From Keith Stanton, 69A
1 – First Important Lesson – Cleaning Lady.
During my second month of college, our professor
Gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student
And had breezed through the questions until I read
The last one:
"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"
2. – Second Important Lesson – Pickup in the Rain
One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American
Woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway
Trying to endure a lashing rain storm.. Her car had
Broken down and she desperately needed a ride.
Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car.
A young white man stopped to help her, generally
Unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960's. The man
Took her to safety, helped her get assistance and
Put her into a taxicab.
She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his
Address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a
Knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a
Giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A
Special note was attached.
It read:
"Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway
The other night. The rain drenched not only my
Clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along.
Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying
Husband's' bedside just before he passed away… God
Bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving
Mrs. Nat King Cole.
3 – Third Important Lesson – Always remember those
Who serve.
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less,
A 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and
Sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in
Front of him.
"How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked.
"Fifty cents," replied the waitress.
The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and
Studied the coins in it.
"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired.
By now more people were waiting for a table and the
Waitress was growing impatient..
"Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied.
The little boy again counted his coins.
"I'll have the plain ice cream," he said.
The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on
The table and walked away The boy finished the ice
Cream, paid the cashier and left.. When the waitress
Came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the
Table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish,
Were two nickels and five pennies..
You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had
To have enough left to leave her a tip.
4 – Fourth Important Lesson.. – The obstacle in Our Path.
In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a
Roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if
Anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the
King's' wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by
And simply walked around it.. Many loudly blamed the
King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did
Anything about getting the stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of
Vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the
peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the
stone to the side of the road. After much pushing
and straining, he finally succeeded. After the
peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed
a purse lying in the road where the boulder had
been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note
from the King indicating that the gold was for the
person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The
peasant learned what many of us never understand!
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve
our condition.
5 – Fifth Important Lesson – Giving When it Counts…
Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a
hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who
was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only
chance of recovery appeared to be a blood
transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had
miraculously survived the same disease and had
developed the antibodies needed to combat the
illness. The doctor explained the situation to her
little brother, and asked the little boy if he would
be willing to give his blood to his sister.
I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a
Now you have choices.
1 Delete this email, or
2. Forward it other people.
I hope that you will choose No. 2 and remember.
Most importantly….Live with no regrets, Treat people the way you want to be treated, Work like you don't need the money, Love like you've never been hurt, and Dance like you do when nobody's watching.
NOW more than ever – Please… Pass It On…
You never know how or when you'll be paid!

I've read a lot of blog entries and other articles and postings in the last year about "Facebook reality." Facebook reality differs from actual reality in that you completely control the message, right? Most parents' Facebook reality is that their children are adorable, their house is always clean, they play lots of family-time games with their children, dinner is always healthy, the TV is extremely limited. You get the picture. Their actual reality may or may not bear any resemblance to the image projected on social media. Moms might be the worst perpetrators of this revisionist posting trend. I know I'm guilty of it sometimes. I don't mind telling you and all my Facebook friends, that my bathrooms get dirty, my children watch too much TV, and often their dinner is peanut butter and honey with potato chips or hot dogs and pretzels. But I post those perfectly adorable pictures of the kids doing something perfectly adorable, cooperating sweetly, sleeping peacefully, creating artfully, without telling you that I was just screaming and tearing at my hair moments before. Some of us share more of the actual reality than others, but few of us put it all out there.
And, frankly, none of this is shocking or abnormal or unhealthy in anyway, as far as I'm concerned. I've written before about how different people approach the social media thing differently. Here, for instance, I showed an adorable picture but maybe shared a bit too much. Over or under sharing might be part of the projected Facebook reality, but if you meet me at a cocktail party you're not going to get the actual reality of my life, either.
To me, that's what social media, especially Facebook, is all about. It's like one big social event that never quite ends. Sometimes it's a football game, sometimes it's a cocktail party, sometimes it's a parenting support group, sometimes it's a worship service. It's whatever you make it, determined by what you let others see, which friends you accept, and which you move to "restricted" or some other list. Some people worry about trying to "keep up" with all the things their friends post, but it's my belief that they should just let that go. You can't know what was said at the party before you showed up. You might get a recap from a friend, but thanks to Facebook's complicated "most recent" algorithm, you won't know everything. And really, that's OKAY!
That all brings me to my rant. Unfriending. Maybe we don't see this act of aggression the same way. Maybe I'm missing something I should know, and if I am, please enlighten me. Sure, it's totally your right to unfriend whoever the hell you feel like unfriending. It's your page, your life, your business. But I see it kind of like walking away from a person you don't like every time they walk up to the group you're talking with at a party. Sure, you can do it, but you look like an jerk. At a party I'm much more likely to stop interacting in the conversation as animatedly, and then excuse myself politely when the opportunity arises. The Facebook equivalent is to move the person to my "restricted profile" list, or maybe just "acquaintances." I see less of them, and they only see what I want them to see of me. I've excused myself from the conversation without looking like an ass. Life and Facebook can already be messy. Why make it messier by pointing out to anyone that you just don't like them. What good comes of it? Do they suddenly change their behavior because they find out they've offended you? Not likely, right? I mean, most likely it will cause bad feelings for the other person whether they express them or not. If you're just trying to cause bad feelings, well, fine. Unfriend me, too, while you're at it. I'll get over it but I don't need friends who want to live like that.
Don't give me a privacy rant, either. Your stuff is out there. If you don't want it out there, don't put it out there. If you don't want anyone but your best friends who you trust implicitly to see it, invite them over for a slideshow, or just email it. But know that once you email it, it's out there, too. You are, and have always been, completely in charge of what information you want to post. If someone else posts things about you, that's a whole different problem, and not one I'm speaking to at the moment.
It's 2014, folks. If you don't have a Facebook account, that's your right, but to those of us at the party, it's as if you are hiding under a table. If you have an account, linked to an email you read, but you don't use it, well, that's like coming to the party and standing in the corner. Some of my best friends are corner standers, and that's cool, but hiding under the table, if you're under the age of 50 is a bit on the anti-social side. Of course then there are the cases like my brother, who has a Facebook account, but not under his real name, so he's hiding under the table but peeking out from under the tablecloth. That's a whole different ball of issues, but since I don't want him dissecting mine on the internet, I guess I'll leave him be, even if I do slip him a cookie once in a while. (And by that, I mean that I pass along your greetings, those of you who know him and tell me to say "hi" for you.)
So that's my rant for today. I know a lot of people don't see it that way, but I won't kick you off my friend list for it.

