Some controversy has arisen over a new diagnosis that categorizes a patient's medical concerns as symptomatic of a mental disorder. For example, if a person spends hours on the Internet researching medical conditions, and the research makes that person feel ill, then he or she might be diagnosed with what is now called somatic symptom disorder. Symptoms of the disorder include extreme fear and "excessive and disproportionate thoughts, feelings and behaviors."
Woman killed, another injured in frightening Highway 14 crash
In the event of an accident, victims are often left shaken and afraid, with more questions than answers. A car accident is a traumatizing experience for those involved, leaving many with wounds ranging from minor cuts and bruises to catastrophic injuries.
Man injured in Wisconsin work accident struggles to recover
Suffering a work accident can be devastating for hard-working Wisconsin residents. Both physical and financial hardships are often the result after such a serious work injury. Fortunately, however, when most on-the-job injuries occur workers have the right to file for worker's compensation benefits to help with the financial difficulties that can come from such a work accident.
13 injured in three-car collision in Clark County
On the afternoon of Feb. 10, a three-vehicle collision in Clark County resulted in injuries to 13 individuals. The incident took place on Highway 10 near Neillsville. Multiple law enforcement and emergency response teams arrived on the scene, and the highway was closed for several hours as responders attempted to assist those involved in the car accident and remove the wreckage from the road. The accident is still under investigation, but law enforcement officials believe that a Honda Accord carrying seven individuals traveling eastbound began sliding on the road due to slushy conditions. As it lost control, the vehicle sideswiped a Chrysler traveling westbound driven by a 50-year-old woman. The Honda Accord then struck a third vehicle nearly head-on, a Toyota Tundra pickup truck carrying five individuals. As a result of the accident, all 13 individuals involved in the collision were transported to local medical centers for treatment, and some are reportedly in serious condition.
Drunk driver heads wrong way on freeway, crashes head-on
Drivers have the responsibility to be safe on the roads, and this includes not driving while under the influence of alcohol. Drunk driving accidents can result in permanent life-altering injuries as well as death. Someone involved in a car accident at the hands of a drunk driver in Wisconsin may have a lifelong struggle ahead of them, and it's only fair that the victim receives compensation for injuries.
2 dead, 1 hospitalized after Monroe County car accident
On Feb. 1, a two-vehicle collision resulted in the death of two individuals. The car accident occurred in the morning hours on Highway 16 in Adrian. A 47-year-old male driving a Dodge Stratus attempted to pass another vehicle and lost control of his vehicle. As the vehicle fishtailed, it struck a Dodge Grand Caravan Sport Van driven by a 32-year-old female.The driver of the minivan had to be extracted from her vehicle by law enforcement officials. She was transported to a local medical center to receive treatment for injuries sustained in the accident. A front-seat passenger in the Dodge Stratus died at the scene of the accident, and an infant in the backseat of the car died later at a local medical center. The driver of the Stratus and another passenger were both treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Workers' compensation needed for Wisconsin foundry workers
A Wisconsin foundry has been investigated recently by the nation's Occupational and Health Safety Administration. The foundry, which mainly focuses on production of metals, allegedly allowed workers to be exposed to crystalline silica dust and other harmful substances. This atmosphere creates a dangerous workplace for the men and women who work at the foundry, and can lead to illnesses that could cause some to seek workers' compensation.
Wisconsin NAMI director dispels mental-illness stigmas
Along with the national debate about gun control has come increased discussion about mental health issues. People are right to reconsider how people with mental conditions are diagnosed and treated, but unfortunately widespread discussion of these matters only seems to occur in the wake of a tragedy. Consequently, there is the risk of stigmatizing people with mental illness.
Juneau County man charged in fatal single-car crash
A reckless driver does not only endanger his or her own life but also puts the lives of others at risk. A fatal car accident can cause great sorrow and grief for the family members of the victim or victims. Other than suffering loss of companionship, they may also face financial problems as a result of the accident, particularly if the victim was a major contributor to the family's finances.
Wisconsin man recovers from summer crane accident
A Wisconsin man who suffered a terrible fall last summer has made an incredible recovery. The man is a crane operator and was working on a job on U.S. Highway 41 near Oshkosh when his life-threatening accident occurred. Though he had worked on cranes for 12 years, he had never been involved in an accident until last summer.
Wisconsin siblings devoted to helping people with disabilities
A brother and sister from Wisconsin who are familiar with the struggles associated with disability are working to help disabled individuals feel healthier and more welcome in the community. For many people with mental or physical disabilities, the disability itself leads to other physical problems such as diabetes, heart disease or obesity. And to combat those problems, the brother is raising money to create The Ability Center.
Wisconsin resident finds hope after a work accident
A Sheboygan, Wisconsin man who lost his fingers in an industrial accident ten years ago has now found hope through a successful prosthetic on his hand. The man lost three of his fingers in a work accident in which a punch press fell on his hand when he was working at a local factory. The three fingers were amputated and it took him a full year to heal from his injury. Most heartbreaking of all was the fact that his baby daughter was only two weeks old at the time of the accident, and he was unable to hold her.
Mother sues Wisconsin hospital for its role in son's suicide
Accepting that one's child, adult or not, needs constant medical help and supervision would be hard for many parents to accept. In the case of a Wisconsin family, the 27-year-old son suffered from schizophrenia and after getting into legal trouble was committed to a mental hospital.
Wisconsin worker prevails in workers' compensation case
A Wisconsin employee has prevailed in his workers' compensation claim. Records show the worker hurt his right knee when he slipped and fell inside of a building. The county never disputed the man had injured himself or that the injury was incurred during work-hours, but claimed the infection that came later may have been caused by his own negligence. With this evidence, the county believes his workers' compensation claim should have been denied.
January proved fatal for 40 motor vehicle accident victims
When the Wisconsin Department of Transportation totaled January's fatal accidents in the state, there was good news and bad news. The good news was that four fewer people died in traffic crashes than a year ago. The bad news was that with 40 fatalities, the total was still three higher than the state's five-year average. Most of the fatalities were drivers, and a few were either passengers or pedestrians. In 2010, January saw half as many fatalities, and in 1964, more than twice as many were killed. One state patrol believes a lot of the problem comes down to distracted driving in one way or another. Someone might be on a cell phone, or looking for something in their car, or trying to do a number of different things while driving,
News host speaks ill of SSDI recipients
It's a shame that some people try to attach a stigma to receiving much-needed benefits through the Social Security disability program. Recently, Shannon Bream of Fox News made the dubious claim that everyone -- all 8.8 million people -- who received Social Security disability benefits last year did so "under false pretenses." The statement is brazenly false, and it's important that Wisconsin residents understand why.
Dogs: Pets and safety threats
Dog bites can do some serious damage, so it's much better to avoid them than it is to have to treat them. The responsibility of avoiding dog bites falls to the owner of the dog, but not all owners are deeply concerned about that particular responsibility. With that in mind, anyone who's been bitten by a dog may want to seek legal counsel in order to be compensated for his or her injuries. Each year, around 2 percent of the population suffers a dog bite injury. Considering the number of people in the US, that's a lot of dog bites. Most victims are children, but adults can be attacked as well. Fifteen dog bite victims will die from their injuries every year, and two-thirds of those fatalities will be young children. This most often occurs when children are allowed to play with dogs that are not being properly supervised by their owners.
Milwaukee crash with UPS truck takes woman's life
When a commercial truck is involved in a motor vehicle accident, the potential for damage and injury is much greater than in crashes between smaller vehicles. Of course, any kind of auto accident is dangerous, but negligence on the part of truck drivers or truck manufacturers can have catastrophic effects simply because of the size and weight of the vehicle involved. Truck accident victims or their families should be aware of their rights and responsibilities after such a crash.
Did failure of brakes result in three car crash?
It is alleged that a driver ran a red light due to the failure of the brakes in his vehicle, and this then resulted in a three car crash. Though fortunately no one was injured in the accident, all of the vehicles involved in the accident sustained major damage.
Number of fatal car accidents rose across Wisconsin in 2012
Fatal vehicle accidents can leave families not knowing where to turn or how to proceed. But when another party's negligence leads to a fatal car accident, families need to know that legal remedies are available in the form of a wrongful death lawsuit.

