Just a friendly reminder to all B1/B2 visa holders who intend on entering the United States for extended periods of time.
While there is no "pre-set" amount of times a visa holder can enter the United States, it is strongly advised that you not take advantage of the system.
For example, if you enter the United States and stay for a period of six month and try to re-enter a month later, rest assured you will be likely be questioned extensively and/or returned back to your country of origin. This is called visa abuse and it could lead to revocation of your visa. Visiting the United States means you are not immigrating, there are other visa types for that.
A tourist visa is not meant for those who intend to live in the United States by working around the immigration law of the United States by simply entering the country, staying for six months, leaving and returning the next day or month.
That said - if you do stay six months (maximum time allowed) you should space your visits out by at least six months. This is not required, however highly recommended.
Just because you receive no exit stamp when leaving the United States does not mean your departure is not reported to CBP. Your travel information (electronic I94) is updated upon your departure automatically, consider this your invisible exit stamp.
, you are encouraged to call ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) tip line at:
(866) 347-2423 Option 1
https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?actio … ce_type=LO
You can remain anonymous. You will need at a minimum the foreign nationals full name. Having the foreign nationals passport number, date of birth, and/or entry date/port can greatly increase the chances of action being taken.
Lets do our part in stopping the abuse of the immigration system.

It's not about Loving
Jesus Christ.
Above All Others
It's not about Loving
Above All Others
It's not about Loving
Above All Others
It's not even about Loving
Above All Others
Because you don't know what God is.
And Loving an idea of God
is not Loving God.
It's simply about
This is the Message
Lost through the Messengers
(and their PR Guys)
It is Simply about Loving
Once it becomes exclusive
To Him
or Her
Or this
or That.
It ceases to be
It ceases to be
About Love.
That which separates
is not about Love.
It's sort of,
on one level
Opposite of Love.
Love is that which Binds
All to
The One.
Here's a Tip:
If you want to Love God
You have to Love it All
It's as simple as that.

Sanding Grit Recommendations
Forum Responses
From contributor W:
As far as sanding goes I would finish with 150 or 180. If you sand with 120 and you like the results then stick with it! I always went finer.
From contributor G:
I use the MLC products also. I always sand to 150 - 120 is a bit to coarse for me. This is usually my starting point on solids, 150 on veneers. Unless you really sand ultra fine (400+) or burnish the surface, I can't see having adhesion problems. I also don't see over-sanding either. You can get the finish glass smooth at 150 grit so why would you want to spend the effort by going further, unless you are sanding endgrain to reduce stain darkening.
From contributor B:
Contributor W and G have it right. I always start with a worn 100 grit pad on an orbital sander, and finish with a fresh 150. A fresh 120 sounds a hair too rough, and might leave swirl marks on the wood that you might see with rubbing stain. Also, for large panels, like a refrigerator panel, or finished end, a 1/2 sheet panel sander kicks butt. I use that then pass over with an orbital. But yeah, sounds like their just covering their ass saying finish on 120. I mean hell, if 150 is too fine to get adhesion, what do you do when u sand your sealers, use 120? If 120 is required to get adhesion, then you'd have to sand your sealer with 120 too, unless it's going to chemically bond.
From contributor J:
I can do that when I'm hand sanding with a block and going with the grain, like when I sand my raised panels before staining and assembling. Sometimes I do that and it makes the stain take better. But that's way too coarse for any of my sanders. So I guess it depends on what type sanding they're talking about.
From contributor A:
I agree with contributor G. MLC also recommends not passing 240 grit between coats. It's been the industry standard in auto finishing to sand 320 between coats. We primarily use MLC products, mostly waterborne with a little 2K thrown in here and there. We always sand 150 bare wood, 220 endgrain on raised panels, 220 after primer/putty, 320 between coats. We've never had an adhesion issue in 12 years.
From contributor J:
120 is fine for oak, ash and hickory but maple and most everything else I take to 150 with the exception of walnut which I take to180 or even 220 if I'm going to stain it. The final grit depends on the wood and the end result I am trying to achieve. One thing to note however: different brands and types of paper can vary quite a bit within a stated grit size. For instance: Klingspor P33 120 is considerably coarser than 3M Gold 120 in my opinion.

Boy oh Boy! this last week or so has been so hard...WARNING GRAPHIC LANGUAGE BELOW!
For this saga i need to go all the way back to thanksgiving-ish... Anthony worked that Friday, was major sick...had to take the next day off of work (yes it was that damn bad), wound up getting every one in the house sick... luckily it didn't transfer to my sister's family... two days after Anthony was feeling better, Atreyu sat on the toilet and gave us insight on how sick HE was feeling, luckily Anthony was sitting right there... ready to not do ANYTHING... i had to clean up the puke...not fair... so that started upset my stomach, that night he slept on the couch...
Needless to say Anthony had to work this night...He left for work and the kids went to bed... i did the midnight potty and moments later i heard it...Az puking, poor boy running for the toilet...which is beyond me because he had never threw up, there for had no experience... but he ran for the toilet anyway... so here we are at midnight...I now put Az on the couch and there would be no more throw up that night... The next day was a test of everything i am made of... everything. Woke up really ill. All day ill...the waters ill...so there's that, plus me tossing my stomach, and headache... awesome day.. right? Anthony has to work again...I set Az up on the couch again because at the bed time bathroom run, he puked...again...So yeah. Ana said that her tummy was ick, so she was on the floor...Midnight run nothing... 3 AM, Ana got sick. We had no more blankets so i stayed up with her for the rest of the night... 6:30 am i finally get to pass out in bed
Enter the jerkiness... Mind you right now i am severely ill. sleep deprived, smelly... I told Anthony that he needs to step up and let me sleep and get better... three hours later he is complaining that he is tired...at this point with the three hours... i have had a total of 5 hours of sleep over the last 2 days. And he is complaining to ME...Needless to say i laid into him... When i get up he goes off to bed, knowing that there are dishes in the sink, crap on the floor, pukey blankets that need to be washed and kids to be watched, and that i am still sick...There is no love there...none. So sick i have to go do laundry, and cook dinner and make lunch and let the kids play outside...i love being a mom sometimes... not!
But no one has thrown up in days, and i am feeling much better...much better and i am so darn happy about it...
Something else i am happy about is after all that drama and crap... i finally got to do some bobbin lace...I really haven't been in the mood to tat, but at least i know what project i am going to do next :).
A few things that have happened since also is my niece turned 2. She has been on this earth for 2 years and i can't wait to see the rest of them... boy i love that chipmunk...On facebook my cousin DeeAnn and Aunt Diane both friended me. Its so weird you know... i haven't actually talked to my cousin in over, shoot, must be 10 years... and my aunt in almost the same...How can you be family and not know each other... I asked myself this question a few times this last week... Like, i know my sister, but i am still learning brand new things about her...I was trying to buy my grama a present for Christmas and it dawned on me that i don't know anything about her, at all!
Why do we let our friends closer than our family? So while my sister was here we talked, we shared secrets and I am so thankful that my sister isn't just my sister... she is actually a better friend than a sister. i love that. But it's so weird that there are so many things that i don't know about her... Ok... so i am going to head off and watch the rest of Grey's anatomy...Night night

