I will warn you upfront, this review is going to be a mixed bag. I consider myself to be a real fan of Jeep overall. Let me summarize this early, there are things I like about the Jeep Compass, and things I absolutely hate.
The Compass debuted in 2007 to little fanfare. Since that time, there have been improvements for sure, and an exterior change in 2011 that created the look of a mini Grand Cherokee. This front wheel drive SUV comes with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder in two- wheel drive models, and with a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder in the four-wheel drive versions.
My review vehicle is the Latitude 4×4 package, so it has the 2.4 4-cylinder that puts out 172-horses. Below the Latitude package is the Sport Package, and above it is the Limited package. The Compass is the most car-like SUV Jeep offers.
Compass drives OK, it has more road noise than I like, but the ride is fine, not too rough. Torque steer is a problem, if you stomp on it, hold the steering wheel tight, it's going to dive left or right. Handling is good, which is a characteristic of Jeeps.
The Latitude package is sort of what I call the "no frills" package. It has cloth and vinyl seats, what appears to be a lot of cheap plastic throughout the interior, and frankly it is sort of bland on the inside. It comes with standard equipment such as power windows and locks, keyless entry, heated front seats, tilt wheel, cruise control, a leather wrapped steering wheel with a few controls, and premium fog lamps. It has 17" aluminum wheels and with the Freedom II package, a real spare tire.
The room in the Compass is actually quite good. There is plenty of room for two adults in the back seat, and headroom for all passengers is surprisingly good. The rear compartment has 22.7-cubic feet of storage, and if you fold the second row seat down, that increases to 53.6-cubic feet of storage.
Options-wise, this Compass has Chrysler's terrific Uconnect System. Uconnect gives you Bluetooth, MP3, and voice command, all run from a colorful 6.5" touchscreen. For the record, I think the Chrysler Uconnect screen is the easiest and most intuitive of any vehicle I've ever been in. Everything is right where you can see it. With many of these type systems, you have to go through numerous pages just to change the radio. You can even post pictures for the welcome screen. Uconnect is a bargain at $495.
For $895, you get the backup camera, which also includes a 40-GB hard drive to store your music, and remote start. I think this is a good package too, and worth the extra money.
Here is where everything goes south. Whatever you do, stay away from the Freedom Drive II package. The cost is $650 and I'd pay double that not to have it. This is an off-road package that includes the full-sized spare, tow hooks, skid plates, hill start assist, a wiring harness, Trail Rated badges on the fenders, oil cooler, and all-season mats. Sounds pretty good, huh? With the Freedom Drive II package, you get the continuously variable transmission (CVT). Every other 2.4-liter Compass comes with the six-speed automatic, including the Freedom I package.
The CVT in this Compass is horrible. It is incredibly sluggish and you end up putting the gas pedal to the floor just to get the Compass moving. It is jerky upon deceleration and over all, it just drives you crazy. I can only imagine that Chrysler had some of these transmissions left over and picked this package to try to get rid of them. If you are a serious four-wheeler, the Freedom II package has a selectable locking Off-Road mode with Hill Descent Control along with grade sensing features. When not in low speed Off-Road lock mode, torque is adjusted on-demand for added fuel efficiency. This system's all-weather capability and control handles difficult road situations both on and off-road including deep snow, mud and up to 19 inches of water. It is still not worth putting up with the CVT.
To make matters worse, the same engine with the 6-speed automatic is fuel economy rated at 21-city/27 highway. With the CVT it is 20-city/23 highway. I was so excited to try the Compass with the 6-speed; I have driven the Compass and Patriot with the CVT and hated it. I had heard that they all had the 6-speed now, imagine my surprise to get this one. I strongly recommend Chrysler pull all the Freedom II packages out of the press fleet, you are not doing yourself any favors.
Price-wise, it would be a bargain if it had the other transmission.
What I liked most: Interior room, the Uconnect system, and exterior looks.
What I would change: Obviously the transmission.
MSRP: Base price $24,495-as equipped $27,530.
Fuel Economy: 20 City/23 highway/21 combined.
Odometer reading when tested: 1130 miles.
Weight: 3171 Pounds.
Length-Width-Height: 175.1" long/71.4" wide/65" High
Fuel Tank Capacity: 13.6 gallons.
Towing Capacity: 2000 pounds.
2014 Compass in a few words: Make sure you don't get the Freedom II package and you'll like the Compass.
Warranty: 3-year/36,000 mile bumper-to-bumper, 5-year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty with roadside assistance.
Car Pro Rating: 1 out of 5 Stars*
*Reviewers Note: I believe with the 6-speed automatic, this SUV would rate at 4 out of 5 stars.
Manufacturer's website: http://www.jeep.com/en/2014/compass/#model=limited&color=black
Dealers: We have great Jeep dealers in Austin, Cleveland, Dallas, Houston, Lubbock, Phoenix, Sacramento, San Antonio, and Los Angeles.

Caring for my widower Dad.
Hi! My mom passed away 8 months ago and I have now had to take over the job of taking care of my father. Mom did everything, as far as running the house, even though her body was giving out. She was the "brains", so to speak and dad was the "muscle". She told him what to do & when to do it. Now that she's gone, I am his only go-to person (an only child). I go through his mail, pay his bills, order his meds, go to appointments with him. He had three horrible months until we got him diagnosed with depression and he has improved since being on meds. I don't mind helping him, but I would like him to try a little bit more to do things. He cleans, does laundry and minimally cooks, so he's doing some stuff. Sometimes I just feel like I have to keep him entertained & find myself driving the 60 miles roundtrip a few times a week to cook for him and visit. It's a strain on my marriage and is starting to really wear me down. Anyone else been in this situation? My mom's last coherent words were "Who will take care of your father?". Now I know what she meant. She did a good job of it so I have big shoes to fill. THANKS!