It's Istanbul, not Constantinople!
Posted by Oran Mor at 11:31:00 AM
1 comment:
When I Googled "Istanbul, not Constantinople!" YouTube video and songs came on the screen. Wikipedia showed a long history of name changes, but I found their current information very interesting. Check this out: Istanbul With a population of 14.1 million, the city forms the largest urban agglomeration in Europe, second largest in the Middle East and the fifth-largest city in the world by population within city limits. What an adventure!ReplyDelete

finished 14, which was a really fun chapter; 27,346 word count
Writing Tip: In this chapter I had one character echo what was said by another character in a previous chapter. In the first, Bealomondore asked, "Do you know what I would like to do?" In this chapter, Efficinderpart asks the same exact question. Why does this work? These two characters are becoming friends. The repetition of the question establishes that they are beginning to feel a connection, they can banter, one recognizes the other will see this as an "inside" joke.
Repetition of a preposition idea:
The book landed flat and poofed the old flour up into the air.
Not good.
Repetition of a word:
He crouched as he approached the door. Effie also stooped as came to the door. Tak and Airon stayed at the back door and kept their eyes on the alley. Bealomondore manipulated the large dead bolt.
He crouched as he approached the door. Effie also stooped as she joined him. Tak and Airon stayed at the back and kept their eyes on the alley. Bealomondore manipulated the large dead bolt.

Repetition, good or bad?
1 comment:
What book is this from? Sounds familiar. I did just read Dragons of the Valley not too long ago. How exactly do you pronounce Bealomondore anyways? I stumbled over his name every time it popped up in the book. I always want to know the correct pronunciation. It drives me nuts when I don't. LOLReplyDelete

AIA Wisconsin President's Report
Many architects share an understanding of our planet that is comparable to that of our Native American colleagues: "Today's generation is borrowing this earth from their children."
In 1969, Wisconsin U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson announced an idea for a "national teach-in on the environment." Today, as I reflect on the true meaning of Earth Day, I think about the commitment architects make to deliver quality environments and buildings that work for everyone and for future generations. As architects, we share a passionate resolve for "good design" and improving the places where people engage every day.
This first quarter of my term as your president has been eventful and indicative of what's trending to be a remarkable year. The commitment of members like you to making this world a better place is the very commitment that drives us to be "champions" for our profession in diverse and unique ways . . .
It's not easy – it's work.
It's hard work – it's worthwhile
It's earnest – it's infectious
It's time to commit – commit across boundaries
It's time to recognize our challenges – celebrate our differences
It's leading by design – it's committing to lead.
In March, I had the privilege of attending the national AIA Grassroots leadership conference in Washington, DC, with state and local AIA leaders from across Wisconsin and the country. While much has changed since my first AIA Grassroots in the 1990s, I believe that our profession has endured and matured and remains very relevant.
It is essential that architects step up and speak up as we strive to anticipate the needs of our clients, our economy and our society and continue to lead by design. For our future, it's important we address the challenges facing our world, our regions, our cities and our neighborhoods. As AIA First Vice President Carl Elefante, FAIA, put it at Grassroots 2017, "It begins here. It begins now!"
It is essential that architects step up and speak up as we strive to anticipate the needs of our clients, our economy and our society and continue to lead by design.
Later this month, I will be representing AIA Wisconsin members at the national AIA Conference on Architecture in Orlando. One of the highlights of this year's conference will be celebrating the elevation of two AIA Wisconsin members to the AIA College of Fellows. Congratulations to Lisa Kennedy, FAIA, and Kurt Spiering, FAIA, for this recognition of their significant contributions to advancing our profession!
In May, we will be hosting the 2017 AIA Wisconsin Conference on Architecture in Madison. Commit is a perfect theme for this valuable annual opportunity to gather, network, share and learn about emerging design and practice topics.
Commit to learning more about how you can make a difference in your career, your practice, your profession and your community by participating in this year's conference. I look forward to seeing you at Monona Terrace on May 17 & 18!

Hi there, I'm still alive & kicking. Had a very bad case of the cold combined with something else, not sure what. I have been sick as a dog since Saturday, to the point of taking time off work. (Rare for me)
I feel like I'm resurfacing today out of my kleenex & blanket cocoon and getting back into real life finally! I hope to post some fun links tomorrow, so stay tuned in!

