|2 - 7 nights
Custom waterfront home in the desirable private Joyceville subdivision. This home was built with entertaining in mind, open floor plan with large living area and windows to view the lake. Two stone fireplaces, with granite and hardwoods in the kitchen. Built in gas grill on extra large deck where you can enjoy views of Poplar Creek. Two master suites and custom bar located in basement. Garage has ping pong table.
The lake house is bright, beautiful, spacious and comfortable with wonderful views of the lake. The area surrounding the house is equally inviting and quiet. Given the perfect weather, we were given the opportunity to enjoy being on the lake taking turns in the jon boat. Sitting by the fire pit and making smores was a hit. There are games galore for all ages as well as reading material and movies so even if it is a rainy day fun can be had indoors. The kitchen is also well stocked. All in all, young, old and in between had a great time. S. McBride
This beautiful house is well maintained, stocked and is great for larger families/groups. The house is tucked back into a small cove but provided easy access to the lake with a marina and restaurant right across the other side. We rented a large pontoon boat and it was great to be able to tie it to the dock right in front of the house. Bedrooms are well appointed and there are two pull-out sofas to complement those that dont want to share a bedroom. The kitchen was large and well stocked with anything you could ever ask for with plenty of pots, pans, appliances and utensils. The downstairs bar area and extra full size refrigerator was great too! Josh was more than helpful in answering questions. Thank you for sharing your home. We hope to be back again!
Our extended family of 14 rented this property for two days to celebrate our daughter's 30th birthday. We really enjoyed the spacious, clean and well kept home. We spent a lot of time on the water boating, fishing and jet skying.In the evening we relaxed by the side of the lake. The only problem was that we should have rented it longer! This property exceeded our expectations and we would definitely recommend it to those who want to get away for a few days.
The Horst Family
Large house, very clean. The owners are very responsive to questions, etc. We had a wonderful time and there is a lot of room to spread out and enjoy!
The pictures on the website do not do this place justice. It is much more beautiful in person. We were there to celebrate a 50th birthday with our entire family and a good time was had by all!! Large kitchen was great and every amenity we needed. The home was beautifully decorated but very homy. We would definitely come back or recommend this property to friends. Owners were always quick to respond to any questions we had which was nice. We were sad to leave!!
We loved everything about this property. We especially loved being able the keep our jet skis on the lift at night. We had 11 adults and 2 children and there was plenty of space for everyone. We would definitely recommend this property.
Solmate is located in the beautiful private Joyceville subdivision. It is less than a mile away from a winery and golf course.

[Visit my food blog - linked below - for photos of almost all the dishes.]
A space devoted to fine wines and exquisitely-made desserts what could be better? Well, actually Just Fabulous Kensington has all that AND truly delicious entrees. Last week, I met my old, dear friends for dinner at this darling neighborhood cafe
First we enjoyed a gorgeous Artisan Cheese Collection. For $19.95, we were presented with a variety of cheeses: Humboldt Fog with a thread of edible ash running through it, Manchego paired with quince paste, Boschetto, PTit Basque, and Roaring Forties Blue. The plate overflowed with other goodies, including caramelized walnuts, fresh figs, apples, crostini, homemade bread sticks, kalamata olives, grapes, and a figgy cake.
We ordered three entrees to share among the four of us. The Snake River Ranch Kobe Beef Burger was outstanding - one of the best burgers Ive ever had! Juicy and perfectly cooked to medium, it came with black truffle cheese, oven roasted tomatoes, onion, garlic mayo, and crispy pommes frittes. We seriously regretted cutting the burger into fourths and splitting it. After one bite, we all wished we had our own! Ill definitely be dragging my meat-a-holic husband back there for this treat.
We also shared the Thai Chili Chicken Penne (too spicy for my mild tastes!) and Tiny Crab Quesadillas with Chinese Salsa Fresca (served compliments of the chef).
Next up was the vegan, but still flavorful and satisfying to our group of meat eaters, Vegetable Lasagna made with polenta, roasted vegetables, and smoked tomato sauce.
We contemplated the dessert choices, but it was too overwhelming and everything was just too tempting! So, we asked the waitress for her recommendation and she suggested the You-Asked-For-It Double Chocolate Cake. The presentation was frantic and fun and enticing. The flavor was rich and totally hit the spot after our scrumptious meal.
Just Fabulous could have settled for just being a standard wine and dessert place. But they do everything right - in my opinion. Comfortable and casual, yet serious about food. Fun and intriguing presentations backed up by undeniably quality food. Wine, pastries, burgers, a friendly staff all underneath the lights of the neon Kensington sign. Ill definitely be back

