Chocolate bean brownies. 1½ cups pinto beans (unsalted) or black beans, drained and rinsed well. ½ cup quick-cook, gluten-free oats. ½ cup pure maple syrup. ½ cup oil (coconut or safflower). 2 tsp pure vanilla extract (do not omit this). ½ tsp baking powder. ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips, such as Enjoy Life. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and grease an 8x8in pan well. Blend all the ingredients except the chocolate chips in a food processor until the mixture is as smooth as you think you can get it. I let mine go for at least a minute. Stir through the chocolate chips and pour the batter into the pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes and cool in the pan. Cut into squares and then place into the fridge to really set well (if you can wait that long). Use the freezer if you are in a hurry, for example, if you have a long line of hungry children waiting. A trusty glass of bubbles helps, but Ive never dashed on to an empty dance floor. When your friend leans over with the tip, less elbows, more ass, you know youre not knocking it out of the park. I was once laughed off the dance floor at a work Christmas party. I am not sure I will ever recover. So the idea of doing Zumba with the children this week at our summer camp was a bit horrifying. However, when you are faced with some hesitant children and you do not want them to catch your inhibitions, you have to throw yourself into it. I have done the penguin dance, the chicken dance, the robot, the speed racer, the dinosaur walk and... Chloe leaned in at one point to give me some directions: Mummy, its two steps that way then FOUR shakes, OK. She then demonstrated some ridiculously hard little routine that required moving your bum and interlocked arms in diagonally opposite... But despite my lack of ability, aside from Coach Chloe, none of the other children noticed. They were far too busy following along themselves to look at me. So dance like nobodys watching is great advice after all or at least when you are surrounded by children and pretending to be a stegosaurus. I realised, though, that the same hesitation I have to dancing, some of our children have when it comes to trying new foods. When dancing is something you love, it is hard to understand how someone else can dread it. The same applies to an adventurous diet. Some people like to stick to the same old, same old nothing new or unusual. I can see how trying a pepper or a cherry might throw them through a loop, especially when they are surrounded by a lot of new people. I have been interested in childrens nutrition and eating habits ever since my own came along. But it is only in the past few years of running a summer camp that I have really been exposed to a variety of preferences and behaviours. Some children just need a little coaxing, a fun game or some educational motivation to start branching out. Others need time and understanding. It is tempting to get frustrated, and I admit sometimes I do, but there is often a bigger picture. Whether a new baby has come along, they are finding school difficult or having problems with friends, food is one area that children feel they can control. Short of forcing it down their necks, which may be tempting and yet no parent would ever really do, none of us can make a child eat something. In this instance, hesitancy can be a childs way of saying, hold on, I am going to decide if and what and when. While picky eating can be a frustrating phase, it is usually harmless. Check in with a doctor, dietitian or nutritionist to make sure that you have all the bases covered or some kind of supplement in place. Also, remember that in older children, this type of control can result in disordered eating so, again, keep your childs healthcare providers in the loop. Above all, if you can, and as hard as it may be, try not to let their food control affect your mood control. Reacting often perpetuates the problem, so give yourself a timeout and get creative in the. Source: www.royalgazette.com

Well I woke up & festered about a bit in my boxers & dressing gown. Ladies I can imagine how this makes you swoon 🙂
I then put on some jeans a red t shirt & shoes to go collect the wife.
Now I'm back festering in my original attire. I will probs stay this way for the rest of the day. In fairness I'mm feeling a little poorly sick *coughs*
The clothes above I'd say tend to match what I usually wear though. Casual, that's me!

An interesting little news story that has gone under the radar, but I thought some people might enjoy it, especially those of us in Pinellas County, where the "Hogans" resided for many years before moving to the high rent district of Miami's Bay Harbor Island.
Looks like Brooke is not the only teenager Terry & Linda have to worry about. Wonder if it will be covered in the next season of "Hogan Knows Best". If there is a next season.

This is a fantastic place to get ideas for new books. So, I finally decided to praticipate. Here's this weeks question:
Imagine that everything is going just swimmingly. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and all's right with the world. You're practically bouncing from health and have money in your pocket. The kids are playing and laughing, the puppy is chewing in the cutest possible manner on an officially-sanctioned chew toy, and in between moments of laughter for pure joy, you pick up a book to read . . .
I love Jane Austen. When I'm in a great mood and have time to read, I'll pull out one of her novels. I think my favorite is Mansfield Park. The young orphan girl living with her snotty relatives and secretly in love with one of the boys she grew up with. I love it that Fanny writes stories and takes care of her family.
My favorite line from an Austen novel is spoken by Lady Catherine De Bourgh. She's furious with Elizabeth Bennet and her parting shot, "I take no leave of you Miss Bennet. I send no complements to your mother. You deserve no such attention. I am seriously displeased."
Oh, to live in a world where something so simple would be considered a gave insult. It makes me laugh every time.

Touch typing is a "must have" skill in our digital world.
During this module we will learn about the correct way to type and practice increasing your touch typing speed (Words Per Minute) and accuracy. This will be of great benefit to you as you reach college and face a 14,000 word thesis!! In addition to its benefits to college life it is a key skill that employers would look for in potential staff.
Why Average Typing Speed is Important? With touch typing, it is important to start young. Studies have shown that for people ages 18 and younger, it is two times easier to learn to touch type properly. Teaching students how to properly touch type may be the most important computer skill you can give them to help them gain success in the work place. So why is your average typing speed and typing accuracy so important? The fact of the matter is that typing skills are the most important thing to learn, at any age, to make you a more coveted employee.
- Employers are more likely to hire an experienced touch typist than a hunt and peck typist, simply for efficiency. Do yourself a favor and learn the basics, if you don't already know them. You'll be surprised what a difference it makes. Test your typing speed in WPM at http://www.ratatype.com/typing-test/. After passing a test you will get a typing certificate that you may put in your cv.

Timeless by Gail Carriger
Alexia Tarabotti, Lady Maccon, has settled into domestic bliss. Of course, being Alexia, such bliss involves integrating werewolves into London High society, living in a vampire's second best closet, and coping with a precocious toddler who is prone to turning supernatural willy-nilly.
Until, that is, she receives a summons that cannot be ignored. With husband, child, and Tunstells in tow, Alexia boards a steamer to cross the Mediterranean. But Egypt may hold more mysteries than even the indomitable Lady Maccon can handle. What does the vampire Queen of the Alexandria Hive really want from her? Why is the God-Breaker Plague suddenly expanding? And how has Ivy Tunstell suddenly become the most popular actress in all the British Empire?
Review by Brittany:
As a standing fan of the Parasol Protectorate series, I knew I was going to love this one.
My favorite thing about this book was Prudence. As a toddler, she has become quite the precocious character. Her powers were also interesting, allowing her to take over the supernatural state of anyone she touches, with Alexia being the only known antidote to it. The author explores other limitations to her abilities and limitations to Alexia's abilities as well.
I also enjoyed learning more about Alexia's father and her domestic help, Floote. There was a relationship there that the author explores a bit more in this book than in previous books, but I would still like to learn more about those characters. Floote is extremely intriguing. Professor Lyall also got a bit more exploration in this novel, which I thoroughly enjoyed as well.
In the end of the book, certain characters are going through major changes. Ivy embarks on a great new adventure, and Biffy's role in the pack is altered as well. I would love to read more about these things and see how the future develops for these characters.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. It made a great addition to the series, and I'm sad that it's the end! I am planning to continue with this series by reading Carriger's spin-off that includes Prudence as the main character. If you are already a fan of Carriger's, obviously you'll want to pick this one up! If you aren't already a fan, you should become one!