Film Notes
Veterans Fighting for Peace
Filmmaker David Zeiger says his Vietnam War documentary "Sir! No Sir!" emerged only during "the ramp-up before the Iraq war, which was what forced me to make the film." (See review on Page 50.)
Zeiger's career has included the "Senior Year" series on PBS (about students at Los Angeles's diverse Fairfax High School) and his 2003 concert film, "Night of Ferocious Joy," featuring Ozomatli, the Coup, Blackalicious and other groups.
Three years ago, Zeiger realized it was time to tell a story from his youth: In 1969, the 19-year-old dropped out of college and moved to Killeen, Tex., to work at the Oleo Strut coffee shop just outside the Fort Hood Army base. That coffee shop was one of a network of venues set up for soldiers, especially those just back from the war, to relax and socialize off-base. ("Oleo strut" refers to an aircraft shock absorber.) Soon enough, vets angered by what they saw and did in Vietnam used Oleo Strut and other places as rallying points for antiwar protests, and the GI Movement was born.
"I felt that I had a big burden," Zeiger says. "I knew how diverse and intense and wild this movement was, and I knew that this was really the only chance I had to make a movie about this movement. . . . A lot depended on it because these were the years that shaped their [the veterans'] lives. It was this history that had been buried, covered up, and I owed it to them to do it right."
"Sir! No Sir!" chronicles the GI Movement from 1965 to 1975, blending archival footage with interviews of Vietnam veterans (many of whom were jailed for protesting) and civilian antiwar activists (including Jane Fonda). He also examines how the GI Movement was covered up by politicians, movies and rumors. Zeiger used clips from national news programs and displays of troops' underground newspapers and included scenes from other documentaries and soldiers' personal home movies.
More than 30 years after it ended, the Vietnam War is still a hot-button topic in this country, and Zeiger acknowledges that the participants in his film took risks in allowing on-camera interviews: "There are stories in this that are very damning of the war and of the military and government. . . . The risk is drawing fire from the other side, from people who've always denied that this happened. . . . You can say what you want about the film, about individuals . . . but you can't deny that this [the GI Movement] happened and that it represented a very significant group of soldiers."
One story the film recounts, then dismisses as fiction, is the often-repeated one about antiwar protesters spitting on returning vets and calling them baby-killers. "People rattle this off as if it were fact, like the assassination of Martin Luther King," Zeiger says. "I take no credit for [disproving it] -- it was Jerry Lembcke," whose book "The Spitting Image: Myth, Memory and the Legacy of Vietnam" contends that those stories were largely fabricated to denigrate protesters, citing a lack of photographic evidence and the incident's improbability.
Though the film makes no mention of the Iraq war, Zeiger himself finds many similarities. He calls "incredibly hypocritical" the government's reaction to reports of brutality, especially the My Lai massacre in Vietnam and torture at Abu Ghraib: "The antiwar people usually say these are the logical results of how the war is conducted, with the blame going all the way up to George Bush and Rumsfeld, or Nixon and Kissinger. Meanwhile, the government turns around and says, 'No, it was the soldiers, the low-level officers and GIs,' " calling the acts isolated incidents of aberrant behavior.
Zeiger says that, despite the parallels, Iraq isn't simply a mirror of Vietnam. Still, he says, "the people in this country who are not being isolated from or protected from the war in Iraq are the troops. And they're no different from anyone else, they're just as capable as anyone of knowing right from wrong."

Ok - so I didn't want to turn this blog into the story of Cash and his intestinal issues, but here we are starting the 5th month of the "issues"... He has had these "issues" on and off since July 15th. The assumption at this point is that the "issues" are caused by food, but they come and go, so who knows.
This week finds us working our way back onto dog food after a very bad weekend that resulted in the loss of about 5 pounds and the little guy being restricted to a diet of only canned pumpkin. As you can see, he looks pretty scrawny these days :( But so far, so good as we work on this transition to food. Lets keep the fingers and tails crossed, shall we?

work in progress
July 24, 2013 § Leave a comment
Steve is preparing for a show at the Art House in Sacramento, opening on November 9. To some of us, that seems like a lifetime away. I suspect to Steve it feels like ten minutes away. The show is an extension of his re:mapping collection. Designer by day, painter by night, golfer and gardener in the moments between. I have to say, the guy gets a lot out of his 24 hours. A sneak peak at the work in progress.

Then off to see the fascinating line up of fussy toddlers and babies.
I had arranged with Sue and Carolyn to meet for lunch at Mr Price's Food Store in Queensberry St Nth Melbourne.
I had passed this place frequently but it is only open for lunch but looked a fascinating tiny room with lots of 'eclectic clutter' (what Maddy said meant classy junk)
Gary Price's restaurant is filled with his own personal art and literary collections. The menu is handwritten each morning and is filled with in-season produce Gary picked up from the Footscray Market earlier that morning. While the dips and salmon we had was delicious it was with tomato sugo and Okra. While tasty, not my best meal. But convivial company and a good glass of wine in a pleasant atmosphere.
After I had a few hours break then went to Nth Melbourne station to meet Mary in the city at Parliament Station after her work. We then went to a brand had a champagne and traveled back to Nth Melbourne together.
A few more calls in the evening rounded off avery nice day!
To bed at a reasonable time as I was off at 630 in the morning to care for Dylan .

Not Your Typical Love Poem
This isn't your typical love poem
And knowing how sneaky this bitch is
I don't want to speak too loud because she's listening
I do love her, but I know with no doubt in my mind
That she doesn't and will never love me
I don't know how many men she has been with
She's not your typical Match.com girl
I'm sure we all have experienced that moment
When you see the sexiest profile pic
Check out her stats…
She has got the body of a goddess
Curved and shapely
Got the right peaks and valleys you know?
She's not that tall and has some wide ass hips
Like coast to coast
Then baby got that ripped flat interior section
I was so intrigued
Until I saw that face…
Face from hell!!
But I said to myself…
Ugliness can be fixed…I mean we do all have our faults
So I read her greeting
She says she is not shy
And her sex is irresistible
All you have to do is cum
She even went on to say that when her sexual faucet
Straight down the middle over flows…
Move away because she isn't a squirter
She's a gusher
So you know I had to save this profile as a favorite
Where does my love for her originate?
I guess it was the poems that she wrote
A piece about her finally being liberated and independent
Another about how men can do right about her
I loved her strength and confidence in the words she would display.
I loved her ideals
I loved the way I felt when I would explore her
Then I matured and saw more than I thought I would ever see
And understood that she may have matured
In her size
In her look
In her attributes
But mentally
Her ass is still a child!
She is pretty fucked up in the brain and I try not to fuck with her like that
I Googled her one night and I found out some interesting shit
Her fucked up ways started when she was born
She's a bastard
Her relatives couldn't agree on a name for her
They tried to bring some stability and a mother's love to her young life
But all she ever saw and learned to do from a young age was how to fight, confuse, bicker, argue, gossip, gold dig
And of course…Fuck!
The father figures in her life helped to tarnish her
I guess if she would have had a mother, she wouldn't walk around fuckin' everyone and everything over, just for her own satisfaction
You know how us men are
We revel in what we can attain through any means…but not in a nurturing way
They did their best to give her a set of ideals and principles and made it plain and simple
Sort of like a set of rules
Laying down the law
Father's with no help from Mother's have their issues
This is the importance of a two parent household to keep one another in check
Children pay attention and will learn from your actions…
Just like she did
A father that helped to raise her was a great man and his legacy and achievements are known worldwide
But I remember my mother told me a long time ago
If it doesn't come out in the wash?
It will come out in the rinse…
And when his closet full of secrets was opened and it was discovered the he had a weakness for the forbidden fruit of chocolate
All hell broke loose!
This secret was the subject of numerous arguments and long drawn out fights between her relatives punishable by humiliation and even death
All of her father's were taking part in the same game!
It was kept on the down low…but everybody knew.
I feel sorry for the girl…
But I feel more sorry for me that I continue to love her
I'll admit that she does have a soft place in her heart for those of her friends that are less fortunate and have fallen on hard times
But beware! Baby girl is gangsta if you dare to attempt to cross her
Check this out…
One brother was speaking sexy and soft love poems about his dreams of her
She got tired of hearing them since he wouldn't let it be…
He got shot
Another brother was talking about her and what she did to him
I mean some real cold blooded shit that would make any woman mad
This chick went and got his brothers to terrorize him and get him to stop
Guess what?
He got shot
Now this one dude got done in real bad
He was protective of her, did all the right things and was a popular dude
Took an oath and vow of love and honor to her
For everyone to see
Then for some reason that no one knows
This bitch got mad at him and arranged a drive by shooting on him
She threatens to beat your ass in front of her friends…and threatens them too
If someone has the guts to attack her or throws a punch…she will fuck them up
And then fuck up someone else for general purposes
This bitch can take on many at one time…it's a gang bang and she doin' the fuckin'
She's just a big booty bully ass bitch
Even with obvious proof and her prints on the gun…
Even with a written and recorded confession
The verdict is…
She is a cocky bitch and will sling her pussy out and beg you to fuck her
She'll fuck and throw her cum and your cum in your face…
She'll take your cash
And leave you without a pot to piss in nor a window to throw it out of
Sing her praises, she'll curse you
Try to reason with her, she'll ignore you
Ask for her help, she'll turn a blind eye
And will dare you to leave her arms, claiming that you don't love her
Knowing you won't ever find a bigger, badder, bitch than she is
That's her
She will fuck you, ya momma, daddy, and ya baby
And then label you the whore
This is not your typical love poem
I love her and she will never love me
I don't care to fight for her to love me
I know she won't return the love.
This not so typical love poem is about you!
I Love You But, God Love's You More!

