Tomorrow marks the
beginning of our kitchen makeover. We have been planning and thinking this over probably as long as we have lived in this house (2.5 yrs) but haven't gotten around to getting it done. We have decided to go with an IKEA kitchen and have visited twice to design the layout. So this is the breakdown of hopefully just the to do list and not my sanity (with two kids and no kitchen) of how our kitchen is going to happen.
clear out kitchen
setup temporary kitchen
block off kitchen to the Babes
tear out cabinets, counters and floor
•jack up floor and insulate
•paint walls and ceiling
lay laminate
•assemble cabinets
•install cabinets and sink
•install hardware
•replace window treatments
•upgrade and beautify pantry
•buy new microwave and fridge
•remove a section of the wall opening the room to the dining room
•make desk area
•bar area?
I think that is it but I'm sure there is something I'm forgetting on my list. So here is to hopefully around two weeks of chaos. Be sure to check back for the before and after photos and a rundown on the craziness that I am sure will take place!
So in the week that we have started our work on the kitchen we have moved everything out, set up a temporary kitchen and removed all the cabinets and flooring in the kitchen. We ran into a few more problems than what we had expected but with this house it happens. So now we just need to get everything from IKEA and get down to the fun stuff.

On film, she'll be 16 forever, but Molly Ringwald is now a 43-year-old mother of three, with all the attendant joys and challenges — like trying to explain, to a 7-year-old, why her "Sixteen Candles" character gave "a geek" her underwear.
"My daughter saw that on a poster and asked me what that meant, and I hemmed and hawed," the redhead says. "Then she said, 'Did he just want people to think you liked him?' It was so right on that we watched the movie. I forgot how many bad words were in it!" Strange but true: Ringwald, an avid reader and writer — her advice book, "Getting the Pretty Back," is now out in paperback — once reviewed books for the Hartford Courant. Here's what's in her library.
— by Barbara Hoffman
The Counterlife
by Philip Roth
People ask me, if I could have dinner with anyone in the world, who would it be, and I say, "Philip Roth." He's written so many incredibly provocative, intelligent books that it was hard to choose just one. This is his most post-modern book. What grabs me is the idea of a character who lives all these different lives. We always wonder what our lives would be like if we made different choices.
Raymond Carver
Collected Stories
This has everything — the original stories that were published and edited by Gordon Lish, and the stories as Carver wrote them. They're not that different, I think. I read these as a teenager, and they really, really spoke to me — they've been an enormous influence. He created incredible characters, and they don't get any less amazing when you go back and read them years later.
by Norman Rush
This was recommended to me by my husband, then boyfriend. It's about a woman who's in Africa writing a thesis who becomes intrigued with an intellectual and decides to cross the desert to seduce him. It's a novel of ideas and philosophies, and it's fascinating. Oh, and the woman is a redhead!
New and Selected Poems: Volume 1
by Mary Oliver
I've never read anyone who writes about the natural world in such a beautiful and accessible way. I used to do a lot of gardening before I had three kids — it was a way to feel calm and connected. I don't have the opportunity to do that now, but when I read Oliver's poems, I have the feeling of having my hands in nice, loamy earth. Sometimes, after a stressful day, my husband and I will sit in bed and share poems.

Foxy pretty much wears the same thing to daycare everyday- pants and a shirt. I like to keep her legs covered so they don't get cold. Her clothes are nice. Mostly from Carter's and Target so she never looks like a scrub.
This morning as I dropped her off I noticed that the babies were looking particularly dapper for a Friday. Then I remembered it was picture day. Crap. Sure she was clean and clothed, but certainly not good enough for picture day. I hadn't even brushed her hair straight.
I contemplated going back to the house and getting a dress for her to wear, but I knew I had just had her pictures taken the day before (complete with wardrobe changes) so it was really no big deal. There was just one problem…
The other parents don't know Foxy had her pics taken the day before. I don't want anyone thinking I'm the bad mom who doesn't dress her child properly for picture day!
So I went back home and grabbed the cutest dress I could find. Okay, really I didn't. I had to get to work!
I was telling a coworker about this morning and he said something very profound…
"Babs, here's something you need to know now that you have a child in daycare. On any given day someone has to be the bad parent. Today was your turn."