I feel you with the walking the dog in subzero temps thing. Right now I'm loving that they moved the dog park to right behind my house so I can go out with him for shorter periods and just let him run rather than going on 45 minute walks!ReplyDelete
Ahh, So true! I've just started this week setting the alarm for 5 am to get up before the kids. It's so hard but there were too many things that weren't getting done if I had to wait until the kids were in bed.ReplyDelete
Dog walks this time of year are no fun at all.
I love this so much and it's so true!ReplyDelete
11 days?! ouch. lol.ReplyDelete
my cats hate when we go to the bathroom or shower or bath without them. it annoys KC but I just laugh and say it is practice for children ;)
Sending you lots of good vibes and stamina to meet all the good & bad the challenge brings!ReplyDelete
No poop for 11 days?! Holy wow!!!ReplyDelete
Sounds challenging but rewarding and sweet. :)
That picture is classic. :)ReplyDelete
Real life is beautiful and messy and unpredictable and comfortable and complicated and fantastic all at the same time. Regardless of what's going on. That's life.ReplyDelete

Chapter 237
He'd left the hotel last night deeply worried about Jon and Amanda. He'd seen Jon's anger after the concert and didn't know how to reach him, what to say to make him not dig himself into a hole he couldn't get out of.
Jon had the most amazing ability to simply "flash freeze" someone out of his life. Richie had seen him be in a room with two or three people, one of whom had done or said something that had truly pissed Jon off. No matter what was said by the person, it was as if he or she had ceased to exist. Oh, Jon smiled and was pleasant, but he didn't change how he treated them. And he never changed his mind.
Stubborn, thy name is Jon Bon Jovi.
What worried him was that Jon was reacting to what he believed Amanda had done, not what had actually happened.
Where was Mrs. Bongiovi in all this? How the hell was she going to fix something if she didn't even do the smallest thing?
He reached for his phone.
Jon first.
Jon had been pacing in his apartment for almost two hours. He knew Amanda had to have woken up by now, had seen the note in the room and hopefully had also gotten the note where he'd apologized.
Jesus, he couldn't believe what he had done. He was a lot of things, but cruel wasn't one of them.
Last night he thought he could just sleep with her. Get her out of his system.
It had failed miserably.
As he walked back and forth, his movements oddly jerky for such a physical man, he stopped only to light another cigarette. He choked back a cough as the smoke hit his throat and looked between the cigarette and the apartment windows as if one or the other would tell him what to do.
When his phone rang he reached for it quickly, eager for the distraction. He slowed once he saw the caller ID. Richie.
"Hey, Rich."
"Hey man…I just wanted…" Richie sighed, then tried again."…you two work things out?"
Work things out? I fucked her then left her in the hotel room to wake up alone…
His conscience was turning into an ugly spike-heeled bastard, gloating in the background and refusing to sit down and shut up.
He felt a flare of anger; at himself, at Richie, at Amanda. His jaw tightened.
"Nah, it ain't happen, Rich."
"What do ya mean? That woman is still crazy in love with you." Richie said, his eyebrows raising in surprise on the other end of the phone.
"So? I gave her what she wanted." Jon's voice now took on the characteristic tone Richie knew so well, the one where Jon has fucked up but doesn't want to admit it.
"What the hell does that mean?" Richie's voice reached a new level of growling.
"Hell, man, you should know. She wanted laid, she got it."
Jon knew he was lying the moment the words left his mouth.
Richie was speechless for a moment. He recovered.
"You are such a prick. Good luck finding her when you change your mind."
The phone slamming in Jon's ear was loud.
But not as loud as the voice in his head telling him he was such an asshole.
Patricia and Richie were having breakfast after his phone call to Jon. He had not been as forthcoming with her as he wanted to and decided he needed some advice outside the band, someone who could be more impartial. Patricia's next sentence helped make that decision.
"Stop me if you don't want to talk, but there is something way wrong with Jon and Amanda. I got her on the phone, but she wouldn't talk about anything. In fact, she outright refused. It was a pretty strange conversation."
Richie nodded at her.
"…yeah…shit, Trish, this is not good…" and then he told her just how "not good" it was.
When he had finished, they sat in silence for a few minutes, each lost in their own thoughts.
Pouring them each another coffee, Patricia shook her head sadly.
"Richie, you're Jon's best friend. Whatever you have to do to help them, go do it."
Looking at the woman across the table from him, Richie felt emotions stirring in his heart that he had been trying to mask for some time. He caught her hand in his.
"Trish…have I told you yet I'm nuts about you?" His whiskey smooth voice softened as he looked at her.
Slowly shaking her head 'no', she looked into the deep chocolate eyes that met hers.
He grinned at her, a twinkle in his eyes.
Then I'm tellin' ya."
She smiled back at him.
"I love you, Trish."
"I love you too, Richie."
Richie dialed Mrs. B on the way to his car. She answered on the fourth ring.
"Carol? It's Richie."
There was silence on the line.
He heard her take a breath.
"I'm here."
"Amanda showed up at the concert last night."
Carol squinted her eyes closed as she heard the tone in Richie's voice. Whatever had happened, it didn't sound as if it had gone as she'd hoped.
Now it was Richie's turn to take a deep breath.
"He was pissed. Refused to see her."
"My son can be stubborn."
"Carol, he loves her. He spent the night with her, but nothing seems to have changed."
"Richie, maybe this is for the best. Maybe they weren't meant to be together…"
"I thought you were going to help."
"I did! I'm the one who sent her a text message from Jon's phone. I thought that if they would see each other again, they would talk and she would tell him…"
"So you don't have to, right?" Richie's voice roughened as he remembered from whom Jon had gotten his stubbornness.
Carol sighed. "Richie…"
"He loves her. She loves him. He's gonna let her go, Carol. Gonna let her walk right out his life because he doesn't know the truth and she won't tell him because of you."
There was a long silence on the phone.
"Just let me have a little more time." Carol said.
"Time is not your friend here, Mom." Riche spoke softly into the phone.
Carol slowly disconnected the call.
Patricia sat on the lid of the toilet seat in her bathroom, staring blankly at the light pink walls. She'd managed to wait until Richie left, but then just barely made it to the bathroom. She'd been throwing up every morning for days. She knew she had some sort of strange stomach flu, something that only bothered her in the morning.
She shook her head as she wiped her mouth.
She wasn't sick, she was delusional.
What she had just confirmed was impossible. It just couldn't be. There wasn't a single chance, not a snowball's chance in hell, not if hell froze over, out of the realm of possibility.
Oh fuck!
She looked again. Re-read the directions, sure there had been some mistake, some human error, some stupid step she had missed.
There wasn't on the first one.
Or the second.
Or even the third.
She was pregnant.

