I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day. Thank you for being a loyal subscriber and reader of Melissa's Musings.
On May 30th we honor veterans since they have risked their lives for our safety and security. Ask any grade school child what Memorial Day is all about and you will be deeply sadden. I was… I asked a few of the children my girls know who attend public school, just what Memorial Day is celebrating. These are the answers I received:
- Fireworks
- picnic's
- A day off work
- The beach
Not quite the response I was hoping for. I purposely did not ask my girls. But, someone just yesterday asked my oldest daughter who we honored on Memorial Day. Her response was the people who have and are fighting for our freedom. I was proud.
Dear Lord, I pray that you would be with all those who are in active and inactive service. Surround them and protect them and lead them in safety. Thank You Lord, Amen.
Have a safe and Happy Day, Until Next Time,

Hi! just a quick post of all my hair progress pictures so far. Later I'll post a tutorial but I thought this would be a good way to lay out the pictures instead of going to each post to look at the pictures.
1 month after getting it cut and my starting point
3 month update
5 month haircut update
6 month update (1 month after haircut update)
Please excuse my no makeup picture.
As you can see I've come a ways since I started but my hair still isn't as long as I would like. Usually my hair grows really fast during the summer so hopefully my 9 month update I have more dramatic result. Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed this post and I'll post a tutorial later.(: Thank you for reading.

Here at Lazy Bee Farm we have many kinds of entertainment. But, one of my favorite things to watch is my son and and the calf play tag.
John helps me feed the critters, some days, and he and the calf Copper have developed quite a game of tag. It goes like this:
John goes through the fence gate and calls Copper from the upper pasture.
Copper runs to meet him, but stops short of coming all the way to him.
John squats and slips toward Copper.
Copper takes a half step back, tosses his head, lows, and shakes his head at John.
John steps closer and grabs Copper's horns. Tag!
Copper wrestles with John, finally escapes, and trots away from him. Tag!
John gives chase with Copper stopping to make sure John is chasing him.
They run all the way to the top of the pasture.
John catches Copper. Tag!
Then, John runs back to the hay rack while Copper chases him. Tag!
By this time I am nearly on the ground because I am laughing so hard! However, the goats find this demeaning for the calf; I find it better than TV.

Ellie 2nd Bday
My kids were being EXTREMELY facetious, and I didn't get a single pretty girl second birthday shot. It went like this: went to Balboa, lost kids inside museums, fed our picnic to seagulls, took pics of wild animals as they were running away, licked the frosting off the tops of ice-cream-cone-cupcakes that I baked at 6am.
So, these pics will have to suffice. It has been a rough one.
Still, those Wild Things sure are cute.

Fengshui: Market likely to be slow, might gain strength second half of week
Financial Astrology: Will the decline start this week?
Technical Analysis: US indices – might decline Monday, might start next wave done.
A fairly large schedule of potential market moving economic reports this week: Consumer confidence (28 April), FOMC (28/29 April), Q1 GDP (29 April), Weekly Jobless Claims ( 30 April).
One astro expert said avoid trading on April 29, 2009. Hmmm... wonder what might happen?
Then there is another planet retrograding next week. This planet is known to have negative influence on the stock market. Would it's scheduled retrograde start its negative power this week?
Then there is the swine flu wave!

