Making a terrarium is super easy, super quick, cheap and a fun activity to do with children. I'm a terrible gardener and pretty much kill any plants who has the misfortune of passing my door, but even I managed to make a terrarium (with the help of my 4 year old). I love it, and it is very low maintenance.
Material Needed:
+ A large vase
+ Soil
+ Gravel or glass beads
+ Plants of your choice
Optional: moss and decorations, woodbark
Start by putting a layer of gravel at the bottom of the vase, then a layer of wood bark (that is optional, but I didn't have enough gravel). This is to help the water drain. Then add a thin layer of soil, make a hollow hole and place your plants. There is a large variety of plants to choose from for a terrarium. I went for a succulent plant that is very easy to take care of, but you could also use fern, mini ivy, creeping fig…Terrariums need sunlight so it's best to place them on a window ledge, and they don't need much watering: I water mine every week and I make sure there's only a tiny bit of water at the bottom. Depending on what plant you use, you might need to water it more regularly. We even placed some tiny dinosaurs so we now have our own tiny Jurassic Park!

Real Talk 6: You know your boy did that...
Yo, with the summer coming to a close it's gettin' real hectic; 50 vs. the whole game (seemingly), still no word from Cam'ron, new Common is already the year's MUST cop. The winter season is gonna be bringing plenty of heat though. It's been a minute so let's get into it...
Swizz Beatz - You Know Your Boy Did That
Now I been waitin' on this album for a minute, just for this track alone, Check the YouTube jumpoff here. Ever since I caught that video I've been flippin' over the beat, it's the hardest track on the album and it's not even produced by the man himself. A producer under the moniker "Snags" comes with a roaring synth line and pounding drums that'll destroy your aftermarket 6x9's in no time. So serious.
Big L - Da Graveyard (feat. Lord Finesse, Microphone Nut, Jay-Z, Party Arty & Y.U.)
DESTRUCTION. Ran across a copy of "The Big Picture" at a record shop this wekeend and it hasn't left the car since. Every time this comes in iTunes I gotta laugh 'cause it doesn't get ANY better. Everybody drops enough one liners to fill an entire album, but it's a toss up between L and Jay, who hasn't gotten as lyrical since.
Jim Jones - Looking At The Game (feat. Stack Bundles & Lil' Wayne)
Not quite ready to bet this is gonna be the next "We Fly High" but the tune is BIG. BIG BIG. Big drum hits, big synth line, ridiculous hook, even whistles to boot. Jones gettin' more lyrical, Stacks manages to stand out among the other two, and Wayne spaces out exactly like you'd expect. Koch is lookin' like anything but a "graveyard"...
50 Cent - Part Time Lover
...which brings us to (and you knew it had to happen) 50. Apologies for the radio rip, and you can think whatever you want, but he WILL outsell Kanye come September 11th, no doubt. 50's always managed a pretty decent diss track (Puffy) and this one doesn't disappoint. Bump this in the car and the chorus'll have you curb checkin' all over the place. Can't knock dude this time around, "I Get Money" IS the hottest track of the summer.
Antipop Consortium - Verses
We'll pull a quick classic out of the crate from one of the groups who's split I regret most. APC came from totally different angles on production and lyrics and a still managed to make it all flow. One of the most innovate groups to come out of New York.

