As your high school senior prepares to finish out the school year, one of the items on your to-do list should be to schedule a teeth cleaning. Discovery Dental in Eagle River, AK, offers dental care for kids of all ages, including teens. And with all the upcoming events on your student's schedule, like the prom, senior photos, and graduation, calling their dentist for an appointment will benefit them in a number of ways.
3 Benefits of Making a Dentist Appointment for Your High School Senior

These next few months offer ideal opportunities for quality photographs of your high school senior. From professional portraits for the yearbook to group prom photos in your backyard, your adolescent's fantastic smile is something you can put on your wall to enjoy for years to come.
3. It'll Improve Their Dental Health
An appointment with the dentist results in more than an attractive smile for your teenager: It ensures they have good oral health and addresses any issues. Take advantage of having your teen still living at home to check on their dental health. The examination will catch cavities and other issues to prevent gum disease, tooth loss, and other serious problems.
So before your teen's prom, graduation, or senior photos, call (907) 622-5437 to schedule an appointment with a dentist at Discovery Dental so your high school senior will have a fantastic smile to flash during these exciting events. You can also visit them online to learn more.

The U.S. - Turkish Relationship: Blueprint for the Future
Turkey is now at an important crossroads. There are worrying indications that Turkey will miss the opportunity to reclaim its rightful position on the world stage if the AK Party continues to make the same kinds of mistakes it has made already with the United States and Europe. Turkey must respond with a full-fledged and sincere attempt to repair the damage.
There is no question that the military alliance should continue. Some of those furious with Turkey have raised the prospect of replacing Incirlik with a base in Iraq. This would be an enormous error on our side, and one that I hope we do not make. There is no question that the economic partnership should be revitalized. However, it is time for the United States to seriously consider ways in which it can deepen its relationship in other areas, most notably education, with this most important ally. Turkey should lead the way, set the example, for the many countries of the world struggling to emerge from poverty and oppression.
Speaking of Washington's view of Turkey in the late nineties, former ambassador to Turkey Mark Parris recently stated: "If Turkey could be modern, democratic, and prosperous, and a responsible player on the world stage, so arguably, could other countries with Muslim traditions. Even before 9/11, that was a powerful fact. In a very real sense, Turkey's success would be our success."
There are a number of ways in which Turkey and the United States can work together to restore the high level of trust that has existed for the past fifty years:
---Turkey should be involved in the reconstruction of Iraq. It is very important that the Turkish leadership be encouraged to take a positive view of the implementation of a democratic system in this neighboring country. Turkey has a great deal to contribute as a role model and trading partner. Turkey should be a real player in the reconfiguration of the Middle East.
---Turkey should work to maintain its strong ties to Israel. Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom visited Turkey on April 14th. In his meetings with President Necdet Sezer, Prime Minister Recip Tayyip Erdogan, and Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul, there were serious discussions about regional stability. As two democratic states in the region, Turkey and Israel have many shared interests. In many ways, Israelis have a better understanding of the dilemmas facing Turkey than do many Americans.
---Turkey should continue to pursue membership in the European Union. After the U.K. and France, Turkey is certainly the most serious military power in Europe. Turkey has a great deal to offer Europe in terms of security. Turkey's dynamic young population, if appropriately educated for the modern technological world, can make a great contribution to a Europe with aging populations and low birth rates.
---Turkey should take an active role in the resolution of the Cyprus issue. Cyprus should belong to the Cypriots. Both Greece and Turkey have to let go. The young people of Cyprus, whether ethnic Greeks or ethnic Turks, deserve to make a good future for themselves and their children by working together. France and Germany reconciled after centuries of war, why not Greek and Turkish Cypriots?
When trust and mutual understanding have been allowed to erode, both sides have to make an extra effort to repair the damage. It is obvious that Pentagon - Turkish General Staff contacts should intensify. It is clear that economic cooperation between Turkey and the U.S. should be amplified.
Most important, in terms of the long term investment in the relationship, it is essential that a true intellectual dialogue be established through academic and cultural contacts so that Turks and Americans are able to successfully communicate with one another. There is no question that there will be areas of disagreement in the future, but differences between friends are more easily resolved when those friends understand one another. We must encourage academics, journalists and government officials from Turkey to visit the United States. Turkey should similarly encourage such visits from Americans. Years ago, when the Peace Corps was active, a number of the returned volunteers, having acquired fluency in the Turkish language, went on do their doctoral degrees in Turkish or Ottoman Studies, some here in the Near Eastern Studies Department of this great university. These individuals provided an enormous resource for the United States by interpreting developments in Turkey and explaining Turkish history and culture to our university communities and our government policy making officials.
When an American Fulbright scholar spends a year in Turkey, he or she will provide an opportunity for countless young people to have direct contact with American ideas and values. When a Turkish Fulbright scholar acquires a doctoral degree in the United States, he or she will provide a similar opportunity for Americans. This is a very important investment in the Turkish - American relationship.
Turkey is indeed at the crossroads. By making right choices now, it can proceed to fulfill the dreams and aspirations of the Turkish Republic. We hope that those choices will include a conscious decision to reestablish the strategic partnership with the United States, and to deepen and expand our friendship of the past fifty years so that it will endure over the coming decades of this new Millennium.

Aquinas Chardonnay 2003
Winemaker Notes
-Wine Enthusiast
Light straw color with very rich, vanilla oak aromas with peach and crème brulee tones that linger. The palate is lush with Meyer lemon, light caramel, jasmine and sweet papaya flavors.
A great wine for aperitif pairing with finger-foods like warm goat cheese wrapped in filo dough, wild mushroom tarts or tomato, cucumber and lime juice Ahi tuna poke.
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
Aquinas wines are born from our belief that sophisticated, luxurious wines from pre-eminent appellations should be within the reach of all. We meticulously scour Napa Valley, leveraging generations of deep relationships to find the perfect fruit. Then, we pull upon decades of award-winning winemaking—itself an inherent blend of science and mysticism—to create wines that transcend their temporal origins.
Despite their accessibility, or perhaps because of it, Aquinas wines have been well-received by critics across the country. A string of gold and silver medals has served to further underscore the faith we hold in our founding convictions.
One of the world's most highly regarded regions for wine production and tourism, the Napa Valley is the AVA that brought worldwide recognition to California winemaking. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two are St.-Helena and the valley's newest AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap District, and Mt. Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it's grown and how it's made. In Burgundy, Chardonnay produces some of the finest white wines in the world, typically tending towards minimal intervention in the winery and at its best resulting in remarkable longevity. This grape is popular throughout the world, but perhaps its second most important home is in California, where both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines enjoy great popularity. Oregon, Australia, South America, South Africa, and New Zealand are also significant producers of Chardonnay.
In the Glass
When planted on cool sites, Chardonnay's flavors tend towards grapefruit, green apple, minerals, and white stone fruit, while warmer locations coax out richer, more tropical flavors of fig, melon, and pineapple. Oak can add notes of vanilla, coconut, and spice (as well as texture), while malolactic fermentation can impart soft, buttery acidity.
Perfect Pairings
Chardonnay is as versatile at the table as it is in the vineyard. The crisp, clean, Chablis-like styles go well with simple seafood, light chicken dishes, and salads. Richer Chardonnays marry well with cream or oil-based sauces.
Sommelier Secret
Since the 1990s, big, oaky, buttery Chardonnays from California have enjoyed explosive popularity. More recently, the pendulum has begun to swing in the opposite direction, towards a clean, crisp style that rarely utilizes new oak. These Old-World style wines have been dubbed the "New California Chardonnays," and anyone who claims they do not like Chardonnay should give them a try.