Winter Storm 'Destiny'
Woo Hoo, SNOW Day!
UPDATE: 11:50am
The other night was the last lunar eclipse for another two years, and I heard it would be a lot longer before we have another total eclipse. The date was on my calendar from the first mention. When the night came around, though, I was all snuggly in my bed, half asleep. Hubby was enthusiastically planning on going out in the frigid cold to watch. I was willing to let him.
Now, I was pretty tired that night, so I must admit I was a little grouchy when Hubby got into bed and started whispering in my ear: Sweetie, you really want to see this, you should come out with me... You'll regret it tomorrow if you don't get up.... You could get a picture for your blog.... It's not really cold out there, it's like a summer night... (this last outrageous lie was what got me out of bed.. ;)
ME, tongue planted firmly in cheek: Oh, Sweatheart, if you really loved me, you'd put my camera on the tripod and take the pic for me...
ME, tongue planted firmly in cheek: Oh, Sweatheart, if you really loved me, you'd put my camera on the tripod and take the pic for me...
So, I was up the other night to get pics of the eclipse, and I, for the first time, put the 70-300mm zoom lens on my Nikon. I'm afraid I was half asleep, and didn't look at the lens before I went out in the pitch dark and cold. I got the camera on the tripod, but didn't figure out in the dark how to do the zoom.
Today I finally had the time to mess with it, and I have to say I have a new toy to play with now. Oooo the closeups! Nikon has some pretty good anti shake mechanism going on, the pics were rock steady.
Happy Winter, Folks!

Above is a view from Thorn's Lair, looking at my backyard.
It snowed last night, which put a damper on the plans to ride my bike. So, it's almost two in the afternoon, and I'm still in my pajamas. Though I may be sipping coffee, listening to Thelonious monk and Live-Journaling at this moment, I haven't been completely lazy today. The wife and I did spend a the better part of this morning cleaning house for the last time until our baby is delivered.
Since the house is now ready, I've escaped to Thorn's to jot a few things down while the wife is resting. Tomorrow we will travel to town for a doctor's appointment followed by a pre-op at the hospital and delivery is scheduled for Wednesday morning.
I have a number of goals to accomplish while off work for the next month to month and a half:
-Bond with the baby.
-Help Marie in her recovery from Cesarean Section
-Put in gravel driveway
-Fix sprinklers
-Prepare for and plant Marie's garden
-Post to Livejournal every day
-Ride Mountain bike every day (weather permitting)
-Plant fruit tree in front yard
-Finish reading Kerouac's Big Sur and revisit Dharma Bums.
-Drink copious amounts of coffee
I guess I ought to get moving. I still need to pack my bedroll for the couple of nights we'll be in the hospital. I also want to check my camera's batteries and pack the laptop. It might be time to change my attire for the day...

Study reveals fewer agricultural businesses
A biennial study of agricultural land uses and activities in Australia shows a slight contraction in the number of agricultural businesses in Western Australia and a sharper drop in land used for agriculture.
Figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics show that in the past two years, the number of agricultural businesses in the state fell by 33.
The drop represents a fall of a quarter of 1 per cent.
However, the area of agricultural holdings has fallen by 6.3 per cent to 88.4 million hectares.
Of that land, 2.7 per cent was set aside for conservation purposes, up from 1.7 per cent at the time of the last survey.