Just noticed this evening, Chevy has renamed their lowest end car from Avio to Sonic. Note to Mary Barra. Sonic is a Hedgehog. Any kid knows that. It's as bad as when Chevy named a car Beretta years ago. Everyone knows Beretta is an Italian handgun.
Picking a car name is an important part of marketing it. So far Chevy has been screwing it up. Volt is a unit of electricity, not a hybrid car. Cruze is a height challenged movie star.

This Thin film coating is usually a typical "diode" manner sputtering cathode while using the critical improvement of any lasting magnet range driving this cathode. That magnet range is usually fixed so that the over unity magnetic subject within the experience on the concentrate on is usually usual towards energy subject within a finished journey in addition to sorts some sort of boundary "tunnel" which often contains electrons next to the surface of the concentrate on. That helps this proficiency connected with propane ionization in addition to constrains this relieve plasma, letting better recent on cheaper propane demand in addition to accomplishes a larger sputter depositing pace intended for PVD (Physical Smoke Deposition) coatings.
Distinctive Magnetron cathode/target patterns are utilised, although the most prevalent usually are sale paper in addition to sq .. Sq . Magnetrons are generally obtained in much larger degree "in line" programs where by substrates search within linearly beyond the finds with a certain amount of conveyor belt or maybe service. Sale paper Magnetrons are definitely more normally obtained in small degree "planar sputtering target" bowl programs or maybe sole wafer programs with cluster instruments.
While more difficult behaviour may be accomplished, almost all cathodes -- as well as enable sale paper in addition to sq . people -- employ a uncomplicated concentric magnet style while using the core currently being just one scratching post along with the edge and the second. With the sale paper Magnetron, that is a somewhat modest around magnet from the core, in addition to a annular wedding ring magnet on the other polarity about the external that has a hole concerning.
With the Vacuum coating machines is generally some sort of clubhouse decrease this very long axis (but a lot less than all of the length) that has a sq . "fence" on the other polarity right all around the item that has a hole concerning. This hole is usually the spot that the plasma will likely be, some sort of sale paper wedding ring from the sale paper Magnetron or maybe a elongated "race track" from the sq .. Realize that, in particular with much larger cathodes, this magnets is usually various specific pieces as an alternative to just one stable portion.
The way it is needed with PVD coating in addition to stuff sputters down, it will be easy to discover most of these quality erosion behaviour within the concentrate on experience. In truth, in the instance of almost any magnet complications like missing out on, misaligned, or maybe the wrong way up, this erosion journey will likely be unnatural and this can be a superb diagnostic clue connected with like complications of your Magnetron cathode.

Meeting with an old friend,catching up is really fun indeed. today my fellow colleague come to Irbid and we had the chance to meet up at a local coffee shop for a chat. It was indeed really nice to be able to see an old friend, reminiscing of or past, laughing at our old selves and discussing about our present and future not forgetting other stuff.

Aiman Rosli aka Papa Aiman as we use to call him cause he's the first from our batch to get married and have a kid. He comes to Irbid once again chauffeuring new students this time around. 'I still remember the times we ate Hazim's famous chicken with salt during one of the Ramadhan we spent here together' says him whilst enjoying Jordan's famous 3aseer Shummam (Honeydew juice)

Three old school Irbid scholars, three different backgrounds, three different past but sharing at the same table. We are from the MEP5 batch.

Yes as playful and fun as it gets chit chatting with them, we do gain more than we could ask from this simple meeting. For me the thought and company of my own batch, the news from them from afar, knowing how their life today makes me feel so happy and i look forward for what mine is to come. I think this is what they call the process of maturity.

There are times when we get lazy and it keeps adding on, the laziness it's like tumbling down a hill. you go on and on and on until you hit a boulder that stops you at your back. Then it's your choice to whether pick yourself up and start climbing again or roll over to the side and tumble again. Yes, let's face it, life is always an uphill climb. Nobody can just let themselves tumble over and expect to reach the top.The only sure way is to keep on climbing one step after another and when you get to a halt and start tumbling again, get back up and go ...... again.

But who says that it's always a bad thing right? life.

Good news, i am back to blogging. Not really sure of what i'm gonna write and why i decide to write again, maybe i just need the practice or subconsciously i miss it, well whatever it is i am glad i am back. Clearly it has been too long since I last write anything at all. Even notes i rarely write and even if I did, i don't think I can call it writing though.