Thread: Re-inspections
I can't find previous posts on re-inspections. Below paragraph is one of several on my certifications page.
The home inspector is under no obligation to make amendments/modifications or updates or to verify or inspect repairs or alterations based on new information made available after the home inspection is completed.
I have yet to do a re-inspection.
I inspected a $100,000 home recently that probably had $20,000+/- in problems that included practically everything except the roof. Borrower emailed, will need a re-inspection very soon as sellers have just about completed all repairs, will need a mold inspection also. I havent responded yet but I need to soon.

Re: Re-inspections
Hi Dan,
I just replied to this subject in another post. Check new posts.
If you haven't done a reinspection yet, you'll have to decide if you're going to do them at all.
I hate doing them, but I do them. I do try and discourage the clients from hiring me to do them, but if they have their heart set on it then I'll do it.
The key is to follow their repair addendum or whatever aggreement they have made with the seller. Read it carefully. Make sure you understand what they are agreeing to. You're not inspecting per the SOP at this point. You got to understand this or you will get yourself in trouble.
That's what makes reinspections so tricky.

Re: Re-inspections
I have gathered this from Inspection News over time. Most I believe is from EC and WC Jerry's. Take what you need.
.......... Home Inspection does not do Re-inspections.
Re-inspections are not recommended as ........ Home Inspection after reviewing the corrections refers the client back to the contractors work repair order and any guaranties provided by the contractor.
For Example. Your family physician is a generalist. (Home Inspector) And he or she sends you to a specialist, such as a dermatologist, and the dermatologist performs some procedure on you. Do you now return to your family physician and ask him or her if what the specialist did is correct? No. If you have concerns, you go to another dermatologist. Your family physician is not qualified to pass judgment on the specialist.
I have never endorsed re-inspections because in essence the inspector is "blessing" the repairs/modifications of others and will be held legally responsible for work done without his/her oversight.
If you are going to do the Re-inspection as some here do.
It is recommended that documentation be obtained from the contractors performing the repairs for any applicable warranties or guarantees.
Licensed Contractor should provide you with the following.
-provide you with the written quotes for the work to be done. (Details on materials etc. Quality?)
- provide you with the written work order stating what was done.
- provide you with the written invoice marked "Paid In Full",
- provide you with the company name, address and phone number and the person who is licensed license number.
- provide you with that company's insurance certificate.
- provide you with that company's guarantee covering the work.
Re: Re-inspections
I just turned down an inspection of a home that was hit by lightning. The wiring in the home was toast. The family was also having an adition of a family room over a garage. He is concerned with mainly the electric as to is the electrician doing everything he should. Nope, aint doing it. I told him to wait for completion and then bring in another electrician to test all the circuits and proper grounding to make sure the first electrician did not miss anyhting.

Re: Re-inspections
To do a proper reinspection you need to see things as a work in progress. If you comeback and are trying to insprect items that are inpart inaccessible you need to state that in your report. ID the inaccessible areas and why. take photos of the areas. The work that was done and then completed/behind sheetrock/walls is where I find all the problems.
Re: Re-inspections
If the repairs were not done by appropriately licensed and competent contractors, consider the repairs as "Not done."
If the repairs were done by appropriately licensed and competent contractors, those contractors will offer their own warranty for their work, consider those repairs as "Not needing inspecting."
Okay, now just what was it your client wants you to re-inspect? Things which were "not done"? Why?
There is no need to re-inspect repairs which do "not need inspecting".
There is no 'win' side for you with this.
Either you disappoint your client by not re-inspecting, but you should be able to reduce that disappointment by explaining why it is not needed, or, you may get called back to address something which supposedly had been repaired, which you said was okie dokie, yet which then later failed to perform. The later can cost you money out of your pocket.
About all you can safely state is 'Yeppers, they put a new roof on. But I can't tell you anything about how it was done.'
In which case, why take your clients money just to tell them nothing of substance? You'll keep their referral longer by telling them not to waste their money on a re-inspection, as much as you would like to take their money, there is no need to.

Re: Re-inspections
Thanks for all.
Buyers want out of this in a bad way. If the realtor was truly looking out for the buyers best interest, the realtor (representing the buyers) would not have used the Local MLS Contract of Sale. Local MLS Contract of Sale gives the sellers the right to repair or refuse repair if they so choose once they have been furnished a copy of the report by the buyers realtor. If sellers decide to make repairs, the buyer has little choice but to continue or forfeit earnest money. On the other hand, Missouri Association of Realtors Contract of Sale is the opposite. Missouri Association of Realtors Contract of Sale gives the buyers the right to decline the property and receive back all earnest money if the home inspection is not of the buyers satisfaction (the contract I use). With the local MLS Contract of Sale, the buyer is closer to trapped thus protecting the realtors paycheck.

Re: Re-inspections
This would be my pitch to the buyer, to give to their agent, who hopefully is not real stupid (or they may live to regret it).
Tell your client that *IF* you do a re-inspection, you will do a re-inspection, and if you see anything else wrong which was not wrong before, you will note that too, because, as the contract states (at least it should so state) 'the seller is obligated to maintain the house in the condition in which it was when offered for sale, other than making repairs, and minor wear and tear'.
That means that if you 'missed' something, you really did not 'miss it', obviously, it was 'okay at the time of inspection', which means the seller had to maintain it in that 'okay' condition. If they did not, and you now see it and write it up, the seller must now correct that too.
Talk about opening a can of worms, man, I could go in there an open a real big can of real big worms, making the real estate agent and seller totally regret they tried to force the buyer to buy it.
That said, why is the buyer trying to back out? That is, after all, what contracts are for - one party agrees to buy at a give price and the other party agrees to sell at that given price. A contract is supposed to protect both parties.
Sounds like that contract does not, in which case I would love to come out with a 'jeez, guys, you really let this place deteriorate since the inspection, this, and this, and this, and this, and ... all need to be replaced, and it's only another $50,000.

Re: Re-inspections
Like I said I hate doing reinspections and I don't do very many.
In my area they are mostly done to confirm whether anything was done at all or to obtain a clearance on pest & dryrot reports.
If you're going to do them, the work is more in the vein of a construction consultant. You're going to need a skill set beyond the scope of your typical HI SOP and in IMO you should be good and comfortable at writing narrative.
The principal problems I run into are:
- Sellers simply agreeing to and not carefully reading the buyers repair addendum as we call them here.
- Contractors doing the same. But in defense of the contractor, when I have had a chance to talk with them, they never saw my report or the repair addendum just the hand waving of the seller or realtor.
- Bubba doing the repairs.
Like I have said, it's about inspecting to the mutually accepted repair addendum not my areas HI SOP.
Just so you know, I have no broiler plated disclaimers, disclosures or limitation of liability statements when I write my reinspection reports.
You need to think in terms of giving advice, not giving the client some wording that acts as some kind of assurance.