Mother's Day 1998-
Mike had been working with my stepdad laying brick for a couple of days. It was going to pay more plus it was a DAY JOB, which was really nice. It was the first day job since we'd been together. Now that we had a baby, I was really not liking the night shift so much. Like not at all.
The day before Mike came home early from work because of really bad heartburn. He even had me drive home (his mom's house which is where we were living) from my folks' place. I had just gotten my permit and he had JUST started teaching me to drive, so I can't say I was thrilled with the idea of suddenly having to drive my hubby and 5mo old home.
Mike moaned and groaned and hung out watching T.V. and popping Rolaids all night. His mother and I both asked him a few times if he wanted/needed to go to the ER, but he said no.
Sunday morning, Mother's Day, I woke up and took the home pregnancy test I'd bought the day before. I had a sneaky suspicion we were soon to become a family of 4.
I was right. =) Happy Mother's Day!!
It was so cool! My first-ever Mother's Day as a mom and I found out I was going to be a mom…again! =) MAN! Is this going to make a great story someday, I thought.
Oh sure, but I had no idea just how crazy of a story. It gets so much better. (Can you hear the sarcasm dripping off that last sentence? Drip, drip, drip…)
I took the test in to show Mike and he didn't say much. Not much at all, really. I think he mumbled "Mmmhmm, thought so" or something like that. I got the baby up, fed her, dressed her, so forth and so on, and then we were supposed to take his mother out for lunch after church.
When she got home, though, Mike was still wincing and trying to burp. (Fascinating, I know…) He totally did not feel like going out to eat and I felt like such a yietz because "what would his mom say??" I was freakin' out that they would want me and baby to go eat with Mother and leave Mike home. Yikes I so did not want to do that. I loved Mother, great woman, absolutely! However, she was 80+ years, I was 19 and we had NOTHING in common. She intimidated me like you wouldn't believe. I was always so scared I'd say or do something stupid. And to be sure I always did.
Thankfully, Mike did NOT suggest I "go on to lunch".
Not so thankfully, he suggested something else. That is… he wanted me to drive him to the ER. UGG and YIKES at the same time.
So we loaded baby up, and off we went. The ER is only like 2min from the house, so it really was not long at all before we were in and he was whisked away after uttering those 2 magical words: "chest pain".
I have no idea how much time passed after that, but easily an hour, before I heard or knew ANYTHING. Even then it was just that they were running tests.
I'd been trying to call my mom off and on for a couple of hours, and I'd gotten no answer. I was desperate. No one would talk to me and I had no idea how to get in where Mike was so HE could make them. I shook all the way, but I walked out of the ER, loaded Meagan up in the car and then drove to my mom's. Illegally. Because I did not have a license, I had only a learner's permit.
They weren't home, so I climbed in the window, changed the baby, and borrowed their phone. I called the Dairy Queen. They'd left awhile back. I called the movie rental store. They'd just left. I called a couple of other places. They hadn't seen them. FINALLY they pulled in and I basically fell apart. I went crying to my Mommy. I told her Mike was at the hospital, they said he had a heart attack and said something about waiting to transfer him, but to where? and how could they know, and besides I don't know anything else because the doctor will NOT talk to me and I can't get back to where he is. What do I do??
She drove us back up to the hospital, where we found my MIL in the waiting room. She had come in after she'd eaten to see what was what. I had to tell her I had no idea. About that time a dr came out, recognized my MIL and started talking to her. They wandered off. I was really not liking the way this was turning out. Especially since I had NO CLUE what was going on.
This repeated at least one more time, and then MIL and the dr had a confab from which she returned and said they were talking about flying him out.
I was really getting fed up with this go-around the WIFE thing, so I walked up to the dr and asked him what was going on. He turned, told MIL bye and left.
A nurse told me I could come in and see him (FINALLY! First time all day, we'd only been there for HOURS!), so I did. MIL left to go home, and baby Meagan and I went in to see Mike in the little curtained off area they had him in. The dr was talking to him, so I just stood by quietly for a minute. When he paused, I asked the dr again what was going on, and he STILL hemmed and hawed and would not say anything to me. I told him that Mike was my husband, and I wanted to know what was going on. He shook his head and told me he couldn't tell me.
Mike told him then, "She really IS my wife, and that's our daughter, Meagan." ugg!
I guess Mr. FamilyDoctorDude didn't get an engraved invitation to the (non-existent) wedding and so refused to believe. Or it could just be that it was a little hard to believe this almost 50 year old being seen for a big-bad heart attack was married to a kid that looked maybe 16 and was holding a baby. =)
I was more than indignant at the time, though. Oh was I steamed. It was bad enough being a KID (a 19yo one, but still a kid) and scared stiff because my husband and father of my kidS(!!) and my provider was having a gas attack and people were trying to make it bigger than it was and just generally FREAK the kid out on her first Mother's Day… but to then have the dr flat-out REFUSE to accept that you are his wife and therefore entitled to be told what in the tarnation is going on!! And I drove him in!
I wasn't entirely STOOPID though. I knew I had some rights as his wife, and I knew that HE had rights as a patient. I also knew my husband trusted my judgement with medical stuff in general. So I fired the dr. Oh yes I did. I fired him and told him I wanted MY doctor called in. I told the guy 3 times I wanted my doc called in and 3 times he ignored me. Finally I spelled it out for him, "You Are Fired! Now call Dr. C in." He looked at Mike and Mike nodded, so Dr. C came in.
When my doc got there, I was hoping (because he was a laid-back kinda guy) he would tell me how overblown everyone was making this gas attack and send us on our way. (Can we say DENIAL?!) Instead, the rascal confirmed that Mike had had a heart attack. A big enough one that they wanted to CAREFLIGHT him to a big hospital in Dallas.
Yee-IKES!! Do what?!?!
I was 19, pregnant, and trying to keep a 5mo occupied in the ER. Now they're telling me my husband had had a massive heart attack and needed to ride in a helicopter (and how, pray tell are we going to afford THAT) to go to Dallas?
We wound up following the helicopter out a few hours later. Mom took Meagan and I to her place to pick up my little brothers (Bro4 and Bro5) and then to my place to load up clothes and baby paraphernalia and then drove us to my grandmother's. My grandmother generously let us stay with her while Mike was in the hospital. He had one angioplasty and a stent put in and stayed about a week. He had to go back in 6wks to get a second angioplasty and stent put in. All his arteries were between 97 and 100 (the one that caused the attack) percent blocked. So basically I had married a heart attack time bomb.
I didn't get flowers or a card or anything, obviously. LOL
That was Mother's Day Then, 1998.
Mother's Day, 2008 –
One quick preface, here. In the years between '98 and now, it has developed into some sort of cruel joke that EVERY Mother's Day Mike ends up going out to lunch with a friend of his (generally in payment for mowing the lawn) and sorta, kinda forgets about it being, in fact MOTHER'S Day. Oh I *might* get a card or a potted daisy that afternoon, but basically it is a day to take your buddy out to lunch… apparently.
So why should I be surprised at the way this Mother's Day turned out? =) I have to laugh, it's just too funny not to!
Several days ago, Mike got a phone call from a long-lost (ok, newly discovered…not LOST) relative wanting to meet to share genealogical information. WHY, oh WHY is this such a huge thing for Mike?? Drives me nuts! I digress. So he makes a 'date' sotospeak. Next Sunday at 2pm, he'll meet this distant relative that he's never heard of before in a town not far from us at his hands-down favorite restaurant… Cracker Barrel.
Let me just state for the record, I do not like Cracker Barrel's menu options. Sorry, I just don't. I don't care how enamored Mike is with their salt-cured ham and friend eggs (hmmm, perhaps that helps explain that massive heart attack!) *I* am not that partial to Cracker Barrel's food. It's ok, but I will NOT be seen parked outside their brand-new restaurant at 3am waiting to be their first customer. (Oh yes he did!) Their store, though, I LUH-OVE!!! =) I could easily spend 4 fortunes in there. No problem.
So Mike tells me about his scheduled meeting, and I tell HIM… haha No, I just asked him if he was aware what next Sunday was, and when he answered in the negative, I told him it was Mother's Day, otherwise known as take Pepe to lunch day. (Pepe is what the kids call Mike's friend.) So then Mike tells me that the kids and I are welcome to come if we want, but we don't have to.
Ummmm. Oooook. How sweet of him to offer, huh? LOL Of COURSE the kids wanted to go, they want to go ANYWHERE. Me? Well it's Cracker Barrel. It's loud, it's expensive, but it does have a cool store (that I can't afford to shop in, but still…).
So Saturday rolls around and the kids tell me that Daddy has told them he'll be going to church with us in the morning.
Wait. A. Minute.
Back. It. Up.
Daddy said WHAT?!?!
Daddy said he'd be going to church with us in the morning so we could just go straight to Cracker Barrel from there.
Umm. Ok. Dare I hope? I mean it IS scheduled to be Friends Day at church. I WAS hoping he would come, ok, I was PRAYING he would come, but I had not said anything about it. At all. Come to think of it, I don't think the kids did either.
Kids? Did you ask Daddy to come to church? No?? Oooook…
I woke up this morning, got Meagan up and dressed (she likes to ride the church bus, so she leaves before Matthew and I), and made coffee.
I heard Mike's alarm go off.
Ummm, maybe it's for real?
I went and tried to wake Mike up. Told him his alarm was going off. He shut it off, and I went about getting dressed. I came out and told the kids I didn't think he was coming as he'd just reset his alarm for 10am. We were supposed to BE there at 10am…
Matthew went into our room and came back and told us that Daddy said he would meet us later, and for us to sit in back.
Dare I hope? Did he REALLY mean it, then?
We went on to church. I was going to call to make sure he was up, but I'm glad my phone was deader than a doornail. Here's why…
While I thought about calling to make sure he was up, I ALSO thought about how I had not said one single word to him about coming to church, and apparently the kids had not either. I had, however prayed, and so therefore I needed to just LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE and let the Lord handle this. That is what I thought, and yet I still dialed the house. I'm glad the phone shut off before he heard it, because now I can say that…
Mike came to church with us without me asking him or even saying anything to him about it…at all. I didn't remind him, I didn't call him. I did nothing except TOTALLY enjoy the fact that he slipped in beside me and put his arm on the back of the pew behind me.
That was such a TOTALLY cool Mother's Day present. =)
I got another really cool present, too. Before church, Meagan handed me this:
It is a box made of popsicle sticks and tape, complete with a hinged lid and a cheese cracker box bottom. The note says:
To Mom, From M+M.
Here is a box you only put light stuff in. "Happy Mother's Day." We love you and thank you for everything! Love! Matthew R. C. + Meagan R. C.
That was Mother's Day Now, 2008.
We've come a long way, baby! =) I'm lovin' it! SUCH a better story, this year. I think so, anyway. ;-)