I've recently read 1984 for my AP English class as well as The Handmaid's Tale for my own pleasure and I realized that I have a problem with the usual dystopia label- especially in YA.
The Rundown: 1984 is set in the year 1984. The main focus is a dystopian society that is controlled an entity called Big Brother and the Party, which is a subsection under BB, is in control of wiping out history that is against BB and could paint him in a negative light or not being seen as an seeing God or omnipotent entity. Winston Smith (the main character) comes to terms with thinking outside of the Party mindset. He begins to remember things he shouldn't and is no longer using doublethink to contradict what he knows. Doublethink is used to tell yourself "I saw something, but it didn't happen. Essentially making it obsolete because it goes against the Party and BB". In this society if you are considered a thoughtcriminal (which Winston is eventually considered as after his affair with Julia and trying to becoming a member of Goldstein's rebellion), he is taken to the Ministry of Love. The ministry of torture and creating love for BB in the hearts of those who have strayed away (I realized this while filming and had a total eureka moment!) Winston and all other criminals are tortured until they essentially love BB and the whole purpose of BB and the Party is that they want power. Every totalitarian society before them created martyrs and they did not do it right. They had other goals in mind; while BB only wants power and power over the people. To have power over the people you can't have a martyr, which means you have to make the person love BB in every single way before you kill him because if he loves BB then he is not a threat. So you can't have a martyr if the martyr essentially doesn't exist.
Realization: The Hunger Games is not a dystopian novel. This is a revolutionary novel. The whole point of 1984 is to show that this is a bleak world with no hope. Once you love BB, you are essentially just another Party member and all you're meant to be is apart of the mass. Once you've assimilated back into the Party there's no hope for you because this is a hopeless society. THAT is what a dystopian novel is.
Another Dystopian: I have also read The Handmaid's Tale and the Gilead is a hopeless society. They take women who are considered lesser because of a second marriage or were single mothers in the time before the revolution to create the Gilead occurred. They become Handmaids and used for reproduction and are essentially fertilizer. So that the Commanders and Commanders' Wives can have children. Most of the time (it is revealed in the Historical Notes section) that Commanders were sterile due to toxins and radiation exposure in their bodies. Essentially at the end of the novel, it is as hopeless as 1984. In this novel, there is the possibility of hope and then after reading the historical section that the world Offred experiences is just as hopeless as Winston's because these are dystopian novels. THERE IS NO HOPE IN A DYSTOPIAN NOVEL. If it is a true dystopian society, there will never be hope. I don't know what happened to the Gilead, but it eventually disappears. There were most likely martyrs in their society and they failed to achieve what BB did. There is some hope for the world of Gilead, which would make this novel a revolutionary one, but it isn't. It's a fully dystopian novel. There is no hope in this novel at all and even when there is hope and you know that Offred could eventually escape, you also know that she is going to eventually get caught because the Gilead is so expansive.
The Problem: My problem with THG is that it is considered a dystopian novel, but it has a very weak plot. Why is this world like it is? In these two novels I've mentioned, I know why the world is like it is. I know the motives. 1984 uses technology to make you submit and The Handmaid's Tale uses gender to make you submit and God, a Gildean god used for their own governmental purposes. In THG, they us The Hunger Games to make you submit, but it's not effective because it's one time of the year to make you submit. That's not going to be effective. This is the problem I have with YA Dystopians. They are labeled as Dystopians when it's not a dystopian. This is a revolutionary novel. This is a novel about coming out of a society that has tried to take control, but failed to.
There's a fine line between a dystopian novel and a revolutionary novel. The argument could be that this novel is set in a dystopian society, but this society didn't last for very long time in history. When you think about how big the world is and how long it has lasted, THG is just a small period of time. Whereas BB will probably last forever and the Gilead last for a good a thousand years.
In the comments on my video so far, I've been asked about my thoughts on Divergent and where it stands in this topic.
"Divergent overall is an unrealistic portrayal of human psychology and factions are something I can't ever see happening. I also had a problem with the way the whole trilogy played out in general and thought it was a cheaply written trilogy. I did enjoy Divergent, but I don't think it's a dystopian novel at all. I see it more as a revolutionary novel and then not even that. It could fall under a completely different category of alternate worlds."
What do you think about dystopian novels? Especially YA novels. Should they be considered dystopian or should they be labelled as revolutionary? Let's discuss.