Well Holy Cannoli to it all! A special Holy Cannoli to the last bit, too! Richie has a lot going on, but I hope he takes that last bit of news well at least.

Finally took the time to catch up on this story....only took a week...LOL
First....Richie's about to get a big distraction :) But he's going to be happy....which is nice for a change after the last few chapters.
Second....Mrs. B's got a lot of 'splaning to do to Jon to "fix this", then they have to figure out how to find Amanda. Hey, how about giving Jon the stuff Amanda left as proof?
Third....Jon you're a prick! If you don't want to believe her, fine, but at least hear her out! If I was Amanda I'd get good and lost where he'd never find me.
I feel so bad for Amanda...her heart broken...so much pain...and none of it her fault.
The only problem with being caught up is now I have to wait. :(

Posted on July 9, 2010 at 8:30 AM
Soooo missing this story... Did I say I check a couple of times a day? Hope you are getting through the loss of your Dad. I lost mine 4 years ago and know it isn't easy.
Hugs... I'll be waiting.

I was so sorry to read about the loss of your father. My prayers are with you and your family.

Please... we need another chapter.
BubbleSheep Says:Posted on August 17, 2010 at 7:29 AM
Hey Sun, just caught up with this, only one word to describe it, EPIC work of art.
I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your father, and hope you are getting through the hard times.
Thank you for providing such a great entertainment for me for the past 5 days! Here's my two cents:
1) Jon needs to get his head out of his arse. Has he heard of talking? Maybe asking why Amanda supposedly did those things to him?
2) Carol. You too need to get your head out of your arse. Talk to Jon. Tell him what you did. Repeat after me "Amanda didn't know..."
3) Captain Fantastic Richie Sambora, I know its hard, hun, but you gotta try harder to get Jon to listen!
4) Captain Fantastic Richie Sambora! Way to go dude! Haha
5) Amanda honey, this isn't your fault. Just bide your time... Jonny Boy will come back to you, just wait =P
Again, Thank You Sun!!
Muchos Love from England
Hannah xx

Sun, I have to say I don't think any other fan fiction has had my attention as my as this one. You are an outstanding writer. I felt as I was reading the chapters that I could hear everyones true voice and always moving to the next waiting with baited breath. I was so sad to hear of the lose of your father. Remember, time will heal that broken heart, with wonderful memories to carry on. I sure hope to hear more in the future......... To be continued?
Posted on August 21, 2010 at 10:47 AM
Thank you for the wonderful story. It is really good, very believable. I read it in just three days, and since the first few chapters I have really grown attached to the characters.

| Inside information - squirrels bought out the Slinky business
and began running Facebook posts on how effective Slinkies
are against squirrels. Win/win.
The truth.
Spring has arrived early in Springdale, with shirtsleeve weather outside and gentle rains falling. We had no real leaf drop until late, and then Christmas was upon us. My biggest find was in Fayetteville, when I filled our Town Car with leaf bags.
I was happy about our bird-feeding array, and tragically, so were the squirrels. One stood on the platform feeder to reach the hanging sunflower seed feeder. Another leaned over from the brick wall to reach the second hanging feeder.
Cancel your Slinky order - squirrels can reach out and hold their bodies parallel to the ground, simply hanging onto a window screen or a brick wall with their hind feet. Once they capture the feeder with their front paws, eating is easy.
Filled with wrath, I went outside to move the platform feeder. I pulled the feeder's extension pipe out to begin taking apart the platform or a move away from the handing feeders.
The bottom pipe was supported by a cinder block, gravel in the holes, and a clay foundation. That part would not move, even though the soil was soft and moist from the rains, dug by earthworms and mixed by moles.
Saving work is like saving money - very enjoyable. I decided to leave the extension pipe out, refill the platform feeder with fresh corn, and let any creature feeding near the ground try to stretch up to the hanging devices. The newly shortened platform feeder was several squirrel lengths from reaching the hanging feeder.
I filled the hanging feeders with sunflower seeds and waited for the creatures to get over the shock of a minor change. Food overcame their caution and soon we had all kinds of birds - even Cardinals - feeding from the hanging sunflower seed feeders with no meddling by squirrels.
Naturally, the squirrels came back, but they no longer have a dominating effect on the food supply. They have to work to get at a few seeds, but the birds can light on the opposite side of the hanging feeders, get their food, and leave.
|Group memory - have squirrels seen King Kong
and passed along this trick to scare away birds?
No more King Kong antics, batting away the birds.
|Wednesday's forecast - rain, 60 degrees.

There are no homes, or trees. Even the firestation was destroyed. One of the only things left standing was a grain elevator. Laura has started a project "Rebuilding Greensburg, Block by Block". There is also a Flickr group here. She is collecting 8 inch squares through her church and is organizing a group of folks to assemble them this autumn. The finished blankets will be presented to the victims of the storm. These nine squares are my first installment. I pulled out my scraps and just started knitting, adding new yarns in when I ran out. There is a mix of sock yarns and handspun and handdyed yarn.

The ILF, together with Palestinian Media Watch, on behalf of a Tel Aviv based football team, filed a personal complaint against Jibril Rajoub, Chairman of the Palestinian Football Association, PFA, for violation of FIFA's ethical code, with the intent to force them for the first time to address our legitimate concerns.
The complaint follows 10 years of hateful and inciting statements against Israeli football teams and players, and a year-long political battle against Israel through FIFA. Rajoub repeatedly attempts to convince the international football league, FIFA, to ban Israeli teams from participating in tournaments, particularly teams based in Judea and Samaria.
Many of the violations attributed to Rajoub were committed in his official capacity as the President of the PFA and have had a direct effect on players, teams and other individuals bound by the FIFA Code of Ethics. Violations include racism, discrimination, incitement to violence, harassment and the physical and mental endangerment of members of different ethnic, religious and national groups. Moreover, Rajoub, with his callous leadership, has encouraged, instructed and even coerced others to commit similar violations
According to Attorney Yifa Sega, Director of the ILF: "It is time for FIFA to handle the critical issues that endanger human lives, discriminate and generate an atmosphere of hatred and racism. These offenses not only violate international law and shock every person with a conscious and desire for peace, but also clearly violate FIFA's own ethical code. The complaint speaks for itself and FIFA must enact the full force of sanctions available to stop this dangerous behavior and send a clear message. It is clear that for Rajoub terror is a legitimate tool in his political battle and that his position in the PFA enables him to advance his political agenda by all means necessary".