Stupid Weather, Jordan 1st, and Related Crap
I absolutly can't stand the winters in Jordan (and the Summers and every season for that matter). It's just way too cold. And not any kind of cold its the total bone chilling cold. Where no matter how hard you try to get warm once the cold has hit your bones your a goner. I just don't see how people can stand this kind of weather. It's not the nice cold weather that could be found everywhere else. The houses are made so wrong that its freezing as a tomb inside when the sun is shinning outside (though it is cold oustide as well it's not as cold as indoors). What happened to insulation? I think it never got introduced to people's vocabulary here.
Last winter was the best we ever had here because we lived in one of the best built buildings in Amman (my opinion). It was never cold in our apartment but of course my parents had to get divorced and of course my dad wasn't willing to let us stay in the apartment since it was his. So we had to move out (all of us who decided to stay with our mother…which is just about all of us). So right now I'm writing this with freezing fingers (because no matter how high you put the heaters or how many layers of clothing you wear, once the cold has gotten to your bones there is no way you are going to be able to get rid of it).
Why can't people here be a little more civilized and care about stuff like this; simple things that come naturally to other people like insulation, safety, and caring for ones well being? The people here could do so much if they only tried. But they are lazy self concieted selfish people (well most of them are including the ones who can make a difference). I just don't understand how the people here can be so brainwashed and believe that their country is 'numbre une' (or is it 'un'?).
It's sickening how patriotic people are here when they recieve nothing for their loyalty. Absolutly nothing. They are so quick to defend what a great country and nation they are but how can they not see the truth? How can they not see that their country is a garbage pit because they made it that way? How can they be so patriotic when more than half the population is under the poverty line (way under) and the country isn't doing anything to help them out. And if they are its not enough.
I just want to scream at them. To wake them up from their stupor but they don't want to wake up. Everyone here is perfectly content in their misfortunes. Everyone is too busy trying to figure out where their next bite of bread is going to come from that they don't have time to think of anything else. No wonder this country is a disaster that has already erupted but no one took any heed. Everyone here is like robots…mechanical and scheduled.
Ahh this country reeks of brainwash…
19 Responses to "Stupid Weather, Jordan 1st, and Related Crap"
Might I add to the brainwashing idea. The prices of fuels, heating and others, keep going up. Seems like a great system, once or twice a year, and with that everything else goes up too. And the kicker is that no one says anything. Did someone say this was a third world country? With prices like these I would expect it to be a developed country. But hey! where can you live and the price of bread and chicken are higher than the States? Where can you live and you choose food over freezing cuz you cant afford diesel anymore. At least in the States, you can get government assistance with food, heating, and medical. Yes, Jordan is the place you can live knowing that Jordan is First (al urdan al owel). Whoops! Maybe they meant first in high prices and cost of living!! No need to worry, you aint freezing by yourself!!
is it cold in Petra in March? i will be there during the first 2 weeks of March and am trying to figure out what is best to wear. how should i dress as not to offend? -thank you
Jordan First is not saying that Jordan is the best country in the world. Not at all. It is just about putting your own nation ahead of any other nation, that is, putting Jordan first. Nationalism, or patriotism, is necessary in modern times because it ties people together.
When is it bad weather why do people get insane???
I have noticed , that anytime it rains, or there is a freeze, the public panics, rushes out to the stores and buy up all the
bottled water, batteries, flash lights, firelogs, and canned food. Why is this. You would think people that have been through
this kinda weather before would understand that it will not last more than a day or two at the most.
Another thing I have noticed is when it rains that all the dumb people again get on the roads and cause wrecks and everything
What is wrong with the people? I would really like to know.
I tell everyone who doesn't like Jordan …..fuck offf…and leave 'cause this countery is ours and for people like you . go live in hell it's better for you . what did you offer to this country when to help if you have seen a lot problems…???? you're the selfish
am a native Jordanian guy and proud of it but,u might have misunderstood the meaning of JORDAN 1st ,the meaning of it is that we must remove the racism of our believes,coz this country has many nationalities living in it,and they all fighting each other among stupid things,so this slogan has a meaningful content regardless the misusing it by a group of people.
thank for your time in writing,but u should have thought through it before generalizing and saying those hurtful words.
ok dragonsvamp,may i ask u from where r u?
aha,so may i know from where did u finish ur highschool?!
nothing just asking, actually i liked ur opinions and the way u think, butsorry if am bothering!
naaah,so… how can i get to know u better?
no i didnt understand it that way,but i didnt get it,how can i figure it out by myself?!

I would highly recommend Dolce Studio if you are looking for a great videographer! I knew I wanted to have a video from our wedding, but was a little hesitant because I normally feel very uncomfortable in front of the camera. We had Erin as our videographer and a lot of the times I did not even realize she was taping. It was not until I saw the video that I realized how great she was at capturing all of the special moments and details from the day. She was fantastic to work with and not one of those annoying vendors that is always in the way. She blended into the crowd and I couldn't believe all of the things she was able to capture, especially since it was just her. For the editing, we worked with Shayna, who was just as great to work with. I had a very specific idea of how I wanted my video to flow (I choose the Little Black Dress package since I basically just wanted the 15 minute highlight video) and Shayna took all my ideas into account when editing the film. It came out even better than I was hoping. I can't thank everyone at Dolce enough for putting together such a great video of our wedding!
Absolutely wonderful to work with. Haynal met with me prior to the wedding to walk through how the day would go. Our videographer, Mat, was prompt, professional, and very unobtrusive. My grandmother is 96 and was unable to attend the wedding, but said after watching our video that she felt as though she had be there for the whole thing. Recommend.

This studio was extremely easy to work with. They were very professional, and offered flexible payment options. the videographer they sent to our wedding was friendly, nice and professional. We haven't received the final product yet, but they have done work for other couples we know and their videos are stunning. Cant wait to see ours!
We had a wonderful experience with Dolce Studio Films for our wedding videography. Haynal was responsive and addressed any questions I had in the weeks leading up to our wedding. She even called a few days prior to our big day to make sure there were no last-minute concerns or issues that needed to be handled. Our videographer, Mat, was fantastic! He also called and introduced himself to us a few days prior to our wedding. On our wedding day, he was very friendly and down-to-earth, professional and discreet. He was careful to stay in the background, and I didn't even notice him at all during the entire ceremony. He also did an incredible job editing our wedding film, and my husband and I were thrilled with the results! We have watched it numerous times, and never get tired of seeing all the love and beauty that was so perfectly captured on our special day. We would highly recommend Dolce Studio Films to anyone who is looking to preserve their special memories forever on film. There are various videography packages to choose from, suiting most any budget. Definitely give them a call or send them an e-mail! You won't regret it.

Dolce Studio Films exceeded all my expectations and delivered a beautiful, genuine, and joyous video of my daughter's early November wedding. It was a last-minute decision to hire a videographer, and fortunately Dolce had one available for the date. Haynal provided excellent service and was very responsive to me, communicating instructions, options and advice very clearly, with full details of what to do and what to expect, on the day of the wedding and afterwards. Our videographer, Natasha, was wonderful. She was really nice to have around, at the church and the reception, yet we hardly knew she was there. All of the filming was done very unobtrusively, as promised. Natasha was very understanding of our requests and easy to work with. The video editor was great, too, and incorporated all our wishes and song selections. The final product was outstanding! The video truly captured the fall wedding day atmosphere and happiness, and made everyone look lovely, most especially the bride! Watching the video made us smile, laugh, and get teary-eyed all at once.