the revolution will be streamed live,
wheels will burn and ghosts return,
the town will be jocked and jokers
shocked, heads will come up like
hellebore bracts as the last Dodge
rolls off the assembly line, the tail
of a silver train; all talked-out with
the risen sun, hipsters tricked out with
fake numbers on their wrists will sleeve
their way to the city in bumper-buses;
bells will ring; breakfast will be served
on the terrace as usual; maids who
dolled-up yesterday will dock their
good fortune and pound an alien maize
with the corn-ring piazzas for a pestle,
asking whose hand rocks the world,
while people on a walk-by will find a
way to make their own music; yet
the revolution will be streamed live
to those who have the appropriate
technology to receive it; street-kids
in Rio will wake and only feel the
aftershock, but it will be enough to
make them laugh, disguise themselves
in plumage, and sing in the tongues
of angels, though purists think to hear
arias as they parade the boulevards to
paint chirurgeon strips on signpoles;
beaded beanies will sell out; the avenues
will look strange but you'll not know
why until later; people behind the wave
will see patterns in the water; new;
brooms; sweeping; clean; backlogged
gates and desks and locks and boards
and cards and marks and doors and
walkways will give merry way to
the revolution will be narrated, a day
later they'll think to send someone
with a microphone to the scene, but
there'll be no yellow tape and no
atmosphere, only daze in the strange
avenues (later, later!) where bosuns
link arms; you'll be thinking "paradigm
shift" but the term will have redefined
itself; actual words will march; advance;
retreat; retrench; oh the coloured shirts
pushed back against breasts and arms
by the breeze, read meaning into the
curlicues, make dollarsigns empty,
cup hands, draw lots, make starts, build
bridges, birth children, make sure in
the blind times to come, sure as wheat,
plain daylight, crowsure the timestamped
revolution has thus been narrated
A retreat from the lyric, but not a retreat, more and advance in a different direction. ©Marie Marshall.

So, this isn't my first go at starting a blog. About a year ago I gave it a go, but work and life got too busy for me to stick to it and I only made it to (sadly) post numero uno! I am making a promise to myself that I will do better this time around. I hope to get at least two or three posts out a week in the beginning. Hopefully more once I get the hang of it…here's hoping!
As some background, I am an Insights Researcher for a retail design agency and I could not be more blessed for the great company and coworkers I share my days with! As part of my job I get to do retail tours, online safari's and identify trends that are influencing shopper and consumer behaviors. Additionally, I get the opportunity to talk to shoppers and consumers for a variety of clients across many different industries around the country. I love being able to glean insights from them that help impact the design process….and it's definitely nice to get to explore new cities, try the local cuisine and checkout what they have to offer regarding the retail scene.
Twitter, Pinterest and numerous blogs feed me information on a daily basis. I get so much enjoyment out of trying new restaurants, checking out the latest trends in fashion and trying various things that are popping up around the web. I hope to share some of the things I find interesting from trying monthly subscriptions, to foodie adventures in the city, to great websites that MUST be added to your bookmarks bar. I also love exploring the BUCKEYE city and will surely be writing about events and my experiences in this great city. Along the way you'll get to know me, my friends and family and all the things that I find exciting, interesting and fun!
I'll leave you with an image of William and I in Chicago…
Till post number 2…
"A beginning is only the start of a journey to another beginning."


text: I have done very unusual project about typology. I took pictures of a group of students staying in the same position using the same face expression to show how similar we are. I gather them in studio and used the same lighting and background. Then I layered pictures and create one person from eight people including men and females. I wanted to show that each of us is different but everyone go thorough the same situations like happiness, fear, frustration etc. Those moments we can easily read from face expression, which I presented as a one person. Can you guess what king of expression could it be?

text: HyPeRxJS 0 Posted August 16, 2016 Hello everyone I was accepted to the community a couple days ago and want to give a little bit about me! Hope to see everyone around! Hello everyone I am Jay I'm 22 years old and I lost my brother in this attack. His name was Alex he was my best friend and my whole life we grew up very close to each other, we did everything together. We had to be close because both of our parents died when we where in the 8th grade, we were left to fend for ourselves. This all changed as I was sent in to Chernarus as the CDF ground unit. And my brother was in there. I was hoping as I dragged out dead bodies and threw them in the truck one by one I would not find the one of my brother. I got my wish but he was no where to be found. But something bad did happen I lost my whole ground unit I lost 3 people that I was really close to and who has helped me throughout this hard time in my life. I had to get revenge every time I saw someone who was infected I had to do what I could to put them down these infected people are deadly, well I think there still people. They killed my friends and might have killed my brother. Every time I see an infected I will kill it and every time I see someone who needs help I will save them. I do this because I hope the lord will guide me to my brother if I do what is right with my life. I will be starting off my journey soon from the south airfield and will be on a mission to save my brother and save the community. And hopefully meet some people who are looking for a loved one and I hope I can help them as I hope they would help me! I hope to see everyone around and I hope I get to know everyone! 0 Share this post Link to post

