…about Leigh
I grew up in land-locked Illinois and would ly on the porch swing and think about 'the west'. There was something that kept tugging on me and whispering to me about living where I could look at the water and see the beautiful sunsets. My family moved to Seattle and when I visited, I fell in love with the PNW. My next dream came true, when I found myself on an 'island adventure' and moved to Samish Island in Skagit County… I began my real estate journey shortly after that! I can't imagine ever living away from the PNW. Dreams really do come true…I look at the water and sunsets! All the beauty we have in this area…it gives me great joy to help people discover this area and I hope to help make my clients dreams come true….perhaps their own dream of looking at the water and beautiful sunsets?

I live along the Yellowstone river in Montana. I love being snowed in for several days. It gives me a reason to stop and do some of the things I like best like building crosswords, reading, creating art, and listening to music. Living where I can walk in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark is special for a western history buff like me. Life is good.

Hub Rock: The 10 Best Songs About Boston
This week was not the way you want your city to become the center of global news.
But it's given all Bostonians a chance to reflect on what a truly f*cking cool part of the world we live in, kind of like I think all Americans did after 9-11.
I make fun of Boston and its peculiarities all the time. It's cold, it's expensive and Bostonians are parochial to a fault yet for some reason think they're worldly and sophisticated. Railroad bums from Boston think they're smarter than brain surgeons from Alabama.
But the reality is I'll never leave, because living here is pretty cool.
The Onion last month brilliantly skewered Boston with a story headlined, "Pretty Cute Watching Boston Residents Play Daily Game of 'Big City.'"
Boston is a tiny little parochial Northeastern outpost of 600,000 people on the physical and cultural fringe of the United States. Yet we actually call Boston the Hub – short for Hub of the Universe. No, serious.
Only outsiders call Boston Beantown. We call it the Hub. Google "hub of the universe" and you'll get a map of Boston.
Boston is peculiar in other ways, too, well beyond the accent, the Kennedys and the fact that half our roads have no street signs. People in other cities, for example, prefer things that are young or pretty: ballparks, natural resources, actresses. Bostonians prefer things that are old and dirty.
Think Fenway Park, Boston Harbor or Steven Tyler.
All those quirks make for great music. So, without further cultural navel gazing, here is one Bostonian's list of the 10 best songs about the Hub of the Universe.
10. "For Boston" by The Hold Steady – Not to be confused with "For Boston," the Boston College fight song. The school song is a tribute to the work ethic and character of Boston College's fine, upstanding Irish-Catholic men and woman educated amid the towering Gothic spires of the gorgeous Chestnut Hill campus. The Hold Steady song is about filthy co-eds from the urban sewer of the Boston University campus strung out on Oxy.
And that pretty much sums up the difference between BC and BU.
9. "Boston" by Augustana – What's the deal with California bands and their fascination with Boston? Oh, that's right. California sucks. And Boston rocks. Last we checked, the score was still Celtics 17, Lakers 16. And let's face it, what lovelorn girl looking for a fresh start wouldn't leave scenic Malibu Beach in sun-soaked Southern California for scenic Malibu Beach in Vietnamese flag-draped Dorchester?
8. "She's from Boston" by Kenny Chesney – Boston isn't exactly Nashville when it comes to musical tastes. Yet Chesney bangs out Gillette Stadium acouple times each summer, I'm guessing largely because he penned this tale of a Boston girl who escaped to some Caribbean island and sports a Red Sox cap to hide her baby dreads.
Clearly, a fantastical tale: what decent, Tyler Seguin-banging Boston girl would leave for the sandy tropics when all the roast beef, fried clams and hockey-player sex she'll ever need is right there at Revere Beach?
7. "The Rascal King" by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones – The Boston ska band performed what may have been the genre's biggest national radio hit with an odd tune about famed Irish-American politician James Michael Curley, a.k.a, the Rascal King.
He was mayor of Boston, governor of Massachusetts and a U.S congressman at various points in his career. Oh, and he was more corrupt than a drug mule in a Mexican border town. And in classic Boston fashion, nobody cared because he was OUR crooked mayor. Curley was actually re-elected to City Hall while in prison.
6. "Escape (the Pina Colada Song)" by Rupert Holmes – The ultimate in 1970s cheese, about two bored lovers who search the newspaper classifieds (Craigslist, for you young 'uns) looking for a little excitement.
They end up re-finding each other at a bar called O'Malley's, which sounds a lot like a bar on the Irish Riviera south of Boston.
But mostly, it's a song about drinking and screwing on the beaches of Cape Cod. And it has one of the best lines of the 70s: "I am not much into health food. I am in to champagne"
5. "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" by the Dropkick Murphys – The Dropkicks took an old sailors ditty and turned it into a rocking sports arena anthem.
The first couple heavy bass notes set the tone and by the end ofthe song you wish they'd bring back the old bucket-of-blood Blarney Stone in Fields Corner just so you had a good, decent place to get in a drunken fist fight on a Friday night.
It's a tribute to power of the tune that they play it at sporting events all over the country. There isn't a Steelers fan in the world who wouldn't crawl over hot coals all the way to Foxboro for a chance to punch Tom Brady in the face and knock out a few of those pretty-boy teeth. Yet they still play "Shipping Up To Boston" at Heinz Field.
4. "Roadrunner" by Jonathan Richman & Modern Lovers – Bostonians pride themselves being the home of America's firsts – whether it's the first subway, school, library, or even football game. We even invented punk rock – at least according to some music historians, who credit the genre to Bay State rocker Jonathan Richman and "Roadrunner."
I always thought of it as a quaint little song about Route 128, the ring road around Boston. But then I read a story in the The Guardian of London, who sent a reporter to retrace the journey of Richman's song and its influence on rock history. I never knew the Braintree Split could be so romantic in the rush hour twilight.
3. "Going out in Style" by the Dropkick Murphys – A bawdy, quick-fisted, Irish-Catholic funeral romp through good times, regretful incidents, lovers and old friends with the classic Boston characters we all know in some way: Sluggo, Garvy and Johnny Fitz.
It features a tour of Boston landmarks (Mt. Calvary Cemetery, Fenway Park, Wollaston Beach) and a veritable who's who of local icons, including marble-mouthed Mayor Menino and beloved Bobby Orr, the greatest man who ever lived.
And if you don't agree that Bobby Orr is the greatest man who ever lived, Terry O'Reilly will climb into the stands and punch your f*cking teeth out.
2. "Rock 'n Roll Band" by, you guessed it, Boston, motherf*cker – The original Boston album sold 17 million copies and was the greatest selling debut album of all time before Guns 'n Roses knocked it off the perch. It's full of heavily produced but big, fun bright guitar tunes, including the anthemic "More Than a Feeling."
But "Rock 'n Roll Band" is the shitkicker: an autobiographical tale of local boys from Boston struggling to make ends meet but rocking away the summer on the streets of Cape Cod and in the bars of Rhode Island, where they were discovered by a cigar-chomping record exec.
It's actually illegal to cross the Sagamore Bridge in summertime without Boston's debut album in your iPod or 8-track. Or at least it should be.
1. "Dirty Water" by the Standells – The Standells were a 1960s California band that somehow penned the iconic song about Boston, the one they play at Fenway Park after Red Sox victories and that otherwise gets any group of Bostonians to lock arms and sing drunkenly at the top of their lungs ... even if they're not drunk.
The song captures the Boston zeitgeist perfectly: the girls are uptight, the bars close early, and the water is dirty, yet we're full of bluster about it just the same. Hey, those are OUR uptight broads, this is OUR 1 a.m. last call and that's OUR dirty God-damned water.
I grew up on a Boston Harbor beach and the water was so filthy we'd drive 30 minutes south to Hull just to go swimming without fear of growing a third penis.
For a little insight into Boston's dirty water culture, look up "beach whistle" in your spare time. I played lead tenor in our six-piece Quincy beach-whistle band back in third grade.
With that said, there isn't a Bostonian worth his Larry Bird game jersey who doesn't crank up the radio and dive into "Dirty Water" the second they hear the distinct opening notes of that classic Fender Stratocaster.

