It's accepted wisdom that when visiting somewhere you should eat in the place with the most locals, and by that standard Seven is a surefire hit.
The homely cafe on Arbroath High Street is always a bustling hub of humanity offering a tasty range of dishes, breakfasts, light bites and main courses as well as fresh coffee, tea and baked goods.
We were glad to have reserved a table, and we would recommend that at peak times this would be a good idea to avoid disappointment, but we would also say that the calibre of the food justifies waiting the short while it takes for a table to become free.
The staff were particularly helpful and friendly, and our waitress did not hesitate to make recommendations and obviously knew the dishes very well - always a good sign.
My companion opted for the Seven Special Creamy Chicken Wrap on our waitress's suggestion while I liked the sound of the Yellow Split Pea soup and a good old fashioned cheese and ham toastie.
The wrap when it came was enormous, stuffed to the gunwales with tender chicken, peppers, onions and mushrooms all smothered in a creamy Cajun sauce with just the right amount of bite.
A fresh side salad and crunchy chips accompanied the dish which ultimately defeated the determined diner.
The soup was full of flavour, light and filling at the same time, and I probably didn't need the whole of the toastie that I ordered with it. Seven's soup and a sandwich deal for £3 would be more than enough to keep the wolf from the door until tea time.
The toastie also came with a side salad and a creamy, crunchy coleslaw which was immediately added into the sandwich mix.
The cheese was just the right side of melted, not face-threateningly runny, and there was a pleasing lack of grease which meant my toastie did not disintegrate as I ate.
We topped off with tea and coffee; my companion, who can be a bit choosy about her leaves, was very impressed with the tea and my black coffee was strong and full-bodied.
Overall, we were very impressed with the food, the service and the general ambience of the place, and it was nice to see that increasingly rare event, the chef coming out to check with his customers that all was well.

Today I watched as four cowardly dolphin trainers were brought to the Cove in a skiff. Their heads were covered and their faces were turned away from our cameras. Two dolphins were selected for a life of captivity and the slaughter of the remaining dolphins began in the presence of the dolphin trainers.
I was angry at the dolphin trainers and the dolphin hunters, but I must redirect my outrage. Anyone who attends a show with dolphins and whales is keeping the killers of Taiji in business. The price of dolphin meat is so low that the dolphin hunters would be out of business if it were not for the live dolphin trade.
Please tell everyone you know not to patronize any business that has captive whales or dolphins. It is a matter of supply and demand. If we eliminate the demand for captive dolphins, the slaughter in Taiji will stop.
Yes, be angry at the dolphin killers of Taiji, but please be equally outraged with the aquariums and amusement parks AND their patrons. They have blood on their hands.
For the Oceans,
Fishermen install a new sign that says dolphins and whales are their property

True Love
My love is strong my love is true,
It lasts as long as a lifetime or two.
My love is so much like a rose,
In how that it comforts and how that it grows.
My love is so much like a river,
In how that it makes your heart quiver [shiver].
It winds and it turns and it moves all about,
It's loud and it's clear and it's pure and it's stout.
My love for you multiplies by each day
I thank God that you showed me the way.

Flavors of Forysth!
Congratulations to the event planners for the First Annual Flavors of Forsyth! Over 10,000 "Forsyth-ens" enjoyed over 30 restaurants, fun entertainment and crafts at the fun festival last Thursday. The event, held at the attractive open-air Avenues of Forysth, benefited the United Way of Forsyth. I had the pleasure of being one of the judges for the cooking competition - and what a job I had! Almost 40 different entries from appetizers to desserts. (Check out the wowza pie platter in front of us in the photo.) We managed to pick 4 winners from the 4 categories - but it was a tough job. Bre, Amy, Mark and I achieved at least a taste from every single beautiful plate - sighing over the fact we couldn't finish.

Saint Joseph's Heart Day for Women
Last Saturday, some caring folks from Saint Joseph's Hospital's Heart Center for Women held a wonderful event at Saint Joseph's Mercy Services downtown. Free cardiac screening and lots of great information for participants – including yoga, nutritional counseling, a fun Zumba class and a cooking class from yours truly. I am passing on a recipe from the class for an easy and power-nutrient-packed summer dish that is easy to fix, and the whole family will enjoy. Try adding chopped zucchini or yellow squash during the summer when it is plentiful, or even a couple of roasted red peppers for a little zing. The Heart Center for Women located in Dunwoody provides an incredible array of services for screening and education about our hearts. You can check it out at http://www.saintjosephsatlanta.org

FAST FOOD FACT Quinoa (Keen-wah), tonight. Revered by the Incas as the "mother grain" it is actually a seed from the Goosefoot plant. Sold in the U.S. only since the mid-eighties, it has a mild nutty flavor that is a great background for strong bold flavors - like smoked paprika, lemon juice and garlic. Try substituting Quinoa for Couscous in some of your recipes!

Fun in Portland at the IACP Conference

Here's some of the fun pictures from the street food culture in downtown - food from around the world is eaten and enjoyed from
carts parked all over the city. Wendy, Rebecca and I stopped on Saturday afternoon for a quick snack from the incredible offerings. We ate the world: a Vietnamese Spring Roll, a Gyro from Greece and a yummy Pesto Grilled Cheese Sandwich, a fusion of Italian and American cuisine. To celebrate the time we had together, I am sharing an easy and delicious pesto that you can use to top a sandwich, a cracker or a bowl of steaming hot whole-wheat pasta!

