I am spotting a trend in my country. Perhaps it is not just here, but this is where I notice it. It is the trend of expecting something for nothing. Let me explain. In this past week our national soccer coach was fired because the team has raked in a series of poor results. He was the 16th coach in 17 years. We expect the team to win, yet our players are notorious for not arriving at practices, there is constant infighting among those in top structures etc etc. So, the coach gets fired...again. Suppose people start thinking that there isn't a coach problem, but that there is an administration problem, an accountability problem.
Our mayor, Gwen Ramakgopa will probably be fired in the next day or two. She has been accused of mismanaging funds and is well known for her spending sprees. Yet, a quarter of Pretoria's residence do not have access to basic services such as water, electricity and sanitation services. I wonder where those in power thought these things would come from. Heaven?
For 15 years, Eskom, the South African electricity provider had not maintained or upgraded its facilities. Now there is a crisis as demand is outgunning supply. The immediate answer: a 43% hike in tariffs, with the same increase projected for at least the next three years. Where was the electricity going to come from? Thunderbolts? Yet, Eskom's executives have given themselves healthy bonuses over this period. Expecting something for nothing.
Next, there will be the water-crisis. It is not a crisis yet, because the rich have not been affected. But it is coming and sooner than we think.
Every time someone raises these issues, the standard response from those in political power is "Crisis, what crisis?". This cliche has become the running joke among South Africans. But then again, the roof doesn't leak if it doesn't rain.

Pauline Hanson would give us pause for thought. However I do think she played a helpful part in helping the Australian electorate to understand certain of its vulnerabilities
The major parties, of course, hate Independents because it means power brokers cannot do what they best...broker power...they have to appease minor interests.
The great disadvantage with this is that everyone is in some sense a 'minor interest', and it is virtually impossible to get sectional interests attended to if all you have is party government. Even within a major party, those who are not up front would seem to have limited influence.
So I was quite pleased to see four or more Independents in the House of Representatives, and I think (if only for a short time) we are seeing some important minor interests being attended to.
Of particular interest this week is Andrew Wilkie, independent MP for Denison. A former army officer, whistle-blower and carpet salesman!
Wilkie has allegedly had death threats and been threatened with blackmail this week. Part of this appears to be about his opposition to unfettered gambling...which is one of his minor interests....(on his website there is a whirring dollar-meter which tells you how much has been lost in Tasmania while you have been on the site)
We have all no doubt wondered what the blackmail was all about, and it comes out that part of it is about being involved in bullying whilst at the military Training College, Duntroon. He has admitted in the past that when he was there and involved in 'bastardisation' or what in American society is sometimes called 'hazing'. Bullying or intimidation of junior students by older ones. A peculiar male pastime it would seem. (Anyone who went to one of Adelaide University's all male colleges, as I did from the 50s to the 80s, would have some idea about this (here)...at the time you put up with it. You look back now and think it was infantile.)
Wilkie it alleges was involved in some intimidation around the ridiculous celebration of the anniversary of the rise to power of Adolf Hitler. No doubt stupid...but a very bad look...and one the cartoonistas will love....
There may be more to come, who knows.
What we must not overlook is that even though the young Wilkie may have been a bully, and even indiscreet, he nevertheless rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel...so someone must have thought he was competent..even though he had (at times) been a foolish young man.
But then haven't we all?
I don't think he will buckle...but perhaps we should write to him and tell him that it's OK to have been young and foolish. And even better to be old and principled.

Two weekends ago was a great weekend in the lives of some of our Bethabra ladies. Last year, my friend, Olivia, mentioned to me that she would really like for us to do a ladies' retreat. The retreat the ladies of Bethabra had been doing for years wasn't going to work out anymore, and it was either time to do something new or time to not do a women's retreat any more. I felt in the next couple of months that the Father was just laying it on my heart to plan a women's retreat for us. I asked my friend and one of my favorite people, Melissa Haas, if she could lead our retreat. Once she said yes, I just knew this was God's best for our ladies and we needed to go forward. At first, I felt disappointed that the same ladies who went on the usual retreat for many years did not sign up to go on this new kind of retreat. I felt discouraged and really began to take it personally. However, I just kept moving on and planning and trusting God. We ended up taking 12 ladies on the retreat. It was such an incredible time. Melissa encouraged me that Jesus started with 12. She also encouraged me that God would put those who were ready to hear at the retreat. She was right. It was an incredible time. While I would love to have taken a bigger group, and I pray we will grow in the next years, because we were a small group, Melissa was able to do great work with each of us, personally, that probably wouldn't have been able to happen if we had been a larger group. Thank goodness for the help of Carolyn, Kelli, and Jeanette.
Look at Kelli and Jeanette's cute door creation to let each lady know where their room was:
More of their handiwork. I believe Kelli actually cut these letters out with a STENCIL. Just freehand - are you kidding me????
A gorgeous picture of the lake - our retreat was in Toccoa at the Georgia Baptist Conference Center.
Sunday morning before we took communion together. We made special boxes to illustrate our bodies and souls that are also on the table.
Our excursion on Saturday afternoon to Toccoa Falls :) Me, Kelli, Olivia, and Jeanette.
A few things Melissa talked about that really hit home with me:
- Woman is the crown of God's creation.
- She was created to be indispensable to Adam
- We are NEVER , ever alone. The Father feels my feelings.
- The Holy Place is my soul. the essence of sin is looking away from God inside of me. The promise of God is His presence, NOT His blessing. I may have pain, but He is with me in the pain. He fills me with what I need to walk through the pain.
- We discussed reasons we might be "stuck" in our relationship with Father. Something might not be healed in our past, He may be challenging us to service Him in a new way, it may be a "nursery" time, or it could be sin in our lives. I was so fascinated with her illustration of God leaving us in the nursery.
Melissa Haas is an incredible gifted counselor and speaker. I love her very much, and I am so grateful for her help in my life 5 years ago when everything fell apart.
The main thing for me through the weekend was just feeling like God was saying to me, "Remember 5 years ago when it felt like I wasn't there, and then I came? I came through for you. I am here for you now just like I was for you then. I am big enough to handle what you have today just like I was big enough to handle it 5 years ago. I know you are pouring your life out in service and your heart so wants to see a great work happen. Hang in. Just love these ladies. Love them. Love them with all your heart and love me. Just wait. Keep waiting and keep loving them."
Oooh....it was powerful for me. I felt so thankful to be where we are - so thankful to be a pastor's wife. I felt a stronger call for that than ever before while we were there at the retreat. God just confirmed for me in a huge way that we are right where we are supposed to be - and even in the midst of stress and some upset people, and lots and lots of work, and sometimes seemingly little results...HE is big enough to handle it. He loves me, and I am to love them like He loves me, and that's all that matters.

