Robin Hood
What can I say? I'm a fan. I always have been. The story of Robin Hood was one of my first inspirations. When I was a kid, I always wanted to run around the yard with my homemade bow (a slightly curved stick with a piece of kite string tied to either end) and play the rebel, the outlaw. All right, fine. Sometimes I still do that. The only difference is I can now afford slightly better weaponry. Not that anything has met its demise at my hands. Except that one lamp. And the corner of my desk. And that one spot on the wall in The Man's office. But other than that, I have done no harm.
So I thought today would be a perfect day (being 'R' day and all) to feature all things Robin Hood, more specifically books, television and movies. And I'm not going to talk about all of them. There's too much so this will be a limited (although it made not feel like it right now) list. As always, if I don't talk about your favorites (sorry, Errol Flynn but that picture's all you're gonna get), please feel free to admonish me in the comments.
Let's get started, shall we?
The King Raven Trilogy by Stephen Lawhead. This series includes the titles Hood, Scarlet, and Tuck. Scarlet is my personal favorite of the three and is told through the POV of Will Scarlet. In this series, Robin Hood is Bran ap Brychan, a Welshman hunted by the Normans who takes to the woods to save his life. This series is deep and dark and so gorgeously written. Hood was the first novel by Stephen Lawhead I'd ever read and it was good enough to turn me into a lifelong fan.
The Outlaw Chronicles by Angus Donald. Told through the POV of Alan a Dale. If Stephen Lawhead's series is dark then this series is just plain brutal. This is not a happy sing-song Robin Hood here. This is a man who, if crossed, will cut out your tongue before he cuts off your extremities. Angus Donald doesn't pull any punches in this series and it's awesome. It includes Outlaw, Holy Warrior, King's Man (which I am reading now) and the soon to be released Warlord. I liked these books so much that I was willing to order my copy of King's Man from England when I couldn't get a copy here in the good ole USA.
Lady of the Forest and Lady of Sherwood by Jennifer Roberson. I'm not going to write tons about these two novels but I just wanted to mention it because it's written by a woman and tells the Robin Hood legend from the POV of Maid Marion. The new cover makes it look like a real bodice ripping romance and it isn't. Both books are a good read.
In 2006, the BBC released this AWESOME reboot of the Robin Hood legend. Jonas Armstrong starred as the titular character. It lasted for three seasons. Fun fact: I wasn't sure I'd make it through the first episode because it's a little cheesy. And by 'a little', I mean a lot. But once you just embrace that fact, this show is just plain fun. Speaking of fun, I think Keith Allen (who played the Sheriff of Nottingham) had entirely too much playing his role. I always love it when he shows up on screen (yes, this show has made it into my repeated viewings rotation along with Firefly, Buffy and Veronica Mars.) And while the first season is a variable cornucopia of physic defying stunts and improbable escapes and plot lines, the second season took all that and added some drama. There's a big shocking death at the end of it that ensured that Season Two would remain ever my favorite. This series is available for instant viewing through Netflix.
Disney's Robin Hood. Released in 1973. Fun fact: this script had eight writers and if you have (or can get your hands on) the Most Wanted DVD edition of this movie, you can see the alternate ending where a wounded Robin Hood is about to be stabbed by Prince John when King Richard, home from the crusades, interrupts in the nick of time. It was deemed too dark and was hence changed.
Another Fun Fact: I've probably watched this movie at least 800 times. Maybe 8,000. It was a big, big hit in my family. I can still sing the songs. And sometimes do, much to the delight of everyone surrounding me at the time. I do apologize to the people on that airplane that time I flew over Nottingham. It's just... I was so excited to be that close. You understand, I'm sure.
Robin Hood: Men In Tights. Released in 1993. Directed by Mel Brooks and, according to IMDB, written by five people. I'm laughing just thinking about this movie. Cary Elwes (whom I adore in everything he does... and hey, he's guest starred on Psych too!) is a perfect Robin Hood in this most excellent spoof. Richard Lewis plays Prince John and you know what? The entire cast is perfect and I can't list them all. If you haven't seen this film, you really should. You'll love it. Unless you hate things that are funny. Then I can't help you.
My favorite line in all too quotable movie comes after Prince John asks why people should listen to Robin Hood and Robin answers, "Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent." (Kevin Costner, I'm looking at you.)
And to leave with you today, here's my favorite scene:

Hahaha, OMG I haven't seen this movie in well over a decade, and now I want to watch it again. My favorite bit was the rap, with the guys in the back doing ballet mixed with '90s hip-hop moves. And then at the end: "King Richard's on the throne and Robin's back in the hood..." :)ReplyDelete
I really do need to watch that movie again also.ReplyDelete
Happy A-Z April!
I LOVE Robin Hood. I've probable seen or read every single thing related to it. My favorite book though is The Outlaws of Sherwood by Robin McKinley. And I love the animated movie!!!ReplyDelete
Oh wow, I haven't seen Men In Tights in SO long! You have made my day by posting this video!ReplyDelete
You gotta love Men in Tights! It's been years since I saw that movie.ReplyDelete
YES YES YES YES YES...I love all things Robin Hood. And Errol Flynn actually is my favorite of the movies for sentimental reasons.ReplyDelete
I didn't know about The Outlaw Chronicles. Definitely have to check that out. And I started reading the Lawhead books backwards. I started with Tuck, which I think was a mistake. I'll have to go back and do it right.
The BBC series is awesome. And the Disney version was always one of my favorites. I'll look for Outlaw Chronicles - the books sound good.ReplyDelete
I've been using the new interface for a while, but now that everyone has switched, my pre-scheduled posts aren't posting.
Love Robin Hood. I put the Lawland Trilogy on my TBR list, sounds awesome. I actually enjoyed the Ridley Scott/Russell Crowe version of a few years ago.ReplyDelete
What else can you expect from the EVIL Blogger? First time in a week I felt even human and I open up to their nonsense. YUCK.
Outlaw Chronicles sounds great. I will definitely look for it. Robin Hood is everyone favorite hero/villain. Although I never thought of him as a bad guy, my teachers in school did. Thanks for doing Robin. Bish also did him on her post today. He deserves the recognition. *waving*ReplyDelete
Yes, the BBC one was great - I enjoyed it very much.ReplyDelete
Errol Flynn was so sexy in his tights, wasn't he? But the BBC series did it best. What a great R post!!! You made me laugh :-)ReplyDelete
LOL, I heart Men in Tights...so many great guest appearances (Tracy Ullman as Latrine)!ReplyDelete
That King Raven Trilogy seems promising!
Some Dark Romantic
Yeah, Prince of Thieves wasn't great, but it did have Sheriff Alan Rickman. His English accent was genuine.ReplyDelete
And I never saw the BBC reboot, but it's on streaming, you say? Then it certainly deserves a look.
Still, my favorite will probably always be Brooks/Elwes. "Let's get out of this ladies' clothing and get into our tights!"
I loved the Disney version as a kid so much!! Okay, the Kevin Costner version I loved as a young person but I re-watched it about a year ago and almost lost my lunch. ACK!!!!!! The only thing going for it was Alan Rickman. *Purrr*ReplyDelete
This post made me clap my hands with glee!!!ReplyDelete
Robin Hood (in all forms) has always been one of my favorite stories. And quite honestly, I still want to do very bad things with Kevin Costner!!
I, too, loved Robinhood but not enough to act it out myself. I used Barbie, Ken and G.I Joe for that.ReplyDelete
Disney's Robin Hood is still one of my absolute favorites! :DReplyDelete
You have obviously put a lot of time and effort into your posts! Robin Hood: Men in Tights is just so funny! I'm still partial to Errol Flynn tough.ReplyDelete
There was a TV series here in the UK back in the 50's (I think) with Richard Greene playing Robin, which I remember as as child. I loved it - and can still sing the theme song!ReplyDelete
they killed off robin hood in the tv series---how unusual--maybe i didn't read your blog correctly--i will go back and checkReplyDelete
You probably won't know this one, but there used to be a kids' TV series on the BBC called Maid Marian and her Merry Men (around 1990). It was written by and starred Tony Robinson (Baldrick in Blackadder), playing the Sheriff. In it, Marian kicked butt and Robin was the wimp. I think you'd like it - it featured as many incongrous details as possible (one of the Merry Men was a Rasta, for example). Used to love it!ReplyDelete
Oh. I wish you hadn't told me about all those books. I love the RH premise.ReplyDelete
Tried the BBC Hood a long time ago but for some reason we couldn't get any more episodes. Maybe I will check the library. My SIL is in love with the Sheriff guy.
I saw a clip of the X-Files yesterday and now I want to watch them again. Luckily the husband bought me the series on DVD a few years ago.
Love your post...as usual.
You gave me some ideas of books to look for when I visit BAM on Sunday with my 20% coupon.ReplyDelete
There was another robin hood show back in the 80's I think with Michael Praed. It was pretty good.ReplyDelete
and I'm with you on the new blogger. I was perfectly happy with the old.
You actually picked my two favorite Robin Hood movies. I've also added Hood to my Kindle, and I can't wait to dive in.ReplyDelete
It's been a while since I've seen a Robin Hood movie, but I always loved the story.ReplyDelete
The Disney Robin Hood is the one I grew up on, that and Men in Tights of course :) I'll have to check out that BBC one.ReplyDelete
I love Robin Hood. Since I was, like, 5, maybe. I don't know. The Disney Robin Hood has always been my favorite Disney movie.ReplyDelete
Lawhead is one of my favorite authors. I've read everything by him up to his latest series (I think), and The Skin Map is sitting here next to me. I didn't care as much for Tuck, but Hood and Scarlet are great!
I almost did Robin Hood as my R post. I'm glad you did. The character and story is just so awesome... the world wouldn't be the same without it.ReplyDelete