1 Cup Mint Leaves, Packed
Zest of 1 Lemon
¾ Cup Toasted Walnuts
½ Cup Grated Pecorino Romano

Originally I was going to post a review on "Catch-22" today and, instead, find myself not having finished the book as yet. Now, since I can't very well review a book that I haven't read from cover to cover I am instead posting a review on a book I just finished reading. I know it's another Rand book but I hope you'll take the time to read it and, if you feel so inclined after my words- check out the book yourself!
(I swear- next week I'll post a review on "Catch-22"! I will finish it… I will finish it…)
The year is 1922; Lenin is in power, the red party the new regime, and the ruling class is even more brutal than the Czars that came before. It is the rise of the proletariat, the working class. There is no private property- only state, only government. Every aspect of life is kept track of: ration cards are dispensed to everyone. Students get slightly more than the "non-working" citizen, union workers and party members being given the most. Should you not have a party member in your family the only way to make up any shortage of food was to pay private traders or, most often, smugglers that are bringing food in and selling it on the black market.
It is in this world we first meet our protagonists: Kira, an eighteen year old, fresh from Crimea- her family having fled St. Petersburg (Petrograd) years before when her father, a textile factory owner, was stripped of his business and home; Leo, a student of philosophy that is being sought out by the GPU (military) because his father was a counter-revolutionary; Andrei, a party member, a revered member of the GPU and a student at the Institute where Kira is studying engineering.
Kira and Leo are both individuals within the state; they want only to study what they would like, to learn what they deem necessary and to do so for no other reason than because it is what they want. Both with bourgeoisie roots their food supply is limited by their student status and what is left of any earnings after paying taxes to the party and its various programs. Their life together, as fraught with struggle as it is, is something they both hold dear and unto themselves. When Leo refuses to donate several hours after work to free instructional sessions for "the good of the State" he loses his job and they find themselves in a desperate situation where each lies to the other in hopes their partner, their love, will eat the only food they have. One such instance of this is when Leo is standing in line at a co-op at the University:
Leo said to the clerk behind the counter, trying to make his voice pleading and making it only wooden, expressionless: "Comrade clerk, would you mind if I tear next week's coupon off, too? I'll keep it and present it to you for my bread next week. You see, I have…there's someone at home and I want to tell her that I got a two weeks' ration and ate my half on the way home, so that she'll eat all of this piece…Thank you, comrade."
In one short paragraph Rand shows us the desperation, the horror and the drive to support those we hold most dear through any means we have at our disposal. Leo and Kira, living together, do everything they can to insure survival of the other person but when they are both thrown from their institutions of learning because of their family history the situation becomes even more desperate. "Non-workers" and non-students get the smallest rations because they don't contribute to the party and, at this point, it is all but impossible to gain employment without party or union status (union status only obtained if you're working).
As Kira meets her friend Andrei for tea, him being a party member that can afford such things, he discovers how deprived she is and takes it upon himself to use his status to get her a job. His devotion to her, in this moment, seems to over ride that of his party as he gives her all his money so she might buy food. He stays devoted to her in his friendship, in his affection until one day he disappears from her life. It is only through Kira's persistence and desperation over Leo's newly affirmed dire medical situation that the two are reconciled and Andrei confesses his love.
The story progresses, taking the reader further into the love each of our protagonists experience as well as others but, perhaps more overwhelmingly, this book depicts the struggle for life. It is a struggle that does not just occur for those now being penalized for having "non-worker" roots, but for those that fought for the right to live for all people. Those that wanted to see an end to czarist oppression and bring about a new form of liberty in their country; the people that believed in the doctrine of Marx, of Lenin's view for their country. The people that realized they formed a society, not for everyone, but for those in power and those willing to do anything to secure it, were then faced with the weighted guilt of killing so many outright, and even more by continuing to aid the monstrosity that was Lenin's, then Stalin's, regime.
This was Ayn Rand's first novel and the beginning of her journey into the founding of "Objectivism". Originally published in 1937 under the assumption it would not make any money but simply a work that needed to be published it is, most assuredly, a book that many should read. Through a gut wrenching portrayal of life in the USSR that Rand refers to as somewhat autobiographical, she shows the danger of those that seek to control others, to dictate how best to live, and how far and tragic having faith in a person to uphold your view can be.
The writing is a bit rough in some areas, some of the point of view shifts take you away from the story and emotion, but is still excellent. Unlike some of her later works this book is chock full of humanity and human characters- those you can relate to and believe in their existence only making it all the eerier. Her descriptions of the hunger, the sights and smell of the city as well as the outright fear of tuberculosis and of thinking are so poignant I often found myself weeping for the characters and thinking gratefully of my stores of food in the kitchen. I couldn't recommend this novel enough- if for no other reason than the copious amounts of information bestowed upon us by a woman that lived through this time period in Russia. It is not the best novel I've ever read for all the reasons I mentioned above but I have yet to come across its equal in regard to historical accuracy, information as well as emotional poignancy.