I feel a bit rusty with blogging maybe since I been seeing other people's blog and they're so mature and purposeful made me feel like a toddler. lol (here I go again) Anyhow I should think what to write so that i don't make a fool out of myself again yeah. (the 'yeah' part due to recent watchlist of Gordon Ramsay's TV shows)

Here's a bonus form my first post since too long - a picture from my trip to Wadi Mujib last June.

Cheerios!

Once again, "that time of the month." I huff and I puff.
Blackballed By Google…
The ban continues. This blog has not been indexed by Google Blog Search in 45 days, or Google Search in 29 days.
…But That Won't Stop Me
I told you to keep your eye on paid search trends. Google's Q1 report showed volume up 5% over Q4. Not as fast as it is used to, still not bad. But average cost-per-click (flip the coin to get Google's revenues) declined 4% quarter-to-quarter. You'll hear that is normal holiday seasonality. I'll tell you to keep your eye on it.
Giving You The High Sign
The news about digital signage is heating up, just like I told you it would. Lots of press about Nordstrom putting big video screens in front of new store construction in NYC's Union Square. Plus, Access 360, which handles digital signage for malls and in-store, bought Arena Media Networks (guess what it does?). See something, buy something.
Yelling Fore In Sears
This one goes way back to a "How Would You Save" in 2008. One of our ideas for Sears was to clear out the junk apparel and use the space created to sell some services. Wasn't thinking of golf, but we'll take it. Sears just announced it is opening pro shops in a dozen stores. Can a Craftsman sand wedge be far behind?
When The Best Viral Video Isn't Good Enough
Early in the year we pointed out, even in this era of social media, how important TV is for generating awareness. I never thought I'd live to see this, though. One of the most talked about/viewed viral videos – the Evian roller babies – will now be run on broadcast television. No social media "gurus" could explain this even if they tried (of course, none have).
I'll Take My Drunk To Go
We are waiting for the warmer weather to hit Pennsylvania (July?) to see how those grocery-store pubs are doing. In the meantime, Meijer is one of several retailers testing a drive-thru window. Is that considered green?
Dumas Of The Month
At the last minute, Forrester CEO George Colony stepped up, with his outrageous social media timeline, to snag this month's Alexandre Dumas award. Infinity and beyond!
From The Larry King File: Is It Me, Or…
Was I the only one who read that Snapfish was throwing a big 10-year celebration and cried out "what the hell, Snapfish is still in business?!?"

This fish laughs in the face of conformity.
Bizarre little critter, isn't it? Now that image needs a bit of explaining as the normal features one would expect just aren't right on this thing. Those two things up front that look like a cartoonists representation of eyes are in fact its nares. Nares are the olfactory structures of fish. These sensing organs are usually not quite this noticeable on your average fish, but the Barrel-Eye has a particularly developed set. The fact that they are facing forward on a transparent dome only makes them more conspicuous.
The real eyes are the two bubble looking structures inside the head. Those bubbles are actually massive lenses used by the fish to focus the dim light better. They get their name for the fact that the entire eye is cylindrical like a barrel. They tend to stay mostly motionless in the water column (which explains the large fins) with its eyes facing upward hoping to spot the silhouette of passing prey items. Also of note is the fact of the green pigment in the eyes. It is hypothesized that this is designed to filter out the last bits of natural sunlight that reaches the fish (as green light penetrates the deepest) so that it can focus on the bio-luminescence of its intended meal. The eyes get even stranger when you realize they can rotate to face forward.
Never has the simple turning of the eyes looked so strange.
So why does this fish have its eyes encased in that fluid filled head of its? The best guess comes from the prey items of this fish. Stomach contents show that it preys on sea jellies frequently. Having its eyes enclosed would allow them to be out of the reach of the cnidocytes (stinging cells) on the jellies tentacles. Another hypothesis is that the Barrel-Eye actually steals prey caught by siphonophores. Siphonophores being a colonial species of Cnidarian (the phylum all sea jellies, anemones, corals and hydras belong to) that looks like a long rope with tentacles along the length in clusters for catching prey.
The siphonophore Praya dubia, which may be one of the longest organisms with a length recoded to over 40 meters (131 feet)
Siphonophores are one of the more efficient hunters of the deep oceans, so feeding off of their catches would be a great strategy for a fish to develop. Even better, most siphonophores use bio-luminescence to attract prey, the green tinted lenses mentioned earlier would be especially helpful in picking this out.
The Barrel eye has been noted to live at the depths of 600 meters (2,000 ft) to 800 meters (2,600 ft), so unless you have access to a deep water submersible, there is little chance of encountering this critter on your next dive. Once again proving that the deep ocean gets to have all the crazy creatures.

By Patrick Summers, HGO Artistic and Music Director
This summer I had a lighter performance schedule than usual, which was exactly what was intended and needed after the demanding summit of Siegfried, which will remain one of the most joyous memories I've ever had as a conductor. What a masterpiece! I was one of four conductors for David Gockley's farewell gala at San Francisco Opera, and of course it was a great melancholy pleasure to usher David into his retirement, given our long personal and professional relationship and his never-to-be-underestimated effect on both HGO and the entire operatic art form during his long career. San Francisco Opera threw him a marvelous party, as did HGO a decade ago.
A lot of this summer's peregrinations were for meetings around the world with operatic colleagues, to develop future collaborations with HGO. In June I was in Barcelona, London, Glyndebourne, and Vienna, and saw a wide range of performances, with unquestionably the greatest being Joyce DiDonato and Vittorio Grigolo in Werther at the Royal Opera, Covent Garden, sweepingly and passionately conducted by Tony Pappano. I'm likely never to experience a finer performance of that enigmatic and moving opera. I also ran up to Cincinnati Opera, always a very sentimental place for me since I saw almost all of my first operas there as a child. Christine Goerke and Russell Thomas soared through a very moving performance of Fidelio, but the highlight of the trip was a new opera with deep HGO connections written by Gregory Spears, a composer who has already written two operas for HGOco, most recently O Columbia. His Cincinnati commission, Fellow Travelers, with a libretto by Greg Pierce and directed by Kevin Newberry, revealed an incredibly gifted composer coming into his full maturity. The opera is one of the most moving and beautiful of recent years. What a thrill!
Next I was in Aspen at the Music Festival and School to conduct and teach for several weeks. Given the dizzying talent the festival attracts, there were daily highlights. Conducting the extremely challenging Roger Sessions Violin Concerto with Gil Shaham, the Mozart Wind Concertante with a quartet of glorious players, and a Haydn symphony (a great passion of mine that can't be indulged in an opera house!) were certainly among them, but the great renewing and enriching part of the Aspen Festival is the opportunity to teach, and this year I taught nine gifted conductors in opera master classes. Watching them grow and improve is undoubtedly the artistic highlight of the summer, and seeing the future of this great and vast art through their young eyes will be my memory of the summer of 2016.