Can-Am Spyder with MRA X-creen spoiler blade installed
Posted on Jpm9000000pmMon, 30 Sep 2013 14:26:37 +000013 4, 2016 by TwistedThrottle.com There have been 0 comments
A happy customer shares his experience with the bolt-on MRA X-creen Spoiler Blade.
Here's my Spyder with the X-creen installed. My wife and I are very pleased with the results it has given us. It really reduced the wind noise. She still gets some buffeting but we really haven't experimented with different positions yet, just may be a matter of time before we find the sweet spot.
I tell ya, I was very nervous about drilling my windshield, and now that I did, knowing what I know now I may have mounted it a little lower. I followed the instructions to a T so it ended up a little higher than the windshield, not a bad thing, it just would have been nice if it had ended up at the same level. I know it's probably not meant to be installed on a touring windshield, and I was afraid that it would cause a lot of vibration but I can't tell that it has caused any vibration at all.
Thanks again for a great product and excellent customer service.
You're Welcome!

10 Best Times During The Day To Get High
Any time of the day in the perfect time for a smoke session, but these specific times make the high especially enjoyable.
The question is: When is the best time to catch a buzz? The answer is: Always. There is no wrong time to break away and reach an elevated mindset, but there are certain times of the day when the enjoyment is extra special. Cannabis enhances even the most mundane tasks, making it the perfect pick-me-up to indulge in throughout the day. Maybe don't try all 10 of the best times to get high in one day, or do, either way, a lifted attitude is sure to remain intact.
1. Wake up, bake up
"Begin at the beginning" has always been my motto. The logical choice for kicking a day off correctly? Wake and bake. It sets the tone for the entire day and makes the usual morning routine seem less excruciating. Because tasks like packing lunches, dressing children and ensuring spouses have their coffee and briefcases weren't meant to be completed unaided.
2. Exercising perception
Many people who regularly exercise experience a natural high, caused by endorphins released in the brain. THC is stored in fat cells and as these cells burn during a workout, small amounts of THC are released into the bloodstream, literally enhancing the natural exercise high.
3. Shower power
For some, a few good tunes and the warm flow of a shower head on bare shoulders is an invigorating way to energize muscles and prepare for the day ahead. For others, the shower is a place to weep uncontrollably and wonder how life has led to this point, contemplating if that terrible job is a necessity.
Either way, smoking before a shower leaves users feeling rejuvenated, able to take on the day, whether they're ready to or not.
4. Lunch date
Many of us might only have a 30-minute lunch break to eat and unwind before returning to the hustle and bustle of a busy day. After quickly devouring a meal, many users find a post-lunch smoke is exactly the lift they need to carry them through an especially hard afternoon. A vaporizer would be best for these special occasions, helping to reduce the scent, while still providing a superior high.
5. Returning to the nest
Nothing can compare to the amazing feeling of finally completing another long work day. Once the safety and seclusion of home is reached, decompressing with a potent concentrate is the perfect way to ease an over-worked mind.
6. Netflix and smoke
Streaming services, like Netflix, provide endless hours of entertainment, perfect for a relaxing night in. Most of us enjoy binge watching a new series in three days, while indulging on equal parts cannabis. Something about smoking just increases our investment into characters' lives.
7. Pre-dinner bake up
It's an undisputable fact – food tastes better after catching a buzz. Nothing is better than having the munchies right before a huge meal is presented. A smoke session before dinner is a must-try experience for any cannabis enthusiasts.
8. Post-dinner bake up
Dinner is usually the largest meal of the day and often leaves eaters feeling bloated and lethargic. Indulging in a nicely packed bowl, or an easy-to-smoke blunt, after dinner can help aid in digestion and alleviate any uncomfortableness.
9. Instant arousal
In the female brain, cannabis has been shown to induce the same relaxing chemical reaction associated with climaxing. These chemicals help to reduce anxiety and depression, and, in some cases, can even increase sensitivity. Smoke before the stroke, just saying.
10. Nighty night, sleep tight
Be sure to take a few tokes before drifting off to dreamland. Cannabis can help to achieve a deeper state of REM sleep, an important part of gaining restful hours. A nice indica strain will induce relaxation and ease users into a sleepy state of mind.
What is your favorite time of the day to indulge in cannabis? Let us know on social media or in the comments below.