Michael Jackson Pop Singer
Michael Jackson Pop Singer
Michael Jackson
American singer-songwriter
Michael Joseph Jackson was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, actor, and philanthropist.
Born: August 29, 1958, Gary, Indiana, United States
Died: June 25, 2009, Holmby Hills, Los Angeles, California, United States
Children: Paris Jackson, Prince Michael Jackson II, Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr.
Did you know: Michael Jackson's "Thriller" is the best-selling album of all time by claimed sales (65 million).
Michael Joseph Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana on August 29, 1958, and entertained audiences nearly his entire life. His father, Joe Jackson, had been a guitarist, but was forced to give up his musical ambitions following his marriage to Katherine Jackson (née Katherine Esther Scruse). Together, they prodded their growing family's musical interests at home. By the early 1960s, the older boys Jackie, Tito and Jermaine had begun performing around the city; by 1964, Michael and Marlon had joined in.
A musical prodigy, Michael's singing and dancing talents were amazingly mature, and he soon became the dominant voice and focus of the Jackson 5. An opening act for such soul groups as the O-Jays and James Brown, it was Gladys Knight (not Diana Ross) who officially brought the group to Berry Gordy's attention, and by 1969, the boys were producing back-to-back chart-busting hits as Motown artists ("I Want You Back," "ABC," "Never Can Say Goodbye," "Got to Be There," etc.). As a product of the 1970s, the boys emerged as one of the most accomplished black pop / soul vocal groups in music history, successfully evolving from a group like The Temptations to a disco phenomenon.
Solo success for Michael was inevitable, and by the 1980s, he had become infinitely more popular than his brotherly group. Record sales consistently orbited, culminating in the biggest-selling album of all time, "Thriller" in 1982. A TV natural, he ventured rather uneasily into films, such as playing the Scarecrow in The Wiz (1978), but had much better luck with elaborate music videos.
In the 1990s, the downside as an 1980s pop phenomenon began to rear itself. Michael grew terribly child-like and introverted by his peerless celebrity. A rather timorous, androgynous figure to begin with, his physical appearance began to change drastically, and his behavior grew alarmingly bizarre, making him a consistent target for scandal-making, despite his numerous charitable acts. Two brief marriages — one to Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa Marie Presley — were forged and two children produced by his second wife during that time, but the purposes behind them appeared image-oriented. Despite it all, Jackson's passion and artistry as a singer, dancer, writer and businessman are unparalleled, and it is these prodigious talents that will ultimately prevail over the extremely negative aspects of his seriously troubled adult life.
Unbelievable Success
While working on The Wiz, Jackson met producer Quincy Jones (1933). They worked together on Jackson's 1979 album Off the Wall, which sold ten million copies and earned critical praise. In 1982 Jackson and Jones again joined forces on the Thriller album. Thriller fully established Jackson as a solo performer, and his hit songs from the album—"Beat It," "Billie Jean," and "Thriller"—made him the major pop star of the early 1980s. The success of Thriller (with forty million copies sold, it remains one of the best-selling albums of all time) and the videos of its songs also helped Jackson break the color barrier imposed by radio stations and the powerful music video channel MTV. By 1983 Jackson was the single most popular entertainer in America.
In 1985 Jackson reunited with Quincy Jones for USA for Africa's "We Are the World," which raised funds for the poor in Africa. Jackson's next two albums, Bad (1987) and Dangerous (1991), were not as hugely successful as Thriller, but Jackson remained in the spotlight throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s. In 1992 he founded "Heal the World" to aid children and the environment. In 1993 he was presented with the "Living Legend Award" at the Grammy Awards ceremony and with the Humanitarian one who promotes human welfare of the Year trophy at the Soul Train awards.
Final Year
In the aftermath of the trial, Jackson's reputation was effectively destroyed and his finances were in shambles. He soon found refuge in his friendship with Bahrain's Prince Salman Bin Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa, who helped the pop star pay his legal and utility bills, and invited him to his country as a personal guest.
In Bahrain, the prince took care of the singer's expenses and built a recording studio for him. In return, Jackson allegedly promised to collaborate on a new album for Al-Khalifa's record label, write an autobiography and create a stage play. The completed work never materialized, however, and Jackson soon faced a $7 million lawsuit from his friend for reneging on his promises.
In even greater financial straits, Jackson defaulted on the $24.5 million loan owed on his Neverland Ranch in 2008. Unable to part with cherished keepsakes, including the crystal gloves he used in performances, Jackson sued to block the auction of some of his personal items from the home the following year.
Around this same time, the largely reclusive Jackson announced that he would be performing a series of concerts as his "final curtain call." Despite all of the allegations and stories of odd behavior, Jackson remained a figure of great interest, as demonstrated by the strong response to his concert plans; set to appear at the O2 Arena in London, England, beginning July 8, 2009, Jackson saw all of the tickets to his "This Is It" tour sell out in only four hours.
Solo Superstar Interview
In a 1993 interview, Jackson told Oprah Winfrey that he had lost his childhood and endured abuse at the hands of his notoriously strong-willed father. Jackson, who was twice married and the father of three children, admitted to Winfrey that Joseph Jackson had beat him and that it was difficult to get on stage after that.The 1992 made-for-television movie "The Jacksons: An American Dream" gave a detailed portrait of life in the Jackson household, portraying Joseph Jackson as a harsh stage father who would rouse his children for impromptu rehearsals in the middle of the night, and Katherine Jackson as the long-suffering wife and mother who tried valiantly to keep the peace. But Jackson continued on his skyrocket to superstardom with his 1979 album "Off the Wall." By 1984, Jackson had officially left his brothers behind. Though little sister Janet Jackson racked up her own cache of awards and accolades, Michael Jackson remained the family's most popular and successful member.In later years, there were reports of rifts within the Jackson family, but when his death was announced it was his big brother Jermaine Jackson who greeted reporters with tears in his eyes. "May Allah be with you, Michael, always" Jermaine Jackson told the crowd. "Love you."

The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work.
Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.
Sadly, Michael Jackson would never get to experience the anticipated success of his comeback tour. On June 25, 2009, Jackson suffered cardiac arrest in his Los Angeles home. He was rushed to the hospital after his heart stopped and CPR attempts failed, and died later that morning. He was 50 years old.
News of Jackson's death resulted in an outpouring of public grief and sympathy. Memorials to Jackson were erected around the world, including one at the arena where he was set to perform and another at his childhood home in Gary, Indiana. On July 7, 2009, a televised memorial was held for fans of the "King of Pop" at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. While 17,500 free tickets were issued to fans via lottery, an estimated 1 billion viewers watched the memorial on TV or online.

