Tipping point Part II Predicts Confederal Melt Down
Both share a belief in true democracy – .
I concur most heartily.
Back to Walsingham's passion:
Because the truth is this: in democratic government, process not only matters, it is central. It matters more than anything else; more than any specific outcome that it might produce. The "true left" should understand that it is not simply that a corrupted process that worked against the right - and the West, and Quebec - this time around; might well work against them the next time. They should understand that faith in a process that is open, fair and consistent - i.e., in a government that is representative and responsible - is the only thing, other than tyranny and coercion, which can hold a society together for any length of time.
This statement is so universally true, anyone assuming to be even a casual student of history should be saying "Amen" to it. The truth of this debauching of parliamentary process will eventually play out in negative ways that will have Canadians scratchuing their heads to understand where the massive backlash to Martin's regime is coming from. Primarily because the truth of this simple fact: (That the Martin government committed unconstitutional breech of parliamentary process) has been largely downplayed by a Canadian media who's fidelity is no longer aligned with unbiasedly informing the public for the better good of Canadian democrcy...so thay can make an informed choice. The modern partisan- aligned media wants the public making an uninformed choice based only on what they wish to tell them....and they will never tell them about the absolute democratic abomination the breach of public trust Martin's defiance of the constitutional requirements of governance represents .
I see a government openly defy constitutional convention in refusing proper legal confidence processes. Then I see this popularly portrayed in the media as some form of brilliant political swordsmanship by Martin. This is a civil abomination. The partisan media is telling Canadians that breaking the very fundamental constitutional rules of governance is fair game. In saying that Harper was "out smarted" by a government which does not obey the rules of parliament, it is in essence validating the concept that cheating, while your opponent refuses to do so, is justified and a "brilliant tactical move".....because winning the game is all that counts......not playing by the rules and winning or losing with honor and principle or with the trust of those who put you in the game. With this immoral contempt for the rules by a neurotic media cheering section, is it any wonder that corruption spreads widely in the ensuing anarchy of a lawless governing regime, like Chretien and Martin's?
More from Walsingham:
"Nothing will dissolve the bonds and restraints that make a democratic society function – presuming, of course, that the society is composed of men and women who retain the capacity to be affronted by insult and injustice"
Nothing indeed! Except the lack of guts and the civil self respect required in the voting populace to create civil outrage when their governors become lawless power mongers. The flip side of this equation/presumption is; are these people being properly informed as to the nature of these debased politics and their constitutionality? Our status quo fourth estate has a large hand in this and will take a large share of the blame for any ill informed/ill advised acceptance of government lawlessness which the more naive populace may hold. We are, by all accounts of the constitutional scholars in Canada and Britain, in a constitutional crisis of governance bestowed by the illegal and unconstitutional actions of the Martin regime. We do not see an illegitimate governemnt which has claimed power through constitutional breach and unconventional and illegal means portrayed as such in the Media......a situation where objective legal academia is at odds with the realities portrayed in our local popular public media. Is this by design?
We know the Martin regime openly celebrate the fact they colluded to breach parliamentary/constitutional process,... now we see this fact either ignored or applauded by Canadian media.....if this is by design, then we have two institutional estates of social order conspirering to run a governmental coup on the Canadian public. Something to think about when you pay your 75 cents for a paper or cable TV news bill to be kept ignorant of fact.
More from my Brother in arms the Principled Monarchist:
"David Warren has used the term "permanent disenfranchisement" in reference to Western Canada, and the term is not too strong. This idea is ridiculed by the Liberals, and discounted by many, if not most, Ontarians and Quebecers – even those of good will, who have simply not given the matter sufficient thought. How, they ask, can people who elect the same number of members to parliament per capita as Ontario and Quebec, be disenfranchised? The answer is that there are, for better or for worse, differences in beliefs and priorities, which follow demographical – and, consequently, geographical - boundaries, which for many years have placed the West outside what the Liberals, and with them many Ontarians and Quebecers, call "the mainstream".
Bravo! For saying what has been ignored in the introverted, narcissist, navel-gazing eastern political nattering cliques for far too long......long enough that the continued "official" denial/ignorance has become a factor in Confederal fracturing. One of the personal eye- opening experiences, proving the truth of this statement, has come through my relocating from Alberta to Ontario.
I now can unequivocally confirm my suspicion of the centralist partisan and media denial of alienation and separate ideological solitudes between east and west, not only exists, but is an establishment axiom among the smug eastern political elite and their camp followers in the popular opinion fabricating industry down here. I have also had somewhat of a catharsis myself in discovering that not all Ontarians and Quebecois are the lock-step dogmatic liberal sleaze voting androids they are widely perceived to be in the west. I have met many responsible and highly principled people here from all political stripes who are diametrically opposed to the devolved fed-lib ideals and methods. They sit in quiet desperation here, not voting or acting (from disgust and apathy) spawned from them living with the overpowering public exposure to liberal dogmatism and apologist propaganda from institutionalized partisan influences. They are as disenfranchised as Westerners....sort of like prisoners in their own home.
The west should appeal to this eastern captive demographic and economically encourage it to immigrate to the west to further concentrate the population of Canadians who still have passion for accountable, small, unobtrusive and manageable government and a society predicated on the right of individualism and free will. They should be encouraged to relocate their capital, productivity and skills to the part of the country that still holds the same ideals as they do. The new sovereign west needs these liberty loving, principled people.
Walsingham continues with this:
"in the hearts of Western Canadians. Unless I miss my mark, from now on, the Liberals, Ontario and the rest of Canada will discover that Western Canada has just checked out, and will begin asserting itself – and be damned what the Liberals, Central Canada or anyone else might think."
Yep! without a doubt Walsingham....the last federalist holdouts among Albertans had largely checked out of status quo Liberal-corrupted federalism after Martin claimed the throne of Canada in a cynical coronation ceremony staged as a leadership "election" by the liberal federal political cartel. They support Harper's crusade to democratise Parliament and make confederal relations more equitable but they no longer hold the starry-eyed naive hope of a star-crossed debutant preying for central Canada's acceptance.....it is a last chance for federalism before we ditch mentality that pervades western thinking as they watch how Harper is treated.
Meanwhile having had my ear to the political ground and involved in grass roots political networking in Alberta for almost a quarter century, I can state the hope for western equality in the federal political agenda has now become widespread disillusionment with the federal system. In Alberta it is widely accepted that federalism is manipulated by successive eastern based political cartels to change or ignore the rules to keep political power in the hands of an eastern based corporate-political elite......westerners need not apply is a clear message the last decade sent and it's widely understood now.
What exists in western Canada ( and particularly Alberta) is a sort of sinister lull before a civl storm. The "lull" is created by the political vacuum created when hope and faith in the federal system evapourated with hope for Liberal party bagman convictions from Gomery. Silent rage smolders just beneath the calm western veneer.
"So, Alberta, Western Canada, be warned: the Liberals are coming for your money. You can bet the ranch on it. The flurry of Liberal shots about "illegal" health care privatization in Alberta represents the opening skirmish: do not mistake the real aim here."
Correct Walsinham. The centralist corporate-political cabal that runs the liberal federal regime KNOWS Alberta and BC's natural resource industries must either be pillaged or destroyed to bring these rebellious anti- Liberal provinces to their economic knees and make them dependent , like the other have not provinces. It was first attempted by the open vulgar pillage of the NEP...but the Western economy was more resiliant and our people more resouceful for this to totally decimate us.......however under the guise of global environmentalism's disreguard for jurisdiction or property rights, a truely fatal blow is in the fed wings now....Kyoto and UN driven, federal sustainable development policies stand to totally divert the greater portion of provincial constitutional jurisdiction and revenues to the centralist crimal cabal that runs Ottawa's confederal policy planning
We westerners hope this is the spark that ignights the prairy fire......but we are also aware that the fed-libs are not stupid enough to screw the west in one vast obvious thrust...too much backlash....it will come in thousands of small seemingly benign provincial consessions to the fedral government by a visionless, lethargic provincial government....which is why the knives are out for Klein and his PCs are on death watch.
"I can only exhort Albertans and all Western Canadians to resist this attack. Resistance will not be difficult if you are resolved. After all, the Liberals have no army to send against you – they have destroyed the one Canada used to have. All they can do is refuse to send you money."
Well, this business of threatening to cut us off of the money we send to Ottawa has only one natural response....that is to revert to the very letter of the constitution in reestablishing proper taxation jurisdictions. Nowhere in the constitution does it require a province to remit the type of monies the feds are pillaging from the provinces now.The constitutional firewall initiative of keeping all moneys collected in Alberta for Alberta needs and constitutional responsibilities will take effect and the feds will come out as the cuckold for angering us into this position and shorting their confederal pillage of Alberta to buy votes in the east. It will now be incumbant upon Ontario to choke up the cash to bribe the havenots.....won't that make the Liberals a popular robin hood cabal in the welfare regions?
"So it will be the West, Quebec, or both; that will now proceed, along different paths, to the destruction of the Liberal order that the latter consider to define Canada. This is hardly revolution, as at least one blogger has accused me of seeking to inspire. It is simply – dare I use the famous pamphleteer's phrase - common sense. And decent Canadians in all provinces and regions will benefit enormously from the changes so wrought."
Well said Walsingham! The notion we get from the greed oriented welfare statists who call talking of separation "treason" or "revolution" are blank in the Canadian constitutional history department. The very nature of a Confederation ( as opposed to a federation) is the fact the confederation is a free association of sovereign states ( or provinces) in a NONPERMANENT agreement to a central governing body ( which undertakes only limited responsibilities that effect the condederation as a whole) in free consent and convention. This means that any confederal partner may dissolve associaiton with the confederation at any time they feel the arrangement is not mutually beneficial and return to their previous sovereign status....free to strike their own trade and assoiation policies with whomever they chose. The supreme court affirmed this and the government reacted with the clarity act, spelling out some dubious requirements to fill for the dissolution of the association. All that is required is a local mandate of the majority by the region wishing to separate and it's a done deal...we let the divorce lawyers argue over the details from that point on....so leaving the confederacy is a bloodless democratic process....very evolved, I think, and certainly not treasonous, but actually constitutional as the supreme court has reluctantly had to confirm.
So you would think that with this reality of such an easy legal option for a province to go it alone, that the fed-libs would have walked a tad more careful than they have on the fingers of the west and Quebecois.....but that's not the way of criminal cartels...they use bluff, bluster, coersion and massive amounts of propaganda to stave off our discovery of the weak link in their armour ( confederal dissolution is legal, and relatively simple).
There are a growing number of westerners waking up to the option of this gaping hole in Federalista armour....just as Quebec did. Continued abuse of the peripheries by the center will certainly make these newly aware vassal states lunge a spear into the gaping hole in their tormentor's armour.
And it can't happen soon enough for me.

