Creamy, buttery Mashed Potatoes is a must on every table whether it's for the holidays or a weeknight meal. You can't go wrong with potatoes, butter, cream, and salt. A simple side that can be prepped ahead of time.
The holidays are around the corner and Mashed Potatoes are a must on the menu. I grew up with two different versions of Mashed Potatoes. Both are delicious but each unique in its own way.
Dad's is the typical smooth or sometimes slightly lumpy version with butter, milk, salt and always served with gravy. Want to read a funny story about Mashed Potatoes and gravy? Read my Peruvian Hot Chocolate post!
Mom's Peruvian version is creamy, smooth and slightly loose with no gravy required. Delicious! Instead, it is served with rice and mixed with the potato with every bite. Right now I will concentrate on Dad's version.
The trick to making great Mashed Potatoes is to cook the potatoes until fork tender, drain, then add back into the saucepan over medium heat to dry them out. This not only removes excess water from the potatoes, as you stir them you break them up making it easier to mash when adding the cream and butter. Less water means more cream and butter are absorbed by the potatoes.
If you over boiled your potatoes, check out my post for How to Fix Over Boiled Potatoes.
I usually cook 5 – 6 pounds of potatoes for my family gatherings. I always feel it's better to have a little too much than not enough. Any leftovers can be reheated in a saucepan with some milk or cream. I prefer using cream when making Mashed Potatoes. Cream adds richness, depth, and flavor. Stir the milk or cream until potatoes are heated through and add another pad of butter, if desired.
Another way to use up leftovers is to make Potato Pancakes. My husband introduced me to this treat. His father would make them for him when he was a kid. Funny how food plays an important part in our family memories. He said his Dad would take out his big Lodge cast iron pan that was perfectly seasoned, add butter to the pan, form patties with the leftover mashed potatoes, and fry them for a few minutes on each side until browned. They are crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Delicious and a hit with the kids.
If you are like me and want to get as many things done before company arrives, here are some tips:
You can peel the potatoes the night before, cut into even slices – about 3/4″ – and place in a saucepan with cold salted water. Store in the refrigerator overnight. Next day, boil and continue with recipe.
Peel the potatoes, rinse them, slice, and place in a large saucepan with cold salted water and continue with recipe. Then coat the top with some cream without stirring. Place the pan into a skillet larger than your saucepan and add some hot water. Set the heat to low. Place the cover slightly askew. I sometimes place my wooden spoon on top of the pan and place cover on top. The water will heat up and keep the mashed potatoes warm until ready to serve. I would only recommend this for an hour or two. As long as the water is hot – not boiling – your Mashed Potatoes will stay hot without burning. When ready to serve, stir and plate.
I like to top the Mashed Potatoes with an additional pad or two of butter just for presentation. My family and I always fight for the first serving with the melted butter. I always see my youngest eyeing for that first scoop.
I hope you make these Mashed Potatoes and serve them at your next gathering.
If you have any leftovers, try the Potato Pancakes. They won't disappoint.
Be happy, eat well…
Perfect Mashed PotatoesPrint Recipe Pin Recipe
- 3 pounds russet potatoes
- 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups light cream or half and half
- 1 stick butter sliced into 1" pieces
- Kosher salt to taste
- Peel the potatoes then rinse under cold water. Cut into even sized slices - about 3/4" - then place in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water with at least 1" above potatoes.
- Add 2 tablespoons of kosher salt to water. Bring to a boil and continue to gently boil for 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Meanwhile, heat the cream or half and half in microwave for 30 seconds until warmed. Alternatively, heat cream or half and half in small saucepan until warmed.
- Drain and return potatoes to saucepan over medium heat. Stir with wooden spoon to cook off excess moisture for about a minute. This not only dries potatoes, but starts to break them up for easy mashing.
- Stir in 1 1/4 cups cream and add butter. Mash until smooth. Add remainder of cream for creamier texture.
- Stir in additional kosher salt to your taste.
- Serve with an additional pad or two of butter if you like.

Types of Retainers
The "traditional" Hawley retainer is made of rigid colored acrylic and wire. The acrylic rests on the inside of your teeth while a wire wraps around the outside to hold teeth in proper alignment. These retainers last for a long time and small adjustments can be made if minor tooth relapse occurs.
Invisible "Essix" retainers are made of a clear plastic material that has been custom molded to your teeth after the braces have been removed. While not as long as "traditional" retainers, they can last for years if cared for as instructed. These can also be used as whitening/bleaching trays.
Bonded "permanent" retainers can be used on one or both arches. They are generally bonded to the inside of the front teeth. This type of retainer is especially helpful in a case of severely crooked or crowded teeth, or to keep large gaps from opening back up. Hygiene requires extra attention.
Retention Protocol
Our office retainer protocol is to wear retainers full-time for the first 1-2 months.
After that time, you should plan on wearing your retainers EVERY NIGHT for the next 1-2 years during which time Dr. Garrett will be monitoring your retention. After monitored retention, you will "graduate" and further retainer wear will be instructed at this time. As current literature suggests, tooth movement occurs throughout life, so Dr. Garrett will most likely recommend wearing retainers "Nighttime for a Lifetime".
Teeth can begin shifting back to their original position immediately, especially within the first year after removing your braces. If you lose your removable retainer or if your fixed retainer comes loose in any area please contact the office as soon as possible. Prompt action can help prevent further shifting and help maintain a beautiful smile.

