So here's something you should never do at your high school reunion: climb into a giant hamster wheel with your mischievous prom date. Ty started running at full speed and I was in super high heels, so I thought I was going to die.
Eventually I stopped running and mercifully he did, too. Then I just sort of crawled to the edge, thanked Jesus and laughed hysterically.
I love this picture, even though my ex-boyfriend and current boyfriend are basically pointing and laughing at me.

- Wedding: October 2013
Fiance and I are planning to go to brunch at my current top-choice venue. We were thinking to invite both of our parents along (FI even offered to pay). Parents include: my dad and stepmom; my mom and stepdad; his mom and dad. One or more of my half brothers (all under 18) may also attend.
(A Note here: my mom, dad, and step parents all get along fine… though my mom and stepdad have NOT yet met my stepmom. But she's a wonderful lady!)
We figured this way everyone gets to meet everyone officially (dad and stepmom have met FI's father before) and offer input on the venue. I can also schedule to meet with the wedding coordinator for the venue if we would like to see accomodations, etc. (Not everyone would have to stick around for that part).
BUT here I am questioning if this is too much at once or what… I know it's quite early, but we would like to book our venue asap so that we can get our preferred date.
So. Vote away… good idea/not good idea, and please tell me why!

Mardi Gras Mask Cake
One of my friends has a Mardi Gras Party every year-it is not wild and crazy, but the food is always great. She had me make a cake for the party. The top layer was white cake with a strawberry whipped cream filling and the bottom layer was lemon cake with lemon filling. I used a plastic mask to mold a fondant one. It turned out pretty good considering the fondant still a little soft.

The Justice Department appears to have taken a renewed interest in the case against Universal Express, a package and luggage delivery company that has been the target of a civil suit by the Securities and Exchange Commission since 2004.
Judge Gerard E. Lynch of Federal District Court in Manhattan was told of the new interest yesterday as he considered whether to hold the company's chief executive in contempt of court for defying an order to stop illegally selling shares and to step down from his post.
The chief, Richard A. Altomare, delayed a finding of contempt by agreeing to resign immediately and to pay $30,000 toward the $1.4 million Judge Gerard ordered him to pay in March in restitution for repeated violation of securities laws.
A lawyer for Mr. Altomare, Arthur W. Tifford, told the judge that he had been advised that Tarun Mendiratta, another defendant who is scheduled to go on trial later this year, had agreed to become an informant for the United States attorney in Manhattan and was seeking to settle the civil case.
John A. Hutchings, a lawyer for Mr. Mendiratta, told the judge, "There appears to be a revived U.S. attorney interest in this matter."Continue reading the main story
It also appeared possible that Chris Gunderson, who was Universal Express's corporate counsel, had turned against Mr. Altomare. Mr. Tifford was allowed to step aside as Mr. Gunderson's lawyer because of a conflict of interest that was not disclosed.
In its civil suit, the S.E.C. contended that Universal Express had violated securities laws by selling hundreds of millions of unregistered shares.
Discovery in the case was briefly delayed two years ago at the request of federal prosecutors, but they appeared to lose interest until after the company ignored the judge's order to stop selling stock.
The company continued to finance itself that way through this year, selling billions of shares even after Judge Lynch granted summary judgment against the company, Mr. Altomare and Mr. Gunderson.
While losing money on operations, Universal paid Mr. Altomare more than $1 million a year, plus expenses.Continue reading the main story

Back to News
This weekly roundup of election news and notes is compiled for Thompson Coburn by the
The Ellis Insight.
The Republicans' most obvious problem in opposing Sen. Jon Tester (D) next year is that they have yet to recruit a top tier candidate. The problem grew worse this week as Attorney General Tim Fox (R), arguably the most well-known available individual who could pose a viable challenge to Sen. Tester, announced that he will not run for the Senate next year. In the race are state Sen. Al Olszewski and businessman Troy Downing, but neither are considered candidates with first-tier potential.
Energy trader and investor Paul Addis this week joined the Republican US Senate field of candidates, and he is already proving to be an unconventional candidate. In his announcement, Mr. Addis confirmed he did not vote for President Trump and believes the GOP has "lost its way." He also says he will "partially" fund his own campaign. Mr. Addis joins state Reps. Rick Saccone and Jim Christiana, both from the Pittsburgh suburbs, and real estate developer Jeff Bartos as Senate candidates. Rep. Lou Barletta (R-Hazelton) is a prospective contender. Sen. Bob Casey Jr. (D) is seeking a third term.
In an interview this week, Sen. Bob Corker (R) ended speculation that he might run for Governor next year. While not fully committing to seeking a third term, the Senator came close to declaring for re-election. He firmly indicated, however, that he is "not interested" in running for Governor. Sen. Corker is positioned to face only minor opposition if he decides to enter the 2018 campaign.
With slightly under 33,000 voters casting ballots this past Tuesday, state Assemblyman Jimmy Gomez (D-Los Angeles) won the special election to replace former Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Los Angeles), now California's Attorney General. Mr. Gomez secured a 60-40% win over Los Angeles former City Planning Commissioner Robert Lee Ahn, also a Democrat. The 34th CD's irregular vote is the third special congressional election to conclude. Mr. Gomez joins Reps. Ron Estes (R-KS-4) and Greg Gianforte (R-MT-AL) as 2017 special election winners. The Georgia and South Carolina contests will conclude June 20. Eastern Utah voters will go to the polls in August and November to replace soon-to-be-resigned Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Alpine/ Sandy).
