Let me start by saying the information I have provided within this text has been taken from Harpers magazine, October 1998, Planet of Weeds by David Quammen.
I read this article in English class because I have taken a keen interest in the articles which are submitted to Harpers. I find they are fairly unbiased and they come from a wide spectrum of people around the world who have familliarized themselves with the topic they have wrote about. This article is called Planet of Weeds: Tallying the Loss of Earths Animals and Plants. Mind you they have stated in this article that all mathmatical systems used to tally these losses are incorrect to a point as it would be impossible to make a perfect tally. There are an unimaginable amount of species and organisms on this earth, most of which we have failed to discover, and many have which become extinct before we were able to discover them.
Lets start this off with a tally of histories mass extinctions.
Ordovian: 85% of all species extinct (mind you there were no land organisms at this time)
Devonian: 85% species extinct, much like the Ordovian period.
Permian: 95% of all species extinct, worst extinction in known history as it almost wiped out the animal kingdom.
Trassic: 96% of marine species gone, 70% of terrestrial species extinct.
Cretaceous: 76% of all species, well known as the dinsosaurs became extinct.
*note: on average it takes 8-10 million years for an ecosytem and it's organisms to recover after a mass extinction.*
This being stated, use this chart as a reference point for some of the information that I have taken from this article and laid out in this entry.
Part 1: Tree-Huggers Unite!
-Norman Myers, author of the Sinking Arc, collected this data.
-1600-1990: Humans caused the extinction of 70 species.
-1900-1975: Humans caused the extinction of another 70 species.
Although this may not seem like a very high rate of extinction to some people please note that this rate is much higher than the rate of extinction in the Cretaceous Period.
-These extinctions were the species that we knew about, it is estimated that 25,000 plant species and 100,000's of insects that we haven't discovered have become extinct within 1600-1975. That's a massive rate of exctinction.
-In 1992 W.V Reid charted rainforest species loss at 17-35 percent by the year 2040. Although you may think this isn't much this doesn't mark the end of human existance, and with a population that is exponentially growing and expanding this number will also exponentially grow.
-Present word estimates put protected land reserves at around 6.3% of the total earths surface, this is likely to product species fragmentation.
-Habitat Fragmentation: Quite possibly one of the most stupid effects we are having on this earth, ironically this stems from a process in which many people believe are saving the Earths environment. The definiton of this is: island like parcels of land surrounded by and ocean of human impact. In english this is the definiton of National Parks, Wildlife Refuges and Protected Land. We are containing ecosystems and it's species within tiny parcels of land, we then build as close as possible to the fringes. The problem with this is that most large species require a large territory to survive, when conditions (natural or human caused) change within the park they need to travel to where conditions are favourable. Problem is that we have paved over the once favourable areas, in essense the species will die of; hence "fragmentation."
-The best part of these parks is that we are ignorant enough to believe that these species will co-exist with other species just fine within the borders. With this mind set we are free to completely fuck the land around it.
-Within these parks many birds and mammals can expect a lifespan of 200-400 years, then they are most likely to become extinct, a rate of about .33 of a percent a year; so much for the wildlife refuge!
-Stuart L. Pemm and Thomas Brooks estimated that 50% of birds and 1/3-2/3s of all species will die out within the next half century.
-In 1993 the UN-FAO stated that 15.4 million hectares of tropical forest are lost annually. The costal forests of Brazil are 95% gone, the Phillipines which was once mostly covered with forests has been reduced to 92%. Even Costa Rica, which is possibly one of the most ecologically conscience countries in the world is still losing forests.
-The human population grows by about 80 million people a year. This amounts to 9.4 billion by 2050 and 10.8 billion by 2150 where the population is expected to level off- possible carrying capacity.
-Here's the huge problem as far as ecosystems and rainforests (where most of the earths biodiversity is contained) are concerned, 9.8 billion of the projected 10.8 will live in the Southern Latitudes of Asia, Latin American, Africa and the Carribbean. These areas are where the vast majority of rainforests are concentrated. I hope by now you're starting to get the connection.
-A man named Paul Harrison pointed out three variables which effect earths biodiversity 1) population size 2) consumption levels 3) technology.
-Of this population growth accounts for 79% of the deforestation in less developed countries, where the rainforests are...
-So if we look at the present, we are an earth that is obsessed with the green revolution, technologies are going green, our methods of consumption are turning a shade of green, but our population is still drastically expanding. So our efforts to "save the earth" are in essense great, but largely inneffective in the spectrum of ecological destruction.
-Harrison also estimated that each human needs 1/5 of a hectare to survive. So if we look at the projected 4.9 billion additions to earths population by 2150 that's an added 10 million sqaure kilometers of needed land. Since this population growth is mostly contained to tropical areas, as stated before, one could confidently say "bye bye rainforests."
-In developed countries the amount of available cropland is drasticaly dropping while the need continues to climb- that's bad news for eco-nuts and tree huggers alike. When you need farmland, the most effective way to get it is to chop down what's on top of it.
-Tropical forests and other terrestrial ecosystems will be reduced to 'isands,' add in secondary cascading effects and these species within these forests will also be in some serious trouble.
Par 2: Aliens attack!
-I took out this quote from this article also because it sums up our projected future quite well. "We are living in a period of the worlds history where the mingling of thousands of kinds of organsisms from different parts of the world is setting up terrific dislocations in nature."
-Invasive species introduced due to human activities have unleashed havoc across the ecosytems which contain very unadaptable characteristics. These species are dieing out quicker than disco music.
-Organisms and species like purple loosestrife, rats, cats, chinese mitten crabs, zebra mussels, etc are all causing huge amounts of destruction within their introduced enviroments.
-Weed Species: have a constellation of characteristics; they reproduce quickly, disperse widely, tolerate a broad range of habitats, take hold in strange locations, succeed in disturbing ecosytems and resist eradication once they're established. They tend to thrive in human dominated terrain.
*Homo-Sapiens: Remarkably widespread, prolific and adaptable- are the consumate weeds.*
-Understand the connection yet? We slash and burn purple loosestrife, attempt to contain the outbreak of zebra mussels, control the spread of rabid cats all in a futile attempt to save the ecosystems in which they effect. We are attempting to control what we are, invasive or, weedy species. We are just like the purple loosestrife, rats, cockroaches and the Chinese mitten crab, we thrive while crushing what is less adaptable. Common, you've gotta love the irony!
Part 3: The Future?
-In the future wildlife will consist of the weedy and domesticated. Organisms which can survive in our fragmented ecosystems and destructive nature. The rat, the cockroach, the house sparrow, the family dog/cat, mongooses and any other species which plays by our rules, we will be a planet of weeds.
-We will lose the pharmaceutical and genetic resources contained within the species that we have erradicated.
Onto the good news! The ecosytem will still continue to evolve, just because we are left with weedy species doesn't mean they can't still evolve and branch off. The bad news is that this will not happen until the greatest limiting factor of evolution has died off; Homo-Sapiens.