I feel it is necessary for me to clear up my thoughts on my "cookie cutter/bubble" life I mentioned in a previous post. I think we should just take the word cookie cutter out of my example completely. I meant more that it is my fear that I would live a cookie cutter life in my own bubble, completely oblivious to everything and everyone around me. I often feel like this is what our society offers us. The newest car, the most money, the best clothes, the biggest house...the list continues...all of these things have to do with the way are viewed by others or how WE can be the best. How are we (myself included) taking these things and using them to glorify our God? I failed at expressing that last time. I made it sound like I was unhappy with who I am/have been and how I have lived my life. I am not unhappy with who the Lord has shaped me to be. He has been the most important part of every aspect of my tiny, and at times seemingly insignificant life. Think of who He is...all-knowing...eternal...love...all-powerful...perfectly magnificent!!! My mom said it best, "we have a good God who doesn't deal with us capriciously or randomly, but with a loving hand of perfect design..." I could never imagine that I would be so lucky to have Him love me so deeply. Because of that, I will serve and worship Him with every fiber of my being...for all of my days. It is my hope and prayer that no cookie cutter/bubble of a life gets in the way of that.
Lord, may You always be the desire of my little heart...

Year: 2003
Make: Subaru
Model: WRX
I have a Calsonic compressor (model 73111 FE021 3B463 45010) that when the clutch kicks in you can watch the center hub slip and it makes a loud screeching noise.
How come I can't find replacement clutch parts anywhere? Is the only option to replace the whole compressor?
Does any one have any experience with this symptom? Would taking it apart and cleaning the surface do anything. The Subaru manual doesn't say what the gap should be.
A rule of thumb for a clutch gap is a regular business card.
Smaller gap might help. You should be able to take the shaft nut off and remove the plate, then take out some of the shims on the shaft. The surfaces are metal on metal and there's no need to clean them unless they have oil on them. Oil could be coming from a bad shaft seal.
Does the compressor turn freely by hand? It may be about to seize on you anyway, and the whole unit must be replaced.
Are you sure it's not just the belt slipping?
If it does this after it has been running a few seconds, you could have excessive head pressure because of overcharging or inadequate condenser cooling.
The center hub turns by hand.
The belt chirped before I put a new belt and tensioner on. Now it squeals when it cycles on. You can watch the hub (the front part with three cylinders on it) slip.
What are the pressure readings at idle and 1500rpm?
Not really as you most likely are not exceeding the normal operating pressures at that low of an ambient.
Are you sure that the compressor is engaging now that it is cold out? There are so many things that can cause a slipping clutch...head pressure, corroded or dirty wire connections, a compressor that is seizing up, excessive air gap(although from your picture it doesn't appear to be too much), a weak field coil, etc. I agree with mk378, you could try removing a shim from under the hub and when the hub is off check the surfaces for oil or rust and clean them accordingly. If you try removing a shim just make sure that no part of the hub rubs against the pulley when it goes back together. That could cause heat and give you even more problems.
Take care,
[email protected]
Doubt poster would be getting much moisture removal if it was not engaging. Poster has not mentioned the defrost not working so I assume it is at this point. Hub looks burnt to me which is a sign of the compressor starting to lock up or a degree of resistance. During higher ambients I'm thinking the system could be over charged or have a high pressure issue do to some related problem. Clutch gap looks fine to me but image could be misleading. If the gap is close to 20 thousandths I would not worry about a shim.

Your air conditioner works hard every summer to keep the inside of your home cool, but that means it's likely to become dirty and clogged with such frequent use. If certain parts of your air conditioner aren't cleaned promptly, the entire unit has to work harder and use more energy to create the comfortable environment you desire. Fortunately, regular maintenance can prevent your bill from increasing.
Each spring, schedule an appointment to have your air conditioner inspected by us. We will be able to diagnose the more serious issues that sometimes arise after years of use, like refrigerant leaks, and then fix the damage to restore your high-functioning air conditioner.
Torn or disintegrated insulation can impact the air conditioner's cooling power. Inspect the insulation covering the coolant pipes each summer, and replace them if necessary to keep the air conditioner running efficiently.
Once the power has been shut off and the furnace doors removed, begin your furnace maintenance by giving the furnace wires a slight pull to ensure they are tight and properly fitted.
Replacing filters regularly is one of the most importance air conditioner maintenance tasks to tackle on a regular basis. A dirty filter forces the air conditioner unit to work harder and increases energy use. By replacing filters at the appropriate times, you can save up to 15 percent on utility costs. When a filter is clogged, it can wreak havoc on your entire system. By replacing filters, you can extend the longevity of your air-conditioner unit. Lastly, a clean air filter provides clean air for your home. This is especially important if you or someone in your family has allergies. How often you change a filter can depend on several factors, including the make and model of your air conditioner, but most experts recommend replacing your filter once a month.
Dirty air conditioner coils cannot absorb heat as effectively as clean ones, so be sure to clean the evaporator and condenser coils when necessary. You can easily do this with a garden hose, but be careful not to get any electrical connections wet. When cleaning coils, inspect the fins as they are delicate and bend easily. If you notice any bent fins, simply straighten them out using a "fin comb." Check the wiring in the condensing unit for any signs of overheating or wear (remember to turn off the air-conditioner unit before you begin). If you see burned-looking or worn-out wires, make sure to call us so we can inspect it for you.

Spiderpig Does Whatever a Spiderpig Does.
So, yesterday, I let B wear his Spiderman costume to school. I mean, how cool am I? And when I mean costume, I mean costume. Jumpsuit, spandex, SPIDERMAN. It was pretty cute. But the fam thought I was insane for letting him do this. My reasoning? He's 3. It's only going to be socially acceptable for him to dress like his favorite superhero for about 2 more years (on a related note, it will also only be socially acceptable for him to have a favorite superhero for about 2 more years). Face it, at 35, a Spiderman costume is the equivalent of a van with "Free Candy" written on the side. I'm giving myself one Mom Point on the day.

Lagg to Tarbet
At Lagg, the German from the campsite catches us up on his yellow bike. We discuss the impossibility of reaching Barnhill, where Orwell wrote 1984. Stefan gives out digestive biscuits. Uncle Rod soon speeds off up the steep climb. I follow him and Stefan up the hill. I wear heavy walking boots and the frame on the hire bike is too small. I struggle up the hill to where tall trees shade the road. Freewheeling around a series of hairpin bends we drop into Tarbet, where the island is at its narrowest point. Crofters came that way from Colonsay.