Well, the computer has been on the blink, so I am behind in my posting of fun and frolicsome stuff. I will be trying to catch up... as "catch" can.....
Remember, if you want to spell their name, that it is "I before E, except after C... and Old MacDonald had a Farm.) We even ate a Bing Crosby Chocolate bar while we were there!
I have never eaten a "Bing Crosby Chocolate Bar"... have you?
Here is the wrapper:
Bing Crosby was of a different generation than me.... but he has some history in Spokane.
They named this theater after him.
As I mentioned, the band that we went to see and hear was called the Horse Thieves....
Here they are:
The Horse Thieves is a local group was a lot of fun to watch and listen to. They were opened by a duo called Betty and the Boy...
Musically, Betty and the Boy was quite engaging ... The woman's beautiful voice was rather ethereal.... mesmerizing even, and as I said, their brief opening of the show was engaging, but behind it's sublime beauty there was was a hauntingly depressing... rather "dark" tone in their music and lyrics. Maybe it's supposed to be that way.... a folksy sort of thing, but it was not uplifting.
After seeing them in person, I took the opportunity to check them out on the web and I ran into their music video to a song they played, called, "Moth to a Light..." I do not recommend viewing it. Betty (Beteena Jeager) accurately describes the song, or is it the video.. (or is it both?)... in the Eugene Weekly, calling it a "graphic and dark journey" through "drugs, suicide and the afterworld." Yes, the video is graphic and sad.... I say this having only watched part. The graphic visions of bloodletting are truly something I could have done without... REALLY! Now, after learning more about the band, I more clearly understand why the music seemed so dark; it is dark. Missing from it is that uplifting and essential ingredient for life and health.... light.
Maybe some OF B and the B songs are uplifting, I just haven't heard them. I know from experience though that in some dark places there is seemingly no hope or help... just pain and darkness.... and I know too that light is life giving. IT is only the Light of Christ....that will dispell such darkness... and it's too bad that I have to comment on how depressing and lonely.... hopeless. the music of BEtty and the Boy makes one feel even with the beautiful voice she has. The music of Betty and the boy, however is hauntingly moving...somewhat captivating and mostly lonely and sad.
But, on another note, and in a slightly different light, was the other band.... the one we went to see, the Horse Thieves. They were a lot more uplifting to listen to though, in their sound, if not their name, there also was an essence of darkness, but it was in a more subtle way. Of course, it could just be the contrast between the two bands. I read an article about them and their outlaw ballads.... music about cannibals and such, but I wouldn't necessarily describe their music or lyrics as dark.... nor "oppressive," maybe more like "folk" and a little "moody."
We loved the girl drummer, (she was great!) and we were intrigued by the folksy punk-western sound of the Horse Thieves. There was also the bass player, who had moves of every kind to accentuate the music as the band exhibited their style and talent. But the best part of going to this concert was the discovery that one of our old friends was playing in the band! This was a surprise, as, quite frankly, we didn't know what to expect. All we knew, was that it was part of a fundraiser for the people down in Haiti, it was and the Bing Crosby Theater, down town and featured a band named the Horse Thieves.
We were pleasantly, (and in many ways,) surprised.
YOu can listen to them on the internet...NEed help? Try here. or here.

I've started this blog to chronicle the various goings-on of my life, especially as I navigate the entire post-undergrad world, starting with my preparations for studying at the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna this September on a Fulbright Scholarship. I've got a long list of things I need to do to get ready, including, but not limited to:
- Medical exam and form submission
- Gathering documents for my residency permit application
- Actually completing my residency permit application
- Registering for classes
- Buying my tickets
- Doing some of the entrance exam recommended reading (I don't have to take said entrance exam, but I'm hoping it will help me figure out what I'll be expected to know)
- Practicing my German
- Improving my French (y'know, since I haven't studied the language since high school)
- Practicing my Arabic (since I can take classes through the University of Vienna, and I can't afford to lose what I've learned)
- Figuring out where I'm going to stay during the week of Fulbright orientation, which happens before I can move into my on-campus housing
- And more!
Doesn't that sound exciting? On the bright side, I've definitely started some of these list items. Like the residency permit application: I need a copy of my birth certificate, with an extra stamp (called an apostille) that certifies to foreign governments that it's legit. Easy-peasy, right?
Wrong! The Commonwealth of Virginia (where I was born), only gives an apostille on documents certified by a Virginia notary in the last 12 months. Which means: I fill out and submit an application with their Records Department (with $12 check and a photocopy of ID), which, 2-4 weeks after receipt, will yield a freshly-notarized copy of my birth certificate. Then, I get to submit this new copy with a different form (and $10 check) to a different department for the apostille. Plus, I have to get a proof of good conduct paper from the local police, which also needs—you guessed it!—another apostille.
So, the moral of today's story is: bureaucracy sucks. Also, it's a good thing I have all summer to work on this list. It's going to take a lot of time (and even more Diet Dr. Pepper) to get through it all.
Coming up next time: medical exams (or, how not to be a Typhoid Mary)

Today I go for an interview.. Hmmm.. Quite scared of it.. Scare they ask me some hard questions and scare to talk to strangers, the interviewer.. Actually this job is seeking for Marketing Executive, I also don't know why I applied, wondering.. This company offer is quite attractive, basic salary, allowance and incentive.. Sounds good, I have counted, if I work for this, I may get minimum RM2500 per month.. As a fresh graduate, more than 2K per month consider "many".. In other way, degree student can get a better offer, I think.. But there are too many degree holders, so competitive is very high.. Too many people are high educated than me and willing to work harder.. So my chance will be reduced.. It's really hard to get a job that I want for..
This afternoon I received a call for interview, the company is just somewhere near Ampang Point.. So sad.. Hmmm.. I should be very happy about, because it's near my house, but, the lady told me their company will shift to Puchong in this two weeks.. Huh!! Why?? Tell me why?? Hopefully they will hire me, because the post is Advertising Executive, related to what I'm studying.. Hehe!! Wait and see..
Another thing, after CNY, there are not much movies showing.. So this few weeks just watch 2 movies, "One Missed Call" and "10000 BC".. This movie was so nice.. I like it!! There are mammoths and some extinct animal.. Can't see them anymore, just their bone will display at the museum.. Too bad!!