Elias is quite a bit more outgoing than I am and I find myself cringing inside on many occasions as he loves to chat it up with every. single. person. he sees. Don't get me wrong- I love that he is so friendly. But I guess I can be a little introverted among strangers. But in Elias' world.. strangers? What are strangers? I love this about him.
So usually any venture out in public has me calling Chase on the way home to relay all the Elias stories. Elias will talk to everyone he passes, and is especially encouraged if someone actually makes eye contact with him.
There is usually a certain theme that he shouts out to passersby."Hey! Do you like tattoos? I'm into tattoos!" or "I have a monster truck at home. Do you like trucks? Do you have trucks? Do you want a truck? Do you want to see my truck?" or any other random thought in his brain. Could be about the cheerios he ate for breakfast or the dead skunk he saw in the road 3 months ago. There's just no tellin.
We just had a unique two days without Elias' prosthetic leg. Daddy Prosthetist was finalizing his new leg (which uses parts of the old leg) so had to take it with him to work.
(As a side note, it was interesting to see Elias get so sad about not having his leg. Since we had been talking about it so much I wasn't prepared for his grief. He would burst into tears throughout the day, bemoaning the fact that daddy took his leg and how mean that was or how sad he was. This is the first time in a year that he has gone a day without his leg and it is really a part of him. The sadness wasn't related to not being able to walk- he enjoys crawling around- but a very real attachment to his leg. )
Yesterday at Walmart, Elias was wearing shorts so it was obvious to people around us that he has only one leg. He was chatting it up with a lady in the garden section asking a million questions about her flower selections when he suddenly got very quiet and said,
"Daddy took my leg."
Complete silence and uncomfortableness overcomes the woman. So Elias repeats himself.
"Daddy took my leg."
The lady was being so kind but obviously confused that this kid was telling her that his dad had taken his leg. All she can see is his one leg hanging out of the cart and obviously missing the other. Who knows the stories she had concocted in her head!?
Elias never cracked a smile so I stepped in and explained that he was referring to his prosthetic leg and his dad was making him a new one. She nodded her head politely as if she had had the same conversation with a million other toddlers and then I soon pulled my cart into the next aisle to relieve her from this awkward conversation. :-)
By the way, the new leg is pretty cool. My camera is broken but we'll try and post pictures soon.

Another Happy #MeatlessMonday to you! If you've been following me for awhile, you know two things. 1) I love making soup, and 2) I love cooking with butternut squash.
I was looking for a different taste than my usual favorite butternut squash soup recipe … something not as garlic-ky … so I started experimenting. I had a few granny smith apples in the fruit bowl, and I felt like the tart apple flavor would be really nice with the butternut squash.
I was right! After I made it, I felt like this Butternut Squash Soup with Granny Smith Apples was the best of any soup I'd ever made! Not bad for an experiment. I highly recommend giving this a try. It was super easy to make, not a huge time commitment, and like I said … it tasted REALLY good!
Here's what you'll need:
- 2 pounds whole butternut squash (1 medium-sized squash), seeds removed and cut into 2-3 inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple
- 1/2 medium yellow onion
- 1/2 teaspoon sage powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1/4 cups water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel the skin off of a medium-sized butternut squash. Cut into 2-3 inch pieces and add to a roasting pan. Add olive oil and water to roasting pan and toss with the squash, coating well. Roast for about 50 minutes or until squash is tender.
- While the squash is roasting, peel and core the apple and cut into a medium dice. Cut the onion into medium dice. Melt the butter Dutch oven or small stock pot over medium heat. Add the apple, onion, and sage. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until soft (7 – 10 minutes) stirring every couple of minutes so it does not stick. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
- When the squash is done, remove from oven and add the apple/onion mixture as well as the fresh grated ginger to the roasting pan.
- Add about one cup of the squash apple mixture to a blender with one cup of the vegetable stock. Puree until smooth and put back into your dutch oven/stock pot. Repeat until all of the squash has been pureed with the remaining vegetable broth. If you desire a thinner consistency, you can add a little water to the puree.
- Simmer until the flavors meld, about 15 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Enjoy!
Question: Do you have a favorite butternut squash soup recipe? If you do, please add your link in the comments below!

