One of the biggest surprises from E3 was the announcement that fan-favourite Beyond Good and Evil was finally getting a sequel. All that was shown during Ubisoft's press conference was a cinematic video that introduced the world and some of the characters that we'll meet. Well, Ubisoft has just released a new video that features, creative director for the game, Michel Ancel playing an in-engine demo of the game. He goes on to talk about the scope of the game and the freedom that players will have to go wherever they want in the world and the universe. Here is the video –

Beyond Good and Evil 2 is currently in development but no release date or platforms have been announced.

I realize I may be a little late to jump on this bandwagon, but I absolutely love the look of elbow patch
sweaters. It's a fun little detail that turns a rather simple pullover sweater into a memorable one. I have been
eyeing the pullover by Joie ever since I first saw it, and now it's on sale (score!). Also, for those on a budget-
that Forever21 is an inexpensive way to get the look for less. I haven't decided which one I'm going to
purchase but one of these will be popping up in my closet in the very near future.

Two colleagues are chatting as I approach the coffee machine at work. Man 1 is relaying the itinerary of his approaching holiday to the USA.
MAN 1: "…and then we're off to see some of her relatives in redneck country – South Carolina, where there will no doubt be many firearms on display…"
MAN 2: [Laughs, then suddenly stops] "You're not joking, are you?"
MAN 1: "No: there's a bunch of assault rifles they want me to see, apparently"
MAN 2: "Are you taking the kids?"
MAN 1: "Not to that, no."

Dave and Paige are on their way back to Washington. They plan to spend next weekend at an RV park in Moses Lake. It will be nice to see them again. I may join them, even travel with them to Bremerton. I guess it depends on my mood and the weather.
Speaking of the weather, I think fall has fallen. The days are cool (low 70s), the nights are cold (high 40s) and the wind is rocking the house. All of my blankets are in use. That being said, I've not yet turned on my furnace, so it can't be all that cold.
Think warm thoughts.

Apologize for the misconception. Used word Bum as in the english description not the american descrption.

No apology necessary - it is my life's ambition to be a bum.

Keep working at it, you have a long ways to go. But also realize that you may fail in the attempt. As that great american what's his name once said, I have known bums, worked with them and talked with them, and Scott you are no Bum.

I've moved!
Posted January 19, 2010on:
Please come visit me in my new location. Same blog, new address. Hope to see you there! 🙂

Call me Betty Crocker
Posted January 8, 2010on:
First off, hello blog, sorry for virtually forgetting about your existence for all these months! Yes, we are alive and well (other than all the yucky germs that have been going around the past month or so); I guess I have just been too busy to post!
So, let's start off the new year with a picture to make your mouth water.
I have had a taste for doughnuts lately, and I have this new rule that if I want sweets, I have to make them myself instead of buying them. I've never made doughnuts before and was a bit intimidated by the frying part, so a few days ago I attempted a baked doughnut recipe. They were very good, but really not like doughnuts at all, more like doughnut-shaped sweet bread rolls. So tonight I decided to give the fried doughnuts a try. It was surprisingly easy, and I can't describe how delicious they were. Good thing I only made 1/4 of a recipe – it would not be good to have a couple dozen of these babies lying around the house! Can you tell from the picture how cute the doughnut holes were?
Of course, I made them right after dinner, so this is what I am left with:
Worth it? I'd say yes. The doughnuts are gone already, so I think the family would agree. 😉
How it happened

Me: How old will you be on your next birthday?
Carrie: Four years old!
Me: Four years old?!?! How did you get to be such a big girl???
Carrie: Well, first I turned one, then I turned two, and next I turned three, and on my next birthday I'll turn four!
A minor malfunction

Me: They're twins, but one was born before midnight, and one was born after, so they have different birthdays. Isn't that funny?
Logan: That sounds like a twin glitch!
Lettuce rejoice!
Posted June 25, 2009on:
I thought my pepper plant had died, but apparently it was just in a coma. It's back, and it's actually growing a little pepper! Isn't this the cutest little pepper you've ever seen?
And my lettuce is growing…
And my green onions:
I have never had any interest whatsoever in gardening before, but so far this has been more fun than I ever would have dreamed. Stay tuned over the coming months to see if anything edible actually results from all this toil!
I'm in seeeeeeerious trouble…

The most significant features of a friend are faithfulness and warm-heartedness. They make life so endurable. Listening to their laughter and sharing the most enjoyable times with them is the utmost feeling of all from/with friends. Everyday, I see them through thick and thin, they help me through adversity to reach my greatest accomplishment!
Someone once defined a "friend" as: "the one who remains at your side when everybody else has left you." This just shows how important it is for us to have a warm and faithful friend. It is often only after we have been deeply touched that we truly understand the value of friendship, and truly cherish our friends.
So try to spend more time with your friends… before it's too late.

