The Latham Diaries (which I don't intend to buy and read) really reflect on the sideshow of Australian politics - the Australian Labor Party - and only relevant to the general running of Australia to the extent that they explain why Labor is such a poor Opposition to the strength of Howard's Government.
The are sadly a great distraction from the main game - how Australia is governed today. It is shocking how inept the Howard government is outside the realm of economic policy. This is most illustrated by the Immigration Department which despite incarcerating and deporting Australian citizens (talk about failure to function!) seems to be above any agenda for change or indeed for anyone from Minister Vanstone down to take responsibility.
Michael Pascoe writing for Crikey.com.au nails it well.
8. DIMIA and dimmer
Michael Pascoe, associate editor of Eureka Report, writes:
Another absolutely damning report on the Immigration Department, a few more headlines, no-one is responsible, the Government neatly sidesteps the much bigger outrage and nothing really happens. Same old, same old.
Just like the Rau case before it, the Vivian Solon investigation indicates we have a terminally corrupt political culture – much worse than anything Mark Latham's Diaries accuse anyone of. And just like the Rau case before it, the investigation has been deftly kept within limited bounds to make sure its ramifications will be strictly limited.
Already Amanda Vanstone, Co-Minister for No Responsibilities, has managed to hose the whole thing down to three unnamed bureaucrats, one of them already retired. Despite the department's overall culture being fingered, no-one is responsible for it.
Indeed, those who are supposed to have been responsible for it, who are and have been well paid to be responsible for it, have been given honours and promotions. As the maxim of finance journalism goes, follow the money – and if you do that you reach the conclusion that the Government has been very happy with the way DIMIA operates.
But the big crime is the one Vanstone, Co-Minister Ruddock and Prime Minister for No Responsibilities John Howard are all getting away with: how DIMIA deals with non-Australian citizens.
It is a very fair assumption that many, many more people cop the treatment dealt to Rau and Solon – but the Government will not be letting a commission of inquiry look into that. These other people are not Australian citizens and therefore apparently don't matter to Vanstone/Ruddock/Howard.
Yes, the system works just fine.

Also from the garden show...
The following day at the Garden Show I started out painting this lovely fountain surrounded by blue hydrangeas in a garden designed by John's Landscapes.
In the afternoon I went back to the Circa booth and focused in on this interesting arrangement of antique garden tools and soft peony blossoms. It really was a nice booth and my favorite at the show.
Completing a finished painting was difficult with all the traffic at the show, so I just approached my paintings as studies and practiced working quickly. It was interesting working in public and talking with the many visitors to the show.

PA Garden Show of York
Several members of the Susquehanna Valley Plein Air Painters are demonstrating "plein air" painting at the garden show. Well, it is not
plein air as we are painting inside the expo center, but there are beautifully landscaped gardens that make you feel as if you stepped into an April day. We also have some member paintings on display in the Art in the Garden booth.
It is not just gardens though. There are lots of booths displaying plants, floral arrangements, garden tools, and neat architectural garden treasures.
I was especially attracted to this set up at the booth for Circa Antiques....full of interesting shapes and textures. This is where I set up my easel and got busy.
8x8 oil
The show runs through Sunday and there will be painters at various times throughout the weekend, so if you have a chance check it out.

Locutus of Borg
Locutus of Borg - Mek Fighter
Locutus of Borg
Mek Fighter
Currently at this point, nothing is known of his history, except that Locutus comes from a sentient race, programmed to assimilate all possible lifeforms, and thereby achieving absolute peace by dominant control over the mind and body. However, Locutus appeared to be different; when Dr. Thaddeus discovered him, he was capable of emotion and cognitive thought without having to receive orders.
Locutus' ship was found wandering the asteroid belt nearby Thaddeus' science facility. He retained no memories of a past life, except for brief knowledge of the Borg and his own name. Thaddeus took him in and performed tests on him, as well as used him around the facility for extra defense and maintenance.
Locutus is a Borg. Not much is known about the Borg, as it is suspected that Locutus comes from a different realm of existence. What knowledge has been derived by Doctor Thaddeus is the following:
- The Borg are Hiveminded beings. Locutus is humanoid, and it is suspected that they have been adapted from different species.
- The Borg are connected back to a Hive Lord. While Locutus does not have any subordinates, Thaddeus hypothesizes that Locutus is in fact a Hive Lord; he feels emotions, and makes rational decisions on his own, without deferring to anyone else.
- The Borg are both mechanical and organic in nature. Doctor Thaddeus seems to feel that if one Borg in the Hive gets sick, all the Hive will adapt and overcome the sickness together, making them completely immune. However, tests were inconclusive because Thaddeus was unable to replicate a master-slave connection between Locutus and another organic.
- Though organic connections were unavailable, Dr. Thaddeus discovered that Locutus was able to connect to the mind of a computer and take dominance over it.

ILSP: SHARIAsource Fellow's Lecture :: Mubasher Hussain :: Shah Waliullah Dehlavi and His Neglected Views on Islamic Law (17 April 2017 | Cambridge, MA).Monday, April 17, 2017 | 12:00-1:00 pm | WCC 3016, 1585 Massachusetts Avenue
Join a lunch discussion with Dr. Mubasher Hussain on his current research. Dr. Hussain is an ILSP: SHARIAsource Fulbright Fellow, and Head of the Sirah Unit at the Islamic Research Institute, International Islamic University, in Islamabad, Pakistan.
Talk Description: Ahmad bin 'Abd al-Rahim, popularly known as Shah Waliullah Dehlavi (1114-1176/1703-1762), one of the greatest thinkers produced by Muslim South Asia, was a prolific writer of his age who contributed to almost every branch of Islamic knowledge and inspired almost all religious circles through his thought-provoking ideas. He has been looked into in terms of his educational and socio-political ideas as well as his mystical approaches while his views on Islamic law (and his attempt to reconcile interpretive differences in Islamic law and jurisprudence) have been ignored, from within as well as from without. To reconstruct his legal ideas, I intend to revisit the various sources in order to trace trajectories of the discourse that led to the silencing of this part of Waliullah´s writings.
To RSVP to the event, please visit: http://bit.ly/2nvjpNq. The event will be held in Wasserstein Hall (WCC) 3016, 1585 Massachusetts Avenue. Lunch will be served.