2008 Mercedes-Benz E350 4MATIC
By on 3/20/13 | Old Greenwich, CT
I bought a Certified Pre Owned E350 from a Benz dealer. Car had 58K miles on it. Received a one year comprehensive warranty through Merdedes Benz. About 10 months into ownership I started hearing what sounded like a tire noise. Took it to dealer, they said one of the tires was "out of round". OK, maybe I hit a pothole. Noise got worse over the next 4-5 weeks. Took it back. Dealer said emergency brake pads inside of rotor drum were falling apart and that was causing noise didn't make any sense since i never use E brake, and there were no lights on. They replaced ebrake pads, road tested car, noise still present. Rear differential is bad. Six to eight weeks to get parts from Germany. Warranty is seven days from expiring. Told me its covered under warranty, and I have new C Class loaner car, which I can't complain about. Not exactly my E Class, but at least I have something to drive. No very happy that this major repair occurred at only 74K miles Previous Benz 2005 C Class, 178K miles no issues. Had also a E class 1994 no issues, 98 S Class no issues, 180K miles.

Love my car. Bought it last year at the certified pre-owned dealer in Arlington, VA. My biggest issue is the fact that this car was supposedly "certified" at 70 percent or better in a number of maintenance categories, yet I have had to bring it to the dealer three or four times already. The latest issue is the brakes. They claim I need front and rear brakes already. Car has 67,000 miles on it. I put 14,000 on it in one year. Regardless, how could this vehicle be "certified" for brakes at 70 % last year and now they are down to nothing? I do only highway driving on weekends, and a mile back and forth to work each day. No stop and go driving. I do not trust this so called "certified pre-owned" BS. And the dealership is not willing to work with me considering the number of issues I have dealt with over the year (mostly minor, but still). And even despite all this, I love my car. I just won't let the dealership do the brake repairs. They want $1,650.

About This Blog
On Saturday, February 9, 2008, it reached its 1000th post and celebrated it's 4th anniversary in the 4th month of the same year, along with Shakespeare's 444th birthday and the election of Barack Obama, America's 44th president.
Still in with the number 4, the blog's design was initially based on my 4 golden rules and the manifesto under which it was run is comprised out of 4 main points, too.
It may also only be coincidence that I was born in the Year of the Rabbit, which is the 4th animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac, with its lucky number as - right you guessed it - 4. And if you believe the numerologists, my destiny number calculated from my full name is also the number 4. Uncanny, huh?
Here's where you'll find bits about me:
Tarkan at Tarkan Deluxe®
Tarkan is a singer of my generation. I'm an admirer of his works, but not a fan in the sense that this blog is for him or to idolise him. All information pertaining to the star is to help those non-Turkish speaking fans find out more about the artist and his works.Tarkan Deluxe was part of a body of work spanning four blogs (including this one) and spread over nearly a decade of helping Tarkan fans find Tarkan, with contributions from fans, journalists, magazine editors, authors, etc,.
Here's where you'll find bits about Tarkan:
The World at Tarkan Deluxe®
And finally, as no human is an island unto themselves, so, too, contributions from others and news around the world now and again took part in the drama that was Tarkan Deluxe.

My scale for nail polish love goes something like this:
Coral: Oh hey, you're pretty. You should probably get on my fingers.
Edgy neutral: I love you. You make me happy on the inside.
Olive green: Full-on nail polish boner (or an NPB, if you will).
This olive is gorgeous. As in, holy shit, it just rocketed into one of the top ten polishes I'd want with me on a desert island (what a silly scenario). This is like the perfect fusion of gold and green, and...it's sparkly. It's just so pretty. I keep scrolling up as I'm writing this to look at pictures of my own hands. That's how much I love this. The formula was fine; I used two coats here. The brush was wide...wider than the OPI pro-wide, but not as wide and weirdly shaped as Sally Hansen Insta-Dris. If you like green or gold or olive, get your hands on this polish. Or, more appropriately, get this polish on your hands. You will not regret this $8-purchase, I promise.
As this post goes up I'll be almost to Detroit. I'm going with my friends in the morning to wander around the Detroit Institute of Arts, and then meet up with my seminar class in the afternoon to have a tour of the current exhibition. I'm pretty excited to go because this is there. I have a new obsession with James McNeill Whistler. Ever since I learned he wrote a book called The Gentle Art of Making Enemies. What a badass. I will try to remember my camera so I can take some pictures and post them later, but I will have gotten up at 6 in order to beat rush hour traffic out of Cleveland, so I don't even know if I'll be awake enough to put on pants let alone remember a camera. I usually get up at 9:15ish, so 6 is a little early for me. But it'll be a nerdtastic fun art day, that's for sure!
Opinons on Euro Green? Is it giving anyone else an NPB or is it just me?