ORDER DENYING PETITIONER'S MOTION FOR TIME REDUCTION [Doc. No. 21 in 11cr 1854]
Petitioner, a federal inmate proceeding pro se, submitted a motion for time reduction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. He seeks relief on the ground that, due to his alien status, he is ineligible for (1) a one-year reduction of sentence through a drug program, (2) an early release to a halfway house, and (3) a Unicor job. [Doc. No. 21]. Petitioner argues that the availability of these programs to United States citizens, but not to aliens, violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, and the Equal Rights Act of 1964. [Id.] Having considered Petitioner's arguments, and for the reasons set forth below, the Court DENIES Petitioner's Motion for Time Reduction.
Petitioner was charged with, and ultimately pleaded guilty to, being a deported alien found in the United States in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and (b), which carries a maximum sentence of twenty years. [See Doc. Nos. 5, 10.] As part of his Plea Agreement, Petitioner expressly "waive[d], to the full extent of the law, any right to appeal or to collaterally attack the guilty plea, conviction and sentence, . . . unless the Court imposes a custodial sentence above the greater of the high end of the guideline range recommended by the Government pursuant to this agreement at the time of sentencing or statutory mandatory minimum term, if applicable." [Doc. No. 10.] At sentencing, the Government calculated a guideline range of 37 to 46 months and recommended a sentence of 42 months. [Doc No. 18.] Petitioner sought a sentence of 18 months based on the downward departures under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). [Doc. No. 17.] On September 21, 2011, the Court sentenced Petitioner to 30 months. [Doc. No. 20.]
Section 2255(a) authorizes the Court to "vacate, set aside or correct" a sentence of a federal prisoner that "was imposed in violation of the Constitution or laws of the United States." Claims for relief under § 2255 must be based on some constitutional error, jurisdictional defect, or an error resulting in a "complete miscarriage of justice" or in a proceeding "inconsistent with the rudimentary demands of fair procedure." United States v. Timmreck, 441 U.S. 780, 783-84 (1979) (internal quotation marks omitted). If the record clearly indicates that a petitioner does not have a claim or that he has asserted "no more than conclusory allegations, unsupported by facts and refuted by the record," a district court may deny a § 2255 motion without an evidentiary hearing. United States v. Quan, 789 F.2d 711, 715 (9th Cir. 1986).
I. Waiver
As an initial matter, it is clear that Petitioner waived any right to collaterally attack his sentence. "'A defendant's waiver of his appellate rights is enforceable if (1) the language of the waiver encompasses his right to appeal on the grounds raised, and (2) the waiver is knowingly and voluntarily made.'" United States v. Rahman, 642 F.3d 1257, 1259 (9th Cir. 2011) (citation omitted). In this case, as part of his Plea Agreement, Petitioner expressly waived "any right . . . to collaterally attack the guilty plea, conviction and sentence," unless "the Court imposes a custodial sentence above the greater of the high end of the guideline range recommended by the Government pursuant to this agreement at the time of sentencing or statutory mandatory minimum term, if applicable." [Doc. No. 10.] At sentencing, the Court imposed a sentence of 30 months, which was below the Government's recommended guideline range of 37 to 46 months. [See Doc. Nos. 18, 21.] Because the Court did not impose a sentence above the high end of the guideline range recommended by the Government, Petitioner's waiver applies. There is also no indication that the waiver was not knowingly and voluntarily made. Accordingly, Petitioner's collateral attack on his sentence is precluded by a valid waiver. See United States v. Abarca, 985 F.2d 1012, 1014 (9th Cir. 1993); see also United States v. Navarro-Botello, 912 F.2d 318, 321-22 (9th Cir. 1990) (public policy supports plea agreements because, inter alia, of the finality that results).
II. Merits
Even assuming Petitioner did not waive the right to collaterally attack his sentence, his claims fail on the merits. Aliens present in the United States illegally are entitled to the full protections of the Equal Protection Clause. Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202, 215 (1982). Nonetheless, to state a claim for violation of the equal protection, the plaintiff must allege that he was treated differently from other similarly situated persons. City of Cleburne v. Cleburne Living Ctr., 473 U.S. 432, 439 (1985). Unless a suspect classification is present, the unequal treatment must only be "rationally related to a legitimate state interest." Id. at 440.
The policy precluding deportable aliens from participating in certain community-based programs does not violate equal protection because it is rationally related to the government's interest in preventing those individuals from fleeing. See McLean v. Crabtree, 173 F.3d 1176, 1184 (9th Cir. 1999) (the exclusion of deportable aliens from participating in a community-based treatment program was rationally-based, and therefore constitutional, seeing as "prisoners with detainers pose a flight risk during the community-based treatment phase because they are subject to possible deportation upon release from custody, and therefore have reason to flee a halfway house"). Similarly, the denial of a one-year reduction does not violate due process because it does not "impose atypical and significant hardship on the inmate in relation to the ordinary incidents of prison life;" rather, it "merely means that the inmate will have to serve out his sentence as expected." Id. at 1185 (internal quotation marks and citations omitted).
As other courts have concluded, deportable aliens are not "similarly situated" to United States citizens with respect to the benefits that Petitioner seeks. See, e.g., Aguilar-Marroquin v. United States, Nos. 11-CV-705 H, 10-CR-3802 H, 2011 WL 1344251, at *2 (S.D. Cal. Apr. 8, 2011); Rendon-Inzunza v. United States, No. 09cv1258-LAB, 2010 WL 3076271, at *1 (S.D. Cal. Aug. 6, 2010); Santos v. United States, 940 F. Supp. 275, 281 (D. Haw. Aug. 16, 1996). Because United States citizen inmates must re-enter domestic society upon completion of their sentences, they have a strong incentive to comply with community-based placement. On the other hand, non-citizen inmates subject to deportation upon completion of their sentences may have an opposite incentive to flee from the community-based placement. Accordingly, "[i]t is not an equal protection violation to allow United States citizen-inmates, who must re-enter domestic society, to participate in rehabilitative or other programs while denying that privilege to deportable inmates." Rendon-Inzunza, 2010 WL 3076271, at *1. Because the two groups are not "similarly situated" for purposes of relief that Petitioner seeks, there is no equal protection violation. See City of Cleburne, 473 U.S. at 439; see also Demore v. Kim, 538 U.S. 510, 521-22 (2003) ("Congress may make rules as to aliens that would be unacceptable if applied to citizens.").
Because Petitioner's collateral attack is precluded by a valid waiver, and because it fails on the merits, the Court DENIES Petitioner's motion for sentence reduction under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. The Court also denies a certificate of appealability because Petitioner has not "made a substantial ...

This is a brief post in response to the requests for the gorgeous duck recipe by my friend Lucy from our lovely lunch at her place last weekend. Lucy has generously shared the recipe. I know what I'll be doing with duck the next time I cook it…
Persian Roast Duck Legs with Date and Pomegranate Sauce
8-10 duck legs
2 onions, roughly sliced
salt flakes and pepper
1 Tbl olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
¼ tsp tumeric
¼ tsp ground cumin
pinch cayenne pepper
1 cup chicken stock
16 fresh dates, pitted
3 Tbl pomegranate molasses
Heat oven to 180 degrees. Put the duck legs in a roasting pan on a bed of the sliced onion, sprinkle the skin with salt and pepper and roast for 1 1/4 hours. The skin should be crisp and golden brown and the meat coming away from the bone.
Heat the olive oil in a sauce pan and fry the chopped onion until lightly browned and softened. Add the spices and fry for a minute. Add the stock and 1/2 cup of water then add the dates and pomegranate molasses. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. Break up the dates with a wooden spoon as the sauce cooks, the sauce should be thick, dark and unctuous.