AEC-led Coalition Racing Against the Clock in GPX Case
As reported in the January 2012 of essentiAls, your Aluminum Extruders Council was leading a coalition of industries in a critically important effort to fix the potentially disastrous effects of the GPX decision. If left unopposed this appeals court decision could have eliminated the hard-won tariff against Chinese extrusions coming into the U.S. Fortunately for the U.S. extrusion industry, the AEC, and many of our allies, sprang into action to oppose this decision. Those efforts are paying off. Already the effective date of the GPX decision has been pushed back one month, to March 5. This gives Congress the added time it needs to pass legislation that will fix the problem.
The legislative strategy, to a great extent developed and led by AEC and its legal team at King & Spalding, is to have the legislative fix begin in the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee, whose Chairman is Michigan Congressman Dave Camp. Camp's office released a supportive statement that helped achieve the necessary extension of time. Assuming legislation soon comes out of the House, it will then go to the U.S. Senate for ratification. There, support from leaders such as Senators Portman and Brown of Ohio, who released their own public statement last week will be critical. AEC will continue to fight for the industry and keep you involved and informed.
"Aluminum extruders must defend fair trade," said AEC President Rand Baldwin, "American manufacturers are joining forces to preserve markets and jobs. Removing CVD remedies could devastate U.S. manufacturing, and invite predatory and market-distorting actions from China and others. The ITC ruling against dumping of cheap Chinese extrusion imports must be upheld and enforced. AEC aluminum extruder members deserve to compete in a Fair Trade arena. The American aluminum extrusion industry's survival is at stake. We intend to fight for our future, and drive the resurgence of American manufacturing."
State of the Union Address Included China Fair Trade Comments
In the 2012 State of the Union Speech, President Obama's comments on Fair Trade reflected his intention to strengthen the Fair Trade environment with regard to China: "...I will not stand by when our competitors don't play by the rules. We've brought trade cases against China at nearly twice the rate of the last administration, and it's made a difference...but we need to do more... It's not fair when foreign manufacturers have a leg up on ours only because they're heavily subsidized...if the playing field is level, I promise you: America will always win." The President then announced the creation of a Trade Enforcement Unit to investigate unfair trading practices in countries like China. He pledged that there will be more inspections to prevent counterfeit or unsafe goods from entering the U.S.
The AEC-led national Coalition of manufacturers and their industry associations recently sent a letter to President Obama, requesting his help to stop unscrupulous importers and exporters who are evading Antidumping and/or Countervailing Duty Orders. The Coalition asked the President and his Administration to help combat these duty evasion practices by directing the U.S. Department of Commerce to immediately change the current Commerce policy of not making country of origin determinations as part of the periodic administrative reviews of these Orders. The Coalition cites the Commerce Department as the agency responsible for U.S. antidumping and countervailing duty law, and as such, must be responsible for ensuring that its own Orders are effectively enforced.

Here are a few little known facts about the show and the truTV BLACK GOLD characters:
- The second season will feature "Rooster" McConaughey, the brother of movie actor Matthew. This is also a second season for Rooster, who also appeared in season one.
- Rooster named his second son Miller Lyte after his favorite beer
- The newest member of the crew is a city slicker added to make the series a touch more nerve wrenching.
- Since the opening show many of the men are getting a women fan base. Many websites getting requests for more photos of the sweaty, muddy men.
- Miller Lite beer and the fast food chain Wendy's are the sponsors of the second season, I guess that is to appeal to the young viewers that are watching.
- Miller Lite beer will also be featured in the show itself. I wonder if that is a wise move?
- The show's major audience is men ages 18-54
- Autry Stephens is the owner of the oil company featured in the second season. He is a multimillionaire. He has more than 4,000 wells producing approximately $1.5 million of oil every day.
- Stephens is a local legend and owner of the 10th largest producing company of Texas oil.
Now are you more inclined to watch the show? Is it dangerous enough for you? I find that most real life TV shows appeal to people that have a connection to that profession. I personally have more of a connection to the AX Men show simply because I live in an area that is logged. For people living on the coast, Deadliest Catch might have more appeal. Of course Black Gold appeals to all those men that are mechanically inclined or have a job working with heavy equipment. Not all men will be watching the show. I have heard the remark "it reminds me too much of where I work" and they won't be watching the show. I wonder what the truTV BLACK GOLD Healthcare plan is like?

Recently, I was asked to provide a personal definition of ministry. Like most other things, I didn't realize how much time I would have to spend thinking about it! As frustrating as it was, I'm grateful I set aside the time to sit down and really think about it.
Below is my response to defining ministry. Whether you choose to read it or not, that's up to you! But I challenge you to do the same sometime. As rough (or time-consuming) as it may be, take a few minutes to focus on what ministry is to you and how it impacts your world. Being present to the moment of your ministry will take you on a beautiful journey.
There is something mysterious about the dwindling embers of the campfire's blaze, the soothing sounds of ocean waves rolling on the shore, the calmness that comes with gazing at the vastness of the stars, or the tenderness of grandma's embrace. Each, in their own way, pierces the walls (yes that's plural) surrounding my heart and in those brief moments of inner-stillness, I feel the weight I carry disappear. The pain kept inside is relieved, my mind stops racing about the challenges of tomorrow, and I remember to focus on the moment and the sacredness that surrounds me.
At the same time, I love reconnecting with my congregation on Sundays. Church is an opportunity to listen to the stories of each other's soul and how they could potentially shape our own. Together we sing, share, laugh, celebrate, and pray. Once again, I find that these moments penetrate my heart's fortress and the weight I carry disappears.
For me, ministry is the process of transformation. Either watching a toddler experience the adventures found in every church pew, talking with a dear friend when I feel broken inside, or the nights I spent alone swaying back and forth on a swinging bridge, I discovered the power of ministry by simply being present to the moment. We are continuously called to pursue something greater than ourselves, and if we choose to respond openly to that sacredness, every step has the power to transform our relationships with self, community, and God making us ministers of the living Spirit.