WHY?? Because ever since blogger changed their "it worked perfectly" photo uploader, it turns 'only some of' my photos sideways and causes old people (me) to be reduced to tears simply because I want to share with you something important in my life.
Shame on blogger.***
As a side note, I want to tell you that I LOVE my daughter(in law). Yes, she's my DIL, but I like to think of her as my new daughter.
She loves Craig so much, that is very evident.
Craig loves her so much, you can see it in the way he looks at her.
And, after getting to know her I have found myself "in love" with her. I see us having a lot of fun in the years to come!
Blessings to you all and I apologize that you have to jump through hoops to see the photos of the weekend.
I will miss telling you about everything, but until blogger fixes what wasn't broken, I have no recourse.
Even T.P.'ing Mr. Blogger's yard has had NO impact on this issue. I don't know what I'll do next - I'm leaning towards dog poop in a bag on the front porch, set on fire, ringing and running.
Have a blessed day,

Check out A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES Goodreads!
Pre-order on Barnes & Noble and Amazon! (Release Date: May 5, 2015)
OUR THOUGHTS: IN LOVE with this cover! The main character, Feyre, looks like such a badass! The dragon scale-like armor she's wearing nicely fitted to her curves with the feather-like features around her neck and the vines and floral tattoos (at least that's what they look like to us) on her arm make her seem like she'd totally be a force to be reckoned with! We already want to hang out with her and fight battles with her! The vines encircling the title and twisting around throughout the cover add an element of magic and mystery we want to uncover. We are SO adding this book to our MUST READ list for 2015!! (Plus, the synopsis makes the book sound SOOOO GOOOOD!!)

I came across these carvings a couple of years ago on NOTCOT. If I remember correctly, they're carved out of beech nuts. I think they're amazing — so intricate and so beautifully done. I couldn't locate the artist's name or where to find them, but I've saved the images because I love looking at them.
And I feel a little silly admitting to this next one, but I also like Thai fruit and vegetable carvings. I saw a competition on the Food Network once and I was fascinated. Sometimes the designs can get a bit hokey, but it's interesting to see all the different ideas that emerge.

Cats are popping up in all sorts of situations! You may see cat libraries that encourage cat adoption, cats attending school, or even cats while you're fishing if you're lucky! But one place that you should probably see them more frequently is in the office. Cats don't only bring joy at home, they can bring a lot of peace and happiness to the work environment as well.
Here are five reasons why every business should have an official "office cat."
1. An Office Cat Can Attract More Customers
Keeping an office cat in a retail shop can definitely draw in more customers. For example, a car mechanic who has an "office cat" might have customers choosing to bring their cars to his business simply because they want to visit the cat. A social cat in a jewelry store or a thrift shop might entertain customers if they have to wait in line. Some business owners have even found that customers remember their cat's name better than the shop owner's name!
2. Office Cats Can Cut Down On Stress
A high-stress work environment could definitely benefit from having a friendly cat on site. Petting a cat's soft fur can reduce stress because it actually lowers your heart rate and your blood pressure. It can also cause your body to produce more oxytocin, which reduces the stress hormone cortisol. If that's not enough, petting a cat can reduce anxiety too. An office with relaxed employees who aren't stressed out is always more productive.
3. Excellent Tax Deduction And Public Relations Opportunity
Some businesses like to make charitable donations and give back to the community where they are located. It's an excellent public relations move, publicity opportunity and an important part of the tax year. Having a cat on campus can help create these kinds of opportunities and help your office or business to raise money for the charity of your choice. We told you in August of a hotel that uses their cat's birthday party every year to raise money for shelter animals and as an adoption event to help find homes for homeless cats in their area. You could post photos of other available cats in the office break room or on a bulletin board for customers to see. Your customers will definitely remember you for caring.
4. Pest Control
Bugs, mice, rats and other pests are just a part of life in the city (or country for that matter) but having an office cat on patrol will definitely help keep your office clear of any pests who might wander around after hours making a snack out of what's left in a trashcan, on the kitchen counter or lunch break table.
5. You Are Providing A Home To A Cat Who Needs It
Shelters and rescues are full of cats who need homes. Knowing that you not only saved a life, but are now providing a loving home for that cat to flourish in can be its own reward.
Adding an office cat to a business or company roster can be a "purrrfect" way to increase productivity, lift the mood, keep pests away, and provide publicity opportunities. Not only might you see more customers showing up, but you'll notice people getting along better and workplace relations improving. It's also a great way to give a homeless cat a forever home.