"Claude is an easily overlooked statistics professor. After a childhood trauma left him motherless, he formed a dysfunctional craving. To satisfy the depraved hunger, he kidnaps Kim from the park and holds her captive in his basement.

Hi-8: Horror Independent Eight
"Segments from eight of the leading indie horror filmmakers including Tim Ritter, Brad Sykes, Donald Farmer, Todd Sheets, Chris Seaver, Ron Bonk, and Marcus Koch. Each director was challenged to go back to their roots, using analog equipment while tapping into their years of experience to tell a story that is fresh and edgy.

The patients are truly frightening and the asylum is horribly understaffed."
"Somewhere deep within Arizona's Superstition Mountains lies the most famous lost gold mine in the world–the Lost Dutchman Mine. Its estimated worth is around 200 million dollars. Since the turn of the twentieth century, thousands of people have scoured the mountains in search of it, hundreds have lost their lives in the process, but not one has returned with an ounce of gold. Legend has it the mine is cursed. In March of 2011, three Los Angeles filmmakers set out to find the mine and document their entire search. They never made it out of the Superstitions.

Writing a blog creates a unique opportunity to archive, plan, dream, and share. Especially with a green horse, it can be useful for keeping track of your progress and achievements. I would like to use this one to track his physical growth, too. Saxon currently stands just a shade over 15.2hh at the withers and 15.3hh at the hip with a weight of around 925 pounds on my weight tape. This may sound low for a horse of his stature, but he's in good body condition - he just lacks body fat because he's still racing fit. The relatively sedentary life of a show/riding horse has replaced his days of jogging five miles a day interspersed with speed work, so Saxon will certainly be putting on some more pounds as he adapts to his new life and fills out with age. When I first saw photos of him about a month ago, his topline looked very level, so at his age, it is quite likely that he's undergoing a growth spurt.
I am fortunate that I need only walk out my front door to see my horses. This has meant that I have been able to ride and work with him every day since his arrival. I have gotten in the routine of feeding him first thing in the morning while I clean his stall, then tacking him up for a short riding session. At his stage of training, these rides are quite short, usually just 20 minutes or less. He is learning so much so quickly, that I want to keep the rides short and positive without overwhelming him with a plethora of new commands. After my first two rides on him, I thought he had the concept of moving forward off leg pressure down. On my next ride, things were going well until he decided that he wanted to head into the side yard near the side pasture gate. He would freeze or get stuck in reverse and I could only seem to turn him and get a step or two in a generally forwards direction. I kept trying and we eventually managed to work our way back into the front area, though at times I was worried that he would back himself into things without realizing it. The next day, I enlisted Justin's help. That one section of the yard seemed to be his main sticky area for losing forward movement, so after he'd get stuck, I'd ask him to move forwards and Justin would help by leading us at first, and then simply walking beside him. He's generally eager to walk, so I think what I assumed was him figuring out leg cues right off the bat was partially coincidence. Thanks to Justin's help we have weaned ourselves off of leading assist when he gets stuck to truly independent riding and he is getting better and better with each ride. It is similar for our trot work, too. It took a lot of clucking, kissing, and gentle but insistent squeezing at first to get a short burst of trot (along with Justin jogging next to us a few times), but now it takes much less leg and voice cues. We are able to walk and trot in any direction, over poles and between cones without any assistance after less than a week of riding experience.
I haven't found much that rattles him. He's very inquisitive, so he often wants to stop and look at things, but he'll usually just stand there with pricked ears and a cocked hip and no signs of nervousness. Case in point, the neighbor's German Shepherd puppy that bounds around their yard (including around their 10 foot tall lighted inflatable holiday Scooby Doo). Saxon likes to slow down in that corner and have a look, but he's not speeding up, scooting away, or "pointing" at it (I've come to the conclusion that STBs don't generally spook and turn tail at scary things like other horses, they tend to scoot away while "pointing" at it with their head and neck to make sure that you see it, too. "Look, look. See that? It's scary and I'm not going over there."). Saxon, on the other hand, just doesn't want to miss anything that's going on.
I was riding him by myself yesterday, when our heat pump (on the side of the house really close to where we ride) kicked into its defrost cycle which is extra loud and rattly. It seemed like a good opportunity to gauge his reaction to it. The heat pump is also near that little cross-country jump that startled him the first day he was here. I decided to ride over to it and let him check it out. Though we'd been doing much better about moving forward off leg, he got sticky near the jump as we approached the heat pump. Since he was backing towards the jump, my landscaping, and generally places that I didn't want a horse's rump to crash into, I opted to dismount and lead him over to the heat pump. He wasn't 100% sure about it, but he never tried to run backwards or swing himself around - it just took extra coaxing to inch him towards it a step at a time. We got there, and he willingly sniffed it, licked it, and let the fan blow onto his forelock and wasn't concerned when it kicked from defrost back to the heat cycle. Have I mentioned that I love this horse?