Have the Disney version of Robin Hood. Cute Disney movie.ReplyDelete
Love Robin Hood! The Disney Version is fantastic, though I must admit I'm also partial to "Prince of Thieves." :)ReplyDelete
I love Robin Hood and loved the series that BBC did. I was also a huge fan of the Michael Praed series from the 80's. One of my fave Robin Hood books is Gayle Feyre's The Thief's Mistress, told from the POV of Marian.ReplyDelete
And hell to the yeah on the Disney Robin hood. I LOVE that movie. :)
First, I've been using the "new" Blogger format since September, so whenever anyone refers to it, I think there are big changes that I haven't seen yet and then I freak out a little until I remember I got it before most of the rest of the blogging world.ReplyDelete
Anyway, I've always loved the Robin Hood legend, but for some reason I've never read any of the books and I just couldn't get into the series. But I'll give it a try since you say it's that good.

I didn't attend the protests over US right-wing shock jock Ann Coulter's meeting at University of Ottawa on Tuesday night -- I was at the book launch for the new Canadian edition of Ian Angus's book, The Global Fight for Climate Justice (congratulations, Ian) -- but I wonder if there isn't an important lesson for the left in the public uproar over "free speech" that has erupted in the wake of Coulter's cancellation of her appearance.
Briefly, for those who haven't seen the extensive coverage in the Canadian press, Coulter was invited by the campus Conservative club to address a public meeting as part of her three-city tour sponsored by the ultraright "International Free Press Society". This society is headed by Ezra Levant, a former Tory MP who once republished the infamous Danish anti-Mohammed cartoons in an obscure on-line publication. Angered by reports of Coulter's racist, Islamophobic, homophobic and just plain reactionary views -- she's a commentator on Fox News -- the University student union moved to prohibit posters advertising the meeting and called on the university to ban Coulter's appearance. A Facebook group was formed to urge readers to attend and disrupt the talk, but also to sign a petition "to ban Ann Coulter from our campus". It was publicized by, among others, the International Socialists.
The University did not ban the meeting, but its vice-president academic and provost, François Houle, sent Coulter an email warning her that under Canada's criminal and defamation laws she should be mindful not to make herself liable for "promoting hatred" against an "identifiable group". Whatever his intentions -- the letter could, on its face, be construed as sound legal advice -- Houle's message, not the criminal legislation itself, was seized on by a range of right-wing commentators as an infringement of "free speech". In this polarized atmosphere, between one and two thousand students showed up to protest Coulter's speech, most of them unable to make their way into the meeting room which could accommodate only 400. Coulter's organizers then cancelled her appearance, citing "security" concerns. Student federation president Seamus Wolfe was exultant: "I'm proud students came together to prevent Ann Coulter -- someone who has constantly waded well into the territory of hate speech -- from using a public institution as a soapbox to spread her vile message," he was reported as saying.
The right wing lost no time in turning the incident into an attack on the left and progressive causes, all in the name of "free speech". Typical is the lead editorial in today's Ottawa Citizen, entitled "Mob rules at the U of O". It cites "the spectacle at the University of Ottawa" as an example of the "thuggery of student activists... a growing problem at Canadian campuses". As examples of what it termed "totalitarianism on Canadian campuses", the editorial cited a protest at Montréal's Concordia University that "prevented Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu from speaking", and alleged harassment of "pro-life student groups". And, of course, the recent week of activities on the city's campuses sponsored by Students Against Israeli Apartheid was mentioned -- although in the editorial's version, "no one threatened to assault the organizers or disrupt the event." In fact, last year the administration at Carleton University banned the poster advertising that event, and university and government officials across Canada have harassed students and others who are critical of Israel.
These "free speech" protests are sheer hypocrisy. Where was the Ottawa Citizen, or all the other right-wing defenders of "free speech", when British MP George Galloway was banned by the government from entering Canada for an antiwar speaking tour? Or just last week, when Palestinian MP Mustafa Barghouti was denied a visa to attend anti-Zionist events in Canada? Or the recent government funding cuts to church groups and rights organizations that have assisted Palestinians or been critical of Israel's policies? As Globe & Mail columnist Lawrence Martin notes today (in an exception to most of the news coverage of the U of O incident), for the Tory government, "freedom of expression depends on the type of expression". It's OK for an Ann Coulter. But not for many others, including government officials and whistle-blowing civil servants who don't toe the government's line. Martin cited a whole series of such incidents. The Coulter incident, in fact, gave the real censors of free speech and transparency a pretext to pass themselves off as democrats when the reality is quite otherwise.
I think it was inspiring to find so many students willing to protest the views of Coulter and her Conservative friends. But, for what it's worth, I think the student union and its supporters should have given more thought to the message they wished to convey. The same student leaders have in recent years had to fight for their right to speak out on the campuses and elsewhere in opposition to Israeli Apartheid and in defense of other progressive causes. Why should they place themselves in a position to be portrayed as opponents of the free speech of others? It is one thing to protest the content of Coulter's message, another to call on the university or other authorities to ban her meeting. An effective protest might have included, in addition to the protest outside, an organized attempt to ensure critical attendance at the meeting, where her views could be confronted and challenged.
And we need to be wary of legal restrictions on speech such as the "hate propaganda" provisions in the Criminal Code. More often than not, they will be used against the left, not the right. Hate-propaganda bans give the state further weapons in criminalizing dissent -- as we see when the likes of Jason Kenney, Canada's Immigration minister, threaten to use it against the campaign for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel.