Today marks the start of Week 2 of getting up at 5am to workout and it's really working for me!
I was in bed reading by 8:30 last night and the lights were off by 9:15. I hopped right out of bed this morning when the alarm went off. Sometimes, I have trouble wrapping my head around the idea that by 8am, I've already been up for 3 hours!
I'll admit that towards the end of last week getting up wasn't as easy as at the beginning. I've had my alarm set to play music instead of its annoying beep and I was a little worried it wouldn't wake me because Chris' alarm doesn't wake me. Instead, the music gradually wakes me up instead of jolting me out of bed and it's been nice! Unfortunately, when the alarm went off on Thursday, the DJs were talking and Chris elbowed me to turn it off so I jolted awake like with a beeping alarm - not so nice. :( On Friday, I woke up at 5 with the shakes so I crawled back in bed and got up at 6 with Chris; I didn't work out that day but did take a little nap on the couch downstairs while the four of us were hanging out down there. I needed it!
There have been quite a few benefits to getting my workout done in the morning and not too many cons.
I don't spend all day worrying about when I'm going to be able to fit in a workout.
I'm awake before the kids and I'm able to have at least an hour to myself before facing their endless energy first thing in the morning.
It sets the tone of the day for me - I'm more likely to eat well all day when I've started the day off with a workout.
I'm more productive! By 8am, I've worked out, showered, gotten dressed and gotten the kids and myself breakfast. With my previous schedule, we were lucky if we'd finished breakfast by 8! Now, if we have errands, we can get out of the house earlier. I have more time for playtime and I'm able to fit chores in more easily.
Although I've never really had an issue with my water intake, I'm definitely getting more water now. I've already had 3 cups shortly after my workout and usually drink 2 full Nalgene bottles by the end of the day (until last week, I thought my Nalgene held 4 cups of water and it actually holds 5 so I've been drinking more than I thought all along). Add to that a cup or two (or three) of tea and that equals a lot of time in the bathroom! That may be the only con I've found to getting up early and it's really not that bad.
The hardest part to waking early is getting to bed early but it's just because I'm not used to it yet. My goal for this week is to be ready for bed by 8pm and in bed, either reading or ready to sleep, by 9pm.
Am I on my way to becoming a morning person?

Happy National Watermelon Day! Have a slice or two in honor of the day!
I took this photo a few years ago. It was a very tasty and juicy melon.
Damn, that made my mouth water.
ok….my mouth is watering as well…
That looks amazing! And the best thing is there aren't any seeds. The seeds bug me.
I've tried, but I just can't like watermelon.
Mmmmm…watermelon is so sweet and delicious. It fully deserves its own special day.


text: I took my Solo to the range today for the first time. I am very pleased with it. I broke it in with 50 rounds of Fiocchi 124 grain FMJ, 7 rounds of 147grain Speer Gold Dots, and 14 rounds of 115 grain Hornady Critical Defense. Zero malfunctions! I know it's not that many rounds down range yet, but I am very pleased so far. :thumbup: The fit and finish of this gun are outstanding. The coating Kimber uses on this gun is impressive also. It cleans up so easily after the range, it almost seems like non-stick cookware.

First up, is a lot of 2 Lesneys I picked up on ebay for a very reasonable price. About $5 shipped!
I've been after a disc wheel Ferrari for ages. Not that they're particularly hard to find, it's really a common variation. I just always seem to come a minute late and a dollar short... It's not in the best shape, but I'm glad to finally have one! Still looking for a nicer example though.
Next, is a car from a series I've been slowly collecting for a few years now, the 1997 Gold Series 75 Challenge. I only have 10 or 12 of the 75 cars, but I don't buy them all that often. They're easy to find, only a few rare ones. However, people tend to want very large amount of money for them, so I only buy them online when I can get them for $4 to $5 shipped, which isn't easy.
This one is the Ford Ambulance, which is a very nice casting, from a great era of Matchbox. I love the mid to late 1990s models, they were just so well done and realistic. Maybe I am wearing my rose tinted glasses when it comes to them, it was my childhood after all...
Thirdly, I picked up these two from one of the various diecast groups on Facebook (which you should click on this link and like LA's Diecast).
These were Zamac models, exclusive to Toys R Us back in 2004. Very similar to the Walmart-exclusive models we have today, they're identical to the regular mainline cars, just without paint. I was a fairly young collector in '04, but I remember these being much harder to find than the new Zamacs are now. I never found one in the store. But these are two castings that I have a nice collection of, and I had to jump on them when they were listed for the reasonable price of 2 for $5.
And lastly, we come to a model that regular readers of this blog will probably recognize very well, the Lesney Ferrari Berlinetta. I'm genuinely addicted to this casting, and can't resist bidding when I see a cheap one on ebay. I was the only bidder on this very nice example, and it came in at around $4 shipped. Not bad!!
That's all I found this week. Check back next Saturday evening to see if the week brings any more interesting finds!

County Fair Parade
We didn't have many of what I think of as traditional floats. I missed getting pictures of the horses, shriners, firetrucks and other individuals.
The implement dealers participate by showing off their new equipment. Many are so big they can't go down the street with out removing parts.
The theme this year was: Thrills, Squeals and Ferris Wheels, so this combine shows some spirit.
The kids enjoy it all. There is so much candy thrown that they bring sacks to collect it in. Reminds me of Halloween. My youngest grandson has his mouth full as he reaches out for more.
It's okay to eat stuff I pick up from the street today, isn't it Mama?

This brings back memories of parades in my hometown. I know the grands had a great time - such cute pictures.

I missed the Fair parade this year because I was out of town, but yours looks very similar. Here, all of the rural fire districts and the local fire department bring up the end of the parade. Some even give willing kids or adults a dousing.

Wish I had a piece of that candy! Fun photos and fun captions. My dad loved to drive his antique cars and tractor in parades. He also had an "aqua car" for a year or two that was both a boat and a car. I'm sure he drove it in a few parades too.

Makes me think of the great parades we used to have in Brewster on Homecoming. They aren't near as elaborate today as they used to be, but still lots of fun for the kids. Our town was so small that kids would march through the parade in the band, then hurry back to the school so they could sit on their class float. The floats were amazing. They're pretty simple now. Time and Money, I suppose.