Tips on identifying a young child bitten by a Lycanthrope (Werewolf):
1: If he/she has a diabolical craving for certain crunchy dog treats
2: If he/she is growing a premature beard…All over his/her body. Alternative: If he/she takes mysterious bathroom breaks on every full moon that last for hours.
3: If he/she needs a good scratch on the chin before you can give him/her his/her milk bottle.
4: If he/she visits www.howtobakeahumaninabigol'quiche.com, all the time.
5: If he/she is found buried in Baking pachyderms: A beginners guide.
Tips on controlling your average werewolf victim:
1: Lock him/her in a padded room every full moon. Suggestion: Ignore calls for bathroom breaks, despite the inevitable consequences.
2: Go to your window, open it, and scream until you sprain both lungs. Hey it worked for Jack Bubdy! Except…He had a brain tumor, and a bullet wound. In his cranium. Persistent chap wasn't he…
3: Find the werewolf responsible. And threaten that you'll shove its head in a particularly grimy commode until he comes up with the non-existent cure.
4: Abandon the house, burn it to the ground, then put it out. Then light it again, the smash it with a crane,
then empty a crate of quiche on it.
A few choice advisory tactics on how to identify a young vampire victim:
1: If he/she resembles a man liken unto a can of Mayonnaise, white as a ghost, sickly as an American!
2: If his/her room is piled with books with titles such as The Bloodsucking manual: A failsafe guide to draining victims and The Nocturnes Guide to household Hors D'oevres.
3: A sure sign is him/her cremating some particularly pungent shish kebabs.
4: If you catch him/her singing a song known simply as Pop goes the jugular vein.
How to peg those who've been bitten by a Vampire:
1: Bake him in a garlic soufflé. Unusual, but effective.
2: Make him watch Dracula, over, and over, and over. How this helps I am yet to understand.
3: Take him camping, make him set up the tent, which has a mysteriously abundant source of homing stakes.
4: We apologize. But the man who was supposed to write this tip was eaten.
We hope you have enjoyed this masterfully written piece of pure art. And we hope you will use these tips to identify your neighborhood monsters. Except that one about dumping quiche on ruins. The source of that particular one is in the midst of complete cranial meltdown.

#BehindtheTablet: CJ's Bright Future
Everyone knows at least one young person wise beyond their years, and at the same time I'm sure each of us also knows someone in their 30s or 40s who is more like a high schooler, in attitude and actions.
One of the goals of rehabilitation- and trauma-informed corrections is ideally getting someone who has found themselves on the path of being in that later group to join the ranks of those who have grown and considered their place in the world. Montgomery Reentry facility is doing this work every day, and it shows.
The growth that Cyril Jr. had achieved in his time at Montgomery was apparent with the way that LSW and head of reentry services Kendra Jochum interacted with him.
"You never used to talk like this," "you've made real progress on that;" all of her comments spoke to a past CJ that neither of us would ever know. Someone who came into the reentry facility, into the correctional system, brash and unapologetic. Someone who wasn't ready to see the work necessary in himself. Someone who'd rather say "no" or get around the rules instead of going the long, boring slow path.
"When I first came I wasn't the same person I am now," CJ said. "I was a little wild, rowdy, and stuff like that, was always getting written up, getting in trouble."
But that wasn't the CJ that I met that day — the CJ I met took time to answer questions thoughtfully. He didn't blink or look away when he admitted wrongdoing and wrong thinking. He didn't create excuses as imagined responses to his father's words "You're not ready" to take over the family HVAC business.
Where did this change come from? Certainly some growth can be explained by perspective that almost every person gains as they age into adulthood. But more was at play here.
"I really do feel like I matured in here. When I was out there I was taking life as a joke. I wasn't really taking my life seriously until I ended up in here. And I actually sat there and thought, 'Yeah, this is what my mom was talking about,'" he said.
"There's times when you do feel stressed out, and sadness will hit out of nowhere, because you're lonely. You don't have any family members in here with you. You can't talk to them when you want. You can't see them when you want. You ain't going to wake up in the morning and be like, 'Good morning, mom. Good morning, dad.'"
He also has two siblings – a twelve year old brother and a six year old sister – who haven't seen him in years.
"That's my heart," he says of his youngest sibling. "Every time I talk to her on the phone, even though she be ignoring my calls and hanging up on me, that's my heart. Every time I talk to her on the phone, I could be in the worst mood but when I talk to her I actually do melt down, start calming down."
Getting back to his family and feeling that absence are great motivators for CJ's progress, but he reminds us that he's added things to his life while in Montgomery that never had a place before, and that's also helped prop him up.
While incarcerated, CJ started reading more than he ever had in his life. Who is he reading a lot of these days? James Patterson. Avid book nerds and grocery checkout line skimmers alike will recognize that name. Patterson is a powerhouse of the crime novel genre, known as much for his rapid release pace (about a book a month, helped along by his many co-authors) as his novels' movielike pacing.
"My celly always went, 'Oh, I got James Patterson.' I'm like, 'I don't like that. I want to read a comic book.' Then I actually sat down one night, actually read it. I'm, 'Oh, yeah, Imma really read all of this.'
It's a big book, but it takes me three nights to finish, three days to finish it, about 400 and some pages.
For me that's a big milestone, because I'm really used to small, thin books. I don't really like reading. Then I actually read one of them.
"Okay, look, I'm going to start reading more."
The next day, CJ checked out five Patterson titles, and his breakneck reading shows no signs of slowing down.
Also in his time at Montgomery Reentry, CJ has studied for and passed the GED. When we talked to him, he was prepping for a release date that he kept secret. (It's not unheard of for other inmates, especially troublemakers, to try and ruin a guy's chance at release by picking fights in the month or weeks leading up to their date.)
But CJ had his eyes on the prize – his release date, his GED score and a boring life? That sounds perfect.
"That first month when I get home I know, — well, first I've got to wait for my scores to come in from my GED result. Then, I'm going to lay back. People are really not even going to recognize I'm home. Unless you come knocking on my door, 'Was he even here?' You're not going to really see me like that. You might run into me at the store, but at the end of the day, 'Hi, bye, that's it,' he says, painting a laidback life of catching up with the parents and siblings he hasn't seen in years.
"I'm done with the lifestyle that I used to live. I've come a long way. I've been at this since I was 15. I turned 20 last month."
"But at the end of the day, you got to learn from your mistakes, and that's what I did," he said with a smile. "When I get out there, I'm actually stick to my mindset, stick to my goals and actually try to make it in life, because I learned it's not too late for me."