Firsthand Experience | Day 2
Secondhand Knowledge vs. Firsthand Experience
There's a big difference between secondhand knowledge and firsthand experience.
Ever since I was a little girl, I have always been fascinated by the Grand Canyon. I read books about the Grand Canyon. I learned about the power of the Colorado River as it tears through the rock and continues to carve out the canyon. I watched videos about the Grand Canyon. I even watched the episode of the Brady Bunch when they go to the Grand Canyon multiple times!
I knew a lot about the Grand Canyon, but up until last year, I had never experienced it for myself even though I had pestered Kerry about it for years. Last year we were at a conference in Phoenix and I convinced Kerry to drive up to the Grand Canyon for the day so I could at least stand on the rim for a few minutes.
Nothing could have prepared me for what it was like to actually walk up to the rim of the Grand Canyon it and look out over the incredible expanse that God created. I was completely overwhelmed by the beauty, majesty, and the enormity of it all! I had a lot of secondhand knowledge about the Grand Canyon but now I was having a firsthand experience.
In the same way, you can know a lot about God and have a lot of secondhand knowledge about what God is like. You can even know the Bible through and through. The real question, however is, have you experience God firsthand? Do you have a firsthand relationship with Jesus?
After Job lost everything in a time of testing and then God restored and blessed him even greater than before Job was able to realize his greatest blessing was a firsthand relationship with God.
Today's verse to meditate on is Job 42:5 (MSG). "I admit I once lived by rumors of you; now I have it all firsthand."
The following is an excerpt from Firsthand: Ditching Secondhand Religion for a Faith of Your Own by Ryan and Josh Shook.
The most important thing to know about a more personal faith is just how personal God is. We like to put it this way: a firsthand faith starts with realizing what is written on God's hands. Look at what God says in Isaiah 49:15–16: "I will not forget you. I have engraved you on the palms of my hands" (God's Word).
In the original context, God was talking to the people of Judah who were going to come back to Him from their exile in Babylon. But it's also true for all prodigal sons and daughters, anyone who is feeling exiled or separated from Him. Even you.
Just think about it for a moment. The God who created the galaxies and the infinite universe has written your name on the palm of His hands! God knows your name. God knows every detail of your life. He knows the deepest longings of your heart. He knows your darkest secrets, your greatest fears, and your unspoken dreams. And He's crazy about you! He cares deeply about every personal detail of your life.
He didn't just doodle your name on a heavenly scratch pad—He engraved your name on His skin. God has a perma- nent tattoo of your name on His hands.
The God who has your name tattooed on His hands wants you to experience a firsthand faith so much that He came to this earth and stretched out His hands to willingly take the nails of our selfishness and sin.
Our whole aim in writing this book is to show you that there's so much more to Christianity than living by someone else's faith. More, too, than being good, going to church, or following the rules. It's about a relationship with the One who fed five thousand hungry people—people just like you and me. It's about quenching your thirst at the Source.
Jesus is the Living Water.
However, if you're looking for six easy steps to happiness, you won't find them in these pages. Life is way more complex than any of us will ever be able to comprehend. So we don't claim to have all the answers. We do, however, invite you to journey with us across the bridge of faith—from a childhood faith to a grown-up, real, firsthand faith.
We spent years living with a faith that was partly our own but mostly someone else's. You don't have to.
Starting now, you can begin to make your life with God a very real, very personal, and absolutely motivating experience. After all, according to the dictionary definition, the word firsthand means "direct from the original source."
That's the kind of life you were created for, the only kind that lasts, and the only kind Jesus came to give.