NaNo Starts at Midnight
In order to get off to a great start with NaNo, I decided to take the first week of November as vacation and come to Carmel-by-the-Sea in order to work on my novel. This has been a great idea. This place is AWESOME and my novel will take place here in Carmel. I knew it would be a small, seaside, romantic sort of place...and here it is...I am sooo happy. Went for a walk around the town today, ate a great Italian Bistro, and am planning a night of relaxing and getting ready to write...starting at MIDNIGHT!!
Happy Halloween....to all you writers out there...may you get some great material for your characters tonight!!

"Any fool can know. The point is to understand."
~Albert Einstein
As a kid, math seemed like a foreign language to me. I remember being mystified … and NOT in a GOOD way … about the concept of fractions. And, quite frankly, my mastery of basic facts was shoddy. Although that was YEARS ago, those helpless feelings remain vivid in my memory. It's funny. Who would have EVER thought that I would grow to LOVE something SO much when it all seemed so ELUSIVE to me as a child?
I've had the blessing of being a teacher for almost thirty years now. WHERE did THAT time go?!? Over the span of nearly three decades, I've worked with children who are just as stymied and fearful of math as I was … and … OTHERS who just have a SENSE, an AMAZING understanding, of how to make numbers work for THEM. That ability to see patterns and RIP numbers apart. And, what's MORE, the confidence in themselves to persevere UNTIL they have found their way around a problem to arrive at a suitable solution.
While I don't profess to understand HOW that happens, I DO know that the "new", but really NOT so new, discovery-based method of exploring mathematical concepts IS a BLESSING. The beauty of math is the ability to seek and discover patterns. It is a magical way of making sense. And … if you DON'T understand the "formula" or "algorithm" in the FIRST place … it is NEVER going to be a logical way of thinking for you, for me … for our children.
I don't remember being exposed to the freedom to play with numbers … or problems, for that matter, as a child. The beauty of the "new, not so new" way of learning math, through discovery and multiple perspectives in arriving at solutions, is the flexibility in thinking. There is often more than one way to find your answer. Sometimes the path is long and winding … sometimes it is efficient. If you don't understand the "reasoning" behind short and efficient … then you are NOT in control of your thinking. The ability to make PERSONAL sense … the idea that a little struggle, making mistakes, understanding and explaining your thought process … IS a good thing because it EMPOWERS our learners as thinkers who UNDERSTAND the process with OR without the "formula".
This "new" way of looking at math doesn't mean that the foundational skills are thrown out, like the baby with the bath water. Those foundational skills are CRITICAL and provide the confidence we ALL need in order to be able to effectively approach "mental math" by ripping numbers apart in our heads. I will be forever grateful to my Grandparents, who spent an entire summer working with me to master my "basic facts". That, in itself, helped to "open the mathematical door" just a crack. Teaching helped to throw the door WIDE open! While it sounds like SUCH a trivial thing, I am TERRIBLY proud of the fact that I no longer rely on my CALCULATOR to tally the monthly book orders! What I know AND understand about numbers, patterns, rounding and calculating has made me COMPLETELY self-sufficient in this area!
I'm not deluded enough to think that ALL my students will become mathematicians. But, I am hopeful that they learn to love the "process". Sharing their thinking with others, being exposed to a variety of methods for arriving at a solution … from using concrete manipulatives, to drawing pictures, to making tables or T-charts or solving it in the "traditional" style with an equation … these experiences ALL help us to "make meaning".
"You don't understand anything until you learn it more than one way."
~Marvin Minsky
My BIGGEST dream? That my seven and eight year old wonders no longer SEE themselves, at SUCH a young age, as "no good in math".
"We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it
than we do from learning the answer itself."

Taylor Bennett drew in a huge crowd as he got on the JBTV Stage and put on a fantastic show. Born and raised in Chicago's South Side, Bennett said he was was ecstatic to be performing at "a staple venue for up and coming musicians from Chicago". Bennett sure gave us an incredible show, performing a whopping 12 songs and bringing along two guest performers, Supa Bwe and Brandon Fox. Bennett ended his performance with a touching a capella rendition of Straight From the Bottom.
After his show, Bennett had a chance to sit down with Jerry and ShowYouSuck for an exclusive interview. He talked about how he got into music, the meaning behind some of his is songs, Chicago, and how important family is to him. Bennett cited Twista as the rapper who inspired him to become a musician. Bennett wanted to speak to people and empower them, just like Twista did for him as a young child. Twista came from Chicago as well, making him relatable to Bennett. The "quality and love that Twista pours into his songs" touched Bennett, who even sang a little bit of Twista's hit Hope.
Demon Slayer is one of Bennett's first songs. He sings about what it's like to be from the South Side of Chicago, and how he needed to get to "that next level". The door was locked, and this song was me talking to the door, "You are locked right now, but I'll get through you". Bennett is proud of Chicago and even compared it to the Renaissance, "Chicago is a great place to be. I'd rather be nowhere else". Many influential rappers came from this great city, and Bennett said he, "had to get Chicago in my corner before I could make it elsewhere. Chicago gave me my chance."
Bennett talked about how important his family is to him. His brother, Chance the Rapper, has given him priceless evidence throughout the years, which is "worth more than any money in the world" Bennett said. His family was always supportive, even saying that his dad would be "The Hand of the King if this were Game of Thrones". Bennett invites his family to all of his shows and JBTV was no different. He wants them to know that anything is possible, that you can come up straight from the bottom, "That's what being a Bennett is; doing it yourself" Taylor said.