Published Date: 10 September 2009
A LAST-gasp equaliser from FC United of Manchester denied a heroic Whitby Town side all three points on Wednesday night.
Blues boss Harry Dunn said despite a strong defensive performance, the draw seemed more like a defeat after FC United buried a 94th minute leveller.
"To be fair to them, they had an awful lot of pressure most of the second half, we defended manfully but couldn't defend the last corner, they scored, we kicked off again and the final whistle blew," said Dunn.
"We went 1-0 up through Jimmy Beadle and both Karl Charlton and Ryan Blott had chances but didn't put them away and a second would have finished the game.
"We were disappointed not to hang on."
In front a crowd of 1,716 at Bury's football league ground Gigg Lane, the Blues went in front on 66 minutes when Beadle's powerful drive was deflected past FC keeper Sam Ashton.
Town looked set to earn a precious away win but were undone when FC United substitute Jerome Wright let fly with a left-footed shot from the left wing that crept inside the near post.
Until then, Whitby were on course for their first win in three games, having defended brilliantly against an onslaught from the highly-rated home team.
Whitby could have even added a second with 20 minutes to go when Charlton broke free in the final third, but stroked a shot just wide of the post.
The referee added on five minutes after a Ben Deegan challenge on Town's Denny Ingram led to a 22-man confrontation in the middle of the park. United made full use of stoppage time, pressing the Whitby goal and finding the breakthrough with Wright's clever finish
FC United 1 Whitby Town 1

Earlier today I posted about the aftermath of the tornados that ravaged through our state earlier this week. One of the accounts that I spoke of was a pregnant mother who attempted to shield her three other children (5, 3 and 15 months) by placing herself over them in the bath tub. Although her efforts were heroic and all she could do, the family was thrown in multiple places as the tornado ripped through their neighborhood, taking their home down to the foundation.
The mother, daughter, and 15 month old son were later found and taken to a nearby hospital. Cole, the 15 month old later succumbed to his injuries and passed. The mother and 5 year old daughter, remain in critical condition. I also spoke of Ryan, the three year old son who was still missing. I found out earlier today that he was found early this morning. Despite hope for a better outcome, he did not make it.
Attached is a link in regards to their story as well as means to help the family out if any of you feel led to do so. There is nothing more heartbreaking than the loss of a child. The hurt seems to be felt more when a face can be put with the one who is no longer with us. Three short years is a brief time to have an impact on this world, yet from the smile on this little boys face, I can tell that he touched many. Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers as they continue to struggle with the events that have befell them this week. The loss of two of their children (and brother) as well as the continual recovery of the mom and sister as well as rebuilding.

Often this involves finding the nearest heating vent, at other times it's crawling under all of our covers and squeezing herself in between Greg and me, and still other times it is clawing her way into my sweater. This photo is evidence that she knows the best spot in a 68 degree house. I know we're both looking forward to 2 weeks from now, when the heat-emitting machine of our dreams is installed in our very own cavernous, covered by a piece of ply wood fireplace. A gas burning fireplace will find its new home there, and Velma will find herself a new hobby.