1. The plaintiff, a Hindu widow, instituted the suit which has given rise to this second appeal for maintenance against the defendant, her husband's brother. Both the lower Courts have found that the defendant is in possession of family property yielding about Rs. 100 a year. The plaintiff has private property out of which she could get Rs. 40 or 50 a year The lower Courts have awarded to the plaintiff Rs. 20 a year. Mr. Ramesam for the plaintiff contends in second appeal that the income of the family property being small, and the plaintiff having independent means of maintenance is not entitled to get maintenance out of her deceased husband's estate. His argument is that a widow who is able to maintain herself out of other property has no right to claim out of her husband's estate anything for that purpose. In our opinion this view cannot be supported. It is based on an entirely wrong conception of the right sought to be enforced. The wives of the male coparceners in a Hindu family are not entitled to equal shares with the males in the family estate, not do they take their husband's shares by representation on their death, but in place thereof they are entitled to a portion of their estate for their enjoyment during their lifetime, sufficient to maintain them in comfort according to the means of the family. This is an absolute right due to their membership in the family and does not depend on their necessity arising from their want of other means to support themselves. At a partition made by the husband during his lifetime between his sons his wife was at one time entitled to an equal share with his sons. Mitakshata Chapters 1 and 2 Slokas 8 and 9. According to the Dayabhaga the husband's undivided share descends to this widow in its entirety. According to Katyayana, the widow may claim either a portion of the estate or an allowance for her maintenance. The same view is maintained by Vrihaspathi. See G. Sirkar Sastri's Viramitrodaya page 173. Mr. Ramesam relies on Ramawati Koer v. Manjhari Koer (1906) 4 C.L.J. 74 in support of his contention. That case no doubt is in his favour. But with all deference, we are unable to concur in the view taken there. The authorities cited in the judgment do not support the view. The passage cited from Mr. Mayne's work shows only that the private means of a widow may be taken into account in determining the quantum of maintenance to be decreed to her. The decision of the Privy Council in Narayan Rao Ramachandra Pant v. Ramabai (1879) L.R.A. 114 has really no bearing 'on the point. Mr. Sirkar Sastri's view in his book on Hindu law is not to the effect that the right to maintenance can be extinguished by the possession of other property by the widow. We must hold that the plaintiff is entitled to some maintenance out of her husband's estate. We cannot say that the amount awarded is excessive.
2. We dismiss the second appeal with costs.

In this interview, I speak with Ray Edwards about the importance of learning how to write good copy.
In this interview, I speak with Ray Edwards about the importance of learning how to write good copy.
In his latest book, "How to Write Copy That Sells", Rays says, "It is my proposal to you that copywriting is, in fact, the most pivotal and essential business skill you can learn."
I can't agree more with Ray on this point. Learning copywriting has taught me to look through the eyes of the prospective student, to feel their frustrations and understand their needs. This has had a major impact in all areas of my life.
Ray and I cover many topics and I urge you to take the time to listen to this interview more than once. I also urge you to take notes as Ray shares a wealth of information.
- We cover topics including –
- What is copywriting?
- Can anyone learn this skill?
- What is the most common mistake people make when writing copy?
- What role does copywriting play in the design and development of online courses?
- Is it possible to sell without being "Salesy"?
- What are the building blocks of good copy?
- Is email marketing really dead?
And so much more.
Have a listen and let me know what you think. But most importantly claim your free copy of Ray's book. I'm serious! Just do it…
I have prepared a PDF with more information about Ray and how you can contact him. You can get your copy HERE.

a long, long morning
I had some extra time so I usually like to check my email first thing so I come in here and I see something that tickles me pink. As I mentioned I have been searching and searching for some info on my dad that was killed before I was born. Mama and Dad had just found out that this wonderful "me" was on the way and bam- he gets killed.
All my life the two families have been kinda like the Cowboys and the Indians as not so much as to how he was killed, as he was hit by a car, very simple, but differed on why he got hit by the car. My mother having being there; I figured knew the correct version better than the Indians did. The Indians kept telling me he was a working on his car, had the hood up and turned to walk to the back of the car to get a tool out of the truck and bam he got hit. Well my mama told me he was breaking up a fight and got shoved out in front of the car. Close, but not exactly right. Sparing me maybe....
So I finally made some contact with a live chat person at a Colorado site and they referred me to the Pikes Peak newspaper who might could help me- so off goes an enquiry to them about the death of my dad on September 4, 1943. Thinking it was so long ago I knew it was a long shot. I gave them the needed info and went on my merry way.
Well bless Pat this morning I see an email from them, opened it and they told me that they had the details on my dad's death. I bout croaked. It was in PDF form which I detest to the nth degree, cause I do not know how to wiggle around that place. Anyhow I opened the PDF file and there it was... on the front page even! Well I hafta be honest I got the cold chills and as nervous as I possibly coulda been, yet excited even at 6:45 in the morning. Yay me! I proceeded to read about my Dad. I am also waiting on his military records. I requested them online and they will come by snail mail. The other item is a whole nother story.. :) I had folks wanting to see both, so I killed two birds with one stone.
The bottom line is this, if he had been home that Saturday night at 9:30 with his pregnant wife and his two year old son, he might not have gotten hit by no car. Now that is just my opinion.
Mamamouse and Connie you are both right in your comments and thank you for them. Thank you for straightening me out! And I do generally make somebody laugh if I happen to get out and be around folks. It just happens, cause I am truly witty in more ways than one.. thank you both so much for reading and commenting. Mamamouse I am so glad you back and Connie what would I do without you? You are precious and I love you both!
I gotta run, gotta get my hair done today and even with getting up early I am still running behind.
Have a good one folks!
A PS... Mamamouse I am sorry that you are not in good health and I hafta understand also that I am not on disability for the fun of it. I had far rather be well as I am sure you do, so if this is about all we can do, then I am just going to be blessed that I can do this much and Thank the good Lord for giving me the strength that I do have. I fail in being more thankful, more in my mind than in my heart. Also Jana, thank you hon as your comment just came in. You are loved as well! Have a blessed day all of you. Hang in there Mamamouse and Connie please remember me and Mamamouse in your prayers. Good day.
God Bless!

Oh Moo ... you ARE in my prayers as are all my friends both on line and off. Of course there are FAR more on line .....
And Jana made me laugh on a previous post, telling you to drink lots of water and pee all night if you have to 'cause it will at least get you up and moving! LOL While very true .... disturbed sleep isn't good for you either. There MUST be a happy medium there don't you think? Maybe drink the water early in the day .... and go dry in the evening. Might keep the old kidneys and bladder from working overtime while you're trying to sleep.