I have written in various posts that actress Angel Locsin is the most beautiful woman in the universe. This conviction is somewhat being shaken after I have watched intermittently several episodes of a game show hosted by Valenzuela City councilor Shalani Soledad and Willie Revillame. In the past few days, during commercial breaks of the early evening news programs I watch (Channel 7, Channel 2, CNN and BBC), I have switched the television to Channel 5 simply to watch Shalani.
Shalani first came to public attention before the May 2010 elections when news stories reported that she was the girlfriend of then presidential candidate Noynoy Aquino. (One website alleges that Shalani's mother died when she was young, her biological father is a well-known banker, and the persons she has come to know as parents are her uncle and aunt.) A few short months after the elections, however, we have come to know of the breakup of their relationship. Cyberspace has been filled with stories, rumors, etc. about the reasons for the breakup; both Shalani and PNoy however have kept silent about the issue.
Love must be tough
During the game show, Willie would oftentimes tease Shalani about her broken relationship. It is amazing to watch how calm Shalani is during these times. I don't know if Shalani has ever read Dr. James Dobson's bestselling and award-winning book "Love Must Be Tough". If she hasn't read this book which has sold three million copies as of this date, I highly encourage her (and other single guys and girls out there) to read it. This book discusses primarily the tough love approach to marital infidelity but the chapter titled "Loving Toughness for Singles" deals with sixteen suggestions on romantic relationships for single men and women.
(Dr. Dobson is the founder of the "Focus on the Family" ministry. I first came to know about Dr. Dobson in 1981 or 1982 when I read his book "Dare to Discipline". I was then a brand new English teacher in Dona Aurora High School in San Mateo, Rizal. Since that time, this book has sold more than three million copies.
One other book by Dr. Dobson I have read and which you might be interested in is "What Wives Wish Their Husbands Knew About Women". More than two million copies of this book have been sold. Dr. Dobson's opening words in this book "Women have needs that men do not understand" really jolted me. Dr. Dobson, for example, says that men do not know what women go through during menstruation or pregnancy.)
Sixteen suggestions for single men and women on loving toughness
The basic principles in human relationships, according to Dr. Dobson, are:
[1] "It is of highest priority to maintain a distinct element of dignity and self-respect in all romantic encounters."In the chapter titled "Loving Toughness for Singles", Dr. Dobson enumerates sixteen suggestions that will help singles to "conform to the principles of loving toughness in matters of the heart." You can read online the complete suggestions part 1 and part 2 from the Arcamax website. Ever since I read this book eight or nine years ago, the suggestion that has really stuck in my mind is no. 11 which states: "Don't marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you cannot live without." The suggestions that apply to Shalani in her situation right now are numbers 6 and 7. Well, here are Dr. Dobson's suggestions:
[2] "We value that which we are fortunate to get; we discredit that which we are stuck."
1. Don't let a relationship move too fast in its infancy. The phrase "too hot not to cool down" has validity. Romantic affairs that begin in a frenzy frequently burn themselves out. Take it one step at a time. (Note: Please read my post "Love Potion No. 9".)So, who do I think now is the most beautiful woman in the universe - Angel Locsin or Shalani Soledad? Hmm, let me watch Shalani's show tonight and then I will let you know ...
2. Don't discuss your personal inadequacies and flaws in great detail when the relationship is new.
3. Remember that respect precedes love. Build it stone upon stone.
4. Don't call too often on the phone or give the other person an opportunity to get tired of you.
5. Don't be too quick to reveal your desire to get married -- or that you think you've just found Mr. Wonderful or Miss Marvelous. If your partner has not arrived at the same conclusion, you'll throw him or her into panic.
6. Most important: Relationships are constantly being "tested" by cautious lovers who like to nibble at the bait before swallowing the hook. This testing procedure takes many forms, but it usually involves pulling back from the other person to see what will happen. Perhaps a foolish fight is initiated. Maybe two weeks will pass without a phone call. Or sometimes flirtation occurs with a rival.
In each instance, the question being asked is, "How important am I to you, and what would you do if you lost me?" An even more basic issue lies below that one: "How free am I to leave if I want to?" It is incredibly important in these instances to appear poised, secure and equally independent. Do not grasp the other person and beg for mercy. Some people remain single throughout life because they cannot resist the temptation to grovel when the test occurs.
7. Extending the same concept, keep in mind that virtually every dating relationship that continues for a year or more and seems to be moving toward marriage will be given the ultimate test. A breakup will occur, motivated by only one of the lovers. The rejected individual should know that their future together depends on the skill with which he or she handles that crisis. If the hurting individual can remain calm, the next two steps may be reconciliation and marriage. It often happens that way. If not, then no amount of pleading will change anything.
8. Do not depend entirely upon each other for the satisfaction of every emotional need.
9. Guard against selfishness in your love affair.
10. Beware of blindness to obvious warning signs that tell you that your potential husband or wife is basically disloyal, hateful, spiritually uncommitted, hooked on drugs or alcohol, given to selfishness, etc.
11. Don't marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you cannot live without.
12. Beginning early in the dating relationship, treat the other person with respect and expect the same in return.
13. Do not equate human worth with flawless beauty or handsomeness!
14. If genuine love has escaped you thus far, don't begin believing that "no one would ever want me." That is a deadly trap that can destroy you emotionally! Millions of people are looking for someone to love. The problem is finding one another! (Note: Please read my post "The One and Only [2]")
15. Regardless of how brilliant the love affair has been, take time to "check your assumptions" with your partner before committing yourself to marriage.
16. Sexual familiarity can be deadly to a relationship. In addition to the many moral, spiritual and physical reasons for remaining virgins until marriage, there are numerous psychological and interpersonal advantages as well. Though it's an old-fashioned notion, perhaps, it is still true that men do not respect "easy" women and often become bored with those who have held nothing in reserve. Likewise, women often disrespect men who have only one thing on their minds. Both sexes need to remember how to use a very ancient word. It's pronounced "NO!"

Then I spotted the Turkey Vultures and wondered if they knew I was out of water and still 30 miles to go!
I need to remember that Western Texas has few watering holes and 100 miles between services on the backroads is common.
The first White Tail Deer I managed to photograph!
Near the Bush Ranch I spotted this entrance!
Then this....
Eventually I limped into Eldorado and headed for the nearest motel to get my head down and rest.
I was met as I was opening my door by a very distressed young lady. She had just been dropped off at the motel by a church organisation who were picking up the tab for her nights stay as she only had $5 to her name and virtually the clothes she stood in. Her story is the most incredible one I have ever heard in all my life. It was such an amazing tale that I had to get her to repeat what she had told me on tape.
If I only believed half of what she had been through it would still be too distressing for me to write about it at this moment as I would like other opinions first. Suffice to say that the police should be involved in he details but she is too afraid to talk to anyone for fear of it getting back to those she is trying to escape from.
I have put safeguards in place and have made copies of her story so I can find a way of dealing with it upon my return to Portugal.
That night I ended up watching the outside area and being prepared for those that might want to harm her but the important thing was to reassure her that they would not be able to trace her at this early stage.

Hip joint anatomy virtual and stereolithographic reconstruction for preoperative planning of total hip replacement
De Momi, E., Pavan, E., Motyl, B., Bandera, C., Frigo, C.
DOI: 10.1016/j.ics.2005.03.055
The purpose of the present work was to develop a tool for preoperatively planning the Total Hip Replacement (THR). Starting from the MR images, the 3D surface model of both the pelvis and the femur was built and the surgical operation was virtually performed. Data coming from gait analysis were added to visualize the physiologic movement of the hip joint. The resulting triangular mesh was sufficiently accurate to allow the building of the stereolithographic model of the joint by means of rapid prototyping technique. The plastic bones allow the user to have an enhanced vision of the surgical procedure to be performed.

The medicinal factor of gingerroot isn't mentioned in the book. Most of us know to reach for ginger ale when we have a slightly upset stomach. Many people take crystallized ginger (purchased from the spice section at grocery stores) on cruises to prevent sea sickness. Therefore, ginger not only adds flavor to recipes; it's good for us.