I told How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM) to go back to its roots and stop forcing the cute but uninteresting and not properly included in the show's canvas Zoe character on us viewers. Instead, what did they do? They keep rubbing Zoe in our face – she and Ted are dating now, what a surprise. But no hints on whether or not Zoe is The Mother – is it really so difficult to give so much as a hint?! One measly hint, just to make it interesting?! After all, that's what made the show famous in the first place. But no, there are no clues. As there are no explanations as to why Zoe divorced her husband, what she does for a living (she was a trophy/activist wife fully supported by her husband, wasn't she?), and why Ted is so crazy about her (which, actually, we don't even know if he is!).
HIMYM's creators are trying to save the day with guest stars – yes, I'm talking about Katy Perry in Oh Honey – but it is not working, or at least I didn't buy it. I don't care about some naive babe with big boobs whom we'll never see again. And they keep forcing Barney's struggles about not-knowing-but-maybe-finally-meeting-his father. Come on, just make it happen already, or drop this storyline – nobody's crazy about it anyway. Oh, what a bunch of wusses. And we're forced to continue watching Marshall's struggle with the death of his father – what's all these father issues in HIMYM lately, anyway? Frankly, I'm getting pretty tired of all this family-soul-searching overload.
All this crap with redirecting the show from what made it successful to some uninteresting stuff we are forced to watch without even caring is making one of my favorite shows meek, sugary, and increasingly irrelevant. Strike two, HIMYM!

Conventional functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technique known as gradient-recalled echo (GRE) echo-planar imaging (EPI) is sensitive to image distortion and degradation caused by local magnetic field inhomogeneity at high magnetic fields. Non-EPI sequences such as spoiled gradient echo and balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) have been proposed as an alternative high-resolution fMRI technique; however, the temporal resolution of these sequences is lower than the typically used GRE-EPI fMRI. One potential approach to improve the temporal resolution is to use compressed sensing (CS). In this study, we tested the feasibility of k-t FOCUSS—one of the high performance CS algorithms for dynamic MRI—for non-EPI fMRI at 9.4T using the model of rat somatosensory stimulation. To optimize the performance of CS reconstruction, different sampling patterns and k-t FOCUSS variations were investigated. Experimental results show that an optimized k-t FOCUSS algorithm with acceleration by a factor of 4 works well for non-EPI fMRI at high field under various statistical criteria, which confirms that a combination of CS and a non-EPI sequence may be a good solution for high-resolution fMRI at high fields.

Seven years ago, I was diagnosed with serious heart defects. In those years I have endured countless visits to the doctor for exams and tests. I have been on medications with severe side effects. And I have fought depression. I have lived two years beyond what was expected.
Through it all I have managed to get out with a camera. I think photography has actually prolonged my life. I'm still excited when I get a chance to shoot. This week I was scheduled to have a test done at the request of our local hospital's transplant team. I was told it would give them a better idea if I needed to be put on a heart transplant list.
A few days before the test I went out with a camera. Oddly, I ended up at our city's main cemetery. The cemetery is very beautiful and is frequented by many photographers. I found this building and pondered the words above the door, "Receiving Vault." I thought, do they still use this to receive bodies? The word "Receiving" seemed so sterile as if it was some sort of office. I took my one frame. And I had my test. It went well. My heart is stronger than they thought. I was not placed on a transplant list. "Receiving?" Not yet. Not yet.

Nov 11, 2014, 11:29am PST UPDATED: Nov 11, 2014, 4:14pm PST
Reporter-San Francisco Business Times
Salesforce is set to buy the 50 Fremont office tower from TIAA-CREF, sources close to the deal told the Business Times.
The deal would continue to grow the San Francisco-based software company's real estate footprint. The company is the largest technology employer in San Francisco, with 4,000 employees in the city. Salesforce already leased about a half-million square feet of 50 Fremont in 2012, more than half of the 817,000-square-foot building. That $339 million, 18-year lease gave Salesforce first dibs to purchase the building — if TIAA-CREF decided to sell — or the right to buy in 2017.
The 43-story 50 Fremont is the ninth-largest office tower in San Francisco, according to Business Times research. Mellon Capital Management and Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP are also tenants.
It's not clear just yet how much Salesforce would pay for the building, and representatives for its broker Cushman & Wakefield did not immediately return requests for comment.
UPDATE: Salesforce to join exclusive real estate club with SoMa tower purchase
Salesforce has leased more space in the city than any other company in recent years. The company inked a deal in April to become the anchor tenant of what will be the city's largest building – the Salesforce Tower. That 714,000-square-foot lease is valued at $560 million over 15 and a half years, starting in 2017.
In 2012, Salesforce also leased 444,273 square feet in 350 Mission St., which is being built by Kilroy Realty Corp., and 235,733 square feet in Rincon Center.
The 50 Fremont potential purchase comes in a near-record year for San Francisco office sales. It's expected to be the second-biggest year for office purchases in the city's history, after 2007. About $5 billion worth of sales have already closed, according to CBRE, with about $6.7 billion expected in total this year.
Salesforce refused to comment on the deal. John Cornuke, who runs TIAA-CREF's asset management team, said "it's premature" to comment.
Cushman & Wakefield is representing Salesforce and CBRE is representing TIAA-CREF in the deal.