"I bet I could have cut back on many of the seventy, eighty, and ninety-hour weeks that I've put in over the years, if I'd been more systematic and rigorous in managing time!"
Get Aggressive About Managing Time!
Time and money are both very important in business. Yet, like me, many business people tend to give a lot more specific thought as to how to spend their money. Too often, how we spend our time is only thought of in terms of "What am I going to do today?" or "What should I do next?"
Just as a well-run business should carefully develop a strategy to determine how to spend its money, an effective businessperson should carefully develop a strategy to determine how to use his or her time.
Just as a well-run business follows a budget in spending money, an effective businessperson should also follow a budget (or schedule) in spending time.
Prioritize Your Time!
The first step in effective time management is not to develop a schedule, but instead to develop a time strategy. The time strategy should be based on a short list of time priorities.
You start by identifying the number one way you can most increase profits by use of your time; then the number two-way; then the Number three-way; etc. This short list of time priorities forms the foundation for your time planning for every week of the year.
These time priorities may be identical to key parts of your company strategy or they may be different. For example, if your company strategy is based upon excellent customer service, spending lots of your time in customer service may not be the best use of your time if you have a terrific customer-service manager.
Narrow Your Focus!
Focus is crucial for time management, and the fewer priorities you focus on at once, the more productive you will be.
After you have your major time priorities for the year established, you should allocate them by week or by month. Like it or not, a lot of our time each week is going to be eaten up by – items that we have no control over; hence it is important to limit the number of strategic time goals we have for each week. So even if you have ten strategic time goals for the year, you may want to focus on no more than one or two of them in any given week.
For example, in a particular week you may plan on working on your number one time objective, let's say planning improvements for the company's major product line, and a secondary goal, let's say re-evaluating the dealer marketing program, but no time on other secondary time goals that you plan on tackling during other weeks.
Set Aside Uninterrupted Time
Every week you should make up a detailed time plan, which you modify each day as needed. Except in times of crisis, try to make sure day-to-day issues don't push your strategic time priorities off your schedule.
Generally your major strategic time priorities will involve such activities as planning, thinking, and developing ideas. More so than day-to-day issues, such activities require big blocks of uninterrupted time.
Constant interruption kills any hope of effective time management. One way to avoid interruption is to make it clear that when your door is closed you are not to be disturbed. Another is to have regular meetings, such as every week, with the people that you interact with the most and insist on saving non-pressing issues for these meetings.
Avoid My Time Traps!
These are some "time traps," all of which have plagued me, that you should guard against:
- Spending a disproportionately high amount of time in the offices where the most congenial people are, as opposed to where the most important issues are.
- Wasting too much time getting daily updates on routine activities as opposed to waiting for a more meaningful weekly summary.
- Jumping too eagerly into the routine, more straightforward work and putting off the more complex and difficult work.
- Not starting the more important work first thing in the morning.
- Not bothering to make up a schedule for each day.
- Over scheduling–scheduling each day so tightly that it is impossible to stay on track and the schedule quickly becomes meaningless.

I just finished writing a poetic and touching post about Thanksgiving and giving thanks… and the blog program crashed and everything disappeared. So I am taking the part about thanking technology out, and starting over again.
I'm thankful for my friends and family, and for those who pop in to my blog to visit. I'm thankful for the small things in life – like the dog sleeping at my feet, the beautiful sunrise I see through the window, and the churchbells that ring at 8 a.m. and not 7 a.m. like in the next village over.
I'm thankful for my crit partners who help me out, for my neighbors who help me out, and for Scott who chats with my in the morning and doesn't mind that I'm still half asleep!
I'm thankful for the time I get to spend on this good earth…and in the evening I am thankful to be able to see the stars through the window and hear my hubby's snores – (a little less loud and I'd be really thankful)
I'm thankful for the chance I have family scattered across the globe so I can travel and visit.
Happy Thanksgiving to All! I hope you have big and small things to be thankful for –
Best wishes,

The Runaways Remember Me
15 comments:
Rose, I absolutely agree with you. Rob was magical when we first saw him in those initial Twilight promos. That's when we all fell in love with him. I remember grieving even then because I knew that there was no way he could continue being so amazingly open; in time, he'd become jaded, self-protective, guarded, and uber-managed by his team. Well, it has come to pass. I will always love him, but I deeply miss that amazing man-child with the full-out laugh and the naughty-boy slip-ups. He's gone for good I'm afraid.

I agree. I knew it was coming too. I'm so happy we got to see it though. I feel sorry for the ones who get on the Rob train too late. But at least that smile that reaches his eyes happens when he's with Kristen ( think Kimmel's couch) or with his pals. I didn't see it at all when he was doing press with Emilie. But yes our boy is growing up. and he'll be losing that magical innocent curiousity that we so adore. I love your blog. Love the set up. Just long enough. xo,Karen
- Friday, March 05, 2010 10:42:00 AM
I don't think Rob changed. I think hes just showing his true colours now. How do you know what hes really like behind closed doors? I think the Details interview was a real eye-opener for many people. Sorry, but no ones perfect and as far as I'm concerned Rob is not the nice guy that you think he is. I think whats happened is that hes become a sellout just like most Hollywood actors. Thats just my opinion.
- Friday, March 05, 2010 10:57:00 AM
I think Rob didn't change that much...but it's true that his more careful of what he says...and I tottally understand why...you saw how people took his vagina comments and start calling him gay or how some women were offended or saying that he was scared of women, and now Rob realized that he has to be careful of what he says...it's sad but I understand.
Just don't forget that inside Rob is still the same, even if his got to be more careful how he show him self in public and what he says.
Remember...he can't give the tabloides what they want...'a reazon to talk about him'
(sorry for bad english)
- Friday, March 05, 2010 11:09:00 AM
Hey Rose!! I love your blog!! I think you say everithing we like to speak. Rob is a very good actor and an excellent boy!! I love him too, and i think people talks too much about things there no makes sence, like Robert been gay...oh my God!! Then, i'd like to thank you for your words!!!
Kisses Jackie