Road Rage at its finest. . .
Time for a little levity here. . .
Actually this should be titled: Parking Lot Rage--because, well, it takes place in a parking lot.
If you liked the character 'Lois' from Malcolm In The Middle--you'll love her in this demonstration of how to get the best of a rude parking lot driver. . .
Now excuse me while I go get my car to do some shopping. . .

The passage we call death. . .
I apologize in advance if this post becomes too wordy--as I have a myriad of thoughts on this subject since I have been exposed to the event of death in a very real and personal way recently. . .
In my experiences upon this planet--the death of a loved one is one event or facet of life that can truly cause profound changes in a person. . . you know, where you have what might be referred to as an 'aha moment' and truly stop and think what life is all about. . .
Thankfully, I haven't had to experience many such deaths yet--but I have had a few of these passages I've gone through and I know my life has been profoundly altered by each one.
I remember well, 3 & 1/2 years ago when I lost a very good friend and my own dear mother in the very same week. My mother's death was not unexpected, she was well into her 80's and her health was failing, yet even so, when she passed away it was still so heartbreaking to have her gone. My friend's death was very unexpected--he was only 54 and died suddenly and I had a hard time trying to come to grips that he really was gone and I would never again get to hear his laughter and endure his teasing and joking and see his smiling face and slurp up all the compliments he so generously gave. . .
I still think of them often and remember their faces and voices and words of cheer and comfort and advice--and in the case of my mother, there are times when I feel very close to her and that she is somehow watching over me. . .
More recently, just before Thanksgiving, I lost a very sweet next-door neighbor. We have had this amazing retired couple that live right next door to us. And they were such a 'class act.' They have been very close to our family and put up with our crazy, sometimes rowdy and noisy brood ever since we moved next to them almost 15 years ago. They never seemed to mind the pranks my kids pulled or the loud noises and music that might come from our home any time of day or night.
When the wife started becoming ill, I watched this man tenderly care for her and take over many things to keep her home with him so she wouldn't have to go into assisted care. He did the care mostly himself--with hospice folks coming on a regular basis to check up and help out when needed.
She died of congestive heart failure--the very same thing my own mother died of--and when her moment of passage came and he came to tell me the news, it was such a bittersweet moment. Bitter--because she was gone, and she was such a great, happy, caring, intelligent and fun lady--and a class act right up to the end of her life. And sweet--because her husband had been with her every moment right up to the end and was with her when she made this passage into death--so she wasn't alone or afraid.
We shared some precious moments and stories--and now, my neighbor, as well as my father--must learn to go on with this life without their beloved companions--until they finally make their own passage and can be reunited again with their loved ones.
And finally--just a few short days ago, I experienced the passage of another great friend. Words cannot adequately express the love and admiration and appreciation that I have felt (and still feel) for this kind, loving, amazing man.
My heart is pained in a way I cannot even describe. It's like part of my heart and soul is missing along with this great man. His death was also unexpected--and I took some consolation in the fact that he went very peacefully, sitting in his chair, watching his favorite golf channel.
There may or may not come into your life folks that touch your very soul and that you connect with in a deep and profound way. Anne of Green Gables calls people like this 'bosom buddies'. . . right from the start he and his wife were exactly that! Bosom buddies--deep friends--and the love we felt for them not only extended to them--but to their family as well. This love was reciprocated a thousandfold. They genuinely loved our children and grandchildren and we became part of their family--and have remained so ever since.
I received so much advice and counsel and laughter and stories and cheer and comfort and empathy and unconditional love from this man. I've laughed with him, cried with him, prayed with him, counseled with him, talked with him, and learned so much about how to live a Christ-centered life from him. When I think of a spiritual man--I think of him, when I think of a loving husband, father, and grandfather--I think of him. When I think of a successful, ethical businessman--I think of him. When I think of a talented and smart hobbyist of many things (a Renaissance man)--I think of him.
And his wife is not one whit behind him in any of his attributes. She and he are great individuals--but together--WOW! They transcend into the amazing realm.
The thing is--he wasn't perfect, he had many bad as well as good things happen to him throughout his life. But what he taught me about was the nature of his character--about how to REACT to the bad things that happen--how to make mistakes and pick yourself up, learn from them, move on and be better. This was what endeared me to him the most--and made me feel that I could overcome anything too--and gave me the strength to try and be better. . .
I think really good friends inspire you to be the best you can be and accept and love you for who you are, warts and all. And that's how he was to me and my family.
And though I feel somewhat shortchanged (that he left much sooner than I would have liked) I feel very blessed and privileged to have known him and got to share in a bit of his life and that our paths crossed and we spent lots of time together--because I am a better person because of him.
I still have his wonderful wife in my life--and will try and be a comfort and help to her as she learns to cope with his absence until they can be reunited again. . . and I am grateful for her love and example too.
I just felt that I had to share some moments to mark the passages of some truly great people that I have had the good fortune to come into my life. I have truly learned to respect and love and give and do as much as I can WHILE I still can.
You truly never know when someone you know and love might just make that passage into death--it can come unexpectedly at any time. . . and whether as a release from a lingering illness, a tragic accident or violent means, an unexpected event, or even a peaceful passing into the life beyond--it is always a profound event and forever leaves its mark upon the survivors. . .
How I dearly miss those loved ones who have taken this passage. . . and I have great hope, when my own time comes that I will see and hear and embrace them again. What a joyous reunion that will be. . .
Until then, I want to live up to the legacy that I have learned from their passing. I hope I don't disappoint. . .