It is wonderful that he is doing some housework. Encourage that, and praise him for it!
He does need to be entertained ... that is, it is not good for someone with depression and in mourning to be isolated and spend too much time alone. Your role is not to fill that void but to help him discover ways to fill it for himself. Go with him to the senior center a few times. See what ongoing activities are available there. (My husband discovered a senior bowling league where he didn't feel overwhelmed by everyone else's skills.) Many centers sponsor bus trips to interesting places. Many provide low-cost hot lunches.
Some men love to hang out at a diner or McDonald's and have coffee with a few pals in the morning.
Arrange to do the things he needs help with in the most convenient way for you. Pay bills online. Manage his medicines online or by mail, from your home. You may need to continue to make the round trip several times a week for a while, but your goal should be to get him involved in local activities and to reduce your visits to, perhaps, once a week.
Keep your husband informed of your plans, your heartaches, your fears. Don't shut him out of this part of your life. It is reasonable that you spend some time helping your father at this juncture, but keep it manageable and don't neglect your marriage while you are doing this.
Does you husband get along well with his father-in-law? Maybe sometimes he makes the trip to visit dad, and they do guy things together, while you stay home and prepare (or order in) a special dinner for his return.
Don't try to fill your mother's shoes. Help Dad find his independent stride.

For your information. The dominoes are falling.
Fake News New York Times is doing everything they can to steer the public away from Hillary Clinton's multi-million dollar garbage dossier the Deep State used in order to spy on Trump's campaign. The fake dossier ultimately sparked the 'Russian collusion' witch hunt.
If the dossier wasn't used in order to obtain a FISA warrant, then SHOW THE PUBLIC THE FISA APPS!
On Saturday The New York Times implied Trump campaign volunteer George Papadopoulos set in motion the 'Russian collusion' investigation, not the Hillary-funded dossier.
Papadopoulos was already charged. He wasn't charged with 'Russian collusion'. Papadopoulos was charged with making a false statement to the FBI because talking to Russians is not illegal, yet he's what prompted the Russia investigation?
The fake news media is beyond pathetic.

Yes I know it's Saturaday and that I'm a day late…but I was busy yesterday and forgot to post this. Oh well…better late than never lol. Enjoy.
There has been a topic on my mind alllll week about sex. so thankfully Freaky Friday is finally here, so I can talk about it. I feel that every person, but especially women, needs to do some self-evaluations when it comes to their bedroom boom business. I'm sure that most women are now thinking that men need to step back and consider themselves more than women do…but you're wrong! Women need to do it too, and it is more important for them to do if they are in a relationship. Let me explain myself.
Sex is an activity, like most, that you're either good at, or bad at. Like any activity, there are people who try hard, people who don't try hard enough, and some who just need to quit all together. However…I feel that any woman can be the MVP of her sexlympics if she just keeps in mind the 4 S's of Sex Evaluation. Each of these things are important to being the best you can be in bed, and if you are doing less than all 4…you really need to consider stepping your game up.
Stamina: This one is an obvious one. Without stamina, you're gonna get tired real quick. There is nothing more boring in the bedroom, than someone who complains about needing a break to regroup because they're tired. And on top of that, if you don't have stamina…you are basically going to be huffing and puffing during the act. I don't like heavy breathing in a normal non sexy moment in my day, so I surely dont want you breathing heavily on me then. No man wants a woman who literally can't keep up in the bedroom. If you dont have the stamina to do so…you're boring in bed…and need to get it together. The road to warm-and-tinglyville can be a rough (or a gentle) one, but there are no reststops…so be sure youre prepared for it.
Sound: There are two ways that this can go wrong. There is the woman who is too loud, and the woman who isn't loud enough. Now please don't read this and think that kids are a factor in this. No. This is referring to when you and ya man are alone and can be free and freaky. Being overly loud makes it seem like your faking. It's also hella annoying. There is really no reason to scream at the top of your lungs…the entire time. Being too loud is a quick way to get a man ready to "hurry up," which may or may not result in you NOT getting yours. Don't be in the show and not get your grand finale. On the flip side of this there is the woman who is too quite. That's just f*ckin weird. Unless you have a dude who is waaaay too into the walking dead…you need to make some damn noise. If you don't make noise, and you're just silently enjoying yourself…your man is gonna think he's doing something wrong. And we all know that when men think they are doing something wrong, they either try too hard (and you end up with your ovaries in your soul from the jack rabbit like pounding), or they stop trying (and you end up wondering why you didn't just go to bed). If you are a member of either one of these extremes…get it together.
Smell: Yes that's right smell. Now obviously you don't want your lady lips smelling like they've just kissed an onion…but that isn't what I'm talking about. (Sidenote: This is under the assumption that you know how to keep yourself clean and smelling pleasant. If not, you should seek psychiatric care, because your too damn old and grown to not know how to clean the cat…which means your bat sh*t crazy and in need of some help. But I digress.) I'm talking about the body lotions and the sprays. Ladies…please stop! You have your own natural pheromones that will release when you're horny. You don't need all that extra sh*t. Let your man learn what it smells like when you're aroused. And here's a F.F. (fun fact) for you…if you constantly douse yourself in fragrence…it kinda seems like you're trying to hide something. Women are already a confusing species to men…don't make it worse. However, it is ok to take a shower and use some LIGHTLY scented soap. A scent that is soft and subtle, but doesn't overpower the scent of your own love juices. Frankly…scents are meant for the outside world…not the bedroom. If you are an abuser of the scent…get it together!
Sleep: This is the #1 most important thing on the sex-evaluation! If after you are done with sexy time, and your man DOESN'T fall to sleep IMMEDIATELY…then it's just not good. And by it…I mean the love below. Your man should be so satisfied after sexing you up, that after the cork pops (lol…I like that euphemism), he should be sleep and snoring in no less than 2 minutes. If this doesn't happen to you, please refer to steps 1-3 and figure out where you went wrong. It is really that simple. Good Nani = Sleep, Bad Nani = you having to entertain him afterwards or cook. Get it together ladies.
Now that you know the 4 S's of Sex-Evaluation, please feel free to take part in the evaluation process. I'm only looking to help you and your love life. Your Welcome. LOL.
What are some things you think should be added to the Sex-Evalutation list? Let me know in the comments below.