Rose: I feel the same way! The MTV interview with Rob and Kristen in 2008 was my favorite. They were both so OPEN and HONEST! The whole time they were on the press junket (their looks at each other )OMG. That's when I first seen their feelings but she was with Michael then! But it's always been there. All the interviews he did were wonderful (just like you said.) I've been sad to see that all go (but like when he fooled around with Jimmy Fallon in the tree (Old Rob's )still underneath it all. I was afraid "New Moon" premiere was going to be different also and it was! Rob and Kristen were never even together!( except at after party)! HERE"S hoping that OLD Rob can find a happy medium and give us some more of his honest cute ways, but guess what, WE LOVE HIM AND WILL TAKE HIM ANYWAY HE IS, RIGHT! GRAZIE AGAIN FOR ANOTHER spot on post!
- Friday, March 05, 2010 11:11:00 AM
Could you blame him for being wary? The guy has to deal with people like Anon 10:57 above. But his sense of humor still comes out & I adore him for it. The media & other groups have painted a giant bullseye on his back. Build them up & then pull them down. It's a sad fact of Hollywood.
- Friday, March 05, 2010 11:21:00 AM
Don't understand what you mean when you say
'I think the Details interview was a real eye-opener for many people.'...what eys-opener, I did't see anything wrong in that interview...only the morrons did.
And when you say:
'Sorry, but no ones perfect and as far as I'm concerned Rob is not the nice guy that you think he is. I think whats happened is that hes become a sellout just like most Hollywood actors'
Don't understand also...do you know Rob to say is not a nice...and his nothing like most Hollywood actors...don't talk about people as if you know them
- Friday, March 05, 2010 11:21:00 AM
What I mean is that Hollywood can change people or it can show them as they really are. I'd choose the latter for Rob. Thats my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
- Friday, March 05, 2010 11:49:00 AM
Hey Rose I absolutely agree with you about the change in our Rob.Im just sorry it had to happen .Oh yes we all new it would .And I even think Rob new it would. Poor kid cant even be himself any more with out people making up shit and making it BAD for him.Seems to me all he wanted to do is act,make movies AND try his best to make his FANS happy. YES I still love Rob and believe in him .he is growing up and cant say things the way he did before cauce people well wright or say BAD things about him SO our boy cant be like he was before. I just want the best for Rob and well take him any way I can. Thanks a gain Rose blog you again made my day.Have a good day my friend. Deb.

After reaing another amazing post, I am off to YouTube to watch some of those old interviews that I miss so much. I just hope the Eclipse junkets are so much better than New Moon but I am sure I will be happy with them, I have been happy with the press he has been doing for RM...He is still a cutie !!
- Friday, March 05, 2010 8:39:00 PM
OMG I was thinking exactly the same thing. I remember when I first saw him in an MTV interview he and Kristen was so open and relax and kind of innocent. All his other interviews for Twilight he had me be laughing so hard. I kept thingking he needs to do a comedy. Now you can see the reserve, but I guess he has no choice. You live and learn.
- Saturday, March 06, 2010 12:39:00 AM
I'm in LOVE with your blog! Yes, I really do :D Love your ideas, thoughts abour Rob/Kristen (I don't like Robsten either :D), your realistic personality.. Thank you so much..
I guess you need to see them because I want to read your ideas :D
- Saturday, March 06, 2010 5:32:00 AM
I think some people (anon above, for example) purposefully misinterpret what you are saying Rose. You did not say he is a sellout - far from it. You said he has become more guarded. I totally agree with you and share your sadness. Last year, as I started following Rob, getting to "know" him as we all did, I too knew this day would come. It's sad, but inevitable. Look at how he was attacked physically in NY last summer. Look at how his words are misconstrued. I too still love him, love him more, but mourn losing the free Rob. I'm sure he's still that guy with his friends. The more we all push, the more he will retreat. I did see a glimpse of fun Rob on the Red Carpet with Emilie, when he was teasing her, telling her to tell them something fascinating about him! Hilarious....there were other moments too, of course. But you are exactly right as always Rose, there are fewer of them.
- Saturday, March 06, 2010 8:02:00 AM
I think Rob is still very open but he seems to be able to sense when a person has an agenda. I've noticed we still get some great gems when the interviewer is laid back. However, in some you can tell the person is wanting a particular response. Rob seems more guarded in these and rightfully so.

No deposit bonus casino is extremely popular choice among UK players. Many casino players opt to join online casinos which offer free spins no deposit required. Indeed, free spins are a good way to start playing in a new online casino. You can get a taste of their online slots and try their promotions. Free spins no deposit are nowadays available on various sites across the net.
No deposit bonus is also in high demand as not so widely offered. No surprise, since no deposit bonus offers cash balance which you can spend playing any favorite game of your choice, like double bubble slot. While free spins are generally tight to specific slots, no deposit bonus offers full freedom of game selection. So keep an eye on the no deposit bonus section which we will keep updated with latest no deposit bonus offers.
At casino-hopper we hand-pick the most reputable UK online casinos and focus on the exclusive casino bonuses. All casinos listed on this portal are real money mobile casinos. Some of them even offer no wager free spins, like Guts or Power Spins. However, majority of casinos offer deposit bonuses to stimulate their players play for real money.
Deposit Bonus is a match bonus to stimulate first, second and repeat deposits. It is a percentage match which can vary from as low as 50% and go up to 400% bonus on first deposit. E.g. a 200% deposit will bump your £50 deposit up to £150 balance to play with. Such huge deposit bonuses always come with wagering requirements to meet. This means you have to turnover the amount of winnings x number of times before you can cash them out. Look out for casinos which offer non-sticky bonus, this allows you to play your real money first and cash out any winnings before you touch the bonus funds. So if you are lucky and hit a big win right from the start you can simply drop the bonus and request a withdrawal.
Another popular bonus type rapidly picking up its popularity is casino cashback offers. Cashback is generally paid and calculated on player's Net losses (total wagering minus total payout). So in fact, playing with such bonus is less risky. This is because casino grantees you certain percentage back from your losses. For example, BGO Casino is offering UK players 100% up to £20 cashback on losses with no wagering requirement.