text: Matthews: 'Negativity spouts negativity' 10/17/11 08:00 PMUpdated 09/06/13 07:02 AM By Chris Matthews It's hard to go positive when your movement is based on a negative.Isn't that the problem with the tea party? All their passion and energy, their very roots, are built on a "not" - "not" liking Obama, "not" liking taxes, even on the wealthy, "not" liking the government, "not" liking government period.This is the Tea Party's problem - because it's the very "reality" of this movement. It's not "for" anything. So why would it be "for" a candidate? It doesn't trust politicians, so why would it trust anyone who is a "politician?"And this is why we see the utter failure of the Tea Party set to settle on a presidential candidate to remove Mitt Romney from his frontrunner's status. Oh, they have candidates, all right; they have one every month! They loved Trump - for a week or two; loved Bachman, but that was a summer romance then they swooned for Perry before he swooned over in debates. Now they like Herman Cain. But with him they have a problem. It's not "him" exactly; it's the fact that he's the last one standing. How can they embrace a guy they might get stuck with?This is serious. We've got a loud political movement that's proving itself incapable of speaking a clear message on the most basic duty of a political movement - to locate, advocate for and elect someone to run the government.And the reason is that they, the Tea Party crowd, really don't like leaders. They don't trust the person who stands in front of the room and says, "Make me your leader." No. They much prefer the loud guy in the back row waving his hand angrily, the guy who doesn't like what's going on - even in this room where nobody likes what's going on - anytime, anywhere.And because that guy in the back row, the one always ready to jump up and yell down something someone just said, is the one really calling the shots in the tea party - it's really hard to find someone to stand up front of the room and try and lead.Negativity spouts negativity. And that's why the last man standing in the tea party world, Herman Cain, will not be the last man standing. And why Romney - a candidate who would never attend a tea party meeting in his life - will. Let Me Start... Let Me Start... More Like This Best of MSNBC

What a "blast" we had competing in Houston, Texas for our 10th international appearance! Pride of Kentucky was honored to represent our region and excited to hear our name announced as the 2012 International Sixth Place Medalist Chorus! Thanks so much to all who cheered, supported and congratulated us, because we really appreciate you. What a great experience!!
Pride of Kentucky Chorus has been competing at the International level since 1989. As a result of its first two regional-level wins, the chorus earned the right to represent East Central Region #4 along with 25-30 other regional champions at the International Chorus competitions, coming in 17th in its first contest in 1989, in Miami Beach, and 11th in its second effort in 1992, in Baltimore, MD.
In 1998, second-place regional medalist Pride of Kentucky became the first chorus in the history of Sweet Adelines International to compete as an alternate at the international chorus competition, when the eligible champion chorus withdrew. With nine weeks to prepare songs and raise money to pay for the trip, Pride of Kentucky was proud to finish 15th of 27 choruses.
After winning the 1998 regional championship, the chorus competed in the 1999 international chorus competition in Atlanta, GA, finishing 12th, one of only five choruses ever to compete in back-to-back years.
After winning the 2000 regional championship, Pride of Kentucky again represented East Central Region #4 in the 2001 International Chorus Contest in Portland, OR, where the chorus finished 11th (one point from a 10th place medal) and was honored to perform its show package as mic-testers for the finalist session.
After Pride of Kentucky's regional championship in April 2002, we represented our region at the International Chorus Contest in Phoenix in 2003, where we placed 13th.
The chorus won the 2004 regional championship and represented East Central Region #4 in the 2005 International Chorus Contest in Detroit, Michigan. The chorus was incredibly excited to be selected as one of the top 10 finalists, placing 9th.
Competing in Calgary, Alberta, Canada was an incredible experience in the fall of 2007. We were so proud to cross the border with our shiny new passports and compete in such a beautiful city that made it truly an international experience for us. The chorus was honored to be announced as mic-testers, placing 11th, and singing for everyone on Chorus Finals Day.
If there's a perfect place to sing barbershop, it must be Music City, USA. As the 2008 Regional Champion, Pride of Kentucky was honored to represent our region at the International competition in Nashville, Tennessee in October 2009. Taking the stage for our 9th international appearance, we were thrilled to hear our name announced as the 2010 International Third Place Medalist Chorus!
Of course, as noted above, our 2011 6th place finish in Houston was a wonderful experience. Pride of Kentucky had a great time together and a wonderful week. We continue to raise the bar for ourselves and look forward to the next challenge.