Most of all, this is God's original design for us . Adam and Eve did not cook their food in the garden of Eden.
Just make one step everyday to eat as much raw food in your diet as you can. Wherever you are, poor or rich it is possible..! Eat Fruits! It's good for you! Nobody ever had an overdose on fruits or sugar, carbs or potassium from fruits. Fruit can easily satisfy you, so its imbossible to be overdosed. Fruits are assimilated and expelled within 2.5 hours so its impossible to be overdosed on fruits.
Oranges are acidic fruits but as soon as it comes in contact with saliva it becomes alkaline, so oranges can never damage ur teeth or bones ( unledd u drink those fake orange juice frm the grocer store). A lot of people fasted on as much as 30 oranges a day and they have strong teeth and bones. Whoever tells you otherwise is grossly misinformed by the media and by family tradition.
If you stop changing your paradigms, thats the death of learning.
If you are in the Philippines, dalanghita Will be readily available., there is no excuse for taking responsibility for your own health.
The number 1 rule to eating healthy is eat food in its freshest , unprocessed form. Try it for at least 3 days ( just eat salads and fruits and drink nothing but dalanghita or orange juice.. Take small steps no matter how small just keep moving. Stop making excuses and commit to your intention to be healthy.

there's a guy who I kinda like and he's a year older and we seem to be interested in the same kinds of things... I want to tell him eventually how I feel but how do I tell him without making things awkward?
Most Helpful Guy
To avoid awkwardness the first and foremost thing to do is to find out if he likes you back, you can do this by, casual flirting, if you touch his arm/leg then he shouldn't shy away if he's interested. You can ask him what girls he likes at the moment and he'll probably say "oh nobody" (this probably means it's you). If you text a lot then a good sign he likes you is that he will always be the first to text, and he will be fast with his replies.
Now if you're still not sure try organising a "group date" where you just organise a group of people to go and see a movie or something and invite him along. And slowly work your way towards one on one dates.
Just a suggestion, you don't need to listen to it.00|00|0THIS IS NOT RELEVANT ANYMORE


text: Pride & Prejudice Topics: Novel, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen Pages: 2 (678 words) Published: March 25, 2013 Jane Austen is often regarded as the greatest of English women novelists on the strength of her six completed novels. Noted particularly for their sparkling social comedy & accurate vision of human relationships, they are still as widely read today all over the world as they have ever been. It goes without saying that "Pride & Prejudice" is the most famous & ever-popular one. To begin with, I'd like to stress the point, that this particular novel is mainly about people's relationships & feelings to each other; so there comes an idea that the characters of this story are feelings, though they may be described in a metaphorical way. Each of them has its own name in Jane Austen's book, for example, Prejudice is called Elizabeth, Pride is Mr. Darcy, Haughtiness is Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Naïvety – Jane, Coquetry – little silly Lydia, Mother's Anxiety – Mrs. Bennet. As it follows from the name of the novel, the two main characters are Pride & Prejudice, i.e. Mr. Darcy & Elizabeth. But then there suddenly comes out a question: do all these feelings & relationships exist separately or do they somehow mix with each other? Can there be a close connection between Pride & Prejudice or can they even be inseparable from each other? Let's have a look at Mr. Darcy. "…[he] drew the attention of the room by his fine, tall person, handsome features, noble mien, & the report… of his having ten thousand a-year". But soon the impression of him was spoilt & people saw the only feature of Mr. Darcy & thought of him as a personification of Pride. But what was his pride about? The reason was that he thought all the people around him unworthy of his attention & friendship as they were on lower position in the society, especially the Bennet's family. I dare say this feeling can be called a kind of prejudice as well. It's pure prejudice to think that people poorer than you are not allowed to talk to you or deal with you. All in all, in the...

I did it - got through the week (with God's help). To top it off, today I sent an email to my friend Nathan thinking he was Randy. I was wondering why Randy did not get the message - mystery solved!
I left my brain in one of several places: a) UT, b) Canyon Vista Middle School, c) Bannockburn Baptist Church, c) my colleagues office, d) my piano students' house, e) Hyde Park Baptist Church, f) McCallum High School, g) Burnet Middle School, h) the chiropractor's office, i) Perry Castanedas Library. Most of those locations I visited on Thursday. What am I going to do this weekend? Sleep!
(And maybe get a Christmas tree - is it really Christmas time?)
I am afraid this blog entry is famously uninteresting. I am just excited to be posting when I do not next have to do a homework assignment.
Adoption news - ask me tomorrow. We may have some more of our paperwork done this weekend. We're ready to move on. It feels like we are at a standstill right now. Maybe next Christmas we'll finally have a little one. I hope so!

PERSONS OF INTEREST 1/2 (two and one half stars)
THE documentary "Persons of Interest" delves into one of the most chronically undercovered 9/11 stories – the still-unknown number of U.S. citizens and foreign nationals detained without trial in the wake of the attacks.
Filmmakers Alison Mclean and Tobias Perse offer talking-heads interviews with a dozen former detainees, most of them Palestinians, who were held from three weeks to more than a year – on what the detainees make sound like the flimsiest of evidence.
Their often touching stories of how their lives – and livelihoods – were disrupted are effectively intercut with excerpts from press conferences in which Attorney General John Ashcroft somewhat unpersuasively argues the detentions are needed in the name of national security.
Running time: 64 minutes. In English, Arabic, Spanish and Urdu, with English subtitles. Not rated (profanity). At the Cinema Village, East 12th Street between University Place and Fifth Avenue.