We propose a novel external force for active contours, which we call neighborhood-extending and noise-smoothing gradient vector flow (NNGVF). The proposed NNGVF snake expresses the gradient vector flow (GVF) as a convolution with a neighborhood-extending Laplacian operator augmented by a noise-smoothing mask. We find that the NNGVF snake provides better segmentation than the GVF snake in terms of noise resistance, weak edge preservation, and an enlarged capture range. The NNGVF snake accomplishes this with a reduced computational cost while maintaining other desirable properties of the GVF snake, such as initialization insensitivity and good convergences at concavities. We demonstrate the advantages of NNGVF on synthetic and real images.

1. Introduction
D uring the last two decades, variational and PDE-based methods for image segmentation and analysis have become standard tools [1]. Active contours or snakes which have deeply influenced variational approaches to image segmentation since their introduction [2] are curves that can conform to object boundaries or other image features under the influence of internal and external forces [2]. Generally, active contours can be categorized as parametric snakes [2] or as geometric snakes [3–5] according to their representation. Parametric snakes require an explicit representation while geometric snakes are defined implicitly. Here, we show how to construct an effective external force for parametric active contour models that can also be integrated into geometric active contours using a level set formulation [4].
Since the external force defines the evolution of an active contour, many external force models have been proposed [5–14]. Among these, the gradient vector flow (GVF) [10] has been most successful, as it provides a large capture range and the ability to capture concavities by diffusing the gradient vectors of an edge map generated from the image. Although the GVF model has proved effective and has widely been used in image segmentation, it has some disadvantages, such as a high computational cost, substantial noise sensitivity, and an inability to capture and preserve weak edges. Various improved models based on the GVF have been developed. For example, generalized gradient vector flow [11], harmonic gradient vector flow [12], motion gradient vector flow [13] and generalized dynamic directional gradient vector flow [14], but none of these are able to resolve all of the problems mentioned above.
We propose a novel external force for active models, called neighborhood-extending and noise-smoothing gradient vector flow (NNGVF), which incorporates a neighborhood-extended Laplacian operator mask and modifies the mask by adding a noise-smoothing mask. The proposed NNGVF snake outperforms the GVF snake in terms of computation, capture range, noise resistance, and weak edge preserving ability, while maintaining other desirable properties of the GVF snake such as initialization insensitivity and good convergence at concavities.
2. Background
2.1. Snakes: active contours
where Fint = αcss(s)-βcssss(s) and Fext = -∇Eext. The internal force Fint forces the snake contour to be smooth while the external force Fext attracts the snake to the desired image features.
2.2. GVF: gradient vector flow external force
where ∇2 is the Laplacian operator.
3. NNGVF snakes
3.1. Extended neighborhood
3.2. Decomposition of the Laplacian operator
In this model, the AP filter is the 2D linear identity (do-nothing) filter, while the RM filter is a 2D low-pass filter. The difference yields high-frequency components over a large area. Since the purpose of the AP filter is to estimate the image at the center pixel, but is highly sensitive to noise [17], it is advisable to replace the AP filter with a better designed filter that can augment edge-preservation and noise robustness.
3.3. The proposed NNGVF external force
In (11), NS24 and RM24 are 5 × 5 masks, which make use of larger areas of image information. Since the convolution is used in (11), the computational cost of NNGVF is greatly reduced relative to GVF.
4. Experimental results
Next, we demonstrate some desirable properties of the NNGVF snake and compare the performances of the NNGVF and GVF snakes. Since NNGVF is an improvement over GVF, we focus primarily on some common concerns encountered in snake-based image segmentation, which include (1) capture range enlargement and U-shape convergence, (2) weak edge preservation, (3) noise robustness, and (4) real images. The parameters for all snakes in our experiments are α = 0.1, β = 0 and time step τ = 1. The weight μ for the GVF and NNGVF snakes is set to 0.15 in all experiments unless otherwise stated.
4.1. Capture range enlargement and U-shape convergence
4.2. Weak edge preserving
4.3. Noise robustness
4.4. Real images
5. Conclusion
We proposed a novel external force called NNGVF for active contours. The NNGVF snake deploys the GVF as a convolution operation using a neighborhood-extending Laplacian mask, modifying the mask to improve noise-smoothing, yields a good performance in terms of capture range, weak edge preservation, and noise robustness while maintaining the other desirable properties of GVF, such as initialization insensitivity and good convergence at concavities. The experimental results showed that the NNGVF snake outperforms the GVF snake in terms of computation as well.

Delaney has reluctantly resigned himself to a future away from the midlands club who have given him no indication that they will meet the March 1 deadline to extend his stay. That would mean the Welsh international would be entitled to leave on a free transfer in the summer but O´Leary wants the 29-year-old to stay at Villa whom he joined from Cardiff seven years ago.
O´Leary told PA Sport: "Nothing has been said but I want the boy to stay, without a doubt. Any time he has played in general he has done very well for me. I´ve given my recommendation - and I´m sure the club will make the right recommendation as well."

