Although today is Day One of India, there was a perfect transition from my realities in Toronto to my extended vacation by spending 10 days in my home away from home. England was perfect as it always is, just as I left.
I had a perfect dose of Amanda, who though I hadnt spoken to her in months it took mere minutes to swing back into the comfort of our old conversations and routines. Hanging at the flat, amazing conversations, great food, lots of wine and CARDS!!! I did a little bit of touristy things just so I could squeeze in some people watching in Camden and then an afternoon in Central London walking around before a hot dinner date & then theatre with Amanda to see (again, but probably better than the first time) THE WOMAN IN BLACK, in a small indie type theatre in Covent Garden.
I made it down to Brighton briefly but still managed to get in lots of trouble for Valentine's Day having a nice meal out, bar hopping and then eventually a club on the seafront with Will & company, which lasted way into the daylight hours, as usual when he is about! Even though it was brief my love affair with Brighton continues, some things will never change. And I think I might've actually gotten Garry, at a (very!) weak moment, to consider eventually moving there with me :)
I also got a night out with Natasha, and a small glimpse into the world she has created for herself in London. I loved seeing all the old faces and the level of familiarity with London after all these years.
England was an easy transition; a perfect segway from my day to day life in Toronto, to the what lies ahead. Now back to India....

In order to enjoy this story even more, I just assume that, instead of freeing him, the prison just forced him to wait until he lost enough weight to squeeze out like when Winnie the Pooh got stuck in Rabbit's house.
Waiting for spring could expose the prison to liability.
"I knew I should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque."
there apears to be a (little) something peeking out there, right by the wall hole... i'm not sure, but looks like maybe his whole belly couldn't fit thru the wall, but that 'little guy' managed to escape....?
ummm, oouuuuch!??!?!
1. At 224 lbs (plus or minus seven), they're calling him overweight?
2. They give us his name and his weight, but they pixelate his face?
Speaking of idiots, what kind of idiot tries to escape from prison naked?
Must be kinda pear-shaped. Prison life'll do that to ya.
Flip the picture sideways and it looks like he's coming out of the ground, ala Raising Arizona.
Hey Warden,
Leave those cons alone,
All in all,
They're just another brick in the wall.

Bowie 2001 A Space Oddity
British music artist Fritz Von Runte has crafted a symbiotic fusion of of eerie David Bowie remixes with the timeless visual poetry of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. The result is a hypnotic, surreal mixpiece experience: Bowie 2001 A Space Oddity.
Von Runte has raided Bowie's classic back catalogue, remixing tracks such as Ziggy Stardust, Heroes, Changes, Space Oddity and The Man Who Sold The World, to name a few, in a cosmic cavalcade of transcendent tunes and visuals. "Bowie, 2001, as well as NASA and the whole space age culture have always been a huge influence on me," he has said.
We have a compilation sample clip below. The whole movie, or standalone soundtrack, can be downloaded or purchased on the site http://www.bowie2001.com/

I painted all the embellishments with gesso and left it to dry.
I then sprayed the gessoed embellishments with the rusty orange spray, when this was dry I randomly painted areas with Adirondack Lemonade and Watermelon dabbers over the rosette and the leaves. Distress the edge of the canvas with the Pitch Black Adirondack dabber and used the Tim Holtz Eifel Tower stamp with Archival Espresso ink. I made the sentiment with Hampton Art mini alphabet stamps.

"Last year the WLM Seymour Place helped 249 homeless people get off the streets and into accommodation"
Date posted: Friday 08 Jun 2018
The West London Mission is part of the Methodist Church and run a wide range of social and community projects for people affected by homelessness, poverty and trauma.
One of the 'big characters' from WLM's history is Rev Donald Soper who was Superintendent Minister of WLM for 30 years. Soper was an inspirational and energetic Methodist. Even when he was over 90 years old, he still preached every week at Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park. He established many of the social projects which WLM runs today.
He was also no stranger to controversy. He was an ardent pacifist and was banned from broadcasting by the BBC during the Second World War. He later played a significant role in the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) and in the 1970s was Chairman of the homelessness campaigning group, Shelter. His activism led him to taking a place in the House of Lord's in the 1960s.
Whenever I speak anywhere about WLM, many older people remember Soper well. People remember his public speaking, his social concern – and his fondness for an argument!
In many ways, I think the church leader who is most like Donald Soper today is the Rev. Steve Chalke.
Like Soper, Steve Chalke oversees a major operation in the charity Oasis which runs a wide range of community services, including 49 schools and employs over 5000 staff. He has also remained a local church leader, running the Oasis Church in Waterloo.
Like Soper, Chalke has been a significant spokesperson on issues of inclusion and social justice. He is a former UN Adviser on Human Trafficking and I would say has been the most significant advocate for Christian social engagement in the UK in the last 20 years.
And like Soper, Chalke has generated controversy. His views, especially around gay relationships, the theology of inclusion and how we should read the Bible, have created huge debate within the Church.
Steve is also a highly engaging speaker so I am really pleased to say that he is speaking at WLM's Annual Meeting on Monday 2nd July 2018. The evening will include an update on WLM's work over the past year and Steve's talk is titled 'Being human, being Christian: making a difference in the world'.
The evening will start with refreshments at Hinde Street Methodist Church (near Bond Street) at 6.30pm. Presentations and talk will commence at 7.00pm and finish by 8.30pm.
The event is free and if you want to book a place then please go to our Eventbrite page