In gay news
For me, it wasn't as simple as, Was I attracted to boys? Of course I was attracted to boys (the attractive ones, anyway, like Jonathan Brandis, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jared Leto).
I was also afraid of most of them, which complicated the matter, and starting about midway through eighth grade they weren't particularly interested in me, which didn't help either. At the same time as the boys were ignoring me, I became catnip to lesbians.
Fending off anyone's advances is difficult for me, and it was even harder when I was so desperate for physical affirmation and affection. But sleepover after sleepover, I laughed off the awkwardness or said things like, "Wouldn't you be more comfortable in your bed?" In some ways, it would have been so much easier to just be like, Yes, you're right: I wear glasses and I don't wear make up, ergo, I am a dyke.
When I fell in love with a boy who loved me back my freshman year of college, I was almost as relieved as my mother. (Oh, she had her suspicions.) The longer we stayed together, the more the issue faded and I found perfect middle ground for myself. Instead of being queer, I surrounded myself with queer people. They tended to have the right politics and not care that I didn't wear make up, and the gay boys didn't scare me at all. Plus, gays and Jewish ladies are a natural constituency: we have Sondheim and Streisand in common! Not to mention intellectual snobbery.
Today I had lunch with two old friends: my oldest-and-bestest, who's now an illustrator living in a "Boston marriage" in Park Slope (or is that redundant?); and the boy who was my first kiss and seven years later my senior prom date, who's now a gay Williamsburg hipster of the first order. Both of these individuals got way more action with the opposite sex in high school than I did, in case we need a reminder of how little what we do or don't do in high school means.
I told them excitedly about today's Midwestern bombshell ("Is this Heaven?" "No, it's Iowa"). Neither cared nearly as much as I did.
There should be a phrase that applies to this situation -- like "the zeal of the convert" but specifically meaning "the zeal of the near-miss." It's akin to survivor's guilt. Straight guilt? I can't be the only one who feels it.
Anyway, well done, corn-producing, Obama-nominating state! You get two thousand gold stars in my book.

The local facebook feeds were all aflutter with the news here in non-Obama-nominating-but-oh-so-just-barely Missouri, many of them Colbertish-satirical, fearing "contamination-by-border-contact" and "The enemy is deep behind our own Real American lines. OUR MARRIAGES ARE UNDER ATTACK NEXT!!" God love this generation.
I have to remind myself that not every gay friend I have is as politically strident (to be uncharitable to myself) as I am, and often I care more about the issue than they. These are mostly the young'uns, though. Give 'em a few years. I don't need their blessing to know where I stand on the issue, and when those that were apathetic eventually and inevitably do start caring, I get to be smug about being such an enlightened hetero. *cough*
but some of us gays *were* just as excited... if not more so. (;

As an ACTUAL sephardic Jew I have to point out your definition for sephardic isn't entirely correct. All sephardic means is that you can trace your roots back to Spain and Portugal. After 1492, Sephardics moved to tons of different places - some of them joined established Jewish communities in the Muslim world but others settled in Amsterdam, England, and even The New World. Technically speaking, there is no direct correlation between "sephardic" and the "arab world". In other words, just because you are a Jew that is from Syria or Iraq, that doesn't mean you are sephardic. In fact, the proper term for Jews from the Muslim world that can't trace their roots back to Spain/Portugal is Mizrahi, which translated, means Easterner.
Just wanted to clear that misnomer up.

The current state of American and Canadian politics reminds me a great deal of Plato's parable of the cave. To be clear, I think that both the United States and Canada have a great deal in common that goes beyond their language and being located in North America. They are almost one in the same, though most Canadians will fight this argument with everything they have, for they are brought up to believe themselves superior to Americans. Yet this is in itself a manifestation of Canadian insecurities regarding their relationship to the United States. To lessen the bitterness of this fact, it is true amongst many countries where one is more dominant than the other, but linguistically or culturally they bare some similarity.
But getting away from that what I have observed is the following. Both Canadians and Americans are in general hardworking, good, honest people. They want the same as most anyone. But they are slaves in a system. The Occupy movements in many cities have not found quite the resonance with the average person that they should have. Why is that? Is it because they are Republicans or Conservatives? No. It's because they are exactly the people I just described — hardworking, good, honest folk. They all believe that if you work hard that you will get ahead. But few understand that the cards are stacked against them. As they go to work day in and day out their pay continually lowers in real terms. However, institutions are willing to lend them money to make ends meet or invest in the new tool or toy that will give them a chance to break the cycle or at least step out of the routine for a while.
This fact brings us to Plato. In the parable of the cave, Plato describes a scenario where people are chained up in a cave and only see scary shadows on the walls. If one person were to be freed and see the real world, Plato postulates, he would want to return to the cave and tell his friends about the real world he has seen:
"Wouldn't he remember his first home, what passed for wisdom there, and his fellow prisoners, and consider himself happy and them pitiable? And wouldn't he disdain whatever honors, praises, and prizes were awarded there to the ones who guessed best which shadows followed which? Moreover, were he to return there, wouldn't he be rather bad at their game, no longer being accustomed to the darkness? Wouldn't it be said of him that he went up and came back with his eyes corrupted, and that it's not even worth trying to go up? And if they were somehow able to get their hands on and kill the man who attempts to release and lead them up, wouldn't they kill him?" (517a)
Many liberals and Occupy movement members are essentially the person who has escaped from the cave and returned trying to help their friends. Perhaps they went on a trip to Europe or they simply realize that the current numbers prove that the harder you work does not necessarily result in better earnings for yourself. However, those who still believe that, feel threatened by someone coming and disrupting their reality.
In my opinion, this is exactly the obstacle that the occupy members need to help their fellow citizens get passed.

I have just finished reading Tom's little piece on relationships. It is rather an amazing coincidence, but I was going to blog on something similar! I wanted to blog about some of the special people in my life who I love.
It all started this morning with the traditional, after-church tea with gran. We arrived at her place and she had somehow managed to whip together the tea and some cake and stuff by the time we arrived which is unusual because we were not late at all. So either her vitamin supplements suddenly kicked in and she shot around her home doing everything at a ridiculous pace or somehow she bent time so that she could have more time to do things in than was actually passing...
Anyhoo, while there she produced some photographs that she had dug up. My whole family passed the photos around and as per usual, I was the very last to get to look at them (perhaps I shall rant about that at a later stage...). It was good though because it gave me more time to enjoy the delicious date (not of the romantic kind) cake that she served us with our tea.
Eventually, the photos came my way and they were of my mother and my aunt feeding my sisters with bottles at my great-aunt's old house when we were all very tiny people. One of the photos in the pile was this one here:
It is a photo of three cousins. From right to left, Me, Sarah and Duncan. I really have no idea how old I was in this photo but it just made me think about my relationship with these two nutters. The three of us have always been very good friends and have gotten into countless troubles together. We just gel so well and it makes me sad to think that I don't get to see them as much as I would like to anymore.
Some history: Sarah is four years older than Duncan and I, who are only about two weeks apart. I'm the older of us. Sarah and the two of us went through a not-so-close stage when she was a teen, but since then have all been close. Then, in the early years of Varsity, Duncan and I had a huge fight which lasted, I am ashamed to say, almost a year and a bit. We didn't talk at all and I think to a degree he still holds certain things against me. And with good reason, I suppose. And this makes me angry.
I can't believe that I would let myself get into a situation where this kind of thing would happen! And how could I have turned my back on both a friend and relative?! I say relative because he is more than a cousin to me. They both are. When my family was up in Italy and I was down here, essentially living alone, they kind of adopted me. I would go visit them on weekends and they would take me with them on holiday and everything. But now, after our fight, Duncan and I are never going to be the same, and it makes me very sad.
If you ever read this, Duncan, I just want to say that I'm very sorry and that if I could go back and stop all this from happening, I would...
And to the rest of you guys, if I EVER even look like I'm heading into the same sort of scenario with anyone, slap me silly and make me realise what I'm doing! I love you guys all so much and I don't think I could ever forgive myself if I hurt you all like I've hurt Duncan. You all is ROX!
Random Fact For The Day:
A person cannot taste food unless it is mixed with saliva. For example, if strong-tasting substance like salt is placed on a dry tongue, the taste buds will not be able to taste it. As soon as a drop of saliva is added and the salt is dissolved, however, a definite taste sensation results. This is true for all foods. Try it!