My 15-year-old daughter has lived between my house and her father's since she was two. He has her every second weekend and Wednesdays. She's never really been keen to spend time with him, until now. Suddenly, she wants to live with him 50/50 and I'm worried about it. He is aloof, highly critical and focuses most of his attention on work and his new family. Do I let her make this choice and see for herself how it might go, or encourage her to keep the arrangement as is?
Divorced Debbie, Burnaby
My son decided to do the same thing at around the same age as your daughter. He lived with his dad for just seven weeks and found out quickly that the 'dream' of how great it would be wasn't reality at all. Let your daughter try it out. Either way, it should now be her choice.
Jen, Vancouver
You can't take this decision personally. If his relationship with her isn't strong, odds are she's trying to repair the split in their attachment. Ask if he'd be willing to join her in counselling so he can better understand what she needs from him.
Caring Grandma, Delta
At the age of 15, your daughter has a right to say with which parent she would rather live. So as long as there is no court order saying she cannot live with her dad she can decide to do it.
Geoff, Richmond
It's a painful reality, many children feel they have to choose between the homes of two people they love and rely on. It's for this reason courts take the decision out of the child's hands — mitigating its damaging psychological effects.
And while they rightly take into consideration the opinion of children (particularly older ones), there are many factors to consider, a parents' mental health stability, support systems, criminal history and overall ability to meet the child's needs.
In my experience, the life of a teenager is in constant flux, and this will be one of many times to hold steady while you help your daughter navigate through her place in the world.
First, get curious. Your daughter may hope for a better bond with her dad, a home with less rules or maybe asserting counter-will, after all, a desire to do things differently than mom is right on track developmentally. If he is indeed highly critical, it's likely she has a desire to feel accepted by him, in which case counselling is certainly in order.
A good therapist can help him understand her need for father-daughter attachment, even during this time of individuation.
If you feel that changing homes for a greater length of time is a mistake, by all means let her know the reasons why — but ensure you're keeping your personal history and feelings about your ex in check.
In the life of a teenager whose parents live apart, dramas can more easily unfold. Your child may leave, come back, and then leave again. Your role remains the same throughout, being there to listen, guide and hold a safe harbour for them to come back to.
We've had a terrible tragedy in our family — my son-in-law's father committed suicide a few weeks ago (he lived in another city). I'm worried about my grandchildren and how this is handled with them. They are 6 and 11, too young to be burdened with something like this. My daughter wants to be honest with them about how he died and their dad wants to remain vague, but the eldest is asking detailed questions. Can you help?
Grieving Grandma, West Vancouver

Writing is a solitary endeavor, but does it have to be a lonely one? Absolutely not. In fact, it's beneficial for writers to interact with other authors in order to exchange information, market their work, and build their readership. It literally pays for authors to be social.
While attending the weekly Business Professionals Meeting at Ivy Tech in Peru, I learned some advice on social networking that I thought applied to writers, not just business owners. And I'm going to share it with you!
Use Social Media to Connect with Authors, Editors, Agents, & Readers
Social networking doesn't just happen in the "real world." It happens wherever people interact. One of the most popular places people go to hangout is online. You already use Facebook and Twitter to stay connected with family and friends, so why not use these social media sites to meet other authors and new readers? There are hundreds, if not thousands, of them online. You can interact with others via private message or by replying to their posts. Sharing other people's content is another great way to interact. Once you build a positive rapport, they will be more receptive to your marketing messages or requests for help.
Attend as Many "Real World" Events as Possible
Writers conferences, book fairs, local readings, book launches, and library events are great opportunities to network with authors and readers. Plus, they're educational. Just keep in mind, it's not about selling; it's about making friends, and building a readership.
Bring Marketing Material
I always take a stack of business cards and/or bookmarks with me to events. In fact, I keep a stack of each in my car just in case I run into a new friend. That way, they have links to my social media sites and a reminder that we met. Let's face it, no matter how cool you are, people get busy and might forget you. A bookmark is a great reminder.
Follow up
Meeting someone at a networking event or following someone online is just the first step in beginning a relationship. Take those business cards home and send an email, connect on Twitter, or send an invite for coffee or lunch. Main point: stay in touch. And be patient. I once knew a prospective reader one year before they finally bought a copy of my book. It only took 3 touches. They say a sale can take 7, so that's pretty good.
Give a Little More than You Take
I am reminded of a really corny song from Dreamwork's animated feature Joseph, King of Dreams. Whereas the song had nothing to do with the events in the movie, it applies greatly to networking. The most successful authors are the ones who give advice and promote others. Why? Because helping others encourages them to help you.
Give it Time
Take your time and grow your network organically. No fertilizer. Don't be tempted to buy followers in order to reach your goal overnight. The most successful authors get to know their contacts one person at a time via small events and private chat. Remember, it's quality over quantity.
I hope you found this advice as helpful as I did. Please feel free to share your own advice in the comments below. Have a great week!