Weekly craft update
This week was not especially crafty. I'm knackered and my planned holiday last week went legs up when other people at work decided that their needs are more important than mine. I would not have been able to enjoy my time off if I had left Marie on her own in the office without the ability to have a break, get the mail or even do a bank run. Yea yea, I'm a sucker and should have just taken it as I booked 3 months ago before anyone else even considered it but I am just not that type of person. Oh well. I have 6 weeks leave owing so when I die of exhaustion then at least my funeral costs are covered with the holiday payout.
I got a little, and I do mean a little, cross stitching done on Nat's cushion.
I also knitted the same square twice but made huge errors in it so have unravelled it for the 3rd time and started again. I can only blame knackeredness and drinking Chardonnay while knitting. Possibly not the best combination really haha.
So that was my limit for last week. Might try that break idea again for next week. Will see how this one rolls as we are getting closer to Christmas and taking time off before seems a little silly when I have a week off during our shut period, but I kinda need to focus a little better on these Christmas things. And sleep of course.
This weeks planned achievements:
- Turn the elephant and dragon stitches into cushions
- Finish Natalies cushion cover
- Knit 2 squares for patchwork blanket
- Finish transcribing GG's war diary
Last weeks planned achievements:
- Turn the elephant and dragon stitches into cushions – Nope
- Finish Natalies cushion cover – Nope
- Knit 2 squares for patchwork blanket – Nope
- Finish transcribing GG's war diary – Nope
Christmas Homemade List Progression:
- Kayla: Elephant cushion – Elephant stitched. Need to turn into cushion
- Levi: Photo/scrapbook page of him with Nana Fay – Must track down a decent photo first up.
- Jordyn: Dream catcher – Had a practice run which am giving to a friend for her birthday. Second attempt coming up soon
- Veronica: Knitted bunny? Maybe not?
- Natalie: Scary Movie cushion – Have pillowcase and waste fabric. She also wants a small stitch for her favourite band – not started.
- Ralph: Stencil art? – Find something
Jamie: Photo with beach boarder – Completed
- Lunam Family Christmas: Dragon cushion – Stitched, just need to cushion it.
- Dad & Siblings: Memory stick of Great Grandad's war diary's and postcards – Have 6 memory sticks. All has been scanned. Need individual boxes with quick note inside to explain what is on the stick. Am about 1/3 of the way through Word document to translate the diary.
- Tash: Cross stitch photo – Finish it! Not going to happen I feel but worth a shot.
- Marie & Margaret – Make wine glass candles for them both
- The bosses – BBQ Gift basket – Make the rubs and possibly a couple of sauces? Jack Daniels?
- Neighbours – Pistachio & lemon shortbread

Hey, hey, hey!
Good to hear from you!
I'm glad you loved all the videos! I mean . . . c'mon . . . you gotta love all of 'em . . .
Well, as for me . . . I have some very cool pictures that I'll be showin' you all when I get home! Last Monday, just my Companion and I went to Tikal. Elmer let us in free, took us into some secret tunnel, bought our bus ride home and bought us lunch! It was really, really nice of him. To get to the tunnel, though, we had to take a path that they almost never take . . . LOL . . . The path was actually invisible because it was covered in trees and brush and fallen trees because they really never go there and it is off limits to everyone. Sooooo . . . We took a chain saw and a machete and our hands and went to work to clean the trail and get to the tunnel. Once there, we had to un-nail the cover to the cover to the tunnel and climb way down in where there was no light! LOL! You should have seen the size of those spiders and cockroaches! Ahhhhhhhh! Gross! The only light was the flash of our cameras! There were really cool Mayan paintings down there, though . . . They were very good artists. The wall they drew on was so far down because, supposedly, that wall belonged to a king. When they killed him, they buried that whole level of land and then the next king had his own new level of land, and when he died they buried everything and so forth . . . It was pretty cool . . .
This week, I had one of the coolest lessons of my whole Mission. We went to Las Cruces on Divisons and we found a kid that just got back to Guatemala from St. George, Utah . . . LOL . . . Random, right? He lived in St. George the past 12 years and isn't a member. I taught him the first lesson in English (the Restoration) and it was soooo, soooo special. I honestly got the chills teaching in English . . . LOL . . . I can't wait to be home and share the Gospel in my own language.
My pants were crusty this week . . . Lots of sweat . . .
Oh . . . Talkin' about clothes . . . What clothes do you want me to bring home? My pants? Shirts? Socks? Bed sheets? I feel like everything is pretty beat up, but lemme know what you think . . . I dunno if you think Dylan will want to use some. Lemme know . . . Hee, hee!
Well . . . I gotta bounce! We have early lessons today . . . I love you all! Take care! See you soon!

Hey, great news: US housing prices are NOT in a bubble. Oh, except here in Southern California, where they are. Trulia's Bubble Watch report, out today, relies on a lot of crazy-sounding concepts like "fundamental value" and "undervalued," but then housing prices and bubbles and money are all just inventions based on shared delusions anyway and what are we talking about again? Disorienting terminology aside, the report at least makes some comparisons that can tell us something–it looks at "the price-to-income ratio, the price-to-rent ratio, and prices relative to their long-term trends, using multiple data sources." So if houses are going for a lot more than what those numbers might predict, Trulia declares a bubble; a lot less, no bubble. Nationwide, housing prices are four percent under what Trulia thinks they should be, so there's no bubble (compare to 39 percent above at the beginning of 2006 and 13 percent below at the end of last year). But in Los Angeles County, prices are 12 percent above where Trulia thinks they should be. BUBBLE. Of the 100 largest metro areas, LA is second most bubbly only to Orange County, which is 13 percent above.
While mortgages are tougher to get and housing supplies are a lot lower than they were during the mega mid-aughts bubble, LA home prices have been shooting up over the last year or so (largely due, in fact, to the short supply). While prices are now leveling off a bit, according to the October 2013 numbers from DataQuick, they were still up 24.6 percent from last October.