WINNIPEG — Arthur Blankstein and Paula Parks, co-chairs of the 21st World Conference of GLBT Jews, believe it was bashert that Winnipeg would be the first Canadian city to host the world's largest regular event for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered Jews.
Parks and Blankstein attended the 2010 conference in Los Angeles. "We thought that some day, it would be great to bring this international gathering to Winnipeg. Well, that 'some day' is here," Parks said.
"With the [expected opening] of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights here next year, we thought that this conference would be a great way to promote Winnipeg as the place to celebrate diversity."
Organizers expect some 250 people to attend the event, which runs July 5 to 7 at the Winnipeg Convention Centre.
""We have people coming from England, South America, Europe and Israel in addition to Canada and the United States," Blankstein said.
"We are excited to show off Winnipeg's famous hospitality and demonstrate our world-renowned reputation as a first-class host for international conferences and events."
Event partners include the World Congress of GLBT Jews (also known as Keshet Ga'avah), Winnipeg's Anakhnu Jewish GLBT Group, the Rady Jewish Community Centre, Congregation Shaarey Zedek and Temple Shalom (Winnipeg's Reform congregation), with funding provided by the Asper Foundation, the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba, the Winnipeg Foundation and the City of Winnipeg.
The Jewish Federation of Winnipeg, Gray Academy of Jewish Education, Hillel Winnipeg, Jewish Child and Family Service, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, Tourism Winnipeg and Keshet have also signed on as community partners.
The first gay and lesbian Jewish organization in the world was the Jewish Gay and Lesbian Group, formed in London, England, in 1972, Blankstein said. It was quickly followed by the first gay and lesbian synagogues in Los Angeles and New York's Congregation, and by 1975, gay and lesbian Jewish groups were active in San Francisco, Boston, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and Miami.
The first International Conference of Gay Jews took place in August of 1976, and in 1980 in San Francisco, the World Congress of Gay and Lesbian Organizations was officially born. Since then, it has changed its name several times and is now known as the World Congress of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Jews.
Its Hebrew name – Keshet Ga'avah – means "rainbow of pride" and reflects the importance of Israel to the organization. It has member groups worldwide, and holds annual board meetings, as well as regional and world conferences.
Its goal is to "nurture an environment where gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Jews worldwide can enjoy free and fulfilling lives," Blankstein said.
"The level of acceptance is much greater now for GLBT people than it was 40 years ago," he said.
"In the '70s, we were still considered pariahs by many people. That is still the case in some circles."
Among the high-profile speakers to be featured at the conference is Joy Ladin, author of Through the Door of Life, in which the Yeshiva University professor, formerly known as Jay Ladin, takes readers inside her transition as she changed genders and, in the process, created a new self.
Also speaking will be former Winnipegger Rokie Bernstein, a rabbi, maggid and spiritual counsellor, as well as Joel Kushner, founding director of the Institute for Judaism and Sexual Orientation (IJSO) at Hebrew Union College-JIR; social worker and Jewish community worker Michael Waxman, and Chicago-area community worker and community leader Carol Goldbaum, who will be speaking about aging.
The latter issue is a serious concern for GLBT Jews, Blankstein said. "It's hard enough getting older when you have a family support group," he said. "Most GLBT people don't have children to look after them in their old age, and many of us who were born more than 30 years ago were cut off by our siblings."

Here's a small snippet
Currently I have a, "No-Depressing-Book" Policy. So when I had the opportunity to read, Do Over by Shannon Guymon I was thrilled. She and I work together at A Guardian Angel Adoptions, both working on the Birth Mother Crisis line. She is incredible.
In this day and age it is very nearly impossible to pick up a book that does not contain complete filth. My feelings on this were intensified Sunday after painfully sitting through the Super Bowl with my family, cringing at almost every commercial and completely disgusted with Hollywood's version of a "family friendly" halftime show.

Monday they finished back-filling and prepping the inside of foundation for the slab. 4 inches of gravel were brought in to go under the slab.
Tuesday our plumbers started the rough plumbing. They put in all the sewer and water lines that need to go under the slab.
Wednesday all the work the plumbers did on Tuesday was inspected and then the interior footings were dug, the plastic vapor barrier was put down and a wire mesh was put down. The vapor barrier is to hopefully keep any ground water from making its way from underneath into our slab. It also serves to reflect the heat generated from the radiant tubing up into the slab and not down into the earth. The wire mesh should help keep any cracks in the slab from spreading too much.
Thursday the plumbers started working on the radiant tubing for the first floor. The tubing was laid out in rows one foot apart. A loop was put outside the front door so that we can tie into it later and keep the porch heated and ice-free. We are really excited about the radiant heat. This was all inspected Thursday afternoon and ready for the pour on Friday.
On Friday the concrete crew for the flat work was there early to get ready for the pour at 9:00 a.m. First they snapped a level line for the top of the slab then put rebar dowels into the foundation walls to keep the slab from slipping in the event of settling. We did a lot of compacting and hope that settling won't be an issue. We couldn't really afford a pump truck for this pour, but fortunately there was room for the concrete truck along the south side of the house. We had a really good crew on the flat work and they worked quickly and efficiently to rake out and level out the concrete. As soon as we started to pour the wind really kicked up causing the concrete to set up a little faster than we would have liked, but with the power trowel, we were able to get a really smooth surface.
Saturday the slab guy came back to score the slab. Concrete slabs like ours have a tendency to crack. It's a pretty big area for a single slab and it is inside the foundation without anywhere to expand. This makes it pretty unpredictable and cracking is pretty much inevitable. By scoring the slab we hope to create a place for the slab to crack where it will be contained and unnoticeable. Like I said though, concrete is unpredictable and we had a few cracks overnight. One of them was pretty big right through the center of the house. I'm sure we grow to love our cracks here and there, and hope that we won't have many more.