In a statement to the BBC, Major General Ismail Etman of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) has denied reports that military police used live ammunition during the Maspero clashes on Sunday.------------------------------------------------
Etman's statement contradicts eyewitness accounts and primary autopsy reports that show protesters were killed by live ammunition.
A clever man once said: "I never trust statistics I haven't forged myself." To a certain degree you could think this was the attitude of the SCAF as well, because they clearly don't trust a truth they haven't fabricated themselves. And fabricate they do with all might.
When peaceful protesters were arrested at Tahrir on Feb 26 the army showed them on State TV shortly afterwards declaring them publicly to be "thugs".
When there was truly no evidence to thuggery from protesters arrested on March 9, the army brought in masses of weapons from its depot, laid them on a table, made protesters stand next to them and took photos to prove the protesters had been armed. Looking at the masses of weapons on the table, the protesters each would have had to drive a lorry across Tahrir to be able to have so many knifes and guns in their possession. (Hint to the army: If you fake, don't overdo it!).
When protesters where run over by the army and real thugs - (remember: "one hand" theory) - on April 9, rounds of ammo were shot to such an extent that one could hardly bear the sound when watching a video the next day, secretly taken from a balcony above Tahrir. Yet when the speaker of the SCAF had to respond to the protests against this, he found the invaluable words: "No shots were fired."
Watch this little jewel and learn what it means if the SCAF says, no shots were fired. (Caution: Please turn down the volume of your speakers or it will blast you away).
The fabrication of stories and the distortion of the truth seems to be a running thing in the SCAF family.
When the blogger Maikel Nabil was sentenced to three years prison with hard labor and a fine on April 10, none of his lawyers were present. For the court had told them and Nabil in the session that day that no verdict was going to be handed down and that the court was adjourned to April 12. When the lawyers arrived at court the next morning on other cases, they had to learn from the papers published there that Nabil had in fact been convicted on the evening of April 10 in his and the absence of all his lawyers. The lawyers protested strongly against this violation of judiciary conduct.
A few days later General Etman, speaker for the SCAF, had to answer questions in a talk show of ON TV. When asked about this violation, Gen. Etman never even flinched. "All lawyers were present when the verdict was handed down", Etman said and repeated it even after talk show host Yosri Fouda got visibly confused, knowing very well, that six independent lawyers had testified to the opposite. But "No shots were fired"-Etman stuck to his story come rain, come shine. Not only the talk show host was stunned at this performance.
It is not, that Gen. Etman is lying. Someone who lies is deliberately not telling you the truth. But that is not what Gen. Etman does. Etman does not not tell you the truth - instead he tells you a fictional story that has nothing to do with reality. He is like a man standing in front of a 10-story brick building waving his arms in excitement and telling you: "The SCAF has made all this into a nature reserve. No buildings, no obstructions. As you can see - only green meadows with butterflies and birds!" You'd look at the man and you wouldn't say he is lying. You would think instead: Get a doctor. Quick. The man needs help. And its urgent!
How someone who actually needs a doctor comes to speak for the SCAF and disclose a reality of meadows with trees and birds - when in fact and clearly for everyone but him to see he is standing in front of a 10-story brick building - is beyond comprehension. And is this not an insult to the intelligence of the army to let someone tell such fiction discrediting the army by this? Is Gen. Etman not in fact "offending the army" with this behavior and should the SCAF not therefore immediately have to be brought in front of the military prosecutor with three years jail sentence at least? - Well, from the logic of the SCAF, yes. To represent the army with such fabricated stories is nothing short of an "insult to the Armed Forces of Egypt".
But more so - and this the SCAF does not understand - it is an insult to the people of Egypt. Because clearly in letting Gen. Etman recount such fictional tales as reality the SCAF sends out the message that it deems the people of Egypt to be stupid enough to buy these stories, stupid enough to believe the tales of green meadows and birds and trees while everyone is in fact standing right in the middle of high-rise buildings. The only one who does not (want?) to see the buildings, is Gen. Etman and the SCAF. The people - take note - see the obstructions clearly. And nothing Gen. Etman can invent, will ever change that.

Police had to be called to the Grosvenor House Hotel on Monday night to attend the incident, with eyewitnesses describing how West Ham security forcefully removed a small group of fans who had become embroiled in the confrontation.
Chairs and tables were dislodged during the struggle, while glasses and a vase were also shattered.
Eyewitness say that punches were thrown at security and there were also claims that the vase was smashed as a result of a 'kung-fu' kick, although that is disputed by West Ham.
Harry Redknapp, the former Tottenham manager, yesterday critcised his former club for hosting a dinner on the day after their Premier League relegation had been confirmed.
There had been suggestions that Ba had refused to sign an autograph for a fan but the Senegal striker has emphatically denied that claim.
"I could never do that," said Ba. "This guy came and asked for an autograph so I just gave him his autograph.
"Then he asked me nicely how I was feeling so I just said I was tired from the game yesterday and that it was a tough game. And then he just replied, 'Oh, we're tired watching you play every weekend as well'.
"I was surprised, I was with [Manuel] Da Costa and told him what the guy had said. Manuel asked me who the guy was. Then the guy all of a sudden started screaming at me like crazy. I tried to calm him down but obviously he didn't want to.
"He started smashing some tables and glasses. It was a crazy situation. He started insulting me. When he talked to me I didn't understand everything that he said but the people next to me said he was saying racist things.
"When [Danny] Gabbidon heard these words he came and tried to talk to him but this guy didn't want to listen and started insulting Gabbidon as well. Nobody punched anybody. It was just one guy screaming and smashing tables."
Ba's account of the incident was corroborated by the West Ham co-owner David Sullivan.
"It was one individual who had too much to drink, sadly a problem in British society," he said."A player was racially abused by the same drunken supporter."
Despite the abuse, Ba has indicated that he does not want West Ham to take further action against the fan, who is understood to be a season-ticket holder. The police have also received no formal complaint from West Ham and now regard the matter as closed.
The incident took place between the main beef course and the white chocolate truffle. "The first I became aware of it was a massive smash," said one eyewitness. "It was really serious. There were about eight or nine security guards moving the guys out of the way. Plates were flying off the table. It was surreal. It just exploded.
"The guy who was being kicked out was moaning and ranting. He said, 'we are season-ticket holders, you can't talk to us like that and turn around and say you are too tired to talk to us'.
"There was basically a trail of destruction through the ballroom as they were getting taken out. There were innocent punters who were trying to get out of the way. It was all quite nasty."
Paul Blanks, general manager of the Squibb Group, whose family are lifelong West Ham fans, said: "On our table, there was a chair knocked over but we got moved by the hotel people. They said, 'you don't have to pay for your drinks because of all the aggravation you have had to suffer'.
West Ham know which table it was and apologised to us. It blew over in about five minutes."
The evening continued after the disturbance, with Scott Parker predictably winning the main awards. There was even a jokey reference to the fracas during an impromptu sketch on stage between Alex Walkinshaw and Scott Maslin, actors from The Bill and Eastenders respectively.
Despite the incident, West Ham have described the evening as a "roaring success" and believe that it was positive for the players to have spent an evening with 800 fans.
Sullivan says they will hold the event again next season. West Ham are also annoyed by Redknapp's claim that the dinner, which was to raise money for the club's academy, should not have taken place.
"What they are having a celebration dinner for I don't know," said Redknapp.
West Ham are satisfied that all of their players conducted themselves correctly throughout the evening.