There is a lot of news to read, so make it a bit easier on yourself and check out these links that I found interesting.
- BBC– According to research published in the journal Nature, a vaccine has cleared Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) from the bodies of monkeys. SIV is the equivalent of HIV in humans.
The vaccine was effective on nine of 16 monkeys. Scientist are looking for a similar approach for humans and hope to have a vaccine in the next two years. Scientists are also looking into why only nine of 16 vaccines were effective.
- A man will not serve a day in jail of "raping the gay away." Brent Girouex, 31, a youth pastor in Iowa, was arrested on 60 counts of suspicion of sexual exploitation for having sex with teenage boys to "help them with homosexual urges." He received a 17-year prison sentence. The sentence will be suspended provided he attends sex offender treatment while on probation.
Girouex confessed to police that he "had sexual relations with four young men starting in 2007 to help them gain 'sexual purity'," reports UPI.
He claims it was hit duty "to help [them] with homosexual urges by praying while he had sexual contact with [them].
- Brave Miss World, a documentary about Linor Abargil, Israeli beauty queen who was raped before she won the Miss World pageant, is being released and showing at multiple film festivals.
- Hanna Rosin declares patriarchy dead. This obviously shocked everyone who sees sexism every day.
The author of the article says:
"I'm an immigrant and a woman of color who has heard too many weatlthy, white, middle-class woman tell other women how o think about and respond to their place in society."
She then explains that we see patriarchy and sexism every day through "widespread abortion restrictions, a gender wage gap, pervasive slut-shaming, and the likes of Miley Cyrus using black women as props. "
Needless to say, anyone who is living in the real world knows that patriarchy is not dead.
- The Guardian shockingly said that a teenager "let herself be gang raped" to get her Blackberry back. After readers had a reaction to this, the paper changed the phrasing of the sentence to "let herself be sexually assaulted." Because this is much better than the original.
From the edited version:
In one, a girl who does not reveal her identity, talks with heartbreaking candour about how she would do anything for her BlackBerry; when a gang of boys takes it from her she recounts how she allowed herself to be sexually assaulted in order to have it back.
An accompanying note:
The standfirst to this article was amended on 12 September 2013. It originally referred to a girl who "let herself be gang-raped" to get her BlackBerry back. This misrepresented the text of the piece, which says she allowed herself to be sexually assaulted.

What is the difference between linear and relative layout?
Linear layouts put every child, one after the other, in a line, either horizontally or vertically. With a relative layout you can give each child a LayoutParam that specifies exactly where is should go, relative to the parent or relative to other children.

to just let it go!
feeling a little un-inspired and much under the creative weather these past two weeks, i have decided to just plain old 'catch up' on my scrapbooking. no fancy stuff...just get the two years worth of pictures i have stored at Walgreen's into a book. quick journaling, dates, a few thoughts and feelings (i have an unbelievable memory), use up the stash and get on to the new stuff where i can really bust out the good stuff.
plus, my old pictures are just not very good. i've become a little more aware of photography lately. and by 'aware', i simply mean that i'm not only looking at the subject but also the surroundings. i truly have some super cute pictures of michael during his pre-K years (and perhaps i will do those pictures up right) but we lived in that yucky old place and it seems all the pics were ruined simply because of what's in the background!
up until jan 2007, my scrapbooks are pretty much michael's yearbooks...fancy, CM'd to hell or not...they are all his. i don't know that i'll be able to say that about owen. outlook is not good for a separate owen baby book. sorry child. michael never had his own either. i mean, the first year of his life is an installment of our family scrapbook (that is all we did that year!)
anyway, i'm sure that's some super exciting stuff. my first child (the furry one) has a very good appetite but is really nursing his right leg, much more than the one seemingly more injured. i think it may have to do with the drainage tube in there. we'll have that taken out for him on monday night. a little late, but they won't do it on Sunday. losers.
and did you hear? China is going to make their own weather! how exciting! they should do such a wonderful job at that!
mike is leaving me! for a subbuteo tournament! how can he do this? with all that's going on? no, really i'm very excited for him. i mean, i did leave him for almost a whole month to visit my family. he's very excited too...but maybe just a little more than i am (he wanted some special shoes so he can play better). huh? i wish i had a picture of him demonstrating his flicking moves with these new shoes on. what a goober! he's been working on his league's website all week long...i think it looks pretty nice. he made the logo and everything. don't ask me what's up with that picture of our first President dressed up as superman...strange.
later kids.
15 July 2007