Out of curiosity, I tried my Vale of Tears dream on my old Dreams book. It says various mixed-up things about clear rivers, calm rivers, rough rivers… but apparently a muddy, yellowish river means you will be wealthy beyond your dreams. In my dream I had a very clear, turbulent river, with people (banks?) asking for help from others who were also asking for help, and not receiving it… but the muddy Mississippi dived into it and offered warmth and protection. I think of a dirty brown river as being more threatening than a fresh clear one, so it's strange that both my dream and the dream book saw it as a positive thing.
As before, it makes me wonder what other people have dreamed and why certain interpretations are made.
Oh, yes, and I looked up Elves in the dream book. It says "This is a very fortunate dream, as it shows the little people are friendly."
Well I had a nice elvish dream with muddy gold rivers. How about you?


text: Hey guys, Pretty new to this stuff; used to just sell on ebay but now the idea of running a website seems much more profitable! Basically I took the idea that I found on this forum of purchasing gigs on fiverr and then reselling them on my website (which I have just created). How can I drive targeted traffic to this site in 2015? I know this is quite a broad question but i'm still new to the whole SEO thing. I am aware of methods such as scrapebox and adwords, but which shall I use? I had the idea of making a load of fb accounts and joining relevant groups to post my link there. Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance, Bryn

A production sale from Gail Ellis' Trencrom herd of British Blues led the prices at Newark's British Blue day on Saturday (25th March), with bumper entries of both pedigree and commercial British Blue sired cattle and prime and cull sheep making it once again Super Saturday at Newark.
Auctioneer Paul Gentry said the ringside was packed from the beginning to the end of the sale, with buyers from across the country present. "Both pedigree and commercial buyers were out in force, with prices reflecting both the quality of the cattle on offer and the eagerness of buyers.
"I'd like to thank all our vendors for putting forward such an excellent show of cattle, but particularly Gail Ellis and family for their draft from the Trencrom herd and also the Baldwin family for their annual consignment of British Blue sired suckled calves."
Leading the trade was a 6500gns call for Gail Ellis' maiden heifer Trencrom K Factor., a January 2015-born Boherard Cantona daughter out of Trencrom Ex Factor, a Bringlee Blackstar daughter. Bred from a naturally calving line, she was the pick of Messrs Todd, Wragby, Lincolnshire.
Second best among the maiden heifers was a 4000gns sale for Trencrom Kalypso from the same home. This Phenomene De Martinpre daughter is an ET bred maternal sister to the sale topper and sold to Messrs Boocock and Son, Stamford Bridge, East Yorkshire.
Then making 3800gns was Trencrom Kentish Glory, a Meadowview Blues Fudge daughter out of Trencrom Gypsy Moth, a New Close Colonel daughter. This one was knocked down to Messrs Potter, Stratford Upon Avon, Warwickshire.
At the same money was Trencrom Kotton Kandy, a September 2015-born Mannequin De Sberchamps daughter out of Boroside Glenda, a Jackpot 9831 Et Ter Reybroeck daughter. She was bought by S and S Hough, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.
And then making 3500gns was Trencrom Kween Bee, a Pinnacle Fists daughter out of Trencrom Elizabeth 1st, herself by the noted Empire D'Ochain. This one found a new home with J and S Ward, Frome, Somerset.
British Blue bulls sold to a top of 5000gns for Trencrom Kronenborg, again from Gail Ellis' Cornwall-based Trencrom herd. This Littlebank Gigolo son is out of Denby Ebony, a Ballygrange Alex daughter and sold to W H Farrow and Sons, Alford, Lincolnshire.
A pair then made 3500gns, with the first being Katie Allen's Woodseat Kaiser Chief, a Ridge Dean Dictator son out of Ridge Dean Esther, a Heros Du Peroy daughter. This one found a new home with A J Smith Farming, Nash, Buckinghamshire.
The second to make this money was Angela Falkingham and Diane Hill's Tweeddale Kurt. Bred by Messrs Redhead and Watson, this Tweeddale Hebony son is out of Tweeddale Gabriella, a Visconti De St Fontaine daughter. He was bought by the Layton family, Leominster, Herefordshire.
Following that at 3400gns was Nigel Pritchard's Norton Juggernaut, a Brown Clee Frazier son out of Norton Alpine, a Baron Du Bois Bauloye daughter. This May 2014-born bull was used commercially last year and sold to S F and J H Wagstaff, Rugby, Warwickshire.
Cows and Calves
Pedigree British Blue cows and calves peaked at 2500gns for Lark Valley Hazel from Robert Brittain. This ET bred 2012-born cow is by Hazelwood Freshman out of Ridge Dean Supreme, an Inexes De La Croix De Mer daughter. Sold with a crossbred steer calf at foot this third calver was bought by Gail Ellis, St Ives, Cornwall.
Meanwhile, a run of pedigree Limousin cows with British Blue sired calves at foot sold to a peak of 3100gns for the Hazard family, Grantham, Lincolnshire. Topping this consignment was Mereside Hotlips, a Haltcliffe Dancer daughter out of an Obus-sired dam. She sold with a Blue sired bull calf at foot and having been served by Mereside Jackal and was bought by Andrew and Becky Bishop, Eldersfield, Gloucestershire.
Next best among this offering were a brace of 3000gns calls, with the first being for Mereside Gertrude, a Bolide daughter out of another Obus daughter. This fourth calver sold with a British Blue corss bull calf at foot and having been AI'd to another Blue sire. She sold to R B Ingamells, Grantham, Lincolnshire.
The other at this level was Mereside Hevienne, a Dormeur daughter out of a dam by Bloomben. She sold with a Blue cross heifer calf at foot and back in calf to a Blue again and was taken by J Gowthorpe, North Cliff, York.