Re: Re-inspections
My shpiel when asked about doing reinspects:
"Be sure to have the seller provide receipts and invoices from the professionals who performed the repairs as proof it was completed by professionals. Then you have somebody to contact if something is not done right. If the sellers cannot provide any paperwork for repairs, then the repairs should be considered suspect in nature."
I have done reinspects in the past and now avoid them like the plague. Plus, my E&O carrier Allen Ins. will not cover me for them and them and I don't like swinging without a net.
Some inspectors wil say that you are doing your clients a disservice by not performing reinspects and some will say you are losing out on potential revenue. To each their own. You have to do what makes sense for you and what you feel comfortable doing. Personally, I don't like putting my stamp of approval on repair work I can't be 100% certain was done correctly.
Re: Re-inspections
This is how and the only way I will do a re-inspection
1. The fee is 50% of the original fee. This deters most from going ahead a re-inspection.
2. I must have original receipts from the contractors for the work that was done.
3. Only those items that have receipts are inspected.
4. I do not look at any other items. So if anything has happened since the original inspection, it is not part of the re-inspection.

Re: Re-inspections
As often as this topic comes up and as often as I read the paranoid, ridiculous responses to it by those who don't do re-inspections, I still fail to be swayed by the points.
I do re-inspections when a client asks. I don't push it as a service. Usually it is for minor issues, once in a while it will be for more significant items. Major or technical issues that cost lots of money (my) buyer's prefer to get credit for rather than rely on the Seller to perform the work properly.
House needs a new furnace - buyer wants credit so they can choose the system of their liking.
- Has the problem been solved, yes or no?
- Who did the work?
- Has the problem been solved in a safe, professional, lasting manner?
- Does the repair not create other problems?
It's not rocket science. Clients are happy and usually all parties are happy because the deal can go forward. The Seller's aren't happy that X was written, but for me at least, have been polite and happy when issues were discussed and resolved. People talk, I listen, people tend to finish the deal happy.

Re: Re-inspections
You brought tears to my eyes with that ending. Kidding. Almost though. Still Kidding
Seriously though. I do re inspections. Practically never but I do them.
Quite frankly, if it is something overly visible, fine. If it is something I am not going to see as a newly finished piece of drywall then no I won't waste their money.
I have posted concerns so many times about everyone being scared to death in this business. I will say it again. I have building, remodeling, inspecting, doing the commercial thing all my life. From my teens to the ripe older age of 54. Have I ever had anyone ever try to get something from me for nothing, yes. Have I ever received a letter from a lawyer, yes. Has anyone ever received money from me for anything, no, or for that matter gone to court. Why, because it was always bull s**t
Lets face it. If you did get taken to court and actually found guilty for gross negligence then so be it. If your guilty, pay the piper.
Stop with the I am scared to death crap. Do your job, do it well. Let people know where you stand. Give them what ever paper work you may feel necessary. I would tell you all a little secret but I won't. (hire Vinny to pay them a visit) kidding. I am still not telling you the secret.

Re: Re-inspections
I honestly hope those that perfrom re-inspections keep doing so. They are providing me and others who do what I do a consistant income flow. I hope this statement does not sound arrogant because it is not meant to be, but when you can see what's on the other side of the litigation wall you tend to see the bigger picture when it comes to legal liability.

Don't worry Jerry, you don't sound aragant, especially since you can't spell arrogant.
Maybe it is because I have spent so much time in the courtroom defending clients on both sides of the aisle that I am less worried than others.
I have to agree with Ted. If you do your job well, you can overcome the obstacles others want to throw in your path.

Re: Re-inspections
The re-inspection argument will likely go on until the end of time. I understand and see the points on both sides.
I don't like them but have made a business decision to do them in some cases. JP's analysis about licensed contractors is pretty much right on. The only counterpoint I might offer is that these are the same contractors he swears can't do anything right while building a house. I'm not sure how/why they are all of the sudden qualified when doing repairs and require no supervision or checking up on. But I do understand not wanting to be the one held responsible for supervising/checking up on them. It's a huge liability.
I like re-inspections to check simple things in places a buyer isn't or doesn't want to go.
Is the dryer vent in the crawl space repaired?
Is the bath fan attached and vented out of the house?
Are the wood scraps out of the crawl space?
Are the A/C lines and plumbing pipes secured off of the ground?
Stuff that is not 'hi-tech' - Just simple things that Joe Buyer and Sally Realtor don't want to crawl around to verify. The idea that a contractor offers a warranty is great but 5 years down the road when the bath fan wan't hooked up and the attic is now full of mold, good luck finding Mr. Contractor.
And sure, you could hold the seller that was supposed to perform the repairs responsible but that's just not realistic.
Our business is as much about customer service as anything else and you're free to offer or refuse to offer whatever services you like. Just don't be surprised if your phone doesn't ring if/when you're known around town and the angry/grumpy inspector.
Re: Re-inspections
My E&O carrier now covers re-inspections should I choose to do them.
They changed their position, and now view it as a continuation of the original inspection (as far as contracts are concerned).
I still try not to do them.

How does not performing reinspects or not offering a service make somebody an angry/grumpy inspector?
Re: Re-inspections
Im off the hook on that re-inspection. Ive read all the posts. Here is my stance for the future. I will do a re-inspection when asked, for a fee. If I didnt I would feel like I was leaving my client to the wolves. My one page re-inspection report is going to rather vague and Im going to leave that paragraph in my certifications page just incase I need an out.
The home inspector is under no obligation to make amendments/modifications or updates or to verify or inspect repairs or alterations based on new information made available after the home inspection is completed.
I used that paragraph once for an out. Property had termites, roof leaked in a dozen places, there must have been a hundred gigs. Turns out seller was the contractor that made all repairs seller thought necessary. No receipts, invoices, warranties, nothing. I smelled a rat and refused to do a re-inspection based on that paragraph.
Re: Re-inspections
1 - Get receipts from sellers from the professionals who did the work. No receipts mean the work should be considered suspect.
2 - There are things I can't see that may have needed to be done or were not done. You'd be paying me and all I can tell you is "Well, it looks ok". I don't want to waste your money when I can't tell you with 100% certainty the job was done properly.
3 - My E&O carrier does not extend my in$urance coverage for reinspects.
Not a complaint yet.