Action is occurring in both parties as politicos begin to vie for Rep. Tim Walz's (D-Mankato) open southern Minnesota seat. Mr. Walz, who won re-election with only 50.3% of the vote in 2016, is an announced candidate for Governor. Defeated state Sen. Vicky Jensen became the first Democrat to enter the open-seat contest. On the Republican side, state Rep. Nels Pierson is traveling the district to "listen to voters," which is likely a prelude to him entering the campaign. Jim Hagedorn, the 2016 nominee who captured 49.6% of the vote last November, is already an announced 2018 candidate. Mr. Hagedorn's father, Tom Hagedorn, served as a Republican Congressman for four terms in the seventies and early eighties.
Two-time congressional nominee Stewart Mills (R), who lost a pair of federal races by an aggregate 6,000 votes, ended speculation that he was about to enter the open Governor's race. Mr. Mills closed the door on the statewide run, but says he is considering making a third run for the northeastern Minnesota congressional seat. Rep. Rick Nolan (D-Crosby/Duluth) also said he would not enter the Governor's race and is expected to seek re-election.
Rep. Mark Sanford (R-Charleston) who before this week had two Republican primary opponents, now finds himself currently unopposed for re-nomination. Both former fighter pilot and businessman Ted Fienning and defense analyst Tom Perez, the latter no relative of the Democratic National Committee chairman with the same name, withdrew from further campaigning. Fienning did so because of business commitments, while Mr. Perez was transferred to an overseas position.
El Paso County Judge Veronica Escobar (D) is reportedly moving toward seeking Rep. Beto O'Rourke's (D-El Paso) open and safely Democratic congressional seat. Ms. Escobar is also a former state legislator. Most states refer to her present position as being a "county executive," but Texas calls those holding her position around the state "County Judges." Earlier in the week, state Rep. Cesar Blanco (D), another El Paso Democrat originally looking at a congressional run instead announced plans to seek re-election to his current position.
Dan Kohl, nephew of former US Sen. Herb Kohl (D-WI) and ex-assistant general manager of the Milwaukee Bucks basketball club, a sports entity the latter Mr. Kohl owns, announced that he will challenge two-term Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Glenbeulah/Fond du Lac) next year. The district, which sits almost halfway between Milwaukee and Green Bay in eastern Wisconsin, could become competitive despite Mr. Grothman recording two 57% wins in the most immediate past elections. Prior to Rep. Grothman coming to Washington, former GOP Rep. Tom Petri represented the district for 18 terms.
State Sen. Steve Farley (D-Tucson) announced his gubernatorial campaign this week. At this point, Sen. Farley and Arizona State University professor David Garcia are the only two Democrats to step forward to challenge first-term Gov. Doug Ducey (R). The Governor enjoys strong favorability ratings, so unseating him in 2018 will be a tall order for any Democrat.
The Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies conducted a new statewide poll to test the budding 2018 open Governor's race. The poll (5/4-29; 1,628 CA adults; 885 likely voters) finds Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom's (D) previous jungle primary lead dissipating with former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (D) making a major upward move. According to the results, Newsom is favored by 22% of the respondents, scoring 48% within his San Francisco base. In second, former Mayor Villaraigosa captures 17% support, with Republicans John Cox and David Hadley following with 9 and 7%, respectively. The poll reveals bad news for state Treasurer John Chiang (D), who only registers a 5% preference rating.
A new Merriman River Group poll for the Civil Beat political blog (5/18-24; 956 HI registered voters) detects some weakness for Gov. David Ige (D). The pollsters only tested the Governor's personal favorability and whether the respondents would vote for him next year. According to the results, Gov. Ige is somewhat upside down at 35:38% positive to negative. In terms of his re-elect status, only 20% say they want him to remain as Governor versus 57% who say they prefer someone else. Already, term-limited Kauai Mayor Bernard Carvalho (D) is confirming he is a potential candidate, telling a local reporter that running for Governor is among the many options he is considering, and will announce future plans shortly.
A great deal of action occurred in the Hawkeye State this week. New Gov. Kim Reynolds (R), after succeeding former Gov. Terry Branstad (R) upon his confirmation as US Ambassador to China, has already drawn seven Democratic contenders vying for the party nomination, including two state legislators and a pair of former state party chairmen. She will also face a significant Republican primary opponent. Earlier in the week, Cedar Rapids Mayor Ron Corbett (R) confirmed that he will be announcing his gubernatorial candidacy later in the month. Gov. Reynolds is expected to seek a full term and will likely be considered the favorite.
Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R) joined the growing field of candidates who are attempting to succeed term-limited Gov. Sam Brownback (R). In addition to Secretary Kobach, businessman Wink Hartman and former state Rep. Ed O'Malley are GOP contenders. Democrats feature former Wichita Mayor Carl Brewer and ex-state Agriculture Secretary Josh Svaty. The big news, however, pertains to Gov. Brownback. Rumors suggest that he may be offered a federal appointment, meaning that Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer (R) would assume the Governorship and obviously become the favorite for next year's election.
Former state Human Services Commissioner Mary Mayhew (R), despite Sen. Susan Collins (R) saying she will decide in the fall about whether she will enter the gubernatorial campaign, announced her candidacy this week. Coming from the party's conservative faction, some in Maine believe that Mayhew will be in the strongest position to receive term-limited Gov. Paul LePage's (R) endorsement, which could be significant in a low turnout Republican primary that appeals to the base voter.