Several of the early London gas companies made ammonia salts from their ammoniacal liquor. Sales of these salts seem to have been steady, although it is difficult to work out how much was made and sold. Who bought them? Is it possible to find out anything about the customers?
Some of the gas companies recorded some information about who bought ammonia salts from them, but they do not do so very consistently. Both Phoenix and Chartered companies recorded some details, but as with other such sales the surviving records probably only highlight large and/or unusual customers. The surviving records of the Imperial Gas Company show almost nothing about sales of salts. This is particularly unfortunate because appropriate records with details of a specialist ammonia products plant at Millwall would have been very valuable.
The gas companies made three ammonia salts: sal ammoniac, sulphate of ammonia and carbonate of ammonia. These are the terms that will be used for them in the remainder of this text - they are the names most commonly used in the early gas company minute books.
The following notes on who bought what ammonia salt does not pretend to be based on an exhaustive study of the gas minute books - they are not always well written or indexed and many volumes are not available for consultation at the Greater London Record Office. They should, however, provide a rough guide to what is there.
Prices quoted for these salts are often so vague as to be meaningless. For example, 'carbonate will be £52 in casks and £56 in jars' is not specific. It sometimes appears that the prices quoted are special ones and the price paid by ordinary customers is never given.
Transactions with large purchasers who dealt with Chartered sometimes involved barter deals for sulphuric or hydrochloric acid. Thus, 'Mr. Malades has 100 carboys of acid muriatic and will barter for sulphate of ammonia at 25/6 or muriate of ammonia at 25/‑‑cwt'. In such deals the actual price was not given. Offers of this nature were made to other companies. For instance 'Mr. Elliott offered to take sulphur made by the company at 14/-..... and supply the company with brown vitriol at 2/8' but Phoenix Company were "not inclined to accept the offer".

Platitudes and clichés exist generally because there is some truth in them. It is the very fact that they are oft repeated that make them clichés in the first place. Indeed some people do find that their struggles in life have made them stronger people, better able to cope with future travails. The crucial concept here though is that some people find this to be the case, not all.
My own struggles have had the opposite effect on me. Many years ago I was someone who had fairly low self esteem but other than that I was a fairly together person. I held down a responsible and stressful job, I had a good circle of friends and I generally felt that if something bad came along it would sort itself out in the end if I just kept on plugging my way through. For the most part this approach to life worked well for me and as life threw me hurdles I cleared them or knocked them down but kept on running, never doubting that in the end everything would be alright.
Twenty years ago my husband and I made the decision to start a family, having been married for several years. Nothing happened at first and, though upset, I assumed that eventually I would fall pregnant. Nearly two years later I was delighted to find out I was expecting our first child. I was overjoyed and scared and amazed and a multitude of other emotions I cannot even begin to describe. I had a nagging fear throughout my pregnancy that something would go wrong; but, despite having symptoms of pre-eclampsia and needing an emergency caesarean section, my beautiful baby boy was born strong and healthy. That moment when I first saw him was one of pure, unadulterated joy. Nothing prepared me for the love I felt for him. I thought I loved him from the moment I knew he was inside me, but that instant when I saw his face, his eyes so wide open in wonder that his wee forehead was wrinkled, I felt the most overwhelming rush of love and joy that I thought I would actually burst.
Just seven short weeks later my son died of meningicoccal septicaemia. My world fell apart. Nothing could make this better. There were no words of comfort that anyone could say that would make the world start turning again. In a single day my safe, comfortable certainty that things will always work out in the end was shattered for ever. Now I knew. Some things are so bad that nothing can ever make everything work out alright. There is no positive spin anyone can put on the death of a much wanted, totally adored child. It didn't kill me but it didn't make me stronger.
I, of course, had to keep on living and no, that other much used cliché that 'time heals' isn't true either. Time will never heal the wound that losing my son has left on my soul*, all it has done is give me time to learn how to make a place for my loss in my mind, learn how to live with it and not let it overwhelm me.
The death of my son is not the cause of my depression but it did set the scene in a way by removing that cornerstone to my life that things will always work out in the end. As the years passed I have had many other major events, both good and bad. I went on to have three more children, my marriage crumbled, my father died after surviving a triple bypass and several interventions to try and stem the cancer that finally claimed him, my youngest son was diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder and his challenging behaviour has been a constant in our family life for the past ten years, and through much of this I struggled to complete an Open University degree, something I'm very proud of but cost me a lot mentally. None of this killed me but it didn't make me stronger.
The person I am today is one who knows that life doesn't always work out alright in the end. I am someone who knows that, no matter how hard you work or how hard you try, you can't always achieve your dreams. I cannot cope with conflict and try to avoid it at all costs, I struggle to deal with tradespeople and I have a phobia about using the telephone for all but the simplest of calls. I am very hard on myself and I find myself wanting in many areas, I feel worthless, useless, unattractive and intrinsically unlovable, despite the evidence to the contrary that those closest to me do, indeed love me. The pain in my life has not killed me but it has killed what little self-belief I had and taken away the stability on which my previous life was built.
So platitudes and clichés apart, what can you say to someone who is experiencing traumatic pain? I wouldn't claim to have all the answers and certainly would not wish to speak for anyone other than myself but, for me, acknowledging that there is nothing to say to make it better is far better than trying to find the right words when there are none. Being there for the person suffering says far more than words and showing you care by your actions beats well-meaning platitudes any day.
* I am irreligious but could not think of a more descriptive word for the part of me that religion calls the soul.

Snow in Brooklyn Snow (Credit: Lavonda Shaw)
HICKSVILLE, N.Y. (AP) — Police said a man who was stranded during a major winter storm was robbed of his wallet by men who initially appeared to be trying to help him.
The man got stuck in the snow around 1 a.m. Monday while driving on Plainview Road in Hicksville. Police said two men approached and offered to help push the car.
When they weren't able to move it, one of the men put his hand under his jacket and demanded the driver's wallet.
The two men then fled with the wallet.