While the Federal Government has attempted to sidestep the issue of compensation for the Stolen Generations, Aboriginal academics Boni Robertson and Gracelyn Smallwood yesterday upped the ante, saying it should be much higher than the $1 billion suggested by lawyer Michael Mansell.The last sentence is just bollocks - 'you were mean to me in primary school - the only way you can prove you're sorry is give me pots of money'.
Professor Robertson said $1billion was "really quite minimal" and "just a starting point", while Ms Smallwood said it would be "very generous to the Government" and should be double or triple that amount.
"It's very simple," Ms Smallwood told The Australian. "You can't just apologise, you've got to mean it and the only way to prove that is through compensation. You can't reconcile without it."
But the anger of the 'stolen generation' is real enough to ask why it has continued through out these peoples' adult lives.
The clue is in Piers Ackerman's column today:
Mrs Lowitja (formerly Lois) O'Donoghue, a patron of the Stolen Generations Alliance (along with former prime minister Malcolm Fraser) was not stolen and nor was the late Charles Perkins, who was also hailed as a representative of this near mythical group.It would seem that the 'stolen generation' suffers from misdirected anger.
Ms O'Donoghue used to claim she had been stolen but admitted to my colleague
Andrew Bolt six years ago that her white father had dumped first his eldest two children, Eileen and Geoff, at a missionary-run home for abandoned and sick Aboriginal children in Quorn, South Australia, and come back years later with three more, including Lois, who never saw him again.
"He wanted to move on," Ms O'Donoghue told Bolt.
They are angry and justifiably so but the reason is that many (if not most) of these people were actually abandoned by their parents.
And for anyone it is a devastating realisation to believe (rightly or wrongly) that your parents don't want you.
Unfortunately, compounding this psychological distress is years of increased intervention of government agencies to create crippling welfare dependence.
Done to help make up for the unfashionable concept of integration of previous generations, this unwittingly lead to the emotional transference from actual parents to the state as parent.
This has resulted in demand for the Government (and by extension the entire non-aboriginal Australian population) to apologise and to make amends.
What the 'stolen generation' actually needs is to be angry at their parents for abandoning them and not giving them the best possible start to life.
Sadly, these people are either dead, unknown or in some cases the 'stolen generation' cannot bear the fact that their own parents were to blame, so the anger of these people has been transferred to another parent - the Australian taxpayer.
However, as a counsellor will tell you, a person cannot begin to receive emotional/psychological healing until they acknowledge the facts and unconditionally forgive the other party.
What is means for those of us (taxpayers) looking down the barrel of a $1 billion-plus punishment is that no exquisitely expressed apology will be enough. $1 billion will not be enough.
The 'stolen generation' really want to rail at their parents who abandoned them but they cannot.
Unfortunately that means many more generations of Aboriginal children will suffer as the young gang rape victim, because of this misdirected rage and misplaced welfare dependence that leaves people in these communities in a physical and psychological infantilised state.
-- Nora

Re: John Leggett of Bladen Co NC
In reply to:
Re: John Leggett of Bladen Co NC
Preston Leggitt 3/02/11
There are many John Leggett's, Legate's, etc. in early history of the United States.In order to sort them out somewhat, I kept the historical gleanings by name; by date, and in family tree.Here is a NAME STUDY of the name JOHN LEGGETT:
1448. Master JOHN LEGAT had a safe conduct to pass to Rome.(Bain IV,911, 15,1206)
bib 41.
1591. JOHN LEGGAT listed as Baxter and Burgess of Stirling, Scotland. bib 41.
Kingbury's Records of the Virginia Company 3:34-39, show a JOHN LEGATE, "Citizen
of the City of London", a title showing he was a prominent citizen, was a member of the Virginia Company in 1610 and as late as Nov. 25, 1612.Bib 47-119. (See 1645)
The Virginia Companies were 2 interrelated groups of English merchant-adventurers, one from Plymouth and the other from London, which received charters simultaneously fromKing James I in 1606 for the promotion of trade and colonization in north America.
(1.)The Plymouth Company, (also called the Virginia Company of Plymouth), superseded in 1620 by the Council of New England, directed the early colonization of NewEngland.
(2.)The London Company, (also known as the Virginia Company of London) sponsored the settlement at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607, and controlled colonization in Virginia until

It turned around, looked at me and seemed to be extremely
surprised that somebody had talked to it. I kept walking. A few steps
after, I noticed the way it had been looking at me, so I looked back and
felt something deep tug in my heart.
It was just like any other day, me walking in a big hurry to take the bus.
In the distance, a big dog showed up. It was coming straight at me,
shuffling its paws and with its head and tail down. It looked blue. I felt
sorry for it so I told it "hello!".
"Of course it's not going to answer. I wish he could speak and tell me
what he is going through", I thought to myself. "I couldn't imagine
what it feels like to be a street dog".
Something was breaking inside of me. I realized that nobody
had spoken politely to it in a very long time. Since that day I try to say
hello to every homeless dog I find on streets.

I love poetry, and recently read a beautiful poem written by mom Christine Maguire that was incredibly moving. Please go read it here: "I Have Carried You, Always" (and don't forget the tissues!)
"I Have Carried You, Always" reminded me of ee cummings' "i carry your heart with me"
i carry your heart with me
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
and then there is this, which I can't recall where I first saw it, but it has given me much comfort:
Rest assured that in her dying, in her flight through
darkness toward a new light, she held you in her arms
and carried your closeness with her. And when she
arrived at God, your image was imprinted on her
joy-filled soul.

Tem vezes que eu me questiono se as mais de 100 abas de chrome abertas sobre os mais díspares temas são efetivamente produtivas dentro do meu trabalho.
But for knowledge workers charged with transforming ideas into products — whether gadgets, code, or even Wired articles — goofing off isn't the enemy. In fact, regularly stepping back from the project at hand can be essential to success. And social networks are particularly well suited to stoking the creative mind.
Studies that accuse social networks of reducing productivity assume that time spent microblogging is time strictly wasted. But that betrays an ignorance of the creative process. Humans weren't designed to maintain a constant focus on assigned tasks. We need periodic breaks to relieve our conscious minds of the pressure to perform — pressure that can lock us into a single mode of thinking. Musing about something else for a while can clear away the mental detritus, letting us see an issue through fresh eyes, a process that creativity researchers call incubation. "People are more successful if we force them to move away from a problem or distract them temporarily," observe the authors of Creativity and the Mind, a landmark text in the psychology and neuroscience of creativity. They found that regular breaks enhance problem-solving skills significantly, in part by making it easier for workers to sift through their memories in search of relevant clues.
That doesn't mean that employees should feel free to play Minesweeper at will, however. According to Don Ambrose, a Rider University professor who studies creative intelligence, incubation is most effective when it involves exposing the mind to entirely novel information rather than just relieving mental pressure. This encourages creative association, the mashing together of seemingly unrelated concepts — a key step in the creative process.
Pronto, não me questiono mais.
O Noah Brier, de quem eu roubei o título do post, destaca um trecho interessante:
A random scrap of information can trigger just the right conceptual collision. It's hard to know which scrap might do the trick, but that's the beauty of social networks — they constantly produce potential sparks, for free.