According to a new Mitchell Research poll for the MIRS news service (released 6/6; 435 MI likely Republican primary voters), two former US House members are at the top of a GOP primary poll. Ex-US Reps. Candice Miller (R-Macomb County) and Bill Schuette (R-Mt. Pleasant), now the state's Attorney General, would lead a hypothetical gubernatorial nomination contest. The poll finds Ms. Miller taking 21% as compared to Mr. Schuette's 18%. Lt. Gov. Brian Calley is third with 14% support. None of the three have announced their gubernatorial candidacies, though Messrs. Schuette and Calley appear to be sure bets to enter the race. For her part, Ms. Miller is saying that she is enjoying her new position as the Macomb County Public Works Commissioner. Gov. Rick Snyder (R) is ineligible to seek a third term.
Remington Research conducted a Nevada gubernatorial poll (5/23; 1,021 NV likely voters), and the results break well for Attorney General Adam Laxalt, the all-but-declared GOP gubernatorial candidate. According to the RR data, Gen. Laxalt claims 46% of the polling respondents' support as compared to 37% for Clark County Commission chairman Steve Sisolak (D), also an unannounced gubernatorial candidate. Nevada is a toss-up state now and solely dependent upon an inconsistent turnout model. In the last mid-term, Republicans swept the state when the turnout was extremely low. In November, Democrats rebounded strongly when the voter participation factor rose to normal presidential election heights.
New Jersey:
Voters went to the polls this past Tuesday, and to no one's surprise former US Ambassador to Germany Phil Murphy and Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno each won their respective Democratic and Republican nominations. Mr. Murphy scored a 48% victory in his primary and will become a heavy favorite to succeed term-limited Gov. Chris Christie (R). Lt. Gov. Guadagno fared equally as well, notching 47% among GOP voters. The large Democratic registration advantage and Gov. Christie's poor approval ratings make this a top conversion opportunity for Murphy and his party.
The gubernatorial primary election is this coming Tuesday, and former Republican National Committee chairman Ed Gillespie is a virtual lock to claim the GOP nomination. The Democratic battle is closing to a toss-up rating. Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam had a substantial lead at the beginning of May, according to most available polls, but it now appears that former Rep. Tom Perriello (D-Charlottesville) has strong momentum and pulled into toss-up range. The Democratic battle is a microcosm of the Hillary Clinton/Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, with the most stringent liberal activists lining up for Perriello just as they did for Sen. Sanders. The respective primary winners will advance to the general election campaign to be decided on November 6.

A story about aliens and time travel
"Workin' late, boys?"
George looked up and lifted his safety goggles. "That's right, Sheriff. Don't worry. You won't get a noise complaint this time. We'll head home before nine, like you said. Besides this thing just about exploded earlier."
"Don't tell him that!," Earl said.
"Exploded, huh?," the Sheriff said, shaking his head.
Earl figured it was too late to pretend George meant anything else. "It just started sparking and shaking when we turned it on. George and I have felt kinda funny since then."
The Sheriff wasn't too worried. George and Earl had only started one fire that he knew of, and they put it out before the fire department showed up. "Well, explosions aside, I wouldn't worry too much about any noise this week, boys. Old lady Gwinn is out of town, visiting her sister in law or some such. No one else is close enough to make a complaint. That's what I came out to tell you. Feel free to take the time."
Earl smiled wide, "Hey thanks, Sheriff! Appreciate knowin' that."
"No trouble. Just what is this supposed to be?"
George put his goggles in place and went back to work. Earl said, "Well, when it works it's a new kind of electrical transformer."
"When it works?"
"Well, we can get it to work sometimes. Sometimes not. We can't figure that part out."
The Sheriff nodded, "I got an old Chevy like that. Well, remember me when you get rich and famous. I got to be off. Mary's not feelin' well." With a wave he left them. The Sheriff wasn't certain what to make of George and Earl. They were a pair of lunks, no question, but sometimes they were brilliant lunks. They could fix just about anything. And the Sheriff figured that since they were such good natured lunks, they could be eccentric if they wanted to be.
The Sheriff got to his car and looked up at the beautiful, evening Shoesole sky. On this night, the Sheriff saw more than he wanted to. "What in tarnation?" For a split second he regretted saying that. The kids in town made fun of him for using words like tarnation. That momentary distraction didn't fix his vision though. He could still see the low hanging dark object. He wanted it to be a cloud, but it wasn't. It had moved, and now it was holding still. It wasn't any helicopter. "What am I seeing? Oh damn!" With a sharp burst of light, the silhouette spun away. The Sheriff looked around to see if anyone else was there to tell him that had really happened. But he was alone. "Okay. What do I do about that? I can't do anything, don't be ridiculous. No. I'd better call someone. Who do you call about a UFO? You know, I think it's best if I just forget it."
He was shaken by it. Sheriff Bentley was a reasonable man. It couldn't have been anything like what he imagined. But he knew what he saw. He wouldn't forget it. If it became important he would have to admit he saw it. That wouldn't matter if the flying thing did what UFOs were supposed to do, never show up again.
It was hard being the Sheriff in a place like Plakerton though. A lot of citizens had his home phone number. He got three calls from people who all saw objects in the sky, all wanting answers. He would have loved to file it away under local nonsense, but he knew that something unexpected was happening.
* * * *
The passenger door opened and someone slipped into the car. Nickel fumbled for his gun, grateful in the next moment that his reflexes weren't up to shooting his superior. Quarter didn't even seem to notice the danger. "Get us on the highway, kid. We got a joyrider."
Nickel's confused squint was invisible behind the dark glasses. "Sir? How did you? Where? How did you know I was here?" He had just stopped for a quick sandwich and a candy bar. How could Quarter just show up out of the blue and plop into the passenger seat?