Then selling for 2800gns was Mereside Hyacinth, a Procters Borrins daughter out of an Obus-sired dam. This one sold with a Blue cross bull calf at foot and back in calf to Mereside Jackal. She was bought by Bainbridge Bros, Richmond, North Yorkshire.
Commercial cattle
British Blue sired commercial cattle also met a flying demand, with a number of large consignments well bid for, including the Baldwin family's annual offering of just shy of 100 British Blue crosses from their Wigan-based suckler herd.
Topping this consignment was a £3000 call for a British Blue cross heifer, with steers peaking at £1500. Overall 55 heifers from the Baldwins levelled at £1356.63, while their 44 steers averaged out at £1156.
Local vendor Chall Parsons also enjoyed a good trade for his 28 Blue cross steers, with these hitting a high of £1100 and averaging £890.
The Bates family's trip from Kent was well rewarded too, with their Limousin cross steers peaking at £1180, with heifers from the same home topping at the same money and the entire consignment of 93 averaging through at £965.27.
The Ellis family, Cornwall, sold Blue cross heifers to a top of £1340, with 19 averaging £1121.05 and East Sussex vendor Andrew Holt sold Limousin cross Blue steers to a high of £1010, with heifers from the same home making £940.
Another East Sussex vendor, Messrs Keeley and Hobden then sold Limousin x Blue heifers to £1100, with their steers making up to £1030.
More local vendors were also in the mix, with Robert Hutchinson selling Limousin x Blue steers to a top of £1800 and Lincoln-based Phil and Sharon Sellers selling a Limousin cross heifer at £2200.
Derbyshire-based G G Buckston then sold 44 pure Limouins bulls to a top of 1210 and to level at £1085.23, with Paul Dawes, Herefordshire, selling Limousin x Blue steers to £1150.
And the Gascoine Broup sold 21 month old Limousin heifers to £1300, with younger heifers making up to £1020 and Limousin cross steers selling to £1080. The same vendors sold Saler x Limousin steers to £1040 at 10 months old, while Andrew and Becky Bishop, Gloucestershire, sold a 17 month old Limousin x Blue heifer at £2400.
And Oxfordshire-based Smiths of Bloxham sold Blue x Limousin steers to £1150 at 12 months old, with similarly bred heifers making £1280 at the same age.
Paul Gentry said a number of volume buyers were active across the commercial entry, seeking out top quality cattle for both finishing and also for retention as suckler females. "Trade was electric throughout and without doubt some potential buyers left disappointed having been unable to secure the cattle they were wanting."
A bumper entry in the sheep pens saw more than 5000 head traded, with the prime and cull trades rewarding those with quality sheep to sell.
Prime hoggs peaked at £116 for 63kg Texels from Phil Weaver, with Martin Greenfield close behind with more 54kg Texels at £111.
The 1841 SQQ qualifying hoggs levelled the day at 194.18p/kg while the total entry of 3937 levelled through at 185.11p/kg, with export lambs commanding a clear premium above the rest of the entry. Top prices/kg included Beltex crosses from A J Holt at 33kg making 248p/kg and 45kg Beltex crosses from Chris Sargent making 240p/kg.
In the cull ewes an improved entry saw just shy of 1600 cull ewes and rams penned. All qualities some £10 a head dearer. Top price went to Phil Weaver who sold Texels to £157, Suffolk ewes were good to sell topping at £128, while Mules sold to £87. Overall ewes averaged £90.20, while rams settled at £86.22.
Averages; Eight British Blue bulls £3307.50, two British Blue cows and calves £2257.50, six British Blue maiden heifers £3780, eight Limousin cows with British Blue calves £2874.37 (Newark Livestock Sales).

State foots $114,000 bill for wind study
FAIRHAVEN – While an agreement for the construction of two wind turbines in town is yet to be finalized, the state is paying for one more study required by the project.
The Massachusetts Technology Collaborative is providing $114,000 for an electrical interconnection study of the Fairhaven project, said Sen. Mark C.W. Montigny, D-New Bedford, on Tuesday.
The study will determine how to connect the two 1.65-megawatt turbines to the waste-water treatment plant off Arsene Street, Town Secretary Jeffrey W. Osuch said.
The MTC will hire a consultant to conduct the study, provide technical support contracting and construction oversight.
A controversial Town Meeting on May 15 voted to allow the town's Board of Selectmen to enter into a 25-year lease with private developer CCI Energy for the installation of two 396-foot wind turbines on town-owned land near Little Bay.
Mr. Osuch said Tuesday the town and CCI intend to sign a final agreement by the end of July. The more than 30-page agreement is still undergoing several revisions that were expected to be finalized soon, Mr. Osuch said.
Under the agreement, the town would lease land on Little Bay to CCI to install the $7 million turbines. CCI still needs to clear all the local, state and federal permitting hurdles before it can assemble the turbines.
The company plans to sell part of the electricity produced by the turbines to the town at wholesale price to help power the water treatment plant. The town stands to save at least $50,000 year in electricity costs and receive $100,000 a year in royalties and taxes.
If erected, the turbines would be the largest wind operation in the state.
"Combating global warming is one of the biggest issues facing our society. The steps we take today to combat excessive dependence on fossil fuels will have tremendous environmental implications for many generations to come," Sen. Montigny said.
Sen. Montigny also announced that the MTC will reserve $3.7 million for the purchase of renewable energy certificates from CCI for power produced. The certificates serve as a cash-flow incentive for small wind-project developers.
The value of the energy certificates purchase had been previously discussed at several community meetings regarding the project.