Click on images to enlarge
I am constantly scouting new and interesting locations for commercial assignments, and Boulder, Colorado is a place that never disappoints. I made these images while scouting scenic backdrops on Boulder Reservoir for a fashion shoot. Unfortunately, I shot them as low-res Jegs, thinking that they were only location test shots. After seeing the final images in post, I decided that I will shoot "everything" in Raw from now on. Live and learn.

A New Way Of Thinking
I knew it would happen, but I am still surprised about how much my son has changed me. From looking at the world in a different perspective in wanting to be a better place, being more religious, and event he small little things he has changed in my daily life.
I used to never watch the news or care really whats going on in the world. I guess that was the teenager/young twenty something mind set of "if it doesn't effect me then I just don't care" attitude. Even if it did effect me in some way or another pre-baby, I would shrug it off and continue on. Having my son has really changed the outlook I have on the world around me. I want our streets to be safer, our economy to not be in such turmoil, and my kid to go to a good school. I guess perhaps I never REALLY thought about where I live or if I will have a good paying job tomorrow. Now I frequently (usually when we get a new neighbor) the National Sex Offender Registry to see where these "nasty" people live. I obviously can't do anything about if it one of them moved next door, but this would at least give me the heads up. I also choose a neighborhood to move into where I would want my son to eventually go to elementary school, middle and then high school. I wanted him to go to schools where I knew it would have other kids that had parents that actually cared and that the county was known for good test scores. I even changed my job because if I had to go to work, then I was damn well going to make more money to better support my family.
I also found myself to be even more religious after having my son. When you are a Mom or Dad and your child is just born, you look at him or her and just can't believe that this being exist. You see them as true miracles and that just really opened up my eyes to God's grace and his unending love he has for all of us. And when there are those less then positive times when your kid is sick with a bug or he/she won't stop crying through the night, prayer really helps. The faith in God to pull you through the circumstances with your child is unbelievable to me. Its not your soul anymore that you are responsible for, its another beings soul and I would do anything and everything for my little guy.
Finally the small little things that my guy has changed about me. He turned my world upside down and for the better. I once used to sing my little pop or rock songs to myself and now find myself singing the words to Elmo's World and making up cheesy songs with my little guy's name in it. I have never stopped eating for two. Not that I am eating double the amount, but usually there is a little guy next to me wanting a bite or two of whatever I have. I used to research and window shop for either myself or for things for the house and now I read everything about my baby's age group and window shop (often buy) for my little man now. It is simple things but its things I have never done before.
To have a baby, to love a baby will change you. There is no question about that. Its just amazing how much a little person can change you in an instant and even though you once resisted change; this change, this new way of thinking is done without hesitation.

Some say that I have talent
I guess that's for you to judge
There are subjects I let fall away
And on others I will not budge
I don't write to make you happy
Or to be your new best friend
I write to tell a story
Of where I am and where I've been
I'm the kind of person
Who provides an honest read
I might just help another
Or plant a dangerous seed
With age there comes a wisdom
The young can't claim to own
It's the ultimate experience
That keeps me on this throne
I'm sure that it's quite obvious
That drama find its way
Into my sanctuary
On any given day
I say if writing brings you pleasure
Is the drug your body needs
Then you could be the person
Whose words I need to read

Excerpt from the book "Alaskan Vogue"
About the Author
I never thought the word "writer" would be used to describe me and the thoughts that tumble out of my head onto paper. It's a new me, giving away words all neatly packaged up in rhyme.
I have lived in the interior of Alaska off and on for nearly twenty years. Alaska gets in your blood. It lures you in then takes your soul hostage, becoming part of who you are, who you become. Every summer, the days are warm, long, and inviting. Tourists descend in droves, racing toward the next adventure, and a rich, colorful history provides plenty of businesses with trinkets to sell the Alaskan nostalgia. Anything seems possible when you are standing outside at midnight and the stars are nowhere to be found. That is until winter rolls back around.

From K.
That was me standing in a certain engagement ring store in Belltown on Sunday, frozen in place, flanked by Mom and J, my husband-to-be, staring first at one ring, then another. And as I visualize my (ideal, I think) wedding band for the umpteenth time, I realize the source of my confusion: Too many options.
Too many options makes me fret how the design of one ring could possibly suffice throughout a lifetime of metamorphosis. Yet, it worked just fine for many of our parents and grandparents. They took what was available and made the best of it, whether jewelry, shoes, bags, cars, homes or even spouses. They probably would thrill at the options now available. But not having to endlessly comparison shop and then second-guess freed them up to spend more time doing than thinking. It calls to mind a recent read, "The Paradox of Choice," which suggests the wealth of options we enjoy actually leaves us poor -- in finances as well as spirit. I know I feel poor after a week of double-checking online to be sure I found the cutest softshell available, even though I already loved the one I bought at the REI anniversary sale!
This summer, I'm going to make the shift from maximizer to satisficer. I'm going to embrace my first choice and stop checking so many times to make sure I'm not missing out on something better. And I'm going to use all that time I save to spend more QT away from Shop It To Me with my greatest investment: My beloved J.

Finding Nemo (2003), I think, was the first animated movie I responded to emotionally. To be more honest, I can't think of any film prior where I have had that kind of emotional reaction or feeling while watching a film. It's amazing to look at and is truly breathtaking.
Essentially, I was in favor of more "pop-culture"-related CGI films like Shrek and Shark Tale at the time of their release. The Incredibles, released in 2004 (the same year as the latter film, as well as the former's record-breaking sequel), was, for sure, a completely different direction for Pixar, in terms of branching out and not merely "staying the course" with success like so many other films, franchises, or studios do. Although, Nemo broke new ground in terms of mature storytelling while progressing in the use of computer technology. More importantly, the story and tone of The Incredibles was arguable something that was outside the usual "kiddie" fare. But as I look back on it, the exact reasons for the film's uniqueness and branching out are the exact same reasons it stands above the other animated films released in 2004.
But it was 2007's Ratatouille that made me appreciate the animation medium as an adult, in addition to showcasing director Brad Bird as one of the most unique, visionary, and important filmmakers working in animation and in Hollywood today. (It will be interesting to see what he does with the fourth installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise, whcih he's currently directing, and will be released later this year.)
It was also during this same period up to the present that Pixar films really became something special while coming of age. 2009, for me, was a redeeming year for many, many films, not to mention animated. That same year reignited a new love between myself and Disney, harkening back to the glory days of hand-drawn animation. Since the fall of 2009, I have been working on-and-off a favorite animated films list, which will not be released for another few months.
More information coming soon from yours truly,