Quarter looked at him with that energetic incredulousness he was infamous for. You could see it despite the dark glasses since Quarter had a pair of thick, dark eyebrows that were expressive beyond the norm. "Nickel, you know better than to ask questions like that. South on Highway Seventy Eight until you get to one of our roads."
"Right." Nickel pulled out of the convenience store parking lot. He only had to think about it for a moment. "There's a bug or tracker or something in the car. Right?" Then he reconsidered. "Wait. How would you show up like that unless you were following me? Were you following me?"
"Kid, when are you gonna learn?"
It wasn't a rhetorical question. "When you teach me." That was lesson two when you were a recruit. You learned the means, methods and even the ethics as you went along. Your superiors would see to it that you never screwed up so bad that it would hurt the agency. Nickel sighed. He accepted the invitation to join so that he could know. Instead he was kept in the dark just like John Q. Public. Sort of. He had to admit he knew some things that he could only guess before. And he was allowed questions as long as they were intelligent and pertinent. "What's a joyrider?"
"Kid, we're on our way to the site of an actual alien encounter."
Nickel's pulse rose instantly, but not even Quarter could see the difference. That much Nickel had learned. As soon as he got into character, nothing could shake the icy façade. He did allow just a touch of his enthusiasm into his voice. "Real aliens this time? Not those hoaxers?"
"The real thing, kid. There were reports of lights over a little town called Plakerton last night and the night before. Tonight it was visible objects moving in impossible ways. We aren't going to get there before first contact."
"Yes sir."
Quarter would have smiled if he could have. The kid didn't repeat his question. He knew better. It was something Nickel was ready to know though. "We're after a joyrider. Maybe one, maybe more than one. Here's a secret that the average skywatcher wouldn't guess. The E.T.s that people see aren't usually working for any actual alien government. They're just punks traveling to different worlds on their own. No authority, just doing their thing."
"I remember them telling us something like that during training. That's why descriptions of alien encounters are so discrepant."
"Is discrepant a word? Discrepancy is, but is discrepant?"
"Yes, sir."
"I like the way that rolls off the tongue. Discrepant. Discrepant."
"Sir? I don't mean any disrespect, but when I've got enough experience am I going to end up like you?"
"You should be so lucky. You think I'm weird, wait until you've met some aliens. Do you know what makes aliens so damn weird?"
"Um no, sir, I don't."
"They can't tell time."
Nickel waited a few seconds. "What does that mean?"
"It means that interstellar travel has its natural limitations. Aren't you going to ask me what highway we're traveling to?"
"I assumed you'd tell me when we reached it, sir."
"What do you know? The kid is learning. Pop a Q-sight pill. There's no sleep for us until the job is done."
* * * *
Sheriff Bentley knew what to expect when he arrived at the station the next day. He knew how to handle it. He'd act like he ordinarily would. He got his coffee, and no one said much to him other than Janice who made certain that he knew they got several calls during the night.
Once he was ready for it, made clear by a loud, easy breath and a moment of eye contact with everyone there, Janice told him, "We got calls from Rick Grady, Beverly Parsum, Ned—"
"I don't need to know who all called. How many?"
"You know why they're calling?," Deputy Gander said.
Gander was always a little sharper than the Sheriff expected. He covered a moment of preparation with a careful sip of coffee. Then he remembered, "I got three calls at home last night."
"Because a the lights?," Deputy Pilsner asked.
"Yep. Looks like we got flyin' saucers in town." That got a few laughs. "Well, I'd like to file that away as something I don't gotta think about, but if we're getting' that many people talkin' about it, we'd better at least know what we're goin' to say when they call again."
"What all are people callin' about?," Deputy Gander asked.
"There were lights and objects in the sky, least if the people callin' us are telling true."
Janice made a sound, so Deputy Gander said, "If people are calling about it, then they're seeing something."
The Sheriff stopped Janice before she said anything. "Like it or not, he's right. This ain't just Gabby drinkin' his homemade whiskey at the edge of the lake. This is a bunch of people all worried enough about it to call the police. So we don't get to ignore it. Gander."
"You and Pilsner listen to Sterling Case's radio show a lot don't you?"
The Sheriff also listened to Sterling Case every so often, but he didn't think it was a good idea to say so at the moment. "Silly as it might sound, I want to cover the worst of all possible scenarios first. Suppose there's somethin' X-Files goin' on in town. What do we do about it?"
Deputy Gander said, "Well, honestly, not much if we don't got to. Usually people see lights in the sky for a little while, then they're gone. End of story."
The Sheriff concealed a smile. He hoped that was true. After seeing that big dark object in the sky, he wanted it to just go away. "So we ain't gonna see little green men or anythin' like that?"
"Prob'ly not. Prob'ly just helicopters or bugs or something."
Janice joked, "You sure it ain't from Venus?"
The Sheriff wasn't as amused. What he saw wasn't any helicopter or bug.
* * * *
"You broke it," Earl said.
"I did not break it," George insisted. "Not my fault those fuses you bought were so lousy."
Earl was about ready for the argument, but he was immediately distracted by the radio, "Hey! Lemme turn that up."
—and this is Sterling Case bringing you The Shadow Report! Those of you in the Shoesole Lakes area might want to watch the sky tonight. After the initial reports of eerie bright lights in the sky two nights ago, there have been at least two near sightings of dark triangles in the skies around Plakerton. These sightings have been substantiated by multiple witnesses. When we contacted the local police department, they declined to comment.