Once again,
's rich theater
community has introduced us to a show we've never seen – this time, Theatre in
the Grove's production of The 25th
Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee – and it is well worth the drive to
Forest Grove. A small-time spelling bee seems an unlikely subject for musical
comedy, but director Zach Centers and his nine-person cast (all adults, and
aided by three somewhat befuddled audience members) deliver two hours of
fast-paced humor, pathos, and angst that manages to preserve some of the
improvisational flavor of the show's origin. Washington
The story centers on six eccentric schoolchildren (of indeterminate ages) who are competing in the fictional
annual spelling bee. Last year's winner, Chip, is a somewhat hyperactive boy
scout who is competing against Logainne, a young girl being raised by her two
fathers, Leaf, a dim and insecure boy who yearns for his family's acceptance,
William, an obsessively competitive nerd, Marcy, a perennially and parentally
driven overachiever, and Olive, an impoverished but optimistic lost soul wending
her way through life with little parental support. The competition is ill-managed
by three pseudo-adults – Rona Lisa Peretti, who will never recapture the
long-lost glory of her own spelling bee victory, angry and frustrated Vice
Principal Panch, who will never be a principal (or very bright), and surprisingly
empathetic Mitch Mahoney, the unlikely ex-con "comfort counselor" working off
his community service hours by handing out hugs and juice boxes to eliminated
contestants. Putnam County
In a cast with no weak links, a few performances really demand special recognition. Brittney Spady (as Logainne Schwartzandgrubenniere) is by far the most successful at capturing the essence of awkward childhood. Her unusual lisp and effervescent outlook combine to capture the persona of a truly nice little girl. In contrast, Jason Yates (Vice Principal Panch) does a great job of portraying the classic public school martinet – everything by the book; what little power he has comes from dominating the weak. His stunning transformation at the end of the bee gives us hope that even the coldest bureaucrat may harbor some human tendencies. Brittany Bickel (as Olive Ostrovsky) really sells the whole show – her poignant enthusiasm provides a stark counterpoint to the "win at any cost" ethic of the competition, and the audience, like Panch, ultimately falls in love with this sensitive underdog.
Vocal director Justin Canfield (who also plays William) draws strong ensemble work as well as interesting solo performances (some lovely, some deliberately quite awful) from the cast. The small but mighty orchestra, conducted by Alicia Barrett, provides just the right musical touch – ranging from barely discernible to strident depending on the demands of the moment. Light designer Ward Ramsdell makes it possible for the cast to shift from high school gymnasium to intimate flashbacks and dreamlike spots.
TITG mainstay Zachary Centers (who served as costume and set designer in addition to his directorial role) has succeeded in capturing an often hilarious episode in the lives of his "children" that shows them negotiating the tricky waters between childhood innocence and adult realities (some of which render the show inappropriate for very young children). The Bee has two more weeks to run, and anyone who enjoys live musical theater will find a lot to like about this remarkable production.
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is playing at Theatre in the Grove,
2028 Pacific Avenue,
Forest Grove through April 21st with performances Friday and
Saturday at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m.

No, it doesn't rain here all the time. This isn't one of the rainiest cities in the U.S. Annual precipitation isn't really high. Buffalo and Cleveland rank higher in days where it rains or snows each year. Locals will scoff at tales of constant rainfall, insisting urban legends such as this will keep away the riffraff. And NBCnews.com asks, "Do you think Seattle is the rainiest city in the United States? Well, think again. Mobile, Ala., actually topped a new list of soggiest cities in the contiguous 48 states, with more than 5 feet of rainfall annually, according to a study conducted by San Francisco-based WeatherBill, Inc. The Southeast dominated the most rainy list, while the Pacific Northwest never enters the list until Olympia, Washington pops up at number 24."
My fellow Northwesterners, you can protest all you want … but the fact is, it is wet in Seattle.
It was not until I moved east that I realized just HOW wet it is in Seattle. The ground is wet. The AIR is wet. I spent the past week in the Seattle area under a thick cloud of fog – seeing the sun break through just twice – and I was wet. I had bad hair days. I had flashbacks of wet Januarys when my umbrella would be turned inside out. Moss grows on everything. But there was no rain this past week … nothing to add to the rainfall total, just a thick, penetrating fog that sometimes sat right on the ground. It coated everything – the lawn, the shrubbery, the roads, the dog – and it was cold and damp and got right into your bones. Until I moved away, I never even noticed this – even when it took an extra hour in the morning on the ferry to cross the Sound into West Seattle. In retrospect, I think we need to lose the "s" out of "west".
But … and I am talking to you, fellow Northwesterners … have you ever really gone outside and looked at things closely on a foggy morning such as what you've had this past week? My mother pointed out how beautiful the spiderwebs were on the shrubs, and on closer inspection I found a world of beauty in these bad hair days. Everything was coated in tiny water droplets, which shimmered like diamonds, and as I flew home last night and looked down on the towns below me I realized they resembled what I saw on what was left of my mother's clematis: glittering lights in gold and silver, spread out randomly but in some kind of odd order, harmonious and beautiful.
Am I sorry I didn't see the sun this past week? No … these photos offer an explanation why we Northwesterners don't complain too much. If you look closely enough, it's reason enough to stay quiet. Seattle's beauty is in the details.