What is a consulting attorney?
As a consulting attorney, I work almost exclusively for other lawyers on an as-needed basis. I am an extra set of eyes or hands for lawyers who need extra capacity or targeted expertise.
I accept private clients on a limited basis—usually businesses that need someone to handle transactions or function as outside general counsel.
I spent more than a decade representing businesses and municipal agencies at a Nashville-based firm. This means that I am equally prepared to draft motions, handle an acquisition, or cover an entire practice so that an attorney can take parental leave.
Because I have an extensive background in appellate litigation, I also consult on research, drafting, and oral argument strategy for appeals in almost all practice areas.
Here are some of the industries I provide legal work for:
technology and SaaS-based companies
real estate firms
healthcare and related industries
print and digital media
restaurant/hospitality businesses
municipal agencies
educational institutions
My LinkedIn profile will give you a good overview of my skill set and hit the highlights on publications, speaking engagements, and honors. But there's no substitute for conversation. If you think I might be able to help you, give me call.

An eccentric fusion of Manchu hunting lodge and Tibetan temple, this retreat comprises 10 rustic stone cottages hidden amongst mulberry trees in a steep-sided valley north of Beijing. Admittedly, development in the adjacent village means it's no longer the escape it once was, but you still get a lot for your money: hand-carved four poster beds, luscious organic soaps and a hearty al fresco breakfast on a terrace overhanging a gurgling river. But the big draw is its private access to a spur of Great Wall that scythes right through the hotel grounds. A crumbling, perilously steep stairway takes guests on the same breathless ascent Ming soldiers once undertook to gain speedy access to the battlements high above. Cresting the ridge affords sublime views of the surrounding hills, and a fine spot for a picnic amid wild flowers and dragonflies.

Hinduism is losing its traditional tolerance because some Hindus have started believing that it is their faith that has brought them political power — and because this belief is not being challenged by "those at the top", Fali S Nariman, one of India's most celebrated jurists, said on Friday.
Nariman said he agreed that the "majority government at the Centre" had done nothing to stop the recent repeated tirades by individuals or groups against members of minority communities.
The eminent constitutional expert delivered the Annual Lecture at the National Commission for Minorities (NCM), titled 'Minorities at Crossroads: Comments on Judicial Pronouncements'.
Nariman, who began the lecture by saying that he welcomed the single-party majority government at the Centre but also feared it because of "past experience with majoritarian government(s)", said Hinduism has traditionally been the most tolerant of all Indian faiths.
"But — recurrent instances of religious tension fanned by fanaticism and hate speech has shown that the Hindu tradition of tolerance is showing signs of strain. And let me say this frankly — my apprehension is that Hinduism is somehow changing its benign face because, and only because it is believed and proudly proclaimed by a few (and not contradicted by those at the top): that it is because of their faith and belief that HINDUS have been now put in the driving seat of governance," he said.
[Underlining and capitals Nariman's; text of the speech made available by the Ministry of Minority Affairs.]
"We have been hearing on television and reading in newspapers almost on a daily basis a tirade by one or more individuals or groups against one or another section of citizens who belong to a religious minority and the criticism has been that the majority government at the Centre has done nothing to stop this tirade," Nariman said. "I agree."
BJP MP Yogi Adityanath has delivered a series of speeches at election meetings in the recent past, for which the Election Commission reprimanded and cautioned him on Thursday, and ordered that an FIR be registered against him. RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has described India as a "Hindu nation", and several political leaders linked to the Sangh Parivar have made allegedly provocative statements since the Narendra Modi government came to power.
Nariman criticised the NCM for not carrying out its "main task", the "protection of the interests of the minorities".
"Every government…will do or not do whatever it considers expedient to advance its own political interests… This is why…Parliament has…set up an independent Minorities Commission…
"…The main task of the Commission is 'protecting the interests of minorities'. And how does one protect the interest of minorities who (or a section of which) are on a daily basis lampooned and ridiculed or spoken against in derogatory language? The answer is by invoking the…law enacted in the Penal Code and the Criminal Procedure Code. Otherwise the Commission is not fulfilling its main task which is the protection of the interests of the minorities…
"Those who indulge in hate speech must be prevented by Court processes initiated at the instance of the Commission because that is the body that represents Minorities in India. Whoever indulges in such hate speech or vilification (whatever the community to which they belong) they must be proceeded against and the proceeding must be widely publicised," Nariman said.
The remarks were made in the presence of Minority Affairs Minister Najma Heptulla, who presided over the function. Later, asked by reporters about the minister's silence on recent instances of hate speech, Nariman said, "You should ask her that."
Nariman lauded the role of the Supreme Court in upholding minority rights on many occasions, describing it as a "Super Minorities Commission". However, he said, the judicial outlook has undergone gradual change since the early 1990s when the BJP introduced the phrase "appeasement of minorities" in the political lexicon.
"The label stuck; 'minority' became and has become an unpopular word. And after the same political party had included in its Election Manifesto in the general election of May-June 1991 the party's resolve if and when it came into power to amend Article 30 to the disadvantage of minorities, 'minority rights' got less and less protected by Courts (including the Supreme Court of India) than they were before," Nariman said.
Heptulla, in her presidential address, reiterated the NDA government's commitment to "sabka saath sabka vikas". "One of the important constituents of such an approach is the need for safeguarding the constitutional and legal rights of the minorities and provide them protection and equal opportunity to ensure their economic and social betterment… Government is doing its best for communal harmony and will continue to do so," she said.
She later defended the government, saying Prime Minister Narendra Modi had told her that Muslims had been "deprived" of their basic rights all these years, and that he wanted her to fulfil the promises the BJP had made to minorities in its manifesto.
She said Modi believed in "inclusive development", and that there would be no discrimination against anyone on the grounds of religion, language or caste.