Earl and George worked slow, listening to Sterling Case give them the strange news. It was their own town that was the hot spot this time. Sightings of UFOS. No photographs yet, but a shaky video was available. Of course Sterling was quick to admit that the video didn't do anything to offer scale or position. Still, the moving lights in the video did match witness reports.
Earl said, "Maybe we ought to be out to see if we can see anything."
George was about to gripe about the work they'd lose, but he was so frazzled from their lack of progress after the transformer started sparking that a night off might be good. "Sure. Sure, why not. Gimme that tarp to put over the thing." Then George hissed, "Hush! Who's there?"
Earl heard it too. Someone was in their workshop. He grabbed a heavy wrench. It was probably just the raccoons again, but he wasn't taking any risks. Especially since it might have been the Cullop brothers wanting to play another prank.
George crept around the shelves until he got sight of the intruder. "Oh my good gracious golly god!"
Earl hurried around, "What is it? Turkey feathers! What the hell?"
It was impossible. A pair of big, dark eyes. Pale skin. Thin limbs and a spindly body. There was no mistaking it. The proportions were wrong for this to be a person in a mask and costume. This was the real thing. With a tiny mouth that hardly moved, the alien asked, "Is everything all right, George?"
George shook his head, and took a half step forward. "You, you know my name?"
The alien looked surprised. "The improved translation might not be so improved."
Earl had a big toothy grin. He knew he should have been shocked or afraid, but he wasn't. He'd fantasized about this for a long time. He even put down the wrench. "Do ya know my name?"
With a slight motion of confusion, the alien told him, "You are Earl."
"I am Earl! How do you know that?"
The alien stepped forward, "The Sheriff was right. There was a problem with the construction. I have analyzed it."
George wasn't sure he got that. "What about a Sheriff?"
Earl was more concerned with what he did understand. "You know about our invention?"
"I know?," the alien said. "How could I not?"
George asked, "How long have you been watching us?"
The stranger made a sound like an annoyed sigh. He understood the variations of planetary cultures, but why did he have to explain the obvious to these humans? "You must stop the construction. After analysis, I have discovered that the conductor relays will not operate properly in this atmosphere."
"What?," George asked.
"The machine will not work," the alien said. "It would be dangerous as it is, so it must be adapted. If we attempt to operate it, it will expand the halz field outside the containment chassis."
Earl wasn't sure he wasn't dreaming. "Wh-what's a halz field?"
The alien looked at him with slightly wider eyes. "It is the power effect that I demonstrated."
"We don't understand," George said. "You want us to not work on the thing? On the thing we were working on?"
"Exactly," the alien said as though proud of a child. "Cease all construction. I will soon have improved plans. I will return when they are completed."
"Wait!," George said.
Earl put a hand on George's shoulder though. "Hold on. Let him go. You'll be back?," he asked the alien.
"I must return to provide improved plans." The alien stood stock still a moment. Then he vanished. There was a split second that he seemed like a shadow, but in the next instant he was simply gone.
George and Earl felt a strange popping sensation like they were in a bubble that had burst. George spoke first. "He's gone."
Earl said, "Like Star Trek. Beam me up."
George felt a dozen different emotions. "This'd have to happen on a week when we got all night to work every night."
* * * *
Q-sight was a remarkable substance. Nickel always felt centered and benumbed, absolutely patient and quite literally incapable of weariness. He could hear the change in his own voice. A deeper, more commanding presence was there. He still had his curiosities, but they didn't bother him as much. He didn't really care that he was stuck driving on one of the hidden highways all night long even though more experienced agents seemed to show up without the need for transportation.
Quarter had already explained about the effect space travel had on time. The truth was that no ship or craft of any kind could reasonably traverse the distance between stars while carrying living beings. The lights and objects that witnesses see in the sky are really just the visible manifestation of an alien signal making contact. To arrive on a distant planet, you had to have a probe there that could open a signal. Or you could take advantage of signals created either naturally or by that planet's inhabitants. That signal could be used to transfer a lifeform to another world. It could even be used to construct the bioforms that space travelers needed to survive in an alternate atmosphere. Nickel knew that the aliens used false bodies. He had even been on two missions that had involved the disposal of discarded alien bioforms.
Of the secrets that Quarter revealed on the drive, the most important was that aliens weren't often aware of their own biggest problem. They didn't necessarily arrive at the moment they expected. Travel through space required travel through time as well. Quarter repeated the idea, because he liked to do that. "Alien visits are limited. They can't just drop in and stay put. They can only remain as long as their transference lasts. So they make the most of the time they have, popping in and out throughout the parameters of the signal on Earth. A series of alien visitations doesn't have to occur in chronological order. What seems like the first alien visit to an Earth witness might really be the fifth time the aliens have shown up from the alien perspective."
"But witnesses don't usually know that the aliens are disoriented like that."
"The aliens don't even know it. It doesn't help that most aliens, particularly most joyrider punks, don't have the best translation devices."
* * * *
Earl locked the workshop and trudged home, wishing he could fix his car as easily as he could a toaster. When Earl looked up he wondered, "Was that one of the weird lights or was it just a shooting star? Probably just a shooting star."
Earl slowed his walk. He felt the slight tingling he sometimes did when he was about to get a mild electrical shock. He realized then that he had felt it earlier in the shop. Then he thought he heard something, like someone was following him. He stopped and looked around. "Am I alone?" Earl turned in place and nearly shouted when he saw the alien again.
"Do not fear," he said. He stood stock still. He was getting used to the Earth style sense of balance, but he couldn't walk around with perfect ease. He hoped his stillness seemed dramatic.