Leave 'Em Alone
A few nights ago, I was coming home from an evening bike ride, and I ran into one of my old friends. I saw a furry something scurry up a little hill 10 feet in front of me and thought that a cat was hanging out in the bushes there. But no, it was a small fox, whose long bushy tail stuck straight out as it skittered over to the side of a house for protection. I saw the little fox peering at me from the corner of this house, and I began to talk to it very quietly. You see, I know these foxes. Each spring for the last five years, a female has given birth under a garage on the property where I live, and so I've developed a slow but well-formed relationship with many of the fox community who live in my neighborhood. As I talked gently to this one, she (I think I can tell gender now by little things like size, shape of head, behavior, etc). began to walk back up to me until she was a safe 8-10 ft. away, sitting next to a small tree. I asked her how she was, did she remember me ( I bet she did, as I'd been bike riding, and she'd know my scent from when she was born on my property months before) and how she'd been doing. She looked a little thin; they often do once they've left the birthing den and begin to strike out on their own. I spent maybe close to 5 minutes chatting with her, with me talking and she popping her ears up, astounded by the fact a person was talking to her, and then I eventually continued on my way so that no one would spot me, and then her. She had a look of sad wonderment on her face as I rode off; like why are you leaving so soon? Believe me, little fox, I did it for you.
Tonight, I took another late night bike ride, and saw no foxes. However, we had a bad car accident right on the corner, and so a lot of emergency vehicles were in the area, including even an animal control van, being used to block off the street from access to the accident scene (I think someone died; it was a pickup, a small car, and a motorcycle, all crumpled in the street, and they blocked off the scene for more than 6 hrs.). As I began my late night ride, the crash scene was still there, with technicians measuring off distances and so on. The animal control van was also still there, blocking access, and as I rode away, a local neighborhood troll walking her dog walked up to the van. I was almost a block away, but I could here the troll saying to the person in the van that foxes lived over there, pointing to my residence. No, they don't live there anymore; it's no longer spring, and they've disbursed throughout the neighborhood. They don't hurt anything (although I would not leave a small cat or little dog out at night with them about), and they're afraid of people, but they are really very sweet little animals, once you get to know them. Urban foxes are usually considered now just like squirrels or birds, a part of many urban environments these days. If you leave them alone and exercise good common sense, chances are you won't even know they exist, as they roam the night in search of sustenance.
I really hate the people that feel they have to meddle in business that is not their own; and that cannot coexist with nature, especially nature that causes them no harm. With a grandfather who was full-blood Apache, it is still in me to revere nature and our brothers and sisters in the animal world. I feel these urban foxes are being hunted out of existence, like the wolf once was on the plains, or like the Native American was, for that matter, and so I have a strong identification with, and passion for, their defense and safety. So then, like any good Native American, on my way back, I took my bike and circled once completely around the animal control van, with its driver, and the troll, and her dog, taking a good look at all of them. We call that "counting coup", going into enemy territory, unarmed and without fear; and "showing the flag", as the U.S. Army might might state it today (and with many other police types still in the area). All living things have a right to exist, and especially if they cause no harm, and that right should be respected. Mind your own business and go buy something plastic or electronic at Wal-Mart to occupy your time, you damn yuppie troll!!!

Goodbyes and such
Had two bueno goodbye parties this weekend. One on Saturday for the family and friend crowd. One on Sunday for the church crowd. Good to see everybody who came. Hard to say goodbye. Cried a few times on Saturday, not to mention the internal twists and turns my body decided to do (apparently my body doesn't handle emotional stress well). Sunday was better (emotional strength-wise). Had great conversations ranging from the hard balance leading worship is to whether the Blazers should draft Oden or Durant (Oden 🙂 ).
Spent last night at Steph's folks house. Watched Night at the Museum. The first Ben Stiller movie I really liked. It was hilarious. Highly recommend it.
Had breakfast with my dad-in-law this morning (mmm… Biscuit's Cafe) and said goodbye. Went better than I expected. That goodbye will be rough for Steph and the girls later today. Pray for them (and her dad too). Will say goodbye to the mom-in-law on Wednesday.