The word "anticipation" will forever conjure up visions of a ketchup bottle in midair over something remarkably delicious. I think that Heinz was quite smart to use that particular song during the old days that we had to manage ketchup out of a glass bottle. You know...the pre-squeeze bottle era. Between us, I am glad that we are doing plastic bottles now...except for the fact that the bottles at restaurants are red and look full...but are almost always anything but. However, this is not exactly what is on my mind tonight.
I was thinking of all of the preparations that we have made this week for a house guest. A young man who attends Alabama with Jill and lives in Atlanta. Because of the three hour drive, he gets to come here and stay for a couple of days. Oh, assuming that she feels better, they'll likely drive down to Gulf Shores for the day on Saturday...so my hostess duties will primarily be tomorrow night.
We've been cleaning out and cleaning up.
Just some backstory on our house. We built it in 2001 on a five acre lot in the anti-metropolis of Pike Road, AL. Pike Road is located just out of Montgomery, and finds itself in constant lawsuits with the city of Montgomery for just who owns the rights to the Home Depot and Wal-Mart sales tax revenues. It's a long story...but Pike Road has residents that are determined to not live all over each other and just want to have the decent lives that people in small town America take for granted. This is certainly not what those who live in Montgomery have at this point in time and thus the split. Not that Montgomery is a bad place...it isn't. Not really. But anyway...
We have a three bedroom house with a study, and an open floor plan...which means that the kitchen, family room and dining room are all pretty much the same room. It's not a huge house, but we have 10 foot ceilings and wood floors and I like it very much. We have a pool and a pond out back that has real live fish in it. I just love to see it from my house since I don't fish. It's icky.
The house is filled with pieces from my grandmother's house and David's parents' house and sometimes the combination seems eclectic and wonderful and sometimes...not so much. But it's home.
Our style is pretty laid back. We are an eat outside, grill-loving, barefoot kind of house where it is not a huge deal if someone spills something or tracks in soaking wet from the pool. The neighborhood dog wanders in...and we don't really see this as a problem. We just love having people here, and we hope that they feel comfortable when they are our guests.
The problem is...every time we have overnight guests, we have to vacate our bedroom so that someone can stay in it since we do not have a formal guest room. Jill's room is currently housing last year's dorm room in addition to the normal items in there. Brian's room is...well...let's just say untidy. Actually, it borders on what we in the South call "nasty" in that he refuses to keep it neat...so clean is a distant dream. I don't mind being displaced, but it does tend to make people feel bad, and it is a hassle. Because my room currently looks like eBay threw up in it, I just cannot face the prospect of getting my act together on a timetable...and so I started thinking of alternatives.
So, because Jill needs a double bedfor her apartment next year (size constraints) and we're going to eventually get a headboard from storage, we went ahead and purchased her mattress. So, as we anticipate our house guest tomorrow, he will have a brand new bed in the study (with a newly cleaned bathroom)of his very own. Hassle factor? Low to moderate. We are also anticipating my sister's visit at the end of June...and now she will have use of the bed and bath so that if I don't get this room cleaned up...I won't feel like a total loser.
We've tried to anticipate what the weather will do, what they will do, what we will eat, and even what she will wear during this visit. We don't know if this young man will meet us and go, "um...waiter, check please" or not. We don't know if they will even be speaking to each other two weeks from now. We don't know if the visit will be very fun or a dud. None of that really matters, though. Right now, we're just anticipating his arrival.
The fun is the anticipation. Meeting someone new...welcoming loved ones home...preparing to move into the first apartment. All of these are ahead of us (or so we hope). As long as we have something to look forward to...most of us can deal with the little annoyances of life. Vacations, weddings, new babies, graduations, reunions, or visits are what keep us going sometimes. They are markers in our lives.
So, here's to anticipation. The positive kind. Like something absolutely delicious is about to happen. And even if it doesn't...that really doesn't spoil the fun of what I'm feeling right now...anticipating the unknown. Oh well...here's hoping it does turn out wonderful just the same...Later!

Blues – but not only blues, a smattering of Buck Owen, Beatles, 60's rock and roll and even Johnny Cash – that's what Jim Byrnes shared last night at our local Art Council concert. He was fabulous, and we enjoyed an evening of great music and some laughs.
And his lead guitarist was fascinating to watch as his fingers played those strings like they were a keyboard – wonderful!
Born in the US, Jim is now a Canadian icon and apparently enjoys live performances, so you may find him in your area at any time. If you're looking for a good concert, watch for Jim Byrnes – you'll be in for a good time!
Happy happy entertainment! Blessings, Peg