On the Messenger Server side, we keep track of how many people are logged onto our service at once. We need this type of data for a variety of reasons, such as capacity planning. Recently, we hit a major milestone: more than 30,000,000 users logged in from around the world at the exact same time of 204 million Messenger users. It is amazing to think of all these people connected and using our service. They are making voice calls, sending nudges and doing all sorts of other things. Thirty million people isn't a number that can easily be visualized. To give the number some perspective, this is equivalent to every man, woman and child of Canada logged into and using Messenger.
Thinking about all these people on Messenger at once reminded me of an email that I received. I heard an incredible story about Tara's stepfather's Messenger experience. Tara said that I could share this with all of you:
A bit of context: As many of you now know, the reason I traveled to the east coast last week was to take my daughter to spend time w/ my mother and stepfather because my stepfather (and the only grandfather she knows on my side of the family) is terminally ill and quickly fading. Last September, at age 59, he was diagnosed with a rare form of Lou Gehrig's disease, Bulbar ALS, which first affects the muscles that control the speech, chewing and swallowing before spreading to the rest of the body. Doctors say he has about six months to live.
Today, one year into his diagnosis, he is physically strong and keeps quite busy with projects around their house as well as for friends. Most whom encounter him simply think he's quiet and they do not realize he cannot not speak, neither swallow nor eat. He has been carrying dry-erase whiteboards everywhere with him in order to communicate, and he relies on my mother for most long distance (meaning not in the same room) communication.
One of my goals for the trip last week was to introduce him to Messenger and IMing for the first time in the hopes that he'd try it without me there. This was no small challenge as he reluctantly used a PC at work for company-specific inventory projects. Only recently has he begun to use email, but the lack of instant gratification was frustrating for him. He did not understand that emails, for a myriad of reasons, do not always reach the recipient immediately. So my mother and purchased a laptop for him, and I set up their wireless network so that he would be able sit anywhere he was comfortable (which really blew his mind).
Saturday, we sat down for two hours and I showed him all the basics from adding contacts to his buddy list to connecting to my both of my step-sisters successfully to show him how to initiative a video chat session. When we finished, he seemed excited, sheepish and leery of the innovation before him. He was concerned with his typing speed and his grammar skills in real-time without spell/grammar check. I did my best to show him how I "multi-tasked" (surfing the web or doing email) while IMing with others, and I explained that no one would be sitting there bored waiting for him to type. I hoped that my best attempt at boosting his confidence was working.
Tonight, my mother called me as I was driving home to tell me that he had just spent an hour IMing with my stepsister, Lisa. She said that the two of them are in "IM heaven," and that Lisa said she feels like she can have real conversations with him once more.
I don't know how long he'll be here, but I do know in the short amount of time he has left that he will be a proud Windows Live Messenger user, and he'll be one of our most loyal and grateful users.
Thank you for doing what you do, guys.
After hearing about Tara's stepfather, I forwarded the email to my parents. I was so proud to be working on Messenger.
I bet a lot of you have some pretty great stories about using Messenger. Heart-warming or hilarious, the Messenger team and I would love to hear about it. Please add them to the newsgroup.
If you have a comment/question/concern/discussion topic/rant/rave/other – please head over to the Windows Live Messenger Newsgroup.

#ServingSucks-When You Get It Right• June 3rd, 2013
If last week we found that serving sucks when you lose focus, what happens when you get it right? To continue our series we will be looking at the life of John the Baptist who, unlike Moses and Elijah, never performed a single miracle in his entire life. Even so, Jesus said "Truly, I say to you, among those born of a women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist." We'll learn from John the Baptist that when you get it right: Your identity is clarified, your problems are diminished, your joy is complete and your destiny is secure!
#ServingSucks- What Are You About?• May 28th, 2013
Why does serving suck? Why do so many Christians burn out in ministry? Find out over the next six weeks as we uncover the misconceptions of serving in our new series #ServingSucks. This week we have a word from our senior pastor who will be kicking us off with the topic "What are you about?"by Ps. Daniel Hanafi (IFGF Los Angeles Senior Pastor)
Missions Awareness Day-Go Into All The World• May 20th, 2013
Jesus told his disciples that when the Holy Spirit came upon them they would receive power to be witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. For Missions Awareness Day we want to encourage YOU to be a witness in your Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth! In addition, discover what God has been doing through IFGF and WorldHarvest both locally and around the world to preach the name of Jesus.
No Place Like Home-Gospel Centered Community• May 13th, 2013
We all need community. However, living in community can be difficult. Tensions, differences, and quarrels are inevitable. So how do we find ourselves at home in community? How do we enduringly love those close to us? The answer can only be found in Jesus! It is through His love, His comfort and His spirit that we can live together in unity. The saying goes, "You cannot give what you don't have," but when we live as a Gospel-Centered Community we have more than enough to thrive!
No Place Like Home-Responsibility At Home• May 6th, 2013
In Christ there is the beautiful fullness of both grace and truth. As followers of Christ we should reflect this mysterious quality as well, but how? The answer is sanctification. In the sanctification process we are responsible for making decisions based on God's word and the leading of the Holy Spirit. It's during this process that we learn the value of Boundaries. Like a fence, boundaries not only protect us from harm but they also give us freedom to live life to the fullest and grow in the likeness of Christ. Know the value of boundaries and experience the freedom of responsibility!
No Place Like Home-At Home with the Family• April 29th, 2013
Last week we concluded our topic "At Home-with God," so for the next few weeks we will learn how to be at home-with the family. We will start this topic with the subject of marriage. Sadly, in America over 50% of all marriages end in divorce. Clearly the culture's idea of marriage isn't working. So what does the Bible say about marriage? How can I improve my marriage? If I'm single how do I find the right person? To find the answers to these questions and more tune in for this week's sermon. Don't be another statistic. Discover God's beautiful design for marriage!
No Place Like Home-Transformational Effect• April 22nd, 2013
God calls his followers to live a life that is set apart from the rest of the world. Unfortunately, in Ephesians 5 we see that God's standard is impossible to scale. The key to overcoming this problem is Modification vs. Transformation. Our natural response to God's moral standard is to modify our behavior until we feel acceptable to God. However, true transformation comes from knowing that through Christ we are already accepted! Through Christ our identity changes, from "Sons of disobedience" to "Children of light," empowering us to live the life that we were made for.
No Place Like Home-Belong to God-the Father• April 15th, 2013
This week's sermon will conclude the big question "How can I be at home with God?" The answer lies in the title "Belong to God-The Father." For many of us we see God, not as a father, but as a master who pays us according to our deeds. This leads to a performance based relationship with the focus on the reward rather than the relationship itself. Thankfully, God doesn't want us to see him as merely a master but as a father. This frees us from having to perform and allows us to enjoy an intimate and loving relationship with our creator. This week, don't be just another hired-hand. Belong to God- The Father!
No Place Like Home-At Home With God• April 8th, 2013
What comes to mind when you think of home? Home is a place where you are valued, respected, and loved! No matter how good or bad your day might be, home is a place where you can return and find refuge. This week we learned that God wants us to be at home in our relationship with Him. God wants to be our source of unconditional love and acceptance. So this week, whether you are feeling near or far from God, come home and let him embrace you with his love and forgiveness!