KINGSTON, R.I. – May 4, 2009 – When Lauren Korecky enrolled at the University of Rhode Island, she knew she wanted to ride horses and study marine biology. But as she looks toward graduation on May 17 as the University's top aquaculture student, she had no idea that a career in aquatic medicine was in her future.
When the Manalapan, N.J. resident took an elective course in aquaculture as a sophomore, she was immediately intrigued by the discipline.
"I fell in love with the topic material and the professors, and there was no going back," Korecky said. "I just loved the professors and their passion about aquaculture, so they made it easy and interesting to learn. And they had traveled everywhere, so it was exciting hearing where they had been."
She was awarded a Coastal Fellowship to work on a research project with her favorite professor, Marta Gomez-Chiarri, to learn about lab work and get a taste for what her career might be.
"We did a challenge with oysters, experimentally infecting them with a parasite and comparing them to uninfected oysters," Korecky said. "We were looking for the activity of a specific protein to see if it positively affects their immune response. Does this protein help them fight off the parasite, and if it does, can you breed oysters with more of that protein so they don't get sick in farms?"
As a junior she took a graduate level course on the diseases of aquatic organisms, which launched her on a career path that will include enrolling in veterinary school.
"Vet school for aquatic organisms is a new sort of thing, but it's on the rise because of the growth of the aquaculture industry," said Korecky. "They need medical personnel who can travel from farm to farm to monitor the animals and analyze what might be wrong. Unlike a vet at an aquarium, which only has a few individuals of any one species, aquaculture facilities can have 300,000 fish, so if you don't identify the problem quickly you could lose them all."
While pursuing her undergraduate studies, the URI student took advantage of numerous opportunities to expand her horizons. She participated in SEA Semester, which she described as "easily one of the best experiences of my life," during which she spent six weeks on land studying oceanography and how to operate a sailing vessel, and six weeks sailing from Massachusetts to Trinidad and back.
"While onboard, we were totally in charge of sailing the boat, and we had to do an oceanography research project while we were out there," she explained. "I did a project on zooplankton in the surface waters, surveying any and all the plankton we could find and trying to figure out if there is more at night or during the day, in warm waters versus cold, and in areas where there was a current or no current. It was a very broad project, and a lot of our hypotheses actually happened."
Korecky also spent a month in Costa Rica studying the diversity of mammals that live on coffee plantations. She trapped forest mice, opossums, tropical bats and other animals to compare the numbers and variety of species found in shade-grown coffee plantations with those found in traditional coffee plantations.
Throughout her college education, Korecky also competed on the URI equestrian team, where she entered 10 horse shows each year to accumulate points.
"It was a nice team bonding experience," she said. "Horseback riding here is very different from my experience outside of school. It's a very different type of riding that took some getting used to, but by the end of my freshman year I got into it, and by my senior year I reached the highest division and went to the first round of finals."
Following graduation, Korecky will spend the summer as an intern at New England Aquarium in Boston to get her first real-world experience with aquatic medicine. Then she plans to enroll at Rutgers University to earn a master's degree in pathology as preparation for veterinary school.
"Eventually I expect to be working with universities and aquaculture farms somewhere along the coast or near a large lake system or river," she said. "I could even end up in Asia, where aquaculture is really big. It doesn't matter to me whether I'm working with finfish or shellfish; I want to do it all."

Wednesday and Friday lunchtime always brings a crowd with Off the Grid 5M (5th & Minna). Today we were tipped off on an art installation with public participation along with the food trucks. A few of us stepped out for a long lunch and gave our faces to art!
we even saw some of our friends from studio O+A join on the fun:
The art installation is "A nationwide participatory art initiative aimed at creating a portrait of America that includes immigrants and the descendants of immigrants alike,"  by the french street artist JR. JR is well known for his work in various cities across the globe. I know him best from his work on Favelas in Brazil and as the 2011 Ted Prize Winner–check out his ted talks video here.

1. Just because it's true doesn't mean it's your job to say it. Discernment from the Holy Spirit, and consideration for what your relationship is to the other person, is necessary. You are not the truth police. There are times a thing doesn't need to be said, but rather prayed over, because God is really good at bringing His kids to the place of understanding.
2. Just because it's true doesn't mean it needs to be said at all. Are you nagging? Is it your place? Is it helpful? Is it necessary? Is it really a big deal? Does it even matter?
3. When speaking the truth, it is helpful to focus on the main truth you want to share. Do not unload all the truth you know, or think you know, about a topic, or a person and his issues. Pick one or two. Too much is, well...too much.
4. Check your motive. Are you concerned for the other person or are you just frustrated? I think we can speak truths about things that frustrate us, but not while we are frustrated. T.I.M.I.N.G.
5. Speaking truth in a way that is destructive to another person, and blaming it on the Holy Spirit, isn't nice.
6. Be prepared to receive truth as well as dispense it. Otherwise, you lack integrity and may have no place sharing it in the first place. If you can't take it, don't dish it out.
7. Finally, be prepared to eat your words in the future, in the rare case that what you thought was true was, in fact, false. Because let's face it. Sometimes we get it wrong.
"When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise." Proverbs 10:19.
I need that verse plastered all over my house.

I see the light! The light at the end of the tunnel, that is. I feel like I have been walking in some darkness without much good going on around me, yet faithful trudging along as God has called me. However, last week when I felt this way, I did a couple of things. I blogged about it and several let me know they were praying for me. And I sent out a prayer newsletter for our church plant that included several requests for myself. This I know, God is for me! One of the simpler scriptures (I think a Proverb), but so very profound. God is for me!
Here are some ways that God reminded me of that these past couple of weeks. Many responded to my email requests to add them to our prayer list, and many with personally encouraging words. I don't remember which day I had typed my last blog, but Tuesday, I believe I went home from work sick. I had a horrible, head cold that was giving me constant headaches. It was not fun. All this while trying to deal with all the other stuff in my life. I laid down at home for a couple of hours and then went to the Dr. The doc gave me a prescription, of course and I went home. I asked my wife to take it into town for me to have it filled and so she did. Before she ever returned within a couple of hours, I started feeling much better. I was able to breathe freely and I felt so good, I almost wanted to work out! I said, almost. :) And I hadn't even taken medicine, yet. I have a feeling people were praying for me. There was just no real explanation. I felt worse than any other day. I had a prescription that hadn't even been filled yet. And I had just laid down for a few hours, I didn't even sleep. Since, then I haven't been stuffed up once. My headaches were gone. Praise God!
I took a couple of trips to the suntan bed. Wow! That helped alot too. Most of my winter depression feelings have gone. Several days I've almost wanted to work out. I said, almost. :) I've actually felt really good for several days. Like you might in the late spring or a mid-summer day where you don't really have much to do. That part has been kinda weird and different, but nice. There were even a few moments, where I thought, I remember feeling like this as a kid or teenager. Energy level, carefree sense with no real bodily pain or fatigue. Interesting. I think people were praying for me. Praise God!
Finances have been an issue. I knew it would be a matter of time, but time had been waning. Then Sunday night came and Life House Community blessed me and my family considerably. Just like the day that they all prayed for God's direction in my life to be clear and I sensed God was telling me these were the people to partner with and start a church, I felt that same expression of community and love. I was dumbfounded, almost speechless. I could only think in blurbs, not sentences. Wow. Humbled. Blessed. Thankful. Surprised. Honored. Appreciated. Let's just say I'm not gonna waste any more brain power wondering how to fix the finances. Plus, this has given me an opportunity to be a giver and a fixer of some of my past mistakes. God is generous to us when we submit ourselves to Him and His will. God, thank you for some great people and being so faithful in my life! Praise God!
My parents came to visit this past weekend as well. As you may remember, we had a bad episode (My dad and I) at Thanksgiving and I've been wondering how and when to reconcile. My mom this past week sent us an email, saying they wanted to stop by and spend a little time with us on their way to Columbus. Initially, it sounded like just a few hours over a day or two. Well, as things played out, my dad changed his mind on their plans (there's a new one :) and they decided to stay at our house for two days and spend some time with us instead of more travel doing more things. Great, but what about the reconciliation? Well, in my heart, as you may or may not have heard. I had forgiven him. I don't let that stuff stay around, but I hadn't yet talked to him. So, they pulled up to the house on Friday evening and as they started to the door, I went out to greet them and help dad inside (b/c of his bad leg(s)). Immediately, he said he was sorry and I quickly responded with, "I forgive ya." We joked about it never happening again and went on inside to share the latest and greatest of our lives. The next morning on the way to Columbus together, we had a lengthy somewhat emotional discussion. It was good to talk about it. We definitely see things from different points of view, but the point is, I know he loves me and doesn't want to "fight." I hope I relayed to him the same. Someone said to me this past week that father and son stuff can be tough. Yeah, I know. And if anyone exemplifies that it is Jesus and God, the father. Now there relationship is one of pure love. But, imagine having to "give up" your only son and the son struggling with that in the garden and on the cross, but ultimately and completely being obedient to it. Wow. Tough stuff. Not to mention the beautiful picture of our heavenly father waiting for us with open arms, no matter how bad we've been or what we've said, ready to forgive us even before we get there. What a great, amazing, merciful father. Praise God!
And to top the weekend off, the Steelers beat the Ravens in a game they had no business winning. Wow, this is starting to be a habit of theirs. As long as the winning part continues, they can do it however they want. :) But, seriously, I hope they get their offense fixed. I think the Steelers game was just a nice little topping on a great, blessed Sundae(y)! Light shining brightly as I enter the end of the tunnel, or should I say, exit the tunnel. Praise God!
Can I praise God for the Steelers winning? Too bad, I already did. :) I'm not sure he had much to do with it, but I can praise Him for whatever I want. :)
We've got so many things to look forward to. My beautiful, talented, smart, leader of a daughter just finished a nice choir special in the mall. I got to spend some time with her. She is growing so big, so fast. She is such a beautfiful young lady, inside and out. When I look at my entire family, I have so much to be thankful for. One week ago, I knew it, but I couldn't feel it. Today, I am overjoyed by these realities. God has answered many prayers. He has given me great hope and has shown himself real in my life this week in a time that I greatly needed it.
Whereas last week, I said that my blog could have been a bit self-serving by calling attention to my woes and needs for prayer. This week, I hope you've been inspired by an amazing God who hears our prayers and knows our needs and wants to bless us. Oh, did I mention, God is on our side! God is on my side! He is for me! And He is for you! Praise God!