We are in full holiday mode around here with getting
Christmas New Year's cards written, getting presents wrapped and mailed, finding last minute holiday goodies for C's teachers, etc. and I wanted to just point out a few of the easy things we are doing along the way to get as many points as possible for these holiday to-do's that so many of us share. I would also really love to hear some of the things you are doing as I am certain my brain is already full of tinsel and I probably am not thinking straight.
Last Minute Teacher/Mail Carrier/Office Gifts:
I abhor wasted gifts – you know the ones that ultimately just get tossed because they aren't useful or interesting for the intended recipient. A good way to avoid that with folks you don't know very well on a personal level like teachers, mail carriers, etc. is to just get them a small gift card. There are a million ways to get gift cards to save money and maximize miles, but if you are in a time crunch (like me), just cruise to a store where you will get a bonus from one of your rewards earning credit cards for the purchase. I bought a few packs of $10 Starbucks cards for C's teachers at Office Depot, so I earned 5x with my Ink Bold. I could have bought them at a grocery store, drug store, etc., and used a card that awarded bonus points there as well. By the way, when you add up front office staff, teachers, assistant teachers, after care teachers, music teachers, Spanish teachers, etc. it gets crazy in a hurry, so keep that in mind when making gift decisions – wowzers!
I also got some little poinsettias to put the cards in from a grocery store, so another chance to earn bonus points!
While picking up the Starbucks cards, go ahead and pick up some stamps for your holiday cards (if you are masochistic like me and still send them out). I know that grocery stores and office supply stores both also sell USPS stamps, so you can earn bonus points for your stamp purchases without subjecting yourself to additional torture by visiting the actual post office. I was even able to get the holiday themed ones from Office Depot, so they look cute and earn points.
Shipping Presents:
Hopefully you have already done this as last minute shipping costs can be insane, but if you haven't (or if it isn't crucial your presents arrive by 12/25), then you can still make sure you are earning points and/or saving money for your shipping needs. I personally just headed to FedEx Office and had them do all the work of packing and shipping some gifts. I really should have just ordered the gifts online and had them sent directly to their destinations, but that wasn't possible with all of the gifts so we did it the old-fashioned way. I was quoted $150 for Express Saver delivery for one particular large gift. I said I would rather buy a flying reindeer to deliver it than pay that, so went with ground shipping that is still likely to get the gift there in time as of the day I shipped, but it wasn't guaranteed. However, it was a ton cheaper, so I'll roll the dice. I used my Amex Business Gold Rewards card so that I earned 2x Membership Reward points for shipping, plus I saved 5% via the Amex Open program.
I have done some other shipping this year at office supply stores, so I have earned 5x on my Ink Bold by going that route. Again, more points and much less chaotic than going directly to the post office. Also be sure to look for coupons before you go and ship – just today I have received coupons for shipping from Office Depot and FedEx. Here is a link for $10 off a $20 FedEx Express shipment and 15% off USPS and UPS Priority Shipping at Office Depot. I'm sure there are other similar offers out there from other stores.
Christmas Cards:
If you are now leaning toward New Year's (or Easter) cards rather than actual Christmas cards that arrive before Christmas then remember that you can often order them online at sites (like Vistaprint) that are available via many online miles and points shopping portals.
Order Online for In-Store Pick-up:
For many retailers it is now too late to order online and guarantee delivery before Christmas, but you can still maximize the value of earning points by shopping through an online shopping portal like Ultimate Rewards, MileagePlus Shopping, etc and selecting in-store pick-up. I have done this at Best Buy, Sears, Lowes, Walmart, etc. I never had any problem with this strategy, but I will say that the link to pick-up the item at Walmart was a tad insane, so just weigh the pluses and minuses.
Okay, what am I forgetting? What other tips do you have to maximize some last minute holidays items so that they earn as many miles and points as possible? Oh, and if you find an extra elf who is done with his present making for the year, please send him to my house ASAP.

Daddy's Little Girl
Poetry and Music are very important in life. They help people say what they are trying to say to others. They can inspire people to be more confident in themselves. I personally like music better because I most of the time don't understand poetry and I can relate to music more than poetry. Music says a lot it can send a message, teach a lesson, and even entertain you with a story. Everyone can relate to music in their own way. I relate to music in all of those ways.
The type of music I enjoy is country music. I relate to the messages they send and the emotion behind the songs. There are a lot of songs that I really enjoy and love to sing along with even though my voice is the sound of an animal dying. A song though that I have always liked is "Daddy's Little Girl" By Tim McGraw. This song has a lot meaning to me. In the song it talks about a dad letting his little girl who is all grown up out into the world and even though she is all grown up he says she will always be his little girl. A line from the song says " Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again, go on and take on this whole world but to me you know you'll always be my little girl". To me this song is exactly what my dad thinks of me. I have always been his little girl being the youngest and the only daughter. We are close and I don't know what I would do without my dad. He is excited that I am engaged because he likes my fiancé but he just doesn't want to let me go. I believer that I will always be his little girl no matter what happens in my life or where I go.
Music is a great way to connect to people and bring them closer. Music can influence kids to have dreams and become something great. I really like music and without it I would be very bored. I think that music can be a great escape from the crazy world we live in.
Tim McGraw sings the song that I have really liked. It reminds me of my dad and me. I almost always cry when listening to it.

I agree with you music can really tell a story or it can even bring back a memory. Daddy's Little Girl is a great song, I love Tim McGraw he is a very great artist. All of his songs sound like they have so much meaning and emotion behind his songs.ReplyDelete
I also love this song. My mom loves Tim McGraw, so she would always play his music. I agree with you when you said " They can inspire people to be more confident in themselves". I believe that every individual should take pride in themselves and not have to worry about everyone else judging them.ReplyDelete
"I relate to the messages they send and the emotion behind the songs." That is exactly how I am! I love hearing the emotion in there voice I feel like I can relate to themReplyDelete

It was the best boost in the world to me! I can actually see my body shape changing..its like the last week I can notice things...like looking straight down and seeing my toes and not sucking in my gut to do it...LOL Having my fingertips touch when I put them around my wrist!! Its the little things that mean so much to me.
I have decided to treat myself to a gift for doing so well. I am going to buy my first Coach purse =) I think the main reason is it gives me an excuse to go back to OBX...I know there are tons of places to get them, but going to the beach is an extra plus for me...toodle for now!

The heads of the governments of the member countries of the Organization for Democracy and Economic Development - GUAM (Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Moldova) will meet in Kiev on March 27.
The business forum will be organized as part of a meeting of the heads of government of GUAM member countries. AZPROMO said Azerbaijani entrepreneurs are invited to attend the event.
Initially, it was planned to hold a meeting of the heads of government of GUAM countries on December 5 last year, however, due to the tight working schedule of the representatives of the parties, it was decided to postpone it to February 2017.
The initiative to hold a meeting of the heads of governments was made by Azerbaijan who chaired the organization in 2016.
At the 15th meeting of the working group on economy and trade of relevant departments of GUAM member states, held on November 17-18 last year in Kiev, draft documents were considered and agreed upon. They will be submitted to the heads of governments.
The GUAM format was created by four post-Soviet states in 1997 during the summit of heads of states of the EU in Strasbourg. The member states of the organization are Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Moldova. In 1999, Uzbekistan joined the format and four years later withdrew.
In 2006, Ukraine and Azerbaijan announced plans to further increase the GUAM member relations and established its headquarters in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev.
The GUAM plays an important role in ensuring regional security, as it contributes significantly to the development and strengthening of dialogue between the countries of the region.
Azerbaijan assumed the chairmanship in GUAM on January 1, 2016.

Although this life's journey is fleeting, I do not feel as though we are wasting time by being apart. We know love and we knew love. His will is the bridge toward love. And if we are unable to renew love, it does not erase our past love. We are not waiting on love and we are not longing for love. I believe deep in my heart that we are simply anticipating love. So, until we are able to physically give love and mutually receive love, we will continue to spiritually express love, through His Son.

Order of Operations
This is a crucial part of learning how to perform calculations and how to deal with life and all of its challenges. I'm starting to believe that the world and my fate is part of a large field calculation and that it is a good thing to step back and look at where things may go wrong and fix them. I'm also a big believer these days in object oriented living. Taking things down to their component parts and reusing and referencing them, saving time and redundancy. I wish the rest of the world felt the same way.