NP - Akon - Mr. Lonely
This is Saif's Christmas Bear. Saif is at that age where hes just started walking. Hes a fat, cute little kid, cute in that imperfect way. But today's blog post isnt about Saif, its about his slightly older sister, 6aif.
Every day bar sundays, the Islamic Society at my university have free iftars, and on Saturdays they're big events - on Saturdays its not just for students, its for the Islamic community in the surrounding area. Everything is free, and they live off donations, and alhamdulillah they get enough to keep going. Anyway, because its a community event, families come. And families bring kids.
try to picture this: you have to feed some 300 people, including a couple dozen crazy, hyperactive children. What they usually do is get the kids in a separate room and try to keep them entertained (and out of the way).
Yesterday, I was asked to help out - preparing tea, plates of biscuits, etc. I was by myself, so it was hectic, especially since the timing had to be just right, as well as the fact that we had a slight problem with food distribution and so there were no extra hands to help get the job done quicker. But I got it done without disaster. Just when I think I'm done, one of the sisters comes in and asks me to give her a hand with the kids. So I go to the room with the kids and its a bloody nightmare. I said to myself right then 'Z, dont ever ever have kids'.
So I'm helping out for a while, keeping them under control, until they eventually settle down somewhat. The sister gets their attention, and most of them, while still noisy, are at least under control. But theres this one kid, a little girl whos standing in the corner. Shes so quite, and shes got this sad, sad look in her eyes. Shes standing there in the corner next to the door, just looking slightly scared. So I go to her and ask her her name. She looks at me, and quickly looks away. I keep trying to talk to her, and she refuses to look at me, instead focusing on something in the distance. She still has that worried look in her eyes. Eventually she responds to me (still averting her eyes). She whispers! She whispers so quietly, its like the movement of leaves in wind, I can barely hear her at all! When I ask her name, I can just finally hear '6aif'. I say to her 'lets go for a ride little girl, this place is too loud'.
I take 6aif's hand - such tiny hands! - and step out of the room. Its quiet outside - theres nobody in the corridor. I take her around, and I decide to take her into the kitchen (its fairly quiet because taraweeh is going on and theres no food being served). We need to go downstairs, so I pick her up. She makes no effort to resist, but at the same time she doesnt hold on or anything. Shes just completely passive to me, a stranger, picking her up and taking her into alien areas without her mommy or Saif or anyone. In the kitchen, a couple of of my Malaysian friends are there, and I 'introduce' them :p. Then I take 6aif outside, where its just so quite. The weather's wonderful, slightly chilly but still and dry. The girl just keeps looking up at the sky.
'Dont you think its beautiful?' I say to her..she just nods. After a few minutes I take her back in, and my friend Nadia is there. I give 6aif to Nadia, and in her arms 6aif starts rubbing her eyes. She starts falling asleep in Nadias arms, so Nadia tells me to take 6aif back quick (cause shes got some work to do). So I take her back and go back upstairs.
I ask her if she wants to sleep, and she nods. So I find an empty room, turn of the lights, sit down and wait for her to go to sleep. Bear in mind this is probably the longest time I've ever spent with a child. Im never had any experience with children - they scare me, they're unpredictable. Shes in my arms, rubbing her eyes furiously, and I get a bit worried. Is that healthy? So I stop her, and try to get her to just relax and try to sleep. After a few minutes I think maybe shes not comfortable (I'm a guy - our bodies are not made to provide comfort to children), so I do the best I can in that situation - I lay her down on a table and rest my arm under her head, to act as some kind of pillow. I'm frantic here - what the hell am I supposed to do! I cant stick around while this kid falls asleep. But at the same time I'm absolutely touched that this child, 6aif, has accepted me. For the next fifteen minutes or so shes lying still trying to sleep and I'm feeling both frantic and full of something I've not really experienced before.
She speaks unprovoked for the first time - she wants to go back with the other girls. She doesnt want to/cant sleep. So I pick her up, and this time she holds me. She trusts me...she's accepted me. I take her to back to the kids and leave. About an hour later I see her running around having fun, and her mom comes and picks her up, and thats it.
But that girl touched me, man. At the beginning I was like 'dont ever have kids' now Im like 'argghh i want kids!' Theyre just something special. Paternal instincts kicking in? Maybe :p

Not much to chat about this week. I'm working on editing the mystery, so that's front burner right now. I'm excited for the mystery to come out, and nervous too. When I started writing, this is what I wanted: to be a mystery novelist. I love my other projects and love all forms of writing (and all forms of creativity), but still, this is a huge hurdle that is fast approaching.
Worked on technical issues of audio production. That's a huge, huge challenge to me, and not easy. It's not like there is one book that answers every question. There are too many parameters in audio production. But, working on the mystery is my top priority, right now. Will work audio production another day.
Hope you have a fabulous week!

13 Absolutely Cringeworthy His & Hers Outfits From The 1970s. #3 Is So Awful!
So, couples dressing alike was a thing in the 1970s, I guess? If so, thank god that fad faded away.
1. "Thank goodness even our hats match, honey!"
2. Um, are those sweater pants?
3. Don't worry, you can match together while lounging at home, too.
4. "I brought my favorite bat to this key party!"
5. Mint. Sweater. Vest. Dress.
6. The couple who wears this is doubly patriotic!
8. Rockin' matching outfits in more ways than one! Party on!
9. "Up, up and away, in my beautiful balloon!"
10. The couple that suspends together, stays together.
12. All business about matching.
13. Is it a headband? Is it a legband?

Beer - Going to the Dogs?
Kwispelbier (which means tail-wagging in Dutch) is brewed from a special blend of beef extracts and malt, giving it the smooth & meaty lager taste that dogs love so much. A spokesman for the brewery says it's marketed as, "A beer for your best friend..."
The beer is non-alcoholic.
Now, we just need to find a way to have them earn money, because there is no way I am supporting animal beer habits :o)

My dogs would say "non-alcoholic? What's the point?", and they'd have a point/ReplyDelete
This could go wrong in so many ways. The dogs would recognize the scent and think real beer was the same. Bad idea! (Hugs)IndigoReplyDelete
Now this story made me smile. I just may have to buy a dog, though I doubt my cats will be thrilled. How about a brew for them too.ReplyDelete
Beer for dogs, who would of thunk of it!ReplyDelete
What will they think of next? It is actually a good idea as long as it doesn't harm the dogs. Makes the owner - pet bond even stronger... the actual downside is that it means alcoholic pet owners or depressed ones will always have a drinking partner.ReplyDelete

A midsummer night. Enchanting all on it's own. Add in some vibrational visuals and it becomes even more so. And this piece is vibrating. Especially that golden/orange/purple frame the seems like a portal to the green/blue energy that appears to open inside it. High frequency? well yes, the high frequency of the upper chakras, the high frequency vibration of the sub atomic world of quarks and neutrinos dancing their never ending dance at Club Life.
This one has a lot of things happening. Heavy landscapes, like photographs from orbit and much delicious and mystical activity along the axises. That center is a really beautiful thing. And that center is what's drawn me in as a meditation tool. And not in the idea of staring at it, although that is certainly quite fun. No, it really stems from something Zengirl said to me about how much of this work invokes a stillness. It's like flash meditation. I noticed it with this piece. I could give it 10 seconds of my undivided attention, and it gave me back a calm. I felt refreshed, like from splashing cool water on my face during this Midwestern heatwave.
So, without further ado, here's "Midsummer Night's Enchantment"…
So what do you think about this one? Your comments, opinions and ramblings are appreciated and enjoyed quite muchly by the staff here at The Square, so share 'em if you got 'em.
Yours in the never ending search for the creative in all things…Cosmo
P.S. To my adored and treasured Zengirl, whose insights and intuition serve as my guide, thank you my love for all that you are and all that you do.