A consensus three-star prospect, Trimble is the No. 6 rated recruit from Missouri in this year's class. Trimble attended Sunrise Christian Academy in Bel Aire, Kan., where he averaged 14 points and two rebounds as a senior in 2015-16 playing for head coach Luke Barnwell. One of the team's top outside shooters, Trimble converted 45 percent of his 3-point attempts during that campaign and helped Sunrise Christian Academy to a 27-8 overall record.
"Bryan is an explosive athlete who can thrive in our program because of his relentless work ethic," said St. John's head coach Chris Mullin. "He is a versatile player with great character who we believe can make an immediate impact next season. We are thrilled to welcome Bryan to our basketball program."
Trimble was a member of the Prep Team at Sunrise Christian Academy this past season under head coach Kyle Bankhead, averaging 12 points per game against a schedule that consisted mostly of junior college opponents. He starred at the 2017 National Prep School Invitational, where he was named to the All-Tournament Team. Trimble averaged a team-best 12 points per game to help lead Sunrise Christian to a pair of wins over Our Savior Lutheran and Notre Dame Prep.
"I am very excited to join the St. John's basketball program which has great history and tradition," said Trimble. "This is a great opportunity for me to play for Coach Mullin and on the biggest stage in New York City and at Madison Square Garden. I am extremely honored for this opportunity and will work hard every day to make our program successful.""He is a big-time shooter an athlete," Sunrise coach Luke Barnwell said. "He is improving at ball-handling and decision-making." He added: "I think he was comfortable with [former Sunrise Christian forward] Marvin [Clark Jr.] and knowing him already being there for a year. He is high level shooter off the catch and is a high level athlete. Putting together mid-range and decision making will make him even better."
Trimble competed for MoKan Elite of the Nike EYBL league on the AAU circuit. Playing alongside several high major Division I prospects, including No. 1 rated 2017 prospect Michael Porter Jr., Trimble averaged five points, two rebounds and two assists over 21 games for MoKan Elite en route to the 2016 Nike EYBL Peach Jam championship.St. John's returns guards Shamorie Ponds and Marcus LoVett and will add 6-5 Arizona transfer Justin Simon for the 2017-18 season. The Red Storm roster continues to transform. They have added transfers Sedee Keita (South Carolina) and Mikey Dixon (Quinnipiac) as well as Class of 2017 Brewster (N.H.) Academy wing Sidney Wilson. Meantime, they hosted 2018 wing Nassir Little over the weekend and will also host Hudson (N.J.) Catholic guard Luther Muhammad for an official June 23-25. St. John's will also host a slew of prospects for their Elite Camp June 21, including Class of 2019 Ranney (N.J.) School stars Bryan Antoine and Scottie Lewis. **For more on what Simon and Clark bring to St. John's, click here. Follow Adam Zagoria on Twitter And Like Zags on Facebook

My boyfriend's biggest achievement last weekend: taking down the old fascia board and guttering above the kitchen and replacing it, which involved three trips to the DIY store, the complicated gluing together of two lengths of board, working in the rain and risking life & limb on our old rickety ladder.
My biggest achievement last weekend: getting an amazing steal on manicures and pedicures for the bridesmaids and me through the power of Groupon.
(Although in my defence I was his assistant on the Sunday and also stood in the rain for a good hour or so whilst clambering up our rickety ladder. And then I made dinner.)
The cat's biggest achievement last weekend: staying put in the garden. This one was celebrated by all.

My name is Lola (this is not my photo, I prefer to be discreet). My husband and I have been swingers for many years. We felt the need to explore each others' hidden sexual fantasies and when we read about the swinging lifestyle, we realized that we could actually do that together, without ever thinking about cheating. After the first few encounters with other couples we saw that we were enjoying it greatly. It took a few years for us to be able to get rid of jealousy and express our most secret and dark desires to each other, no matter how wild and shocking they might sound at first. And help each other fulfill them. And then repeat the ones that we really liked. Now that we are very experienced, we can share our advice and insights with those who are starting their journey into swinging.
One of the first questions new swingers are trying to find an answer to is: where to find like-minded people discreetly, to prevent family members, co-workers or 'vanilla' friends knowing about your secret sex life? The obvious answer would be: swingers dating sites. And we have tried many of them. So many that we have lost track of most of our memberships.
The unpleasant truth about swingers web sites is: most of them are a waste of time and money. Only few of them work. But to tell the difference, you have to actually try a lot of them.
Here is why most swingers sites don't work:
If it's a paid site, it has to have enough members in your area to entice you to join and purchase a membership. Having joined some of such sites, we discovered during a free trial that the number of members in our city is too small to warrant a payment. Many 'swingers' sites are a mixture of adult dating (singles looking for casual sex) and swinger dating. Which means that there are way too many single men, which in turn means that you will be propositioned by the people you don't want (unless you like single men).
Fake profiles. Many men put up a fake "couple" or "woman" profile in order to get you into a sex chat or to send them explicit photos.
Fake 'free sites'. Many swingers sites advertise themselves as 'free', but when you join, you find out that only basic features are free. In order to start communicating with other couples for real, you have to 'upgrade', that is, pay a fee.
Bad user interface. We ran into some sites that looked interesting, only to find out that they were highly inconvenient to use. So, after many years of using dozens of swingers websites (most of them we abandoned after a trial), here are some recommendations that may save you lots of time:
Paid site: http://adultfriendfinder.com. The membership is huge. Although the site offers a mixture of adult dating and swinger dating, there are enough swinger couples there to justify paying the membership fee. There is a free membership, but you won't be able to contact anyone unless you upgrade. It has worked for us quite well (with paid membership).
Free site: http://plentyoffish.com. Huge member base. However, the site's focus is matchmaking, not swinger dating. From our experience, most 'swinger' couples there are newbies looking for a first encounter with a single woman. A lot of the newbies are confused and unsure about what they want. Nonetheless, we met a few real swinger couples there.
Free site: fullofdesire.com. Probably the only swingers site that fits our requirements: It's completely free (no hidden charges, no money traps, no credit card info required), and it is restricted to swinger lifestyle couples and women only. Single males are not accepted, and we noticed that fake profiles are removed when members complain about them. The site is simple and easy to use. It is not overloaded with explicit stuff. We find that we can contact as many members as we want, while remaining safely discreet at the same time. The only shortcoming is that this free swingers site is new and has not accumulated a large membership base yet. However, it is growing quite fast. We've been finding our playmates there lately, more than on any other site. Feel free to ask us anything you want regarding the swinging lifestyle (write your question in the Leave your Comment field).