All of the tracking
That's my kind of #5aday - thanks @simplymeasured #liftsocial
A photo posted by Nazila (@nazilam) on
I started tracking my food again - it is not helping. I am still eating way too much sugar. I'm still not getting enough of the green stuff.
I'm still eating like a four year old with a somewhat sophisticated palate.
At the same time, I'm making reservations for Michelin starred restaurants for my December trip to Paris.
Go figure.

I could use do over of Monday with part of Tuesday to boot. I'm looking forward to the rest of the week.
I wish I had more to say, but my mind is filled with calculations, bar charts and thinking about what Thanksgiving will bring.

There is something to be said for flying from LA and going straight to the office. This followed by spending an hour in traffic to sit for another three hours in class and then to come home to stream a sitcom and eat mediocre soup dumplings.
Nothing changes on the return to Seattle except for the 40 lbs of fruit we hauled back. There are the same bills, bags to unpack and the same spreadsheet you were happy to close on Tuesday hasn't miraculously fixed itself. I sometimes wish this were not the case.
I am glad to be home for the next month to deal with all of this and more.
Happy Thursday.

Hump Day
A photo posted by Nazila (@nazilam) on
This year I have seen some spectacular things - Swaths of snowdrops in Lincolnshire, the back roads of Southeastern Tennessee, Monet's Giverny in full bloom, Great Dixter at a quiet time of year, the Columbia Gorge with its salmon heading home to spawn, the northern New Mexico landscape in the winter and fall and the view below the Golden Gate Bridge by boat. Today, I finally made it to Joshua Tree.
In one word, amazing.
We didn't hike or pull off the road to see every marker or scenic point, but the drive and views were spectacular at 35 miles an hour. The park is not too crowded this time of year and the weather was magnificently brisk, but manageable. It made me realize that there are so many things I have yet to experience. It has inspired me to start thinking and planning new travel itineraries.
All in all a pretty awesome hump day.

The Inland Empire

I find myself in the Redlands today. I am not down here for anything special. TH is giving a talk at a meeting and I tagged along to get some sunshine. Please note that the picture above was taken when I landed. Ontario was 2 degrees F warmer than Seattle this afternoon.
It seems weird not to be going to this specific meeting this year. I presented two years in a row, but I'm sitting it out this year and I'll tell you why.
I sometimes think we have meetings for the sake of having meetings.
I've been working at building programs and meetings for the last ten years. I strategized over time tables and room sizes and what topics will draw a good crowd. I spent a goodly three years working with an amazing group of program managers, scientists, industry folks to develop a great conference highlighting emerging technologies in weather and climate.
Here's the rub - What is the use of talking to the same people year after year? Are the same folks who lead the plenary session, sit on panels and are considered the big draws the right people to be up on the stage? I understand inspiring a crowd and hitting key points in policy or new directions, but sometimes I wonder if we should change the way we approach conferences.
--I've been involved in lightning talks - that is one way to change things up.
-- I've been on panels and that is another way to do things - but the mix of panelists and an engaged moderator are key.
--I've stood in front of a research poster and prayed that someone would talk to me at the same time prayed that no one would talk to me.
--I've wondered if anyone would come to my talk - the last one of the day on the last day of the conference usually placed in a session that has nothing to do with my topic.
--I've questioned if parallel tracks are effective.
I think about ways to get people to come back at the end of the day and try and wrap up what happened. As our attention spans get shorter and shorter and we spend more of our time disseminating information during the sessions via social channels, I wonder if we're really engaging in the conference. Sometimes I wish we could turn off the wireless (which we all begged and pleaded for in the past) in the conference rooms just to get people to pay attention to the speaker.
I know it sounds crazy, but I think it might be time that we rethink the conference/meeting framework and start thinking of new ways to engage with our peers.

Wishing and Plotting
There is something about the first Monday of the month that fills you with such excitement for the rest of the month, even if is the beginning of the Holiday rush.
Apes - go away, but come back for my lunch and biscuit walkabout #dailyernest
A photo posted by Nazila (@nazilam) on
The calendar is fairly empty, the new month beckons and I'm already whooped.
I looked out the windows at work and saw the dusk at 440 pm and by the time I left it was pitch black. I broke out my new long down jacket to walk the dog and I'm wearing slippers in the house. After our hot and relentless summer, you would think I would rejoice in this weather, but honestly - I can do without Winter this year. Let's skip it and go right to Spring.
My dream in life is to chase Spring around the world - go from zone to zone and let bring me hope and joy - new life and all the opportunities that come with sowing seeds, cleaning house and the lightness of April mornings and May dusks.
I was lucky enough to hit Spring in four different locations in 2015. I'm going for five in 2016.
I hope Tuesday goes better than Monday.

How dare October end so suddenly? I needed another week.
Happy November. It is time to get the content filled and some ideas down on the keyboard. I've missed writing and I'm not sure you have missed reading my rants.
I've been here, there and everywhere for the last six weeks. None of it too exciting but I was happy to be grounded for eight long days. It gave me a chance to figure out what the rest of the year should look like and be ready to accept what it is going to look like.
I've been to New Mexico, Nashville and South East Tennessee, California, Portland, Yakima!, Chicago and back and forth across the city.
It is also NaPoBloMo. I will post daily (even if it kills me) and hopefully some of you will follow along.
Day 1 is over.

Go outside before it is too late
Today's weather was a gift. I was indoors for most of it - but I did manage to look out the window where I was working in search of eagles. As the days grow shorter and then evenings slightly oppressive, I'll take any chance to be outside and bask in the not so warm, yet still bright sun.
I'm trying to come up with a list of things to do to make my 2015 Fall and 2016 Winter evenings feel less than jail time and more like yard time. I'm not a big lover of nesting and making stews and ragouts. I hate coming home from work and staying indoors unless the dog needs a walk. I'm going to make the effort to get out more. I have class once a week and god knows, I'll likely be gone one day a week traveling, but it is the other five nights I would like to fill. Watching TV is not an option, I try and limit my weekday watching to the gym.
What are your coping mechanisms for the onset of the long nights?