The best Side of Web Design Phoenix[one] The time period World wide web design is Generally utilised to describe the design procedure referring to the entrance-stop (consumer side) design of a web site which includes crafting mark up. World wide web design partially overlaps web engineering during the broader scope of Website progress. Web designers are predicted to get an recognition of usability and when their role includes generating mark up then Also they are expected to become updated with World wide web accessibility guidelines.
In 1996, Microsoft introduced its initial competitive browser, which was comprehensive with its very own features and tags. It had been also the main browser to support type sheets, which at enough time was viewed as an obscure authoring technique.[five] The HTML markup for tables was at first meant for displaying tabular info. Nonetheless designers speedily understood the prospective of utilizing HTML tables for generating the sophisticated, multi-column layouts that were usually not possible. At the moment, as design and good aesthetics appeared to choose priority above superior mark-up composition, and tiny notice was compensated to semantics and World wide web accessibility.
This doesn't mean that much more significant articles couldn't be enhanced with animated or video clip displays that is certainly pertinent on the material. In either circumstance, motion graphic design could make the distinction between more practical visuals or distracting visuals.
This contains errors in code, far more organized layout for code, and ensuring IDs and classes are discovered adequately. Inadequately-coded webpages are occasionally colloquially named tag soup. Validating by way of W3C[7] can only be carried out when an accurate DOCTYPE declaration is made, and that is made use of to highlight mistakes in code. The technique identifies the errors and parts that don't conform to Internet design requirements. This information and facts can then be corrected with the consumer.[14]
Advanced interactive functions may perhaps need plug-ins if not Highly developed coding language techniques. Selecting whether or not to implement interactivity that requires plug-ins is usually a crucial choice in consumer working experience design. If the plug-in would not appear pre-mounted with most browsers, there is a threat the user will have neither the know how or perhaps the patience to set up a plug-in only to accessibility the written content. In case the function demands Sophisticated coding language competencies, it may be far too highly-priced in both time or income to code in comparison to the level of enhancement the function will include to your person practical experience.
Since the start in the 21st century the net happens to be Progressively more integrated into peoples lives. As this has took place the technological know-how of the world wide web has also moved on. There have also been significant adjustments in just how men and women use and obtain the world wide web, which has modified how web-sites are designed.
Very careful consideration may very well be made in order that the aesthetics or Total design of a internet site usually do not clash with the clarity and accuracy from the content material or the ease of web navigation,[9] Specially on a B2B Site. Designers might also look at the name of the owner or company the internet site is symbolizing to be sure These are portrayed favourably.
Dynamic Web-sites are generated over the fly and use server-facet know-how you could try these out to crank out webpages. They generally extract their articles from a number of again-end databases: some are database queries across a relational database to question a catalogue or to summarise numeric info, Other individuals may well make use of a document databases including MongoDB or NoSQL to retail store greater units of written content, including blog site posts or wiki posts.
Usability experts, which includes Jakob Nielsen and Kyle Soucy, have typically emphasised homepage design for Web page achievements and asserted the homepage is the most important web page on an internet site.[16][17][eighteen][19] On the other hand practitioners into your 2000s ended up starting to realize that a escalating quantity of Site site visitors was bypassing the homepage, heading straight to inside articles pages by means of engines like google, e-newsletters and RSS feeds.
Internet marketing and interaction design on an internet site may perhaps discover what performs for its goal industry. This may be an age team or unique strand of tradition; Consequently the designer may perhaps have an understanding of the traits of its viewers. Designers can also understand the type of Web site they are designing, meaning, as an example, that (B2B) business-to-organization Web site design concerns might vary significantly from the customer specific Web page such as a retail or amusement Web page.
In 1989, even though Performing at CERN Tim Berners-Lee proposed to make a world wide hypertext project, which later on became often called the World Wide Web. Throughout 1991 to 1993 the Internet was born. Textual content-only pages can be considered applying a simple line-method browser.[two] In 1993 Marc Andreessen and Eric Bina, produced the Mosaic browser. At enough time there were many browsers, nonetheless nearly all of them were Unix-dependent and Normally text major. There were no built-in approach to graphic design aspects like illustrations or photos or Appears. The Mosaic browser broke this mould.[three] The W3C was established in Oct 1994 to "guide the Web to its entire potential by creating prevalent Get More Information protocols that advertise its evolution and ensure its interoperability."[four] This discouraged Anyone company from monopolizing a propriety browser and programming language, which could have altered the outcome of your Web in general.
World-wide-web designers use a variety of different tools determined by what A part of the creation system They may be involved with. These resources are up to date eventually by more recent requirements and application though the concepts at the rear of them remain the identical. Website designers use both vector and raster graphics editors to make Internet-formatted imagery or design prototypes.
They may also provide internet pages a lot more quickly, on reduced-Value server hardware. These edge grew to become less important as cheap Hosting expanded to also offer dynamic functions, and Digital servers supplied superior functionality for short intervals at low price.
Since the conclusion from the browsers wars[when?] new browsers are released. A lot of these are definitely open resource that means that they have an inclination to have more rapidly enhancement and tend to be more supportive of new specifications. The new possibilities are viewed as by quite a few[weasel text] to get much better than Microsoft's Online Explorer.
Throughout 1998 Netscape unveiled Netscape Communicator code underneath an open source licence, enabling thousands of builders to be involved in strengthening the application. Nonetheless, they made a decision to get started from the beginning, which guided the event on the open up supply browser and shortly expanded to a whole software platform.[5] The online Benchmarks Venture was fashioned and promoted browser compliance with HTML and CSS expectations by making Acid1, Acid2, and Acid3 assessments.