This assignment was a very fun challenge. I'm not the best at doing value so I'm glad we are spending several days to focus on it. I'm also not the best at using charcoal. I prefer graphite pencils. Honestly, this is the best I've ever drawn with charcoal. I really impressed myself and I feel like I'm finally understanding charcoal as the material. In the homework I used both the additive and subtractive method. I thing the used of both gives the drawing a nice texture. A lot of decisions had to be made before I started the drawing. I needed to find the right object, the right material to wrap the object, the right binding material, and whether or not the object will be shown. During the critique everyone said my drawing looked "Victorian" and the fabric actually looked soft.
I loved the sketchbook assignment this week. I had so much fun with it! The drawing of the rain boot is done with conte and an eyeliner pencil. The teddy bear is drawn with a whisker from my cat(that I found on the floor. I didn't pull it out of her face) and the medium is a mix of ink and coffee. The Starbucks cup is drawn with bread crust and the medium is blush powder, eyeshadow powder, coverup powder, and charcoal dust. The beanbag chair is drawn with a q-tip and the medium is a mix of ink and shaving cream. I also did a little cross hatching with a toothpick and ink on top. The book is done with my left hand and a pencil but I had only 2 minutes to draw it. This was a neat exercise to get your brain thinking differently and your arm moving in a new way.


text: A few weeks ago I watched this awesome documentary called Jiro Dreams of Sushi. It was so inspiring how this 85 year old man, Jiro Ono, works every day making amazing sushi. All he serves is sushi in his 10 seat restaurant in a Tokyo subway station. He says in the movie that he really does dream of making sushi at night. I think this is what keeps him living, knowing he has such a love for something that he has perfected. If you like something to inspire you I highly recommend watching this documentary. When you are done watching you will feel the need to be as dedicated as he is to whatever your craft may be.

Directors banned for lax book keeping
Two directors of an Inverness-shire civil engineering contractor have been disqualified from running or controlling any further companies for failing to keep their accounts in order.
Inverness Sherriff Court handed an eight-year disqualification to 37-year-old Donald Cameron. His fellow director Steven Cameron, 36, signed an undertaking agreeing not to run or control a company for seven years.
The men were joint directors of Highland Groundworks Ltd, which was placed in liquidation on 28th April 2015 with liabilities of £41,786.
Following the liquidator's appointment, it was discovered that from September 2012 to the end of 2014 the company books were inadequate. Records were unable to verify:
- the position with regards to assets owned by the company at the date of liquidation, especially with regards to fixed assets with a net book value of £102,194 and debtors in the sum of £64,098
- expenditure from the company bank account totalling £493,351
- whether receipts into the company bank account between September 2012 and December 2014 totalling £404,639 were a true representation of total sales.
The investigation also found that VAT payments were missing. From at least 7th August 2013 the company traded to the detriment of HM Revenue & Customs, in that VAT returns were submitted up to the quarter ended 30 June 2013 disclosing an outstanding liability, including surcharges, of £9,955 which remained outstanding at liquidation. The Company failed to submit VAT returns for the quarters 30 September 2013 to 31 December 2014 resulting in an estimated liability, including surcharges, totalling £28,844 which remained outstanding at liquidation.
Robert Clarke, head of company investigation at the Insolvency Service, said: "Directors have a duty to ensure that their companies maintain proper accounting records, and, following insolvency, deliver them to the office-holder in the interests of fairness and transparency. Without a full account of transactions it is impossible to determine whether a director has discharged his duties properly, or is using a lack of documentation as a cloak for impropriety.
"Both Steven and Donald Cameron have paid the price for failing to do that, as they cannot now carry on in business other than at their own risk.
"The public can be assured that where there have been abuses of public finance provisions which result in losses of this type, the Insolvency Service will investigate the conduct of the parties involved and take action to remove the privilege of limited liability trading for a lengthy period."