Why we can't have nice things
Espresso with a twist is definitely a nice thing and I have 78888 espresso cups that I could be using to make my own. Taken in January 2012 - New Orleans.
I'm not talking about the usual response to things going wrong or getting broken that seems to elicit this response from the sarcastic me. I'm trying to turn it around and think of it this way - "Why do we have nice things and why don't we use them" or better yet - "Is it possible to be gracious and accept a nice thing as a gift without getting all defensive and embarrassed and then dismissive because you can't just okay, thanks, bye."
Yup. That kind of nice thing.
I look around at the things I have left to shrivel and die in corners because they are too nice and I'm afraid that our lifestyle is too casual or I'm not pretty or special enough to carry something off. I let a beautiful silk nightdress sit for twenty years before I wore it. Today, I looked longingly at a soup tureen TH gave me a million years ago that sits in a cabinet neglected instead of serving a lovely soup to my friends and family because I'm afraid to use it because something may happen to it.
Who uses a soup tureen? I'm going to starting now.
Who wears beautiful silk to bed? Other than Rita Hayworth, I suppose I could/should.
Who should stop coveting and start using? All of us. Things other than some wines don't really get better with time. I'm not getting all Kon-Mari on you and tell you to release your stuff, but maybe we should all release some of the fear and self-doubt that makes often makes it hard for us to enjoy what we have.
If you see me walking around in a beautiful silk robe carrying around a soup tureen, just smile and nod.

The times they are a-changin. As I began to type, this sentence just popped into my head out of nowhere. I momentarily pause to remember who said this? Creases appearing on my forehead, but it doesn't help bring forth the answer. Yes, I'll probably Google it later, but for now it seems fitting when I'm poised to discuss the vegetarian movement. The definitions of being a veggie are changing, which for me is proving rather unsettling.
The future of food is modifying our landscape, but I hesitate to claim it's for the better. The same is true too of the vegetarian movement. Yes, we need to re-think our food, but I'm not sure I agree with the meat-free and fish-less strategy. Meat-shaped flavoured patties, chicken-style chunks, mock mince, and ready-made meals have taken over the veggie cook-chill cabinet. Be a veggie and still enjoy the taste/texture of meat. You won't even notice the difference. It tastes just like the real thing! These are some of the statements you might hear said. Has being veggie ultimately come down to consuming packaged, meat-free foods? These products have their place. Yes, they help to reduce animal suffering and global environmental issues, but I hate to think these now define vegetarianism. I'm not going to lie. I do consume meat-free products if I'm aware I haven't met my protein quota, but it's rare. A block of tofu usually my saviour. I confess I had an inward whoop of delight when I saw Quorn's fish-less fingers and cakes. I read the ad, fish without the fish-in! and followed this with a groan. Aren't Quorn just cashing in on the lately concerned pescetarian market? New veggies often take a gradual route from reducing meat, to eating fish, then turning to meat-free alternatives. I like to keep-up-to-date to offer advice, so may test out the range for research purposes.
Overall, I'm concerned a modern vegetarian's reliance on this meat-free and fish-less life of convenience could be unhealthy. As a collective group, I want us to actively promote a veg-full diet, and not switch to endorse emulated meat. The term "veggie" to me implies just that - plenty of veg, as well as beans and lentils. A plate of meat-free and two veg doesn't quite live up to this label. We're in a fine kettle of fish as they say. Another classification coming our way. Let's have the debate with the right to reply. All those in favour say aye.

There's Darkness in the Sunshine – Okay, so how does that work? I am hoping the image helps with the idea. Basically, we get caught up in the light, in the sunshine whenever it puts in an appearance, that we forget that there is a dark shadow hanging around just out of our attention. In the image, there is sunshine and warmth, plenty warm enough to go outside without the need for clothing. Yet, here I am, still inside, in the shadows.
I am back in a location I have spent the past four winters, the same artist's studio just three short blocks from the Caribbean Sea on the Mayan Riviera; just a kilometre away from a naturist friendly beach by the Desires Pearl Resort. Ten days into this fifth year, it all seems to be changing on me. Yet, little has really changed. I am left to accept the fact that I am the one changing. But of course, that is only part of the story.
What has basically changed is the feeling of permission that I get from myself and my significant other. What lays behind this shifting of permissions is perhaps simply the fact that we are both getting older. I don't want to disturb her, and she doesn't want to disturb the world around us. We are both feeling vulnerable in our own unique ways. The slightest sound that might indicate that another person just might somehow look in and see me nude, has my wife on edge. Her on edge has me rush to cover up so that she can have a better sense of safety. Though our landlady has officially accepted my nudity and given her permission a number of times over the past years, the assumption that she has only done so under the duress of having to find someone else to live here. I hear about how our landlady is extremely uncomfortable with my nudity whenever she stumbles upon it on rare occasions. As a result, this safe container that is our private part of the property has ceased to be safe for either of us.
Adding to the dilemma is that the landlady wants to open a business in the front part of her house and use the studio as part of her own living quarters next year. We've been given notice that the place won't be on the market next winter for us to rent. The business has already begun to operate following the landlady's departure from her former place of employment. So, we have begun looking at alternatives for next winter and soon found two very good choices, two very different choices. I found one that we had both looked at for the past two years, a place we were familiar with as friends had stayed on the property. She found a different property. One has privacy spaces outdoors, the other doesn't. As we debate the pros and cons of both places it appears that the higher cost for her choice doesn't seem to matter as it is the "best" choice.
So why do I concede so quickly? The truth is that if she is uncomfortable, on edge, worried or any other descriptor that holds a negative weight, the chances of enjoying winters in Mexico becomes quickly reduced to a very low number. Choices. Choices have consequences. Do I settle for a choice that leaves me in the shadows, on the fringes of depression, or do I choose to lose even more?

Lolita Blog Carnival: Three Prints I Would Like to See
My first post for the Lolita Blog Carnival is 3 prints I would love to see. Now personally, I'm not a big print person. There's the occasional print that I absolutely adore, but I've never been one to study the Angelic Pretty print timelines or anything like that. Let me know what you think of my ideas, and tell me what prints you'd love to see in the comments! Enjoy.
1. Etching-Style Fantastical Animals
I don't understand why this hasn't been done! It could include all sorts of olden creatures of fantasy, not just dragons. Mermaids, hippogryffs, fairies, unicorns… A border-print with all of them would be so fabulous. They could even be embroidered.
2. H. R. Giger
For those of you who are not familiar with him, Giger is a Swiss surrealist artist most famous for his work designing the monsters in the Alien franchise. His work is very dark, elegant, mechanical, and often erotic. I've never seen a truly horror-themed gothic print, and this would take the cake. A lot of his work is not really what I would consider lolita-appropriate, but there are definitely elements that recall true gothic elegance.
3. Cabinet of Curiosities
A Renaissance/Victorian phenomenon, Cabinets of Curiosities were a prolific household item, and often considered a necessity for a true worldly gentleman. They contained archaeological artifacts, taxidermy animals and insects, geological specimens, and fantastical art. They were not simply limited to cabinets; there are several records of whole rooms dedicated to these collections.
(On a quick side-note, Halloween is coming up! If you're like me and not a fan of the increasingly skimpy female costumes, have a look at Take Back Halloween, its a great inspiration site!)
(I will add other Carnival Posts as they go live!)
A Lace Jail
A Life In Disguise
Candy Coated Life
Commercially Alternative
Darkly Darling
DixMacabre Sewing Chronicle
Fashion Fairytales and Sewing Secrets
Good Morning Lovely
La Petite Princess