Happy New Year to all!
I thought I would start 2010 with a new template. Although I did leave the snow behind in 2009, I like the winter theme. Winter scenes always seem so peaceful, fresh and calming. This one reminds me of an Ansel Adams photograph.
As far as resolutions, I don't do them. I just try to live my life the best way I know how. My life is about new beginnings, new city, new job and hopefully a new house. So for me, 2010 is not only a new decade, but a new beginning. But, I guess if I wanted to do something different for 2010, I would try to live with more goodness in my life. Meaning, doing things that are good for me or make me happy.
OK, so that's kind of a broad concept. But, if you think about it, when we structure ourselves so rigidly by saying "I am going to do "X", I think we get the mindset of "I have to do "X". Now, I am not saying you should not have give "X" a name, but we become so rigid, that by March, we leave "X" behind because it was too hard.
I am planning to get back on the workout routine, my "X" if you will. But, rather than say "I am going to workout so many days a week or lose so many pounds, I am going to go back to what worked before, create a plan and take baby steps to reach small attainable goals. I mentioned in this post about making a conscious choice about how I spend my time. I am doing much better at the doing the things I want to, rather than focusing on the things I have to do.
Anyway, I hope 2010 brings you all your hopes and dreams. And I sure as hell hope that 2010 is better than all the crapola we had to deal with in 2009. I think we all could use some goodness.
Another Year Over, And A New One Just Begun
Happy New Year to all!

When I reached my one year anniversary I had a few thoughts for what would be a good goal for the up coming year. I really wanted to increase my readership, I hoped to maybe garner some more attention from people in the beer industry, and I wanted to try to make some beer trades to increase the range of beer I had to review from. Thanks to MeganvsBeer, I've finally managed to successfully complete my first cross-country beer exchange. Having never done this before, I wasn't really sure how much to get together to send out; therefore, I tried to gather up a really good sampling of some standard and rare offerings from the Washington DC area. All together I boxed up 6 big bottles and three 12 oz bottles for her to sample. I then eagerly awaited my supply from her. I received the package and immediately tore into it. One of the hardest beer decisions I've had to make in a while was figuring out what to review first. Ultimately I went with the brewery I've been most interested in trying for a little while now.
I've never seen anything from Hair of the Dog offered here on the east coast. I haven't necessarily hit up the entire east coast, but I do check a lot of places from NYC to Virginia for stuff that I've never had before. That's a fair sampling. Anyway, seeing this little 12 oz bottle right on top of the box, I was very interested in getting to taste a brew from an establishment I've been hearing about for a while now. Hair of the Dog specializes in bottle conditioned beers that can be improved with age. If I were able to find more of their beers, I might be capable of waiting to drink their stuff, but I wasn't allowing any time for this one to age.
This particular bottle is an old ale. I've reviewed a few different old ales on here before. I don't think I've found one I've fallen in love with yet, but I'm alright with finding a new love. The side of this bottle describes this brew as having the flavors of chocolate, figs, leather, and smoke. I have a feeling there are a few people who would be put off by the thought of drinking something that tasted like smoke and leather, but I assure you, it's actually pretty good.
This brew pours out a rich dark black espresso color. There is ton of ample tannish brown head that develops on top. Swirling the glass displays a ton of lacing and a nice amount of sticky residue leftover on the glass as well. Clearly the beer is a little too dark to get a real feel for the clarity; however, you do see a little bit of the carbonation activity on the top of the beer when you swirl it.
The aroma has a ton of really sweet and malty smells. The malts have a lot of big fig and dark red fruit scents to them. There is also a lot of smokey smell here, and you get some very big chocolate as well. I don't really get a ton of hops here at all; however, I do get a lot of booze.
While the aromas are quite significant, you really get a lot of big bold flavors on the taste. The really sweet malts kick off the flavor profile with a ton of huge fig and raisin flavors. There is actually a yeast flavor that mixes in here. I feel like it has that strong Belgian yeast flavor to it, but I know it isn't a Belgian ale at all. From there, the big bold fig flavor picks back up and there is a huge amount of sweet brown sugar and molasses that kicks in as well. There really is a lot of smoke on the finish; however, you also get a huge hit of booze on the finish as well. The booze lingers for a quite a while on the lingering sweet fig aftertaste.
The mouthfeel starts with a quick little syrupy sweet introduction. There is a nice building of the carbonation throughout the better portion of the beer; however, the carbonation begins to disappear at the end as the big booze punch comes in. There are a lot of big flavors in here that make this a delicious brew.
I wish I could find a few more bottles of Hair of the Dog around here. I would really like to see what this one would do with a little bit of age. Plus they make it with a barrel aged variance as well. I'm pretty certain it's delicious. If you happen to find something from Hair of the Dog around you, then you certainly need to pick it up. You'll really be rewarding yourself. Now I've got a few more bottles of beer from Oregon to work through.

Since many of the people who look at my sight are deaf or hard of hearing, I would have loved to see captions, or annotations, on this video on Funny or Die, Don LaFontaine Tribute
. Don LaFontaine was the narrator in reportedly 5,000 or more movie trailers and videos, a Geico commercial, and recently passed away. This video does some short clips, mostly saying things like "In a world where….". You'll recognized many movies.
However, Funny or Die has no captions, and has aggressively removed videos from YouTube, which would allow me to caption it.
This site, founded in part by Will Ferrell, has many videos worth watching, is gaining steam and winning awards.
Feel free to mention it to them, if you are interested. I did.

Shey had his first dentist appointment this morning. Peyton didn't go till he was 3, but I had noticed some spots on Shey's front teeth that I thought I should have checked out. Actually, if I am going to be honest, I noticed his teeth were yucky a few months ago, but I didn't want to take him in too young and tramatize him. I try and brush his teeth, but he wants to do it himself and I have to fight him to get it done. I should have tried harder though because now he has three cavities and two teeth that can get there very quickly if I don't step up the brushing.
This means on his next visit, they will sedate him, then strap him down and bond the front two teeth and fill the one to the right. This is just going to suck.