Stunt Driver Jumps Bonds DBS into Italian Lake
Posted by Anthony CarboneApril 22, 2008 at 11:29 pm
FOLLOW Instagram + Facebook + Twitter
Mr Dunn, who is an Aston Martin engineer and not a stuntman, suffered only minor injuries and was able to kick his way out of the car and swim to the surface when the £134,000 Aston Martin DBS when it skidded off the road and plunged into the icy waters at high speed.
Today Mr Dunn, who is from Leamington Spa, was in hospital at Arco near Trento in northern Italy and said, "I'm doing very well considering what happened but I was very, very lucky.
"I do feel lucky to be alive because I was knocked out by the force of the impact and when I came to the car was at the bottom of the lake – I have been told it was 150ft down.
"The whole thing was a bit James Bond like – I just kicked out of the car and swam to the surface – my lungs felt as if they were going to explode and my chest still hurts now.
"Apart from a few bruises I am fine and I hope to be out of hospital within a day or so. It's actually very embarrassing and I'd like to try and forget the whole thing."
The accident happened in the early hours of the morning at Torbole on the edge of picturesque Lake Garda where filming for the new Bond film Quantum of Solace is taking place.
Mr Dunn added: "I have been out here for a month filming and working with cars. I'm an engineer with Aston Martin and not a stuntman – although I feel like one now.
"I have had a lot of support from the production team and I'm very grateful to them although as I said I'd like to put it behind me.
"I have been with Aston Martin for five years and I have never bent one until now. I can't believe I'm alive. I was very lucky.
"All I remember was that the road was wet and I wasn't going that fast but the next thing I knew I came off and I ended up in the water.
"I can't have been going that fast as another engineer was following me in a Fiat Punto. The next thing I remember is swimming up to the surface and the rescue people being there. How I managed to get out I will never know."
The car – one of five on the set – had been due to be used for a scene when Bond, aka Daniel Craig, roars away from a fireball crash – and a truck ends up in the water.
Quantum of Solace's opening sequence follows on five minutes after the end of Craig's first Bond film, the gritty Casino Royal.
A rescue crane and a team of divers was called into salvage the car but it is a complete write off with its roof caved in and windows all smashed.
Today it was under a tarpaulin at a wrecker's yard and was expected to be moved later this week to Aston Martin's Italian office at Padova.

text: I don't believe in regretting - one should try to move on. My mum was good at that. She was deeply in love with my father, and he died when I was nine. She remarried, and her second husband died, too. I saw the grieving process she went through. My mother had this way of moving on. It was a fine trait.

It was rainy day so everyone else on the tour cancelled it. That is how I ended up with a private tour! Which is nice that the company didn't cancel on me and still had the tour even with one person. The guide was good (spent a bit of time answering his phone in the beginning of the tour, but then stopped that), knowledgeable, answered all my questions, easy going, helped with picking a place to eat after we were done. Would recommend these guys for your SLC tour.

Future South is a partnership of the Hampshire Chamber, the universities of Portsmouth and Southampton, IBM, Southern Water, Scottish and Southern Energy, Bouygues and 12 Local Authorities
There is a growing "low carbon economy" in Hampshire with many strengths emerging in research & development, environmental technologies, energy, waste and construction.
Future South aims to capitalise on these strengths to promote further development of the green economy, and with it, economic growth and jobs. We have set up two subsidiaries to maximise the opportunities from these strengths:
Greentech South – the Technology and Innovation Cluster – the UK's first accredited cleantech cluster with over 100 business members working together to win funds and create innovative low carbon products and solutions. (www.greentechsouth.com)
Energise Solent – the team pulling together the renewable energy projects in the Solent area to reduce our reliance on energy bought in from outside Hampshire (which currently stands at 98%).
£3 million has been won from the Regional Growth Fund to support SMEs in Hampshire wishing to develop new low carbon products and services by utilising the local world class research facilities. We are now bidding for a further £5 million and will have news in the Spring of 2017 on how much has been won for business in the area.
Our third project is the creation of the Hampshire Community Bank which will start trading later in 2017 (subject to licence) to add support for the Green Economy.