How About a Tiny Treehouse?
Thereテ「竄ャ邃「s not much we can say about the Treehouse, a.k.a. Tomテ「竄ャ邃「s Treehouse, that hasnテ「竄ャ邃「t already been said by Remodelista, DesignTripper, Travel & Leisure, Apartment Therapy, Design Bureau, The Lettered Cottage, StyleSeek, The Nate Berkus Show, The Today Show and so on. So weテ「竄ャ邃「ll just say thank you. Thank you to the many amazing designers, builders, fabricators and visionaries who toiled with us, weekend, after weekend, after weekend, on a volunteer basis, for the course of a year, to bring this from napkin sketch to mile-wide smile reality.
Square footage isnテ「竄ャ邃「t really as important as most of us make it out to be. Whatテ「竄ャ邃「s really most important is that we (that means you) get our needs met from our homes (and not much more). And yes, this also has to include the needs of our family members (if you still want to live with them, right?).
The real message behind the tiny house movement and simple living for me is being more conscious about how we live. This includes the purchasing and consumption decisions that we make but it also includes even deeper things like making goals for our lives and getting rid of the necessary テ「竄ャヒ彙aggageテ「竄ャ邃「 to get what we want.
Angela Finney-Hoffman. Tyler Peterson. Shaun Owens-Agase. Steven Teichelman. Bladon Conner. Aaron Pahmier. All who trimmed trees, hauled gear, swung hammers, shingled roofs, donated furniture, hung swings and pictures, collected antler sheds, and so on. While we donテ「竄ャ邃「t offer Tomテ「竄ャ邃「s Treehouse for rent, we are happy to let our friends and guests use it as a venue for morning coffee consumption, rainy day book reading, any day bird watching, lazy day naps and late night singalongs.
According to the 2010 Census the average size home in the US was 2,392 square feet. Back in 2007 it was 2,521 square feet. When you go back to the year 1973 on the chart, the average American home was 1660 square feet. (source)
According to this CNN article from 2013 76% of Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck. Meaning if they lost their jobs, theyテ「竄ャ邃「d pretty much be in financial ruin. So for many people the idea of a small home or even a tiny house is an incredibly smart decision.
If your tiny house will be on wheels, then in order to be able to live legally on your own land, zoning regulations must allow year round camping. This is rare. Most towns restrict camping on one's own land to 30 days; some towns prohibit it altogether. Even where it is possible to camp on your own land, it's rare to be able to get utilities.
If your tiny house will be on a slab or foundation, then to be a legal residence, it must conform to building codes and most likely, go through the permitting process. If you follow this path and build in accordance with zoning & building regulations, I recommend using a realtor to help find your land. It can be tempting to try to save money by searching for cheap land from eBay or another auction site, but buyer beware! Without a professional involved, you'll need to be extra diligent in researching for issues like back taxes, liens, hazardous waste, former meth labs (especially with burned out buildings), mineral rights, water rights, moratoriums on building due to water scarcity (mostly in CA), depth of well needed to get water (mostly in the desert), minimum lot size required to build, whether there are wetlands on the property, whether there are endangered species there that prevent building (scrub jays in Florida), whether the property is landlocked or otherwise inaccessible, whether the photos are of the actual property or just the area, zoning, what the HOA rules are, etc. This information is rarely disclosed on eBay or Craigslist.

I just noticed that someone found The Daily Wit by searching with the terms "baseball sucks poem." I'm not sure yet how I feel about the situation, but I don't think I'm happy. Let's think about this.
A man, woman maybe, sits at his computer having decided that he wants to learn about:
Obama's economic policies? No.
Global warming? No.
The real cause for the unrest in the Middle East? No.
Poetry on how baseball sucks? Ding. Ding. Ding.
"Google, bring to me the best the world has to offer on a shitty sport. And I want to read about it in verse, rhyme, and meter!"
And Google said, "Here you go. The Daily Wit. Right up your alley, nutbag. Enjoy. You two deserve each other."
I aim to please, so here's a little ditty that I wrote right off the top of my head. (Like everything else.)
Diggety doggety dang!
This game's as bland as tang.
They take forever to pitch.
The batter's box is now a ditch.
But that bat girl I'd sure like to bang.
Ok, ok, that last line was completely gratuitous, but I needed a word that rhymed with dang and tang.
To whomever performed that search, just combine my posts about Major League Baseball and A Poem In 8 Lines. You'll come away a better person.

AND ...Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sands - I remember you.
Through all the sleepless nights, through every endless day
I wanna hear you say, "I remember, I remember you!"
I remember, too, a distant bell
and stars that fell
Just like the rain out of the blue-
When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of it all
Then I will tell them I remember,
tell them I remember
Tell them I remember .... YOU

Colour depth and bold (different shades-of crimson: oak and ash Jatoba or stained inside the same shade) that is perfect for commercial decorations, practices and also other huge spots where the ground becomes a key element of the design.
Brown cozy gold and reddish wood tones is likely to make your bedroom comfortable. Bright and flooring that is dreary could make your room ample. If the ability to hide scrapes and a small dent are a must go for normal colored timber floor in matt finish. Do not forget that the shades should complement distinction and each other.