I have wound up over-committing myself, which means the update will have to wait a little while longer. It's tough work creating an in-depth and professional yet personal piece about how life gets away from oneself. So, in the mean time, here's part 2 of the 5-page comic Storytelling.
I am enjoying the simplicity of this comic – as well as drawing the 7 main characters. It's also been a lot of fun creating an urban legend of my own, especially as Jan Brunvard [famous folklorist and author of The Vanishing Hitchhiker (1981)] was and is my folkloristics role model. These kinds of stories were my first exposure to thinking critically about everyday life – and at the young age of 12 years old, too!
It is a bit tough for me to draw muscular men, though I'm not sure why. I suppose it's a matter of concern because female and male bodies seem so similar to me yet have such distinct cultural boundaries drawn around them. In any case, the next few pages for this story are already in the sketching stage, so you should see them soon-ish. If not for a job interview later this week, they'd be on your devices/Internets within the week!
Until next time,

Bio/Historical Note:
Elizabeth E. "Bettie" McCoy Cushing (1829-1906), daughter of Jane Isabel Carson McCoy (1808-1884) and Judson McCoy, married Edwin M. Cushing (1830-1903), son of Merrill Cushing and Anne Barnes Cushing, in 1851. Both were Augusta County natives and continued to reside in Staunton, Virginia after their marriage. They were also devoted congregants of the local Methodist church. The Cushings had five children – William Amiss Cushing (1855-1907), Edwin Judson Cushing (1861-1930), Henrietta Cushing Harman (1864-1895), Gertrude Cushing Miller (1869-1904), and Katie Cushing Anderson (1858-1930).
During the Civil War, Edwin M. Cushing was a member of the Confederate commissary department and was an organizer and charter member of the Stonewall Brigade Band. He also served as the band's first president. Before and after the war, Cushing worked as an auctioneer. Cushing was also an active member in community organizations including the local Masonic lodges and the Knights of Pythias.
Scope and Content:
The Cushing Family Papers, 1843-1894, are comprised chiefly of correspondence between members of Edwin and Bettie Cushing's immediate and extended family. Several folders of financial and personal papers are included though they do not all demonstrate a clear connection to the Cushings.
The collection is arranged into two series. Each series is further arranged chronologically.

Series 2: Papers, 1843-1889

Series 1: Correspondence, 1846-1894
Series 1: Correspondence, 1846-1894, is comprised almost exclusively of correspondence addressed to Bettie McCoy Cushing, with most letters written by her husband Edwin Cushing, her mother Jane Carson McCoy, and her cousin Ellie (also signed Ella) in Winchester. A small group of letters from Robert Cabell Anderson (1854-1924) to his future wife Katie Cushing Anderson, daughter of Edwin and Betting Cushing, are included. Additional family members present in the correspondence (as either author or recipient) include Judge Joseph Carson (1806-1871) and Judson McCoy. All correspondence is arranged by recipient.
Contextual evidence within the letters addressed "My dear child" (or similar variant) suggests that they were written to Bettie and/or Edwin Cushing from Bettie's mother Jane Carson McCoy. Mother McCoy, who frequently wrote from Allendale (now West Virginia), provided updates to the Cushings on Bettie's siblings and other family members.
The subject matter of the letters is generally newsy with mentions of community happenings and family updates, leadership changes in local churches, health and illnesses, births and deaths, and weather reports. A cousin in Canton, Missouri wrote to Bettie McCoy Cushing in April 1852 about a presumed outbreak of an unnamed affliction in her family. The cousin writes, "Jimmie laid 15 weeks before he was able to sit up, no one thought he would live, but he is now able to go about the house & is beginning to gain a little flesh. Our little negro girl laid eleven weeks & died. & Willie has been confined to his bed nearly 4 weeks with the same disease." In a letter dated February 14, 1887, Bettie McCoy Cushing wrote to her daughter Katie Cushing Anderson expressing her condolences for the loss of the Andersons' young son, Cabell.
As Edwin M. Cushing's work as an auctioneer frequently required traveling away from his wife, Cushing's letters to Bettie are generally sentimental and mention his desire to see her soon. In a July 3, 1853 letter, Cushing writes, "Here I am at the front window just as lonesome as a man without a friend in the world. I sit and look around & everything looks as natural as life except you are not here. Oh how lonesome."

Should You Make a Deal?
Economic indicators continue to act like a pendulum that is stuck in the middle and is barely moving. Most companies are still searching for ways to boost revenues and get the pendulum to move toward their goal line. Here is an idea that's been used for centuries but still is an effective approach for many companies trying to gain or increase momentum.
As summer winds down, parents and kids are doing their back-to-school shopping. Deals for students and teachers abound at local malls and retailers all across the county. The National Retail Federation say's that families with children will spend an average of $688 on school clothes, supplies and electronics this year. Like they do for the holidays, many retailers are willing to cut their profit margins to increase volume and make way for new inventory.
Every buyer of a product or service likes to feel like they "got a good deal". Does your company offer "deals", either regularly or occasionally? If you already do, or are considering it, you need to make an offer which advertising agencies refer to as the "compelling offer". Translated: an offer that is good enough to make me buy…now. It could be "two-for-one", "10% off", "this weekend only"…the possibilities are endless.
It's fairly simple for a retailer to put an item on sale. But for some industries and professions it's more challenging to come up with a compelling offer. Occasionally it's impossible (want to be operated on by a brain surgeon offering a discount?) But many industries that you wouldn't think could come up with an offer just need to do a little brainstorming.
For example, let's say you own a new/used equipment company. Having trouble selling used forklifts? How about renting them? "September special: rent a forklift for one week and get a second week at half-price". Use your imagination. You have items sitting on your shelves, or a service to offer, that people want today but will only take action if they believe they are getting "the best deal".
Some business owners refuse to discount because they believe that once they offer a discount their customers will no longer pay full price again. There is no statistical evidence to support that theory, but to each his own. Discounting isn't for everyone. However, if you are considering offering a discount to increase sales here are a few things to consider as you construct your offer:
- How are you going to get the word out? Online? Print? Radio? A combination of these?
- How much can I discount to entice my prospect to take action yet still make a reasonable profit?
- What is the time limit on my offer (instills a sense of urgency)?
- Can I sell one product or service at full price and discount an add-on?
- What is my competition doing?
Only you can decide if you want/need to discount right now. The end of summer is a great time to clear out old inventory by offering it at a discount. And getting that buyer in the door may just lead to additional business sold at full margins.
We hope you've had an enjoyable and profitable summer and that the fall season treats you and your business well.