52 Ancestors In 52 Weeks, 2018; week 6 prompt: Favorite Name.
Favorite name, favorite name… This one stumps me. I don't have a favorite name. (I found choosing one for my own child tortuous; there are so many.) Currently, my ears particularly like very old-fashioned names and, I love virtuous Quaker female names, but again, no favorite.
When I was in high school I remember going through a period of wishing my forename was more original than same-old same-old "Susan" though, and, "Bridget" was high on the list of my rather-haves; plus, raised Catholic, when I first began researching my Norwegian ancestry and saw "Saint" before some of my way-back great-grands, I was awed & delighted, so,…
I decided to honor with this week's blog post, the patron saint of Sweden, my 18th Great-Grandmother Saint Bridget of Sweden (circa 1303–July 23, 1373). From Catholic.org2:
"Saint Birgitta was the daughter of Uppland's Lagman3, Birger Petersson and his wife, Ingeborg, who was a member of the same clan as the reigning family. Birgitta's family was pious; her father went to confession every Friday and made long and arduous pilgrimages as far away as the Holy Land.2
"Birgitta's mother died, leaving Birgitta, ten years old, Katharine, nine and a newborn baby boy, Israel. The children were sent to their maternal aunt for further education and care. It seems that as a young child, Birgitta had a dream-vision of The Man of Sorrows. This dream was very vivid. Birgitta asked Him who had done that to Him. His answer: 'All those who despise my love.' The memory of this dream never left Birgitta and may have even left an indelible mark on her sub-conscious. As was usual during the Middle Ages, Birgitta was married when she was 13 years old to a young man, Ulf Gudmarsson with whom she had eight children, four daughters and four sons, all of them survived infancy, and that was very rare at that time.2
"When the King of Sweden, Magnus Eriksson married Blanche of Namur, he asked his kinswoman, Birgitta to come and be Lady-in Waiting and to teach the young queen the language and customs of her new country. After her years of service at Court, Birgitta and Ulf made the long pilgrimage to Santiago di Compostela. On the return journey Ulf became dangerously ill in Arras. Birgitta feared for his death and sat all night by his bed praying, and then a bishop appeared to her, promised that Ulf would recover and 'God had great things for her to do.' He told her that he was Denis, Patron of France. Ulf recovered and was able to continue his work as Lagman in the province of Närke until early in the year 1344, when he was very ill so Birgitta took him to the monks at Alvastra where he died and was buried. Birgitta remained in a little house near the abbey and she spent along hours in prayer by Ulf's grave. She said that she 'loved him like my own body.' She arranged her affairs among her children and various charities and prayed for guidance. She was 41 years old and in the abbey at Alvastra God called her 'be My Bride and My canal'. He gave her the task of founding new religious order, mainly for women. He said that the other orders had fallen into decay and this new order would be a vineyard whose wine would revivify the Church. He showed her how her abbey church was to be built, gave directions concerning the clothing and prayers of the nuns, 60 in all, who needed priests as chaplains, 13 priests, 4 deacons and 8 lay brothers. These two communities were to be ruled by an abbess, who was to represent the Blessed Virgin Mary together with the Apostles in the Upper Room in Jerusalem.
"King Magnus Eriksson donated a little palace and much land to the new monastery, but almost as soon she had begun altering the palace and organising the work, Christ appeared to her and asked her to go to Rome and wait there until she got the pope to return from France to Rome. She was to be there during the Holy Year 1350. Birgitta left Sweden at the end of 1349 never to return. For the rest of her life she saw visions concerning the reform of the Church, messages to kings and popes and many other persons in high places, directing them to work for the Church. It may be noted that Birgitta never wrote in the first person. She always said the she carried a message from a very High Lord. Although she had longed to become a nun, she never even saw the monastery in Vadstena. In fact, nothing she set out to do was ever realised. She never had the pope return to Rome permanently, she never managed to make peace between France and England, she never saw any nun in the habit that Christ had shown her, and she never returned to Sweden but died, worn out old lady far from home in July 1373. She can be called the Patroness of Failures. In this she was like her Lord. He was also classed as failure as He hung on the Cross. Birgitta was a successful failure as she was canonized in 1391. Birgitta was the only women ever to found a religious Order, Ordo Sanctissimi Salvatoris. It was never a double order but an order primarily for women with permanent chaplains, ruled by an abbess. The brothers had as their head, not a prior but a Confessor General who was responsible for the spiritual business of both convents.
"The order spread swiftly throughout Europe with monasteries from Scandinavia right through Europe down to Italy. In modern times is has expanded into five different, juridically independant branches; Spain 1629, Rome 1911, U.S.A. 1970, Mexico at the change of the century. None of these foundations have brothers (except U.S.A. which has one male convent). The last Birgittine father died in Altomünster 1863. She is the patroness of Sweden. Her feast day is July 23."2
In first & second grades I attended a Catholic elementary school. We were rewarded with holy cards (picture old baseball cards but with a saint's image on one side and her or his bio on the other) &, medalions for particularly good work or behavior. I kept mine in an old cigar box, lost after my mother's death when I was yet in grade school. Below, an image of a similar dime-sized medallion of St. Bridget of Sweden:

On Friday we received a letter from the City informing us that we had been approved for a low-interest loan for to complete energy-efficiency/building performance projects. Last year we had a home energy audit which detailed issues and prioritized solutions in terms of feasibility and payback. Of course, it can cost quite a bit to address these issues so we sat on the report. Then in November we were invited by the City to participate in a pilot program where the City provides low interest loans to homeowners so they can complete these projects. Ideally, you pay back the loan each month with money you save on your utility bill. I can guarantee we won't have our gas bill reduced $89/month (our monthly loan payment) but I still think its a great idea as we are not just saving money every month but will hopefully be making our home significantly more comfortable.
We received two bids for work. The first contractor came at it with the approach of a remodeling project than a retrofitting or weatherization project. I don't doubt that gutting the house and reconstructing it would be the ideal strategy if money were no object but Tanya and I decided it wasn't in our best interest to spend $40,000 to $80,000 on our basement. Especially since some houses on our block aren't worth 80K. The second contractor gave us a bid of $7000 to seal an area in the basement, replace/upgrade 3 basement windows, replace/upgrade a hot water heater, replace/upgrade a bath fan, and insulate portions of the attic. If all goes well, we should be eligible for about $1000 from the state energy efficiency foundation.
The ultimate goal, is to get the upstairs bedrooms and the basement warmer. And to replace the hot water heater before it totally gives out. Then we can move on to installing draintiles in the basement and reclaiming one floor of livable space! But first I need to sign some forms and get some guys over here fixing this stuff!

Helsinki Airport has unveiled its new-look baggage hall, which has been designed to reflect Finnish nature and give the airport a real sense of place. The Exit 2B baggage lobby has been redesigned by internationally acclaimed interior architect and sculptor Stefan Lindfors, who has worked alongside Finavia, the operator of Helsinki Airport, on a number of other projects in recent years.
In the new baggage and arrivals hall, glass-encased showcases portraying Finnish plants and wildlife have been placed in between the baggage claim belts and live footage of Finnish nature is projected on one of the walls. The ceiling has been covered with fabric representing wings and the walls are decorated with a circuit board pattern, which was hand-drawn by Lindfors and pays homage to Finnish IT expertise.
Lindfors explained: "Many airports are very similar in style, whether you are in the Nordic countries, Central Europe or the United States. I want all of my work to really stand out from the others. I want passengers arriving in the lobby to experience something unique and to feel that they have just arrived in Finland."
Ville Haapasaari, Director of Helsinki Airport, added: "Helsinki Airport is Finland's business card and for many passengers the first contact with Finland. That is why it is important that we stand out from other airports in a surprising way. A memorable arrival lobby will leave a positive impression on a passenger and that might make the passenger travel via Helsinki Airport also the next time."
To support this effort for Helsinki Airport to represent the destination it serves, passengers can also visit a free art gallery and art exhibitions at the airport.

|Rosie:- Top: AX Paris, Trousers: H&M, Shoes: Valentino, Necklace: Vintage Chanel, Bag: JustFab, Photo: Anna Sandul
I first saw this ensemble back in March, over on Rosie's blog, At Fashion Forte, falling in lust at first sight with her knockout new take on sports luxe - instant bookmark material! I deliberated a while over investing in her silken snake print lovelies, but ended up plumping for this paisley pair from Boohoo instead - at £10, it seemed rude not to! Then... today... what should I see gazing at me from behind the glass of an anonymous shop window but this roll-necked side-split slice of serendipitous scrumptiousness... £8? Don't mind if I do... (Now, I've had a little hunt around and couldn't dig up an online stockist for you, but Rosie's cowl-neck AX Paris version is still available for a really-quite-reasonable £18). I am going to have sooo much fun experimenting with this (A midi top? My mind is boggling), but, for starters, an homage to my inspiration was in order...
Top: V London, Trousers: Boohoo, Shoes: Matalan

I was made aware of this term (vaporware) last night when I was having a discussion with my husband about software that is sold as a product but is not built out.
If this is happening in the business world, will it come to education?
All the talk and some major responses to the proposed cuts in the budget for education leads me to wonder what costs education will incur should it follow a true business model in the future. The nudge to move towards a business model is stronger than ever in some areas.