I was about to remount and resume our ride when a stampede of thundering hooves and loud mooing ensued as about 30 cows and calves streamed into the front pasture at the farm across the street. This was the first time that the cows had been visible since his arrival and they decided to make quite a spectacle of it. Saxon proved that he has some reactivity as his head shot up, and I saw the whites of his eyes for probably the first time ever. Well, I guess this is our opportunity to get used to cattle.
Cows are Legs' Achilles Heel. She is nearly perfect in so many ways, but this is her "thing." Though I distinctly remember her being pastured next to yearling calves when she was about 4 and I remember riding through cattle pastures at a careful distance when she was 6, sometime during the past 8 years she has decided that cows are ravenous, demonically possessed, horse-eating banshees and can't be convinced otherwise. If there is a cow in the area, she will spot it, point, and scoot, even if it's nearly half a mile away. Considering this, I certainly wanted to make Saxon's first encounter a positive one!
Still on foot, I led him towards the corner of the yard closest to the milling cattle. Other than the trailer ride home, this was the first time I'd seen him get nervous. He was prancing and dancing with his head up, and the nervous pooping started. He whinnied at them, as if trying to respond to their mooing. I got him close to the fence, but he didn't want to keep his feet still. I led him back and forth along the fence until he had settled down enough to stand mostly still, and then I perched myself on the top rain and let him just watch the cows and calves. One of the calves was headbutting the remnants of a round bale, rolling it across the pasture. Another was trying to mount its mother, and yet another engaged in a game of tag, bucking and running with its playmate. The remainder were milling noisily around the large metal creep feeder in their field. Legs would have freaked as clearly this is a sure sign that they are becoming organized and weaponized! Saxon saw the two playing calves and nickered to them. He seemed to think that they were little horses and was wondering why they looked and talked so funny. He was starting to settle down again, when the farmhand came rumbling into the field in a large tractor pulling the grain wagon. Trailing behind was the farmer in his ATV. For heaven's sake - this was quickly turning into quite the production. So we continued to watch as the guys climbed onto the creep feeder, banged open the metal lid, and positioned the boom over it to fill it with grain, cows milling and mooing in the meantime. Saxon seemed slightly on edge, but was content to stay near the corner where all the action was happening. The farmers finished filling the creep feeder and drove off across the field. I guess that was the cue to roll the credits, as the cows trailed off behind the tractor, leaving only a few cows and calves behind. This had been a much longer workout than I had planned, but I didn't want him to equate getting nervous with getting out of work, so I got on him just long enough to reinforce the skills we'd been working on. Though he had stood well for me to mount initially, I guess he was still a little up from the cattle stampede as he didn't want to stand still the second time. Something to work on for later...
When I turned him out in his paddock afterwards, instead of putting his hay in the hay rack near the gate, I took it to the front corner, which offered the best view of the cattle pasture (and the road). When I peeked out at him later in the day, he was dozing with his chin resting on the fence. I guess he didn't want to miss a minute of his favorite new show - the Cow Show. By the end of the day, any fear he'd had of the cows seemed to have turned to curiosity. And the other plus was that he got plenty of desensitization to the passing cars in the process (not that he needed it - they didn't seem to bother him anyhow).
Today was farrier day and Saxon was perfect. I held him in the aisle and rubbed his face (while he licked me) and he patiently stood as each foot was trimmed in turn. I had his shoes pulled for winter (well, the remaining two - he'd already somehow managed to remove both left ones on his own) and will try to leave him barefoot (with regular trims) for a while, so long as his feet stay good. They look like nice healthy feet with good hoof wall, so I'm not anticipating any problems. Today's forecast was all day rain changing over to sleet, so we had to do our "ride" in the barn aisle. Seems like an opportunity to work on standing still while mounting and dismounting to me. Once he got the idea down, he was perfect. I mounted and dismounted a couple times from the right, too. It sure feels awkward to me, though he doesn't know the difference, and it's always a good idea to acclimate the horse to it in case you have to do so for some reason in the future. We rode through the water noodles, and he was just as calm and willing about it as when we did it in hand. We worked just a bit on yielding the forehand and hindquarters to leg pressure. Have I mentioned that this horse is really smart and willing? This was our first go at it, and he was already getting the gist of it.
No horse is perfect, for sure, but Saxon sure has a lot going for him as a riding horse and show prospect between his looks, movement, and amazing disposition. I am thrilled at what we've done in a mere 6 days and can't wait to see what we will accomplish tomorrow!