Can a person make a ministry session appointment with Ed Smith?
Because Ed Smith is currently committed to training others and developing the Theophostic training materials, he is not offering personal ministry now nor in the near future. He also does not make any recommendations or referrals for others offering ministry. No person offering ministry is presently doing ministry under Ed Smith's leadership, oversight or in relation or connection with him. Since every person who completes the Basic and/or Advanced Material receives only a certificate of completion, any person who claims to be related to, endorsed by, recommended by or affiliated with Dr. Ed M. Smith and/or New Creation Publishing is doing so without his knowledge.
If you are seeking personal ministry please follow the suggestions in the

...dirty little feet...
run through this cluttered little apartment
and grubby little hands
leave behind smudged spoons and chipped glasses
until there is nothing left to drink from but cloudy measuring cups.
loud little voices
holler and fuss and fight and shriek
and leave toys and socks and crayons
littered about ...
my living room an overgrown battlefield
after they're long asleep.
dirty little feet
slide around in a slick little tub--
washing away the tears and the sighs and the battles
that i won and that i didn't win

Nov. 23rd Update
I know, I know, I have been awful at updating the blog. I hope you can forgive me. Liliana is awesome. She is now 4lbs 15.6oz and on her way to 5lbs. The last few weeks have been very busy and I have had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Lili. She is eating about 60cc's or 2oz every feeding. Guess what, Liliana gets to get out of the hospital on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, if all goes well. I am going to stay at the hospital overnight tomorrow for a trial run of everything. I am so excited. Everything has been so amazing. When I first got here I couldn't imagine having to stay in Texas for two to three months. Now I am about a week or so away from going home to Wisconsin. I have met such amazing people while here and feel as if I have not only friends but family here in Texas. It is going to be hard to leave but happy as well. So much emotion and so little time. I would like to send out a quick list of people who have had a huge part in our journey. I am grateful to everyone for all your prayers and support. If I don't list you here it is simply because I can't list everyone. There have been a huge number of people who have gotten Dan and I through this. Thanks a bunch. So here is the list: God, Guy and Sue, John and Nina, Brad, Jodi and Kailyn, Staci, Adam and Adrienne, Dan and Cynthia, Sarah G., Martine, Rosalind, Erin, Felicia, Genny, Benton, Kathrine, Mamay, Mette, The YaYa's. Thanks for loving us and supporting us through this all.

Nov. 4th Update
Today was an awesome day for baby and me. We had fun doing kangaroo care like always and then when it came to bottle feeding time Liliana did great. She ate 16cc's out of her 27cc's and I didn't have the nurses helping me today. It felt good to be able to feed my girl by myself and have her do so well. I am finding that I learn new things everyday. She is also growing very well. She is now up to 3lbs 6oz. She is on her way out the hospital as long as she keeps up the great work. I am a proud Mommy for sure.

November 1 Liliana
Here is another great video of Liliana. She has grown so much. She is now 3lbs 3oz and 16in long. This is the way I will be putting the videos on from now on at least until I get back home. Don't worry about the other videos just the ones with Liliana in them. The other videos are of the family I am staying with and they are their videos. I am the happiest mother I could be to have my baby girl doing so well.

A wonderful friend from the small dutch village of hengevelde (he obviously made his way out) gave me the hint to check out the video below, while we were amongst other beautiful people counting satellites on one of these easy summer nites when a lot seems possible. to prevent getting lost in the background story – enjoy the rather passionate attempt of a share of hengevelde's population to perform episodes of (hell, yes), the A-TEAM, the all eighties' classical. i know some friends who wouldn't mind more re-enactment in everyday life; but more than that these sequences are plain hilarious. pop culture's frankness will never be exhausted, like that amount of stuff falling from the sky this very nite. there's space to play left, actually the hengevelde version of the A-TEAM is exactly as dodgy as its role model. geniet – and don't forget: "If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team."

I recently got a heads up on an artist called Kutiman, do you know this guy? He's been getting some heavy press from Straight No Chaser, Giles Petterson, the guys at Dusty Groove in Chi Town, Diplo and more. The thing is none of that matters 'cos Kutiman is undeniably one of the great new talents to walk the earth. He is 25, from Tel Aviv, he plays most of the instruments on his self named album, he makes a fine hybrid of psychedelic Funk, spacey Afro & West Indies beats, Jazz, & Latin Disco set in timeless modern grooves, it's almost impossible to believe one's ears, and is certainly not easy to describe. The album came out on Melting Pot Music toward the end of '07 and by then the material was already two years old, he says in an interview that he'd 'just returned from a visit to Jamaica and this was me trying to escape to outer space'... The album is Spacey with a capital S, every track trips out further into funk galaxies and far flung groove stations, it's bliss to these ears. I'm quiet certain that space grooves are what drives me and connects a bunch of sounds here on a.n.o.e., Kutiman just takes it to another level and quiet remarkably hadn't heard of Dexter Wansel who he seems to channel with ridiculous ease. He definitely knows a little Fela Kuti and James Brown, but none of this helps you hear the amazing quality and diversity of his sound. If u don't know Kutiman, you need to get his album (Which u can do here plus if you look around u may still find a copy on vinyl or CD), also check out his myspace for further tracks and more info... 'No Reason For You' is probably my favourite track with it's psyched out slo mo groove, so thats the one I'm gonna give you, it's a soaring delight. That said I think 'Chaser' is also an instant classic, very deep, very cosmic, very beautiful and several others follow quickly behind....