Project Run & Play's pattern of choice for March was this free knot dress from The Sewing Rabbit with a distinctly summery feel. Here in London on a damp, cold Tuesday morning Summer feels a long way off, but the daffodils and crocuses that are beginning to brighten my doorstep are a promising sign that at least Spring is here/on its way. With that in mind I decided to make my version of the pattern into a top so that it might see a bit of use sooner rather than later, worn over trousers or leggings. The original pattern offers the option of 5 knots, but as I prefer details a little more minimal than that, I decided to draw attention to just one knot on the back by removing all the others and using a plain white swiss dot cotton fabric.
I cut a size 3 so there would be room for growth, shortening the length of the skirt to a tunic length and drafting out the shoulder ties. The white looks great and showcases the back detail well, I just wonder how long it will be before I have to dye it a nondescript shade of brown to cover the stains it's bound to attract.
In the meantime however, S loves it* and as the design features a full skirt ubiquitous twirl shots are compulsory. *H also loves it so I may find myself making another one.
When summer comes I can imagine her wearing this style with the Liberty print bloomers I made her last year but until then I made a pair of tie waist detail trousers in a navy silk/linen mix.
The style is self-drafted and features deep pockets, a low (but not full MC Hammer) crotch, pleats and a tie/knot detail at the front. To make them easy enough for her to take on and off on her own the rest of the waistband is elasticated.
For a bit of colour I also made a knot tie headband, which is elasticated at the back for comfort/to help it stay on, in yellow floral print cotton.
With Spring springing but definitely not sprung enough for outside photos in sleeveless tops, I spotted another idea for fabric butterflies on The Sewing Rabbit blog that would bring a bit of cheer inside (and use up all the scraps from the outfit). Making fabric butterflies isn't really my idea of fun but I figured
I could get H to do all the hard work it would make a great first sewing machine project for H. Buoyed on by the prospect of getting her hands on my precious machine she was really keen and cut out all the shapes while I ironed on the interfacing. Then (with me breathing down her neck) she got the hang of forwards and backwards stitching, sewing the pieces together before I gathered them slightly for a more 3d effect.

Shah Rukh Khan speaks to masala.com in Abu Dhabi

Shah Rukh Khan is calm, smiling and ready with the words on the afternoon of My Name Is Khan's global premiere in Abu Dhabi. The interviews are running a couple of hours late, but that doesn't faze the Khan. He's being asked the same questions over and over again and that doesn't bore him either. In a one-on-one with masala.com, Shah Rukh talks about his hopes and fears and explains exactly what he means by being Indian.
Excerpts from the interview:
What are your hopes for 'My Name Is Khan', when it releases in India on Friday?
When you've worked for so long and hard on a film, we just hope that the film opens well, that the maximum number of people gets to see it. This is a dramatic love story that talks about goodness and honesty. I hope people will sit through the two and a half hours of it and come away satisfied and entertained.
I hope 'My Name Is Khan' is released smoothly in my city and that many people get to see it in the first days.
And your fears?
It is unfortunate that I cannot release the movie the way I want to in my own city. I feel sad. I want everyone to be able to go and see it in peace.
I have said, again and again, that if you have an issue with me, we can talk about it. This is not just my film. The livelihood of 300-400 people is dependent on it. Let it release well, let it run smoothly. I hope everyone concerned has the graciousness to let the movie release easily.
Everyone should be able to go and see the movie without fear.
I thank the government, the cops and everyone who has supported me. You have the right to have a different ideology, but you do not have the right to be aggressive about it.
You've said, 'an actor is never brave on a Thursday'. A day ahead of your release, do you feel any different?
It's only a Wednesday, so I'm still brave (laughs). Maybe tomorrow I will feel different. But truly, there is nothing else that I can say or do. May be one day I will look back upon this unfortunate incident and think 'What I did was wrong'. May be I will think, 'What I did was NOT wrong'. Anyway, there is no Pakistani player in the IPL, so that agenda is all over.
You've seen how, in the UAE, Indians and Pakistanis live and work happily together…
I have always been pro-relationship. Why would people want to beat each other? We need to come together, different countries, different cultures and build relationships. Even the most warring nations need to come together to talk.
How would you define being Indian?
Having freedom. Freedom to earn, to live, to breathe, to laugh, to cry, to talk. Freedom in every sense of the word. I am fortunate enough to belong to the generation who has seen some great leaders who are still in our politics. Economically, India is shining. But nothing will really happen if we're not free. I want my kids to grow up in a country that's free.

There everywhere, zucchini, it's still taking over my house!!!!!!!
Seriously, I don't even know what to do. So I have been trying to get creative, zucchini bread is great but I want new flavored too.
So here was an experiment and I have to say for the first try it turned out excellent! (Trust me, it doesn't often turn out just right the first time.)
Zucchini Cinnamon Raisin Bread:1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening
2 cups shredded zucchini
2 tsp cinnamon
1 egg
1 cup warm water
1 pkg active dry yeast
3 cups flour
Cream together sugar and shortening. Add shredded zucchini, cinnamon, and egg. Mix thoroughly.
Combine water and yeast. Add to mix.
Add flour.
Place in a greased loaf pan in oven at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes.
And there you have it. This bread is a little lighter than your usual zucchini bread, and has that great breakfast bread feel to it.
Just a little something new to do with your zucchini this year.
Happy baking,
Thanks so much for stopping by! If you liked Yuen Yarn, check out some of our older posts, Like us on Facebook, , visit our ETSY shop or visit our website www.yuenyarn.com.

So I will, I will I will start blogging again. And what better way to announce my return (to the 2 people who read this, including my mum) than a picture of my cat. Since cats are pretty much my main interest in life. Not really. But also not not really.
PS. Look at those ginger roots! Oh the shame. Outshined only by the yellow hairband. Lord.
I will be more interesting in future, pinky promise.