Yesterday something so awful happened. I woke up cranky. I literally feel cranky, maybe, twice a year. When I do it is atomic. It is a devilish blend of hormones, winter, general life annoyances and not getting enough sleep.
To start it off I spilled my coffee grinds. All over the place (inner thought – Shiitttt). The dog gets excited to get out the door in the morning, but yesterday her bark annoyed me so greatly that I got cross at her (inner thought – Shut up!). She put her tail between her legs and did not want to come near me. Shortly after walking she couldn't keep going because the salt was bothering her paws (inner thought – Seriously?) I had to pick her up and put booties on her and of course got yucky water from her belly all over my coat (inner thought – Dammit). We were making our way to pick up my brothers dog and as luck would have it a big section of their street hasn't been shovelled and the sidewalk is a huge mess (inner thought: Assholes). So I stepped out into the street and went into what I didn't realize was a pothole full of slush. Right over the top of my boots. (inner thought – Fuck). We picked up Preston. On the way Millie wasn't able to walk as fast as usual because her paws were still hurting, so Preston was pulling her along (inner thought – Commmeee onnn). As we were making our way we had to cross a few crosswalks. Drivers didn't stop (inner though – Screw you) . When we finally got to the office I realized I had dog hair all over my tights (inner thought – Urrrgghhh). I then went to get my coffee at the shop around the corner from my office – I went to put milk in it and the pitcher was empty (inner thought – Of course). Back at the office every email and phone call was a complete annoyance (inner thought – You are so annoying). The internet, it was so slow (inner thought – This sucks). 3 pm came and I had an absolute cracking headache. I didn't have an Advil at the office so I had to make my way over to the drug store. The friendly cashier asked me 'how are you today' to which I replied 'I have an awful headache.' He said 'hopefully that Advil helps' (inner though – Yeah thanks for that Captain Obvious). On the way back to the office every person I walked by annoyed me (inner thought – Too slow, move over, get out of my way). I took the Advil and waited for it to kick in. On the way home from the office I wanted to avoid the salt for Millie, so I cut across Citadel Hill. It was really mild and so when I went to walk on the snow, I sunk. Like really deep. Right up to my waist No exaggeration. Filled my boots with snow and I had to sort of crawl out of the bank (inner thought- You HAVE to being kidding me). I made it home, took off my drenched tights and hid away from the world. I didn't even call my mother for fear of being short. I went to bed at 9:30.
I woke up today feeling refreshed with some perspective. What a COMPLETE waste of a day. It was actually a beautiful day here and I didn't even see it. My body literally had a physical reaction to how yucky my thoughts were. A headache! I never get headaches (unless wine or beer induced). Other than telling the guy at the drug store that I had a headache, I didn't put my shitty mood onto anyone else. I am emotionally intelligent enough to have kept it inside my head. Unfortunately, I see people reacting outwardly the same way I was feeling inwardly all the time. My inner thoughts are their words.
I recently watched the movie Groundhog Day. It had been years since I saw it. I did not remember the premise of the movie other than his day was on repeat. Phil was cynical, negative and everyone annoyed him, making him short tempered all the time. In having his day be on repeat over and over again (he stepped in the same puddle and saw the same guy who annoyed him) he learned that it was his reaction to the day directly affected the outcome. When he was a dick the same cruddy things happened over and over again. When he changed his outlook and his assumptions of others, his day changed. Presto! Imagine. When he didn't see things from a negative standpoint his day was exponentially better and so was the day for all of those around him.
Through my work I deal with people going through really awful things all the time. Like, really awful things. It gives me perspective that my 'stuff' is not that bad. Now, I am not suggesting that you can't be cranky. We are human after all. When you aren't a crank you see that everyone you encounter is also – just human. They are not assholes (well most everyone), lazy (well most everyone), inconsiderate (well most everyone) and that your dog just loves you wholeheartedly. When you look at it from a positive standpoint small annoyances are much easier to deal with. Get the broom to sweep the grinds, change your socks when they get wet, get the lint brush to take the hair off and just ask to have the milk pitcher filled up. Shake it off. Move on.
What I am saying is that life is a beautiful-beautiful gift and you sure as hell miss out on a lot of good stuff when you are a crank.
***my dog is treated like a queen and all I did was tell her to SHUT UP.