"Well then don't sneak up on me, damn it!" Earl realized that he had just shouted at an alien. He became appropriately reverent in the next moment. "We stopped working on the thing. Do you already know what to do?"
The alien seemed a little confused about that. He actually looked over his shoulder like maybe Earl was talking to someone behind him. Earl felt a little comforted at the aliens' human mannerisms. It told him, "I am Ceen."
"Yeah, I see you."
A blank moment, then the alien clarified, "Ceen is what I am called. Your designation?"
"My? My name?"
Earl was confused. "Are you the same one?"
"The same?"
Earl wondered if words cost the alien money, the way he scrimped on them. "You want to tell us how to build that thing, right?"
Ceen said, "That is correct. George told you that?"
"Huh? You did."
"I did what?" Then Ceen decided that the garbled communications weren't as important as his main purpose. "You will change your world. What is your name?"
"I'm Earl."
"Earl. I have spoken to your companion George. I am here to help your species."
"And you need our help?," Earl asked.
Ceen was happy that he had consulted Plax's Guide to Local Idioms. "Teach a man to fish."
"What about fish?"
"The machine. It will change everything. I will show you when I see you next. Are you willing to help?"
"Of course. What do I have to do?" Earl didn't get an answer. The alien stepped back, and there was that pop again, like something was unstuck from the world. Then Earl was alone.
* * * *
The black sedan rolled off the hidden highway onto a local road. The Q-sight drug gave both of the agents extra senses that let them feel the unusual alteration of timespace in the area. It was something very small, but it was apparently enough for an alien to arrive in the area.
Quarter told the rookie, "We're going to rendezvous with Dollar at a black site outside of the Shoesole Lakes area. What does it profit a lake to gain a shoe, but lose its sole?"
"Sir? That doesn't even work as a pun."
"There's hidden meaning in it. There's hidden meaning in everything."
Nickel nodded carefully. It was one of the inside jokes of the organization. One of the reasons that no one could trace the activities of the organization was that not a lot of agents even knew what was going on. Everything was hidden even from them. Quarter was a level five agent. That meant that he knew where a lot of resources were, like a black site that was coincidentally available near a cluster of small towns they were going to surveil. Nickel doubted that even Quarter knew how a black site could be right there, but Nickel knew better than to ask. Considering what he had just learned about the aliens, he had started to wonder if the rumors among the rookies were true. Did the level sevens really get their orders from the future?
Quarter led him turn by turn onto a dirt path through the trees. Nickel was a bit sorry about the Q-sight then. He knew that if he were completely himself that he would find the area beautiful. As it was, he was unaffected. Disaffected. Disinfected. Damn. Have to watch that wordplay. Nickel admired Quarter, but he didn't want to start thinking like him.
The black site was under the floorboards of an old abandoned building. It might have been an old schoolhouse. Under the dust and time they had a spotless command center and all the amenities of the agency. Dollar was a tall, thin, gaunt faced man whose voice reminded Nickel of Christopher Lee. "Quarter. Congratulations."
Nickel wondered what the congratulations were for, but again, he knew better than to ask. The level five agent tapped the side of his shades in the greeting salute to a superior. "Ready for action, sir. What do we know so far?"
"Very little, I'm afraid. That's why you're here. We've isolated the signal to a town called Plakerton, but beyond that we have no real details. We believe there to be a single psychic intrusion from another world, but be prepared for more. You know how these creepozoids can be. They travel in packs. Except when they don't. We have the scanners and optics running, but we don't know where to appear yet."
* * * *
Neither George nor Earl had really slept. How could they when they were waiting for an alien to show up? Earl hadn't even taken a shower. He was worried that Ceen would pop in while he was washing. They sat around their workshop with the garage door closed. George was fairly annoyed about that. When the workshop was open, Earl would let him smoke inside, but with it closed he was nicotine free. He could step outside, but he knew, he just knew, that if he did that, then the alien would arrive while he was out of sight. They had already been over it, but George, in his irritated, smokeless state, had to ask again, "So how sure are you that it was the same one?"
"Pretty sure, George. I mean, I can't explain it, but he gives of this… vibe. I don't know."
"But he didn't know your name?"
"Well, after I thought about it, he asked, but that don't mean he didn't know."
"And he wants to go fishin'?"
"I don't think so."
"What did he say about fish exactly?"
"Somethin' about teachin' to fish. I don't know if we're supposed to teach him or he's supposed to teach us."
"Wait. Teach? Like he said that if you teach a man to fish?"
"Yeah!," Earl said gleefully. Sometimes George was so much smarter than he was.
"You idiot!"
"Whoa!" They could both feel it, that strange interference. "Are we supposed to close our eyes or anything?"
"He didn't say."
But then the alien crept casually around a shelf. This was Ceen's third appearance on the planet, but he had been there eight times already. "Friends George and Earl. I am sorry about the trouble with my last transference. For me it was painful. What you call a headache."
The alien's attitude was awfully positive considering the confusion so far. George nodded to him. "You're the same one we saw here before?"
"The same what?," the visitor asked.
Earl waved George's clarification off. George wasn't always smarter. Earl asked, "You're named Ceen?"
The alien's hands moved like he was tossing the question aside. His eyes were furrowed in confusion. "You know my name."
"Yeah, I mean, are you the only alien?"
Again, Ceen was completely at a loss. "There is an entire planet full, just as there are of your kind."
George was already baffled to the point of directness. "All right, I'm tired of this alien and Costello routine. Are you the only alien that Earl and I have met?"
"I do not know what other aliens you have met. You told me you had met others."