For a longer post later. Babysat our friends' daughter tonight so they could go out to celebrate the mom's birthday. :)
Can't get my computer to cooperate & upload the pics, so those'll wait. Got my package from the swap today & had lots of fun goodies! Also got baby shoes in the mail that I hope will fit Amber in May for Paul's cousin's wedding & my sister's graduation.
So, pics of Easter, pics of my swap, pics of baby shoes & the dresses for those events... one I got & one I made. :)
But, once again, it's bedtime! G'night!

Aliens, Wizards and Weirdos!
So I saw three movies in three weeks so I thought I would post my opinions on them all in one post. Enjoy!
Alien balls of light that can turn into giant alien robots take over
the world by stunning people and sucking them up into their ships.
Best scene:
Its hard to pick with so many brilliant scenes (sarcasm) but the
chase outside the building when the bellman saves the group from the giant
alien comes to mind.
Best laugh:
To tell you the truth I laughed at the scenes that were supposed
to be serious. I laughed when the dirty whore was jealous of the young whore
for cheating with the gangster rapper.
Best cry:
I cried because I paid full price for this film
Cheesiest part:
Everything from start to end. But the ending (which I will
not ruin for you) is the cheesiest. True love overcomes all, even brain
sucking aliens.
Due Date
A busy guy gets stuck with a not so busy guy on a roadtrip to reach
busy guy's wife in time for his baby's birth. Chaos ensues.
Best scene:
Lots of funny scenes but I quite enjoyed the scene in the car when busy guy is trying
to sleep. Not so busy guy starts doing something that helps him sleep. The dog joins in. Busy guy is not impressed.
Best laugh:
The whole movie was jokes but the Mexican border crossing is pretty dope(pun intended).
Best cry:
Washroom scene when not so busy guy cries about his dead father. The dog's face made me cry.
Cheesiest part:
Techically this whole movie is cheesy but in a good way.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 1
Harry and his amigos leave Hogwarts to search for the hoacrux, which are objects containing Voldamort's (oh shit I said his name) soul. Harry is wanted by the corrupt Ministry of magic and a fugitive on the run.
Best scene:
The battle in the sky between death eaters and Harry and the Order of the Pheonix. Pretty sweet effects and fast paced action.
Best laugh:
The akwardness between Ron and Hermione when Ron returns after abandoning them while hiding in the forest.
Best cry:
Definitely the loss of my favourite and beloved house elf. Atleast his death wasn't in vain.
Cheesiest part:
Great film and well done but the only cheesy part was the over-acting of the Malfoy family's fear of Voldemort (dang I did it again!). They need to relax.

Hi Oz, Merry Christmas! Long time no see. 🙂
I have yet to watch Due Date. I love Robert Downey Jr. so this is one of my must-rent videos.
Have you seen Tron? I want to watch the original version first before heading down to the theater. Can you write a review w/o too much spoiler? 😉
Thanks, and talk to you later. Say hi to everyone at OMP for me 🙂

Owah Tagu Siam
Daily chant time, folks! Say it with me now, Owah Tagu Siam… Owah Tagu Siam… Owah Tagu Siam… Owah Tagu Siam… Oh What a Goose I Am…. Yes! Oh What a Goose I Am, Indeed! My husband and I have taken a vow to remain goose-like. In fact, I think we should all be more like geese! Sit tight, folks, let me explain…
Did you know that Canada geese can teach us a lot about life? Well, if you are in their migratory path, you'll notice that each autumn the Canada geese fly south for the winter to escape some very frigid temperatures. Notice the V formation that they fly in, as this is not just by chance. It is simple physics that help us to understand why this V formation works; the goose in front takes on the main brunt of the air resistance, while the geese behind spend less of their energy by riding "on the tails" of the goose in front of them. The flock can fly about 70% farther with the same amount of energy exerted than if each goose few alone!
Ah, but watch the geese long enough and you'll sometimes see the lead goose falling to the back of the formation as the next one in line takes the lead. Brilliant! They take turns! In addition, these geese make the most beautiful "Honk, Honk, Honk" sound, and it's not merely music to my ears, it's motivational! The geese are continuously communicating with each other and "honking" to motivate the lead goose. Personally, I like to imaging that they are saying, "You can do it!", in their very best Waterboy voice!
I've always had an affinity for geese, although this morning really just reaffirmed my admiration for these creatures. As my husband was in the shower in morning, I sat in the bathroom reading aloud some statistics about sexual fantasies and how they are normal even in healthy and happy relationships. (Yeah, my husband and I are cool like that. It's all about preventing hedonic adaptation!) I was reading from a Huffington Post article that explained the survival theory of sexual fantasies, and was happily surprised to read that geese are the only species that pair only once during their lifetime. In fact, if one mate dies, the widow goose stays unmatched until death! (Although, the article, suggests that this is not the wisest way to go for keeping the Earth populated, thus the survival instinct of sexual fantasies about someone other than the primary partner. However, I disagree! Canada geese have kept themselves very well populated!) Well, I can relate to that. You see, my husband and I are sort of obsessed with each other. In fact, we have made a vow that we are going to defy our own words that we included in our vows "till death do us part". Yes, we have a pact: if my husband dies before I do, I will remain single; and if I die before my husband does, he will remain single, so there will be absolutely no question about who we will "be with" in the Heaven. (We LOVE being in LOVE!)
Now, back to my obsession with geese; they are also fiercely loyal. And by fierce, I mean FIERCE – the Merriam-Webster definition, as well as the Urban Dictionary definition #6. Don't get near their babies or their nest – OH NO! They will start hissing, and flapping their wings, and they will chase your a$$ down! Yes, that's sort of like me when someone tries to mess with my family! Ha! I'm that mean mama goose who will go crazy on your a$$! Ha!
I adopted an intense perspective of loyalty after reading one of my favorite books from one of my favorite women, Here If You Need Meby Kate Braestrup. In this book, Braestrup describes her immensely painful, yet transcending and transformational ordeal of having to identify her husband's remains, after he was killed in a car accident during a chase on an icy road (he was a Maine State Trooper), and the ensuing process of laying her husband to rest. It was at this point that she remembered her father's words, as he recalled his Marine motto, "Semper Fidelis" or "always faithful", as well as her promise to her husband after she read the book Death to Dust: What Happens to Dead Bodies?, by Kenneth V. Iserson, M.D.. Now, going back to before her husband died, Kate writes in her book Here If You Need Me, that after she read Iserson's book, which was a (wildly romantic) anniversary gift from her husband, Braestrup realized that we, as a society, have become so sanitary and so far removed from the process of death that we have become conditioned to leave the ugliness of death into the hands of others (And in my opinion, we have done the same thing with the beauty of child birth. Empower yourselves, women! Childbirth is wonderful! Embrace it! Don't allow doctors to dictate how you will experience childbirth! Although that's another post in itself.). Braestrup wrote that after she read the book, she called out to her husband, Drew, from her comfortable lawn chair, "Will you take care of my body when I die?", and his apt response was, "Sure, honey". After that commitment, Braestrup felt instantly more "like a Marine" she "felt distinctly braver", and it is this feeling of faithfulness which led to her firm desire to personally be responsible for washing and dressing her husband's lifeless and broken body, and then accompany her husband's body to the crematory, instead of leaving the task to the mortician.
As you might imagine, after I read this immensely moving story, I called out to my own husband as tears rolled down my cheeks and I sobbed, "Honey, will you take care of my body when I die"? Well, my husband didn't give me the quick, "Sure, honey" response. He came into the bedroom room where I was sitting up on our bed, gripping the book with one hand and wiping my eyes with a tissue with the other, and he said, "WHAT?!". Needless to say, after I read to him the moving excerpt about Kate and her experience, he looked at me with tears in his own eyes, and said, "Of course".
So, that's our story of how we adopted the motto "Semper Fidelis" into our relationship. Always faithful. Just like the geese who, when one is tired or ill or dying, will be accompanied by another goose, while the others continue on their journey, for as long as the goose needs to recuperate or die in the presence of a loved one, rather than all alone. Yes, my husband and I are geese. Emotional, loving, passionate, teary-eyed geese, which are fiercely loyal to each other and to our family, but most of all to God.
By the way, my dear readers, did you know that my husband and I had an arranged marriage? As you may, or may not know, my husband is from India and I am Irish and Polish, with a wee bit of Scottish. Although it is neither our nationalities nor our customs that have anything to do with our arranged union. Yes, well, I was telling this to a friend the other day. I told him, "Yeah, my husband and I have an arranged marriage. My Father arranged it all." My friend, knowing my and my husband's background, responded in utter shock, "YOUR father arranged YOUR marriage?!!! NO WAY!!!" And I was like, "Seriously, my Father did! YAHWEH!!!" Ba dum tssshh!
Moral of this blog post? Be more like Canada geese. Love each other more intensely. Encourage each other. Support each other. Lift each other up. Be eternally faithful to each other. Not only to your spouses and loved ones, but to all of humanity! BE HAPPY!!!