story time
She took GCSE'S early and passed them and managed to achieve 16 GCSE'S only one of which was a grade C all the rest were A'S & B's.
Even though she has worked hard she has always lacked confidence,always thinks she is going to fail.
A levels for this young lady were difficult she was off school for months when she broke her ankle and didn't get much support from school resulting in missing a practical exam which couldn't be rescheduled until next school year.So the thought of picking up her exams results sent her into a blind panic as she was convinced she had failed.This conviction that she had failed made her change her mind on her future.University was ruled out and apprenticeships were applied for.Her cv is very impressive along with awards at work.She was called for an interview and said she couldn't decide how she had come across.Well guess what she got it a years apprenticeship with an NVQ (2 a levels) at the end of it.
Today she did go for her results or rather i did.They were opened as i drove and then the tears came....
She had passed them.Geography and Phycology .I had every faith in her as i knew she had worked hard. If school hadn't of cancelled her last practical and said she had to do it during the next school year and just let her do it we would be looking at 3 passes but we wont dwell on that.
So moral and end of this story is believe in yourself like i believe in you.
Jade you have made me and always have made me very proud.

Ah that's excellent news. Well done Jade. You must be very proud xReplyDelete
Wonderful! Congratulations, Jade!ReplyDelete
brilliant! well done Jade.ReplyDelete
Huge Congratulations to Jade. Schools make me so mad how they don't support their students, it's somebody's life we're talking about here, yet they just don't seem to understand how important these things are. I firmly believe that things happen for a reason though, so Jade is probably better off doing what she's doing. Apprenticeships are so hard to come by these days so there'll have been lots of people after it and she must have given a fantastic interview. The A levels are the icing on the cake. I can understand why you're very proud of her.ReplyDelete
Great news!ReplyDelete
Fantastic news, well done to Jade.ReplyDelete
The greatest thing to learn in life is to have confidence in yourself. To believe you can do what you set out to do and to always stretch yourself to do a little bit more. I hope that by doing so well and achieving what she has achieved Jade will come to realise this at a younger age than so many of us do.
If YOU believe in yourself others will as well.

BUHAY KA: Struggles in Mortality, Glimpses of Eternity by Fr. Robert Reyes
"Buhay ka! You are alive! I am alive! We are alive now and in faith, we believe that we will live with God forever!
The impulse to live resists the opposite impulse to die (Thanatos). Hope struggles against despair. Light struggles against darkness.
Only those who have had the opportunity to struggle appreciate the meaning of survival. Only those who have had the experience of surviving a struggle, in whatever form, know the meaning of hope.
My years in Hong Kong, as an Overseas Filipino Worker were colorful and eventful. The lives of fellow OFWs have given me a deeper and richer appreciation of the essence of both faith and culture in a context alien, sometimes hostile yet rich in positive challenges to an outsider. It is in such a context, in life lives in a second home called Hong Kong that I write this book with and for those who shared their struggles for hope, life, and meaning."

* It's already snowing in UTAH!!!!!!!!!!! Say what?
*I've been dieting. I HATE it. I always cheat. Made the mistake of not weighing myself before I started the diet so I don't know if I've lost any weight. On top of everything, I don't dare trying on any of my pants for the fear of being disappointed and becoming even GRUMPIER! My poor kids…
* I miss working out. Where we live, people LOVE to have children and because there are so many kids, the schools are overcrowded. So the schools hold this year-round-education system to accommodate as many students as possible. My kids go to school in the summer (that's another story I would not get into) and they are off track now in October (of all months). I can't afford to pay the gym daycare for ALL of them. I MISS WORKING OUT!
* Not knowing if it's really true that a certain person wouldn't get a text back from me where I am confirming to her that I would babysit her children. Her kids never showed up. I have a feeling she just forgot to tell me plans had changed and made up the excuse that she never heard back from me. I ended up missing an hour more of sleep.
* Old boyfriend (s), notice the S, requesting my friendship on facebook. I'm nice but shall I be THAT nice?
* Amor's birthday. I had a sleepless night decorating the house and making him a special gift. Pictures to come soon.
* I get to wear BOOTS today!
* Ever been to a masquerade ball? I'm going to one tomorrow, not even ready, haven't purchased the masks nor know where to get them, I don't want just any mask, I want something like this:
* My best friend fell from a long set of stairs bottom down. She broke her tailbone. Don't get me wrong, this is not a tragedy at all because even though she is in pain, she gets to make the whole town laugh by wearing this:
everywhere. she. goes. It's like seeing one of those bathtub rubber duckies with their floaties but alive. She even has their walk. (HA!)
* My daughter finally has a dancing partner. Hard to find a boy who gets interested in ballroom but this boy is awesome and comes from a line of pro dancers. His parents danced for the best, BYU of course! I can't wait to post some videos of those two.
* Off to decorate pumpkins with a pretty cool idea I got you know from where. I don't know how I survived for so long without Pinterest but anyhow never too late to have an awesome Pinterest-inspired day!
Link party coming up! It will be held every Tuesday starting October 18th. Remember this? Reflecting in the past is good, Living in the past- not so much. We will share our stories that made us who we are!
In honor of my 1 year anniversary as a blogger, I am having another amazing giveaway. Stay tuned! Details that same week of Oct 18th!