Don't forget that Sidux is Debian Sid under the hood, which means you don't get security updates, and you may encounter problems with using bleeding-edge packages.
There is a fromiso boot option, which means you can boot directly from the Sidux ISO image on your hard drive, instead of burning it a CD. This is a very fast way to run Sidux without installing it. There are also instructions for installing it to a USB device, and for VirtualBox and QEMU.
The Sidux community is active and growing, with lots of support and good energy. In a couple of weeks of hard use I haven't found any showstoppers, so I give Sidux a big thumbs-up.

I just realized my last post of any substance (i don't count memes as substantial) was 12 days ago!
So, we're off to my parents' place in Jersey and I still have to pack for myself, j, and the animals and we're leaving as soon as J gets home from work. It will be our first roadtrip with both pets. Besides their constant fighting like cats and dogs (ha ha, I kill me!), they both have eccentric car personalities. Zoe yowls like a human infant and sniffles for a good portion of the ride. She's also persists in sneaking by me onto the dashboard, or better yet near the brade pedal. Miles secretly throws up. Secret because I keep an eye on him, but don't notice until the ride is over. Needless to say, no knitting will be accomplished.
Update: Zoe did in fact yowl the entire way and Miles secretly threw up on the return trip to CT. Other than that, endless holiday traffic, and night and rain descending on us at about 4pm, the ride was a success!In checking out my last entry, I actually laughed out loud at everything I thought I could finish before the holidays. Talk about overzealous. What I seemed to forget is that amongst all the crafting, there's always something that gets in the way. The little thing like work, sleep, cooking dinner, shopping for last minute gifts, watching Grey's Anatomy. You know, the important stuff.
Despite my utter defeat, here's where I stand:
Homeade Cards - Storebought cards sent - i did emboss them, though! FINISHED
Beau, J's holiday sweater - *so* close to finishing up the sleeves (now that's a broken record). Front and Back blocked and awaiting seaming. I forgot how long sleeves take - especially man sleeves. it's like knitting a whole other front and back. grrr. Here's where it stands now (with sneak peak of the Weekender Bag):
(that's the cat kneading the sweater pieces. She likes to chew on the sweater while kneading - I think she's a freak cat)
Update: Sweater - finito and worn on Christmas (I finished sewing the buttons on about 30 minutes before we left for the holiday party, but that's not important). Hubby looked damn fine sporting the new FO!
SIL Legwarmers - 1.5 complete. Already had gift exchange and promised them next week. Oops. I'm a terrible secret santa. 1.75 complete
Gift Tags - Handmade and more importantly, FINISHED!! Check it -
Sweater Ornaments - I forgot them were on my list until I reread my entry. That sums it up.
Weekender Bag #2 - Fabric arrived....yeah, that's all. No shock with this one, though.
Update - The fabric choice was a surprise to my sister. She asked for the sunbloom fabric I used for my bag, but I soon discovered it was discontinued (what a bummer, huh - I had plans for many of the designs). I checked high and low and finally broke the news to her. She suggested I just choose a fabric. I was finally ordering the fabric and noticed a website I overlooked on Amy's site (we're on a first name basis, obviously) that had the fabric!! I was ecstatic, but kept the news to myself until xmas morning. So, yes, I'm basically making the exact same bag again.
Cookies - One batch. okay.
Orange Hat - What hat? That's not really a holiday gift, more of a winter gift, so no guilt with this one! I'm eyeying this as a potential pattern.
Wow, what a sad list. My new goal? Finish J's sweater for xmas. Yay! Success!
If I don't check in sooner, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!
Update - Hope everyone had a happy holiday! We're back in Connecticut now, but are leaving for Jersey again tomorrow morning, spending a few days there, then off to DC to partay like rocktars with some college buds. If I don't pop back on here, have a safe and happy new year!
PS - FO reports coming soon for Beau and the Weekender Bag.

BLOOMINGTON, IND. — Pulling the family station wagon to a curb beside the rain-soaked Indiana University campus, Sophia Cerovsek beams at her son Corey, waves him off to an afternoon class in advanced mathematical analysis, then worries, ``Oh dear, I should have pulled a brush through his hair.`` She calls after him, ``If I`m late, wait in the bookstore. Don`t stand in the rain.`` Corey smiles knowingly and flashes a mouthful of metal.
This is one young man with one busy schedule. Besides Indiana (where he is rushing through graduate level work with a perfect 4.0 average), he is completing high school courses by mail. His braces come off in May, when he flies to Venice to portray the young Vivaldi in a movie. This summer, he is booked for two weeks of master classes in Geneva with violinist Nathan Milstein. He also will appear at Expo `86 in Vancouver and this weekend he doffs his sweatshirt, wash pants and gray sneakers to don formal attire, join his violin teacher Josef Gingold and perform Bach`s ``Double Concerto for Two Violins`` with the Lake Forest Symphony in the Drake Theater of Barat College. Eyes sparkling and poised, Corey Cerovsek knows his way around books, libraries, computers, artificial intelligence systems, probability theory, statistics, linear algebra and orchestral humor, a category that, he says, includes a joke about an orchestra leader so terrible he was sentenced to the electric chair. The chair failed to work, reports Corey, with enough knowledge of physics to mount a pun, because the man ``was a non-conductor.``

It has been a very hectic week because of school, so this dinner at my boyfriend's place had helped me relaxed quite a bit. It was a night of good food and laughter.
Main course: Beef and mushroom angel hair pasta.
Chef: Aunty Dorice.
Dessert: Durians, yum-o!
Treat from: Jasmine and Jeff.
I was a very satisfied and happy girl after all that food. 🙂

The National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force celebrated the event by hosting a mass enlistment of new U.S. Air Force airmen (and women). The museum was filled with special exhibits and tour guides that related the great history that the facility houses. A model airplane building class was also on store for budding modellers. Good luck to the new recruits!