The star of "Love of Siam" and the hit "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", Mario Maurer, has now landed in Philippine grounds!
Many Filipinos know him but there are a few who don't, but those who don't will definitely be familiar with him very soon especially now that he's already in the country and has started to make noise!!!
At 11:30am today, Mario landed in NAIA via Thai Airways. After getting off the plane, he stayed in the vip lounge for a while with his publicist and some people from Penshoppe.
Around 12:30nn he came out and was welcomed by ABS-CBN tv crews and heaps and heaps of fans. He was asked what the purpose of his visit is, he said it was to see his fans and do stuff for Penshoppe… and maybe more? I'm sure many doors will open for him while he's here.
Mario didn't entertain much questions. He walked towards the exit, with his (minimal) entourage, but stopped for a while to wave to his screaming fans. He seemed surprised and very happy to see his Filipino supporters. He definitely got the warm welcome he deserves…

Relatives of Chen Guangcheng, the blind Chinese dissident who escaped house arrest, have told Sky News how they were beaten and harassed by government officials seeking retribution.
Chen Guangcheng spent 19 months under house arrest in Dongshigu, a small village in eastern China where farmers scrape a living growing corn and peanuts.
Sky News journalists were manhandled and prevented from filming
Mr Chen escaped dramatically in April – humiliating government officials and sparking a diplomatic row when he sought protection inside the US embassy in Beijing.
But men, who locals describe as thugs hired by the government, still block the entrance to the village.
Sky News journalists were repeatedly shoved, prevented from filming and then followed for several miles by a car with number plates covered by camouflage-print cloth.
Mr Chen – a self-taught lawyer – earned the ire of the authorities after documenting how local officials intent on enforcing China's one-child policy – forcibly carried out thousands of abortions and surgical sterilisations.
Mr Chen was sentenced to four years in prison for "damaging property" and "blocking traffic" – widely regarded as trumped-up charges aimed at silencing him.
After completing his jail term in 2010, both Mr Chen and his wife were imprisoned in their own home.
Local authorities tacked metal covers to the windows and periodically turned off the electricity, say family members.
After his escape, Mr Chen described how guards subjected both him and his wife to beatings – on one occasion leaving her with a broken rib.
Mr Chen, his wife and two children are now in New York, where he plans to study law. But Mr Chen has repeatedly voiced grave concerns for the safety of his family still in China.
Then they chained my legs together and began to hit me around the head. They removed my own leather belt, looped it together, and then hit me with that as well.
Chen Guangfu, brother of dissident Chen Guangcheng
In an interview conducted outside Dongshigu village, his older brother told Sky News he was tortured by police who were determined to find out how Mr Chen managed to evade the multiple layers of security that surrounded his home.
"They handcuffed me, and tied me to a chair," said Chen Guangfu.
"Then they chained my legs together and began to hit me around the head. They removed my own leather belt, looped it together, and then hit me with that as well."
His chief concern is now for his son, Chen Kegui.
When officials realised Chen Guangcheng was missing, they began forcing their way into homes in the village to look for him.
Chen Guangfu said he was tortured by guards
But Chen Guangfu says the fruitless search soon turned into angry retribution.
Chen Kegui used a knife to defend himself during a beating inflicted with an axe handle, say his family. But police have charged him with attempted murder, and if convicted he could receive the death penalty. He has so far been denied access to his lawyer.
To interview Mr Chen's elderly mother, a Sky News crew entered Dongshigu on foot, under cover of darkness.
Chen Guangcheng is now living in New York with his wife and children
Wang Jinxiang, who is 78, wept as she recounted years of intimidation.
"The men follow men, sometimes three or four at a time," she said.
"They search my clothes, my bag, my pockets. Sometimes even my shoes."
Outside the family home, Mr Chen's brother and mother pointed out the wall – roughly 10 feet high – that the dissident scaled to begin his journey to freedom.
They described how Mr Chen made a dash from his bed – where he had feigned illness for several weeks – as one of his guards left his post for a few seconds to fetch some water.
It was an audacious escape that eventually saw Mr Chen make his way to safety.

Hubby was playing on the floor with the kids, rough housing and when they were done, I heard him tell them, "Ok, time for circle time, where we share our feelings..."
Hubby asked Little Guy where he was born.
His answer?
Another question, What makes you happy?
TJ: When Daddy stays home and we go to the Park
Little Guy: Crabs, and mommy making dinner because she is the best FRY COOK ever

This concept of normalcy; I've often wondered if it exists. At university everybody seems to eschew it in favour of finding his or her own path, but I think overall everybody is just a little off. I'm not here to get into a philosophical debate (trust me, I'd lose). Sometimes I just think that even in this little micro-universe I'm not exactly "normal," whatever that means. Who's ever heard of environmentalist theatre major whose obsession with Springsteen led to a love of 1970s muscle cars? What kind of theatre student loves the stereotypical guy thing.
This whole post is a little more personal than I like to get on this blog. It's also incredibly off topic, so forgive me.
I think one of the great things about university is you can explore different interests and find a niche. You're exposed to ideas that weren't necessarily part of your experience growing up. The pool of people is just that much larger. However, I've found a certain type of person which is great, but there's still that hometown girl in me. The girl who remembers struggling to scrape by in an old used car. There's a part of me that will never quite fit in in a world that's dominated by the upper middle class (which is a shame). Most people from my hometown are married with children now. They've got solid jobs and work hard. I think all day.
I'm glad I chose the path I did, but I think I'll always identify a little with the people left in my hometown. They're the people who shaped me. They're my family and my neighbours. I never really fit in there either and I wouldn't go back, but their influence is profound. Sometimes I miss that life. Running downstairs and hopping into my friend's beat up 80s camaro and driving, walking for an hour in the August heat just to get to the coffee shop with board games,dancing down at the local hall, trekking into the city for an outdoor concert that we saved for months to buy tickets too, those are the memories I'll cherish. Those high school summers defined me. I grew apart from those friends and I miss them. We're different people now, but a part of me will stay lost in those summers, the same part of me that doesn't quite fit into the university mold.

Every once in a while, I like to document proof that I do more than sit on my couch with my cats and watch Netflix. I do things, sometimes. Last weekend, I had the most basic white-girl Saturday. I went pumpkin picking. I also co-navigated through a corn maze. I have a horrible sense of direction, so that was basically me going "Let's go this way" and pointing to the direction we just came from. It was fun none the less. I wore my favorite TMNT tee-shirt and dragged my boyfriend along in true basic-girl style. I even included an Instagram of me in a corn-maze so you know it happened. We went with my first "real" LA friend that I didn't meet through school or work, so bonus adult points for that.
This is us posing for pictures on massive pumpkins. —>
This is a picture of Gus, aforementioned Netflix cat, with my spoils for the day. This year is going to be the year that I finally do a really cool pumpkin carving. I can feel it. I am still researching it, but I feel like it will be television related. Shocking, I know. I also still need to get Gus and Margot (second cat) a halloween costume. Ideas on both things are welcome.
If you're looking for a good pumpkin patch / corn maze / farm stand / bacon-wrapped hot dog, then check out Tapia Bros. Farms. For all other basic white girl needs, Target and Starbucks should have you covered.