If there is happiness and tranquility there is also anger and frustration. Anger which normally leads to frustration is a result of anxiety. When we worry a lot, let me put it another way.When we are anxious about a result,the mind worries since it tries to analyze the outcome. It tries to achieve something which is beyond human capacity.When the mind rationalizes and fails to be accurate, fear takes over. A man's biggest enemy is 'his fear for failure'. This whole process leads to frustration and anger, as a result one can get depressed and dwell on negativity.Hence one does not like to take any amount of risk, and plays safe.
Say in a day's course, I over sleep as I result I have to rush to work.I quickly get ready to leave, just to find out my dad has borrowed my car.I have to either wait for him to return or catch a local train/auto.Some how I manage to reach office just to find my boss has arranged a meeting and I am late by 15 minutes. The awkwardness in joining the group late and catching up ,top it up you are asked for an update/input. Sigh…Its just a day, but these two hours have been a nightmare.Most important point being one blames individuals, rather than aspects of a situation, for problems.Eg. I oversleep,blame my family for not checking on me.Dad borrowed car,I am frustrated at him for taking my car.Woah can't my colleagues help postpone the meeting or least wait for me? Its basically the timing of events.But we human love blaming other people and show our frustration on them,thus inviting trouble for ourselves.Imagine the decisions I take in this due course and compare them with just a casual regular day.
Its easy to say then done "Stay Calm" because anger and frustration is an illness which grows to bring only misery and sadness.Least we can do is, when angry, think 100 times(hypothetically..) before implying it.Because we are responsible for all our actions!

Whatever way the wind blows
Last week was strange and wonderful.
on Tuesday evening, I was settling in for some late night television and maybe a too large bowl of ice cream, when my mobile rang. I didn't recognize the number and was about to ignore the call, when Sheryl informed me it was her mother calling. I answered. I can't recall the exact words she spoke first, but in my memory, the conversation goes something like this-
"Hello, would you like to go on an adventure?"
To where?
"Mary and Jason are stranded in Roswell and need rescuing. I need a second driver. Would you be willing to come along?"
Sure. When do you want to leave?
"Oh, either tonight or early tomorrow."
All the best adventures begin this way.
When I was younger, it wasn't uncommon to head out someplace with very little planning. Those sorts of adventures were often a great deal shorter in distance than a drive to Roswell, but once, Sheryl and I took a day trip (on an itch I needed to scratch) to Brianhead with only some gas money and a vague idea of when we might be home. We were dating then, and the entire enterprise seemed so grown-up, a bit dangerous, certainly more adventurous than either of us had been before.
On my LDS mission, I would often go whichever way the wind (or other visiting missionaries) would take me. we traveled the spaces between townships, experiencing the entirety of New Hampshire and Maine, even taking excursions to Boston and Vermont. These are some of my happiest memories from that time, and are the main reasons I fell in love with New England. I learned to love the rolling roads, the sudden curves, canopies of trees that covered the roadways. Most of the time, these trips had a destination, but with the exception of Boston, the drives themselves, the conversations and relationships built were the point.
I experienced this type of connection again on my adventure through New Mexico.
I have known my in-laws for over 20 years and feel like they are as much my family as my own parents and siblings. More times than I can count, these wonderful people (and their children and their spouses) have come to my rescue, helped me move, fixed things around my house, attended events for my children, etc. When I first married Sheryl, we were offered the use of a 3 bedroom house in Provo, nearly free of rent. It was my introduction to the unconditional love that pours out from the Kemptons. While I knew about the compassion and charity of my mother and father in-law, I knew very little about them beyond some basic where and when sort of things.
This trip changed that.
My mother in-law and I spent two days together, driving, talking, sharing. After all this time, I finally feel like I know her. Maybe it would be better to say I feel like I finally understand her. That seems more accurate. We drove without the presence of any distractions- No music, no one else in the car- for the entire drive down. We drove through beautiful and bland countryside, through towns and cities, and finally, through the flat lands near and around Roswell. We conversed until our throats were sore. We shared stories and feelings, motivations and moments that shaped our lives. There was no judgment, no uncomfortable topics. It was very much like the road trips I remembered from New England. It was equally fulfilling.
We rescued Mary and Jason, filling the van with their things and their children, then driving back to Utah with everyone safe and sound. I am forever grateful for accepting the offer to go on such a fantastic adventure, and I am equally grateful for the chance to give a little bit back to a family that has always done so much for me.
One place the wind took us was a short stop near an abandoned house/business of some kind. I am intrigued by such places, and though I rarely stop and take a look, I often imagine the sorts of lives that once filled these places. What circumstances brought them to this moment, where they sit empty by the roadside? This was the only picture I took during my two day road trip.
There were towns along this road that looked very much like this place- abandoned, boarded up buildings. Places that have stories. Most of those remain untold and are forever lost.
I don't want the stories that affect my life to go unmarked, or have them fade into nothingness like the moments that surround this building.
Instead, I share them with you. It feels right.

Yesterday I could leave the room and they wouldn't have moved. Tomorrow they will be the ones leaving and me the one staying put.
Why is it so hard to be present in today? Our minds always in the past or the future. Always waiting for it to get better, next time, last time, the next big thing, the good old days. Rarely content to enjoy today, to see what we have now.
Yesterday I had to watch them constantly, change diapers, potty train, feed, buckle up. Yesterday they miss-said words in the cutest possible way! They couldn't walk or talk, then they learned. Yesterday was filled with depression, loneliness, waiting for pre-DrH to get off work, for friends to get off work. Yesterday we hadn't the time or money to go anywhere. Yesterday we were married, had 2 babies, and much love. Yesterday there was ups and downs, trials and blessings, struggles and good times. Yesterday I lived by my best friend. Yesterday they learned to ride bikes, made friends, brought me joy and laughter (and frustration!!!).
Tomorrow they will go out into the world. They will be changing diapers and potty training their kids. Tomorrow they will know more words than me. They will walk and talk to change the world. Tomorrow I'll have to be one of those who work. Tomorrow we will go more places than ever before. Tomorrow we will still be married, and my babies will have babies of their own, and we will still have much love. Tomorrow will also have ups and downs, trials and blessings, struggles and good times. Tomorrow my health will decline, my friends will die. Tomorrow my best friend will come for a visit. Tomorrow they will make me proud of the men they have become!
Today though, today they buckle themselves, wipe their own butts, and still let me hug them in public. Today they are still little and innocent. They make me sweet cards and tell cute stories. They are filled with wonder and curiosity. Today I get some time to relax and do some things I want. Today I get to see them grow up. Today we have gotten to see some amazing places and make memories for tomorrow's yesterdays. Today I have help for my depression and friends to hang with who also don't have to work. Today has ups and downs, trials and blessings, struggles and good times. Today I am grateful for today! Today I am blessed.

He sat in his fathers car and the words wouldn't come. He sat there in the car that he could never afford and he thought about the life he was leading and where it was leading. He played with ideas about leaving the town. The idea of staying made him feel both sick and alone. Yet he already was sick. He was already alone. After a million disappointments he knew it was naive to believe that anywhere else would be different. But he thought that a different landscape; different face, would make the difference. Without worrying about what those who knew him wanted or expected.
Are you still painting?
Still writing?
So, where you working these days?
Living the dream yet?
Are you coming over Christmas day?
Without these distractions, he thought maybe he'd have a chance. Might be able to make a life that was, at the very least, tolerable.
He felt the back of his neck and winced with pain. There were knots within knots. Ancient knots. Scrunched up muscle caused by this, that and the other. And he knew that there would always be this, that and the other. But in his mind there was, if not a better place, somewhere he could lay down his head and know that, if it were going to be his last night of life, he could die with dignity.
A bus pulled up outside in the street. He heard the brakes screeching. Then he picked his nose with his little finger and wondered how to finish.