Lorel was very kind and gentle with Gracie. It takes awhile for Gracie to warm up to people but by the time Lorel left...they were friends. Scheduled another walk for this weekend and I plan on booking Lorel for my upcoming vacation. ?
Lorel is a great sitter & dog walker. She's watched my dog for me many of times when I had to work and treated her my pup like it was her own. She always made sure to send pictures and update me on how she was doing and even took the time to try and teach her new tricks and comands. I would definitely recommend her!

Creating Your own house — Homebuilding Training
The majority of us just imagine creating your own house as well as residing in this for that relaxation in our life, nicely not for that relaxation in our life. My personal grandpa constructed their house whenever my dad had been 9 years of age as well as resided inside it till he or she passed away. Like a Father as well as common service provider, I've usually desired to construct my very own house however in no way obtained the opportunity.
For anybody thinking about creating the house of the goals, I discovered several publications upon house creating which appeared to be fairly useful. I've been redesigning, creating space improvements, done monitor home framework for a long time and also have carried out much more house maintenance compared to you may picture. I've discovered a few of these publications to become really ingenious as well as useful, with regards to resolving a few of the difficulties We encounter.
With regards to creating the building blocks, it isn't nearly flowing the cement piece or even footings. You have to operate electric avenue, plumbing related provide as well as waste materials plumbing, make certain the actual creating basis is actually sq . as well as degree, and when a person overlook something, only one point, you could discover your self inside a globe associated with harm. I've done houses in which the contractor didn't remember to set up electric avenue as well as plumbing related for any kitchen area isle. The actual service provider required to noticed reduce the building blocks as well as restore from this, throughout the house building. This particular price the actual creating service provider close to $4600.
Occasionally the list is sensible however exactly where you receive the list with regard to creating houses. Nicely perhaps eventually, I'll attempt to help to make 1. These types of house creating publications happen to be useful assets in my experience for several years and also have preserved me personally suffering as well as pain more than easy stuff that frequently obtain ignored.
It is a small mind-boggling in order to actually consider creating your own house, without having a few building abilities. Building understanding could be acquired via on-the-job instruction as well as through reading through building guides. The very best associated with each sides is always to possess these two abilities.
Building understanding could be acquired or even enhanced, with time along with encounter, coupled with a few excellent publications.

Army Men is the first work of The 3DO Company's whole series of RTS (Real-Time Strategy) video games which primarily inspired by the popular movie Toy Story at that time. It was published in 1998 and later ported to Game Boy Color handheld platform in 2000. There is no doubt that Army Men series is one of the classic games many old players do not want to miss.

In addition to coming with excellent 3D graphics & special effects (in those days), Army Men's production team also deliberately go to the real military exercises to record the sound used for game. As a consequence, Army Men's sound effects are pretty realistic.
It should be noted that, in Army Men, although there are a variety of weapons, none of them are invincible. That's to say, you have to choose the right weapon according to different situations in order to obtain the initiative on the battlefield. At the same time, game player's action is not isolated or helpless, you can call air support, mobilize paratroopers, perform air reconnaissance on the enemy positions, etc. In addition, during each mission, you are able to pick up the remaining equipment in the last mission. Plus, this small game contains a series of campaigns and dozens of different missions. All of these make the whole game has a sense of continuity, and thus becomes very playable.

Bello was on third base when his phone rang. It was a very slow "Westlife" ringtone that he so specially assigned to Adeola's contact. However, deep into Ada's burrows and reeking of pure, raw sensual ecstasy, Bello couldn't distinguish between Ada's sonorous moans and the tone emanating from his phone. Again it came and at that second time, he was in the middle of a forceful expulsion, his head tightly held against Ada's fair and 'D-cup' bossom. He screamed, uncharacteristically and the ringtone again drowned in the sea of his pleasurable groan.
"Why do I have the feeling that you're making up for lost times?" Ada teased, working her hand unapologetically on his now flacid and slimy 'johnson'. Bello giggled and twitched at intervals. He spread out his legs for maximum pleasure and watched his little man nod its head like the multicolored agama lizard. He roared with excitement and positioned her rightly parallel to his body. She smirked and guided his taut staff right into a dripping and welcoming honey jar. She rode him like a pony, doing all the dirty and thrusting work, leaving him to savour the dripping ecstacy. He was well positioned with his head against the fluffy pillow while she adjusted her position at intervals, between bracing herself on her elbows and sitting up on him. Her eyes fluttered shut and she arched against his hairy frame, brushing her chest against his in one last deep exhale. He came and conquered and she felt his heart pounding against her fragile, fair chest.
His phone made a short, sharp beep. He knew it was a text message and the thought consciously slipped through his mind twice as fast. He kissed Ada's nose, cheek, lips and forehead. She kept her eyes shot as she savoured the wet touches on her make-up free face. His right hand explored every inch of her torso. He reveled in her scent and taste, he could have sworn lactose was around somewhere.
"Why don't you ever use protection, why do you always have to mess up my bedspread with all that liquid?!" Ada jeered, as she made her way into the bathroom.
Boy champion was too tired to even voice a response however. He simply eyed her swaying naked bum. He rolled over to the not-so-wet part of the bed and saw Ada's phone stuck by the wall. He swiped to unlock and he was greeted by a smiling face of a very bearded man.
He quickly proceeded to the picture gallery heart-in-mouth and behold, a very dense folder containing varying pictures of the 'Rick Ross' figure. He closed it and proceeded to check her whatsapp messenger. He wished he hadn't.
Ada came out of the bathroom butt naked and could clearly see that something was wrong from the looks on his face. He picked up his shorts from the edge of the room where it had landed earlier from her vigorous toss and briskly left the room. She couldn't quite understand what was going on and was too dumbfounded to even speak.
Bello had a very quick bath and headed out. He hailed a bike and rode to the school clinic.
"Have you told him?" Fola immediately asked, upon entering Adeola's room.
"I've texted him, he wasn't answering my calls." She tamely replied.
"Ok, come on, let's get you to the clinic."
They headed to a private hospital in town to confirm the pregnancy and get a quick solution to it, if need be. Fola had been to the hospital on a number of occasions, to sort herself out and also help out others. It didn't feel like a big deal to her, but to Adeola, her world was crumbling. She couldn't believe she had gone so south amd kept wondering where she took the wrong turn exactly. They alighted in front of a small bungalow, painted white with a large inscription boldly placed on the building- Hope Hospital.
Fola stepped confidently through the front door and into a large reception area. It was unusually quiet and Adeola was glad there was next to nobody around. She was quite embarrassed as it was. Fola told her to sit by one of the benches and proceeded towards the two nurses seated behind a counter. She spoke softly to them and pointed towards her. The nurses nodded and one emerged from the counter and walked towards her whild Fola continued her inaudible chat with the other nurse.
"Good afternoon, please follow me."
Adeola stood up quietly and followed the nurse to a small waiting room. The nurse picked up a syringe and tied her arm by the bicept. Her veins popped up and the nurse pierced her soft delicate skin without warning. She winced and looked away as blood streamed into the syringe.
"You can go back to the reception."