Decided: August 27, 1938.
GO-LIT REALTY COMPANY, OF NEW JERSEY, RELATOR,v.THE CITY OF JERSEY CITY, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, AND JOSEPH J. MCGURK, RESPONDENTS
On mandamus.
For the relator, Leo S. Sullivan (Donald M. Waesche, of counsel).
For the respondents, James A. Hamill (Frank P. McCarthy, of counsel).
Before Brogan, Chief Justice, and Justices Bodine and Heher.
[120 NJL Page 593]
The relator, seeking cancellation of certain taxes for 1935 and 1936, was awarded an alternative writ of mandamus. The respondents filed a return to which relator demurs. From the pleadings the following facts indisputably appear.
On January 7th, 1937, the relator, having contracted to purchase lots D and 5, block 280, on the official assessment map of Jersey City, applied for and received, after the payment of the required fee, an official tax search which certified that there were no unpaid taxes or assessments or other municipal liens upon the aforesaid premises. Relying upon the said search, the relator purchased the said premises. Subsequently the city claimed a lien for some unpaid taxes for the year 1935, and it also appears that there is still pending an undetermined tax appeal from the assessment for the year 1936. The assessments laid upon the property were reduced by the county board of taxation. The taxing authority appealed to the State Tax Board seeking a reversal of the judgment of the county board and a reinstatement of the assessment originally laid.
The statute (Rev. Stat. 54:5-17) provides that "a person who shall acquire for a valuable consideration an interest in lands covered by an official tax search, in reliance on that search, shall hold such interest free from any municipal lien held by the municipality not shown on that search."
The position taken by the taxing authority is that the assessment levied against the property in question for the year 1935 and 1936, was reduced by the county tax board; that the assessment as reduced was corrected on the official tax books; that these taxes representing the reduced assessments were paid; that thereafter the taxing authority appealed the judgment of the county board to the State Board of Tax Appeals, and that therefore there were no municipal liens for those taxes open on the city's tax books on January 7th, 1937, when the official tax search was given to the relator, who subsequently, on January 18th, purchased the said property.
[120 NJL Page 594]
We think the position taken by the respondents is too narrow and that the relator was entitled to be apprised, in the search which was returned by the taxing authority, of the fact that the assessment, as reduced by the county board, was challenged by the taxing authority and that an appeal had been or was about to be taken.
The legislative intent in passing the statute mentioned above certainly was to provide that the certification as to outstanding liens was one on which the intending purchaser might act with safety. It was the duty of the respondents to state the situation on the search and that the judgment reducing the assessment was under appeal or was shortly to be taken up on appeal.
A peremptory mandamus is ...