2009 College Football Game of the Year Award® Winner

Greg McElroy (#12) had a great game — one major play in particular had him teetering on one leg down the sideline to stay in bounds as he ran the ball for a first down. Bama dominated the Gators, 32-13. This SEC Championship game marked the first time that 2 undefeated teams, and Number 1 and Number 2 teams played each other in this competition.

In this blog I will be referring my husband as my dad and our son as my bother. I know I said I don't involve him in our fetish but he is only one and won't remember it and it's no different when mothers take baths with their small children so I can do the same thing too.
So I go in the bedroom to be with my dad. I was very wet and I felt it was about to leak if I kept it on. My brother was sleeping and my dad cuddled up with me. Then he woke up and I had to go get him. I have to help him with my brother because he has bad feet so it's hard for him to be my real daddy. He then decides we both need a bath so he undresses me and I undress my brother and take off his diaper. Dad tells me to get the bath started so I turn it on and then he tells me to put the drain in so I put it in. Then we both hop in the bath tub. Dad comes in with the toys and dumps the toys in. He brings in his tablet and I keep calling him dad. Pretty soon I won't be able to call him that anymore when our son gets bigger. I would only have to do it in private when he isn't around. But I can still take baths with him until he gets too old. Dad brings in the tablet and he plays a cartoon for us but I find it boring so he plays Rocko's Modern Life. I ask him how long do I need to be in for and he said until he decides we are clean and he said he had a surprise for us and I will see.
I just sit in the tub and I find my brother's toys boring. I mess with the tweezers pulling hair from my pelvis. I keep it shaved down there. I find pubic hair gross and disgusting. I ask dad later when is he going to come back in and he asked me if I was bored and I said I was so he told me I can get out. I got upset because he said he had a surprise and he said "you're bored so you can get out." I told him again why can't he just do the surprise now and he said it was because he is in pain and I am bored. I asked him why did he say he had a surprise if he is in so much pain? He said he just changed his mind. I will never trust dad again when he says he will do something. Dad tells me to get on the bed and he will take care of my brother.
I go in the bedroom and lie on the bed and dad gets my brother out and he dries him off. Then he takes him to his bedroom and puts a diaper on him and plastic pants. He then brings him out in the living room and puts him on his rocking horse and comes in the bedroom. He gets out a cloth diaper I got on ebay from China. Those sort of diapers leak easily and even though they are thick, they don't really absorb well so they get wet pretty fast as if you had wet them too much and they leak out of the plastic pants. But my dad put it on me anyway and then he grabbed one of his diapers he also got from China on ebay and it has a plastic outer cover on the diaper and he puts it on me to make it nice and thick.
I ask him how do I know if he will keep me in diapers 24/7 if he keeps changing his mind and he told me he was upset because I was not playing, doing what I was supposed to be doing. So basically I got punished. So he makes me go naked in a diaper only and I demanded socks because I can't stand to go barefoot. I don't like how it feels on my bare feet, the dirt and the floor. So he lets me use socks and I put them on. Pretty soon I won't be able to be in my diaper only in front of my son. It would then have to be between my dad and I and my brother would just be my son now. We would have to do it alone like in our bedroom.
And I just wet this diaper. The pee wasn't that long, only a few seconds. This is all for now for this blog.

- Aiding in census enumeration
- Assigning destinations in route planning software
- Determining insurance premiums
The postcode district refers to the outward code. It is the postcode area plus one or two numerical digits. Thus, "W1A", "RH1", and "SE1P" are some examples of postcode districts.