Exercise: Saturday – 7.5km Power Walk (7's Blue)
Sunday – Loads of walking
It seems so long ago already! Grab a cuppa and put your feet up as this is going to be a long post.
Michelle and I had a wonderful time in Qld. It was about 4.30pm when we landed at Coolangatta and it was a beautiful sunny afternoon. So different from the weather in Melbourne that we'd left behind, that's for sure!! The view from the plane when we got our first view of the coast was just amazing.
We managed to get our bags without too much effort, then picked up the keys to the hire car (a little Getz) and made our way out onto the highway – and joined the peak hour traffic heading up the coast 😦 I'm sure it never used to be THAT busy!
Having lived on the Gold Coast for nearly 4 years from 1989 to 1992, I was pretty confident that I knew how to get to the Caravan Park that we were staying at. And it didn't take us long to chuck all our gear inside the cabin then head off to find food and alcohol 🙂 We settled back in comfortably for the evening to watch Big Brother.
Saturday dawned a bit overcast, but there were glimpses of blue sky amongst the cloud. I was having a few problems actually moving my limbs as they had gone into lockdown due to the Pump class that I'd done the day before.
We decided to get out fairly early and go for a power walk to help the poor muscles and also to keep Michelle's legs ticking over. It was so nice to walk next to the beach, enjoying the view and trying to find the place where we were going to meet Schtumpy and Tiger Boy for lunch after the Marathon. Loved the Pelicans, who were so close to the edge of the water.
Once back we had a bit of down time while we read the paper and had brekky. We then showered, dressed and headed over to Harbour Town, which was literally next door to the Caravan Park 😀 We had only entered one shop when we got a call from Schtumpy to say that he was down at the Marathon Expo, so we turned around and headed back to the car to make our way down there.
Met up with Schtumpy and also bumped into Tiger Boy and his family in the Expo tent while Michelle was getting her race pack. We headed back over to Australia Fair Shopping Centre and met Schtumpys wife Julie and her friend Emily and sat down to have a good natter and a MilkShake (which took over 30 minutes to arrive at the table 😡 )
Drove back over to Harbour Town so that we could finish what we started. If you've never been to Harbour Town it's massive, and was full of outlets with huge SALE signs. If only I needed more handbags, shoes and clothes 😳 Met Emma while we there and got to meet her sister too. She pointed us in the direction of Converse, but was a bit disappointed as they were nearly out of their range of Saucony trainers. The sales girl said that once they'd sold all the old Saucony trainers they were getting in a whole new range. Looking forward to that 🙂
Decided to go to the Cinema that evening so that Michelle had something to concentrate on other than the Marathon. We watched Clubland, whch was okay….nothing really to write home about though. We also ate dinner at Fasta Pasta, and bought pick'n'mix from a fantastic lolly shop just around the corner from the cinema. Anyone ever had choc coated Strawberry Creams – YUM!
The alarm goes off at 5am and we're both up and organised before 5.30am (that's a first for me!!). Even at 5.45am there's a huge queue of traffic trying to get into the car park. To be fair, it was fairly orderly and the queue moved pretty quickly. As soon as we walked into the Shopping Centre (we were parked in the Shopping Centre car park) realised that Gloria Jeans was open – YAY!!! So with a large Skinny Latte in hand, we wandered around to the Food Court, which is where alot of people were milling around. As usual the queue for the Ladies toilet was out the door 🙄
Wandered over to the start line so that we could see the Half Marathoners take off and then it was Michelles turn. Once she'd run off, I wandered back over to the shops and grabbed a Boost Juice (Banana Buzz – YUM!) and then decided to walk down towards Surfers. The sun was out and it was just wonderful. Sat for a while admiring the view right on the edge of the water (there was a lovely seating area).
Walked back up to the 26km mark and saw Tiger Boy race by looking great, followed shortly after by Schtumpy, also looking good. Somehow or other I missed Michelle running past, even though I was looking the whole time. I videod all the 3.45 bus, 4hr bus, 4.15 bus and the 4.30 bus but she wasn't in any of them 😦 (For anyone who doesn't know, a bus is just a pacer with lots of people running behind him trying to keep up!) Caught up with Em, who was there to support her Brother and Sister. She hadn't seen Michelle go by either! I was hoping dearly that nothing bad had happened to her and she'd pulled out.
In no time at all the first of the Marathoners were crossing the finish line, so I found a good spot and waited for everyone to run past. Schtumpy ran past first, looking very relaxed. Then Tiger Boy passed, unfortunately not looking in great condition. I raced back to the car and grabbed Michelle's bag with all her after Marathon stuff in it, and couldn't get back to the same spot in time to see her pass by. I raced around to where they all come spilling out of the chutes after they've been given their medal and t-shirt and caught up with her there.
And how proud am I of this woman. She went up there with a goal of doing the Marathon in under 4 hours and that's just what she did. 3 hrs 57 mins something! There's nothing that this woman can't do, she's just awesome 🙂
It was then a dip in the water for her tired legs, a change of clothes and then we drove up to where we were having lunch. Because the main road was closed for the Marathon, we had to try and navigate around back streets to park close to the cafe (which was on the road that was closed 🙄 ). Finally got there!!
After lunch we drove back to the cabin and chilled out for a while. Walked over to Harbour Town to get something for dinner and then relaxed in the cabin and watched Big Brother. A fairly early night too.
Unfortunately my internal alarm clock woke me up at 6am, so I laid in bed watching the sun come up (it rises earlier in Qld) and listened to all the noisy birds. Once we were both up we packed up, ate brekky and drove back down to the airport…..okay, we stopped at Jupiters Casino for a little flutter on the way to the airport 😳
The weather was wonderful. I didn't want to get on the plane to come home, I wanted to find a nice beer garden somewhere on the beach and sit down in the sun and just stay there!! I remember now why I loved living up there 🙂
In the words of The Terminator – "I'll be back!"

Ok, so theoretically speaking a company can focus on 3 axis:
- Product Leadership
- Operational Excellency
- Customer Intimacy
(This diagram explains the theory further.)
Lately, I have been seeing amazing examples in how Customer Intimacy actually seems to drive long term sustainable growth. I am gonna take a few random examples from my own personal life and this is not based on any theory or study but just my instinct!
- Mark Geary– one of my favourite singers- pretty big in US/ Ireland/ Eastern Europe when it comes to singer/ songwriters. He reaches out to his fans through facebook, through myspace and becomes friends with them. Whether it's an email to help me deal with a sh!t day or a surprise CD to acknowledge my love for his music, he is always there. There is no "I am the star" attitude. There is no "I don't care for you" feeling. It's all about a hug, a smile, a pint and a shared connection. Marky, you are my hero! Thanks for your music.
- The Bikini Shop– saw them on TV3 Expose yesterday and decided to check out the website. Now I am lucky or unlucky to have a figure that's not the usual one and I don't always get my size. Unfortunately the combination of sizes was not on the website so I decided to call them- and they gladly took my size, my preferences and are looking to help me get the bikini I want. Now, that's service- this feeling of wanting to help me makes me want to go nowhere else- especially since no one has my size anyway!
- My local printer- As a photographer, I am constantly printing pictures, getting them framed, and as such, a frequent visitor to the local shop. Now, yesterday I was feeling sick and had absolutely no energy to go anywhere even though I needed to collect a commission from the shop that was due for delivery. So they called me, since they knew its importance to me and when they heard I was unwell, they even asked if they could bring me some groceries and medication. Now, that's service!
I mean everyone has good products, maybe they have good lean operations (that's more a cost management internal thing that a customer cannot judge externally) but if the products are comparable, who do you go for?
So if we convert our product focus to service, is it an automatic recipe for success… I truly wonder?
And is this something about the company culture, the training internally or is it just I have been luck to have come across the right people?!!

Lotus Minus the Colour
For Cee's Fun Foto Challenge this week she invites us to share our photos in Black and White or Sepia Tones. The Lotus (Nelumbo) flower is known for its glorious array of colours and the simplicity of its beauty. Used for many purposes other than just a cut flower – for food and medicinal purposes; as well as the sacred flower for buddhism and hinduism. For this week's challenge I played with these photos to see how it looked when the colours are taken out. I reckon it is still as beautiful – with colour or without.