The Outsiders
I remember it well. That first cigarette. Behind the old and now defunct cricket pavilion. Leader of the pack ,then as always, 15 year old John "Gordon" Packett. Puffing on my Gold Leaf tipped and going greener with every puff , he said those immortal words "Hugh you look really good smoking". Looking good; smoking: Bogart, Belmondo, Brando, Dean,Thompson. I was joining an immortal lady killing line.I was a made man.
Thankyou Gordon. Thirty years later I gave up. Packett went on to be a successful stockbroker in Canada and the UK and then got the tango bug and now runs a successful boutique hotel in Buenos Aires. We stayed with him on our world tour. He now famously has 45 pairs of tango shoes,he once proudly claimed he never went out with a woman over 25!
There was a time when we all smoked. Even the saintly Vivien had a year or two drawing on Gauloisses. But now of the 100 or so people I still know well enough ,only a few still smoke. Sarah who still does it semi surreptitiously. That is she disappears every four hours for five minutes. But her husband Ron who was a two pack a day man went to a hypnotist and gave up four years ago.
Eric has given up so many times that that he should write a book. In fact he has written several but not on his least favoured subject. At least he now smokes in the open,there was a time he tried to hide the fact from his long suffering wife, Irena. He snores so much he needs what looks like a diving bell to sleep in.
Tom carries on dragging away on his Benson Hedges. He claims to be down a ten a day but we all know that after afew beers that could double. But Edward who we also worked with who used to in great macho style bite off the effeminate tips of his cigarettes now has gone clean. As has the ever smooth Trevor who until recently looked like he was going to keep the age of steam going on forever.
Nick though despite constant ill health and bouts of absistinece keeps Imperial Tobacco happy. Though his wife Caroline who at one point kept him company light for light has come over to the land of the clean and dull. My dear boy, Leo Beckham Thompson smokes as do many of his friends when the drinks and fun flow the fastest. His wife Vicky has fought a Stalingrad of a battle against her long habit.
When I was a school teacher in the very late 60s I not only beat the children but smoked in front of them. Both now capital offences. Near Putney Bridge tube, there is the fading cigarette ad on the side of a house. "For your throats sake smike Craven A". But the brand we should be looking out for is the one that "four out of five doctors recommend". Who can forget the doctor smoking in the Madman TV series when he is making a gynaecological examination? E cigarettes? Don't make me laugh,do they suck them after sex? Come on.
All this inspired by the most wonderful book No Smoking by Luc Santé. A wonderful essay with 200 of the most glorious smoking photos. See link.

I love words. I love reading, writing, and talking. Ask anyone. During my lifetime, I've made a living doing each one of them, and now that I'm no longer working, I do them all for free.
By most estimates, the English language has more than a million words, all made by combining a mere 26 letters. That's more than any other language because we beg, borrow, steal, adapt, and adopt words with abandon from other languages. We have no shame, although rest assured that thanks to our passionate pilfering proclivities, we have plenty of words that mean "shame."
Scientists say language is our most human characteristic. We use it to provoke, warn, flatter, explain, calm, think, imagine, blame, argue, prevaricate, and to shine a light of truth on the world.
I'm a United Methodist. You may have seen on the news that our church officially denies LGBTQ people as being compatible with Christian teachings. Bullshit. The people of the South Central Jurisdiction, encompassing Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Kansas, Nebraska, and Missouri, are desperately hanging onto their hate and prejudice and trying to impose those beliefs onto those of us in the West, who elected a lovely and loving woman as our bishop. Our bishop.
Can you tell I'm angry?
My church has a banner that proclaims Love is Love. Isn't that the ultimate Christian value? Shine the light of truth.
Say the word I'm thinking of.
Have you heard? The word is Love.

Image. Everyone is concerned with what sort of image they present to the world. Businesses spend millions of dollars in advertising and marketing to build an image. Individuals "dress for success," or maybe just the opposite, to convince others what the type of person they are. I'm guessing most people have an image in mind when they think of motorcyclists. Some probably think of the leather clad "racer boy" types that run up and down the highway on the back wheel of their sport bike, seemingly oblivious to the "rules of the road" and common sense. A few might think of old guys with teddy bears strapped to the back of their rolling light show. But I'm guessing when most people think of motorcyclists, they think "biker." And when they think biker, they think black leather, loud pipes and rebel attitudes…or at least wanna be attitudes. Back in the 60's, the American Motorcycle Association dubbed outlaw motorcyclists the "One Percenters." The idea was that 99% of the motorcycling population is law-abiding. Apparently they weren't counting traffic violations!
I've met some really awesome people over the years while traveling on my motorcycles. There is still a sense of comradery among motorcyclists. Just pull in a parking lot anywhere in the country and if there is another rider around, the two of you will be magnetically drawn together. While the "wave" has become less of a common occurrence, I still enjoy the feeling of tipping my finger to a fellow rider as we pass. It is like saying, "This is what makes us come alive. We share this bond."
I remember several years ago I was riding in West Virginia and Virginia. I was traveling to Lexington for the night and had jumped on the Interstate. I pulled off at a rest area that was complete with gas, food and coffee. I parked my bike, grabbed a cup of coffee and sat down at a table. A few minutes later a tall gentleman in a leather jacket and pants walked up to me and said, "Is that your BMW outside?" I said yes, and he proceeded to introduce himself to me. He lived in Washington DC and owned, what later sounded like a very successful business. He was on the road visiting his children at college. One was in Ohio, the other West Virginia. It was a great conversation as we shared our love for riding. He told me if my wife and I ever came to DC, he would put us up and give us the tour, then handed me his business card. Who says that sort of thing to a complete stranger? As we got ready to depart, he asked my direction and then offered to hook me up with a place to stay for the night. He said he was sleeping on the floor of his son's dorm room and I could join him if I didn't mind not getting much sleep. And then he had a better idea…he told me he knew a woman in the town we were headed to that he believed would gladly put me up. I don't really know exactly what he had in mind, but he told me she was single…and my age. Somehow I was smart enough to think that it probably wasn't the best idea! I told him thanks, but no thanks, then we mounted up and went our own way.
Say what you want about "bikers," but they are some of the most generous people you will ever meet. After all, how many people do you know that are willing to share their girlfriend with you!
Did you catch the smile on that valet's face? That says it all.