Topic Tuesday #15 2012/10/30 "All Hallows Eve"Where did the holiday Halloween come from? Many people fantasize wildly on the topic and many popular beliefs label it a satanic and pagan ritual. Well, they have part of it right. Let's take a stroll through history.
Peter Tokofsky, an assistant professor in the department of folklore and mythology at UCLA states, "The earliest trace (of Halloween) is the Celtic festival, Samhain, which was the Celtic New Year. It was the day of the dead, and they believed the souls of the deceased would be available" Samhain (pronounced sah-win or sow-in) means "summer's end" by the Celts.
This day marked the end of summer (and the harvest) and the beginning of the dark, cold winter; a time of year that was often associated with human death. For this reason Druids (Celtic pagans) believed that the spirits of those who died the preceding year roamed the earth the night of Samhain.
The Druids celebrated with a great fire festival (to encourage the dimming Sun not to vanish) and danced round bonfires to keep evil spirits away. With all that they would leave their doors open in hopes that benevolent spirits of loved ones might join them around their hearths. Divination was thought to be more effective during this time, so methods were derived to ascertain who might marry, what great person might be born, who might rise to prominence, or who might die. The Celts would also wear costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other's fortunes. Crops were burned (to prepare the fields for the next planting) and animals were sacrificed (and eaten by the villages as part of the festival, with plenty of ritual too). The spirits were believed to be either "entertained by the living", or to "find a body to possess for the incoming year". This all gives reason as to why "dressing up like witches, ghosts and goblins, villagers could avoid being possessed".
By 43 AD, Romans occupied the majority of Celtic territory. Over the 400 years of occupation, two Roman festivals were melded within the culture:
First, a celebration for Pomona (the Roman goddess of plenty or "she who cares for fruits") which followed the August fruit and nut storage with a opening of those stores near November first. Bobbing for apples if most often attributed to Pomona's role.
Second, Feralia, celebrating the Manes (Roman spirits of the dead, particularly the souls of deceased individuals). Faralia, while practiced later, in February, may have also been subjugated in the land of Celts during this time due to climate and local traditions.
Fast forwarding to the Middle Ages, Pope Gregory IV wanted to substitute Samhain with All Saints' Day in 835, but All Souls' Day (Nov. 2nd) which is closer in resemblance to Samhain and Halloween today was instituted in a French Monastery in 998 and spread throughout Europe. In the 16th century, Christian village children celebrated the vigil of All Saints' by doing the "Danse Macabre". The Seven Brethren whose grisly death is described in the seventh chapter of the deuterocanonical book of Second Maccabees is also said to have resulted in children dressing up in grizzly costumes to signify these deaths. Also During this time the belief developed that witches traveled on broomsticks to the black Sabbaths to worship demonic forces and devils. It is said that, witches were guided by spirits in the form of black cats. Lending credence to this were the old Druid traditions of "revering or worshiping" cats, believing them to be reincarnated souls.
All Saints Day became All Hallows Day. Hallow means holy or sacred. October 31 is the evening before All Hallows Day and came to be called in the western world all hallows evening and then all hallows een. Een is an abbreviation for evening. Finally, the word was reduced to the way we have it today, Halloween.
Halloween came to the United States when European immigrants brought their varied Halloween customs with them. In the second half of the nineteenth century, America was flooded with new immigrants including the Irish fleeing from the potato famine in Ireland in 1846. By combining Irish (Celtic) and English (Roman Catholic/Anglican) traditions, Americans began the "trick-or-treat" tradition. In the later 1800's the holiday became more centered on community and in the 1920's and 1930's Halloween became a secular, but community-centered holiday. In the 1950's leaders changed Halloween as a holiday aimed at the young to limit vandalism. This all led to what Halloween actually is like today. There continues to be controversy over the implications of the holiday among the very pious, considering the entire thing to be sinful and direct devil worship. In my neck of the woods, it's a harvest festival that was twisted through the years with superstition and has become a fun holiday to celebrate the things that go bump in the night so we don't have to be afraid, all the time, just on halloween, and because we like to be scared...Well a little.

Also, on another note, Natitude is inviting the Baltimore oriole bird down for the series. I'm not quite sure how that's supposed to set a homefield environment...
And then having him tackle most of the presidents, who thought that was a good idea?
Forreal, it actually looked like Abe got hurt during that cause he was down for awhile. freak the Orioles
I thought he stayed down because of something the oriole announcers in the BOOTH did.
I've sat in 117 and had a good time.

Note: this is the first installment of what I plan to be a thorough write up of my week at the 2010 Flat-Coated Retriever National, held in Auburn and Albion, Indiana, a mere 2 hours from home. It is lengthy and detailed because I want to be able to look back and remember what happened.
This year, I missed day one of the FCRSA (Flat-Coated Retriever Society of America) National because my younger son graduated from high school the night before it started (yeah, Ryan!) and my husband and I both worked the 12:30-3:00 AM shift at the All Seniors All Night party.
Gryff was entered in 9 events over the course of 5 days, and Ty in 5. At least the dogs were in good shape. Me? Time would tell! First up was the hunt test on Saturday, June 5. Gryff was in the Master test (going for leg 3 of 5) and Ty in the Senior test (going for leg 1 of 4).
The 1st series of the Master test was a land-water triple with a blind between the two land marks. We were running from a hillside that was mowed in what is becoming a familiar and crazy fashion - with generous patches of cover left all over the place. The marks were thrown left (left to right, angled back), middle (right to left, angled back) and right (right to left, angled back into the pond). The test started with a walk-up, meaning the dog and handler are in motion when the first duck is launched. Gryff picked up the right and middle marks promptly, but had a bit of a hunt on the left one. He took the path most of the way to it, but then bounced a patch of cover and hunted to the right, as did several other dogs. The hill sloped down left to right, which I think was also an influence. He headed back to the left and his nose led him to the duck. The blind went fairly smoothly, with a nice initial line carrying him quite a ways before I needed to whistle sit him. When he was about 1/2 way to the blind, I realized I was holding my breath, which wasn't going to help when I needed to blow the whistle. After the blind, we moved to the honor box. (For the honor, the dog has to stay while the next dog's marks are thrown and that dog is sent.) Gryff was solid on his honor.
I watched a few more dogs run at Master, then headed to the Senior land test. It was a walk-up double, with the left bird thrown into/near a patch of cover, right to left, and the go bird on the right thrown right to left. Earlier in the week, I had worked walk-up drills with Ty, because she was having a bad time with them, and not seeing the mark fall. She had a very good long look at the walk-up memory bird, and when she returned from picking up the go bird, she refocused intently on the area of the memory bird. She had a bit of a hunt, but came up with it reasonably prompty. Interestingly, the lines to the marks in Senior were through cover patches (which many of the dogs bounced around), whereas the Master marks all had a pretty definitive path. The blind was almost 90 degrees to the left of the left mark, and Ty took a very decent initial line - something we've struggled with in the past. It was great to see her improvement. As I had in Master, I realized I was again holding my breath and had to huff and puff to be ready to blow my whistle. I was very happy as we left the line, and thought I heard one of the judges say that it was one of the better jobs they'd seen that day.
The right mark:

The blind stake was somewhere in this picture :-):
I went back to Master to await the completion of the 1st Master series. The 2nd series finally got underway about 1 PM. Of the 32 starters, 27 were called back for the 2nd series. It was on a big pond with lots of tullies/reeds around the perimeter. It was a water double and a double blind, one on land and one across the water. The memory bird was a huge arc from the left side of the pond and the go bird was a huge arcing throw from the same side of the pond we ran from, far to our right. The water blind was under the arc of the go bird, and the land blind was to the right of the right gun station. I was the lucky 1st exhibitor to run. Gryff's go bird was fine. When I sent him for the memory bird, I rushed it a bit, and instead of heading straight for the water, he veered left into the tall cover and proceeded to hunt quite a bit on land. The shoreline tullies were several feet thick, creating a wall the dogs had to drive through. At some point, I started to handle. I honestly don't think he was responding very well to my casts, but suddenly, he got in the water and headed for the bird. I was smart and shut up :-). We did the land blind first and he even jumped over a patch of cover at some point. One of the judges said "That will earn you extra points!" I was pleased with his handling on the land blind. The water blind required us to drive the dog through the very wide and tall wall of tullies on the far shore. While we've been working on improving this skill in the past month, we hadn't worked through any that wide (I think they were at least 10 feet wide, if not more). I was prepared and stopped him before he disappeared into the tullies, but he didn't respond correctly to my next cast. I was trying to get him to drive straight back through, but he went into the tullies and started hunting. Because they were also tall, it was hard to see what he was doing. I wasn't surprised, since we've been battling this issue. I hung in with him. When he finally got to the duck, one of the judges said something about that being what he liked to see ... hanging in there with my dog and getting the job done. I wasn't feeling great about our chances of going on to the 3rd series, but I crossed my fingers and left to run Ty's Senior water.
When I arrived at the location for the Senior water, I walked down to watch some dogs run. Problem was, there was only me and one other handler left to run. Eek! I had heard a few people say it was a breaking test, which usually means the marks are short and exciting. One of the judges described the test, which looked pretty straight forward: a water double on a small pond. The memory bird was thrown from the right shore and the go bird from the dike we were running from. Once that was completed, we'd walk down the shore to the right for the water blind and then honor right there. I arrived at the line with Ty and the first bird was thrown. Drat, it landed in the heavy cover, which isn't where I was expecting it to land. The 2nd gunner started duck-calling, but Ty was intent on where the 1st one had landed and she wasn't turning to see the go bird. Then I heard another splash (I was watching my dog) across the pond... the bird boys, having thrown the 1st one poorly, decided to throw another out into the open water. Oops! Ty jumped in, I recalled her, the judge called a 'No bird'. We left the line and waited for a bit, and returned. This time, since Ty had seen two birds thrown from the right side, I lined her up to face where the go bird would land, which also let me block her some with my legs. The strategy served me well. This time, it all came off smoothly and she retrieved both birds promptly. We moved down the shore for the blind. It was the shortest water blind I've ever seen in a test (30 yds?). She looked out with confidence (no bugging this time either) and went right in when I sent her. She again took an excellent initial line. When she started veering away from the line near the end, I blew my whistle. I think she spotted the bird as she started to turn, so started to swim at the bird. I whistled again, and she stopped, but didn't look back at me but stared at the duck. I waited and waited and waited. She finally looked at me and then took my quick cast. Yeah! The honor was a bit scary - she was ready to go and moved forward just a bit, but a quick SIT command stopped her. I didn't know for sure until later, but I was pretty sure she'd passed and earned our 1st Senior pass (she did and we did).
Ty and Adele with their first Senior Hunter ribbon.
I went back to Master, and the water test dragged on and on. It didn't wrap up until about 6:30 PM. Blessedly, we were called back to run the 3rd series. I figured Gryff had to have top marks to pass. It was a land double with a diversion bird, and he did an excellent job on it. One of the judges said "Congratulations!" as I left the line. Our 3rd Master leg!
The awards were handed out at head quarters, and it was so sweet to drive back to the motel with two orange ribbons. Earning a Master pass with Gryff was my #1 goal for the week, so we were off to a super start to our Specialty.