Emma Jossylin had been dead and buried three days. The sister who had come to the funeral had taken Emma's child away with her, and the house was swept and aired; then, when it seemed there was least occasion for it, Emma came back. The neighbor woman who had nursed her was the first to know it. It was about seven of the evening, in a mellow gloom: the neighbor woman was sitting on her own stoop with her arms wrapped in her apron, and all at once she found herself going along the street under an urgent sense that Emma needed her. She was half-way down the block before she recollected that this was impossible, for Mrs. Jossylin was dead and buried, but as soon as she came opposite the house she was aware of what had happened. It was all open to the summer air; except that it was a little neater, not otherwise than the rest of the street. It was quite dark; but the presence of Emma Jossylin streamed from it and betrayed it more than a candle. It streamed out steadily across the garden, and even as it reached her, mixed with the smell of the damp mignonette, the neighbor woman owned to herself that she had always known Emma would come back.
"A sight stranger if she wouldn't," thought the woman who had nursed her. "She wasn't ever one to throw off things easily."
Emma Jossylin had taken death, as she had taken everything in life, hard. She had met it with the same hard, bright, surface competency that she had presented to the squalor of the encompassing desertness, to the insuperable commonness of Sim Jossylin, to the affliction of her crippled child; and the intensity of her wordless struggle against it had caught the attention of the townspeople and held it in a shocked, curious awe. She was so long a-dying, lying there in the little low house, hearing the abhorred footsteps going about her house and the vulgar procedure of the community encroach upon her like the advances of the sand wastes on an unwatered field.
For Emma had always wanted things different, wanted them with a fury of intentness that implied offensiveness in things as they were. And the townspeople had taken offence, the more so because she was not to be surprised in any inaptitude for their own kind of success. Do what you could, you could never catch Emma Jossylin in a wrapper after three o'clock in the afternoon. And she would never talk about the child—in a country where so little ever happened that even trouble was a godsend if it gave you something to talk about. It was reported that she did not even talk to Sim. But there the common resentment got back at her. If she had thought to effect anything with Sim Jossylin against the benumbing spirit of the place, the evasive hopefulness, the large sense of leisure that ungirt the loins, if she still hoped somehow to get away with him to some place for which by her dress, by her manner, she seemed forever and unassailably fit, it was foregone that nothing would come of it. They knew Sim Jossylin better than that. Yet so vivid had been the force of her wordless dissatisfaction that when the fever took her and she went down like a pasteboard figure in the damp, the wonder was that nothing toppled with her. And as if she too had felt herself indispensable, Emma Jossylin had come back.
The neighbor woman crossed the street, and as she passed the far corner of the gate, Jossylin spoke to her. He had been standing, she did not know how long a time, behind the syringa bush, and moved even with her along the fence until they came to the gate. She could see in the dusk that before speaking he wet his lips with his tongue.
"She's in there," he said at last.
He nodded. "I been sleeping at the store since—but I thought I'd be more comfortable—as soon as I opened the door, there she was."
"Did you see her?"
"How do you know, then?"
"Don't you know?"
The neighbor felt there was nothing to say to that.
"Come in," he whispered, huskily. They slipped by the rose tree and the wistaria and sat down on the porch at the side. A door swung inward behind them. They felt the Presence in the dusk beating like a pulse.
"What do you think she wants?" said Jossylin. "Do you reckon it's the boy?"
"Like enough."
"He's better off with his aunt. There was no one here to take care of him, like his mother wanted." He raised his voice unconsciously with a note of justification, addressing the room behind.
"I am sending fifty dollars a month," he said; "he can go with the best of them." He went on at length to explain all the advantage that was to come to the boy from living at Pasadena, and the neighbor woman bore him out in it.
"He was glad to go," urged Jossylin to the room. "He said it was what his mother would have wanted."
They were silent then a long time, while the Presence seemed to swell upon them and encroached upon the garden. Finally, "I gave Zeigler the order for the monument yesterday,"
Jossylin threw out, appeasingly. "It's to cost three hundred and fifty." The Presence stirred. The neighbor thought she could fairly see the controlled tolerance with which Emma Jossylin threw off the evidence of Sim's ineptitude.
They sat on helplessly without talking after that, until the woman's husband came to the fence and called her.
"Don't go," begged Jossylin.
"Hush!" she said. "Do you want all the town to know? You had naught but good from Emma living, and no call to expect harm from her now. It's natural she should come back—if—if she was lonesome like—in—the place where she's gone to."
"Emma wouldn't come back to this place," Jossylin protested, "without she wanted something."
"Well, then, you've got to find out," said the neighbor woman.
All the next day she saw, whenever she passed the house, that Emma was still there. It was shut and barred, but the Presence lurked behind the folded blinds and fumbled at the doors. When it was night and the moths began in the columbine under the window, It went out and walked in the garden.
Jossylin was waiting at the gate when the neighbor woman came. He sweated with helplessness in the warm dusk, and the Presence brooded upon them like an apprehension that grows by being entertained.
"She wants something," he appealed, "but I can't make out what. Emma knows she is welcome to everything I've got. Everybody knows I've been a good provider."
The neighbor woman remembered suddenly the only time she had ever drawn close to Emma Jossylin touching the child. They had sat up with it together all one night in some childish.ailment, and she had ventured a question: "What does his father think?" And Emma had turned her a white, hard face of surpassing dreariness. "I don't know," she admitted; "he never says."
"There's more than providing," suggested the neighbor woman.
"Yes. There's feeling . . . but she had enough to do to put up with me. I had no call to be troubling her with such." He left off to mop his forehead, and began again.
"Feelings," he said; "there's times a man gets so wore out with feelings, he doesn't have them any more."
He talked, and presently it grew clear to the woman that he was voiding all the stuff of his life, as if he had sickened on it and was now done. It was a little soul knowing itself and not good to see. What was singular was that the Presence left off walking in the garden, came and caught like a gossamer on the ivy tree, swayed by the breath of his broken sentences. He talked, and the neighbor woman saw him for once as he saw himself and Emma, snared and floundering in an inexplicable unhappiness. He had been disappointed too. She had never relished the man he was, and it made him ashamed. That was why he had never gone away, lest he should make her ashamed among her own kind. He was her husband; he could not help that, though he was sorry for it. But he could keep the offence where least was made of it. And there was a child—she had wanted a child, but even then he had blundered—begotten a cripple upon her. He blamed himself utterly, searched out the roots of his youth for the answer to that, until the neighbor woman flinched to hear him. But the Presence stayed.
He had never talked to his wife about the child. How should he? There was the fact—the advertisement of his incompetence. And she had never talked to him. That was the one blessed and unassailable memory, that she had spread silence like a balm over his hurt. In return for it he had never gone away. He had resisted her that he might save her from showing among her own kind how poor a man he was. With every word of this ran the fact of his love for her—as he had loved her with all the stripes of clean and uncleanness. He bared himself as a child without knowing; and the Presence stayed. The talk trailed off at last to the commonplaces of consolation between the retchings of his spirit. The Presence lessened and streamed toward them on the wind of the garden. When it touched them like the warm air of noon that lies sometimes in hollow places after nightfall, the neighbor woman rose and went away.
The next night she did not wait for him. When a rod outside the town—it was a very little one—the burrowing owls whoowhooed, she hung up her apron and went to talk with Emma Jossylin. The Presence was there, drawn in, lying close. She found the key between the wistaria and the first pillar of the porch; but as soon as she opened the door she felt the chill that might be expected by one intruding on Emma Jossylin in her own house.
" 'The Lord is my shepherd!' " said the neighbor woman; it was the first religious phrase that occurred to her; then she said the whole of the psalm, and after that a hymn. She had come in through the door, and stood with her back to it and her hand upon the knob. Everything was just as Mrs. Jossylin had left it, with the waiting air of a room kept for company.
"Em," she said, boldly, when the chill had abated a little before the sacred words—"Em Jossylin, I've got something to say to you. And you've got to hear," she added with firmness as the white curtains stirred duskily at the window. "You wouldn't be talked to about your troubles when . . . you were here before, and we humored you. But now there is Sim to be thought of. I guess you heard what you came for last night, and got good of it. Maybe it would have been better if Sim had said things all along instead of hoarding them in his heart, but, anyway, he has said them now. And what I want to say is, if you was staying on with the hope of hearing it again, you'd be making a mistake. You was an uncommon woman, Emma Jossylin, and there.didn't none of us understand you very well, nor do you justice, maybe; but Sim is only a common man, and I understand him because I'm that way myself. And if you think he'll be opening his heart to you every night, or be any different from what he's always been on account of what's happened, that's a mistake, too . . . and in a little while, if you stay, it will be as bad as it always was . . . men are like that . . . you'd better go now while there's understanding between you." She stood staring into the darkling room that seemed suddenly full of turbulence and denial. It seemed to beat upon her and take her breath, but she held on.
"You've got to go . . . Em . . . and I'm going to stay until you do," she said with finality; and then began again:
" 'The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart,' " and repeated the passage to the end.
Then, as the Presence sank before it, "You better go, Emma," persuasively: and again, after an interval:
" 'He shall deliver thee in six troubles.
" 'Yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.' " The Presence gathered itself and was still; she could make out that it stood over against the opposite corner by the gilt easel with the crayon portrait of the child.
" 'For thou shalt forget thy misery. Thou shalt remember it as waters that are past,' " concluded the neighbor woman, as she heard Jossylin on the gravel outside. What the Presence had wrought upon him in the night was visible in his altered mien. He looked, more than anything else, to be in need of sleep. He had eaten his sorrow, and that was the end of it—as it is with men.
"I came to see if there was anything I could do for you," said the woman, neighborly, with her hand upon the door.
"I don't know as there is," said he. "I'm much obliged, but I don't know as there is."
"You see," whispered the woman, over her shoulder, "not even to me." She felt the tug of her heart as the Presence swept past her. The neighbor went out after that and walked in the ragged street, past the schoolhouse, across the creek below the town, out by the fields, over the headgate, and back by the town again. It was full nine of the clock when she passed the Jossylin house. It looked, except for being a little neater, not other than the rest of the street. The door was open and the lamp was lit; she saw Jossylin black against it. He sat reading in a book like a man at ease in his own house.