The crib has been officially purchased and should get here by Wednesday of next week. There isn't anywhere to put it yet…..but it's here. Click here to see what it looks like
Months to go: 3
Items bought for the baby's room:
- Ducky Wallborder
- Paint (in Flat Yellow)
- Primer (to paint the panelling)
- Ducky Wall Hangings
- New Light for room (I can't find a picture of it online)
- Ducky Valance
- Sheer White Panel Curtains
- New mini blind
- Spackling to cover creases in the panelling
Items still needed:
See previoius entry for the baby registries. I think that's a good start for now. We still need to get a new rug for the room…currently there is this horrible khaki colored shag carpet circa 1975. I have to wait until the room is cleared out so I can measure for how much we will need. I have been trying to sync my Ipod to my WinXP (w/ newly downloaded SP 2) machine and am not having much luck. At first I was having drivers problems, now that I have that all cleared up the Ephpod website is down and I don't feel like using crappy Itunes because it will make me format the Ipod. All I am trying to do is get some classical music loaded so the baby can enjoy it. I heard that playing classical music might stimulate the baby.
Its hot and I'm tired. Time to go.
Happy Damn Birthday
Happy Damn Birthday Russell. My brother is turning 18 today. Can you believe that? I feel like an old person. Even though him and I are only 6 years apart. Someone keeps getting to my site by searching Google for "Russell Hryvnak". I didn't realize that Russell Hryvnak was such a popular Google search, but apparently is, because I get a few hits for it a week. Someone is a psycho stalker if you ask me.
At work, they have replaced all of the vending machines…including the snack and soda machines. I guess they have gone with a different company. The stuff in the snack machines are pretty much the same, but the soda machines have gone to shit. Apparently this new vending company does not believe in Coke at all. All of the machines have Pepsi and that's it. The old soda machine also used to have Mountain Dew and the new machines don't have any of that either. Apparently they all want us to go ballistic and go on strike or something. No Coke is a tragedy. Small Hint: If you want your employees to do more work, you want them to be more caffeinated. Not to say that Coke is more caffeinated than Pepsi or Mountain Dew, but if people don't like Pepsi, they aren't going to drink it. THERE IS NO COKE IN THE SODA MACHINE ANYMORE WHAT KIND OF COMPANY IS THIS….OH THE HUMANITY I will calm down now I promise.
The Farmers Market and St. Al's Bazaar are going on today. I already hit up the farmers market on lunch and bought a half dozen of corn. I am not sure what night we are going to the bazaar though. Thank god tomorrow is Friday is all I can say. My back has been killing me all week which has made it almost impossible for me to get out of bed. I thought I had a brilliant idea last night by sleeping on top of a regular pillow. Yeah that didn't work out to well…. I woke up with a sore back and a stiff neck. Thank god for Icy Hot!!! If anyone has any brilliant ideas as to how to sleep properly when pregnant, I'm all ears!

Nowadays it's important to people that they can track their online purchases from warehouse to their door. Most websites either have extra for this service or don't offer it at all. When I came across this website when pricing a heart rate monitor, not only was I pleased to find the model at such a good price, or that the delivery was free due to my order being more than (only) €40, but included AS STANDARD was order tracking with the courier! The order was with me in the time expected, in top condition and works as advertised. I have directed many of my fitness friends to this website and have encouraged them to use it for their purchases (at least 1 has already ordered and received their product) and are equally as happy as I am. 10/10 on all aspects of service, product (Polar FT7F) and ease of use on the website. Looking forward to ordering again the future.
Can't believe how fast this arrived. Ordered on Monday evening and it arrived Tuesday afternoon!! Have uploaded all my info onto the watch and it works fine. Will be using it for the 1st time in the gym tonight and it looks very easy to use. Excellent service
This product does just as it says and is perfect for what I require it for.

Sweet Baby James
Well, there is a young cowboy he lives on the range
His horse and his cattle are his only companions
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons
Just waiting for Summer, his pastures to change
The River
You know a dream is like a river
Ever changin' as it flows
And a dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores
Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away.
Piano Man
t's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Making love to his tonic and gin
He says, "Son can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet
And I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"
Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright
Interested in becoming a partner?