Architects: James & Mau
Location: Tarifa, Spain
Photography: © Erika Mayer
The site is located on a slope looking at the valley that dominates the Strait of Gibraltar. The design is guided by the particularities of the zone's climate and by the rules that dictate the vernacular architecture of Andalusian pueblos blancos (whitewashed hill towns) with patios and narrow streets. The goal was to create not simply a house but a complex that would promote outdoor activities as much as indoor ones.
The various modules are unified by a large canopy, which provides protection from solar radiation; thus creating a microclimate.
011 Reduction of material costs, minimization of onsite waste, and reduction of construction time are advantages of modular home design.
012 Modular construction is generally sturdier than its conventional counterpart because each module is engineered to withstand the rigors of transportation.
013 A breezeway is used to channel air between two structures, thereby producing a cooling effect. This effect can be reinforced with the presence of a shallow pool.
Sustainable materials and renewable energies like biomass and solar thermal energy are used for both heating rooms and heating water.
014 Modular dwellings allow the separation of functions and promote a dynamic use of outdoor spaces.

I love challlenges! Especially when it comes to aging...let's be honest women are obsessed with looking younger and healthier every day without the need for plastic surgery or drastic procedures! Me too!!
That is why I accepted to treat my skin for the next 28 days with Erno Laszlo's Transphuse Rapid Renewal Cell Protocol.
It is a new SERUM that has been designed to energize the skin's innate renewal mechanism so your cells can look YOUNGER!
It has a bio-complex formula that accelerates healthy cell turnover thanks to 3 amazing components:
1.Age Toxin Inhibitor: Biocellessence that fights a toxin our body produces called progerin. Lines are smoothed and skin looks plump and refreshed.
2.Stem Cell Activator: Rapidgen a cell extract that improves skin's elasticity and defenses against free radicals
3. Bio-Mimetic Protector: Hydra Skin Complex that creates a protective barrier that holds moisture and blocks trans-dermal water loss.
Why does the renewal process take 28 days?
Because every week an important phase takes place in the skin. The first week takes care of deep hydration, the second week is all about elasticity restoration, the third week about contouring and refinement. By the fourth week the aging toxin Progerin is suppressed and new skin is born!!
I must use one ampule every week, morning and night for the next 28 days and will be telling you all about my progress on all my social media channels.
I must also tell you that my challenge started at the very heart of Erno Laszlo's THE INSTITUTE in SOHO with an amazing facial in the hands of Eliana Restrepo, an esthetician with magical hands that left my skin glowing.
Here's a short video while I was having the treatment and then all the steps to my luxurious facial!
Rapid Renewal Cell Protocol Facial
1. Erno Laszlo Signature Cleansing Ritual
Use Phelity Pre-Cleansing Oil and Phelity Cleansing Gel
2. Diamond Microdermabrasion
To improve the absorption and effectiveness of the Transphuse Rapid Renewal Cell Protocol and to exfoliate surface use fine head for this step.
3. Resculpting and Recontouring Massage 10 min
Applied Transphuse Rapid Renewal Cell Protocol with Transphuse Day Serum on the face and massage.
4. Restorative Light Therapy 7 min with Bioptron Light Treatment
5. Application of Transphuse Rapid Renewal Cell Protocol layered with Transphuse Age-Defying Mask and Transphuse Eye Refiner and penetrated with BT Micro.
6. Application of Erno Laszlo Anti-Wrinkle SuperSerum
7. Application of Transphuse Line Refining Cream and a little oil control Lotion just for an added SPF.

A few years back, I utilized my meager artistic skills to kickstart my imagination. Like the Kobollian Cylon or Zeus' propaganda.
This time is no different and I found some inspiration in a strange place.
My son's Beyblades.
You may not know what they are. They're metal and plastic tops that spin and clink into each other in arenas. Pretty neat. But even more neat was this odd pattern I discovered in the bottom of one of these pieces of imported Japanese pop culture:
See that? (It was a pain to photograph.) It's like a giant bird with outstretched wings and feathers that encircle the whole thing. It's so reminiscent of the Kobollian/Colonial eagle/phoenix that I knew I had to use this.
Unfortunately, I'm no artist. I wasn't able to isolate the bird well enough to use. (If anyone wants to give it a shot, please, go ahead.) But I managed to create something similar.
Early in Book Five, I describe the flag of the emperor that appears on a television screen: "Your attention, please," an unseen announcer said over the image of the emperor's seal, a stylized metallic eagle whose wings encircled a mask painted blood red over a purple fluttering flag. "Lord Imperator, Princeps Senatus, Caesar Maxentius the Ninth."
And here it is:
The color is Tyrian purple. The dye was so rare in ancient days only the emperors wore clothes using it.
The idea of the blood red face comes from the Roman triumphs. When an emperor was feted in such a way, his face was painted red to evoke Jupiter. (See this scene from the great HBO series Rome.)
The mask itself comes from a Roman ceremonial mask found at the site of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. (Go here and scroll down a bit. You'll see it.)
Lastly, "CPQT." You probably remember seeing some show or movie about ancient Rome and seeing "SPQR" everywhere. That means "Senatus Populusque Romanus" ... "the Senate and people of Rome." I wanted something similar but not quite a direct copy. I originally went with "Imperator Populesque Tiberiis" but that abbreviated as "IPQT." ("Tiberiis," of course, because my Roman analogue is the Tiberian Empire, based in Tiber. I suppose that means the river that runs through the city is the Rome.) I chose "Caesar Populusque Tiberiis." Maybe I'll change my mind again and go with "Caesar Senatusque Tiberiis."
I'm actually writing now, but I'll post some more visual inspirating that I did in the coming days.