Lemon Tree
Miss Lumpy
Parfait Doll

These are all beautiful ideas! The fantastic creatures would make amazing prints, a cabinet of curiosities would be so cool and fun to hunt for neat stuff in the print, and I'm a huge Geiger fan, so something like that would be very impressive to see!

Is the media biased against Republicans? Emphatically yes! In the past two days we've seen two perfect examples of this.
First, John Sununu accuses Soledad O'Brien of being in the tank for Obama and simply using his talking points as matters of fact (Sorry, can't get video to embed here. Just follow the link). Notice in the video that Sununu accuses O'Briend of simply passing on material repeated at liberal blogs.
In fact, Soldedad O'Brien is reading from liberal blogs. How do we know this? Ali A. Akbar has this image of O'Brien reading from Democratic talking points culled from the aptly named left leaning blog "Talking Points Memo". (H/T: Gabriel Malor)
Then Newt Gingrich spanks Piers Morgan on Economics 101 and the Romney/Ryan tax plan (Sorry, embed problem. Follow the link for the video). That's going to leave a mark!
Apparently at CNN doing "research" means reading left-leaning blogs.

9 girls + 1 chocolate fountain + 8 delicious dippers = A GREAT NIGHT.
Matthew left the apartment so that I could have all the Palmer (side) girls over for a fun night of desserts! I was so excited to use all my new platters and fun party type dishes that I got from the wedding! I think a table cloth would have made it that much better-- mental note for my next get together :) I love to host! It's so fun to have people come and enjoy your space with you! And even better that all these girls are my new family :)
The whole group (Stacy came a little later!)
So our apartment is officially broken in! So bring on the parties and get togethers! Maybe an Auburn get together in the near future... where we may enjoy the food and company more than the game! War Eagle, hey!

This dog may LOOK innocent, but she's plotting her next move as you look at her.
We feed Amber on the back porch after she goes out and takes care of business each morning. Today I went to let her in. As I opened the door, she was jumping DOWN from the porch table!
My husband had pulled out the one chair we have down, sitting in it to rub a towel over her, since it was raining heavily this morning. She apparently first chewed part of the mesh of the chair off (GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!) and then jumped up onto the table to try to get at the other stacked chairs, water jug, and umbrella in the corner.
I reminded my husband that he wasn't supposed to leave the chair away from the table and that it was now partially destroyed. Sweet Amber has reached new highs on destruction and being able to get places she couldn't get to before.
We're supposed to be smarter than our pets, aren't we?

Another year gone and another year has just begun! 2010 was a great year! I traveled all over Ohio to various festivals as the 2009 Olde Canal Days Queen, passed on my title, met my Grandma Roni, traveled to Oklahoma, went to college, started competing in Miss Amercica Locals, and have made so many new friends who have truly blessed my life.
My three goals for my first semester at college were 1)Lose five pounds, 2)join a sorority, and 3) make the Dean's List. I am proud to say I accomplished all three of those goals!
People usually make one or two new year's resolutions, but as you all know me, I'm quite the overachiever. Haha. For the past few years, I've made lists of fun and crazy things to do during that year. In 2009, it was the 365 Things To Do and in 2010 I lowered it to 100 Things To Do. So this year, I am yet again lowering the number.
I now present you with the 10 Things To Do In 2011!
1. Compete at Miss Ohio 2011 OR Win a local title to compete at Miss Ohio 2012. (Scholarship, Fun)

We give thanks for places of nature's truth and freedom,
of joy, inspiration, and renewal,
places where all creatures may find acceptance and belonging.
Let us search for these places in the world,
in ourselves, and in others.
Let us restore them. Let us strengthen and protect them,
and let us create them.
May we mend this outer world
according to the truth of our inner life
and may our souls be shaped
and nourished by nature's eternal wisdom.

some are more confident with really big boobs,
but for me, I feel sexy with my new red shoes.
I know, I have quite chubby legs,
but my mommy says I am the sexiest baby girl that she's ever had.
Yes, I am the 9 months old "new walker" baby in style
and sometimes still fall down on the floor tiles :-).

Next, the sparkly Miu Miu's....perfect for a night of disco on the town. Third, the Belle by Sigerson Morrison hippie sandals are ideal for a day of lounging in the park on a summer day. And last, I'm loving the perfectly purple Zannotti flats for every day! I Heart Shoes!