Lisa Rinna goes under the knife yet again
Her lips have been the subject of much speculation and mockery over the years, and last year actress Lisa Rinna admitted that she'd made an impulsive decision back in the '80s to have her upper lip injected with silicone.  As time went on, the silicone scarred her lip tissue and gave her mouth a bumpy and uneven texture that became a magnet of ridicule. Rinna says that she liked the original look of her plumped-up lip, and she thinks it was partially responsible for her fame, but now enough is enough and she wants a normal mouth again.  She underwent plastic surgery in August to have the bumps smoothed out on her lip, and is apparently happy with the results… though from photos it's difficult to tell exactly what was done.  I think she basically looks the same as she did before.

This Momma's Clothes Budget & Finds: April 2016/ Corina
I'm so excited to share my finds for April!!
This month I had two major goals: 1) update my athletic wear and 2) plan a spring/summer maternity capsule wardrobe.
For the first goal, I found the perfect athletic tee at Costco that is elastic enough and long enough to use throughout the whole pregnancy! Easy peasy. And cheap! I decided that is all I needed for now (I'd pair them with leggings) and to wait until fall/winter to invest in pants.
As for the second goal, it came together on a Sunday afternoon. I spent about an hour one lazy Sunday afternoon planning out my maternity capsule wardrobe. (This is my first ever capsule! You can read about my process and what I found here.) I had most of the items for the capsule already in my wardrobe, but that left a few items on my shopping list.
That same Sunday afternoon, thanks to dear hubby watching our toddler, I had a couple of hours to do some shopping! I found several items from my list at Burlington Coat Factory so I decided to check them off even if it meant going over my budget a bit. (This belly is growing fast so there's no sense in waiting to buy the clothes. They are a better investment the longer I can put them to use during this pregnancy.) I was pleased to find I only went over my budget by a couple dollars!
My Budget
Here's this month's budget with an explanation of where the funds came from:
My Budget: $68.82 (regular $40 in April + $28.82 carried over from last month)
What I spent: $71.24 (that bites just $2.42 from next month's budget)

Winter is on the way and East Dunbartonshire Council is urging residents to start thinking about how to stay safe while out and about.
Before setting off - check weather forecasts, tell someone where you are going and make sure your mobile phone is fully charged. For those who drive, you should prepare your vehicle. Ideally, get your car a winter service if not: check the anti-freeze and oil levels, check lights are working, make sure your car has plenty of windscreen wash, to the right winter concentration and wiper blades are working.
Check tyre treads – they may save your life in poor conditions, get your brakes checked and make sure you have a warm blanket, emergency food/drink, torch, shovel, de-icer and scraper, tow rope and mobile phone.
Council Leader Rhondda Geekie, Convenor of Policy and Resources said: "Whether you travel by car, bike, public transport or on foot, you need to be prepared for bad weather. It is only five years since people were stranded all over Scotland by heavy snow and plummeting temperatures – some even spent the night in their cars.
"We obviously hope we don't have such a severe winter this year, but we just don't know, so we should take time to think about the journeys we make."
Councillor Geekie added: "Packing these basic but essential items could literally save your life if you get caught out by bad weather. As a Council we are doing our bit – we have over 400 grit bins throughout East Dunbartonshire and residents are welcome to collect their own supplies from the Broomhill depot. Please bring your own shovel and container.
"You can also follow our daily forecast on our website, which will also say if we plan to send out our gritters that night. All of this information will help you plan your journeys better and stay safe on the roads."
The 'Ready for Winter' campaign is a national initiative led by the Scottish Government, supported locally by partner organisations across Scotland. Its aim is to ensure that Scotland is better prepared for severe or prolonged winter weather this year, by providing information and advice for individuals, businesses and communities.

