE WAS A SCOOTER! The scooter was a lot faster than Santa realized, so we're taking it as slow as possible. She also got a Nintento DSi from Mimi. She's growing up way too fast!! Hughie's big gifts this year were a train table from Mimi and a Leapster Explorer from Santa. Overall is was a wonderful Christmas and I can't wait for next year. ;)

Sunday with a Before and After
Pretty productive weekend. Mananged to finish a couple projects that I've been meaning to for months...
Mitzi, they're finally in the mail. Along with Here Fishy.
The "Before" picture of the basement.
It's not much, but I wanted to cut down on the bowling alley aspect of the room.
Chose not to go with the Greg Brady route with beads, instead just some simple fabric panels hung from the ceiling.
Also, I took down the green sheets I had hanging in the window and made curtains out of the same material. Not sure if I'm done yet, but for right now, I'm pleased with the result.
It's hard to tell in the picture, but the fabric nearly matches the walls.
My huband drove to see his beloved team play this weekend. That leaves the basement tv sad and lonely for company. Rather than putting the high-def to work for guys in tight pants, it's been put to service watching "Meet the Robinsons." If you haven't seen it already, do.