In a headline article first published in the September issue of
Eureka magazine, senior human factors engineer, Ryan Meeks
discusses exemplar human factors engineering with editor, Justin
Many engineers fail to understand what human factors is and
Meeks provides a definition and a brief history. Meek's then uses
Apple as a good human factors example as the company engages with
the user at the earliest possible stage. He states Apple's
products are both consistent and customisable and that the iPad is
great at keeping users engaged, one of the fundamental principles
of human factors.
Meeks then draws on the comparison with the design of a nuclear
submarine. A submarine might be a more complex system, but Meeks
explains that it is ultimately one system consisting of thousands
of smaller systems. Meeks suggests that if you approach the design
in a similar way - engaging users at an early stage and then
determine your human requirements early, you can ensure that the
smaller systems are designed in the same way.
Meeks concludes that human factors is often brought in late as a
luxury and is not widely incorporated into engineering design. This
ultimately can cost companies a lot of money. He states that the
best practice is to let human factors get involved early on in the

ANOKA, Minn. (AP) — The state's largest school district, Anoka-Hennepin, is a step closer to joining the state's alternative system for evaluating and paying teachers, called Q Comp.
District spokesman Brett Johnson says the district learned its application had been approved by the Department of Education on Jan. 3.
The proposal was supported by the local teachers union, but still must be ratified by its members. The school board must also sign off.
Districts participating in the program receive an additional $260 per student in state aid and additional levy authority. About a third of the state's students will be taught by a teacher in the program next year.
Q Comp schools agree to a system of professional development and evaluation for teachers. It also links teacher pay to student test scores.
(© Copyright 2011 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)
Q comp is not the answer to fixing our state's education funding. The system of professional development and teacher evaluation is looked at with high regard, however; LINKING TEACHER PAY TO TEST SCORES IS NOT THE ANSWER. Classrooms are very diverse and thus lend themselves to a diverse set of scores. It is not fair to judge a teacher with a gifted class against a teacher with the special education cluster.
When will the government understand that in order to have a good education, you need to pay your teachers well in the first place!!

Case 2: A Professor's War
After undergraduate study in Sydney, Raymond Maxwell (Max) Crawford spent three years at Oxford 1927-30, and returned there after a stint of school-teaching in Sydney. In 1933 he started a research project on democratic and social change in Spain, though his interest in the growing crisis there was informed by a concern with the history of ideas, albeit a humanitarian concern also, but not a political one.
In the event, he returned to a job at Sydney University in 1935, and did produce some material on Spain, and took an interest in the material generated by the Spanish Relief Committee.
In 1937 he took up the History Chair at Melbourne and began to comment on the Spanish Civil War from a liberal democratic perspective, writing a letter to the Argus and giving addresses.
In 1938 his standing as a public liberal intellectual was enhanced when he became one of the Vice-Presidents of the Australian Council for Civil Liberties, and when Vice-Chancellor Medley took him on to the University National Service Committee he became a forceful critic of a proposal of Professor Copland in 1938 that service be made compulsory.
Crawford maintained that the University's most useful contribution to National Service, and, later, the War Effort, was to continue to operate as a teaching institution. There followed support for the ACTU boycott of National Registration, and a letter to The Age with thirty colleagues in May 1940 protesting at the curtailment of liberties by the National Security Act. This provoked controversy such that they wrote a further letter proclaiming their loyalty.
Amongst Crawford's other interests were developments in Soviet Russia, which took a practical turn when, as President of the University's Fine Arts Society, he organised a Russian cultural event to raise money for the Sheepskins for Russia appeal.
And after the election of the Curtin Government just before the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, Crawford wrote to Evatt (Minister for External Affairs), offering his services - for example, in Moscow or elsewhere. When the M.P. William Slater was appointed the first Australian Minister to the USSR, he lobbied to have Crawford go with him as First Secretary, and so in October 1942 they were farewelled by a meeting of 4000 at the Australian-Soviet Friendship League.
While engaged in routine work with the legation, and a spell working with Polish refugees and Displaced Persons, Crawford formed ideas for a book on post-revolutionary Russia. Ill health eventually saw him back in Melbourne in 1944, where he became foundation president of Australia-Soviet House. One of several organisations fostering friendship and understanding of the ally country, it encountered rapidly changing attitudes as Cold War positions resumed early in the postwar period. And before the end of 1946, Hawthorn M.L.A., F.L. Edmunds, named Crawford as a 'pink professor' in the House; and in 1947 renewed his attack on him for not relinquishing his connection with the 'subversive Communist subsidiary Australia-Soviet House'.
Further attacks saw the University leadership and SRC supporting Crawford, but his rebuttals were revealing a seachange in which he more explicitly distanced himself from Communist doctrine, and also stated he would not seek re-election to the Australia-Soviet House position. Crawford was for a time in the early 1950s denied a visa to enter the USA, but by decade's end he would be embroiled in a fresh controversy about Communist activity at the University, in which he would now be an accuser.

Under his Presidency, the Society's most successful event for 1942, recorded in this copy from the original minute book, was an afternoon in the Union Theatre in conjunction with the Labour Club, at which Russian cultural films were followed by folk dancing, marionettes and a Russian ballet, all in aid of Russian War Relief (Sheepskins Appeal), September 1942.

I take photos.
Make that lots of photos. I love capturing the world as I see it – through my looking-glasses. My husband has challenged me to actually USE the photos I take this year as something other than a screensaver that makes us both drift off mid-sentence while we watch it. So I'm doing two things.
Firstly, I've decided to keep a photo journal. I'm choosing my favourite photo I take each day and I'll print them off and stick them into a Kikki-K 365 journal.
Secondly, I've created this photo-blog. I'll update it as often as I can with photos I take and an explanation of each one. This will probably float around on the interweb for a long time without garnering notice, but I'm going to enjoy doing it. I've always loved journalling – this is just a more public way of doing that.
So here we go!
I love taking photos of scenery for one simple reason – it doesn't tend to move. It's hard to make stunning flowers like this look bad. So I'm starting off with these amazing frangipanis I found while we were out walking.
They smelt heavenly. They looked like they were straight out of Hawaii. They were right in the centre of suburban Sydney. It was a moment of escapism and I loved it. I couldn't take the whole tree home with me, so I took the photo.
So that's it – I've started blogging. Just like that. Let's see what comes of this!