The 777-9X is going to be played in suite and the Max cards as well. These are something Airbus can't match as in the game of Hearts, as Boeing "Shoots The Moon". Smart hearts players players shoot the moon when they have an unstoppable hand after the first few cards are played. The cards are beginning to fall after its-up-from- the-boot strap 787 play. I know them as the first couple cards out of the hand whether its in Texas Hold'em or Hearts. The 787 made 'em (Airbus) think, blink and dink. The Airbus hand is in trouble.
Here's what shooting the moon by Boeing looks like from the Airbus perspective.
"Seeking Alpha" Points out what Its like to "Fly me To The Moon" when it comes to Boeing.
"Last week, Airbus reported that as of May 2014 (the first 5 months of the year), they took in net orders for 203 new aircrafts, while Boeing received nearly double the amount of orders with 394 new aircraft request. Nearly all of the orders Airbus received were for the single-aisle, narrow-body jets (namely the A320 and the A321 family, as in the diagram from Airbus' site pictured below) which have a far lower profit-margin than the jumbo jets. Airbus noted 196 deliveries for single-aisle planes, while Boeing only 193. For both companies, single-aisle jets are the cheapest to produce and sell. To make matters worse, Airbus also received about 306 order cancellations to date – that means that nearly one in three orders for Airbus aircraft gets cancelled. So far, Boeing has managed to have just 52 order cancellations out of the 448 orders that they received in 2014"
page 1 / 2
Airbus had 306 cancellations since January 2014! Boeing only had 52. Call those 52 cancellations, a typical slough-off in any year. However, the 306 number of cancellation is just brutal for Airbus with only keeping 203 orders at the party. The crowd just vacated the party when the lemonade came out as the main treat during Airbus' order year. They will gain more orders before the end of the year, but this cold shower of cancellations as reported, made its sales campaign go limp just at the wrong time.
Boeing had 448 gross orders during this same period. Airbus is losing the game at this time. The big why, is asked at closed board meetings. The newly appointed guy to speak-up, at the meeting, announces he wants to spend more time with his family before explaining why this is so. "Uh, hmmm", The A380 has hit order book bottom like the 747, The A350 clone war is an "Okay Airplane" against the 787. The 787 is experiencing good luck with its extremely advance design from nose to tail. After all the have the 787 in the air flying today. People really seem to like it as do its airline customers. Now for the Neo, I think you are really going to like this part of the presentation. The Neo and A320 orders lead the way for this years order book. Its a really big winner. We have sold a net of 203 single aisles so far. That's 5 months of production during the first 5 months of orders. We are keeping in the game with NEO's"
"I see a hand at the head of the Table, yes sir, "
"What has Boeing done the first five months?
"Ahhh yes Sir, next question, time is tight, for my answers."
Further more I want you to focus on screen slide exhibit 1D. Entitled Profit Margins By Model Type.
Questions?, "yes you at the head of the table, go ahead with you Questions."
Table Chief, "What about our big profit items such as the A380 that hasn't hit break-even yet, and the A330 our standard bearer, why aren't they listed on this chart for the month?"
Presenter replies, "Yes Sir, may I draw your attention to the 2013 chart on this matter, and we don't have the number available yet at this time of year for big ticket items. We will update those profit centers at the end of the year. Did I mention I need to spend more time with my family, as this job is hurting my family life. I really love this job. What are true profit centers anyways? I will get back to you, as numbers are my one priority. Did you hear the one about the 787 that flew over nine thousand miles with a full plane of people and its booked motel for the passengers after landing was over-book?" See, Boeing has problems too!
The murmur in the room is a sustained, "Whaaaat"?
Next boardroom question is offered, as panic starts to set in at the meeting.
"Can we make pigs fly?"
Followed by "The 60 Second Manger guy, sitting in the corner muttering comments;
"Boeing took on 394 orders double what we did since the first of the year. Boeing production is beating us at our best game, and is getting its units into the hands of customers. It seems to be working for them, Ideas, ?.... Meeting adjourned.!"

Board meeting press release:
Airbus has announced that its on track in the A350 development, The World's

Other Names: DIC, DTIC-Dome®, imidazole carboxamide
About This Drug
Dacarbazine is used to treat cancer. This drug is given in the vein (IV).
Possible Side Effects (More Common)
- Bone marrow depression. This is a decrease in the number of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. This may raise your risk of infection, make you tired and weak (fatigue), and raise your risk of bleeding.
- Nausea and throwing up (vomiting). These symptoms may happen within a few hours after your treatment and may last up to one to two days. Medicines are available to stop or lessen these side effects.
- Hair loss: You may notice hair getting thin. Some patients lose their hair. Your hair often grows back when treatment is done.
- Skin and tissue irritation may involve redness, pain, warmth, or swelling at the IV site. This happens if the drug leaks out of the vein and into nearby tissue.
Possible Side Effects (Less Common)
- Sensitivity to light (photosensitivity). Photosensitivity means that you may become more sensitive to the light from the sun, sun lamps, and tanning beds. Your eyes may water more, mostly in bright light.
- Decreased appetite (decreased hunger)
- Flu-like symptoms for a few days after getting this drug. These symptoms may include fever, headache, muscle and joint aches, and fatigue.
- Changes in your liver function. Your doctor will check your liver function as needed.
- Effects on the nerves are called peripheral neuropathy. You may feel numbness, tingling, or pain in your hands and feet. It may be hard for you to button your clothes, open jars, or walk as usual. The effect on the nerves may get worse with more doses of the drug. These effects get better in some people after the drug is stopped but it does not get better in all people.
Allergic Reactions
Serious allergic reactions including anaphylaxis are rare. While you are getting this drug in your vein (IV), tell your nurse right away if you have any of these symptoms of an allergic reaction:
- Trouble catching your breath
- Feeling like your tongue or throat are swelling
- Feeling your heart beat quickly or in a not normal way (palpitations)
- Feeling dizzy or lightheaded

Treating Side Effects
- Mouth care is very important. Your mouth care should consist of routine, gentle cleaning of your teeth or dentures and rinsing your mouth with a mixture of 1/2 teaspoon of salt in 8 ounces of water or ½ teaspoon of baking soda in 8 ounces of water. This should be done at least after each meal and at bedtime.
- If you have mouth sores, avoid mouthwash that has alcohol. Also avoid alcohol and smoking because they can bother your mouth and throat.
- Drink 6-8 cups of fluids each day unless your doctor has told you to limit your fluid intake due to some other health problem. A cup is 8 ounces of fluid. If you throw up or have loose bowel movements you should drink more fluids so that you do not become dehydrated (lack water in the body due to losing too much fluid).
- If you have numbness and tingling in your hands and feet, be careful when cooking, walking, and handling sharp objects and hot liquids.
- While getting this drug in your vein please tell your nurse right away if you have pain, redness, or swelling at the site of the IV infusion.
- Talk with your nurse about getting a wig before you lose your hair. Also, call the American Cancer Society at 800-ACS-2345 to find out information about the "Look Good...Feel Better" program close to where you live. It is a free program where women getting chemotherapy can learn about wigs, turbans and scarves as well as makeup techniques and skin and nail care.
- Wear dark sunglasses and use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher when you are outdoors even for a short time. Cover up when you are out in the sun. Wear wide-brimmed hats, long-sleeved shirts, and pants. Keep your neck, chest, and back covered.
- Avoid sun lamps, tanning booths, and tanning beds.
Food and Drug Interactions
There are no known interactions of Dacarbazine with food. This drug may interact with other medicines. Tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the medicines and dietary supplements (vitamins, minerals, herbs and others) that you are taking at this time. The safety and use of dietary supplements and alternative diets are often not known. Using these might affect your cancer or interfere with your treatment. Until more is known, you should not use dietary supplements or alternative diets without your cancer doctor's help.