A noisier and less melodic (at least IMHO) version of its also resident cousin, the California Thrasher, the Northern Mockingbird is a common denizen of urban areas, woodlands, and farms. Per the Kaufman Focus Guide, "Often seen running on lawns, stopping to spread its wings abruptly. Eats mostly insects in summer, also many berries in winter. May sing all night on moonlit nights...Repeats a short phrase over and over, then switches to a different phrase, on and on, often including imitations of birds or other sounds. Sometimes leaps into the air and flutters back down while singing." Well, even though I really do love these guys, all that so-called singing could drive you batty and ape shit after a couple of nonstop hours. Just sayin. Thank God for double-paned windows.

|I THINK that I shall never see
|A poem lovely as a tree.
|A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
|Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;
|A tree that looks at God all day,
|And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
|A tree that may in summer wear
|A nest of robins in her hair;
|Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
|Who intimately lives with rain.
|Poems are made by fools like me,
|But only God can make a tree.
--Joyce Kilmer
I wonder what lives inside?
An Acorn Woodpecker?
Maybe an Owl?
It could be a Squirrel.
It's too far up for me to climb,
so I think I'll have to wait and see.

Award Winning Tamales Just Five Blocks from My House!
Five Wounds neighborhood yesterday, my friend and I discovered a tamale factory on S. 28th St. We went into the lobby and noticed a small window (closed), a menu and a button to ring for service. It was still pretty early in the morning for tamales so I went back today. Turns out El Azteca Mexican Foods is celebrating 50 years of being in the tamale business.
I served everything with the tasty chile relleno sauce for an extraordinary lunch.

Beef Tacos
I seriously have been stuck on Mexican food lately. Or Tex-Mex as the case may be, since I sincerely doubt what I call Mexican is actually served in Mexico. I had some beef thawed out in the refridgerator that I wanted to use for tonight. I asked John what he wanted for dinner and he said beef tacos. Fine by me and super easy. Since I had run out of Taco Seasoning packets, I had to season the hamburger myself. Here is my version.
Beef Tacos
1/2 lb of hamburger meat
1/2 onion finely chopped
2 cloves of chopped garlic
2 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp oregano
1 tsp chili powder
salt & pepper to taste
4 corn tortillas
chopped lettuce
black olives
sour cream
mexican cheese
In a skillet over medium high heat, sautè the chopped onion until it starts to caramelize. Add garlic and the ground hamburger meat and continue cooking until almost all of the pink is out of the meat. Add the tomato paste and seasonings. Continue cooking until there is no more pink. Serve over corn tortillas and whatever toppings you prefer. If you have a gas stove, turn the burner on low and place a tortilla directly over the burner. With tongs, slide it around the flame. This is a yummy way to warm your tortillas. Gives a nice toasty flavor and keeps them soft. Serves 2, but easily doubled.

Why I Love My Pastor #82
Bishop Marvin is an awesome anointed man of God who loves God and is on fire for him 24/7. He has a heart and burden for the lost, and to reach those he can with the gospel of Christ. The church started in 1991 with 10 members to approximately 400 members and is presently serving most of the county through food, clothing, evangelism, and counseling whenever and wherever needed. I've seen a heart of a pastor in him like never before, and I know God is using him in a mighty way. -John

Getting a break
Well it looks like we will be getting a much needed break and will be heading home for a week or two on Monday! We will need to check in with the clinic a few times over our home stay but we are not complaining one bit. She also will not be connected to anything that drips, beeps, bonks or honks outside of some periodic overnight potasium spiked fluids. Becca is very very happy about going home and getting to see Lily and Mommy more. She will still be quite limited as to what she can do, we look at as a risk/benefit equation when selecting things to do and places to go. One little infection or slight fever and we are back in the box faster than you can say "pudding pants".// We are getting home nursing again and all the gear that comes along with it. Last time we donated several large boxes of our surplus medical supplies to Mathew:25 Ministries for the Hatians. Lets just say that the massive first aid kit that I carry on trips is capable of allowing for a wide variety of sterile operations and procedures.//

Oh my!!! Love, love, love these shots! What a sweet baby girl. We are thrilled for you guys.
When I went to install my show at the local gallery (which I mentioned before and will give more details about soon), I took a moment to check out the other artists' work. One particular photographer, Ali Mocabee, caught my eye, so I went to her website and browsed around for a bit. I saw a link on her blog that said to add her in facebook, so I did.
A few days later, after we had had the baby, I got an email from her asking if she could come play with our baby. She was wanting to try out some natural lighting techniques she had learned but that couldn't really be practiced without a model (i.e., a fresh, sleepy baby). We had the baby and love pictures, so we said yes!
She came over yesterday and brought a really fun bag of toys that we got to break out and play with for a couple of hours. Cate was a great model and slept almost the whole time. Except for when she pooped in my hand (don't worry…I caught it all. Nothing got on the floor). Ali and I both shot a ton and I'm really happy with both what I got in the camera and with the whole experience and practice.
Michelle wouldn't let me go to sleep tonight until I edited at least a couple of her favorites, so here you go!
Ali brought this AWESOME pink petticoat that we bunched up and used as a cushion for Cate. I love this series.
This last one was so yummy, I had to serve it up in two flavors!
If this just whets your appetite, don't worry! There are plenty more to come!

CA over at WRSA has a few thoughts to consider.Take the time to reflect on the truth of the matter.
The cost of Liberty has always been the same.
Lives,Fortunes,and Sacred Honor comes to my mind.
If that is too much of a price to pay,then the fight isn't worth fighting.
If you decide that fight is worth having,you WILL be considered a murderer,terrorist,outlaw,traitor,etc.
Your friends,family,and associates will pay a price as well.
It has always been so.We should expect nothing less.
You will be vilified,maligned,made out to be a bloodthirsty baby-raper.Or worse.
Count on it.
If you choose not to decide,you still have made a choice.
There is a price to pay either way.