Escaping to the coast. . .
We decided to escape the cold, winter weather and spend a weekend in Lincoln City at the Oregon coast with some friends and their families . . .
The weather was PERFECT! Sunny and clear and in the mid 50's. . . Perfect to go beach combing, hiking and exploring. . .
It was also the perfect place to strike poses with friends!
And of course, I had to get a pose in with dear hubby:
And speaking of dear hubby--HE had to get in some harmonica playing time:
As well as try to find the perfect hat when we went exploring Depot Bay:
On one of our early morning beach walks--we found a guy who barely made it on to the sand from his hotel room before 'staking his claim' and having his breakfast on the beach:
His 'spot' was marked by him taking off his jacket and placing it upon a tall stick which he stuck into the sand:
Since it was early in the morning, and there was hardly anyone even ON the beach--I couldn't figure out why he felt the need to do this. He never even got close to the water! Just ate his breakfast, put his jacket back on and walked the hundred steps or so back up the embankment and to his rental room. . .
Meanwhile, SOME people really knew how to have fun at the beach!

I'm trying the 'shut-your-pie-hole' diet for the new year!
So here's my BIG ONE for this next year.
I have decided to go on the ultimate weight loss diet. I call it the 'shut-your-pie-hole' diet.
Trust me, after being in the 'fitness industry' for nearly 25 years, I know what works and what doesn't. No weight loss plan, exercise gadgets, pills, diet drinks or diet foods work as effectively as this secret method I am about to share with you.
JUST SHUT YER STINKIN' PIE-HOLE and stop eating so much food! Seriously. That's it! Works like a charm. . . If you don't put very much down the ole' gullet--you won't have to worry about that much coming out in the end (if ya know what I mean) OR you won't have to worry about that much extra girth being added to your frame.
This plan is brilliant in it's simplicity--but sometimes rather tricky to actually execute--especially when around such mouth-watering temptations as these:
If you show the slightest weakness around these foods--stop going to places that serve them. . . don't hang around carnivals, movie-theater concession stands, friend's houses, restaurants, grocery stores and delis, and above all else--steer clear of ice-cream parlors, doughnut shops and bakeries!
And it goes without saying you must completely avoid your pantry and refrigerator. (and your nightstand drawer and top closet shelf where you hide the extra goodies)
Yes, you may tend to get a bit 'cranky'. . . possibly paranoid. . . slightly stressed and from time to time you might even find yourself in a FOUL MOOD from not eating as much as you want any time you want. . . But just remember that mantra that you must keep saying to yourself over and over and OVER again: 'Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels' (and whatever other nonsense you can come up with)
The 'SHUT-YOUR-PIE-HOLE' diet is quite effective on it's own--but when you combine it with the 'GET-OFF-YOUR-BUTT-AND-WORK-THAT-THING-OFF' exercise program, the results are nothing short of AMAZING!
This exercise program is also quite simple in structure (but the execution can be as complex as you want to make it)
Just make sure you move around a lot more than you sit or lie down. You don't need to belong to a fancy gym--you can do some really insane things right in your own domicile. For example:
- If you have stairs in your house--run up and down them 10 or 20 times EXTRA for every time you have to make a trip.
- When you want to use your phone, computer, TV, or CD-player--take a walk around the block first. (I suggest that when you have to use the bathroom, just go ahead and do it--and THEN take your walk around the block)
- When folding and putting away clothes, put them in surprising places (kinda like an Easter Egg Hunt) Then go back and try and find them and put them away correctly. If you hide them outdoors, you may need to do your laundry again (which just increases the workout and the fun!)
You can also be creative in the workplace or any errands that you normally do. For example:
- When you shop--don't just park your car in the farthest spot from the store--park it at a completely different lot and then walk/jog/hitchhike to the store. If you happen to have a TON of stuff to drag back to the car--don't use a shopping cart or bag--bring each thing one at a time. (Or buy each item separately and then go back in for each additional item)
- If you work in a multi-level building--take the stairs to your office, instead of the elevator. And if you are only on the second or third floor--don't be a wimp. Go all the way to the top and then back down to your floor. For extra fun, you can always bring belay and rappel tools and scale the building from the outside to get to your office.
- When typing on your keyboard--every time you hit the 'e' key--drop down on the floor and do 25 push ups. And if you take coffee or bathroom breaks--be sure to walk all the way around your building before sitting your fanny back down at your desk.
Yes, I am fairly certain that the SHUT-YOUR-PIE-HOLE and the GET-OFF-YOUR-BUTT-AND-WORK-THAT-THING-OFF will become the rage among fitness gurus in the near future. I can hear you speculate, 'But does it actually work?' Oh yes, Virgina, it REALLY DOES WORK. They key is to actually DO it!
I'm not sure they will keep the clever names though. Fitness experts may market it as something more politically correct, such as; 'Eat in moderation and get Regular Exercise' or some other mediocre title. But make no mistake about it--you heard it HERE first! And I'm going to try it and report back from time to time and tell you how it's going. . .
If any of you care to join me--that's GREAT! (misery loves company) And as TINY Tim would say: 'God reduce us, every one!'

Laughs for the new year. . .
I ran across this youtube video the other night--and both my husband and youngest son gave it a big 'thumbs up'. . . we were laughing all the way through it.
I think Jim Gaffigan is a very funny comedian--and his take on bottled water and Mexican food are quite similar to my own.
Dear hubby has been on a tirade about folks who PAY to drink bottled water. . . (although he has been known to have a few guilty plastic water bottles lying around himself)
And we had just returned from a a night of eating out at one of those 'cheap' Mexican Food places where EVERYTHING on the menu turned out to be basically the same thing.
So when we came home and I stumbled upon this Gaffigan video. . . it became an 'aha'--I TOLD YOU SO moment for our little family.
Therefore--as part of my new year's resolution to keep all my blogger fans informed of every latest development and nuance of my otherwise mundane and sordid life. . . I am giving you a respite from the tediousness of my life and sharing a funny comedy clip of Jim Gaffigan.
He rants about bottled water and Mexican food---and throws a few quips about Indiana and ugly vs. attractive people in for good measure.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. . . and I'm sure I'll be running into many of you with your bottles of water at a local Mexican Food restaurant. Save a taco for me!