"The Amazon platform is so broad and also focuses on the millennial generation, which is very important for Kenmore to reach", Tom Park, the president of Kenmore, told CNBC in an interview Thursday.
Sears (NASDAQ:SHLD) +13.4% premarket after announcing it has launched Kenmore products on Amazon.com, including the full line of Kenmore Smart appliances with Amazon Alexa.
Amazon's Alexa assistant is now able to control an even wider range of home appliances. The Kenmore Smart air conditioner are available up to a capacity of 18,000 BTU. Smart appliances from Sears and its Kenmore brand are joining the list of hardware that can be used through voice commands to Amazon's Echo lineup of speakers and other Alexa-enabled devices. As well as Alexa integration, there's also a Kenmore Smart app for smartphones which can be used remotely to adjust temperature, set schedules, and control fan speed.More news: Pound climbs against the Euro ahead of European Central Bank meeting
"At the same time, Sears Home Services and our Innovel Solutions unit will benefit from the relationship as more customers experience their quality services for Kenmore products purchased on Amazon.com", Lampert added. Customers can enable the Kenmore Smart skill in the Alexa Skill Store, link their account and then begin asking Alexa to interact with their Kenmore Smart appliances. In fact, Kenmore itself says it was in almost one in three American homes in the early 2000s. The S&P 500 index is up almost 14% for the previous year. The chain has considering selling additional lines, including its DieHard vehicle batteries and Kenmore appliances businesses, and is unloading its vast real estate holdings.
"We continuously look for opportunities to enhance the reach of our iconic brands".
When Amazon users search for appliances, Kenmore branded products will be among the top brands featured.

Depending on the circumstances, a child daycare injury may entitle a parent to file a claim against a negligent party. A Denver personal injury attorney can help collect evidence that a caregiver's actions were careless or reckless and can be considered daycare negligence.
Types of Child Daycare Injuries
Entrusting a child to the care of another person isn't an easy decision to make. Parents shouldn't have to concern themselves with their child's safety or issues of daycare negligence. But the fact remains that some caregivers are neglectful or even downright abusive.
It's not uncommon for children to get injured. While most of these are minor and may not require anything more than a little comfort and a Band-Aid, other types of injuries can be serious or even fatal.
Falls are a common type of child daycare injury, especially from playground equipment. Whether care is provided in a home or at a center, it's expected that the equipment will be safe and children will be properly supervised while using it. If children fall from a great height or land on a hard surface (such as concrete), it can cause injuries to the head, spinal cord and brain. It may also result in multiple and/or severe fractures.
Another type of injury is when a child becomes seriously ill as a result of unsanitary conditions. This could be the result of the environment or even food preparation. One example is food poisoning. Young children can be at risk of becoming severely dehydrated or developing a serious complication from E. coli, hemolytic uremic syndrome. This causes damage to the blood vessels in the kidneys, which may even result in kidney failure.
An injury that can cause permanent brain damage or even death is Shaken Baby Syndrome. This is the result of a baby or young child being shaken vigorously, oftentimes stemming from a caregiver's frustrations over crying or having to attend to the child's needs.
Blood vessels and cells can be torn away from the brain. The consequences of this type of injury may include speech, hearing and vision impairment, along with paralysis, learning problems, developmental delays, mental retardation and subdural hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain).
Child abuse, whether it's physical or sexual, could also lead to injuries. In Colorado, daycare centers are required to perform background checks on employees. This includes checking the child abuse and sex offender registry. Failure to do so may be considered daycare negligence and may warrant intervention from a Denver personal injury attorney if a child is injured after being exposed to a dangerous individual.
A Denver Personal Injury Attorney Can Help Prove Liability for Child Daycare Injuries
The circumstances surrounding the injury will be a determining factor in who could be liable. As mentioned, a failure to supervise could be one type of negligence. Other types of daycare negligence could include failure to perform background checks or exposing children to unsanitary conditions.
In order to prove liability, negligence will need to be established. It may not only include a specific caregiver, but an entire facility in some cases.
When injuries aren't intentional (such as abuse), then it would need to be shown that the risk of injury was foreseeable. In other words, not having enough staff to supervise, not performing a background check (or performing a background check and knowingly hiring a dangerous individual), or not sanitizing toys and surfaces in the facility.
Contact Denver personal injury attorney D.J. Banovitz for help establishing daycare negligence and, ultimately, liability for a child's daycare injury.

Amelia Tat sentenced: Newborn mom received 2 years jail for having affair with 14yr old teen. Faced 20 years jail prior to plea deal.
Amelia Tat a 24 year old married Albemarle County, Virginia teacher has been sentenced to two years prison after pleading guilty to having an affair with a 14 year old student.
The woman prior to her plea deal had faced a potential jail sentence of 20 years had the case gone to trial.
Of note, the woman's sentencing comes four months after having given birth to a baby girl with her husband.
Tat's sentencing came Monday after having agreed to plead guilty to two charges of carnal knowledge of a minor in February.
As part of the plea deal, nbc29 reports prosecutors agreeing to dismiss a third charge of carnal knowledge and an additional count of taking indecent liberties with a child.
Of question among commentators on the web is if the teacher would have been offered the plea deal or the less than onerous sentencing conditions had the teacher and victim's genders been reversed.
Matters first came to the fore in 2015 when the then science teacher at Jack Jouett Middle School, Charlottesville began exchanging messages with her then 13-year-old student on Snapchat and Instagram.
Eventually, in an online chat, Tat confessed to having feelings for the teenager.
According to a police report, the married educator asked the boy to 'stay late and help her after class' one day, which led to them having sex on school grounds.
The teacher and student had intercourse at her house in Lynchburg at a later date, as well as after one of the boy's baseball games.
The illicit affair ended eight months later when the teenager's mother discovered messages from Tat on her son's phone and called police, resulting in Tat's arrest in June 2016.
By the time the boy's mother approached police, Tat had changed schools and begun teaching at Nelson County High School.
Amelia Tat Virginia teacher faces 20 years jail after sex with 13 year old
On Monday, Albemarle Circuit Court Judge Cheryl Higgins heard from a clinical psychologist who testified that Tat's incarceration would have an adverse effect on her newborn baby and would disrupt the attachment between the mother and child at a crucial moment in her development, reported The Daily Progress.
Prosecutors countered that the judge should take into consideration not only the well-being of the defendant's child, but also that of the teenage victim.
The boy himself took the stand during the hearing to tell the court that Tat has robbed him of 'a lot of firsts' and that he has been struggling with anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder in the aftermath of their relationship.
'She isn't the only child that comes into play in this case,' the victim said, referring to Tat's baby daughter.
Tat's defense attorney entered into the record dozens of letters written by friends and family in support of the teacher.
In the end, the judge sentenced Tat to 10 years in prison but suspended eight of them.
She is scheduled to report to prison on December 5 to begin serving her sentence, which will be followed by 18 months of supervised probation.
Tat also must pay $176 in restitution, stay out of trouble for the next 10 years, have no unsupervised contact with any minors, except for her baby daughter and stepdaughter, and undergo therapy at the expense of her family noted the dailymail.
Tat's husband and the father of her baby, Solomon Tat, would act as the child's primary caretaker in her absence, with assistance from grandparents.
Yet to be necessarily understood is what led to the 24 year old educator targeting the boy and sexually preying on him….which is to wonder to what degree the woman may have sought to subjugate her victim with her position of power and authority ….