This is half based on fantasy half who we are linked with. Not sure if we need all of them but if we got them think we could have a very good squad. So.
Grujic (loan)
Ings (potentially or loan, genuinely feel for him as think he'd strive under Klopp but don't know if his body can take it)
Ojo (loan)
In terms of GK. personally think sell mignolet and ward, than buy begovic. but can't see that happening.
But would leave us with a very strong squad that can adapt to different teams and has room for injuries as well as provides chances to promote youth. Could go on for ages about what having these players would allow us to do strategically and the different ways we can set the team up or how who can replace who but simply. paredes offers something different we don't have in our midfield, pereira is just an upgrade at fullback, nastacic tbh not seen much but need better cb, Brandt offers genuine competition for mane, and Jimenez to me is a striker/ wf we don't have. From watching his highlight reminds me a bit of Diego Costa. is quick, but not rapid. Strong but not a powerhouse, but looks a clever player and have a feeling would be a hidden gem.
12 Mar 2017 10:36:58
GK = Butland.
12 Mar 2017 12:06:52
Brandt and Pereira are the only two top players from that list, if we want to challenge our rivals we need better than Raul Jimenez, who's scored 8 goals this season, 12 last and 5 the year before in a poor league.
Why not aim for Lacazette or Dries Mertens etc or shall we just accept that we are Liverpool and we don't aim for the best anymore.
12 Mar 2017 13:18:39
Im not too sure if i would want another young keeper Ron. A keeper with experience for me. Not ancient mind but one that has been around the block a few times.
12 Mar 2017 13:24:53
Butland would cost a lot and has only been doing it for one season, i'd rather begovic or handanovic, but id be very happy with butland all the same.
12 Mar 2017 13:44:03
I'd rather wait until the end of next season for Butland, he's not played any football this season, he may end up costing more but I'd rather we wait to be sure he can get back to the level he was showing before than end up with an injury prone goal keeper and have to buy another next summer anyway.
12 Mar 2017 14:53:37
He will be in the top 3 keepers in the world if he stays injury free.
I may be mistaken, but I thought we would have to wait i until the end of the season for all our signings, not just Butland.
12 Mar 2017 19:04:13
Just to add to your point ron he seems like a nice grounded lad as well.

Death of a fitbit
I wonder if this is what killed it:
Probably not - but I do like to think that my fitbit got fed up with walking up and down Michigan Avenue in Chicago and decided to take a well-deserved nap. My wallet certainly got tired of it (oh, how I've missed you, amply stocked Sephora!).
The replacement (fitbit, not wallet) is coming in the mail. In the meantime, I'm in withdrawal. I had to track my gym time this morning in MFP, for crying outloud. I hadn't realized just how much I'd come to enjoy the positive reinforcement (and immediacy) of the fitbit, and how every day I'd work my tush off to get those 10,000 steps in.
Bootcamp is over - the wife and I did not sign back up for July because we're both going to be out of town next week (her for a family vacation, me for work) and then she's going to be gone the last week of the month as well. It didn't seem like an effective use of money to pay for 3 weeks of camp and miss two of them. So we'll go back in August, and for now, I'm getting up before the sun rises to do my time on the treadmill. One day, I won't feel like I'm going to fall off that thing.
In other news, I am down -2.5 pounds this week. I don't want to sound like an ungrateful asshole (since when, right?) but my supposed calorie deficit from 6/26 to 7/2 was -12,868 last week (and that's with my fitbit going cold on me at lunch on Saturday). Where's the extra pound? Oh, TOM. I hate you. I feel like a greasy, bloated mess. And I just want some salt and vinegar potato chips. I won't have them, but ohgodiwantthem.
And yesterday my wife says to me, "Now that you're losing weight, you'll probably have your period on the regular." Not the right words, lady.
Also, the woman who shares a wall with me at work is having a birthday today. Ask me how I know. Go on, ask. Oh, fine, I'll tell you - the constantly repeating MIDI versions of "Happy Birthday" emanating from her desk. Who sends e-cards anymore? What is this, 2006?

I'm back in the Stone Ages here but what is a Fitbit???ReplyDelete
I was going to guess that your coworker is the one who is constantly LOUD all of the time!!! I thought (also) e-cards were something of the past... in the late 1990s though... I know I haven't received one since then. (ha ha ha)Replies
A fitbit is an "activity tracker." Really, it's like a pedometer - you wear it in your pocket or on your bra and it counts the number of steps you take, calories burned and activity level each day. It syncs with myfitnesspal to update your calories burned and net calories.Delete
She is so loud. So. Very. Loud. Louder than any human who is not currently being murdered has a right to be.
Thanks for the info!!! Have a happy Tuesday!ReplyDelete
Haha, my grandparents send me an e-card every year instead of actually talking to me on my birthday. Works out pretty well! lol IReplyDelete
delete the e-mail, they feel good about themselves... win-win. ;)
Have fun on your trip!

Last week my boyfriend asked me if I would like to spend a weekend in Amsterdam and of course I said YES! So he booked the flights (business - very kind of him :) ) and we went last weekend. It is such a lovely city!
I think I could live there. If you like special, cute little shops, I recommend going to the so called "Nine little Streets". The shops are very interesting and the visual merchandising of most of them is fantastic!
I was so overwhelmed that I somehow forgot to buy anything (okay... I bought a leather jacket, shoes and a cashmere pullover...).

A little late... Christmas Presents
I guess it's really late... But better late than never. The presents I got from my boyfriend were all packed in a Selfridges box (and separately wrapped). So I was really excited - I bet you can't really find anything at Selfridges I would not want to have!
First I unwrapped a white diary from Moleskine. It got a tradition that I get one for Christmas (and this one is a special edition for Selfridges). The blue little booklet is a calendar (also Moleskine). But as I have got a big one from Ted Baker as well, I will use it as a little notebook when my other one will be filled with lots of ideas.
Then there was another little box wrapped with very cute glitter paper. And it turned out that a white iphone 4 s was in it. I have to say... I think I might be the only person in this world being shocked to get an iphone. I'm absolutely not interested in electronics (I don't even watch TV. The only thing I would need to stay alive is a hair dryer, my laptop and a fridge) and I love presents that will have a personal value to me in 10 years - two years ago I got a Mont Blanc pen, which is the best present I ever got in my whole life!
I had a blackberry before which I thought was the best phone I ever owned (b. i. - before iphone)... Somehow I'm still struggling with it, as it does not always do what I want (I just guess my fingers are way to fat for the tiny symbols on the touch screen) and I just did not want to get into that iphone flow (if you have one, you will have to get a new one when the next comes out). "If you don't have the iphone... You don't have the app store..." (apple advert). Well. If you don't want an iphone, then you don't want an iphone.
But when I saw the very proud and happy face of my boyfriend whilst opening the present (still hoping a handbag would jump out – maybe a folded one) I just thought the biggest gift on Christmas was not the iphone. But the best boyfriend in this world :)

what are your 'go to' beauty saviours? I'm rubbish with skincare, and my regime usually consists of a facewipe, but I've been using the Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser and instant skin tonic since Xmas and it is AMAZING! I'm lucky that I have quite olive skin. It's not dark, but tans easily and doesn't break out. It Is quite greasy though, and I can have quite large pores, but since I've been using the cleanser it seems to be much more under control.
Im considering starting monthly facials soon. Any recommendations?
And finally, anyone found their holy grail foundation yet? I'm currently using Georgio Armani luminous silk and it is like magic when it goes on, but doesn't quite have the staying power I need with my oily skin.