When shopping for a new bike, the best way to determine fit is to consult your local bike shop and take some test rides. Unfortunately, this is not always possible. When I purchased my Cross Check back in 2007, Surly had less of a presence than it does now. That meant none of the shops in my area had any in stock, much less one in my size. So, I had to try and figure out which size would work best for me. Throughout this process, I learned a few things that are useful in choosing the correct Cross Check.
The first thing to know is how they determine their frame size. Like most companies, Surly goes by seat tube length, and they use a "center to top" measurement. Be aware, however, that there are variations of this measurement. To some companies, "center to top" means from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat tube. In the case of Surly, the measurement is from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the top tube. So, the measurement does not include the portion of the seat tube which extends above the top tube. This actually makes a lot of sense, because there are arbitrary differences in length on this part of the seat tube from bike to bike. At any rate, adjustable seat posts make this part of the frame easily customizable, so it's more important to consider top tube length and standover height in order to obtain a proper fit. Standover is pretty easy to determine. While wearing your typical biking shoes, measure your inseam from floor to crotch, then select a frame that will give you at least an inch of clearance when straddling the bike with your feet flat on the ground. That brings us to top tube measurement. The Cross Check has a longer top tube than most bikes with road geometry. Because of this, some riders end up selecting a frame one size smaller than they would normally use. Keep in mind that handlebar reach is adjustable by selecting stems of different lengths. If your reach feels too cramped or too stretched out, try a shorter or longer stem before concluding that you chose the wrong size frame. Another factor which may influence your choice is your intended use. People who ride true cyclocross or a lot of trails might appreciate the extra standover clearance of a smaller frame, while those who ride mainly on pavement might want go bigger for a more traditional road fit.
There are a couple of other resources out there that are worth checking out. You can consult this handy spreadsheet to see which sizes other Surly riders have chosen. While it primarily consists of data on Long Haul Truckers, there are some Cross Check entries as well. Additionally, you can check out this post on the Surly website. It's not Cross Check specific, but it is a good primer on sizing.

I'm one of those Texans who gets quite perturbed when outsiders portray my great state with cows, boots, and spurs. Every single time American Idol has tryouts anywhere in Texas, they always start out with a vignette of the Ft. Worth Stockyards or a pasture, although they may be in the middle of Dallas or Houston. Dallas, in particular is a beautiful city, full of exuberant Southern style. Today, I was browsing D Magazine and came across a mesmerizing article on Kirby and Kari Schlegel. The Schlegels are Dallas' very own family dynasty and Kirby and Kari's penthouse at the W Hotel downtown is a work of art. Designed by Jan Showers, a Dallas-based genius of all that is glamorous and beautiful, it makes me long for my sassy downtown apartment....

"...And then up, slowly, then completely, they saw it all: winged, scaled, harsh beaked and coiling serpent neck - writhing and whip tail; hot breath - the dragon. From its mouth a ball of fire fell, down to the black waters, and then the whole pool lit up all in flame..." So goes one of the great perils Rudwin and his companions must face as they wage their quest into the heart of the Grogos Marsh; meeting dwarfs and roanes, evading giants, battling beasts - a journey through bleak woods and forbidding darkness, and all to find the Staff of Necramor, and return it to the sacred Vault on the Island of Ruin. But there is more to the quest than it first seems, and every step of the way they are watched by dark and baleful eyes...
That's how the blurb goes, but really, there's much more to it than that. A small piece of writing on the back only describes so much.
It says - 10 years in the making - and though that does sound a bit far-fetched, I can assure you it is no mad over exaggeration. But it has been a good ten years, and I have enjoyed writing the book! It's been a good jolly old journey, and I am just sad its over...
The History of the Legend
How it all began...
Why did I invent a fantasy world? Well, why not! I say. I know what you are thinking. Good grief! This particular genre is packed to the brim with invented worlds. I know, I have read my far share of fantasy novels, and I know there are plenty of good books of this sort out and about ready to be read.
But I don't think there should be an end to fantasy, and so here we have my contribution to this finest and most ancient and beloved field of story telling.
I was thirteen when I started fleshing out a fantasy world. And I can tell you now, with great confidence, it is still being fleshed out. Maps and history - it's all there, and still being worked on after all these years. It is a work that doesn't stop.
In 2000, or there about, The Legend of Rudwin was called - The Way of the Roads.
The hero of the story was the intrepid Yomo Milgun, who set out on a perilous journey across the land. It was one of the early attempts, on my behalf, to put all the ideas had created in the 90's into a story with true structure. I had invented a world, and now I had to have characters to roam it, and live in it, and discover it.
Even though the story was rightly criticized by friends and family, The Way of the Roads was published in 2005 - but when I looked back on that five year old story I realised that it was no good. It was written by an inexperienced hand, and I knew the writer had improved so much since those days, so I made the decision to scrap it... I withdraw the book from shops, and now it no longer exists! You might find scars of it in places on the internet, I believe it is mentioned somewhere on Amazon.co and com. But the Way of the Roads is no more!
The Legend of Rudwin had begun.
The Road to the Legend
When Rudwin met Hobbleweed...
In 2006 I totally re-wrote the Way of the Roads, word for word. It was basically the same story, but with an improved modern writing style, replacing the childish naive verse form I had used in the 90's period. I scrapped the re-written version, despite being over two hundred pages long, and it now now rests somewhere on my documents...
So I re-wrote it again! This time Yomo went through many of his great name changes - now he was called Robbin!
This strange new 2007 version of the way of the Roads featured the aptly named Robbin with a new set of fresh characters, not featured before, and this was the first time The Elurger made an appearance. The Elurger is an old 1990 character I invented in the old days, who I resurrected and reinvented. In the old days he was an odd peasant type character who never really did that much... But now he was a great fighter and leader, and leads the way of many great adventures. I also transformed Bolderdof, another old character from the 90s, from a typical "we've seen it all before" magician type character, into a wily reneged - and he would stay that way to present times!
Anyway, this 2007 version was immediately scrapped upon completion because I felt it was too serious, too long, and too descriptive. In 2008 I started again, and this was the first time we had the character, Hobbleweed. Hobbleweed was my attempt to add humour to what was otherwise a very serious and very dark tale. He's character would grow in the consequent years, but unlike Bolderdof and the Elurger, he is a relatively new character, and cannot be found in any of my pre 2000 work. This version was never completed, but when I began fresh work in 09, I re-used scraps from this forgotten 08 story. Robbin's named was changed to Rudwin (Rudwin was originally going to be a star of a different set of stories I started in 07 and then scrapped because they were rubbish) and I have stuck with this name to this day.
The book was finish at the end of 2009. It was called - The Way of the Roads - but in 2010 to avoid confusion with old published 2005 book, I changed it forever to The Legend of Rudwin. From 2010 to 11 I spent weeks journeying back into the story, cutting things out and adding things and amending any rough edges that I had overlooked. Virtually every word in the final version of the Legend has been considered. None of it is random, or placed in for padding. I like to maintain a fast pace, and will never use needless padding to make a book artificially larger.
I am writing a direct sequel to the Legend of Rudwin... But when it will be finished I cannot say!! I will not rush it, that is for certain; but I do know its title.
It will be called:
The Trials of Rudwin
The Sequel that Never Was
The Last King...
For those of you who kindly bought and read my 2005 Way of the Road Book, may remember, on the second page, mentioning of a sequel - The Last King. So, where is the sequel, you ask?
It is a sad business. With my fearsome removal of the Way of the Roads all production on the sequel nullified - in other words, came to a stop. The sequel, the last king, now rests in my draw, fully completed but in manuscript form. And it will stay that way, forever. But do not worry, you are certainly not missing out on anything... The Last King was a load of bunkum anyway.
Thank you for reading!