Hay House
|Source: www.georgiatrust.org
One of Georgia's most distinguished structures, the Johnston-Felton-Hay House in Macon was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1974. It was built from 1855 to 1859 in the Italian Renaissance Revival style, a marked contrast to the more restrained Greek Revival architecture of the antebellum period.
(Source: www.georgiatrust.org)
Woodruff House
|Source: http://www.50plusdc.com/html/body_macon.html
Adjacent to the School of Law is a Greek Revival mansion built in 1836 for a railroad financier and banker. It was designed and built by Elam Alexander, a local building contractor, architect, business man and philanthropist. The house was once owned by Colonel Joseph Bond, one of the South's wealthiest cotton planters. In 1887 a 16th birthday ball was held in the house for Winnie Davis, daughter of former Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Originally known as Overlook Mansion, it was acquired by Mercer University in 1978 and renamed Woodruff House. The University uses the house for banquets, receptions and alumni events. It is open to the public only during the Cherry Blossom Festival in March, the run up to Christmas and for special events.

It includes all of the bells and whistles! We work with you from start to finish, to turn your dreams for the picture perfect wedding day into a reality.

The best way to know whether, or not, an accounting major…and accounting career focus…is the right answer for you is to first get to know 'who you are.' Seems like a logical thought, but you would be surprised at the number of people who go through much of their lives without a true understanding of their real interests, strengths, values, and areas of deficiency. They many times fail to look to the right role models, and their choices in academics and jobs are not in line with what truly motivates them…what makes them get out of bed in the morning with a sense of expectation for achievement, and gratitude for the opportunities that await them. There is little excitement or peaks of interest in their lives. They just go about life, one day at a time, trying to get to retirement. A boring existence, at best…a horrible way to spend 40+ years of life, at worst.
For additional information on an accounting career, I suggest you read, "Accounting Careers Continue to Multiply." And please share your thoughts, concerns, or questions with everyone.

Of course we're going to talk about the democrat in Maine running for senator for the state, but is getting flack from republicans, to the point where they made a website, stating she's unfit because she plays World of Warcraft.
You couldn't make this story up even if you tried.
It's no worse than having Obama and Romney duke it out with Pokemon. Oh wait…
Colleen Lachowicz is into WoW. An 85 Troll Rogue. Damn Rogues. They can be dicks.
Of course, some of us gamers are supporting Lachoqicz. As my friend Jamie put it; we're ok with Dick Cheney "accidently" shooting someone on a hunting trip. But video game violence? Oh no! That's too severe! We can't have that in this country.
The "violence" in Warcraft is so bare and minimal in comparison to what we see on the nightly news. This is animated, stylized, cartoonish violence. There isn't any blood! At least I don't remember there being blood, unless Blizzard went hardcore and we see purple goo spill out of Night Elves. I'm positive American football shows more bloody noses then you would see in WoW.
I get it though. More people within my age group with voting rights will side with her. Someone that gets where we're coming from…about time!
I think the republicans are looking at this issue all wrong (and probably nabbed Lachowicz a few more votes). They're centering on "Lachowicz wants violence and she says she's for peace. She's morally bad!" If the postings that were made online are from her, I would be more concerned about the fact that she's playing video games at work. Money from our debt ridden government is paying her salary to play video games. Now to me, that's a problem. While I support the fact that she is a gamer and isn't shy about it, I wouldn't admit to playing games on the job. I would want my elected officials to work when on the clock. Off hours, feel free to do whatever (within the legalities of what's acceptable).
Playing WoW beats the hookers and blow that the republicans seem interested in. Oh whoops. Out of line there, was I? Well the democrats aren't any better with their mistresses. It all equals out.
Extra cool point for the candidate. She shared a Colbert Report video on her Facebook page.

Shelby's continual tummy pains have led to tests being ordered. Today we found out that Friday morning she will have a colonoscopy and endoscopy at RMH. Tomorrow at 10 a.m. she will start her clean-out. Prayers, please, that it goes better than last time.
I just realized I really have not posted much about this "tummy pain." I've been doing little updates on Facebook. Back to the blogging for me. Bye, bye Facebook - at least for Lent, anyway. Shelby's tummy pain started in early November, was under control for a while and now back again. Since her abdominal CT back in November (her last admit) showed some thickening of her bowel walls...we'll see what that means.

President Raslowsky Meets President Clinton
Early this week, the President of Xavier High School in New York City- Jack Raslowsky met briefly with President Bill Clinton. Mr. Clinton and Mr. Raslowsky discussed mutual acquaintances, the mission and history of the school and opportunities for discussions in the future. Some readers of this blog may recall that President Raslowsky served as the Superintendent of Schools in Hoboken New Jersey and was the former Principal of St. Peter's Prep in Jersey City. Both President Clinton and Mr. Raslowsky are Ivy League graduates and were educated by the Jesuits. Not surprisingly, each share a commitment and dedication to education.

We've got somewhere between 12 to 20 million illegal immigrants - wait a minute we're not allowed to call them that anymore - er ... undocumented aliens . . . no that's not right either . . . whatever this Orwellian Regime is folding the truth to label them this week . . . S.L.
In keeping with the ongoing soap opera that American politics has become, now it it time for Amnesty to enter center stage . . . make no mistake about it - anything labelled Immigration Reform is all about giving them total amnesty so the Democratic Party can sign them all up as Democrat voters for life and the Republicans true-to-form are bending over, spreading their collective cheeks and offering up the bunghole . . .
Well I'm an immigrant AND I'm a citizen plus I'm a veteran of course and this is what I have to say about it - this is the STORMBRINGER immigration policy:
You want to come into this country to work? No problem, we've got work that needs to be done and we need you to do it. Come over here and get in line. Get a number and get a card - WITH an electronic number on it. You can't work without it, AND we're going to tax you on every penny you make while you're up here.
Oh - did I mention there's a screening process? If you've got a criminal record, or if you have TB or HIV - sorry Charlie you go back to where you came from. Just like with the LEGAL immigrants.
You're welcome to come to our country to work. You've got five years on that work permit of yours. After that you go back home and that's it. And any kids you have while you're up here ain't US citizens. Just as if you're from one of the countries you came from - your kids are of the country you came from. When you go back, you take them back with you.
Amnesty? You want amnesty? OK - there's amnesty. If you sign up to serve in the military - AND qualify for service - then after three years you can apply for naturalization. Just like I did it. Just like in the Roman Empire.
That's the STORMBRINGER policy. What you say? That's too extreme? How odd - that's the standards I had to meet to immigrate, and to become a United States citizen.
Who says that? I say that.