You're kidding me, right?
I know the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. . . but does Burger King actually think the way to a woman's heart is the scent of meat?
Very recently the BK execs decided it was time to try branching out from all those flame-broiling burgers and greasy fries and start dealing in 'manly fragrances'
So of course they came up with something they know best--a flame-broiled fragrance called:
The company's website describes the fragrance as 'a scent of seduction, with a hint of flame-broiled meat.'
I know that the smell of whoppers gets my juices going--so they must be on to something!
And how about that Burger King Mascot pictured above? If you thought he was scary as all get-out before. . . just get a load of him now! I'm gonna have nightmares tonight. . .

What did you do the first day of 2009?
This is actually what I should have done. . . but for some unknown reason I got a tear up my undies and went on a rampage to CLEAN my house! Don't ask me why--I have no idea.
Middle son got up when it was still dark and drove with a friend to a neighboring state to start college and enter the world of enlightenment and draining bank accounts.
Dear hubby got up in the wee hours too--to go off with some 'office pals' for a New Year's Day hike in the soggy, rainy, wet, cold, miserable woods out yonder.
Youngest son was comatose in bed and wouldn't be up until the crack of 1:00 p.m.
That left me with some time to myself and of course, I run around the house like the in-laws are coming for a surprise visit and start cleaning and straightening everything in sight!
(hopefully this is a just a 'once in a lifetime thing')
So there I am running up and down the stairs, putting clothes away, picking up stuff, cleaning clutter, doing dishes, vacuuming the house, straightening furniture, (OK--I think you get the point) Needless to say, I racked in over 1,000 steps on my pedometer within the first 37 minutes! (Dear daughter, you should be so proud--you got me the darn thing for Christmas)
One observation I made as I was going through this New Year's Day cleaning dervish was how dumb we can be about some stuff. Case in point: while vacuuming, if there was some piece of dirt, crumb, small object that wouldn't move while running the vacuum over it--I'd just pick it up and drop it back on the floor again. . . you know, to give my vacuum cleaner another fighting chance at it. (or to rub my cleaning-unit's nose in it. . . as if to say: 'Come on, big guy, you can do it--now suck that bad boy up!) I did this several times. Why I didn't just throw the bit/crumb/unmentionable away myself after picking it up? It didn't even cross my mind. That was the VACUUM CLEANER'S job--and doggone it--it was gonna do it--if I had to vacuum over the same piece of dirt a dozen times!
Hmmmm. . . . maybe THAT'S how I got all those extra steps in. . .

The first is based on 'Morella'. Vince is on excellent form and the castle is beautifully shot, but the story feels rushed and is unclear.
The second is a merger of 'The Black Cat' and 'The Cask of Amontillado'. It's an attempt at introducing comedy into the works. Peter Lorre's performance is excellent, but the sit-com moments really weren't complementary.
Finally, 'The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar' is the real treasure and the only one that's in any way chilling, in part due to Basil Rathbone's intensity.

So, a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I said I was going to start a feature here at the Q:P about horses, called the Writer's Beginning Guide to Horses. The goal of this feature can be found in detail with the first entry here, along with my background, but in a nutshell, I wanted to compile a resource for writers who want to put horses into their novels. A simple, easily-categorized resource to answer common misconceptions and questions.
So finally, eight months later, I am writing the second installment. Today's installment is about the gaits of horses, or, the different "gears" they have, if you will.
The most common breeds of horses have four major gaits. There are horses that have more than four gaits, but they are admittedly one place where my knowledge is lacking. You can read more about these horses, called gaited horses, here.
The first gait is the walk. This is the standard gait, and is the easiest to understand-- it's a walk. It's quite obviously the slowest of the gaits, and is what's called a four-beat gait, meaning that each of the hooves hit the ground independently of each other. The horse has three feet on the ground at a time during the walk. As far as a rider is concerned, the walk is the easiest gait to ride.
The next gait up is the trot. The trot is a two-beat gait, meaning that the feet move in pairs, with two feet on the ground and two feet in the air at the same time. The pairs of feet are on diagonals, meaning that the front right and rear left will be off the ground at the same time, and so forth.
For the beginning rider, the trot is usually the hardest to ride physically. An experienced rider can sit the trot, meaning they match the motion of their hips to the motion of the horse and do not bounce up and down in the saddle. Alternatively, in English disciplines (and more and more common everywhere regardless of discipline), the rider can post, which means to rise up and down in the saddle with the rhythm of the horse, taking most of the jarring out of the trot.
The next gaits are technically the same gait, only at increased speed and with a difference in beat count. The first stage over the trot is called the canter (in English disciplines) or the lope (in Western). The canter or lope is a three-beat gait, which is rather much harder to explain in this brief overview, and therefore I will re-direct you to this resource which explains it in detail if you care to research further. If your characters are just on a romp through the countryside, chances are they are moving at a walk, trot, or canter/ lope.
The faster version of the canter/ lope, and fourth gait, is the gallop. The gallop is the fastest gait, and you've seen it before if you've ever seen a horse race. It is a four-beat gait, like the trot, but the pattern of footfall is different and there is a moment of suspension where all four feet are off the ground at the same time. If your characters are running away from someone on horseback, chances are they are galloping.
Some special concerns with the gallop though: most horses can't keep this gait up for more than a few miles. For novels set in periods where horses were working animals, this might be increased slightly because they would naturally be in better shape. For a horse living a cushy modern life, however, it's probably only a mile or two.
For the rider: the canter is probably, aside from the walk, the easiest gait to ride. The horse's back takes on a swaying, rocking-horse motion that is spaced out much more than the trot and allows the rider to sit it much more easily. The gallop is similarly easy for an experienced rider, however, for a beginner it's probably the most difficult psychologically due to the speed-- up to 35/40 mph depending on the breed and physical condition of the horse. A rider may also have to hollow their back, or lean forward and sit up out of the saddle to ride the gallop rather than being seated normally.
There you have it! Any questions?