Despite the recent election results in America pushing class concerns back into the limelight, the truth is that America has been struggling with its class identity for centuries. Since the time of British colonial settlement, millions of Americans have found themselves in an unwelcoming society eager to brand them as "waste people" and push them to the outskirts of society.

Novomatic designed this video slot with just 10 paylines and 5 reels, it has the usual type symbols, A, K, Q, J, 10 but also has appropriately themed Egyptian symbols, such as the scarab, sarcophagus with the adventurer being the highest valued symbol.
Even though it may not be the biggest jackpot in the world of fruit machines at only 500 coins. The fact that you can play as much as £400 for each and every spin (yikes!) or as low as just 10p depending on your budget gives you plenty of room to maneuver.
The main feature of the Book Of Ra fruit machine happens when the player gets more than 3 scatter symbols ie the books. The player is then given 10 free spins along with a randomly chosen symbol acting as an expanding symbol. The additional multiplier of 2x will double your winnings during this feature which is always nice.
In my opinion this slot is a fairly run of the mill game but is extremely popular for it's more simplistic approach. When you win, you win big though, which is the most important thing I suppose. Just be cautious when you first start to play it to get a feel for how it is playing.

Since today was as typical of a day I would ever get, (asides from getting out of school 40 minutes early because an assembly went way too short) I would do a special story time.
You probably not heard of it yet, but on my last major adventure I made big history. First off, I already set a record as the first person to time-travel. What is this time-travel device I am talking about? It in fact does not look like a box. It in fact, and is, an ex-military supersonic jet. I bought it cheap online, added a miniature oil refinery, because there was no airplane fuel before the industrial revolution. So this is my time machine. Einstein calculated that time-travel was impossible. I thought so at first, but if you could arrive in New York before you left London, about half an hour to be exact, on a Concorde, can't one multiply that and go back a day, more? So I did the test. The following story is my representation. Of course the people talked in their native dialect, but why should I tarry so?
I took my plane and flew it towards the west. I broke the sound barrier over the Pacific and pushed the engine as fast as I could get it to go. By the time I had to land to refuel, I was already a week in the past, said the airport clock. It was working. I was crazy, I wanted to go back as far as I could, even if it meant for me to become trapped in the old days. It was a sincere desire; I sat in that seat, making an occasional fuel stop. By some time, proper runways turned to dirt fields and then landing on some flat plain. My plane nearly got destroyed when I tried to land on the western front. Bad mistake. So it went swell. Past the 1800's, 1700's, 1600's, until the year 1256, according to my hand held gadget that calculated relative time versus speed and all that jazz. My plane just would not take off the ground. Then I realized, why don't I just enjoy the moment. Of course I landed near a castle, for there was no easier way to find that valued bacon grease that kings eat, so that I might use as fuel. I have never been in a castle before, so I walked up to the moat. The guards lowered the bridge and opened the gates for me to enter to the sound of trumpets. "We have been waiting for you to come for the last century." said Squiria, the king's assistant. "Our king wants us to build a time machine, and a whole list of other gadgets. But thanks to you, we can be set free." "So?", I asked. "You're here. You have relieved our mandate. "Squiria shall oversee that he shall bring a person from the future to our castle as part of project #34, proclaimed as Time Vacuum." Squiria said; "We were forced here, our people know that this is an impossible feat. That is why. It is so lucky you came, that I and others may return to the outside world." "But why was that King, so nice to me, so mean to you?" I asked. "He is afraid of the inevitable. About 20 years ago, when he learned about one way that he would be no better than us, he became afraid. He ordered his servants to round up anyone who was conscious and lock them in his castle to build something to protect himself."

Picture of Tsurphu Monastery the old man instagramed to illustrate this episode of Pulp Buddhism in which the Naropa Prairie Dog Players discuss the first Karmapa and the guru yoga, such as it was, of the first Karma Kagyu…
Jonathan begins.
"Once upon a time there was a place which we today call Tsurphu monastery."
Jonathan continues.
"Where how we today practice guru yoga as Karma Kagyu began."
Caroline replies.
"This is the origin story of who we are as Buddhists."
Caroline adds.
"How we do guru yoga."
Sally replies.
"What kind of disciple was the first Karma Kagyu?"
Caroline replies.
"The first Karma Kagyu is best known for what he did after the first Karmapa died."
Jonathan replies.
"Tsurphu, such as it was at the time, became his as his teacher's successor."
Sally replies.
"Did this person have a name."
Caroline replies.
"Drogon Rechenpa."
Jonathan replies.
"As the story goes the first Karmapa entrusted Drogon Rechenpa with the necessary details to recognize his successor."
Caroline replies.
"The first Karmapa was not to be succeeded by the first Karma kagyu."
Jonathan replies.
"His Holiness had something else in mind."
Caroline replies.
"The first Karmapa had decided that after he died he would return."
Jonathan adds.
"His Holiness had seen the circumstances of his future rebirth."
Caroline continues.
"And the first Karma Kagyu was instructed to fetch him when the time came."
Sally replies.
"Did he?"
Jonathan replies.
Sally replies.
"I'm confused."
Caroline replies.
"And this is how we practice guru yoga to this very day as Karma Kagyu."
End scene. Fini.
Another episode of Pulp Buddhism brought to you by the Naropa Prairie Dog Players and by viewers like you, thank you for your support.

The decade I have been assigned is the 1950's. First thing that sprung to mind is Grease Lightning, and I will make sure that I keep away from that kind of style. Instead I am thinking more about structure, accessories and lingerie, I like the vintage style bra's and high waisted underwear and I like how the clothing back then was used to help accentuate the shape of the figure. I will look more into the styling a little bit later, first my main focus is on the culture and the photographers of that era. Here is a couple that spring to mind:
- Irving Penn
- Richard Avedon
- Elliot Erwitt
- Robert Frank
All of these photographers are practitioners that I have previously heard of and have studied there work before. I will re-investigate these artists to find relevant information to help further my research. After further researching i have came across these photographers:
- Eve Arnold
- Robert Doisneau
- Ernst Haas
- Angus McBean
- Henry Clarke
- Francis Pellengrini
- John French
Who are all photographers that are completely relavent to the work I am looking to achieve and will help strengthen my work through using them as visual aids.

Tom Dear and Beth Dear are always doing cute little things to express their love for each other. Today, Beth has moved her nose over two inches to the left so Tom can kiss her.

Something about Elinor today reminds me of Norman Bates's mother. Tom Dear might be getting more than he bargained for. Of course, anyone who wears an orange and black sport coat and coordinating tie deserves trouble.
- June 24, 2013 at 8:13 AM
Wait a second! Are we talking about shacking up or does Tom intend to make an honest woman of Beth at 5:00 P.M. (when he gets home from work)?

It's not over yet because Mary's about to go on "vacation" and she's going to ask the transformed Elinor to fill in as guest columnist for the column Mary's filling in as guest columnist for while Wilbur's writing about his Italian adventure.