I'm glad you found out about your
Dad, though I'm sorry it wasn't what you were hoping to find out. I'm doing some family research too - my brother told me yesterday that he has a 50 year old picture of my great-grandfather Stuart Hornbek, grandfather Victor Hornbek, his dad David Walker, and him, Brian at 2 years old. I can't wait till he sends it to me and I can share it with my Blog family.
Please don't take my "advise" and drink water and stay up peeing all night, that wasn't what I meant. I was trying to say that if you drink a lot of water and pee a lot then you're getting up outta your chair - which is a good thing. Like I told Mickey, I'm not a professional, not a doctor and not trained to diagnose treat or cure any illness. I can only speak from personal experience. Water is the only medication I know of that has no side-effects listed on the bottle. =-). Hugs to you too!

Oh wow, Claudia! How exciting - and probably not a little - well - maybe upsetting. But at least you KNOW. Good for you for pursuing this. You're in my prayers. Love...

Chemo-12! THE FINALE!!
- You know the drill, I'll surface back up again in couple of days..
- Tried to sum it up in short.. It all started here:
"Happy birthday to me. I turned 29.
And I just found out I have cancer." Kicked off back in May when I was told I have Stage 4 Cancer.. And that's when the journey started, 5 months of utter hell, pain, and struggle..
I FourMe withstood Stage 4 Cancer, 2 tumours, affected lymph nodes, liver, spine, abdomen, part of bones lower back. Muscle aspiration (biopsy, while awake). Operation for 3 biopsies. And the MOST PAINFUL experience on the planet Bone Marrow Biopsy :'(
Withstood a YEAR long of PAIN along with being unable to diagnose. 12 Chemotherapy sessions! 2 suffocations. Lung failure scares. Hundreds of blood tests. Blacking out. Humiliation. Breathlessness. Hair loss. Change in figure. Endless X-Rays, MRI's, CT-Scans, and PET scan. Possibility of never having children. Shoulder scare. Pains and aches. Depression. Tiredness. Lethargy. Exhaustion. Heart scare. CONTINUOUS NAUSEA for 6 months! Medication from 7 to 21 pills a day!! PEG injection (most painful injection on planet).
Had 10 and 20 year long friends stop asking about me because I'm sick! My supposed love of my life and soulmate ex, heard I have cancer and did NOT even send me a text msg saying salmat (probably he forgot the time I held his hands while he was scared to have blood tests done)!! Some other so called friends backed off gradually.
Withstood seeing the pain I'm causing my mother and her desperation of seeing her only daughters' life threatened with Cancer. Pain caused aunts and loved ones.
Withstood signing papers consenting to chemotherapy and acknowledging the damage it could cause me, terminal damage and fatality.. And took OFF my bra in Marks & Spencer's food hall !
What have you been up to in the last 5 months? I tell you one thing I went to hell and I came back.. I was tortured in every way possible, physically, mentally, and emotionally.. I've learned more in 5 months than I have learned in 29 years..
I learned that I am beyond strong esmillah 3alay, I learned I can go through anything and come out standing. I learned that when God loves you he tests you.
Dear God, my only wish and hope is I won't need more than 12 sessions and I will be cured with your will. If this is not what you want I fully accept it and willing to go through what you have destined for me. I feel young I want to do so much yet if you have other plans for me then so be it. Thank you God for my family, friends, and wonderful strangers who were there for me during this extremely rough time. Thank you for my cancer, thank you for my pain that taught me to be happy, thank you for letting me go through so much chemo and still come out of it alive and kicking. Alf ALF ALF il7amdillah 3ala n3mtik. Alf il7amd lik ya rabi alf il7amd :)
My results should come out end of November.. Till then I FourMe am eternally grateful to each person that left me a comment, email, tweet, or prayed for me in silence.. Thank you, you made a sick girl very happy during the roughest time in her life, much appreciated and God will reward you one way or the other for your generosity :*
I am 29 years old and I WILL beat Cancer with God's will before I'm 30 INSHALLAH!!
Alf ALF il7amdillah..
FourMe Over and OUT :)

I decided I had too many blogs so I deleted my photography blog . From now on, any pictures that I feel like I want somewhere other than lost in a folder on my desktop will probably end up on this blog!
Ali and I had a fun time looking for and trying to take pictures of butterflies while we were in West Virginia last week. It's not that easy to capture the perfect picture of a moving creature but we tried to be really quiet and do our best. I liked the way most of them turned out.
(for those of you that don't know, if you click on the picture you should be able to see it better)
I loved finding one colored daisy in a field of white or green!
I love daisies, and thought these were fun pictures!

I'm so sorry for all the pressure I've put on you, I never meant to make you feel scrutinized or to make you feel that you had no say in our relationship. I know we've had a rough couple of weeks, mostly due to my own stupidity, but I hope you can take this apology and believe me when I say that this is all done. I'm so sorry for everything, the name calling, blaming, and most of all not trusting you.
The truth is that I have never loved someone, nor have I ever been loved so much by a person. I got so obsessed with the fact that I found the right guy for me, that I forgot what you and I were all about... Which is Love.
I'm so sorry for putting pressure on you about things that truly in the end, aren't the most important thing in the world, the important things are that you and I are both happy in this relationship, and I am sorry for not making you happy. Getting back to us is number one on my list, and I hope you can agree. After all, who needs a stupid ring to prove anything? I have your love, which to me, is everything.
Yes, I still one day, want to get married, and i know one day we will get there, but as for now I am just going to be happy with what we are and what we are going to become.
I hope you can take this as me asking for forgiveness to you and hoping to move forward.
I love you very much Sean.