George's temper was about to really flare, so Earl decided to set the conversation straight. "Ceen, what did you mean about the fish?"
"NO!," George demanded. "Ignore that dumbass question. Tell us about the machine."
Ceen was grateful that George could cut to the important subject. "I am here so you can tell me about the machine."
"Oh, for God's sake," George said as he turned in place.
Ceen clarified, "I am here to examine your work."
"Oh," Earl said. "Sure. We were under the impression that you already knew all about it."
Ceen had no idea what that meant. How could he know what kind of progress they had made? George and Earl led him to a corner of the room where they pulled the tarp off of their invention. Ceen looked at it, then he looked at the Earthlings. When they didn't say anything, he was forced to ask, "Where is it?"
After glancing at each other, both of them said at once, "This is it."
Ceen frowned as much as his little mouth could allow. "The plans I gave you. What kind of progress have you made?"
George was too befuddled to still be angry. "You haven't given us the plans yet?"
"You have everything you need. Where is the machine?"
"This is the machine," George said. "This is what we were workin' on."
Ceen couldn't figure out what to say next, but he didn't have to. There was a knock on the door. Ceen scurried off to one of the back rooms. He didn't have much time left for this visit. He hadn't meant to give himself much time, and the connection had been distorted slightly anyway after his corrections. He could already feel the beginnings of disconnect with his bioform. If he didn't return soon, he would be forced to leave a body behind. He was already worried about any mental discordance from the corrupted transference of his last visit. So as soon as he was out of sight, he activated the return.
The popping sensation told George and Earl that their alien friend had left. It was just Miss Allard from the library wanting to know if they were done with her TV. For that they had to put off a talk with an alien.
* * * *
"We're zeroing in," Quarter said. He was tuning the knobs frantically. "It's gone. The intrusion has ceased already. I have a partial fix."
Dollar said, "Indicate it on the map."
Quarter demonstrated the technique to Nickel as he worked so that the rookie could take over the scanning if he had to. Once they established a set of coordinate boundaries, Quarter drew the shape neatly on an area map. The Q-sight drug allowed him a perfect motion that required no tools. Nickel saw the twitch of Dollar's left hand ring finger. It probably meant that Nickel was supposed to say the next thing, so the young agent said, "There are only four buildings in that area. Only one is a domicile."
Quarter said, "We can't assume that the intrusion appears within a home. We'll have to go watch that area ourselves. We'll need a spectrometer, binoculars, insulators and I wouldn't mind a bag of Oreos."

end of summer update
That's about as cute as it gets, huh? And don't you like my mom's snappy new look? She had her hair cut short right after the accident since she couldn't hold her hair dryer, etc. I think it's fab. Speaking of my mom, she is going to help me bottle peaches today, which I couldn't be more excited about. Provident living--yeehaw!
Shall we have a little update? I feel like all summer long I've been pretty absent. It's been busy. Texas, Girls' Camp, California, a couple illnesses. And every time a trip is over there is a week of recuperation time, you know? Plus we have had lots of family in town, which is always rad, and, please don't be offended dear little blog, but time with them is more important that keeping up over here. So that's been my summer. Busy. On the home front we've spent a lot of time watering our flowers and garden, making mud pies in our sand box, and baking mint chocolate chip cupcakes. I've had some really tough days with Blaine, but I really like my boys. In fact, last night I said something to Taylor that I never thought I'd say. While watching Rog sit on the counter, fat belly pooching out, stuffing goldfishies in his mouth for his bedtime snack and giggling with every crunch, I said: "I know I always say that if we have 5 boys then I will adopt a girl. But I don't really think I will."
And now, for the final portion of this random update: I have been collaborating on a new, big project. (You know, the bigger and better thing I hinted at, which is not, in fact, another child in my womb.) It's a new blog. And it launches September 1st. (Doesn't everyone need 3 blogs?!) I'm suuuuuper excited about it. You should be, too! OK that's a big enough hint for now. Excuse me while I go peel some peaches.

- Polaris
- 5 years ago
- Wedding: September 2013
I had mentioned before that I thought this might happen by the end of this year but honestly my (NOW) Fiance seemed so cool and calm, that I figured it would happen early next year and decided to just relax and enjoy our holiday together.
How wrong I was!
So here is how my guy proposed to me for those who are interested! We went to Disneyland on 12/30/2012 for what I ASSUMED was a hang out day with friends to celebrate the coming new year. We had a great day despite a random flash downpour and thunder storm. After drinks and dinner we decided to go to Tomorrowland Terrace to see one of my favorite local bands, Suburban Legends.
We were all just dancing and having a good time when the band tells everyone to make a circle and get down in their knees. everyone got hushed to see what they were doing. Then they called for Steevin to come to the middle and I was confused for a second. All at once I realized what was happening and cramed my purse into my friend hands and said "Oh crap! Take my sh*t!". And then he started taking and Aaron (a bandmember) pulled me to the middle of the circle to meet Steevin because my legs decided to stop working and just shake instead. LOL! Steevin got one one knee and asked me to be his wife. I said yes and we all got a HUGE group hug from everyone at the show and had our first dance as an engaged couple to a Ska version of "Kiss the Girl" from my all time favorite Disney movie, The Little Mermaid. It was perfect!!
If you'd like to see a video of the proposal, a friend recorded it for us (unbeknownst to me!) you can check it out here.
As for the ring… it is amazing! He took 2 years to design it (I did not know he was planning this at all 2 years ago!) and went through several design ideas
The ring is 18K Palladium white gold mounting with paterning, sterling silver inlay accents, and platinum bezels.The 5 Diamonds are the diamonds were the diamonds from my late grandmother's ring that my dad gave him for me. Giving this ring over 60 years worth of love power!