Epson PowerLite multimedia projector
Epson PowerLite multimedia projector :
Multimedia projectors are becoming a necessity for the classroom, enabling educators to take learning to the next level with vibrant colorful displays, a range of multimedia content and interactive collaboration technologies to better engage students. Epson, the number-one selling brand of front projectors worldwide, announced its latest product designed for the education market - the Epson PowerLite 83c ($899 estimated street price), delivering up to 2200 lumens of brightness, a seven-watt speaker, a built-in closed captioning decoder, wired LAN connectivity for easy monitoring and control, and energy-efficient lamp technology for more added cost savings.
Epson multimedia projector
"Epson is committed to exceeding the needs of educators and develops projectors that reflect our number-one position in the industry," said Daniel Oey, group product manager, Epson America, Inc. "The improved functionality of the Epson PowerLite 83c multimedia projector is a direct result of feedback received from education customers about previous products, which helped design a projector that presents engaging content in classrooms in a cost efficient package." The Epson PowerLite 83c multimedia projector features a built-in closed captioning decoder for hearing impaired students. This offers schools a low-cost solution for meeting part of their ADA508 requirements without having to purchase and install external decoders. In addition, the PowerLite 83c multimedia projector offers RJ-45 wired LAN connectivity for remote monitoring via the school's IT network, regardless of the physical location of the projector. Finally, a seven-watt speaker provides powerful sound to fill an entire classroom and help capture the attention of students.
Epson PowerLite 83c multimedia projector
Understanding that educators must adhere to strict budget requirements, Epson offers a unique sales and support initiative that is available specifically for schools - the Brighter Futures program. Brighter Futures is designed to help educators select and implement the best products for their classrooms, while making the most of their budgets. Across Epson's full line of projectors, the program offers special pricing and Epson's limited warranty extended to three years of coverage, dedicated education account managers and toll-free technical support. The Epson PowerLite 83c multimedia projector also features Epson's E-TORL lamp technology which achieves a more efficient lumens (brightness) per watt and a relatively overall lower power consumption than many competitive models. Based upon the projector's efficient wattage and relatively low power consumption, schools may be able to save energy costs compared to competitive models. This technology also allows the projector's lamp to last up to 4,000 hours (as compared with 3,000 hours in the predecessor model) for added cost savings.
Epson PowerLite 83c multimedia projector - Features
The Epson PowerLite 83c multimedia projector offers a wealth of features, making it a reliable asset that is easy for educators and campus technicians to use and manage. Some of these features include:
• Light and Bright - At only 6.4 pounds, the projector can easily be moved from classroom to classroom while offering up to 2200 lumens of output for use in even well-lit rooms
• 3LCD Technology - Using the latest generation of High Aperture Epson 3LCD technology, the projector's three-chip engine delivers natural color and more intense, sharper images; it is a solid-state optical engine that works without a moving color wheel, creating exact color reproduction, detailed video and data images that are crisp and rainbow-free with full time color
• Easy Operation - The projector features five-second Instant On and Epson Instant Off to avoid delays when starting and finishing lectures
• Versatile Presentation Modes - The projector has seven special color modes, including blackboard mode, for presenting in a variety of environments; in addition, 1.2 manual zoom and +/-30 degree automatic keystone correction contribute to greater setup flexibility
• Remote Network Control - Projectors can be controlled and powered down for the night remotely via the network saving time and money since no personal contact is required
• New EMP Monitor - Allows users to monitor projectors' status via the network and keep track of temperature conditions and regular maintenance issues, such as air flow monitoring and lamp replacement schedules
• Sleep Timer - This feature can be set for one-to-30 minutes to turn off the projector to save energy and money when no input is being sent to the projector
PowerLite 83c multimedia projector - Availability & Support
The Epson PowerLite 83c multimedia projector is available through national retailers, pro audio/visual dealers, mail order, and PC resellers in April 2007. Epson's PowerLite projectors come with a two-year limited warranty (three years for Brighter Futures customers) that includes three elite technical support services - two-year Epson PrivateLine availability, two-year Road Service Program and two-year International Warranty. Through PrivateLine, projector owners can directly access an expedited support telephone line by using a phone card that is included with the product.

The Story
Ideal for Green Tea beginners and those who prefer milder tastes. This tea is the same as the variety popular in China. Large leaf tea is slightly brittle due to its wiry shape.
The middle leaf shoots are processed because they contain less caffeine but give a dark, olive-green infusion. The cup, however, gives a shimmery strong green-yellow tone and a soft and mild taste with a sweet note.
Order your refill (100-200-300gr) & receive it in a bag that fits in your original storage can.

After a few weeks of thought and research, I zeroed on a home theater system and bought and installed it a week back. It is a Yamaha NS-P436 6.1 Channel Speaker system and a Yamaha HTR 5840 6.1 Home theater receiver. Just before a month, my knowledge of home theater system was very limited and now I know a little. I got this desire to buy one when I experienced the home theater sound at my friends place. He had the same Yamaha NS-P436 but a HTR 5740 receiver, slightly older model. Well, as usual i set out to search and read reviews on the internet for a good home theater system. With a constrained budget, I thought it would be wise for me to simply buy a Home theatre in a Box. There were a lot of 5.1 home theater systems but I wanted a 6.1. So the options were very limited in the Box side. The ones that were there were too big, which means i can't carry it to India. Onkyo had a fine 7.1 model for $400 but it was too heavy, the whole set was 115 pounds. Even their simpler 6.1 model was heavy and the subwoofer was as big as a suitcase. I didn't even consider Bose for the price (it started from $999!). So I decided to build my home theater by buying speakers and receivers separately. The final choice I made was what I started with, my friends configuration ! I didn't get a HTR 5740 so I got the next level model HTR 5840. The speakers are neatly designed and compact enough to be carried back to India. The whole unit weighs a total of 45 pounds (about 20 Kg). It costed me a total of $450, and bought them off the internet.
Speakers : 2 Front Speakers – 100 W each. 1 Center main speaker – 100 W. 3 Surround rear speakers 100W each and a Powered Sub woofer – 100 W. Total output – 700 W.
Receiver – Has it all – Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic , Pro Logic II, NEO DTS … all of it! Plus several sound settings. The unit needs a little manual reading, but once you know the basics it is really easy to use ( atleast for all your basic needs). For a detailed spec, please check the Yamaha website.
The verdict, I have only one word – Fantastic. I probably haven't experienced much home theatre before but this is really superb. I watched two great tamil movies over the weekend – Chandramukhi and Virumaandi. Chandramukhi rocked ! Superstar's stunt effects were all over my house. The first intro scene was sensational and gave me a feeling of watching it in a theatre in Chennai (Devi theatre). The sound effects were awesome. The climax song – Ra Ra was amazing. While I was watching, I really got a doubt if I was disturbing my neighbour. So during one of the songs in the middle of the movie, I walked upstairs to the apartment above mine and spoke to them politely if I was disturbing them with my movie. Guess what! they heard nothing. I have to give full credits to my apartment design folks, the acoustics is just phenomenal which enabled a superb setting of the system. I also watched a movie on my Cable and since the Set top box had a digital audio out, I was able to watch the movie "The Bourne supremacy" in Dolby Digital. The sound was simply pristine and stunning.
So if you are out there searching for a Home theater with a good sound experience and easy on your pocket and want to carry it back to India, this would be a really good choice.
Caution: Prolonged exposure to high powered sound effects will cause damage to your hearing. I always keep it between -20 to -30 db, it is good enough and the overall sound experience simply depends on the acoustics of your room rather than the speaker volume.