I kicked mine, yelled at it and threw a few stones at it because it's a piece of shit that won't run.
today finally got round to replacing my thermo fan switch, flushed out my heater core too. my heater would barely demist the windscreen before, searched online and found a guys post from canada talking about the poor performance of his 86 heater and how he fixed it.
my red 86 had a great heater and my new white 86 one sucked so i knew how efficient it should have been, i popped off both the inlet and outlet pipes leading to the core on the firewall side and got my garden hose out first off just flushing it out, fair amount of 28 year old poo coming out from the core from both pipes. I kinked the garden hose with my hand and let it build pressure and then released it and the amount of crap coming out of the core was incredible. make sure your not standing it front because the water shoots out about 2-3m high.
if your heater sucks i recommend doing this, takes all of 20 mins and now my heater works great.
just trying to get my new 86 ready for the classic japanese show on the 20th really, giving it a good clean etc. got a massive stone chip about the size of a 10 cent coin today in my brand new windscreen, bit annoying but ehh... what can you do, shit happends
so what did you do on your ae/ke today?
I kicked mine, yelled at it and threw a few stones at it because it's a piece of shit that won't run.
Sounds like a good result Geoff! In preparation for All Japan Day I polished up the chrome work on the ke70. Began with the trims around the windscreen, then the ones above the doors which run down the a pillars and then the chrome wheel trims and centre caps. Then I began doing the brass heater fittings and pipes, along with the airfilter clips (also chrome) and coil all came up like new. Then with some carby cleaner I sprayed some of the fiddly little vac valves on the air filter assembly which were a tad dirty and lastly polished the airfilter housing so it matches all the other shiny fittings and components. Lastly Ill spray a little tyre shine in the bay to give it a lush factory look. Next is the removal of the guard indicators so I can polish the lenses and also the pair on the front bumperbar.
sounds good ben,looking forward to seeing it at the show. man i'd love to get some good rims to set off my car, doubt that will happen this week. would've liked to get a jdm intake on there too but cant find one in my price range
After taking my kelpie to herding school I got him to help me slap on some vertex side skirts and rear bar. It was getting dark so I rushed it and it turned out pretty rough. I still love it though. So tough.
This weekend i sorted out putting my front zenki lip to my kouki trueno. Big ups to Dan.91 for all the help and spraying the front bar/lip. Pretty much custom brackets were needed to be made up to make this lip fit on. Bough a couple L bend metal plates from Bunnings and it was then bent into C shapes =P Lip was fitted on and now it looks awesome. Also swapped over my eyelids and indicators to some newer ones.
Lip flipped upside down showing the brackets:
Final result:
Next plans before the Jap Meet would be custom fitting these AE82 number plate tail lights for my redlines...mock fitment looks pretty good
did the lip reach both ends of the bumper ok? i was tugging on mine like all hell and still few cm off
Its not an AE or KE, but i went to pick my corona up from the RWC place after being told the check was done, when i got there i was told my rona was to big a peice of shit and the didnt finish checking it. I cant belive these guys some of the things they have listed are rubbish. Owell i told then to finish checking and to let me decide if it is worth spending the cash or not

Christina Hoff Sommers criticizes feminist driven public policies that not only favor girls' development at the expense of boys, but also sees boys as fundamentally pathological.
Has feminism changed from a movement for equality to a movement toward superiority? It seems that Social Justice these days is not really about justice, but more about revenge. What do you think?
The video below looks to give a more rounded view on the influence of feminism in education. Christina Hoff Sommers even goes as far to say that young boys in school are not considered politically correct by the system, thus they are not well looked after and supported. The stats show that women, not men are doing better in education by an ever-increasing margin, yet where is the help for boys in education, all the while there is still much help for their female counterparts.
This video also proves another point. That men and boys seem dependent on women to speak up for them and determine what is "fair". It is generally considered not politically correct for men to speak up for men or boys, so it has been left for women to do it. Perhaps true equality is impossible in a sinful world. Humans are just too selfish, so the pendulum swings from one group to another without ever obtaining true equality. What are the spiritual implications of political correctness and the lack of help for men and boys in education and society. Hopefully a decent and fruitful discussion can ensue rather than a shouting match where biased groups debate for their own interests only.April 19, 2017 at 6:36 pm #819191t8Participant

Amazing that there was no topic on feminism. It is one of the great movements in Western society, and while it purports to being about equal rights, many argue that it is really just a hate movement against men and the family too. What do you think? I post this meme to spark some debate on the subject.

CBS shouts Yehey!
"Yehey!" as Cebu Bloggers Society pipz finishes their group shot.
As yehey.com invaded bloggers in Luzon, at Manila specifically, the digital team wants to extend the happiness, enjoyment and a great accompaniment of bloggers to Visayas and Mindanao, Thus last Thursday, May 28, 2009 marked the beginning of the good relationship between Yehey and Cebu Bloggers Society.
Yehey.com was successful to introduce and present what their company is all about, how Yehey affect Filipinos nationwide and they were able to let us understand how Pinoy being locked up by some foreign websites, it maybe a simple search engine site but so with social networking online and other stuffs. As confirmed by the team and as showed in some surveys, Philippines always stand top in terms of internet usage, hours of online, percentage of share in every social networking like multiply, facebook, friendster, etc and even in just searching on some related topics on google, yahoo, ask.com and other search engines, Filipino stand out.
As i understand, this could be a win-win situation. Yehey promises CBS that in every events, there is always a specific activity or program that could satisfy bloggers physically, emotionally, socially and of course mentally – as we acquire new information and or knowledge. And of course, Bloggers could bring back the happiness to the advertiser simply by blogging non-biasly, meaning write what you see, think and say.
Discovering Cebu: La Maison Restaurant
"If you see something, say something"
That what this something is all about. La Maison is a great restaurant. Smiling service crew, waiter and waitress are well trained (not to mentioned how many times i asked them of a glass of water, still they wear the smile that the customers need) I hope they will always remember that the best appetizer that every customers can get is the best service crew that a certain restaurant, cafe or even in a simple carenderia can have. The best — because they entertain, love and serve the eaters pleasantly and promptly.
La Maison offers great foods, from appetizer (Tostitos), to main dish and even in dessert (even though, we are not served with one). What I love and enjoyed very much on that moment is that meat poured with some sauce, they call it Barkada Ribs. Eventhough i felt a little something as i saw something in my rice,, still i managed to finish my carbonara with sea foods in it, they call it Seafood Marinara. At the end, the team has not eaten all served dishes as our stomach are all full. Yummy!
[click this picture if you want to see what this something is all about]
La Maison Restaurant is located in Ayala Center Cebu in their wonderful terraces. You can contact them at this number: (63 32) 415-7077 to 78
This food trip at La Maison Restaurant is just a start of some future events that Yehey.com can offer and will offer to bloggers in Visayas especially in Cebu. And CBS is looking forward on it.