Oliver looked on amazed as his witch dipped a little backwards, his hand still had a light grip on her upper arm. To an onlooker it would seem like they were in the midst of a slow dance. Oliver kept on watching as her lips uplifted themselves into a pleased smile. Her nose crinkled as another snowflake joined the first one. Her one had stretched out to catch the shiny, multicolored cloud particles. Soon, her woolen cap also got decorated with snow. She sighed out a smokey breath with her eyes fluttering close in the bliss of this moment.
And the sight took Oliver's breath away.
'You...,' Oliver mumbled, 'You look...'
'What?' Elli hummed closing her eyes, the smile was still there and so was her addictive bliss.
Oliver didn't know his mouth had parted open slightly, he felt a thirst like never before engulfing his very being.
'You look...,' He tried again, a lump was forming in his throat.
Hearts beat in rhythm and they beat together fast, it was as if they would keep it up like that until they could combust hand in hand.
But Oliver forced himself to return back to reality. Getting a grip of himself, he finished his dangerous sentence finally. 'You look like Santa Claus!'
Or what else? Oliver mentally chastised himself for even thinking of saying it aloud that she looked beautiful indeed, absolutely gorgeous, like an angel of mischief, a true witch - a white, beautiful one in that case. He couldn't risk saying all that to her and inflate her already oversize ego bag, he couldn't bear having her walk all over him in pride and... whatever.
Elli gasped and stood straighter now, her outstretched hand in it's own accord landed straight on his chest, right over his heart in a - what was supposed be a punishing slap.
Oliver hissed. 'This acidity!'

Diego(Simon's Assistant) and Simon
I used a picture off of Simon Miller's website in the photo above.
It was awesome to meet Simon Miller!
His attention to Wash kills me. I walk by his jeans every morning and I can't help but stop and stare.
He is extremely humble, intensely passionate about his jeans, has an amazing sense of direction, and straight up just a cool dude.
He agreed to me recording a short video of him talking about his washes.....(he will hate me saying this )the man is a genius.

If you're numbers match the numbers I have listed and you do it right, it will work! Extract it to a floppy, remove your modem, when adding it back, tell Windows you want to select it yourself, and boom, you are in business. Just remember to change which modem to use to connect to your isp in the connection properties, that threw me off for a while, if you don't do that it won't show youv'e got a modem, but you already know that

Very scary incident with this crazy dog today. 7 miles into 9 mile hike she decided to chase something into the woods and falls into the swamp. I hear her whine for me and wait for her to come out, I hear lots of splashing. Not good for her to get wet in this weather. I realize she is stuck, she starts yelping and panicking. Oh no, did she hurt herself like Patches? That horrible accident with Patches flashes in front of me. She looks and sounds like she is about to drown, she can barely keep her head above water. Is she caught in a hunter's trap under the water?
I rush to the swamp, mindful to try to stay dry in this cold weather and I pull her out and find that she can't walk. Clearly her front leg is broken and we are miles from the car. She is way too heavy for me to carry to the car. She cannot walk at all, she keeps falling down onto her front leg with her front leg collapsing under her. I carry her to the road to get a better look at her.
I take off her top coat to see if it is binding her up somehow, but it is not. Then I see that her back leg is all tangled up in her undersweater. I remove her clothes and she wags her tail and runs off ready to hike again.. whew.. She is however covered in swamp mud and soaking wet.
Time to get to the car fast to warm her up. If she had been alone in the woods in that outfit she might very well have drown. It's really kind of dangerous for dogs to wear clothes when hiking.

'Fireflies in the Abyss' to release in India on July 1
Mumbai, June 10 (IANS) Chandrasekhar Reddy's directorial docu-feature "Fireflies in the Abyss", about children working in coal mines, will be released in India on July 1 by Drishyam Films.
The docu-feature, which has been shown across various film festivals, talks about children especially working in coal mines in the Jaintia Hills of Northeast India.
The 88-minute feature captures the dream of an 11-year-old boy who attempts to fight his way out of the rat-hole of coal mines, to put himself in school. It features Nishant Rai, Raj Rai and Suraj Subba.
"After travelling the world and screening at some of the most prestigious film festivals, I have become certain of one thing – every kind of audience responds to the film with tremendous emotion and enthusiasm.
"This is what has given me the confidence to reach out to a wider Indian audience. To have the support and expertise of Drishyam Films in this effort, I believe, gives the film the best possible chance to succeed," Reddy said in a statement.
Shiladitya Bora, CEO, Drishyam Films, said that "documentaries as a cultural medium hasn't been fully explored in India."
"We at Drishyam want to make it a sustainable endeavour. Fireflies in the Abyss is a powerful and award-winning film, navigating a difficult subject matter with a light touch, and we are sure it will make its mark on the silver screen," Bora said.
"Fireflies in the Abyss" had its world premiere at the Busan International Film Festival last year and the India premiere at the Mumbai International Film Festival this year, winning the Golden Conch award for Best Documentary Feature Film and the Best Cinematography in the National Competition category.
It was also a part of the market section of the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival.