'When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter'
Legal Commentary
Observations focused on the problems of an underdeveloped country, Venezuela, with some serendipity about the world (orchids, techs, science, investments, politics) at large. A famous Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.

Albertson, which won its first conference title in 24 years before advancing to the national quarterfinals in 2006, gained 121 poll points, including all 11 first-place votes. Concordia is third with 93 points and Oregon Tech is fourth with 91.
In the men's cross country poll, Concordia picked up 117 points and eight first-place votes. Albertson (101) and SOU (100) were seperated by just one vote, while Eastern Oregon was third with 92 points. Both Albertson and SOU picked up one first-place vote.
Southern Oregon's fall sports season begins Aug. 18, when the SOU women's soccer team hosts Humboldt State in a 2 p.m. friendly. The first counters take place Aug. 24, when the SOU women's soccer team travels to Klamath Falls to take on Oregon Tech and the SOU volleyball team travels to Fresno, Calif., to play its Fresno Pacific Tournament-opener against Azusa Pacific.
Pop Warner
Ashland will host the Rogue Valley Pop Warner Jamboree from noon to 8 p.m. Saturday at Raider Stadium.
Thirty-two teams which compete primarily in the league's three main levels &
Mitey Mites, Junior Peewee and Peewee &

My aunt and uncle are visiting from San Francisco – they just arrived today. I cooked us a risotto verde for dinner. The internet is amazing. This recipe was supposed to be stuck in a vegetarian cookbook at my mother's house in Pennsylvania. But I remembered some things about it, searched for it, and it was the 5th hit on google. I am amazed.
We took a walk after dinner down the Water of Leith. I've already showed you pictures from that walk when Andrew and I took it, but I loved Uncle Peter naming all of the flowers along the way, even the ones climbing up the bridge face in Dean Village.
Sara and Peter brought us a beautiful printed tea towel as a housewarming gift, which looks like an abstract impressionist scene from our own kitchen. Sara also gave me Infinite City: A San Francisco Atlas by Rebecca Solnit, author of A Field Guide to Getting Lost, which you would love, and which apparently she and I have both read. What a small literary world. Have I told you about the Field Guide? Or sent you any quotes from it? I will, if I haven't. I probably still will, even if I have.
14. Who Am I Where?
The title of this map is an interrogation — or an invitation to consider your own geographic identity — and a reminder that identity fluctuates on the scale of neighborhoods and individual institutions, not just on the scale of nations and regions. This is also a map of friendships and personal histories, origins and transformations.
– Infinite City, Rebecca Solnit
More tomorrow. Bed now for a busy day ahead tomorrow. I'm so glad we have this. I love waking up and reading your letters in bed. When do you check for mine?

9-7-09 Monday – Port Renfrew, Suggery Cove, Port San Juan, Vancouver Is. September 11, 2009Posted by captnmike in The Queen Charlottes 2009.
Left Bamfield at 7:31am. Pretty rock and rolly for the first half. Basically wind on the nose or not much at all. Current was against us most of the day until 1:30pm. We saw Tatoosh Island and Cape Flattery today which is the first time to see USA for over two months. Sky and weather was great the last half of the trip except for no wind. We tried trolling for salmon but no luck since the rains.
We're in Suggery Cove, in Port San Juan, Vancouver Is. about 5:06pm. There is WiFi here of all places. Good weather, a bit rough at first, then settled down, but I drank some tea while cooking crabs and mopping up the floor from a 2 1/2 gallon spill of salt water in the galley at the first of the trip in rough seas, and the tea came back up. I was taking some oysters in a bucket to the galley. I decided to stay outside and steer for a while. Did fine the rest of the trip. Trip1657.1, Motor 45.0 ( Note I messed up on the last mileage entry. For 9-5-09 it should be Trip 1612.1 for 4.7 motoring)

2jesus.org is telling a Great Christian ... Job well done my good and faithful servant. If there was any man who led me to healing, who lit the path to the meaning of Jesus' word it was Kenneth Hagin. He was an example of what Jesus can do if you only believe.
Mark 11:23-24 -
Brother Hagin led me to this verse and with Jesus, made it come alive in my life. Kenneth Hagin lying in bed in 1933, given no hope of life, believed that those scriptures mean what they said - acted upon them in simple faith - and rose up healed. Thank you Jesus!
Thank you Jesus for the time we had with Kenneth Hagin. I know that Heaven is shouting Hallelujah, welcome home ... 2jesus

Mat Zo Releases "New" Track On Soundcloud
I'll preface this post in the most simple way possible; Mat Zo just released an unreleased track from 2013 to his soundcloud account. Make sense lol? Although the track, "Giving It All Up", is old, it's certainly a treat to hear a track that never really made it to the surface, even though it was probably played hundreds of times in his sets throughout the past year. Take a listen to this incredibly groovy track, as Zo shows off one of his hidden gems!

Leah Walkowski and Mwaka Benson, Northern Uganda HipHop Culture
From 1986-2006, as war raged throughout Northern Uganda, Mwaka Benson (better known as Benny) turned to rapping and music as a means of coping with the turmoil surrounding him. Since that time, he has worked with youth in the Kitgum Sub-region of Uganda, helping them to find inspiration and empowerment in much the same way he once did.
Benny founded the non-profit Northern Uganda Hiphop Culture (NUHC), an organization dedicated to empowering and inspiring youth through rap, break-dancing, and graffiti. Working in collaboration with Peace Corps volunteer, Leah Walkowski, NUHC is currently operating in the Kitgum township and surrounding areas.
In their newest outreach initiative, Leah and Benny are mobilizing NUHC in an effort to reach previously inaccessible youths in prisons, orphanages, and rural communities with their message of creativity, hope, and inspiration. Planned outreach efforts at various institutions and communities include performances by NUHC members, education sessions on topics such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, or WASH, and lessons on rap, break-dancing, and graffiti.
Ultimately, through NUHC's outreach initiative, Leah and Benny hope to dispel common misconceptions about hip-hop culture whilst showing Ugandan youth and their communities new, powerful means of community building, self-expression, and empowerment.
Funding from The Pollination Project will be used for the purchase of outreach equipment such as mobile speakers and musical instruments.
For more information, please visit NUHC's Facebook page.
GRANT AWARD DATE: March 19, 2015