Yes, of course it's terrible.
Which you've probably heard by now, or probably presumed anyway months ago. Reading a review saying that Fifty Shades of Grey is not a good movie, for presumably most of you, would be like reading an article in the news saying that the sun set in the west last night. Reactions have generally fallen on one side or the other, either emphasizing that it's better than the unreadable book (Ariel's reaction, mirrored the Guardian going so far as call it "better than it has to be", as well as pretty hilariously by Roxane Gay) or that it's not watchable enough to be a good "bad" movie (thoughts shared by friend-of-the-blog Ellen and by my girlfriend). It's sort of fascinating how reactions fall into this hazy abyss of "it's not good… but not as bad as… but not bad enough to be good…", which are ironically the only shades of grey actually involved in Fifty Shades of Grey.
So what does that actually mean? To the benefit of basically no one, the movie is painfully faithful to the book.
Sure, this does mean that because of the story's stupidity and ineptitude, there is plenty of unintentional comedy gold. The movie tries in vein to filter out the book's stupidest details, sure. Ana's "I've never had a computer before!" is subtly replaced with "I'm having computer troubles" by at least someone working on this movie who had been in the 2010s decade before. But, inevitably, a great deal of it is even because of what must have been a serious journey on the strugglebus to try to bring this story to life. Ana has her cliched trip over nothing into Christian's office, which is somehow even funnier with the magic of film, which cut the shot at her upper body so she literally trips on nothing. Jamie Dornan struggles mightily to find any way to deliver the "I don't make love. I fuck. Hard." line, which was about the point in the movie where I realized that Dornan's interpretation of Christian Grey was basically "I don't think he's ever blinked".
Which, of course, brings us to Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan. Dakota Johnson's first fifteen minutes of dialogue are 80% loud breathing, and 100% of Dornan's dialogue throughout is conveyed with the same raspy, vaguely amused, monotone. And that pretty much sets the tone for the movie. Much has been made of how Johnson's portrayal of Ana was the unexpected highlight of the film, and I applaud the reviewers who put so much effort into trying to find something to like about this movie. This is still E.L. Jame's brainchild; there's simply nothing to bring to this character. It's like praising the depth Amanda Seyfried brought Karen in Mean Girls. I suppose they both got the characters "right" – Johnson is a perfectly amorphous Ana and Dornan nails Christian Grey in that "If someone told me this was an episode of Dexter, I might believe them" way – but I'm not sure when I last watched a movie where you could see the actors trying this hard.
However, and if there is a single redeeming scene in the movie, it's when Ana drunk dials Christian and starts doing a mocking imitation of him and the confusing way he's pursuing her. The result is an unexpectedly beautiful five seconds where Dakota Johnson does a better Christian Grey than Jamie Dornan does. It says a lot about the quality of the script and the source material that these people are working with. Otherwise, Johnson and Dornan's chemistry is so absent that even the audience (which had cheered at Christian's first "Laters, baby" and – perplexingly – at the first shot of the helicopter) laughed when Christian and Ana admired their picture in the paper and Christian stated, "It's a good picture", because falser words had never been said.
But then again, maybe it's not Johnson or Dornan's fault. Maybe their chemistry is so bad because no human would have any idea how to react to any of the nonsense that happens in this story.
So it's bad. Yes. It's very bad. But those hoping for a new The Room or Sharknado will be disappointed. Once I gave up on the movie somehow being good (which, admittedly, is not a hope I can say I held onto for more than a few lines of dialogue), I shifted gears into its so-bad-it's-good potential, but it fails there too. Zillions of people come through the revolving door of minor characters for their four minutes to four seconds of screentime. Christian's mother is shown into Christian's apartment before Christian politely announces he's going to show her out about two minutes later. It was when I joked, "But you just got here!" during that scene that I realized I was making the exact same quips that I do during The Room, but having way less fun.
But perhaps the most damning moment where Fifty Shades of Grey reminded me of The Room was the sex scenes, which is really pretty bad.
Despite being first and foremost an erotic romance, the sex scenes in Fifty Shades of Grey are only just not-reminiscent of the sex scenes in The Room. They certainly go on as awkwardly, painfully, "are we really going to play the verse and the chorus of the song?" long. They're also about as close together in places as they are in The Room, sometimes literally being every other scene. They don't even have the benefit of being unintentionally hilarious like in the book, unless you count the astonishingly terrifying soundtrack.
But despite the point I made in my piece earlier this week about how without the book's amateurism ultimately making the movie's problematic and completely not self-aware story worse, there are actually a number of moments where the movie is worse than the book. The ending is spread out with agonizingly slow pacing, somehow proving there was a worse possible ending than the book's abrupt and obvious cliffhanger, and even the introduction of Christian's "Laters, baby" catchphrase, which he steals from his brother, happens more transparently in this movie.
But maybe the best example of the movie being worse than the book – that made me go, "there was no one who thought maybe they could take at least that part out?" – was the bit where Ana lies to two
"Look at him!" one of the girls beside me breathes enthusiastically to her friend.
"He's hot." […]
"Must be Christian Grey."
"Is he single?"
I bristle.
"I don't think so," I murmur.
"Oh." Both girls look at me in surprise.
"I think he's gay," I mutter.
"What a shame," one of the girls groans.
Why would Ana do this? Maybe jealousy, but it's hard to tell in the murky waters of E L James's character motivations. But Ana's "I think he's gay", inexplicably left in the movie, actually manages to be more gay panicky, as she leans forward with a smirk on her face, makes her insinuation, and then the scene abruptly cuts, allowing an even more uncomfortable homophobia to linger in the air instead.
So the movie is bad. It's bad as a movie, it's bad as a so-bad-it's-good movie, it's bad as a story, and it's bad as a cultural barometer. Maybe those first three are points you are already aware of, or have guessed or assumed, and have maybe long since stopped caring about. And I feel that. I recently wrote another piece about Fifty Shades and how tired I am of it for NPR, on which someone wrote a deeper-down-the-rabbit-hole kind of comment about how they're tired of all the hate about Fifty Shades, simply because they couldn't understand why people put so much energy into disliking it.
There are good questions to ask here. Why should anyone care? By this point, you know if you like it or not, and if you don't, it's just a movie. It's just a voluntary cultural experience that you can decide isn't your cup of tea and happily never indulge in it. But it's that fourth point about why the movie is bad – as a cultural barometer – that is why I think it's still worth bringing it up. Like it or not, Fifty Shades is still a product born of the society we participate in. Which isn't to say that we all take a responsibility for it. Fifty Shades will continue to make shittons of money, to go on to make sequels that could even be written by E L James, and will probably have it's third movie split into Fifty Shades Freed: Part One and Two, as is in accordance with the book-trilogy-to-movie-trilogy passed down to man from on high. It will continue to be a deeply, deeply, deeply, deeply, deeply problematic story that a distressing amount of people love, or at least casually enjoy.
But there's still a conversation to bring some snark to.