A man was recently flying to New York. He decided to strike up a conversation with his seat mate. "I've got a great policeman joke. Would you like to hear it?"
"I should let you know first that I am a policeman."
"That's OK. I'll tell it really slow!"

This morning President Monson announced a change to the mission age for young men and young women. The men can now be called at age 18 along with being a HS grad, and the young women age 19.
There have been a number of historic events, throughout my life, in the church. They have all had an impact, and I am certain this one will as well. I immediately felt the Spirit testify to me that this is Heavenly Father's will.
Following General Conference they had a brief news conference. There they shared a little more in detail, about how they would have to expand the Missionary Training Centers, and hire more teachers for the newly called missionaries.
This is an exciting announcement. I think of all those that want to serve right now, yet are waiting for their age to catch up with that desire, and now they don't have to. I think of all those who graduate high school and feel a little lost as they feel in limbo while they wait for the time when they can go on their missions. Then I consider all those who have a desire to have the gospel taught in their countries and need more missionaries. What a blessing this is. How wonderful it will be for those who are patiently waiting for the life-changing missionaries to knock on their door, to share with them what they know to be true.
I am grateful for all the Church revelations that I have experienced in my life. My favorites (that I can think of off the top of my head) are: African-Americans receiving the Priesthood, The Proclamation on the Family, scriptures added to the Doctrine and Covenants, Temples built all around the world, and finally...today's announcement that will allow the young men and young women to go on their missions earlier than planned, if they are worthy, ready and able.

Well, I am still going with these 1860's dresses. What a big job. The skirts have taken me all week, with the petticoats as well. So they just need the hems done now. I was going to machine sew them and cover the seam with the various ribbons and trims that we have both decided on but the seams are quite low to the ground so that plan may change. Although for one night, it really isn't going to matter that the hems weren't hand sewn; who will see it anyway?
And now with two weeks to go (but who is counting) time seems to be ticking very fast so i need to get a wriggle on and get the tops done for both of us. We are using the same pattern for us both but hers will have long sleeves, mine short, hers will have a round neck and mine will come down into a "v". Mine should be very easy, I have made this for me before, but hers needs to be taken in in one spot and then let out in others, so it will be a challenge to get it to fit nicely.
And alas; no photos of the material; i can't get a nice photo that shows the colour without it looking too purple (yuk!). Hopefully when it is made up and we are wearing them, we can get a good one.
So in leau of a photo of my week's work, i thought I would introduce you to the family pet. Her name is Maggie and she is our ten year old Border Collie. She is a lovely dog, we got her when our kids were little. She has never once snapped at them, and the kids did try her patience I am sure when they were little. She has finally learned that she is not to come out past the side gate, so when we were out gardening last week she plonked herself at the open gate and just sat. Funny girl!! She does bark a bit much for our liking but is the sweetest natured animal.

Still sewing

Good luck with the rest of the sewing Karyn. I think you forget how long it takes to make this type of thing if you don't do it often. I don't think machine sewn hems will matter.ReplyDelete
Just love Maggie, what a gorgeous dog. She looks very much like my 'grand dog Oscar'.......LOL. He knows not to come past the kitchen door, and again, beautiful nature. Border Collies are the most clever of dogs, it's been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt!!
Lovely dog Karyn, I look forward to seeing the results of your sewing.ReplyDelete

Karyn, I didn't realise your woofy is a border collie too. She looks remarkably like ours! They are a lovely breed. Have fun with your sewing. LaurelReplyDelete

Girl, 15, makes historic cross-country flight
Sun., July 12, 2009
LOS ANGELES – A 15-year-old Los Angeles girl – who navigated a single-engine Cessna through thunderstorms in Texas and took in breathtaking aerial views of Arizona's sunsets – landed her plane to cheering crowds at Compton Woodley Airport on Saturday and is believed to be the youngest black female pilot to fly solo across country.
Kimberly Anyadike took off from the Compton airport south of downtown Los Angeles 13 days ago with an adult safety pilot and Levi Thornhill, an 87-year-old who served with the Tuskegee Airmen during World War II. They flew to Newport News, Va., making about a dozen stops along the way.
Anyadike learned to fly a plane and helicopter when she was 12 with an after-school program for at-risk youth and economically disadvantaged students.
She loved the feeling of streaking across the sky. She told her mom that it was like a wild ride at a theme park.