I was bummed that we didn't have any plans to go anywhere this July 4th weekend, but we ended up having a really great time here in StL! Gregory and Ruthie went to golf/tennis camp last week. On Friday we got a babysitter for Mary, and Gary and I picked them up from camp and stayed and played 9 holes. Gary's been playing golf with the kids since they were really little. We figured out that I hadn't played in 3 years! :) It was a little chaotic at times, but we had a lot of fun, and I felt so thankful to spend this time with my two big kids, who are growing up so fast!
On Saturday Gary took all three kids downtown (on the train) for the air show. I joined them later, and we had a great time doing the free kid stuff, eating lunch at the new downtown eat-in Schnucks, and playing at Citygarden. We were heading back to the train, when Gary decided it would be fun to stay downtown for the Cardinals' game. Gregory and I weren't interested, but Ruthie was, so she and Gary stayed. They bought tickets, watched the Brewers beat the Cardinals, and then saw the StL fireworks from their seats.
On Sunday we went to a BBQ at the home of one of Gary's coworkers. There were three other kids the ages of G and R, a blow-up water slide in the backyard, amazing food, and some really fun fireworks. Everyone was happy! The best part for me was the fact that Gary's coworker's wife is opening a pie shop in Webster Groves, and she's very interested in selling my cookies!! Look out, world, here comes EllPie (one small pie shop at a time)!

I bought a 2 pack of Austrains CCA FO in Tuscan and Russet passenger car pack . I want to change the roof colour , paint the end platform underneath the roof white, decal the body then heavily weather it. I don't like masking so I thought it easier to pull apart and paint each individual piece. The interior colour can be changed passengers added and open windows . The under carriage can also be weathered . Here is an exploded view before I start the painting (its raining outside) not good for airbrushing.