Dating, Couples and Corporate Profile Photographer
Nottingham and Derby
First of all, let me introduce myself. I'm Gemma, and I'm a Dating and Corporate Profile Photographer, based in West Bridgford. I'm the No.1 choice for dating photography in Nottingham and Derby.
My mission is to help more people find love online. It's a fact – better photos will generate more interest. Not only on the dating scene, but in your professional life too.
Why dating photography?
After spending two years of my life on various dating sites I found the majority of photos I saw were dull and boring. Very few photos enticed me to want to discover more about potential partners.
It's time to abolish bathroom selfies people!
My photography packages are great value, and start at just £65.
Fun and relaxed photo shoots
I find that outdoor photo shoots work best. Feedback suggests that wandering around a beautiful park helps clients relax and they also find it a lot of fun. Locations might include Wollaton Park, Nottingham and Elvaston Castle, Derby – if you have a location in mind – let me know!
The process
- Get in touch
- Agree a date and location
- Photo shoot takes place
- Photos are processed
- You'll receive your photos in digital format
Great photos and an expert, which, rather than making me feel self-conscious and awkward – as I'd expected to be honest - was relaxed and pleasant. Gemma is very professional but also very easy to get on with.
Many thanks

Here's something I've been noticing more and more amongst designers showcasing their folio pieces. I've always been enamored by old Shaolin movies with Kung Fu warriors fending off hundreds of enemies whilst being suspended mid-air. This reminds me of that… Elegant, dramatic deception brought to you by the wonders of nylon string and Photoshop.
And my own attempt at sending off my work in flight:

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. – Edward Abbey
Much to the bewilderment and even revulsion of my family, I am not at all conventional. Sometime early in life, I decided that it was going to be one long, adventurous road trip, and while I seem to settle down for a while and get all conventional (or not), I keep getting driven out in the Spirit, and move on.
So if you are waiting for explanations, they aren't forthcoming. I am not made to be conventional. Be satisfied with that. I do have a strong sense of morality, although that, too, is not conventional. My strongest interior sense is of a longing for God, a spiritual love that is never quite requited.
Early on, about the age of fifteen, I read a lot of Franciscan literature. I was the only teenager I knew who had a copy of The Little Flowers. Lady Poverty was Francis's mistress, his spiritual lover. He threw himself and his brothers into prayer and work. They preached in the vernacular in the streets, they fed and sheltered and healed the poorest of the poor, embracing outcasts and lepers. They buried the dead. They often went without food, and had inadequate shelter. Looking at the carefully preserved clothing that Francis wore at the end of his life, you can see the many, many mends and patches in his old robe. It was no more than patches on patches, reconstructed out of bits of discarded garments. But it was all he thought he needed.
He challenged the status quo of the mercantile class into which he had been born, and he challenged the status quo of a church grown fat and rich on propitiary offerings.
As I started reading The Long Loneliness, the autobiography of the "legendary Catholic social activist" Dorothy Day, I wrote to a friend who is a priest: "We got to the point today of discussing whether there would be room in the homeless shelter. It is very noble to talk about the Movement, and read Day, and live simply, but Lady Poverty is a stern abbess."
And his answer was: "Yes, 'holy poverty' is often romanticized by those who only imagine it!"
This came out of a conversation with my adopted Australian granddaughter: "The best part of being goth/steampunk/Plain is looking like you came through some rift in the space-time continuum. Shake people up, challenge their reality."
It was a scrambling, cross-purposes, full of unpleasant surprises day. We flailed our arms a bit, shouted "Nuurr-urrgh!" at each other for a few minutes, caught our breath, and prayed. Then asked for prayers and realized prayers. And the prayers were answered. I didn't exactly time it, but it was less than 20 minutes. You know how people say, "All in God's time." Sometimes God's time is now.

Miss India Earth 2013 Sobhita Dhulipala is a big appreciator of Pilates and attributes her fitness-successes to the same.
Many claim that Miss India winners are taught to practise Pilates for the getting the body which can help them at the international pageants. There is a cod-ray of pageant-fans who are totally mad about this. They feel that Miss Indias should also take up the gyms and train themselves like the latina beauties do. While we do not know what Miss India organization promotes or what Miss Indias actually do, and we also do not have much idea about Pilates, we do feel we can share a bit about strength training and how it can be helpful to pageant contestants, especially those who are committed to winning.
- First big advantage about strength training is fat-loss. Yes!