This is so helpful. I know just enough about horses to sound stupid in a conversation. Since I had a couple o pseudonymous writing projects in the western genre and since I one day hope to own horses, this is great. I had the basic sequence down, but the details are very helpful.ReplyDelete
Interesting stuff. I feel the need to add a horse into my WIP!ReplyDelete
I love love this...as a devoted fan of horses (but poorly educated in terminology, etc.) this is a great resource. Moar, I say, MOAR.ReplyDelete

Welcome Spring! You've been on my mind so much lately...It's about time you finally came around. I even went to the store today intending to pick up some flowers to celebrate your arrival...but was gently reminded just how much bouquets can cost this time of year in Minnesota. Drag.
So instead I planned to treat myself to a lil' somethin from the new Liberty of London line at Target. All of those vintage floral prints had me at hello. Judging from all the buzz in blogland, I'm apparently not the only girl who is head-over-heels obsessed with the new blooms either. Please don't laugh, but I seriously wandered around the store hunting for every end cap and flowery display, trying to decide what one thing I needed most. Ok, laugh. That was ridiculous. I just could not get enough!!Though I would happily have bought it all, I settled on this, my own loose interpretation of aforementioned flowers, something I can really justify putting money into. (Ouch, that was lame!) All of its floral splendor spurred a thorough spring cleaning in my purse. While tossing receipts and wiping out Cheerio dust were long overdue, they were not nearly as overdue as swapping the wallet itself. You see, I'd had the same boring brown leather one since high school (embarrassing) and it was high high time to appoint its replacement.
Three cheers for the new pretty pansies in my purse.

Totally know what you mean. I ended up getting, oh about one of everything, and then getting home and realizing that our little 2-bedroom apartment really didn't need the same print in every single room. So, much of it went back. But, my favorite splurge was the lampshades which now greet me each morning as my dh and I awake. Swoon. :)

CHEMTRAILS over KAPAHI this morning

There were hedges running the length of our driveway. This photo was after we did a major trimming job on them, they were so overgrown and a huge mess. The white building behind them is our neighbors garage. The hedges were a great privacy barrier but they grew into the driveway, were always dropping piles of leaves in the driveway making a huge mess everyday and when the car was in the driveway you couldn't get into the passenger side because the hedges prevented you from opening the door. Also the way the bricks had been placed allowed weeds to constantly grow in between them and it was really difficult to pull them out. It just looked like a big mess all the time. So we decided to hire someone to come remove the hedges.
After the hedges were removed this area was even more sad looking for awhile. We pulled up all the bricks with plans to reuse them.
Next we laid down a weed barrier and then we added a gravel base on top and tamped that all down.
After the gravel base was laid down we poured a layer of sand on top and tamped that down. Next we started laying down the bricks and used a mallet to set them into the sand.
Once the bricks were laid we swept sand into the cracks which keeps the bricks from moving around. It's really solid, those bricks aren't going anywhere!
This is the final outcome. It was just the perfect amount of width we needed!
We continued this process all the way up to the garage. We are really happy with the result! I love the added detail of the brick edging.
Next was the fun part, planting! This area gets a lot of sun and it was really important to us that it didn't require a lot of watering. First we needed to address the privacy issue that removing the hedges caused.
When we removed the hedges it uncovered our neighbors garage window which looks almost right into our dining room window. We wanted to screen this window. First our neighbors painted their garage to match the rest of their house since they were never able to do that when the hedges were there. Once they completed the painting we constructed this wire trellis and planted White Star Jasmine which will grow along the wires and eventually cover the entire side of their garage including the window. We can't wait for it to start blooming, White Star Jasmine has the most wonderful scent!
I choose to fill in the rest of the area with a combination of pony tail grass and succulents, filling in the remaining area with a pretty rock mulch which will help maintain moisture in the soil, block out weeds and won't break down like wood mulch.
To the right is our neighbors driveway. They decided to lay brick down too and I think it looks great! Where the post is they plan on building a little fence to cover up their trash cans. I haven't planted much right behind it yet because I'm going to wait for them to finish this fence so the plants don't get trampled. Once they complete that project I will add a few more of the grass and succulents, right now it looks a little disconnected,
Next we plan on doing the same brick work on the other side of the driveway along with similar plantings. It was hard work but the result was worth it! Plus no more stepping in mud in my heels when I get out of the car:)

Michigan's The Black Dahlia Murder have been a prolific new school death metal act since 2003's awesome Unhallowed album. Deflorate is their fourth full length album in 6 years. TBDM play frantic, Gothomburg-style death metal - very melodic and usually in that harmonic minor mode where it sounds ever so slightly gothic.
A big part of their sound is Trevor Strnad's dual vocals - one witch-style, and one guttural. I prefer his lower voice, and he thankfully uses it more on this album than he did on the previous one. This style of death metal is very dependent on the guitars so Eschbach and Knight need to deliver, and for the most part, they do.
What made Unhallowed so successful, was that it was stocked with $1000 riffs. Their next 2 albums came off as rather uninspired and somewhat redundant. Deflorate improves on this by stepping up the quality of the writing. There is still some moments where it feels like the same thing over and over, and the main reason for that is the unrelenting breakneck tempo of everything. It's either blast-beats or assault-grade double-bass on the drums. Granted, it's a death metal staple, but they could stand with a little variation once in awhile.
TBDM are consistently competent and effective in their strangely European style of death metal. Deflorate does not match the strength of their debut, but it improves on what I felt were two mediocre releases in between. It gets a 3 out of 5.

In light of the parties' upcoming settlement conference, the Court issues the following order on the pending motion. The Court notes that this appears to be a case where the interests of both parties might best be served by meaningful settlement discussions. A full Memorandum Opinion and Order will be issued in the near future.
Based on the files, record, and proceedings herein, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

Tanner graduated this year from 8th grade. He will be going to high school at Perry County Central. I am excited for him. He will have so much fun, hopefully not to much. He has signed up for honor's classes. I will probably be getting another high school education helping him with Honor's English. He did not want to take this class. I wanted him to. I figured the best teachers taught these classes and they would end up being easier because the teachers would explain the work better. He is away at basketball camp right now at Georgetown College. I wish Jon or I or someone was with him. He has called me four time since he left this morning at 8:00. Oh well, I am sure he will be fine.
God Bless,