Piety is part of daily life in Chile, as natural as the towering Andes mountains that cut the country off from the world along its eastern flank. The miners' reaction to their escape from the depths of the earth this week at Copiapó was no staged affair but merely what one would expect from tough Chilean workers doing a dangerous job in a dilapidated set of tunnels.
Augusto Pinochet himself, at least in his early years, showed the piety he inherited from his devout mother Avelina, who was unlettered but had a ferociously strong will. When he damaged his knee in a road accident at six she vowed she would wear clothes coloured brown – the colour of the Virgin of Mount Carmel, patroness of Chile – for 15 years if he recovered and that he would do the same for 10 years, reduced to two years if he went into the army. And so it came about.
In 1936 the young officer himself fixed an ex-voto plaque to the wall of a church in his native Valparaíso in honour of the Virgin that bore the words.
Thank you, mother mine
Succour me always,
Ensign A Pinochet
There was no indication that either the adolescent Pinochet or his mother were insincere or in bad faith in their devotions though in later years he defied the church and quietly blitzed it where he could when churchmen, as they often did, took issue with his policies as a dictator.
Indeed in the first years of his tyranny his most fervent and dangerous critic was Chile's most outstanding Catholic of the last century Cardinal Raúl Silva Henríquez, the pious, humbly born but extremely effective archbishop of Santiago. Silva did a great deal for Pinochet's victims, setting up a multifaith campaigns for human rights and promoting soup kitchens for those who had little to eat.
At the same time, sadly, the Catholic church in Chile has suffered from senior clerics, including those appointed by the Vatican as its representatives in Chile. Chief among them was Cardinal Angelo Sodano, an Italian who was appointed papal nuncio for a decade in 1978, five years after Pinochet's bloody coup.
Seeking to smooth the feathers of the tender-minded dictator, Sodano saw that the great Silva was packed off by Rome as soon as he reached retiring age and had the much more dubious cardinal, Francisco Javier Errázuriz Ossa, in his place. Back in Rome where he rose to be a cardinal and the secretary of state – the prime minister of the Vatican – under pope John Paul II, Sodano had the gall to appeal to the Blair government and the archbishop of Canterbury in November 1998 to release Pinochet from confinement at Virginia Water and allow him to return to Chile, thus letting him to escape justice before the Spanish courts.
As in many other Latin American countries, the Jesuits are strong in Chile and their magazine, Mensaje, has under Pinochet and his successors been a beacon of decency in the highly unequal society that the dictator set up in 1973 and which his successor and fellow-rightwinger President Sebastián Piñera, a billionaire, has strengthened.
It will come as no surprise to those who have had experience of the deep vein of arrogant smugness that sometime affects those at the top of Chilean society that Piñera's chaplain, Alfredo Cooper, declared during the rejoicings at Copiapó this week that Chile was gripped by spiritual fervour in the aftermath of the miners' rescue and he urged Britain to throw off its "perverse unbelief" and turn to God.
That sounds more than a little rich from a man who presumably agrees with his master Piñera that it has been acceptable for mine owners such as those who own the San José mine to ignore safety regulations and put the lives of the 33 miners in the gravest jeopardy in the first place.
If that is part of Chile's "spiritual fervour", count me out.

29 Dec
The following appeal is being sent by British expats in Indonesia to the football teams they support. I'm addressing this appeal to my fellow Charlton fans. The club has had a very joyful December. Indonesia hasn't.
A nation in mourning
Dark clouds are casting a long shadow over Indonesia's capital city Jakarta at the moment. And it's not because of the rainy season or that the national side under the management of Peter Withe lost 2-1 at home to Malaysia in the semi finals of the Tiger Cup on Tuesday night (28/12). No, it's much worse than that. Much, much worse. Players of both sides were wearing black armbands that night for a very good reason indeed.
What has swung the mood from the usual year-end festive joy to one of utter despondency for Indonesians is the growing realization that many thousands of their countryfolk have perished in the recent tsunami that has caused death and destruction in coastal communities across Asia.
Aceh, a very rugged and remote region at the northernmost tip of the huge island of Sumatra, has been battered beyond belief. Although Jakarta is completely unaffected, harrowing news footage has been broadcast into the capital city's homes. And TV broadcasters in Indonesia are not like the BBC or CNN. They do not shy away from showing the terrible consequences of a tragedy like this. One image in particular will be etched in my mind forever: seven or eight drowned babies placed side by side in a small room, with peaceful expressions on their innocent faces, but nonetheless lost forever. And then there was the woman who had lost all her seven kids; she was left to curse the fact that she was still alive.
The death toll in Indonesia will be far higher than first expected. Initial reports suggested around 5,000 deaths; but the authorities are now looking at 30,000-40,000 plus. In one town on the western coast of Aceh, Meulaboh, a quarter of its 40,000 population have been wiped out.
Although nothing can be done to help those that have died, those still alive desperately need help. Many are starving, have no shelter and are at risk of contracting deadly diseases. The already poor communications and transport systems have to be built anew in order to reach these people.
If you are able to make a donation – however small – you would be helping to prevent people from dying.
IndonesiaHelp, a weblog, has been set up to give online information to donors.
Thank you.

A Taste of Fundraising in the 1940s
The various essays provide a marvelous cross-section of American life in the 1900s -- and what cross section would be complete without a little charitable work? Enter Mr. John G. Saunders, City Sergeant of Richmond Virginia. He made a name for himself creating great vats of "Sergeant Saunders' Brunswick Stews" and selling it by the quart -- at 50 cents per, which must have seemed like a lot during the Depression -- in order to support the American Legion and other causes.
Before you're tempted to recreate this intriguing bit of history, here's a quick look at the recipe for 600 gallons of Sergeant Saunders' stew:
240 veal shins
12 beef shins
780 pounds chicken
48 pounds bacon (as a substitute for squirrel)
1,800 pounds Irish potatoes
18 bushels celery
600 pounds onions
24 dozen bushels carrots
360 pounds cabbage
150 gallons canned tomatoes
72 gallons canned corn
48 pounds butter
salt, pepper, and thyme
This mountain of ingredients must all be put into iron cauldrons and stewed for six hours.
Hmm, hiring a caterer starts to look pretty good, yes?