This is literally the most summery colour EVER. Tangerine Queen, is so perfect, I wish I has more of a tan to show it off though! This would look amazing on holiday, it's bright, bold and screams look at me. You might need to invest in some shades if you look directly at it though.
Just wanted to show my most recent purchase from a bric-a-brac shop, we've been desperate for a TV cabinet for yonks, and we finally spotted one earlier today.

The ontogenic expression of cytochrome P450s in all species studied, including humans, is indicative of imprinting. Each P450 isoform proceeds through """"""""programmed"""""""" stages of development culminating in an adult pattern of expression characterized by the permanent suppression of many androgynous immature forms of P450 and permanent induction of mostly sexually dimorphic levels of P450s observed in adults. Whereas all sexual dimorphisms have been shown to be imprinted by testosterone or its metabolites, the steroids appear to have no developmental effect on P450 ontogeny. Since the differentiation of a tissue's morphology and function is determined by the same hormone responsible for its regulation in adulthood, and growth hormone (GH), not androgens, solely regulates the sexually dimorphic expression of hepatic P450s in all species examined, we have proposed that GH irreversibly imprints the developing hepatic P450 system. Using a highly potent GH antagonist, we plan to examine the imprinting effects of the hormone during the critical neonatal period of P450 ontogeny by evaluating the expression of sex-dependent P450 isoforms in affected adult male and female rats. We also plan to study the imprinting effects of GH in limiting the liver's ability to express the isoforms of the opposite sex. Lastly, since the development of the hepatic P450 system is characterized by the suppression of most isoforms until puberty, we have proposed that their eventual appearance is dependent upon the ontogenesis of the signal transduction pathways regulating their expression. We have chosen to examine the development of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway regulating expression of the dominant male- specific CYP2C11 as well as the ERK/CBP/HNF signal transduction pathway regulating expression of the dominant female-specific CYP2C12. In order to elucidate the mechanism(s) by which GH imprints the sex- dependent hepatic P450s, we will examine the developmental profiles of these signaling pathways in neonatally GH-blocked rats to identify any aberrations from the normal. Like all sexual dimorphisms, expression of the hepatic P450s can at best be only partially sex-reversed. In order to identify the cause of this response, we will compare the ontogenic responsiveness of both signaling pathways in both sexes to GH activation. Expectedly, our studies will identify developmental mechanisms that determine adult patterns of P450 expression and the origins of sex-dependent drug metabolism.
The research proposes to unravel mechanisms regulating the ontogenesis of cytochrome P450-drug metabolism by examining hormonal imprinting of the differentiating enzyme system and the ontogenesis of the signal transduction pathways regulating expression of adult P450 isoforms. Developmental disruption of the endocrine system or signaling pathways, both common drug targets, could result in permanent alterations in drug metabolism and should be considered in formulating drug therapies for children. Lastly, we propose to identify the origins of sex differences in drug metabolism, essential in understanding the sex-based biodisposition of drugs.

Posted on November 9, 2009 by David Laidlaw
My firm's health insurance renewal notice came in the mail the other week. Laidlaw Group has a high-deductible plan with a health savings account (HSA) through United Healthcare/Oxford. Shockingly, our premiums are scheduled to rise 21% from last year's level without any major claims over the history of our policy. These increases are consistent with prior increases including last year when our premiums increased 13.5% and the prior year when they rose by 18.8%. Over this three year period, our health insurance expenses have increased by over 63%.
These increases in premiums are completely divergent from price levels for other goods and services throughout the economy. During the same 3-year period, the Consumer Price Index has increased by a very mild 5.8%. While medical knowledge increases and novel treatments and pharmaceuticals have been developed over the preceding three years, these quantitative advances have occurred at the margin. Anecdotally, service levels within our plan have decreased since wait times – both to schedule appointments and during visits – have increased substantially.
As a business owner and healthcare consumer, it is very difficult to pay ever-increasing premiums without receiving any added value. Regardless of the outcome of the debate in Washington, our company plan will change so that we are not paying 60% more for less reliable service three years from now.

There used to be a time when I hated Valentine's Day, yes really hated it. Surely because my high expectations for that day left me disappointed for some reason or another but mostly because it's so commercialized and shoved in our faces soon after the new year. All the roses, chocolate boxed hearts and the reds and pinks that line the store aisles can get a little nauseating. To me it's so much more meaningful to spend quality time with your partner or friends and instead of spending incredible amounts of money trying to impress them, impress them with a homemade dinner, a little hand written note and if you want to give a gift, give something handmade and get crafty wrapping it. Just the thought of someone taking the time to make something with their own hands or even buying something handmade is so heart warming.
Enjoy your lovely day and Happy Valentine's, how ever you choose to celebrate it!!!