Hat- Gift from Bri
Cardigan- Thrifted
Dress- Old Navy
Belt- Target
Bag- H&M
Shoes- Target
Sunnies: Some Dollar Store in Corvallis, OR
Sunnies: Some Dollar Store in Corvallis, OR
I found this dress at Old Navy last week. It was on clearance, in my size, and really pretty. I was pretty convinced that it would look terrible on me, but after trying it on, I really liked it! It's much shorter than I usually go for, but I actually really liked the length after a while. I threw a pair of shorts on under to be safe (especially since I tend to always go on climbing-over-things adventures when I happen to wear short skirts...). In the end I felt like this came out a little late 60's/early 70's, which as longtime readers will know I have a huge soft spot for. Polished, yet a little bit Woodstock-y. I'm okay with that.
If you're wondering about the location, I have a post on that going up Friday! (at least it should be up Friday. I have a gig! (it pays! and not just in food! real money!) Thursday night, and have no idea what time I will be home that night!) It's a really eat, somewhat hidden California treasure, and oh how I wanted to live there so badly!! But more on that later, I am super excited to share it with you!

The Hands of Others
The Arabs and the Holocaust: The Arab-Israeli War of Narratives
by Gilbert Achcar
Metropolitan, 386 pp., $30
How much of the blame for the Holocaust can be placed upon the Arabs? And why is there so much Holocaust denial in the Arab world today? According to Gilbert Achcar, only a small minority of Arabs were committed Nazi sympathizers, while hardly any actively abetted the Holocaust. 'The Arabs' as a people, he argues, were not co-conspirators of the Nazis and therefore should not have had to pay the price in Palestine for the genocide perpetrated against the Jews in Europe. That "price," the loss of their homeland in 1948, is in turn the source of Arab Holocaust denial: "The further that Israel goes in its political and practical denial of the nakba, and the longer Israel continues to exacerbate its consequences, the more Palestinians and Arabs will be tempted to riposte by denying the Holocaust."
Readers made uneasy by these ideas may be even more ill disposed to give them a hearing when they learn the identity of the author of The Arabs and the Holocaust. Gilbert Achcar is a Lebanese-born socialist, a harsh critic of American foreign policy and of Israel, and the co-author (with Noam Chomsky) of a 2007 volume entitled Perilous Power: The Middle East and U.S. Foreign Policy. Dialogues on Terror, Democracy, War, and Justice. Nevertheless, his newest book is an important work, even—perhaps especially—for those who will not agree with it. Its exploration of Arab sensibilities is thoughtful and illuminating, its condemnation of Holocaust denial humane and principled. Yet no less principled is the author's steadfast anti-Zionism. The book, although meant to overcome what the subtitle calls "the Arab-Israeli war of narratives," in fact demonstrates the chasm that divides the leftist Arab intelligentsia from its Israeli counterpart.
Achcar begins his book with a comprehensive overview of the different ideological camps in the Arab world during the era of the Holocaust. He endeavors to show that Arabs responded to Nazism in many different ways, with few apart from radical religious figures like the notorious Palestinian leader Muhammad Amin al-Husseini demonstrating deep anti-Semitism. There was a solidly anti-Nazi liberal intelligentsia, which during the 1930s filled the Arabic press in Egypt and Palestine with criticism of Hitler's regime on ethical and religious grounds, but also expressed fears that Nazi persecution of the Jews would serve to strengthen the Zionist enterprise. Marxist Arab intellectuals became sworn enemies of Hitler, at least after his June 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union. Some secular Arab nationalists sympathized with Germany because it was the enemy of the British Empire, which stood between them and their countries' full independence. But only a few thousand Muslims from the entire Middle East and Africa served in Axis forces, while nine thousand Palestinian Arabs served in the British Army, and hundreds of thousands of Maghrebis fought for the Free French. Iraqi Prime Minister Rashid Ali al-Gaylani was, Achcar argues, acting as a nationalist and anti-imperialist, not a Nazi collaborator, when, after being forced from office in January 1941, he called on Axis military support for a short-lived coup d'état.

A farewell to the leaves
I love how the leaves look like rose petals. (If I had a better camera, I would have made the big leaf clearer)
Getting rusty.
Barely hanging on
Surprisingly, one of my favorites is this pic of the brown leaves. I never realized what a warm, rich shade of brown newly dead leaves are. Newly dead? Ha, oxymoron.
Now, almost all the leaves are gone, and most of the colors around are flat gray and muted brown. Gee....winter is ugly without any snow. But, I'm sure there is plenty of beauty I haven't noticed.

Ha ha! Great minds think alike!! I did the EXACT same thing with Ethan! We went for our walk and I brought along the camera to snag pics of all the leaves changing color. Not quite to the extent that you did, though. You got some great shots! I love the first red leaf one - all red. Beautiful. We actually got SNOW up here today. My primary kids were freaking out. I am finding more beauty in the winter. Even if I do need to get FOUR new tires on the Explorer because driving in this weather scares the crud out of me and they're pretty worn out.

These are SO STUNNING! You captured the beauty really well. And your garage apartment looks so good! I think it's so true that we don't need nearly as much as everyone tells us we do (space-wise, etc).

Snow might be pretty but I am not enjoying it right now. I'm stuck in the driveway, which means I'm stuck in my house.

Steady rain moved through Western Massachusetts on Wednesday morning, prompting flash flood warnings for the entire region until 6 p.m. Rain is expected to continue into the early afternoon, then tapering off from west to east by the end of the day.
Forecasts call for a widespread one to two inches of rainfall. Heavier pockets of rain and embedded thunderstorms are also anticipated in a few locations. This will cause flooding in urban and poor drainage areas, as well as dangerous ponding of water on roadways. Small streams may also rise up over their banks.
While Springfield dealt with a moderate but persistent rain, Eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island were the hardest hit areas early Wednesday morning. The National Weather Service has already reported more than five inches of rain in Montville, CT. The town of East Lyme, CT, had two reports of about 4-and-a-half inches of rain, and various other locations reporting around two inches of rain as of 10:30 a.m.
Rainfall totals have stayed closer to a half-inch in the Springfield area, according to automated reports from Westover AFB, Barnes Municipal Airport, and Bradley International Airport. However, more rain is expected to continue into the afternoon, with steady downpours still possible in Springfield.
The latest forecast can be found on the Weather tab.