Almonds Part II !
I want to start today's post by telling you a story from Greek mythology about how almonds came to be. There once was a beautiful maiden Phyllis, queen of Thrace, who was about to be married to her intended Demophon. She went to the altar and waited and waited, but he never came. She thought he had abandoned her, but he was delayed on his way home from battle. Phyllis waited for years and years for Demophon to return, but finally died of a broken heart. To show sympathy, the gods transformed Phyllis into an almond tree, as a symbol of hope. Finally the remorseful Demonphon returned only to find Phyllis as a leafless, flowerless tree. He embraced it and the tree suddenly burst into bloom, a demonstration of love not conquered by death.
Isn't that beautiful? I love it. I can't wait to plant my own almond tree in the backyard - a symbol of hope, constancy and enduring love. And the best part is that I get to eat ALMONDS from it in a few years!!
If you like almonds as much as I do (or want to like them as much as I do), here's a few more links that might be helpful to you:

I have to share a funny experience (that's completely off topic) that we had. We have family night every Monday night where we teach our children a lesson, have a family activity and then a treat. Well for the lesson a few weeks ago my husband was trying to teach the boys about how to make their prayers more meaningful. He excused himself from the room saying that he had to get something for the lesson. Then from the other room he called up my phone and asked for one of the boys. Then he said, "Hi is this C? Hi this is Daddy. How are you doing? Oh ok bye." And hung up without waiting for them to answer. He repeated this several times with each of the boys until finally they didn't even want to answer the phone anymore.
Then he came in from the other room and we talked about how to make our prayers more meaningful and think about what we are saying instead of repeating the same thing over and over again. Then he said, "What would it be like if we called up Grandpa on the phone and repeated that same thing over and over again each time?" They answered with things like, "He wouldn't like it", "It would be boring" etc. We finished talking about the lesson and had the rest of the family night.
Well the funny thing about this story happened just this past Saturday. We ended up taking a last minute trip to visit Brandon's parents to be there for a family event that was happening. It's a four-hour drive to visit them and we were only there a few hours before we had to turn around and go home. On the drive C said, "Why don't we stay longer, Dad?" Brandon explained to him that we had to get back for school and work on Monday so we couldn't stay. Then C said, "But aren't we just doing what you said not to do in that lesson?" We're pretty much just going, "Hi Grandpa, how are you doing? Oh good? Okay bye."
We laughed and laughed about that. He had a great point and we wished we could have stayed longer, but it was a wonderful time, nonetheless. It's so funny what kids pick up on even when you don't realize they're listening!
Back to the topic, I hope you all enjoy another week of almonds. If you're tired of them already, I'll try to include a few other interesting things this week as well. I'd love to hear about your favorite almond recipes, so leave me a comment or send me an e-mail!

Hello, DIY glitter glasses.
So sparkly! The blue one is mine, because it was my learning glass... and there is also a red one not pictured here. The problem with Ann-Marie 'DIY' is that it's MacGyver'd to whatever I have in the house; it's not Pinterest compatible you might say. Luckily I totally had Martha Stewart glitter anyways but all the blogs I've read on this project have included something called Mod Podge and 'curing it' with sealing spray paint. Ain't nobody got time for that.
What did I use?
- glitter
- school glue
- OPI nail polish top coat
BAM. Done.
Note: the top coat smell will give you a little headache not going to lie.
What happens the first wine night? Everyone had glitter in their wine and the FIRST thing I think of is "awesome, we'll literally be pissing glitter later!" Is there anything more crafty than that? I mean, yes, probably doing the whole project properly and dishwasher safe blah blah. Isn't my way a little better though? Adds little fun I think. I do it half wrong but it always looks so good, so who cares?
Every teacher I ever had just shed a collective tear. I'm sorry.

PageOne.com says: Judge Wingate Creates Huge Conflict Of Interest
July 14th, 2014 ·
Excerpt from PageOneKentucky.com
A better title might be: Instant Racing Judge: "No Big Deal, My Son Got Hired By A Race Track's Law Firm In The Case And There's Nothing You Can Do About It"
Hold on to your instant racing case hats, ladies, cause the Honorable Judge Thomas Wingate has created an appearance of impropriety to rival nearly everything we've seen in months.
On April 30, Wingate, who is hearing the big instant racing case (Family Foundation vs. Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, Kentucky Department of Revenue, Appalachian Racing, Churchill Downs, Ellis Park, Keeneland Association, Kentucky Downs, Lexington Trots Breeders Association, Players Bluegrass Downs and Turfway Park), filed a sue sponte order that blows our minds.
Here's the deal:
Stoll Keenon Ogden represents some of the tracks in the case. Judge Wingate's son, who is a first year law student, got hired to work in their Frankfort office. Wingate says it's no big deal, there's no conflict, nothing to see here, move along, and filed the order.