|Budapest Haskala Synagogue
My response to a rabbi who insisted that God hadn't hidden His grace from Israel:
You responded:
- You stated: 'Scripture is purposely cryptic about the grace of G-d'? The Tanakh is full of verses relating HaShem's love for his people.
You are certainly right about this! Therefore, let me better try to illuminate what HaShem (G-d) has hidden. Firstly, do not be surprised that G-d does retain His "secret things":
- Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.
- Deut. 29:29 The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.
In fact, it seems that, above all other things, He has hidden the Source of all His grace – His Messiah:
- Isaiah 49:2 He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me [the Messiah] into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver.
- Isaiah 51:16 "I have put my words in your mouth and covered you with the shadow of my hand"
- Isaiah 52:10 The LORD will lay bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
Who is this "holy arm" who He had concealed:
- Isaiah 53:1-3 Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
His "Arm" is the suffering and rejected Savior! Along with this, we find that G-d Himself would mysteriously make atonement for Israel's sins, not the designated Levites, as if G-d was hinting to Israel that animal sacrifices could never cleanse their sins:
- Deut. 32:43 "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people; for He will avenge the blood of His servants, and render vengeance to His adversaries; He will provide atonement for His land and His people."
- Psalm 79:9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name; and deliver us, and provide atonement for our sins, for Your name's sake! (also Ezekiel 16:63)
How would HaShem provide this atonement? What price would He pay? Atonement requires a blood offering. Money would not do.
G-d had directed Abraham to give his son Isaac as a "burnt offering" (Genesis 22:3). However, before Abraham brought the knife down in the flesh of Isaac, G-d intervened and provided Abraham with a ram instead of his son Isaac. Strangely, Abraham then re-named Mt. Moriah:
- Genesis 22:14 "The Lord will provide"; as it is said to this day, "On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided."
How strange! It would seem that Abraham should have named Mt. Moriah, "The Lord has provided!" Instead, Abraham (and Israel) had understood this entire trial as prophetic. In the future, God would provide once again, but this time something greater than what had already been provided. The name – "it shall be provided" – signifies the provision of something greater that would eclipse the burnt offering of Isaac. Instead of Abraham providing his son Isaac, God would give His own Son as a burnt offering!
He is very cryptic about the Messiah as paying the price for the sins of the world. Nevertheless, Scripture does give us many other indications of this. For one thing, the Messiah will bring a new covenant:
- Malachi 3:1 "I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come," says the Lord Almighty.
Actually, the Messiah is even more closely associated with this coming covenant than just as its "messenger":
- "I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness." (Isaiah 42:6-7)
- This is what the Lord says— the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel— to him who was despised and abhorred by the nation, to the servant of rulers: "Kings will see you and stand up, princes will see and bow down, because of the Lord, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you." This is what the Lord says: "In the time of my favor I will answer you, and in the day of salvation I will help you; I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land and to reassign its desolate inheritances, to say to the captives, 'Come out,' and to those in darkness, 'Be free!'" (Isaiah 49:7-9)
What does it mean for Messiah to be the Covenant? Covenant requires the shedding of blood:
- Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people. They responded, "We will do everything the Lord has said; we will obey." Moses then took the blood, sprinkled it on the people and said, "This is the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words." (Exodus 24:8)
It seems unmistakable that the Messiah would provide the blood of this New Covenant. However, Scripture is even more explicit about this blood of the covenant. Ultimately, it could not be a matter of animal blood:
- "Sacrifice and offering you did not desire— but my ears you have opened ["a body you have prepared for me," Proto- Septuagental Text; Hebrews 10:6-8] — burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require. Then I said, "Here I am, I have come— it is written about me in the scroll. I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart." (Psalm 40:6-8; also Psalm 22 and 69)
- Isaiah 53:4-6 Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
The Messiah would take the place of the animal offerings. Today's rabbis insist, without justification, that it was the Jews who died for the sins of the Gentiles, as if the Jews were sinless and didn't also require atonement. However, this is Isaiah's testimony, and he speaks of "our iniquities" – the sins of his own people, not the sins of the Gentiles, as the rabbis allege.
Even in the center-most part of Israelite religion - in the "Holy of Holies" of the Temple itself - God had hidden another key to His center-most, most-cherished, and most-guarded secret about His plan for the world. The Mosaic Law – represented by the Ten Commandments located within the Ark of the Covenant - which occupies the bulk of the Hebrew Scriptures, was overshadowed by another object, the concealed "atonement cover."
It was sequestered away in the place regarded as most holy by G-d Himself. The High Priest could only enter once a year and only after elaborate preparations, lest he die. The "atonement cover" was surrounded by the wings of the cherubim so that the priest could not see it. And when the High Priest entered into the "Holy of Holies," he had to do so with smoke, further obscuring the "cover."
- Exodus 37:9 The cherubim had their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the cover.
- Leviticus 16:12-14 [Only once a year] he [the High Priest] is to take a censer full of burning coals from the altar before the LORD and two handfuls of finely ground fragrant incense and take them behind the curtain. He is to put the incense on the fire before the LORD, and the smoke of the incense will conceal the atonement cover above the Testimony, so that he will not die. He is to take some of the bull's blood and with his finger sprinkle it on the front of the atonement cover; then he shall sprinkle some of it with his finger seven times before the atonement cover. (Romans 3:25)
Oddly, these passages do not indicate that the tablets of the law were so holy that they too needed to be obscured from sight. Instead, the Law was regularly brought before Israel and read for their edification. It was, in effect, the public property of Israel.
Rather, it seems that this "atonement cover" was more shielded from sight than the Ten Commandments and the Ark that it housed! It was hidden, enforced by the threat of death, so that even the High Priest would not look upon it. Nothing else in all Israel was so protected from sight, except the Messiah!
What did the "atonement cover" suggest? Many things! There was yet a concealed atonement, something that would transcend the animal sacrifices, which needed to be offered continually, signifying that they never adequately addressed the sin problem. This was symbolized by the fact that no mere Israelite could enter into the Presence of G-d. Nor did the Mosaic Law ever promise eternal life! This absence indicated that it couldn't, suggesting that there yet had to be an atonement that would reconcile the people with their G-d, allowing them to enter into His Presence.
We are incapable of providing this payment:
- Psalm 49:7-9 Truly no man can ransom another, or give to God the price of his life, for the ransom of their life is costly and can never suffice, that he should live on forever and never see the pit.
The Rabbis wrongly believe that we can achieve this through performing the commandments of God. Instead, an ultimate payment for our sins is what the New Covenant and the "atonement cover" promised. Not only would we be able to enter into His Presence, but we'd become so intimate with our G-d, it would be like a marriage:
- Hosea 2:16-20 "And in that day, declares the Lord, you will call me 'My Husband,' and no longer will you call me 'My Baal.' For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and they shall be remembered by name no more. And I will make for them a covenant on that day with the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens, and the creeping things of the ground. And I will abolish the bow, the sword, and war from the land, and I will make you lie down in safety. And I will betroth you to me forever. I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love and in mercy. I will betroth you to me in faithfulness. And you shall know the Lord."
Hosea's prophecy reflects all of the other prophecies portraying our reconciliation with our Redeemer - all the product of His unilateral and undeserved mercy.

- USDJPY reversing gains. Japan is export driven economy & therefore sensitive to JPY. The more JPY rallies, the more the Japanese economy is likely to deteriorate (e.g. -12% GDP Jan & Jan exports -46% YoY) and the more likely the BoJ intervene, both of which make JPY less attractive.
- The state of the US economy & the debt burden puts $ hegemony at risk in the long term. The US is a net borrower (current a/c deficit -5% GDP) and a net debtor (70% of GDP by 2010) while fiscal deficit -3.5% and rising. Moreover, the countries that fund the deficit are strategic rivals/ unstable petro-states and their reserves are being diverted to fixing their domestic economies. The US is vulnerable to the kindness of strangers.
- A large part of $ safe haven status is technical, driven by flight to US Treasuries & countries/ companies that funded themselves in $ who can't refinance debt.
- EUR: Asked whether Germany would risk seeing the Eurozone break up rather than take action if one of the member states could not refinance its debt, Peer Steinbrück, finance minister, told a press conference: "Could you imagine anyone would be willing to put up with this? We would have to take action."
- £ concerns overdone:
1. public debt = 55% of GDP & 70% by 2010 but < 1916-1970
2. UK not only country increase public debt:GDP ratio. UK's 70% of debt:GDP = Germany, < France/ US
3. Nationalisation of banks risky but falling GBP offsets foreign liabilities on bank balance sheets
4. UK default assumes inability of state to manage economy

"I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine

– Mary Shelley
There is, too oft', a war within my mind;
'Twixt Good and Evil; the Dark Side and Light;
Intellect struggling to resist blind
Ignorance as shadows obscure the right.
Like poison unchecked, discontent infects
My soul, arousing inhumanity;
A monster existing disaffected
Toward empathy, risking insanity.
Why must I continue this conflict 'gainst
Self, denied solace in another's hand;
Some being like me to re-kindle sense,
Restore hope, and grant ease from life's demands?
Solitude only nourishes my rage,And bitterness grows as love dies away.