I'm so glad Information Box told us that Tom has "stopped by". Otherwise, we might think he had "stayed over", which would certainly have put Elinor off of her breakfast of kelkmeal, carrot mush and salted fish.
In the true annals of disgusting food, the Borden family breakfast menu on the day Lizze Took An Axe included leftover mutton soup and bananas. I have never looked further than that for motive.

Welp, this is obviously going to last forever. Guess I'll just amuse myself by counting how many Angry Gorgon looks Elinor shoots Tom Dear's way when he get outta line.
- June 24, 2013 at 10:21 AM
I agree with Anonymous @8:18. It seems like Tom wants them all to move it together before they even start planning the wedding!
- June 24, 2013 at 10:54 AM
Reminds me of the episode of Cheers when Diane meets Frasier's mother who casualy tells her she will kill her if she doesn't leave Frasier alone, while playing nice while Frasier is present. We can only hope for the same from Elinor when she gets Tom Honey alone. Unfortunately Moy isn't that clever.
- June 24, 2013 at 10:57 AM
Anonymous @ 8:00 - Something really bad is about to happen. I feel it too.
- June 24, 2013 at 11:28 AM
Even though I have a feeling Anon@8AM may be right, I'm hoping for something less drastic- Perhaps Tom's bitter shrew of an ex wife will show up, announcing that she's the daughter Elinor gave up for adoption, many years ago? Where will Elinor's loyalties lie, then?
''I know that you're in love with him, Beth- but Susan is the daughter of the love of MY life, who died before I could tell him I was carrying his child... unlike your father, who ran off with some harlot, leaving me to raise you on my own! And look how pretty she is!''
- June 24, 2013 at 12:17 PM
Tom's "ex", who just happens to be Jill Black, shows up. Seems they sort of forgot to get a divorce!
Doesn't that sound juicy?
- June 24, 2013 at 12:49 PM
@Brick at 11:28: by 'about to happen', do you mean 'in the next two months' or sooner? While this has been a breakneck pace for a MW plotline, this could go the route of abrupt return to Toby's suite for clown painting, coffee, and plot transition, or could be a lobng sweltering summer of Harpmans.
Will Elinor take Tom's name?
- June 24, 2013 at 12:51 PM
The way I see it, Beth takes off her glasses for the wedding, trips, dies and Tom is left to care for Elinor. AFter all, he is there for them both.
- June 24, 2013 at 2:43 PM
I forgot to mention that she dies because they believe she is faking a head injury to get out of the wedding. They weren't about to be fooled twice.
- June 24, 2013 at 2:51 PM
@Carlye at 12:49 PM, the only thing that would be even better than your scenario would be if Tom had also been canoodling with Nola Wolvenson at the same time. I wish...!

It's good to see Aqua Man is going to imaginary work after Skelinor's imaginary heart attack.
- June 24, 2013 at 5:37 PM
@daniel - I agree. Tom's "work" consists of hanging out at Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, a men's club now and then, walking through the malls, going to the beach, etc., and running up massive amounts of debt. Why else would he want to be anywhere near Elinor? She's the only one who has any money.
- June 24, 2013 at 6:31 PM
- Sandi Ego said...
fauxprof, that's hilarious. Even fresh mutton soup would probably entice me to commit a violent act.
- June 24, 2013 at 7:07 PM
Oh, let's HOPE they get a "bigger" place and move the heck right on out of Charterstone and Santa Royale. (Mr. Alorra, paging Mr. Alorra!)
- June 24, 2013 at 8:10 PM

Tom and Beth kissing looks exactly like how I used to mash my Ken and Barbie's heads together to make them kiss. No facial movement, just awkward bumping.

Theballerlife.com has learned that fgormer NBA star Stephon Marbury has officially paid off the remainder of the $900,000 "hush money" he owed his former personal chef Thurayyah Mitchell, who he cheated on his wife with back in 2006.
According TMZ.com, Marbury and Thurayyah Mitchell had a legal agreement she would keep quiet about the affair, if he coughed up $900,000.
Problem is … Marbury stopped paying around the $600,000 mark. So Mitchell dragged him to court earlier this year, and a judge ordered him to pay off his tab, or face losing his assets.
According to new court docs, Marbury has now paid the full outstanding debt of $341,153 and all's square once and for all.
To review: Marbury bought $900k worth of silence over an affair everyone now knows about.
Stephon Marbury is married to "Basketball Wives" star Tasha Marbury. Back on September 14, 2002, Tasha married Marbury in New York City. They have two children together. Marbury also has a daughter from a previous relationship.

3 Things You Should Know About Your Introverted Child
Kids come in all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Parents may not always understand their children's likes and dislikes, but this doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong with them. One of the most common examples are introverted children, who are often misunderstood as shy, quiet, or even socially inept. Most of the time, however, the incorrect assumption of the parent can produce adverse effects on the child's health and development. They may end up believing that they are strange because of something they have no control over.
So, if you're having trouble understanding your little boy or girl, here's a few things you need to know about introverted kids that could enlighten you:
Introverted Kids Need Time Alone
It's important that introverted kids are given time alone every day to soak up and review information, activities, emotions, and other things they have experienced that day. This isn't a whim or a once-in-a-while thing; it's a need, and depriving them of a few hours to unwind and recharge could be harmful to their psyche – and their health. Allow them to sit in their bedroom or playpen and immerse themselves in a book while you cook dinner. The important thing is not to pressure them into chatting or doing something else when they're still trying to process the day's events.
Encourage Creativity
While they may not be big on group activities such as basketball, introverted children excel at things they can do alone, and that allows them to get creative. Activities such as sketching, reading, painting, bike rides, swimming, and hiking are perfect for introverted children. Sometimes, all you need to do is give them a skipping rope or a box of crayons, and they'll have a more productive, enjoyable day than bringing them to the local football field and forcing them to join a team.
Gain Their Trust
Often times, the reluctance to make small talk is taken by parents as shyness, but this isn't the case for introverts. Before they can talk and open up to you, they need to know they can trust you to listen, understand, and not judge them on what they say. If they feel like you're not really listening or you are not on the same wavelength, they will usually clam up and refuse to speak to you until you regain their trust.
One common mistake parents make is revealing private information about their children to other people in front of them. While you may not think much about telling your sister that your little boy still wets the bed at eight years old, he will see it as a betrayal of his trust. Introverted children hate being embarrassed in public and being placed under the spotlight. Always respect their privacy and never belittle them in the presence of other people. Instead, click here for other ways you can help your child and provide for his or her needs without betraying his or her trust.
Introverted children are special in many ways and require a different kind of hand-holding as compared to other kids. Read books that can help you understand them better and care for them in the best way possible.