I have 8 clocks in my home. This doesn't include watches, or the clocks built into the TV, computer, laptop or cell phones. They're all sensible clocks with numbers on them (Roman or regular) and they all show the exact time.
Some people set their clocks 10 minutes or so ahead to fool themselves into getting places on time.
Guest: Oh no it's 6:00 o'clock, we'd better go if we're going to get there on time.
Clock Owner: Don't worry, that clock is 10 minutes fast. We've got plenty of time.
See? It doesn't work. I also don't get the concept of the snooze button on the alarm. I always wake up before the alarm anyway, but even if I didn't why would I want to be woken up 10 minutes before I have to get up, if I'm not going to get up then anyway?
I like to know what the exact time it is all the time. Some of my clocks are electric and some are battery operated in case of power failures. (Oh, sorry… power outages. Failure would imply something had gone wrong. Outage, on the other hand, just sounds like something cute and quirky like a belly-button)
Anyway, we had a power outage last night, so I had to reset all the electric clocks. I'm not sure what the battery back-up is for because it never keeps the time right.
I hate being late. I can honestly say I have never been late for anything except when it was due to circumstances beyond my control (e.g.: flight delays, someone else is driving, etc.)
I'm usually early for everything (including work) and figure I've spent a good portion of my life just waiting for things to start or for other people to show up.
Some people are always late. They don't understand why. They have an odd concept of the passage of time. Here's an example:
I'm getting a ride with a friend to a day conference. We have to be there for 9:30. It takes approximately 20 minutes to drive there. I get to her house at 8:45 because I know she's always late and I'm hoping I can help hurry her along. [Please note that just because the subject of this example is a female it does not mean that males are exempt from being similarly time-challenged]
She's still in her housecoat slurping coffee.
She: I'm almost ready, don't worry. I just have to get dressed.
She disappears for a while into her bedroom and emerges at 9:00 fully clothed.
She: There! All ready.
Me: Great! Lets' go.
She: We still have 10 minutes, there's no point in getting there too early.
Me: Getting twitchy. Okaaaaaay. But you're all ready, right?
She: YES! I swear!
At 9:10 I point out it's time to get going. She reluctantly gets up. Rinses her cup. Goes to brush her teeth. Notices her blouse has a stain. Changes her blouse. Searches for her shoes. Remembers that she's having them re-soled and has forgotten to pick them up at the shoe place.
She: You don't mind if we make a quick stop to pick up my shoes, do you? It's on the way.
Me: No. (What can I say? I'm only the passenger)
She grabs her purse. Its' the wrong purse. She roots around her closet for the right purse. Switches all the stuff from purse #1 to purse#2. Can't find keys. We both go through the entire house twice searching for keys. I find them in the back door.
The shoe place is in a mall. We park. We get out and walk through the mall. She remembers she needs toothpaste and stops to buy some at the drug store. She also checks to see if the new Cosmo is in.
At the shoe place she has a nice chat with the shoe man. They seem to have a lot of acquaintances in common.
We're back on the road. We pull into the Tim Horton's drive-thru.
She: I really need another coffee. You don't mind stopping, do you?
Just before we get to the turn-off for the conference centre there's a bit of a traffic snarl. We have to sit for a few minutes while things clear up.
She: (irritated) What the hell is going on up there? (Straining to see ahead of the traffic). What time is it?
Me: (having given up on punctuality long ago) 10:35
She: Oh, my god! Have we been sitting here that long?
And, I honestly believe that she honestly believes that because it was 9:10 when we decided to leave and because it takes 20 minutes to get to our destination, the only reason we didn't get to our destination at 9:30 was because of this unexpected traffic jam.

World's First Inflatable Concert Hall
Sculptor Anish Kapoor and architect Arata Isozaki have teamed up to design and build the world's first large-scale inflatable concert hall in Tohoku, Japan.

The concert hall opens to the public on October 14th.
Travelling Sun
Norwegian artists Lisa Pacini and Christine Istad decided to work on a collaborative project to bring the sun to the places and the people that saw so little of it.

Alright, I am putting my head down again and actually finishing my shopping. When I started this series, I thought, "Wow Aime, you are doing really good. You will have your shopping finished in no time." Well, now it is well into October and I still have several people and items that I am needing to look for still.
So today's finds are for my brother's and brother-in-law's girlfriends. I love both of these girls dearly and we get along very well but shopping for them can be quite the experience sometimes. So I turned to my trusty Etsy search function and started searching for keywords of things I thought they would like.
For my brother's girlfriend, I searched for travel. She went to college in Canada (we are from Hawaii) and is looking for work abroad now that she has graduated. Perfect! There are so many fun and functional travel items on Etsy! One of the first ones I found was this passport cover by GracieDesigns. Cute, functional, and perfectly priced for a growing family like I am shopping for! =) And with how reasonably priced her items are, I can still get her something else! I am definitely loving this necklace as a possible option. And everyone back home wants to hear from you when you travel and these cards were so beautiful I had to mention them!
For my brother-in-law's girlfriend, I am a little less certain as to a specific direction but there is always an abundance of beautiful things on Etsy! For example, this cheery little pillow will look adorable just as an addition to a bed or as an accent anywhere! (and it comes in different colors so I can find out what colors her room are.) Another sweet item on Etsy (from a good friend!) is this set of cards featuring many different sayings. Now I just have to decide which one I like best. =) A fellow Island creator makes these beautiful wrap bracelets that I have been wanting myself but I think I may end up getting this particular one as a gift.
And I think that is a very good start. =)
But! I have an announcement to make. Drumroll! Sense and Sensibility Designs will be at the Anaheim Senior Citizens Club Holiday Boutique! It will be held at the Downtown Community Center at 250 E. Center Street, Anaheim, on October 15 & 16 from 9 - 3 on both days. If you are able to come and join us, let me know that you heard about it here on my blog and you will get 15% off of your purchase. I truly hope to see you there and I will remind you over the next few days. =) There will be new items and a greater variety of selection than you usually find on my Etsy.
Have a beautiful day everyone!

love, lessons and laughter. simply put, our first year of married life has been nothing but pure bliss. 🙂
days before our anniversary, we had our original plan pushed-back to a later date so i had to scramble and come up with another way of celebrating. for sentimental reasons, i decided that we just go back to where we got married, cool and cozy tagaytay.
the idea was just to have a relaxing afternoon and then cap the day off with a romantic dinner. given the limited time to prepare, this is what i came up with: a massage treatment at nurture spa followed by fine dining at antonio's 🙂, both establishments we got to know early on during our wedding preps.
nurture spa welcomes their guests in a rustic reception area. cozy, country chairs and sofas plus ethnic tables and stuff. herein we filled up our guest information cards while sipping thru some tea (ang cool ng tea pot & tea cups nila, ha 🙂). afterwards, down we went past through lush gardens…
…into a relaxing waiting area. 🙂
the ambiance was a perfect setup for the massage treatment to follow. ang sarap ng hangin. ang music, nakaka-relax.
and the flowers and decors were simply beautiful. 🙂
after a while, we were ushered in a room for our massage treatment. 🙂
an hour and a half later, we left relaxed and refreshed (although nahirapan ako sa ibang parts ng massage kasi nakikiliti ako 😆).
off we went to antonio's, a hidden restaurant in tagaytay. actually, isa ito sa mga venues na ni-visit namin when we were venue hunting and we were blown away by the beauty of it. kaso, aside from it being way beyond our budget 😀, the restaurant cannot accommodate our planned breakfast reception. we vowed to come back some other time to experience the reputed antonio's fine dining experience… and what other day to do that than on our anniversary? 😉
ambiance alone makes antonio's a winner already. it's a common thing that guests be seen going around and snapping photos while awaiting their orders. obviously, we did the same. 😀
of the many photo ops around, we couldn't resist having our photos taken at this colorful mural.
after all the picture-taking, it was eating time! 🙂
after a sumptuous dinnner, we left but not before taking a few more snapshots.
we bid farewell to antonio's (vowing to be back again… 😉) and went straight home. here we ended the day by opening our wedding time capsule.
time capsule? yah, isa sa mga gimiks namin sa kasal namin. the idea was we'll have a boxful of letters, stationery and what-nots and it will be kept unopened until our first wedding anniversary. we hand-picked selected guests whom we liked to participate… unfortunately only a few complied. 😦
nevertheless, we had fun opening and reading through the few we got. so many thanks to anna for the warm note; vena & neriz for the creative packaging of sports headlines; red and roju for the digitally created trivia. 🙂 much, much appreciated.
and so that's how anniversary went. not bad for a plan B, right? 🙂
« whoa!
one happy couple