This is what we have done so far:
IAC broken unit replaced with new one - working perfectly.
Injectors reconditioned, all good. Also tested with New injectors - no change. New injectors had same flow rate as old injectors ( I wonder if old injectors were swaped for bigger flow units at some time)
Fuel pressure tested with dodgy fitting onto guage. Read 25psi before leaking so I think 30psi would be a safe bet.
ECT tested as above post, all good. Reading a little high but at least telling ECM it is HOT.
TPS tested as above post, all good. Replacement part no change.
Map sensor tested as above, all good. Replacement part makes no difference.
Plugs changed & gaped at 1.3 (from factory) will adjust down to 1.1 tomorrow but should not change issue above.
Distributer cleaned.
Timing checked as per manual and 10degree BTDC @1000rpm. ( floats a little on the timing light - not rock steady but easily visible).
What the hell else is these to check - service - replace to stop it running so rich and stop the backfiring?
Have you checked the compression?
ECT- you mean the temperature gauge on the dash? That has nothing to do with what the ECM sees. The ECT you need to check has two wires and you need to check its resistance. If the resistance is high when the engine has been warmed up, it's bad.
The timing mark should be rock steady if the engine has been put in diagnostic mode. If it moves, it's either not in diagnostic mode or the shaft bushing may be worn.
How old are the cap, rotor and plug wires?

Foster Mom Developing
The Beginning
My nephew Henry was the most beautiful little boy I had ever known. If I were to become a mother, I wanted a boy just like Henry. When Henry was four years old, he visited me and my husband for the weekend; we had a rescued kitten and Henry walked around the house carrying the kitten and smiling. He asked the name of the kitten and there wasn't yet a name. I asked Henry what we should name this kitten and Henry smiled and said; "Charlie." "Charlie" the cat lived with us for seventeen years and frequently reminded me of the four year old Henry.
My husband and I divorced and years later, I gave birth as a single mother to a beautiful baby girl I named "Ivy;" Henry was ten years old. Henry's father is my brother who was happy and proud that I was so deeply fond of my nephew. I have only one brother and he shares beautiful brown eyes, a goofy smile, and a clever wit with his son. When Henry was fifteen, he lived with his father, step-mother, two step-sisters, and a step-brother. This was a good, blended family; my brother and my sister in law cared deeply for their four children who were a handful as they were teenagers. One of the children in this family was killed in a tragic accident and my heart was broken for this family of mine suffering such horrific grief and loss.
I do not know if Henry behaved badly because his family was having a difficult time or the influence of his friends at his school, or his adolescent brain was short circuiting on him, but Henry was having a difficult time. At the age of fifteen, Henry was so out of control that his father felt that he needed "tough love," and told Henry to move out of his home. I believe my brother thought that if Henry had no options, he would change his behavior. My brother called me and let me know that he had kicked his son out of his home, and that he thought Henry would call and ask if he could stay with me. He asked me not to let Henry stay with us. I could not refuse my nephew a home, and I do not remember if I told my brother that I could not follow through with his wishes; or if I just listened and didn't respond. It has been too long. I do remember being frantic with worry about my nephew.
Finally, it was agreed that Henry would stay with my parents. Ivy and I were dispatched to retrieve him. During Henry's first night with my parents, my father called and told me he thought Henry might be on drugs because he would not get out of bed. I went to see Henry and discovered that he had a high fever. My brother took him to the doctor the next day and he quickly recovered. My parents, however, were anxious and fearful; not because Henry was behaving badly, but because they were afraid he would. I persuaded my brother to let Henry stay with Ivy and me, at least until we could figure something else out. Henry did come to my house, and the kid was tied to my belt-loops; he went to work, meetings, and social events with me. Within three weeks, Henry became more animated and happy, he enjoyed my co-workers and they enjoyed him. Henry was ready to go back to school and live the life of a15year-old boy as opposed to a 40-year old woman.
With the blessing of Henry's parents, I enrolled him in the local high school. He quickly made friends and started getting good grades. Henry even got a job at a nearby home improvement store. After three months, my brother wanted my nephew to return home. Henry made friends, had a job, and was doing well in school and he wanted to stay. He was anxious about telling his father. I told my nephew I would tell his father myself. Whatever I said to my brother, my choice of words was wrong. I could have been careful to talk about the friends, the job, and the school success that Henry didn't want to give up on. I wasn't careful about my words and my brother flew into a rage.
There was no opportunity to correct what I said. My brother would not speak to me. He would not visit my parents if I was at their home. For the next two years, our family was completely torn apart. After two years, my brother came to my mother's birthday party, Henry joined the Navy and our family came back together again in an uneasy peace.
I came to understand that even good families have terrible struggles and that teenagers can be as vulnerable as young children. I love my nephew, and I loved being there when he needed support. I was glad when Henry moved on successfully. I had a spare bedroom now and I thought maybe this would be a good place for another teenager in transition.
This is the third hub of yours that I've read. I really like the way you tie things up and end a tale when we're just hanging on to every word as it's so gripping and well-written. It's a surprise that we have to quit reading. It's very skillful of you.
I'm happy for you that you were able to be there for Henry when he needed you. Sometimes the teenagers really need their own space away from their parents for awhile in order to really bloom.
I'm glad for you and your brother that you've been able to become friends again.
It takes a special talent and patience to deal with young people. This is a great story and I am truly happy for your family.
Some years ago, I joined, Big Brothers and was paired with a young man who was on the border line of good and bad behavior. To make a long story short, I was never able to reach him. Several years ago I read in the newspaper thar he was arrested for armed robbery. I often wonder, if I could have tried harder to have been a positive influence on him. This is one of those events in one's life that makes one sad. That is all the more reason why it is great that your nephew was able to get it together. Thanks for sharing.

Bush's assertion that the 4,000 dead in Iraq (and we're talking Americans only here) laid the foundations for peace is load of crap. If that was the case, where's the peace? As far as I'm concerned every person has died in vain, fighting a war of false premises and false promises.
Can November come any sooner?? Please let new and refreshing, and meaningful rhetoric about this war come with it.