Beverly Chandler, Opalesque London: The Natixis Global Asset Management survey of global institutional investors released today showed that alternative investments are featuring more often than not in their portfolios. The firm found that seven in 10 institutional investors believe it is essential to invest in alternative investments – such as hedge funds, private equity or venture capital – to diversify portfolio risk and nearly as many believe it is essential to invest in alternative assets to outperform the broad market.
Natixis surveyed 482 institutional investors from 13 countries around the world and the median asset level of survey respondents was in the region of $23bn. They found that of investors who already use alternative assets, more than eight in 10 say they are pleased with the performance of those holdings. The report says: "Looking forward, three in five investors say the alternative strategies they invest in will outperform last year's returns".
Beyond that, a solid majority of investors who currently use alternatives would keep their allocation the same if they were starting over again. Among those who would change their allocation to those asset classes, twice as many would increase their allocation as would decrease it. U.K. investors, at 44%, were the most likely to say they would raise their allocation to alternative investm......................

My Army Life and the Fort Phil Kearney Massacre
Frances C. Carrington
"Massacre" references the 1866 Indian battle with a company of US troops under Captain William Fetterman on the Wyoming plains near Fort Phil Kearny (spelled Kearney by the author). Fetterman and his entire force of 80 men were killed, including Lt. George Grummond, first husband of the author. Carrington's book was originally published in 1910, and although seemingly biased in presenting the story, she was there when it occurred. Her descriptions of Western army life are illuminating, earthy and remarkable with keen observations.