Car dealers play an important intermediary role in the promotion of brand equity and sale of a particular brand of cars. In the process, they build up the reputation and contribute towards the growth of the company's market share. In India, the role of car dealers was limited to a mere selling of cars that has undergone a substantial change in the recent times with dealers emerging as an important point of connect between the company and the customers for the cars. Car dealers of todays are expected to act as a catalyst to promote the sales of a car. At the first instance, car dealers are to have a good collection of cars. Car dealership depends on availability of the brand new cars and the location of the showroom.

Recycled Water for Fish and Other Desal Alternatives
Wes Sims, KUSP News, 02/22/13
Podcast: Download (mp3)
It might seem ironic that the most visible symbol of the Santa Cruz Water Department is not the San Lorenzo River, from which the city's drinking water is drawn. But it's the tanks and towers of the city's waste water treatment plant at Neary Lagoon. Jim Bentley, a former superintendent for water production for the city hopes the treated waste water could contribute to a solution to Santa Cruz's water supply problem.
"The water leaving a tertiary waste water treatment plant, that removes all the solids, that removes nitrogen, it's put out in the ocean a very clear looking water, disinfected, there would be very low coliform count in it," Bentley says.
Currently the city's plant does not achieve a tertiary degree of treatment, and using waste water for drinking purposes is illegal. But the city of Santa Cruz does have a legal obligation to provide adequate water for threatened fish. Recently regulators increased the amount of water the city would have to leave in to river for fish during a drought. Bentley believes waste water added downstream from the municipal water supply can meet the habitat obligation. This is one of the sources he hopes the city can use instead of desalination.
"The city has a three-legged, that's the city's words, theirs is a three-legged stool based on curtailment, conservation, and desalination," Bentley says." Well, we have a multi-legged stool. We would expect more conservation than the city's asking for right now."
The Challenge for the SCWD: A 2-Year Drought
Leading the push for desalination is Santa Cruz Water Director Bill Kocher. He's forged a joint operating agreement with the Soquel Creek Water District for a desalination plant that would address Soquel's over-drafted groundwater basin, and the big issue that's driving the narrative for Santa Cruz: the threat of a two-year drought. Kocher says if Santa Cruz were to go through another drought like 1976 and 77, the average homeowner would have to cut water usage by half during the second year.
"We're not particularly worried about winter," Kocher says."But we're worried about a 210-day period in the summer in droughts. And so we need a project that will give us water when we need water."
Measure P organizer Rick Longinotti questions the process.
"The city of Santa Cruz in 2005 set on desalination as their preferred options," he says. " And since that time they haven't spent any time or money investigating alternatives, and so we're trying to re-open that discussion."
Cutting Back Earlier
Longinotti says the city's worst case scenario is based on an operations policy in which there is no attempt to cut back on water usage during normal or mildly dry years, or maintain an adequate backup supply in Loch Lomond Reservoir.
Longinotti hopes to : "turn the city's attention more to what can be done instead of desalination."
Bentley: "We would also suggest that the city's water customers are willing to do more curtailment than the city is expecting of them."
When the city asks, residents use less water. Longinotti says last year, when the city asked for restrictions, residents saved enough so that if a severe drought had begun this year the city would have started about fourteen hundred acre feet ahead of its worst case scenario. That's about what the city hopes to produce in a drought with a desalination plant. Longinotti notes the desal plan ignores potential supply from a multi-district water network under consideration.
Santa Cruz Water Director Bill Kocher says the city has considered its options and a desalination plant is the only plan that meets its needs.
"We've looked at the environmental implications, we've looked at cost," Kocher says." We've looked at ways we can minimize and mitigate environmental impacts, including marine issues, including energy, greenhouse gas emissions cost."
The next step for the City of Santa Cruz is an environmental impact report. If that is certified by the end of the year, voters could decide the issue the following year. Kocher expects the earliest a desalination plant could be producing water would be 2016.