Big Story
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'The GCB' started by BOP_G_A_Pster, Jun 12, 2012.
... neither in that case. =\ (waffles would probably be too sweet for me, and I like cereal but have a hard time with milk, and special k needs milk!)
I'd go with a scrambled egg with red and green pepper and onions sautee'd in, with crumbles of either turkey sausage or turkey bacon, and some sharp cheddar cheese melted in, all folded over into a mini-omlette. And maybe half a slice of crunchy toast, with a little bit of butter and grape jelly on it.
..... om nom nom nom nom. Now I want that. Dammit.
Haha, I get lactose free milk, and that's the only way I can handle it!
Eggs would be good, but I'm saving those for pasta carbonara tonight.
Left over waffles > cereal
yeah but i had waffles for days in a row now, went with cereal.
Ah. You failed to mention that mitigating factor. I still don't like cereal that much so I would have gone with waffles, anyway. I ate leftover pizza.
I... lost my favourite ring.
It was always a little bit too big for me, but... I guess it got loose enough that it fell off at some point either last night or this morning, as it's no longer on my finger. This makes me really sad. I loved that ring.
Happy Birthday President Lincington! The drive into the office this morning took half the time it normally does. Thanks!
Never had a proper home-made waffle...
But, speaking of breakfast, I just had French toast with home-made chutney, gruyere, and bacon.
Waffles need chicken.
And I love the hell out of special k with berries.
French Toast with Ketchup. and
having to uninstall and reinstall steam. dammit.
started getting the "fatal error: failed to load platform modules" error, and the 2 fixes steam suggested didn't work. *grumpy*
^ Steam.
Plants Vs Zombies, dude.
That is some serious stuff, there. You can't mess with a woman's PvZ.
Damn right. Or my Portal. Or Civ. Or SimCity. OR MY PEGGLE.
Edit: that said, complete reinstall and still nada. I am bummed.
What do you use sng? GFW?
Plants vs Zombies is one of my favorite games of the past year. No joke. The Xbox version has co-op play too. It's great!
Got it working. Took 3 reinstalls, a CCleaner run, and a regedit delete of all Steam files before the final reinstall. But it worked, dammit!
I buy and install software the old fashioned way ...
False ... but you'd have to break a lot of laws and ethics to "get ahead".
You just want your cheat garden back.
Upward mobility is a statistical oddity.
Well everything has a limit, doesn't it
The only good way to have a K/D competition is through Halo or COD. The only thing that gets hurt there would be your pride -- of playing some mediocre videogames
But seriously - - http://boston.cbslocal.com/2013/02/...l-shooter-motivated-by-another-mass-murderer/
Sources tell CBS News that Adam Lanza, who shot and killed 26 people at a school in Connecticut, was motivated by another mass murderer. Two law enforcement officials say Lanza saw himself as being in direct competition with Anders Breivik, the Norwegian man who killed 77 people in July 2011. The sources say that Lanza wanted to top Breivik's death toll, and the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut was the "easiest target."
Today is Shepard's 2nd birthday!
He'll be a Commander in no time!
Cute kid, not so hot on the name though.
I've never been into profession based names like Cooper, Farmer, Hunter, etc
It was this picture that made me think shepard has that smile permanently.
He will be 35 and at someones funeral with that smile.
The bear on his shirt totally wants that donut/pastry.
Your kid is exactly one year younger than my kid. Grats. I'm tired. And my kid was spoiled rotten. A full Thomas railway set from me and Mrs. Z and a Lego Duplo 147 piece zoo set from my parents. She got a few princess dress sets and a tiara, but those were not as cool, apparently. Read: my daughter's a tomboy.
And now she doesn't wanna sleep until the all the animals and trains are happy... I'll give her a few more minutes and then put her in bed.
You have to admire the brilliance that goes into it sometimes though. Look at Threm(?). One of his kids is named Parker - he's raising his own valet!
My little dude, Zachary, is 2 years 4 months old now
I honestly don't know what happened
God damn, Greg, Shepard is 2 already?
I'm glad to see he grew out of his frog-pillow eyes. That was kind of scary.
And awesome.
Scrambled eggs with sharp cheddar and fresh ground black pepper.
He's not named after a profession, he's named after a video game character.
Besides, the profession is "shepherd".
Granddad update: His heart is recovering well, but he's now having kidney problems, something to do with the contrast dye used used during the procedure, as well as some pretty bad nausea issues.
Aunt says they are going to try a few things, but she's not sure just how much they can do. They will re-test tomorrow to see which way his kidneys are going.
Wishing him and your family the best, Syri.
Your son looks extra high.
Blah. Was going to call my grandddad, but have been told he's no longer feeling well enough to even take calls.
High on toddler cold medicine!
Found this under user reviews for Aliens: Colonial Marines for the PS3 on Metacritic:
ADDED: Apparently, it's some type of Russian cult, and they've struck before:
It's when I have to use this.

I have been super busy this last week getting together our Christmas Cards, we want to try to get them out early, because there is time sensitive information in them. We are sending them all over. I've taken note of all the places we are sending them and they are going all over. So far the list includes: AR, AZ, CA, ID, MN, NV,OR, UT, VA, WA, Brazil, and Italy! We are just gathering together some final addresses to get the last of the Christmas Cards out.
I also celebrated my 23 Birthday on Monday so we had a little get together with our friends. We went out to eat at my new favorite Pizza Place, Proto's. It serves up authentic Italian pizza, and Mmm is it delicious! Then we had everyone come back to our apartment for yellow cake with chocolate frosting, my favorite, and we played with our new Kinect for Xbox 360, that we got for Christmas (okay we opened it early, but we both knew what we were getting so we rationalized that it was okay that we open it.)
Earlier in the day one of my friends took me out for Ice Cream and when I came home my dear sweet hubby had these things for me this is them after I had unwrapped them. He is so sweet. I love the calla's, they are similar to the ones that I had in my wedding bouquet. He got me the notebooks because I am always sketching, making lists, and patterns and the ones we had were almost gone. Later he also gave me some Lindt milk chocolates. Delicious! It was a good day.
I want to also update my wonderful readers that SnickerPlum is going to be under construction for the next couple of days and at the end of the construction there will be a big exciting announcement! So Please Excuse the Dust. Thank you all so much for your support!

Hello good people of the blogosphere! Just wanted to share a few interesting things that I came across today.
- Very funny blog if you like satire – Stuff Christians Like.
- Newspring's commercial for their latest series is simply hilarious. Protectile Dysfunction. Also, Tony is now warning not to call the toll-free number.
- Seth Godin had a great post about "Getting vs Taking". Kind of a "seize the day" thing.
- Entertainment Weekly grades the first 8 episodes of Lost, Season 4.
- The cool folks over at Deadly Viper are having a contest. Send them your best character assassin quote and win their book and DVD!
- For Easter Sunday, Ed (media pastor at GracePoint) took footage from Linkin' Park's video for What I've Done and spliced it with footage from The Passion. The video played on the big screen while the band played the song. Ed then spliced in a little of the live video footage of Edge of Grace and posted it over on Youtube. Check it out. (Unfortunately, we didn't get any good audio of the live performance so you'll have to listen to Linkin' Park…)

Youth Group News - May 2018
The days are long (some are longer than others!), and the years are short! I am finding myself in the trenches of raising a teenager and another one coming in HOT!!! I know I am not the only one who is where I am right now, and I know that many of you have been where I am and survived! I thought the hardest days were raising infants and toddlers…I was wrong! I have apologized to my parents for the torment I may have caused them (although I am pretty sure I was an angel 😉… most of the time). While I feel that parenting is hard…being a teenager is hard too! I am not saying one is harder than the other, just acknowledging that they are both equally difficult phases to journey through.