This is just a basic overview, because I am not an expert, but my point in saying this is that anyone can do this, and benefit from doing this type of thing.
Afterall, we don't have to go running to the doctor all the time. If you do that enough, you will end up worse than what you started sometimes. OF COURSE, there is a time and place for everything, and modern medicine has it's place.
Out of a place of frugality is how I came to discover some of these things I believe in. The idea that there may be something I could do for myself that did not require money is a great motivator. The world is so busy, and there is a bombardment of advertising for solutions to all of life's problems. Just watch television for an hour, cued into the ads, and you will see what I mean. Take this, do this, eat this, don't eat that.
One of the things that has become second nature to me is paying attention to my SELF. Not obsessing, just noticing what was going on. I am not the picture of health, I am not into yoga, but that is not required. Start where you are, incorporate the healthy lifestyles that you choose, make your own decisions.
Energy needs to flow through your body. Those chakras need to be unblocked, opened, freely spinning in order for good health, happiness, joyfulness, and all the great things about living to be present in your life. At least that is what I've read. This idea of energy flowing makes me think of pipes, and I'm not sure if it is really like this, but this is how I visualize it. The pipes are all connected, going up and down your spine, out to all your organs, your limbs, connecting down to the earth and up and out to the sky and universe. The chakras in this set up are Seven Huge Colorful Connectors that run from the base of your spine to the top of your head. At any point in this pipe system, anything can enter in, anything can exit or leak out. What affects one spot in this system, affects the whole system. The idea is to keep this whole system intact as best you can, unclogged, without too many leaks, without too many external intrusions...so that we remain WHOLE. Maybe you can think of another analogy, or visualize it a different way, and I would love to hear about it. I am always learning. Maybe do a search on google "creative visualizations of chakras" or something similar. Start learning about this!
Anything can interfere with this system, our energy system, whether it is something you ate or drank, a fight you witnessed, something horrible on tv, past events in your life that were abusive... As well, anything can positively affect this system, our energy system, whether it is a beautiful sunset, a loving interaction with someone in your life, a good phone conversation, a past event in your life that was beautiful, or caring. You get the idea, right? We don't live in bubbles, and our environment and the people around us have a great impact on our SELVES.
When you start thinking this way, in terms of you being an individual with an energy system all of your own, the next intuitive step is to pay attention to it. Even if you have a horrible past, just start now to pay attention to your own system. There may be a lot that is wrong with it, but if you don't pay attention, things will not ever get better. Get back to yourSELF. In paying attention, there is honor, you are honoring yourself. It's free to do this. It won't harm you to do this, I promise.
There are also online quizzes you can do to find out which chakras are clogged or out of balance, or perhaps hyperactive. I tend to shy away from doing these, as I assume ALL of my chakras are out of whack from 55 years of living and not paying attention.
So how do you do this? How do you pay attention to your chakras, your energy system? Through out the day, just visualize your energy system in whatever creative form you decide. Mine is colorful pipes. No matter what is happening during your day, every chance you get, try to visualize or imagine what is going on inside with you. Take five seconds or more to note how you feel, what sensations you have in your body, how your mood is. Is there a pain somewhere, or itchy/scratchy/uncomfortable feeling somewhere? Pay attention to that for just a moment, to it's location, it's intensity, it's quality. Then send that spot some love. I mean, visualize that your system is running perfectly fine. For me, I visualize my colorful pipes, from red at the base of my spine, moving to orange at the spot below my navel, yellow at the solar plexus above the navel, green mid chest, blue at throat, purple at my brow, to clear at the top of my head. Typing that out, took longer than the whole visualization does. Just imagine, or put the thought in your mind, that there are no problems within, all the energy is flowing through you, from toe to head, you're like a perfect rainbow. Visualize it, intend for it to be so, and it is.
|Chakra Earrings
Later, you can do some research for yourself. What chakra is associated with that particular area of the body? Ask questions, and learn. One of the things that I have learned is that chakras respond to color, whether you're wearing the color, or seeing the color, or visualizing the color. Chakras also respond to sound, and there are specific frequencies that are supposed to affect (open, balance, unclog) each chakra. (visit youtube and search on "chakra sounds" and find some you like.) Certain smells can have an impact on your chakras, and essential oils are especially tuned into this. Decide one modality that you are drawn to, or something that is easy to incorporate into your life. Just decide to do something to help your self.
I have a board on pinterest about using color for healing, and I would love for you to connect with me there. My online shop is all about wearing your healing, using color and stones and symbols for healing chakra imbalances, but I am just one of many healing jewelry-makers. Please try to incorporate something intentionally to help your energy flow! Even if it is intentionally picking out a specific color shirt for the day!
|Specific Chakra Earrings
My next blog article will be about my own short breathing meditation that I use to help with chakra balancing, with particular emphasis on the root chakra. I hope you are able to glean some information from this article, and I would love some feedback and comments! Please stay connected!
Thanks and Best Wishes

Stina Stjern @ Pete's Candy Store
I played another solo gig yesterday. It took place at Pete's Candy Store here in Brooklyn. I love that place! The stage is like a tiny theater. The atmosphere is really spacial and I felt really comfortable playing in front of some good friends. I'm still getting used to playing alone, though. I find it very challenging in a good way. From now on it can only get better, right!

If it has been defined as "nice" to people they like, they're for it. If it has been defined as "mean" to people they like, they're against it -- and that is about as deep as it gets. Unfortunately, that lack of adult perspective isn't so cute in political leaders who are making life and death decisions that may still have ramifications fifty years from now. ... There is no dream more eternal in the liberal heart than completely remaking human nature. If we could all just care about the person across the world as much as we do our families, we could live in a utopia! Unfortunately, in practice, human nature tends to be quite a bit more difficult to subvert than in the liberal imagination. That's why, despite more than 5,000 years of human civilization, very little progress has been made in this area – but, oh, the Left is still trying. One day, if they just spend enough money on the right government programs, all the wars will end and everyone will be living in identical million dollar mansions while we spend our days humming tunes from the latest Woodstock Tribute Album."