Hardus, Sunette shine in Split
- Updated: September 6, 2010
By Mark Etheridge
It was left to our javeliners to spearhead the South African contribution at the IAAF/VTB Bank Continental Cup track and field competition in Split, Croatia at the weekend.
Commonwealth champion Sunette Viljoen got things underway with her 62.21 metre effort on Saturday when she was good for second spot behind Russian Maria Abakumova's 68.14 championship record.
Viljoen was the star of the South Africans in action for the African team on Saturday and both her and fellow Commonwealth champion Elizna Naude (seventh in the discus) both commented on the quickness of the throwing circle. "I felt the wind was bad over my left shoulder," said Naude. "And that circle was extremely fast, slippery I'd say and no-one really did their best. Everybody struggled with the circle but otherwise I enjoyed and I must say that Split is awesome."
Sunday's heroics were left up to Viljoen's fellow javeliner Hardus Pienaar. He came up with his best effort in four years to emulate Viljoen's silver achievement.
Indeed his 83.17m throw, produced with his final throw, was the first time he'd beaten the 80m barrier in two years. He also had throws of 76.93 and 78.00m. His personal best is the 84.50m he threw in Hyderabad seven years ago.
Predicatably yesterday's winner was Norway's Andreas Thorkildsen, the Olympic and world champion landing at 89.26m.
The other South Africans in action didn't fare as well. Sprinter Estie Wittstock took seventh in the 200 (24.05sec) behind Russia's Aleksandra Fedoriva's 22.86 and in the men's discus Victor Hogan's only successful effort of 54.86 saw him bringing up the field as Germany's Robert Harting (66.85m) took the honours.
The Africa team ended third in the continental competition with 292 points. Europe, nine points down to the Americas after Saturday's first day of competition, went on to win with 429 points to 419.5 and Asia-Pacific brought up the rear with 286.5.
Home town girl Blanka Visic provided one of the highlights of the competition with a season-best equalling 2.05m in the high jump.
Judging by todays newspaper reports some of the currently selected Common Wealth Team members did not fair that great either.
Incidently Hardus is joint 2nd on the Commonwealth (I don't know where such rankings exist so I looked at the IAAF website) rankings with the top ranked athletes performance having registered in February this year. But the amazing thing is that the number 1 and number 2 in the Commonwealth competed with him at the Continental Cup and he beat them both. Go check the rankings of you don't believe me. Jarrod Bannister threw 79.99 and Stuart Farquar threw 78.29m at the Champs in Split. But their rankings indicate their best at 85.35 and 83.17. Once again SASCOC and ASA the proof is in the pudding. I cannot wait to see you explain your way out of this one! And all your backers quoted in the articles where they say they are tired of passengers and that they commend you on your bold step. Now explain! Hardus thank you for opening this can of worms. Are we saying that all the athletes in the top 10 in the commonwealth are not in better shape than their opponents? Are we saying that we are prepared to leave behind athletes with a realistic chance of medalling to teach them a lesson. What is the objective Mr. Strict School Prncipal who does not respect the council of respected coaches and people who know the sport? SASCOC were presented a plan by a young Cape Town based docotor at their indaba in Durban a few years ago. I dont think they heard a word presented to them. They have their plan and they must account for it when it fails.
Well done Hardus!! I saw Hardus throw when he was still injured and forced by Richard Stander to throw in the simple winter meets or else not been selected. He took 1 attemp, got a 74m, and did not throw further in the competition for fear of aggravating the injury. Hardus got silver in Kenia, he might have got Gold if he wasn't forced to throw while in rehab. Now he has shown what he can deliver when fit. We are happy with you Hardus and at the same time sad that through burocrasy you will not be able to fight for gold in Delhi !
Sorry Hardus - you are a passenger!...No Commonwealth for you even though this effort pushes you up the rankings. SASCOC and ASA don't think that you deserve to go because you are not a medal potential...lol Let's hear the explaination for this one...We are raising the bar???? What bar? The bar has been raised several times in one season. You will now probably be told that you are unfortunately late in your effort to qualify. By the way well done Hardus - you are an example of what a true South African athlete can deliver and you follow in the traditional footsteps of former World Champion Marius Corbett and 2006 Commonwealth Champion Robert Oosthuizen amongst others. We are proud of you and look forward to you being consistent in the 80's before launching that javelin at the 90m mark in 2012. That's if they think you are good enough.

In 2005, four of the state's top-five football prospects went out of state. Meanwhile, college basketball's grip on Tobacco Road remains strong. "North Carolina is probably always first and foremost going to be a basketball school," said North Carolina quarterback Matt Baker, "but there's no reason football can't be up closer." Since coach Mack Brown left the Tar Heels for Texas after the 1997 season, North Carolina's ACC schools have a total of five winning conference records.

It was perhaps inevitable that Novak Djokovic would not be able to sustain his excellence for ever. Having won four of the previous six grand slam championships, the world No1 was widely expected to beat Roger Federer in their semi-final but he performed considerably below his usual standards and after crashing out in four sets admitted uncharacteristic errors at key moments had been his downfall.
Usually such a precise player, Djokovic hit 21 unforced errors and none was more costly than the remarkable missed overhead to hand Federer two break points when he was serving at 5-4 down in the third set. Djokovic never recovered. "I had ups and downs throughout the match," the defending champion said. "Unfortunately the one that lasted for 15 or 20 minutes at the end of the third and the beginning of the fourth cost me the win. I played one bad game and that cost me.
"You have to be consistent. I wasn't. In the start of the fourth set I dropped in energy levels. I played a couple of sloppy games. Very slow, with no pace. Very low percentage of first serves. When you don't have free points from the first serve, it's very difficult to get control of the match when you have an opponent like Federer."
Although Djokovic suggested he had not been feeling well for the "last five, six days", he praised Federer for an outstanding performance. "He played well," said Djokovic. "He was the better player. In the important moments he was aggressive, hitting from both sides.
"Obviously that's what you expect when you play against Roger in the final four of a grand slam. I expected him to be at the top level but I expected myself to be as well. He served well. High percentage of first serves and really good precision and he was aggressive on his second. What I did wrong was my first shot after the serve. I missed a lot of those, I didn't move as fast as I was supposed to."
Last year belonged to Djokovic but 2012 has been tougher. Although he beat Rafael Nadal in the final of the Australian Open in January, he missed the chance to become the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to hold all four majors at the same time when he lost to the Spaniard in the French Open final. Now he will be unable to defend the title he won here last year but he said he has nothing to complain about.
"Comparing to last year, people would say this year is not that great," he said. "It's normal. It's really difficult to repeat what I have done last year and I didn't expect myself to do that.Every year is different. I feel good about myself. Confidence is there. I just need to continue working hard."
Given Federer's history at Wimbledon, victory on Centre Court can never truly be labelled an upset and it is that history that makes Djokovic view him as the favourite for tomorrow's final.
Djokovic will not be watching, even though Federer will take his No1 ranking if he wins. "There's nothing I can do about it," he said. "The best player will win this tournament. I'm out. Now I will cheer for my holidays in the next 10 days." Then come the Olympics. Wimbledon has not seen the last of Djokovic this summer.