The Chateau de Villandry was my favorite with Chmenceau coming in a close second. Both castles had huge moats and you could take a boat ride along the river.
I can't believe I am down to my last 4 days in Paris. If I wasn't going to Italy and then coming back to France, I think I would be spending my last few days in tears! :-) I have to say, Paris is not completely my cup of tea - too much pollution for me - but as soon as you travel a little outside of the city, it is amazing. Also, while I didn't get to see the end of the Tour de France, I definitely heard about it and saw pictures! Even French people who aren't into cycling follow the tour and there is an update on the news every single night of who is in the lead and who is in the yellow jersey. Very exciting!

Startup Weekend Oakland: Hacking Bias, October 7-9 with Mitch Kapor (Mentor Class 21) and Brian Dixon (Class 21)
Mitch Kapor (Mentor Class 21) and Brian Dixon (Class 21) are set to be mentors at the upcoming Techstars Startup Weekend in Oakland, taking place at the Kapor Center for Social Impact. Startups in the "people operations" space are invited to take part—companies and entrepreneurs with ideas in mind, or those just looking to explore tech solutions to "hack" bias in the workforce. The weekend's winner will receive a free 12-week Uptima Business Bootcamp and 3 months of mentorship from Mitch Kapor.
In this event's unusual format, all participants are welcome to pitch their idea and receive feedback from the group on Friday evening. Teams then form organically around these ideas; those with the most votes or team members carry on past Friday night. Per the event website, "What follows is a 54 hour frenzy of business model creation, coding, designing, and market validation. The event culminates with presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders." And, of course, a grand prize winner. Pass the word to entrepreneurs and hackers in your networks who are up to the task of hacking bias in the workplace. [Event website]

Hian offers his take on the Vietnam tech scene, and how NSI is capitalizing on the opportunities there. Says Hian, "From the fundamental macro strategy, Vietnam has 90 million people and a GDP per capita of above US$2,000. It's very exciting when you see a company and country grow at tremendous rates—and it's just a phenomenal opportunity that cannot be missed.…NSI's responsibility [is] to find these management teams and support them with not capabilities in tech, but overall business capabilities." Hian will be a speaker at Echelon Vietnam (November 18-19), a startup and investor conference for tech firms in Vietnam.

Lylan Masterman's (Class 19) Takeaways from Botcamp on VentureBeat
Lylan Masterman (Class 19) wrote a VentureBeat article this week on his takeaways from attending betaworks' Botcamp day, the culmination of a 10-week accelerator for bot builders. Bots, or chatbots, are software programs that simulate conversation in order to automate tasks that would otherwise require a human to perform; these are made possible by the recent strides in artificial intelligence (see recode, "Bots, explained"). While it's still the early days for bot technology, functionality is improving—while the challenges of discovery and privacy, among others, remain. Read Lylan's full analysis.
Marlon Nichols (Class 18) and Trevor Thomas (Class 17) Interviewed by Hana Yang (Class 20); Marlon to Speak at A3C Music Conference in Atlanta
As part of First Republic Bank's Client Spotlight series, Hana Yang (Class 20) recently interviewed the three partners of Cross Culture Ventures: Marlon Nichols (Class 18), Trevor Thomas (Class 17), and Troy Carter. In the interview, they discuss what "cultural investing" means, their firm's focus on diverse founders, and the added benefits that their partnership with Troy's Atom Factory brings to their portfolio companies. Read the full interview.
This coming Wednesday, Marlon and Troy will speak at the A3C Music Conference and Festival in Atlanta, the pre-eminent hip-hop music conference, which features artists, investors, producers, creatives, the media, entrepreneurs, and students. Marlon and Troy will be panelists in a session highlighting the current cultural trends as well as what's to come in the hip-hop community.

Here's some more of the photos I took a week ago Tuesday at Missouri Botanical Gardens in St. Louis.
My daughter and granddaughters and the kids got ahead of me while I was taking pictures of something else. I like this image a lot.
I really like the lighting in this shot. The beds on the left are ready for planting spring bulbs. This is in the Japanese Garden.
We didn't have the entire Gardens to ourselves, but there were places where we had the run of the place.
I still have a few more shots from the Gardens, but I will save them for tomorrow.