Plan ahead! I get many last minute emails and phone calls where a parent is looking to schedule entertainment for a birthday party a few days before the actual party. Now, I understand that there are sometimes circumstances such as another party entertainer cancelled or the party was planned as an outdoor party with an inflatable Thomas the Tank Engine Bounce House and now with rain and wind coming the train themed party needs to be moved indoors. However, I also know that some people, especially those that are busy with work and children, and everything that goes along with that, will sometimes wait until the last minute. Plan ahead, I recommend calling the performer you want before reserving the room or setting the time and date of your party. Lots of times I get calls and the person on the other line says, "I have the room from 1PM to 4PM so I need you at 2PM." On a typical Saturday I will perform at 2, 3, or even 4 parties during the holidays. While I might not be able to travel, setup, and be ready for 2PM, 3 or 3:30PM might be possible. If the time and date where not already set with guests invited by the time I was contacted things could have been adjusted. If your child is 4 or 5 and obsessed with trains and you are doing your absolute best to give them the "Train Party of their Dreams" don't wait to the last minute. Next year they may no longer be "into" trains, so give them the best party you can now, by planning ahead! If you are set on hiring an entertainer for your child's birthday party, be flexible, call early, and be willing to change the date or time if it means giving your child a party they will never forget!
Most important thing to remember when planning a child's birthday party!

Queensland Parliament Inquiry into Cycling Issues follows Freo Recommendation
December 1, 2013 8 Comments
Interesting that on Friday the Queensland Parliament Inquiry into Cycling Issues came up with a very similar recommendation on loosening helmets laws that we pushed in Freo a couple of years ago. May be the WA Stage Government will pay more attention to the idea if comes from another liberal state?
The Committee recommends that the Minister for Transport and Main Roads:
introduce a 24 month trial which exempts cyclists aged 16 years (Freo said 18 years) and over from the mandatory helmet road rule when riding in parks, on footpaths and shared/cycle paths and on roads with a speed limit of 60 km/hr or less (Freo said 50kmh) and
develop an evaluation strategy for the trial which includes baseline measurements and data collection so that an assessment can be made which measures the effect and proves any benefits.

Speed-Trap abolishes tagging and provides marketers with 360-degree online customer visibility
Speed-Trap abolishes tagging and provides marketers with 360-degree online customer visibility
-Speed-Trap launches new 'zero-touch' deployment software that removes the need to add tags to websites and delivers complete client-side data capture accuracy -
Speed-Trap, the online customer insight specialist, today launches new 'zero-touch' deployment for its suite of customer insight software – Speed-Trap 6.1. The software captures complete, accurate, detailed, real-time information from every user, visitor or customer of 'instrumented' on-line applications and web sites.
Customer Data for CRM and Targeted Marketing Applications
Speed-Trap has a proven track record of being able to deliver customer-focussed, session-structured data via advanced reporting and open data models that allows its customers to build customer data marts, data warehouses and business applications with complete, accurate feeds of behavioural, experiential and transactional data from every visitor.
Since the company was founded, Speed-Trap's unique Dynamic Collection™ technology meant that a single change to the site or application would deliver a complete suite of customer data. Now, by using ICAP-capable network components, this single change can be applied via network software - proxies, load balancers or firewalls. Therefore, when looking to instrument any site or enterprise application that uses a browser as its interface, you won't have to make any changes whatsoever!
'Packet-sniffing' simplicity with, Client Side Accuracy
This announcement means that customers can now deploy Speed-Trap's software as simply as 'packet-sniffing' web analytics solutions, but benefit from the rich, accurate customer experience data that is only available from in-browser, client-side collection systems.
Malcolm Duckett, VP Marketing & Operations at Speed-Trap, comments, "This is precisely the solution that marketers have needed all along. They now have complete online insight into customer interactions – everything from a mouse move to an incomplete form, rather than just 'page hit' levels of information – with an extremely simple deployment process."
Duckett continues, "By instrumenting the site at the network level, using standard network products to insert the Dynamic Collection code into each page, Speed-Trap can now gather absolutely every interaction between the user and the site or application in order to create a detailed, customer-focused, session-based record that is ideal for real-time CRM, personalisation, customer experience and business process monitoring applications. In short, we deliver the ultimate view of everything they did, everything they saw and everything that happened to each user of the site or application."
All this is possible because Speed-Trap's Dynamic Collection uses a static insert which dynamically adapts to each page, allowing complete collection from any HTML page, including Flash and SSL applications and needs no additional code or variables to be defined. This is particularly powerful as it means that deployment timescales can be measured in hours rather than weeks or months, and any web-based applications that use a browser for access - can be instrumented without any code changes.
Charlie Irish, Technical Manager at InsuranceWide, the independent insurer comparison service and Speed-Trap client, comments, "Tagging in any form is vastly inferior to Speed-Trap's style of session-based tracking. It is not only a time-consuming process, but it is also impossible to say for certain which parts of the site are the best to tag. Subsequent changes are often difficult to make and the process is so long that it's easy to slip into a situation where you have to maintain a legacy system. Packet-sniffing is equally inefficient. It provides an incomplete picture with data that is very hard to analyse. With no visibility of most of the interaction, using packet-sniffer applications to do more than basic error detection of customer insight is only a few steps removed from trawling through server logs. Session-based tracking really is the only reliable way to understand your customer."
Duckett comments, "Tagging falls down mainly from a logistical point of view – it simply takes too long and costs too much to do. Even if the time issue can be ameliorated through tag automation you still only recover basic page-level data, so there is still the massive unspoken problem of how does a marketer know what additional data he wants to tag for?"
"Deciding what elements of the site are to be tagged is not so much a science as a stab in the dark and no tagging solution combats this fault. If the wrong objects, forms or clicks are monitored, huge underlying site problems remain undetected and when bad things happen the users have to go back and tag some more, to try to get the data they need. In reality this means spending more time and money with the IT department and then waiting for the tags to be deployed and the data to arrive. With Speed-Trap, all that data is already available for instant analysis," concludes Duckett.
About Speed-Trap

If you can't find lychee wine in Asian stores, look for it online - you can get it quite cheaply here. Alternatively, use Gewurztraminer wine as a substitute.
1. Peel the pears, keeping them whole and the stalk intact.
2. Place the star anise, cinnamon, lychee wine, sugar and canned lychees and syrup in a pan and bring to a simmer. Add the pears, making sure they are covered by the liquid. Place a lid on and poach for 20-30 minutes, or until tender all the way though.
3. Remove the pears from the pan and set aside. Return the poaching liquid to the heat and boil until reduced to a syrupy consistency. Set aside until cooled.
4. To serve, place each pear into a bowl and spoon over the cooled syrup and garnish with the lychees. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