A heavily pregnant hairdresser screamed in terror as a hoodied thug threatened to stab her bump with a screwdriver.
Katie Martlew, who is eight months pregnant, was so traumatised by the robbery she felt like she might have gone into labour a month early.
The 28-year-old, from Liverpool, says she has suffered sharp pregnancy pains after the robber pointed the screwdriver an inch away from her bump, saying 'open the till or I'll stab you'.
'Masked' robbers pointed screwdrivers in the faces of customers, threatening to 'stab them in the face' and threw a glass vase across the salon hitting Katie's 97-year-old great gran, Lilian.
But the horrifying robbery was stopped when Katie's brave 72-year-old nan threw the armed robbers out of the Envi hairdressing salon in Waterloo, Merseyside.
Patricia O'Brien was parked outside when she saw the robbers and dashed inside to confront them.
The gran, who works as a shop assistant, said it was her "gut reaction" to take on the raiders.
She said: "I was not fearful. It was only the next day when I thought that I should have sprayed something in their faces. I was thinking of my mum and Katie at the time."
Mum-of-one Katie could not stop screaming during the five minute attack and says she was violently sick moments later.
Katie, said: "I was in a state of shock. I was terrified. They burst in holding screwdrivers. One held a screwdriver to my 'bump' and threatened me.
"He said, 'Open the till or I'll stab you'. I was in so much shock that I couldn't open the till. I was falling around and screaming. I nearly collapsed.
"The screwdriver was an inch away from my stomach. I have got a big bump so anyone can clearly see that I'm heavily pregnant.
"I had little niggling pains earlier in the week but they are very uncomfortable now. I haven't eaten much since and I have got pains in my back and in my side. I feel like I've gone into labour because of what happened. I'm going to the hospital to make sure that I'm ok because I've feel terrible. It's all I think about."
The two robbers made off with a watch worth £275 and a pair of Ray-Ban glasses which cost £260 – and £200 which was to pay for a little boy's nursery fees.
Katie has been left so traumatised by the robbery, on Wednesday, her boyfriend now guards the salon every day and her customers have helped her to get CCTV installed at the business.
The robbers both had their faces covered and were wearing dark hoodies. No arrests have been made.
Anyone with information should call Merseyside Police on 0151 777 3810 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Old photos are popping up on Facebook… and I guess I've always been a sign holder.
In kindergarten I went to Happy Valley Elementary School and I don't have that photo.
Here is 1st and 2nd grade at Larrabee Elementary School:
In 3rd grade, my mom and I moved out to Sudden Valley for a year so I didn't attend Larrabee that year. But I returned to the Fairhaven district for good in 4th and 5th grade:
That's right folks… EVERY SINGLE YEAR I held that damn sign and never once complained to my fellow classmates. Is that dedication or what… LOL
Thanks to Keith (Marvin) Moena and Darcy (Ireland) Abbott for helping compile these.