High School
I'm going to be honest about everything here. I am not a blogger, I don't feel that I am entertaining enough, and I'm certainly not a fitness and health expert. This may be in part why I'm here. For the past 10 years I have always had a future goal to attain, or more of what I would call: something hanging over my head. For me, this was education. Growing up I had no idea that I would go to college. It wasn't until Junior year in high school after a fight with my dad over my grades that I had even begun to think about it. And as selfish as it was, I remember the exact phrase that pushed me into thinking about it "if you go to college, I'll buy you a car". Ha! Whatever it takes I guess, right? I know that's a ridiculous thing to motivate me, but in all honesty, it may have saved me. From then on out I began to really try at school so that I could get better grades. Previous to this I was getting C's and B's and I would often get in trouble for talking in class and I really could care less about studying for tests. Something happened to me that year in high school. I remember the first time I actually started to do well. I had a math test in Trigonometry (I always hated math), and I had been meeting with my teacher for help and had vowed to myself that I would stop talking to my friends in class and pay attention to this teacher, who was so eager to help. I was one of the last students finished with the exam, but when I got it back I had a 93, unheard of for me in math… especially with the difficult material we had just covered. This pushed me even further. I began to appreciate math, because there is always an answer to every problem- you just need to acquire the tools to figure it out. I began staying after school to get extra help, and I actually began to enjoy getting the grades I was getting. I was driven to succeed in my other classes as well. I was on the honor roll for the last two years of high school. Something had changed in me.
I began college in 2002 at Rider University in New Jersey. The first year in, I asked my dad about that car he had promised. His response: "if you go to UNH I will co-sign for a car". What???!! What kind of college student makes payments on a car? I was in no place for that. Regardless, after several discussions and some serious thought, I transferred to the University of New Hampshire in the Fall of 2003. This was another one of my "best decisions ever".
From the beginning to end of my undergraduate career, I was stressed out. Because school had become so important to me and I was so obsessed with getting A's and B's, this was my only focus. I gained weight, my face was always broken out, and my eating habits were terrible. Aside from having moved from home for the first time in my life and having endless amounts of junkfood available just a walk away in the dining hall, keeping up with homework was a major stress in my life. For some odd reason I have always had it in my head that as long as I have work to do for school, I can't do anything else to enjoy myself. I have never really been able to get over this. Because of this, I have never been able to start a healthy routine of eating right and working out, and actually maintain it.
In 2007, a year after college ended, I started working in Boston, MA. Shortly after, I started taking classes toward a Master's in Biotechnology. In the beginning, I simply wanted to take advantage of the tuition reimbursement offered by my employer. I had no intentions of graduating with a Master's, in fact, I had no intentions of staying on Boston for longer than 2 years. 5 years later, I am graduating with a Master's in Biotechnology. Funny how life turns out. I wasn't sure I would make it this far because I had not one ounce of desire to complete a thesis, a requirement for completing the program. But I had come as far as completing all the courses, and this was one less thing to do. In my mind, the sooner I completed the thesis, the sooner I could move to California- a long term goal that I have had since I moved to Boston (hence only wanting to be here 2 years). Well, here I am, thesis just completed, graduation scheduled May 24th. Ta-da! I never in my life imagined this. EVER.
The feeling of just having completed the last portion of school I ever plan to take has left me surprisingly nostalgic. I had this feeling when I graduated from UNH. Its a strange feeling that you never really expect. No doubt I feel relieved, but on some level I felt like my goals have all been achieved. My long term goals still include moving to California, staying for a few years, and moving back east and starting a family. But at the moment, I have nothing hanging over my head. Nothing that relies on the other people for help or a grade.
My Motivations
Throughout my life I have always wanted to be really fit and strong, but have never committed to doing anything about it because I was always so busy with school and "didn't have time" to focus on it. I would start working out to Jillian Michaels, or something I found on demand; or I would work out in my basement doing circuit training workouts that I had made up from looking around online… but I had trouble maintaining this. I remember things such as getting sick, or going on vacation interrupting my momentum, and I would give up the workouts. And they would stop.
Finishing my thesis left me feeling minutely sad, relieved, excited, and anxious about the next chapter of my life all at the same time. I have made the decision to use these feelings to empower myself in formulating my next goal: I want to be as healthy and fit as I can possibly be, and I want to maintain this for life. I want to do this to feel strong and like I am taking advantage of every last second that life has to offer, because you never know what can happen. I consider myself a realist, many consider me a pessimist but it doesn't matter to me, because I know myself better! As a realist, I have motivated myself to begin this new journey by the simple fact that I CAN. Accidents happen, people lose their ability to walk, talk, move, breath on their own, feed themselves, or even live, in one instant. You never know when your life could completely change. I have thought about this many times. If something like this ever happened to me, how would I feel? In all honesty, I would feel like I didn't take advantage of what I had. I didn't take advantage of this wonderful body, air and life that God has offered me. This alone provides a lot of motivation to succeed in my goal.
I have nothing "hanging over my head" that needs finishing, I am 27 years old and fortunately, perfectly healthy. Why am I not taking advantage and pushing my body to be the best that it can be, why am I not living my "Best Life"? I have seen what age, eating poorly, and constantly being stressed out can do to you, and am hereby vowing to myself that I am going to try as hard as I can to live a long, happy, and healthy life.
What I have tried
Historically, I have always begun dieting and fitness as a means to lose weight. However, I have found that once the weight is off, I get this new-found confidence that helps me put my guard down and I have trouble maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Right now, I am happy to say that I am very satisfied with my weight, and will not be disappointed if I gain weight in the form of muscle. My first "diet" started in college when my father and I decided to do the South Beach diet. I read the book in its entirety and was amazed at all the things I was putting into my body. I am not advocating a diet like this, but this was a great start for opening my eyes to the possibility that food could do a lot of harm to a person. The book was an easy read and really helped me to want to learn more about what I put in my body. When you are young, you eat what your mother gives you. When you move out of the house, its a whole new experience where you have the power to buy all those foods that your mother would never buy or let you have… its like Christmas! And its easy to take advantage of it, especially if you were never taught that some foods are really bad for you. Previous to reading the South Beach Diet book, I had no idea about any of the food that I was eating. So this was a really good stepping stone to get me informed. And I did lose my "freshmen 15" , so that was something. And although I gained some of it back after, I at least knew what I should be eating, even if I wasn't always adhering to it.
A few years ago I also tried weight watchers, and this has actually worked. I lost 15 lbs, which was more than I wanted, but I knew that I was eating the right amount of food. I actually felt pretty good. And ironically I was able to see my muscles even though I hadn't worked out in a long time! To boot, doing weight watchers gave me so much confidence and self control that I didn't think I had. I was able to pass up the best of junk foods including chips, macaroni and cheese, Ben and Jerry's, cheese, etc… when my loving boyfriend would be indulging late at night. I was happy that I could be comfortable in my body and still be eating things that brought me happiness. Which is also how I also learned that if eating a certain food gives you true enjoyment and satisfaction, then you should take your time, eat it, and enjoy every minute of it- but overindulging in it takes that away from you. I learned to appreciate the flavors of things I was eating, and when I eat something like Ben and Jerry's, I try to take my time, enjoy it with a smile on my face, and save some for later!
While counting calories gave me an idea of the portion sizes I should eat, it wasn't without flaws. There were definitely times when I would consume the right amount of calories, but I wouldn't be eating the right foods. For example, if I wanted to indulge in Ben and Jerry's, occasionally I would substitute it for dinner! Not always the best mentality, but sometimes we falter. Also, the weight I lost was not seen as a good thing to others. Unfortunately, at 115lbs being 5'3′ I also had people telling me I was too skinny, on a regular basis. I never thought I would be hurt by those words, and I know that people who feel bad about being overweight are probably ready to stab me right now- but I let these comments affect me, and they really bothered me, as much as I tried to ignore them. I started eating more junk food and indulging more and more. And I gained a few pounds back, but to be honest I am not worried about that at this point. Now I am more concerned that I get the right things in my body and that I become as strong and fit as I can be! I don't care if I gain 15 lbs doing that- as long as its in the right manner (and its proportionate)!
Journey to Fit
I am going to blog about my journey to fit, in hopes of maintaining my motivation. I believe that being able to see where you began can give you an incredible amount of hope and confidence in getting where you are going. I have noticed this by looking back at journals I have kept, in which my ability to handle certain situations has improved incredibly, and I am able to give myself a pat on the back and be proud of how far I have come. I would like to feel this when looking back on my journey to fitness and health, and feel successful. I hope to achieve fitness, health, satisfaction, and the confidence that I can do anything that I want to do. I see so many examples of people doing things that make them so happy, and I find it easy to sit back and do things that are easy and comfortable. I want to be one of those people. And suddenly, over the past month or so, I have realized that its really not that hard. I admit that I don't have any one passion in life and this has bothered me for some time now. But I am now accepting the fact that I can use this to my advantage and try everything I have ever wanted to try- in search of that passion. I have always wanted to feel fit and have a strong body, I have always wanted to be entertaining, I have always wanted to be able to talk louder (silly I know), I have always wanted to be a dancer, have a farm, do martial arts, live in a city, be an avid hiker, snowboard, live in another country, speak another language, have an amazing job, have children, buy a house, go skydiving, take a roadtrip, get crazy about yoga, etc… This list could go on. I am going to attempt to do all of these things because, well- WHY NOT?

text: The Madras High Court dismissed a Public Interest Litigation filed by K. Saravanan challenging the acquisition of lands for the Cheyyur 4000 MW UMPP and captive power plant. The court ruled that the litigant was not a land-owner and that the acquisition proceedings had begun as early as in 2010. The ruling is not a setback to the campaign against the power plant. The merits of the case, including the allegation that the lands have been identified fraudulently, and that the proponent has denied the presence of ecologically sensitive areas within and around the project site are currently under review in the National Green Tribunal. More importantly, the documents filed by the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board as part of its defence in the PIL provides further evidence of the fraud committed in the selection of sites for power plant and port. The dismissal of the PIL (See links to articles below) has to be seen in this context.