Hi y'all!
Cheers to a brand new year!!
2014 has been a challenging yet a very rewarding year for me, and if not for most of us. I sincerely hope that 2015 will open more doors in our lives, and will have us enter more rooms to become even better versions of ourselves.
As for my first year in blogging, I know that there is a lot to improve (trust me, I'm working on it) and I really hope that I can share more stories and more adventures with you guys this year.
From the looks of it, January 2015 will be a jam-packed month. The Holy Father will be visiting the country in two weeks' time and I pray that his visit will help everyone of us as we wade through this year. Another thing is, my 2nd semester in school starts in 3 days (!!!) and I promised myself to work harder so that the benefits I'll reap from doing great in my endeavors will be seriously rewarding.
Let's make our hopes our goals. This is a brand new start.
Marla 🙂

- a) Reflective Listening lessons learnt include: when you reiterate what the other person says, it lets them hear what their point was, and how clearly their point was communicated, in this case my partner added more points to reinforce her point of view. It enables both parties to be on the same page, and also promote new ideas and themes.
b) Defamiliarisation of everyday reality was interesting in that a new fresh view of the environment was established, and every part of the experience that was interactive (eg the voice, the door sounds, the sound of the train starting and stopping) could be assessed without bias. Eg the door closing sound without knowing what it is, seemed to indicate urgency and immediate action being required (that is entering or exiting the train)
c) Empathic modeling was similar, in that a fresh look at interaction was undertaken, and things that weren't noticable before were key factors in identifying what things were and how interaction should take place. For example, illumination played a key role in identifying how to operate the vending machines. Contrast between colours such as the red fire hose sign was recognisable even though the text wasn't. Stairwells were very difficult to navigate and even recognise as accessible for walking in. This exercise enabled us to empathise with users of infrastructure who may be visually impaired, and to appreciate the design queues that make their lives easier (or understand the ones that make them harder).

As a human being, be an eco-friendly person. Do stuff that helps the environment and minimizes damage to it. Here's a few things I personally do:
1. Walk to and from work and home
2. Take public transportation
3. Always use a reusable bag for shopping or place it in my handbag or hand carry them, when possible
4. Print back-to-back
5. Buy in bulk to minimize plastic packaging
6. Reuse bottles, containers, boxes etc
7. Minimal shopping of new things
8. Sell/ donate old stuff
9. For coffee drinkers, maximize reusable cup sleeves
What else can you suggest?

So I've always had a very negative self-image. In fact, I never thought I'd get married because I was too ugly. I just didn't think anyone would want to marry me, because I didn't fit the mold of tall and thin that seemed to be the ideal. Also, growing up in Christian Fundamentalism, we weren't supposed to focus on external beauty anyway, since we were supposed to be "beautiful on the inside."
I took those messages pretty seriously (probably too seriously) and figured that if people told me it didn't matter what I looked like, well, then, it didn't matter (yes, I took things literally as a child, why do you ask?). Most of the time, I didn't wear makeup, I didn't bother doing much with my hair, and my clothes were pretty atrocious. But I knew that Jesus looked on the inside, so I tried to tell myself that I didn't care.
But I did care.
I was surrounded by other young women who looked gorgeous doing the back-to-nature thing. No makeup, no hairstyling, and they looked wonderful. The men who visited our church paid them lots of attention and compliments. I didn't get compliments. People told me they thought I'd be a great nun. I was the ugly duckling in a pond of swans.
And then I went off to the convents where clothes/beauty REALLY didn't matter and where, sometimes, I wasn't even able to take a shower for long periods of time. I tried not to care, I really did. The mirrors were all covered at those places, and I tried not to sneak peeks of myself in the windows of buildings. I had to wear super modest clothes and headcoverings, so I stopped paying attention to my body at all. I just had to pray, pray, pray and work like crazy too (and pray while I was working). I had to eat whatever was put in front of me, so hunger/fullness wasn't an issue and my clothes were so baggy that any gain or loss of weight went completely unnoticed by me.
Since living in a convent sucked giant monkey balls, I left. I felt relief and gratitude that I was free, but I had no idea how to dress myself. My previous shopping method of going to Goodwill and grabbing whatever was baggiest and most modest wasn't really working any more. But real shopping,the kind where you go to the mall and try stuff on and spend money? That took time!! And then I still had to figure out the hair and the makeup and the shoes and and and. So I spent the time, and the money, and I still felt ugly. I still felt like I was doing it wrong.
And then I started taking a good hard look at the women around me, at school and at work. I started noticing that even the prettiest of women, if you looked really closely, looked kind of ordinary. Under the hairstyle, or the carefully-applied makeup, or the manicured nails, they didn't look as perfect as I thought they did. They looked...kind of like me.
So I started seeing beauty as something I could *do* rather than something that one *had* (or didn't have, in my case). I viewed it as a mask, in a way - that if I could put the mask on just right, I could pass for pretty and no one would notice that I'm not.
So that's what I've done for a while now, but I'm not sure that's working for me any more. I'd like my outsides to match my insides - so if I'm feeling pretty, or sexy, or saucy, I'd like to be able to show that through my clothes and my style. Somehow, viewing clothing and makeup as decoration has made it more fun and less stressful to dress and present myself. I've recently found a way to do my hair that I like (after 29.8 years of fighting it), so that's a step in the right direction, I think. Otherwise, I'm still a work in progress, and that's okay for now.