So I am going to attempt to reduce my purchasing. Lately I have been getting all sorts of things that I want, many of which were needed. Some of which were not. I now sit here surrounded by UFOs of more than just the knitty kind. I have four skirts, one that is even for me, cut out waiting to be sewn. I have fabric for three aprons, two for me, waiting to be cut and sewn. There are logs and woodins and sweaters and sock yarn and that mystery felting project all just waiting. Several of these need only a small amount to be finished. Just a smudge as A would say. There is also my new video game Legend of Zelda The Phantom Hourglass to be finished. I'm about halfway done and I would say that this and my daughter's Lego Star Wars game have contributed to some other projects' neglect. Sweaters don't have rewards until you finish the whole thing. Even if it is just an electronic boat prow or extra heart container that makes you harder to kill.
The theory here is that if I finish my projects I will have new things without actually purchasing anything else. We in the US have so much stuff. Generally in our house we try to mostly upgrade rather than just aquire new, new things, although it does happen. Really we have everything we need and our wants are few. Not a lot of keeping up with the Joneses here. That said I have a weakness for textiles, whether it be woolen or plant, woven or waiting to be knit. I see the potential and next thing I know I'm at the register. The plan is to avoid stores that sell anything other than food for a couple of months and see how I do.
Today, however, is a day for laundry, mopping, and the cleaning of fish tanks. I have a few other things going on as well. I will have some knitting time later. Perhaps I can force myself to pull out the sewing machine this evening and get started on some of that too.
Does the new season of Survivor start tonight?

Political Squabbling Stalls Elections in Iraq
Provincial elections are expected to take place this fall in Iraq, and nowhere is more contested than Basra. The oil port city is considered a major prize by many political parties. The recent Iraqi Army offensive in Basra, which was ordered by the government, has had political ramifications. Rival parties like the Sadrists accuse the Iraqi prime minister of using the fight in Basra for political gain.

set-up proxy on linux
2015/03/26 Leave a comment
Hi everyone!
Here a simple guide to set up a connection via proxy.
If you need to use a proxy to connect to any remote host, you can configure your linux system to use it automatically.
In case of an http proxy, you must write the line below into /etc/environment:
export http_proxy="http://<user>:<pwd>@<host>:<port>"
where "user" is your proxy user, "pwd" is your proxy password, "host" and "port" are the proxy IP and PORT defined to use that proxy connection.
If you need to set other proxy types, you can use the following options:
or all_proxy=.. if you use the same proxy options on all proxy servers.
Enjoy! 😉

I don't think so! But this is what I could cook today with the ingredients I had available. Before I went abroad I tried to clear out my the fridge to prevent stuff in it from going bad while I was away. That would have been no problem under normal circumstances, as I would have gone to university and to the supermarket when I returned. However, having from Prague.
However, things didn't exactly work out like that. This meant that I found myself today with very limited things in my cupboard and fridge. What did I have? potatoes, onions, couscous, rice, bread and cheese. What on earth could I prepare with that?
My decision? I boiled 3 potatoes and an onion, I mashed them, and then put that on toast, with some cheddar on top as a 'garnish' (and make that to maybe give some taste :P) and then I got a 'potato and onion toast sandwich'. Would you like to join me? 🙂

The Montreal Art Tattoo Show is going on this weekend. I spent yesterday hanging out, watching the artists , body painters, and the mobile art show that is the crowd.
I love the whole concept of etching your artwork on another human. It must be incredibly satisfying for these artists to have their work on permanent exhibition. Or should I say, permanently on exhibitionists.