Doubtless as practiced by many, but not as urged by Pakistan's Religious Affairs minister, or Iranian members of parliament. From the Times Online:
Britain's decision to award Salman Rushdie a knighthood set off a storm of protest in the Islamic world today, with a Pakistani government minister giving warning that it could provide justification for suicide bomb attacks.
[Rushdie] has lived under police protection since the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini of Iran pronounced a fatwa (death sentence) on him over alleged blasphemies against Islam in his 1988 novel The Satanic Verses.
Today, Pakistan's religious affairs minister suggested that the knighthood was so grave an offence that any Muslim anywhere in the world would be justified in taking violent action.
"If somebody has to attack by strapping bombs to his body to protect the honour of the Prophet then it is justified," Mr ul-Haq told the National Assembly.
The minister, the son of Zia ul-Haq, the military dictator who died in a plane crash in 1988, later retracted his statement in parliament, then told the AFP news agency that he meant to say that knighting Rushdie would foster extremism.
"If someone blows himself up he will consider himself justified. How can we fight terrorism when those who commit blasphemy are rewarded by the West?" he said....
Well, how can we count on you to fight terrorism when you start by saying terrorism is justified, and then try to coerce our actions by threatening terrorism from your coreligionists?
Iran has also condemned Rushdie's knighthood, with hardliners issuing calls for his murder today. Mehdi Kuchakzadeh, a Tehran MP, declared: "It would be a hollow dream for the Queen of England to think that with such an action she could revive one of her mercenaries to oppose Islam... Rushdie died the moment the late Imam (Ayatollah Khomeini) issued the fatwa."
Backed by the Government, the Pakistan parliament today voted unanimously in favour of a resolution calling on Britain to withdraw the proferred knighthood because it is an insult to "the sentiments of Muslims across the world" and created religious hatred....
And what about the possibility that Muslim politicians' calls for murder and praise of terrorism is causing religious hostility, and even well-justified religious hatred for their fascistic brand of Islam? (I use "fascism" advisedly here, and I believe correctly.) "Sher Afgan Khan Niazi, the Minister for Parliamentary Affairs who proposed the resolution, called Rushdie a blasphemer. 'Every religion should be respected,' he told the National Assembly." No, not your version of your religion: That should get no respect at all.
From later in the article:
Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari, the Secretary-General of the Muslim Council of Britain, today added his voice to the chorus of disapproval of the knighthood. "Salman Rushdie earned notoriety amongst Muslims for the highly insulting and blasphemous manner in which he portrayed early Islamic figures," he said. "The granting of a knighthood to him can only do harm to the image of our country in the eyes of hundreds of millions of Muslims across the world. Many will interpret the knighthood as a final contemptuous parting gift from Tony Blair to the Muslim world."
I would think more highly of Dr. Bari if he also made, alongside this, the following statement to the world's Muslims:
Those who call for Rushdie's murder earned notoriety amongs Westerners for the highly immoral and contemptible manner in which they have acted. The repetition of this call can only do harm to the image of our religion in the eyes of hundreds of millions of people across the world. Many will interpret the renewed calls for his death as another contemptuous gift from the Muslim world to those whose good opinion Muslims claim to seek.
If he has made such statements that weren't reported by the media, please let me know about them so I can properly report on them. Likewise, I would like to praise Muslim leaders who condemn the renewed calls for Rushdie's death, and the use of threats of Muslim terrorism as an attempt at coercion -- please e-mail me pointers to such praise, so I can give it proper credit.
Meantime, many thanks to the Queen and her advisors on this. There are times to be politic, and there are times to speak out in defense of what we believe -- religious freedom and resistance to would-be religious murderers -- even when restating our beliefs can rankle the sentiments of others.
Thanks to InstaPundit for the pointer.

"Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done whether you like it or not." Thomas Huxley
Well, as of Friday night about 10:00, I still didn't know if the ride would be cancelled or not, so I set my alarm for 5:00 a.m. and went to bed. When the alarm went off I headed in to the computer to see what was going on. At that point the storm had still not passed and the ride was still on but the website said to stay posted for an update at 5:30.
I made my breakfast and sat in front of the computer for the next half hour waiting. The 5:30 posting said they still weren't sure - stay tuned for the next update at 6:30. What to do? If I waited until 6:30 and the ride WAS on, I wouldn't make it on time. So, I got dressed, loaded the car and stared that way, checking for updates at stop signs and stoplights. And around 6:20 the update came that the ride was being cancelled.
I headed back home, took the bike off the car so I could close the garage door, and climbed back in bed. And I stayed in bed until almost 10:00. Wow! Haven't done that in a long time.
Once I got up I knew what I had to do. It was a cold, rainy day and it would have been nice to cuddle up on the couch and watch basketball all day, but I headed to the trainer where I would be for the next two hours. I got off, ate lunch and then headed to the pool. I wasn't sure what my workout would be, but when I got there I decided to just swim straight through. 3,000 yards later I was done.
I thought I was done for the day but had told my daughter I would help clean out her closet. I spent a couple of hours helping her clean. Can I log that in my training log????
Since it had been a pretty full day, we decided Saturday night to sleep in Sunday morning and go to late service. That was nice. But as soon as we got home from church I knew I needed to get in a long run. The sun was out today, but the wind was still gusting at 20+ mph. I wimped out and hit the treadmill. But thanks to March Madness, my mind wasn't on running. Ninety minutes later it was time to stop.
So despite the disappointment of not getting in a nice, long, outdoor ride, I did get a lot of training in this weekend.
The time I wanted to take down a nurse.