Dougal Allan (Ironman, Coast to Coast and Multisport)
After having been on the podium in the Coast to Coast five times in five years and travelling the world winning multisport races, Dougal re–invented himself as an Ironman distance athlete.

In the 2017 Challenge Wanaka Dougal set the bike course record (4:27) and a new race record (8:26).

Dougal has risen to the top of endurance sport because of his constant drive for learning and perfection, and continually challenging himself physically and mentally.
Will Routley (Road Cyclist)
"Will was one of the most dedicated and well-respected riders in the North American Peloton" (Rally Cycling, 2016 after his retirement). As a pro Will competed in two Commonwealth Games; won the King of the Mountains (and Stage 4) at the 2014 Amgen Tour of California, was the 2010 Canadian National Road Champ; and was 2nd overall in GP Liberty (Portugal) with a stage victory. Will was known for his outspokenness against doping in sport, challenging those who said "it was part of the sport" by saying that "all cyclists have a choice". He spoke up in the middle of his career, not caring about the consequences – too many cyclists were afraid to say anything (until their careers finished), and young athletes were being led to believe "it was part of the sport". Will Routley has been a true competitor & outstanding role model in endurance sport.

FAWU Supports NUM in Rejecting the Sale of ESKOM Finance Company
Oscar Thomas
07 March 2015
The National Union of Mineworkers said on Friday it would oppose any attempt by cash-strapped power utility Eskom to sell assets, especially its finance company which helps provide home loans to employees.
The Food and Allied Workers Union is in full support to the call made by NUM warning Eskom not to sell the Finance Company.
FAWU general secretary Katishi Masemola said workers in Eskom and includes the fact that a slae of Eskom Finance Company is nothing but a so-called unbundling project that will seek to lay the basis for Privatisation of Eskom.
Masemola said this Privatisation by the back-door, in a form of unbundling and on the basis of raising funds, will be resisted by FAWU and, we believe, other unions and civil society formations that reject the neo-liberal policy offensive by the State and state-owned enterprises.
Masemola said we will join hands with the NUM, National Union of Metalworkers and other unions serious and committed in fighting privatisation like COSATU did in the 1990s.
"We call on Government and Cabinet to veto this unbundling project and to cease pursuing privatisation through other means" Masemola added.

Should I Buy or Lease an Office Printer?
Leasing your office printer can make the right system far more affordable and offers flexibility to make amendments as your needs change without having to invest a lot of money upfront. While purchasing outright avoids the need to set up credit agreements, it can be a worse decision overall due to the quick depreciation of technological equipment.
The Benefits of Leasing Printers
One of the largest benefits is that leasing keeps your equipment up to date – computers and printers become obsolete eventually. When you have a leasing agreement, you can upgrade your equipment regularly so that you're not stuck with outdated printers and systems. For most businesses, this is the biggest benefit of leasing any tech equipment.
You'll also have predictable monthly outgoings with no need to pay a large amount upfront. A full printing system can cost thousands, if not tens of thousands, to set up – this cost is often prohibitive, especially for small businesses and start-ups.
The Benefits of Buying Printers
Buying can be simpler than leasing – there are no monthly payments, no credit agreements, and you just decide what you need and buy it. Mode, however, have brought the benefits of leasing into our own SIMPLE solution. There are no complex credit agreements with third parties, you make an agreement with Mode for our SIMPLE print solution. That means you only deal with us, and only need to speak to a single person about any aspect of your print agreement.
What's Best for Your Business
Every business is different. However, for our clients, using our SIMPLE product rather than leasing is the best way forward to maintain a consistent budget and up-to-date printing system. Just let us know about your business and your budgets, and we'll find a solution that suits you.