US Secretary of State John Kerry's warning that intransigence in peace negotiations with the embryonic Palestinian Arab state might result in boycotts is raising lots of hackles in Israel.
Deputy Minister of Transportation Tzipi Hotovely call's Kerry's statements "threats" intended to "terrorize" Israel.
Deputy Minister of Defense says that Kerry is "putting a gun to Israel's head."
Come again?
Even setting aside that fact that Kerry was warning of third party boycott likelihoods, not threatening a US boycott, there's a lot of chutzpah in such statements.
There are certainly some guns to some heads, but they're not American guns to Israeli heads.
US tax authorities put a gun to the head of every American, every day, to get the billions of dollars paid in foreign aid to Israel each year.
And the the US Export Administration Act puts a gun to the head of every American business, threatening their owners with a $50,000 fine and/or five years in prison should they choose to participate in boycotts of Israel.
As a non-interventionist, I don't believe the US should be meddling in Arab-Israeli conflicts at all (and especially not to the extreme now being floated by Palestinian National Authority president Mahmoud Abbas, who wants a NATO "peacekeeping force" in the state he's trying to establish).
But let's be clear on the subject of whose hands the guns are in, and where they're pointed, when it comes to boycotts. In the US, it's Israel and Israel's AIPAC-whipped congressional fifth columnists holding the guns to American heads.

Online PR News – 12-March-2013 – McKees Rocks, PA – McKees Rocks, PA - Criminal defense attorney Jacob W. Wyland is proud to join the Washington County Bar Association and serve the citizens of Washington County, Pennsylvania. Regarding his acceptance into the Washington County Bar, Mr. Wyland stated "I am proud to be a member of such a well-respected bar association and to be working in Washington County."
The Washington County Bar Association was formed in 1892 to regulate the practice of law, maintain the dignity and honor of the legal profession, create relationship and networking opportunities between attorneys, and serve the citizens of Washington County, Pennsylvania. This bar organization has 396 members composed of lawyers and judges and reaches out to the community with a multitude of projects including activities for youth and services for senior citizens.
Mr. Wyland graduated from Washington and Jefferson College with a Bachelor of Arts in 1996 and earned his Juris Doctor at Widener University School of Law in 2005.

Here is a pair of terrific cartoonists with new mini-sites. Check them out, please.
Scott C (@scottlava)aka Scott Campbell has a stream of great showdowns. See? Conflict is everywhere. Scott will be at Emerald City Comicon Table D-05 March 4-7. I have to be out of town (curses!) but you can go see him in action. One of the great things about le Comicon is seeing a whole bunch of people drawing – and their drawings. Not to be missed.
The Daily Claw by Andrew Schick (@agschick) I love this Vancouver artist's winsome drawing style.

It's been really hard to blog lately, so I haven't. It's not that there isn't anything going on to blog about. It's because there is too much to blog about. By this time next week, Christmas will be over. The stress of "Did I buy enough? Did I forget someone? Are we now bankrupt?" will be put away for another year.
This year, there were two children that dominated the media, because their plight dominated our hearts. They touched us. This first was Kaylee Anthony, a little two year old girl we were made aware of in July because she had been missing for a month before her grandmother made a 911 call for help. The second child was Brenden Foster, an eleven year old boy we learned about in November, who was dying from leukemia, but was selfless in his pursuit for food for the homeless.
Neither child will be celebrating Christmas with their families this year. It appears that Kaylee was killed sometime during the summer. Brenden died just before Thanksgiving.
When you reflect on the smiling pictures of Kaylee, lying unknown and unburied for six months, a senseless, useless murder and the heartrending sadness of the passing of a gentle soul like Brenden to an economy that is seeing record amounts of American's losing their homes and their jobs, who really feels the joy of Christmas? Who can really afford it? Who wants to?
If I didn't celebrate Christmas for religious reasons, ie the birth of Jesus the Christ, I probably would skip Christmas this year.
Instead, despite the advice of the economists to spend, spend, spend! and save the economy, our Christmas celebration is returning to it's 1930's roots - it's revolving around family, shared meals, and a minimum of presents.
It will probably be the best Christmas celebration we've had in a long time.

Dorine and I spent most of the Albuquerque Public Schools spring break (April 14-18) on a vacation to Red River, NM with Judy and Mike (Dorine's sister and her husband). We stayed four nights at the Red River Worldmark resort, where Mike got us a two-bedroom suite for very little money. We've been in Red River with Judy and Mike several times now, and it's always a nice, relaxing time. On this trip we drove up to Cimarron, NM, site of the St. James Hotel and the Philmont Scout Ranch. We ate lunch at the St. James and then received permission to go look around the older, upstairs (now unused) part of the hotel, where a number of historical figures stayed back in the latter part of the 19th Century. (I was interested to find out that Wyatt and Morgan Earp and their wives spent four nights there while en route to Tombstone, AZ and the famous shoot-out at the OK Corral.) The hotel is also reputedly haunted and, for that reason, has been featured in multiple television shows. Then we drove up to the Philmont base camp and looked around a little. I went to Philmont iin 2004 with our son Darren and Mike and Judy's son Aaron (who went back in 2007), so it was a bit of a trip down memory lane for me and an interesting place to visit for Dorine, Judy, and Mike. Before leaving, we drove down a dirt road a ways and got a few pictures with the "Tooth of Time," Philmont's most-iconic geological feature.
We also spent time in Taos, shopping and getting tamales, and we stopped at the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge for a short hike and some photo-taking. The next day we went to the Wild Rivers Recreation Area, where the Red River joins the Rio Grande, and we took a four-mile (two miles one way) hike along the canyon rim before having a picnic lunch. As usual, we ate well, having "USDA prime" sirloin steak and baked potatoes every night. All in all, a very enjoyable trip, as all of our travels with Mike and Judy are.