He told me the design itself is suppose to resemble a Galaxy with the Diamond in the center being the sun, and the others being it's neighboring planets and stars. His reason he said was that "She is my entire universe and I can't imagine venturing through life and uncharted territory without her."
AND I am a huge Disney Nerd so the ring features a little hidden mickey on the bottom side of the ring so that when I open my palm I can see it.

Hello, I hope your enjoying the world cup. Yesterday was the first time ever, where they stopped the game in order to let players get a drink of water. Very nice to see that money doesn't rule everything. To many of our games get interrupted by T.V timeouts and all this other advertising hoopla. Soccer with it's constant flow of the game is a welcomed reprieve from our media hungry society. Anyway I watched the way the players were using their hips to bend and jump and it reminded me of a dynamic chair pose. So many times in Yoga we do this pose with much to be desired. Make sure when you bend it's with your hips and not your lower back and or knees. The poses on the left is mechanically sound, while the pose on the right is creating undue stress or to much load on the lower back.

I wonder why these are called Aunt Julie's Summer Cookies? I don't know anyone named Aunt Julie. Maybe it's because someone visited their Aunt Julie in the summer and she made these cookies? Maybe it's because it makes a small batch and then the oven only had to be on a short time in the summer when it's hot? Maybe it's because Aunt Julie made them one summer and they were so delicious that the name stuck to commemorate that momentous occasion? At any rate – these might be some of the best cookies I've ever tried!!
Here is the recipe as I made them:
Aunt Julie's Summer Cookies
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter
2 egg yolks
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Roll in balls and dip in sugar.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 min.
Grandma was always a stickler for two things when baking cookies: number one, they had to all be the same size. I think I did a pretty good job of that. I have a small ice cream scoop that I use and it works pretty well to get them uniform. Number two, they had to be small. You go to a lot of work when you're baking and you want them to last. Make them small and you get more cookies out of a batch. I didn't do such a good job of making them small. I blame the ice cream scoop. This recipe made EXACTLY two dozen cookies.
Not only was this recipe marked as "very good", this time it was ALSO marked "best" and UNDERLINED!
I would have to agree with both assessments.

Arsenic and aluminum contaminate U.S. tap water supply, but only 5% of the population has a clue – and that's mostly because their mental capacity to research and understand this has been hampered by heavy metal toxin disorder. Remember, zombies do what the other zombies do, and that is drink tap water and eat arsenic-laden food.
From toxic chicken to "certified organic" from China, foods and drinks in America are laced with IQ lowering toxins, carcinogens, synthetic metal waste from factories, and top it off with Monsanto RoundUp and pesticides.
What to do about it?
The Health Ranger Mike Adams is discovering and sharing vital information and research on these very topics that have NEVER BEFORE been investigated as such. After all, the FDA and the CDC are in bed with Big Pharma, so they certainly aren't looking out for your health. The latest research shows that children cannot learn properly or to their potential when consuming arsenic, even at really low levels, like 5 ppb. But they're eating chicken and tuna and rice proteins that contain very high levels of all kinds of toxic heavy metals, like lead, cadmium, mercury, tungsten, aluminum and more. How could this be? Do the CAFOs, the confined animal feeding operations, make this situation horrific? You bet they do. Do the pesticides and herbicides that "corporate" big lot farms and their caretaker use, does all that ruin the water that runs off into lakes, rivers, and aquifers? Yes, surely it does. Who sells out to Monsanto and Bayer chemical divisions for profits, but then uses ten times the amount of toxins on their crops? Conventional food is poisoning humans, animals and the soil. GMO is super-toxic and destructive. GMO is not helping anything. It doesn't help with starving countries and it certainly has no place in medicine. You better watch what you and your children consume, every day and in every way. Stay tuned to the Health Ranger, watch educational videos, share them at work and in your spare time with relatives and friends. This is how we learn and grow and remain sustainable on this planet. Move forward with your day, feed your brain and heart organic food, and do your best to never consume heavy metal toxins. Here is the research from Natural News:
FDA has no limit on arsenic in foods
Even though the EPA has a limit of 10 ppb of arsenic in drinking water, the FDA has no limit on arsenic in foods, superfoods or supplements. To many Americans, this is bewildering: Why would the FDA have no limit on toxic heavy metals in the U.S. food supply?

I must say, getting sick during the school year had it's perks. Not only do I get to lay around the house all day, but I also just get time to stop everything around me that's going on and relax. *sigh of relief*
I wish I could say I'm totally enjoying this little break of mine, but actually things have just gotten weird. Last night I had a killer headache and an upset stomach, so naturally sir Johnny Depp was in great need. I'll be honest with you, I've never really understood why girls were so in love with him until last night. I mean holly crap, have you looked at that guys cheekbones!?!? If you haven't now, here is your chance:
I mean honestly, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has never looked so good. Don't get me wrong, I'm really not one of those girls who has posters of every hot celebrity guy out there, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the qualities that God has given them.. Amen to Johnny!
Unfortunately, the excitement has not continued since. This morning has been filled with laying on the couch, doing homework, wondering what I'm missing in class, what my friends are doing, and picking a raspberry's every single seed apart one by one (took forever by the way, who knew they had so many seeds!). Hopefully I'll be back in school tomorrow so I'm not as bored out of my mind. If anyone has ideas though of how to entertain myself for the rest of the day, let me know! Enjoy your day everybody, stay sane.