Taiwanese Shabu Shabu (涮涮鍋;Taiwanese: "Sha Sha Woh")
Shabu shabu originally came from Northeast China. In the 13th century, Genghis Khan used it as a cooking's method to feed the Mongol troops. The troops gathered around a large pot and put thinly sliced meat in the chafing dish. It's call "hot pot." Due to the Japanese armies seized Northeast part of China, Japanese bought "hot pot" back to Japan and changed the name as "Shabu Shabu." Since a lot of Japanese people live in Taiwan, thus Shabu Shabu becomes one of the popular foods for Taiwanese, and created her own flavors. The main ingredient of Japanese Shabu Shabu are beef, boy choy, mushroom, spinach (spinacia oleracea), Chinese onion, bean sprouts, Garland chrysanthemum (Chinese: Tong Hao), tofu, Chinese vermicelli (cellophane noodles), etc. Some Japanese may put udon as well. The beef that serve in Shabu Shabu are usually the best beef, the "Matsusaka beef." It is one of the most famous kinds of beef in Japan and internationally. These kinds of beefs contained a high fat-to-meat ratio. Some people will like to have pork and mutton, but unlike Chinese hot pot, Japanese people do not put animal's internal organs in Shabu Shabu. The beefs are cut thinly, thus you are able to the beef after you put it into the hot water for 15-20 seconds. Then have the beef the sauce. There are 2 difference sauces in Shabu Shabu, sesame paste and "ponzu" (烹滋). The taste of sesame paste is stronger, it usually serves with meat. While "ponzu" is a little bit sour, so people usually serves it with tofu and vegetates. After the Shabu Shabu, most restaurants will serve dessert such as fruits or ice-cream.
Fu Lok Taiwanese Shabu Shabu Restaurant (富樂台式涮涮鍋)
This restaurant use white sugar cane to stew for broth. Since the soup base is a little bit sweet, so it can bring out the fresh taste of the meat. I think that their soup is really good!
— the vegatable dish
— beef– The beef is really thin, and the ratio of fat and meat is really balance.
— mutton
Stewed minced pork with rice – This is one of the traditional Taiwanese foods. However, this rice contain pig's oil, it's better don't have too much!

I can't seem to focus on what to write today. In fact, I can't seem to stay awake. My sleep cycle got messed up when I was sick and now it seems that I am awake all night long until 5:30 in the morning each day. Today I decided I would just stay up all day and not sleep until tonight, in hopes of bumping my sleep cycle back into place. It worked until about 2 this afternoon when I accidentally fell asleep. For an hour.
I haven't seen Anderson and Spencer since Friday when I came home and got sick again. Now I'm thinking I should take a walk over there and visit for a little while. They always seem to wake me up and maybe the walk will help. The weather is dry here today and is supposed to remain that way til Wednesday evening when they are saying we will have the first of a few storms, one of which may bring snow levels down. Hhhhmmm. We shall see. I don't think we'll get much, if any, but who knows?
Well, I suppose I should do something about staying awake for another five or so hours. Longer, if necessary or I will end up sleeping for three or so hours and be wide awake by 1 or 2 and wake until 5:30 again. What is it about 5:30?
Any suggestions for knocking my sleep cycle back? What do you do when you are sleeping at the wrong time?

We are once again lucky enough to call ourselves Aunt Brandy & Uncle Sticky. Leo Steven arrived last month and we could not have been more excited to meet him. He is such a handsome little baby, just like his big brother Clay was. He was not all that into having his picture taken, he is quite the little snuggle bug, but we did manage to steal a few.
Congrats Carl, Kim, Maddie, Clay, Alaina and Gunner! Leo certainly fits right into this beautiful family:o)