Up in smoke, a lifetime of memories for Minneapolis writer
Early this April, Minneapolis writer Neal Karlen lost nearly everything he owned when his apartment was engulfed in flames.
Among the items destroyed were countless irreplaceable collectables, ranging from a Sandy Koufax rookie baseball card to a signed Lenny Bruce check.
"I lost 95 percent of it," Karlen said.
At the time of the fire Karlen was not home and with him was perhaps his most important possession--his laptop.
Karlen, who has written numerous Rolling Stone cover stories, is currently working on a book on music icon Prince. Over the years, Karlen developed a rapport with Prince and has on his laptop countless hours of never-before-heard recordings with the music legend.
"The first chapter is going to be his public death, the Eiffel tower glowing purple. The last chapter is going to be his private death, alone in an elevator, which I know was his greatest fear--dying alone," Karlen said.
The book is due out in January.
Friends have set up a GoFundMe account for Karlen, which can be found here.

There is a quote from Syd Banks, the founder of the Three Principles Approach,
""If the only thing people learned was not to be afraid of their experience, that alone would change the world."
This is my work in a nutshell – not to be afraid of our own experience and then take that creative wellbeing into creating something that is alive for you – rather than just another day of the '9 to 5'.
In a slightly longer version, the purpose of my coaching and hypnosis is to to help you access your own wisdom and insight and have the skills to build a life of creative well-being .
"It's a site for people who are anxious and stressed in a crazy world and who want help to help themselves."
Hello, I am Richard Ingate
You may want coaching or hypnosis to help you overcome work related stress. You may want to explore what is next for you, what you want to stop doing and what you want to begin creating.
You may not yet know what you want but you just feel something is not quite right with the way you are living and working. Coaching and hypnosis are perfect ways you can explore and get useful clarity.
Contact me to find out more and arrange a free 'is it for me' session. And if it isn't time for you do do that yet, stay in the conversation by signing up for the free newsletter (and get the free View from Above guided visualisation).

What if you could look back at a particular day, or say a weekend, and remember that it was the weekend you quit that awful habit of inhaling chemicals. What if you could name the day, the time, even the minute when you learned exactly how to quit and you did it? Would that not be a moment to remember forever, the weekend you extended your life by 10 to 20 years?
Pesticide, insecticide, bleach, ammonia, plastic and glass wool are just a few of the chemicals used to make commercial cigarettes an efficient nicotine delivery device that has more than 45,000,000 Americans hooked and suffering. What a waste of money. What a waste of health! It is said that half of smokers wish they could quit but just don't know how. Does someone close to you have to die of cancer to scare you into quitting?
Could you or WOULD you quit cold turkey if you found out that YOU had cancer? There is preventive medicine, in the form of food, that can kill the cravings of cigarettes and nicotine, but very few people in the universe know what they are. Plus, medical colleges and the overreaching "search for the cure for cancer" do not educate anyone about nutrition as a cure for disease, mainly because the FDA and the CDC will not allow any company or food product to state that they can cure anything, not disease, disorder or addiction. Yet the commercials on TV for toxic medications claim whatever they want to, as long as they list or state (subliminally usually) the side effects.
This is the weekend you are reading about chemical addiction, behavior modification and nutrition as a blueprint for breaking the chain, the chain smoker chain. This is the weekend you start a 14-day weaning off of nicotine and remove 4,000 chemicals from your hourly intake. This is the weekend your body thanks you sincerely, for doing a 180-degree turn and about-facing this horrific habit that's getting the best of you, taking away your drive, your ambition, your health and your overall happiness.
End the misery, starting right now!
The difference between smokers and nonsmokers is that nonsmokers do not experience a chemical "hangover" every 30 to 45 minutes, unless they are consuming lots of GMO food, bleached food, artificial sweeteners, processed sugars and fluoridated water. Once a human being filters out the majority of toxins in their body, their breathing system, their digestive system, their central nervous system and their brain begin rewarding them immediately. If a person is not driven directly into sickness and that person does not compromise their immunity and vitality with food, drug and tobacco chemicals, their body becomes the ultimate machine that functions as nature intended.
The natural method to quit smoking in 14 days or less incorporates, step by step, a concrete plan to do just that – to return the body to its natural state – one of natural cleansing and organic livelihood. The body is organic and must be given organic fuel. Learn the 10 steps to freedom from cigarettes from the expert and former smoker who designed the all-natural method to stop smoking in 14 days or less. You can trust the Health Ranger and Natural News to enlighten the masses, the 46,000,000 Americans who smoke, even the ones who don't realize yet that they want and NEED to quit! You are NOT a tobacco bud worm, horn worm or flea beetle. Stop smoking pest killer. Cleanse your body of parasites (Big Tobacco and GMO food) and you will feel the difference immediately. There is a solution to your problem – would you like to know what it is?