I went to Reno-Tahoe WordCamp yesterday and had a glorious day of nerdiness. It was such an amazing day with awesome presentations. Going into it, I thought, I sure hope this is worth my Saturday. And it was. Tenfold.
I'm a nerd, a geek, a dork. I've embraced it. I love learning, being challenged, talking about science and code. Yep, I'm pretty much awesome. But not quite as awesome as some of the people that I met yesterday. In my office I am hands down the nerdiest person. I once freaked out on the Marketing Director for not knowing who Nikola Tesla is. What? You don't know who he is either. Read this. Immediately.
Yesterday, I felt like a novice. In a room of people my age (some younger, a handful older), I pulled out my mini legal notepad to scribble down everything while a lot of the folks around me pulled out Macs, PCs, and iPhones.
Ummm, A) I have a hand-me-down ThinkPad because the technology Gods have not smiled upon me yet (for fear of people asking me what antique store I purchased it at I will not bring it out in public) and B) I still believe in writing (Ms. Handt, my third grade teacher, didn't teach me cursive for nothing).
I'm not going to apologize for this since I've always claimed to be a hybrid. Not a complete web geek. Not a complete snobby marketing person. I'm a little of both. I like trouble shooting code and buying shoes (preferably not at the same time, too much to focus on).
The high I felt yesterday after leaving WordCamp was awesome. Part of me would like to become a WordCamp groupie and follow these around the world. It made me feel connected and excited, part of a community and stoked to go out to the real world and apply everything I had learned.
After a day of having my mind blown, Travis and I had dinner with some friends at Jazz. The food is good, the service is good and if you go make sure to try the Beniets. They are awesome.
I can't wait to start on the redesign of The Durtty Bride.
Later gators!

So, of course this old stove with the door stuck halfway open and a 'Happy Cooking' emblem caught my eye at a yard sale. Caught my eye as in triple take and double back. It was the same yard sale we found our claw foot tub and antique sink at: an old country inn was changing hands. Some yard sales are gold. Anyway...
We'd laid down some money at this sale, and in the interest of common sense/thriftiness, I offered the yard sale ladies $50 for it (they were asking $100). I wasn't sure I'd be able to overcome the door issue, and no one could guarantee it worked overall. They said they would let me know at the close of sale. I later got a call informing me the stove was mine for $50 and was elated.
The door issue was a head scratcher. I removed both doors, took them apart to inspect the hinges, attachments, etc., and put them back together none the wiser. An internet search led me to an old appliance maintenance website: antiquestoves.com.
I ordered a stove repair booklet from the site, with the promise that included with the booklet was unlimited follow-up advice. They carry parts for numerous popular brands of antique stoves (and have an Ebay store). Mine was made by Hardwick Stove Co. and they didn't have anything for my brand/model handy, so the repair took some work-shopping.
The booklet convinced me my issue was with the door springs. I emailed pictures and measurements to the stove repair expert. (This was kind of like dealing with the Wizard of Oz; the emails were always unsigned, so I can only assume I was speaking with The Stove Repair Expert.) He said my springs were a size he hadn't seen before, and I spent nearly as much as I paid for the stove ordering a range of potential springs from an industrial spring company that has a minimum order requirement.
Those springs arrived and I replaced the old with new and the door seemed even worse. I sent the strove repair guy more pictures of the original springs. Finally he emailed me with "The smaller spring looks like someone tried to make this work and is not the right one. Hard to say without being there so check the other side(s) if you can." The spring on the other side was huge by comparison. It looked so heavy duty and immovable I hadn't even worried about replacing it. I'd concerned myself solely its sad, bent, rusting little counterpart.
It never occurred to me the whole thing was a jerry-rigged repair, and the springs on either side of the door should, of course, be a matching pair. I felt kind of silly, but relieved. Now all I had to do was measure the space the springs spanned, and figure out what size they should have been. I tried some out via the stove repair website. It turns out an old Tappan stove part fits my Hardwick.
The door closed with its new springs in place. I did some cosmetic touch-ups; polishing the chrome with metal polish and repainting the black areas. I removed the burner grates and coated them with Rustoleum 'High Heat Ultra' spray paint, designed to withstand temperatures up to 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. I taped off the bottom of the stove and gave the black base the same treatment.
We hooked it up and it worked great. My mother talked me into getting a carbon monoxide detector when I told her we had just installed a recently revived antique and planned to cook on it. It passed its carbon monoxide test with flying colors.
We took to it straight away, with its sturdy retro charm and chic blue flame. We can cook side by side and not elbow each other! It was immediately comfy to use and cozy to behold. This was the first change we made to our kitchen, before our renovation started proper.
And what's more, reassuringly, this stove is cat-approved.
|Bear the cat gives his stamp of approval.

Ah the wonder of UK phukkwitics. On the one hand you've got RCE/TA branded bitchsteers and cowboys, on the other the local hero of the scum. A eunuch.
When a bunch of neo-Nazis and antisemites threatened to march in Golders Green a few months ago, a wide campaign was organised to stop them with a counter-demonstration. Only one of the current candidates for the Labour Party leadership sent a message of support to the counter-demonstrators.
Jeremy Corbyn, MP.
Yet this same Jeremy Corbyn has been the target of an ugly smear campaign attempting to brand him an enemy of Jewish people, by means of contrived "association" with antisemites. As Corbyn moved from outsider to a favourite to win, addressing huge rallies of supporters, one Jewish newspaper even claimed Jews in Britain "feared" what might happen if he became leader of the Labour Party.