Mesothelioma research is being carried out at a number of locations across the United States and the world. No cure has been found for this deadly cancer, but the incremental advances in research are promising.
There is a certain urgency to mesothelioma research because the numbers of mesothelioma cases is increasing as the decades-long latency period is reached. Thousands of people die each year from this cancer, and research into the causes, treatment, and cure of it is important to us all.
Clinical Mesothelioma Treatment Trials
Studies conducted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, are integral to mesothelioma research. Clinical trials and basic research are proceeding at the NCI and several universities and medical centers in the U.S. and abroad.
If you think that you may benefit from participation in a clinical trial, view a list of mesothelioma treatment centers to learn more about patient eligibility and trial parameters.
Basic Mesothelioma Cancer Research
Similar to the research into other types of cancer, basic mesothelioma research takes place on many fronts, with scientists trying different tactics and strategies to understand the mechanism(s) of mesothelioma and to find ways to attack this cancer. Much of the basic research focuses on how asbestos affects the body on the cellular level. When it is determined how the body's cells are changed by asbestos, better and more effective treatments for mesothelioma may be developed.
Benefits of Mesothelioma Cancer Research
Past years of mesothelioma research have provided a number of new and more effective mesothelioma treatment options, including:
- Immunotherapy: The mesothelioma cancer cells are attacked by enhancing the patient's own immune system.
- Photodynamic Therapy: A specific frequency of light targets the mesothelioma cells and kills them by activating a photo-sensitizing drug.
- Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy: Radiation targets only the tumor, leaving the healthy cells and tissues intact.
Learn More about Mesothelioma Cancer Research
There are new ideas and treatments being tested, and if you would like to find out more about how you or your loved one with mesothelioma might benefit from this research, contact Mesothelioma Treatment Centers today. If you have trouble paying for treatments, it's time to talk to an attorney: A lawyer can talk to you about your legal rights and discuss how you can get the money for the therapies you need now.

Ogopoleng Mushi
Bokang started showing artistic talent at the age of three – that's when his father started noticing it.
Name: Bokang Galane
Age: 6 years.
Date of birth: 17 June 2011
Career: Actor and Model
Ethnicity: Motswana
Instagram handle: Bokang_model
Allergies: His eyes darken and swell when he eats cold stuff
Being a minor, we got permission from both his parents to profile this lovely little man who provides smiles and inspiration to all those around him.
Having started his career at the age of three, Bokang Galane has been doing really well on screen for almost three years now. He is a brilliant young model and actor, a very well-behaved child who does fantastically at school and although always being on TV, he is fairly introverted.
Quick snapshot:
Favourite color: Black, Yellow and White.
Favourite food: Pap. "He does have oats in the morning but you can see that he is not totally happy, he likes his pap," says Vincent Mavala Bokang's father.
Favourite beverage: Juice.
Bokang started showing artistic talent at the age of three – that's when his father started noticing it. "He would always remember all the things playing on TV, especially adverts. That was when I decided to join him to an agency", stated Bokang's father.
Bokang has since then been a model for clothing stores such as Edgars and Jet Stores. He has also made a couple of appearances on South African television with adverts ranging from McDonald's, Gaviston to First National Bank and DSTV. Here's the latest one on your TV screens (FNB Nav):
You might ask yourself how such a young TV sensation manages to be a child performer and a normal kid as well. Allow me to let you in on a few things that keep him well grounded:
His reply when you tell him you have seen him on TV: "Thank you."
Academic performance: Bokang was awarded an award for the top achiever of his preschool in 2016. He is currently doing very well in Grade R.
"I have taught him to just say thank you all the time when people tell him about his appearances on TV, he is a really good boy," says proud dad Vincent.
Bokang stays with his mother on a full-time basis but he does not stay far from his father's house. He therefore gets to go to his dad whenever he wants to. He is an animal lover and adores his dog, Snoopy.
Things Bokang Galane does not like:
• Hats and Caps.
• Playing with other kids. "He is a really shy boy. He does play with other kids, but not for long, he comes back after a few minutes to tell me he is tired," smiles his father.
Favourite things to watch on TV:
• Cartoons.
• Soccer, especially Mamelodi Sundowns.
• Movies.
Bokang has a very good relationship with his father. "What is scary is that I see myself when I look at him," says his dad Vincent.
Bokang Galane has now joined a music school, learning to play drums. He attends every Saturday for about six hours. There might be a whole lot more to come from this child prodigy, so keep an eye out for what happens on your television!

This is how I know...
He delivered these to my work, along with my favorite food Pineapple Chicken Curry from Spicy Thai (which I've been craving of late).
What an absolutely amazing man I have in my life to take care of me.
He totally had me duped too. I thought he was out in St. Louis driving back hunting gear for general elk season. I was completely not looking forward to spending this weekend alone. I was actually kind of sulking that I got left alone while he went on an adventure.
But then he wasn't out of the state, he was at my work, with flowers and food. He certainly knows how to make me happy very very quickly. Life is good, this weekend is going to be amazing, and I get to spend some quality time with my hubby.
I seriously am. the. luckiest. girl. alive.

Molly and I accomplished SO much this weekend! We finished 7 Thanksgiving wreaths, she made some Christmas banners on her own, we made 2 make-n-takes, cut tons of paper with die cuts, and had a great time. Even I went to bed at 2am and got up at 7am this morning, I am not tired. I feel refreshed, accomplished, and ready to take on the new week!
I used 17 of my weeklies yesterday, but I am glad I did. It was nice to have a few chips and cookies, especially since I don't eat them very often. I took my tracker when we went scrapbooking and left it out the whole day...everytime something went in my mouth I wrote it down.
Had a lazy day at home with the hubby and kids. It rained all day so it was nice to be inside. I worked on school, did laundry (and actually finished it), watched a few movies, and the kids played games and watched TV. Even though I got a lot done, I didn't feel stress or pressure to do anything. Yesterday was kind of an eaty day and I did burn through the rest of my weeklies, but that was ok. This week I am going to attempt to use my dailies as suggested in the "Getting Started Guide". So far I am good...6pp for breakfast & 3pp for snack...lunch should be 8pp, another snack for 4pp, and a 12pp dinner...we'll see how it goes...

There are days when my hair just needs a break. Sometimes it's a form of protective styling and sometimes it's just a bad hair day, but wraps can be the perfect solution to both of those issues.
Style 1: Turban Twist
This style is perfect for days when you still want to show off your natural hair but not put a lot of work in.
|Pull your scarf tightly against the back of your head.
|Tie it in the front
|Pull the back fabric up and tuck it in under your tied section
|Twist the two tied ends together
|Tuck your twist into the back of your turban off to the side
|...and you have a perfect turban twist for the lazy or fashion forward days ;)
Style 2: Wrapped Crown
This style is perfect for days when you need your hair to be completely protected. It is also good for covering up a long term deep condition ;)
|Pull the scarf tightly to the back
|Twist the back tail tightly
|Wrap the tail around the crown of your head and tuck to secure
|Perfect protective style!

Can Kobe, LeBron and Carmelo Work? by Jourdyn Thompson
To many people want to say that these three superstars can not play together, before it's even said that they will join Kobe in a Lakers uniform this upcoming season. If Carmelo and LeBron both agree to play for about 16-17 million per year for 4 years this will happen. Both players want the max and it will feel like they got the max with the Lakers seeing how much money the Lakers earn each year, plus on top of the endorsements each player already has they will be set. Think about this, Melo and LBJ play with Kobe for two years and then Kobe passes the torch. Now with Kobe off the books they have money to bring in another big player and then that three peat LBJ was looking for will finally happen. If Melo and LBJ takes their talents to L.A. watch out because Kobe will tie Micheal Jordan and then the following season what other way to send Kobe out then by helping him pass MJ with his 7th NBA title? How does that sound?