Friends often laugh at my assortment of coffee table books, as most would keep my collection closer to the kitchen. While most pile up art and design books, filled with gorgeous photos and fascinating anecdotes, my table tops hold an assortment of cookbooks with photos and stories just as sensational, if not more so.
I've recently fallen for 'Wholesome Kitchen' with lip-smackingly scrumptious recipes by Ross Dobson and photography by Peter Cassidy that is positively flavorful!
The book boasts recipes made with 'beans, lentils, grains and other natural foods' …which could run the risk of sounding too 'health food' and less 'food food.' Let's be clear – this is not a health food cookbook, or a diet book, or a fad. This is a collection of delicious meals, sides, soups, snacks and desserts that you will be drawn to week after week. Yes, the book is based around wholesome ingredients …but, shouldn't all meals?
Granted, I type that as I polish off the last of Johnny's Easter basket (a holiday we don't even celebrate, mind you, but who could live on this planet without receiving an Easter basket each year?). But, when it comes to real meals, focusing the ingredient list around beans, lentils and grains is a good way to go. Especially for vegetarians, which I often pretend to be – hey, sometimes a girl can't resist a good slice of bacon.
Although there are several meat recipes throughout this book – ones in which the author stresses the importance of getting 'good' meats (no antibiotics, humanely treated, grass-fed, sustainable, etc.) – many of the recipes don't include animal proteins. But, before you carnivores go discounting this book, realize that many of these yummy dishes are things like 'spicy cornbread' or 'cilantro fritters' or 'risotto' …items that wouldn't really call for meat anyway. Thus, it's not removing ingredients, it's simply providing a recipe that wouldn't include them anyway.
For you meat lovers, the meaty recipes in this book are exciting and unique. This is not just steak and potatoes, this is luscious marinades and bright, fresh accompaniments that leave the dish succulent and satisfying.
There's also a lovely collection of sweets. Everything from your typical fare, like banana bread, to dishes that provide a little more flair.
I found my copy at a big box book shop, but it's available online and it's wonderful. The photography is mouth-watering in its own right, the recipes are simple to execute and extremely flavorful and packed with good-for-you goodies.
What's your favorite cookbook?

Limited space, unfavorable patient positioning, disturbing ambient noise - even though endotracheal intubation is regarded as the gold standard for airway management, it is still often hampered in preclinical emergency medicine by adverse external circumstances. To check the ideal positioning of the endotracheal tube, a clear indication of carbon dioxide during respiration is helpful. The CO2 detector CapnoDura Combi offers precisely this and makes the expiration of CO2 visible!
Mounted directly on the tube, the CapnoDura Combi reliably measures the CO2 values during respiration for up to 24 hours - both for manual ventilation using a ventilation bag and as an ideal supplement to WEINMANN Emergency ventilators, such as MEDUMAT Easy CPR. Thanks to the color scale which is colored according to the amount of CO2 exhaled, the CapnoDura provides quick information on CO2 exhalation for both adults and children.
• Simple handling
• Quick to understand measurement results thanks to the color scale
• Can be used for up to 24 hours
• Suitable for use on both adults and children (as of a body weight of 10 kg)

To Be Updated as the Recital Nears
will keep recital even more short and sweet than usual and extremely
streamline the dress rehearsal so that the kids can get home at a very
reasonable time. Most kids will be out of school by the 30th, but some
may still have school on the 31st. This date shouldnt conflict with
graduations or end of the year school programs (I know some of you were
worried about the craziness of scheduling in the spring.)
The recital fee is
$30 per childwhich
allows us to rent the theatre and not sell tickets. Once the fees
are paid, THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS.

Wide Eyed Fools
Here's a nice idea to support your local independent record store – In-Stores Across America. I can attest that the in-stores at Soundscapes here in Toronto rank very high on the cool-event-o-meter.
My copy of Bettie Serveert's Log 22 arrived yesterday. It's less polished and more eclectic than its predecessor Private Suit, maintaining the requisite amounts of fuzz. An interesting contrast with the new Cardigans album – one band has dived headlong into mature sophistication, the other… not so much. This is not a slight, just and observation.
Luna bassist Britta Phillips (who I think would be a definite write-in candidate for the Playboy poll…) is auctioning off some memorabilia from 80s cartoon Jem & The Holograms. Why? Cause she was the voice of Jem, dammit! She was also in the best-forgotten 80s rock flick Satisfaction with Justine Bateman from Family Ties, but that's not as cool. But if it was JASON Bateman, that'd be a different bag of toffee altogether. Anyone remember that sitcom It's Your Move? My cousin was in love with him on that show. Taped every episode.
Coffee. I should be reconsidering my position on coffee.

Nobody Tells This To People Who Are Beginners…
I am going to keep this month's blog post short and sweet because this image already says more than I could in 500 words.
When I joined Career Girl Network last June as one of its five interns, Marcy Twete and Kathi Toll encouraged us to create vision boards. This exercise let us transform our goals and dream jobs from abstract daydreams to concrete possibilities.
Since none of us were especially gifted in the arts and crafts department, we used Pinterest to make digital collages of who we were and who we wanted to become. Almost ten months later, I still add pins to my vision board whenever I come across an image or a quote that inspires me to keep trying at the end of the day.
The quote shown above struck a chord with me when I first saw it, and it continues to have an impact on my life. As a so-called millennial, my generation tends to think, "If I am not immediately great at something, then what is the point of pursing it?"
We expect the best results with the least amount of effort, which is why it is tough when we invest hours of our time into projects we are actually passionate about, only to have them blow up in our faces.
Ira Glass, host and producer of This American Life, reminds all of us why we choose to work in a certain field in the first place and that trying and failing and trying again is better than simply trying and quitting.
Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it's just not that good. It's trying to be good. It has potential but it's not. But your taste – that thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn't have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your will be as good as your ambitions.