hey there! So I DID do a new recipe last week, but with getting ready to go out of town for a few days, I didn't get a chance to post it! Here you go! Matt and I LOVED these, you know the drill with Hannah. Brooke liked them okay but she is kind of random on potatoes in general.
Parmesan Potatoes (or in our case, cheddar!).
Peel and cube 12 small-to-medium potatoes...your choice of what kind. I used russets, have also had these with baby reds and those were good too.
Put the taters in a big ziploc bag. In a bowl mix 1/4 cup shredded parmesan (not that pizza-sprinkle-cheese stuff, actual shreds) 2 t. salt, 1 t garlic powder, 1 t. paprika, 1/2 tsp pepper. Mix together, dump in the tater bag, close and shake.
Shake and bake taters? Maybe!
Drizzle a baking sheet with 1/3 c vegetable oil. Spread taters on there. Bake at 375 for 40-50 minutes. I like them to get a little crispy, so mine might take a little longer.
We didn't have any parmesan, so I omitted the cheese part initially, and then the last 15 minutes of baking, I sprinkled finely shredded cheddar over it all. It was good too!

Hello all. I only discovered this forum a couple of days ago so please bare with me as all of this information is brand new to me . I have been feeling absolutely exhausted and my energy has crashed the last few days so please excuse me if I'm rambling as my cognitive function is certainly not up to par.
I have a long history of severe gynaecological issues which include prolonged extremely heavy bleeding ,cysts , fibroids and anemia. I have had four laporoscopies were significant amounts of endometriosis were removed by lazer. The 4th op was last Aug . I was then re admitted to hosp with severe unexplained bleeding . Since the op I've had 2 heavy periods a month . I've just now had 3 periods in a row !
Also a long history of frequentUTI' , many severe kidney infections sone very bad pyelonephritis were I was on a drip in hosp for average 3 days to a week. No kidney disease has been found although some scarring has showed .
I have spent years being passed from gynea to urology to surgeons. ! With no real solution being found :/ .
Last year I had my gynea op postponed twice and knee surgery once as my iron levels had dropped too low. Oral iron was not working and I even ate red meat in desperation ( I'm a life long veggie )
Finally the knee surgeon referred me into haematology in the Mac Millian part of the UCH. They have been giving me iron infusions every 3 months since Nov . My level did come up just enough to operate . I thought I would have felt better by now by the infusions actually make me very nauseous and I'm laid low after them .I had one last Tues and felt very very unwell by Thurs . I asked re B12 and they said my level was 250 which they consider normal . Their range is 180 - 600. I felt upset when they refused my B12 which Ironically lead me to research to then come across pernicious anemia. My intuition screamed this waa the link to all my illnesses which also inc long term depression , anxiety , panicked attacks , heart palpations , poor eyesight . The neurological symptoms also match to a tee !! I had thought my falls , balance issues were due to my knee issues , broken toes , torn ligaments etc !! The last 5 years I've been very fatigued but had put this down to depression . I have complex PTSD and have been receiving truama counselling. My recent symptoms are extreme fatigue after small excersion ! Low concentration , cramps , pins and needles , buzzing in right ankle !? , upon standing a fling I am going to fa to the left , gait issues , muscle cramps , migraines that can last 3 days ! Light sensivity , odd rash on neck. Hair loss , candida despite a super healthy gluten free diet ! 2 stone weight gain in a year , loss of appetite. I could go on !!
I feel I have been mis diagnosed as just anemic but after reading the symptoms I now feel and think it's pernicious .
I have a Dr's app on Tues but my normal lovely Dr is away til September !! I really need advice on what I should ask the new Dr , evidence to bring .?
Should I avoid taking an B vitamins now ? Even though I'm on the floor and walking is a big effort and I feel very spaced out .
Any advice on how to proceed from this point would be much appreciated . Many thanks ☆♡☆