Extreme poverty is violence (Video 8')
At the initiative of ATD Fourth World Movement, over one thousand people from five continents, who face the violence of poverty every day, shared their pain, their resistance and their initiatives. They shared their knowledge and their proposals with academics, public officials and others active in this field.
This film presents the violence of contempt, of being considered useless, of seeing ones rights to learn, to decent housing, to healthcare, to family life being endlessly violated. Sometimes it is aid itself which is so maladjusted that it becomes violent.
Breaking this silence concerns us all. It starts by recognising the courage of those who resist this violence and supporting their efforts. Because these men and women struggle tirelessly to build peace.
You can use this video for an event on October 17. It is a good tool to get into the international theme of this World Day for Overcoming Poverty.

As a left-wing activist in the 1970s and 80s, I found that working-class people who voiced concerns about law and order were generally dismissed as right wing. Law and order did not fit in well with class politics. Many recognised that the imposition of punishment was not primarily intended to deter criminals and it fell unfairly on those sections of society 'whose socially disadvantaged position makes them volatile, disaffected and thus threatening' (1). As such, serious criticism of judicial punishment has been left to academic studies such as The Philosophy of Punishment by Anthony Ellis, a perfect introduction to a knotted subject.
In a 1998 essay, The Prison on the Continent, Patricia O'Brien charted the role of incarceration in punishment throughout Europe, from 1865 to 1965. She illustrated just how difficult it is to find a justification for punishing the criminal. And even in the twenty-first century, a satisfactory answer has not been found.
The question of whether punishment is justified is not simply an academic one. We can look at any democratic system and find that there is no uniform approach to punishment and that many different approaches run in tandem. As these approaches become part of overall policy, expressed in diverse sentences handed down by the courts, some individual sentences will be seen as harsh (for example, some of those pertaining to the 2011 riots) while others may be deemed to be too lenient. There remains, then, confusion over sentencing as well as a need to justify criminal punishment.
Ellis's book is an ideal guide to the many forms that the justification for criminal punishment have taken. In asking the question, 'why does society punish those who break its laws?', Ellis takes us through the many theories put forward to justify punishment. In doing so, he finds that many approaches are not supported by empirical evidence.
Ashe points out, when it comes to justifying punishment there are two main approaches: internalist and externalist. The internalist theory tells us that punishment is justified because the criminal deserves to suffer. This is what Ellis refers to as the 'Simple Desert Theory' or retributivist approach. Essentially there are two aspects to this approach: the first states that the criminal deserves to suffer and the second says that suffering should be in proportion to the 'moral gravity of the offence'. We can suppose that retributivist thinking is behind the recent raft of new criminal offences such as the mandatory life sentences for anyone committing a second serious violent or sexual crime, as well as new offences,such as aggravated possession of a knife. But Ellis rejects the 'Simple Desert Theory' on the grounds that it fails to explain why the offender deserves to suffer.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 01, 2012
One Thing is for Certain - Losing 190 Pounds is a Team Effort.
For patients who undergo weight loss surgery to rid themselves of a long battle with obesity and failed diets, the same question presents itself - "Do I have to give up real food forever?"
Recent public figures that have undergone weight loss surgery such as comedian Lisa Lampinelli, New York Jets coach Rex Ryan, Real Housewives of New Jersey castmates (and father and daughter) Al and Lauren Manzo, are all asked the same question - "Aren't you going to miss eating good food?" After weight loss surgery, are you chained to a life of steamed vegetables and grilled chicken forever?
A patient of Dr. Paul T. Cirangle of Laparoscopic Associates of San Francisco (LapSF) that lost 190 pounds asked himself the same question. Looking for another creative way to reach patients, between the patient, Dr. Cirangle, and his practice dietitian, "Café Frisco" was born. Launched today, "Café Frisco" is the first-ever online gourmet recipe blog specifically tailored to weight loss surgery patients. This was created to give patients another resource for eating healthy and to dispel the myth that eating high-quality, delicious food is over. Not only are the recipes weight loss surgery friendly, the photography of the food is amazing. The mere photo of the Chinese chicken salad would turn a vegetarian back to meat.
Having various resources, options for everyday living and multi-disciplined one-on-one attention is standard practice for Dr. Cirangle's patients. Although this approach to weight loss surgery aftercare is unique, Dr. Cirangle insists that it is key in long-term success. According to Dr. Cirangle, "Post-weight loss surgery strategies are not one size fits all. Developing an individualized plan works because it is designed to fit with the patients' lifestyle, health issues and personal goals. Coming up with a personalized plan only happens by getting to really know the patients and what makes them tick. Losing 100 pounds and completely changing your way of life is a team effort. Doing it alone just doesn't work. I may be the head coach, but you also need your teammates. That may mean you need help navigating food labels for the first time, advice on how to handle an office environment that revolves around food, or out-of-the-box ideas to stay fit. One of our employees set up a makeover day and a photo session. I've seen handmade cards made by an employee being sent to patients congratulating them for achieving a goal. We know your name, that your kid is in karate, that you work a graveyard shift and what kind of dog you have."
Dr. Cirangle expects "Café Frisco" will be extremely popular with his patients. Yet he also hopes that people who are considering weight loss surgery can see firsthand that you can still lose 100-plus pounds, be healthy, and not feel like you are on a miserable diet that never ends. New recipes will be featured weekly on the blog, along with detailed nutritional analysis and the aforementioned outstanding photography.
Dr. Paul T. Cirangle is an international leader in bariatrics, as well as a pioneer of the vertical sleeve gastrectomy. Widely known as the "Weight Loss Surgeon of the Athletes", he is also a philanthropist and and uses his private practice, Laparoscopic Associates of San Francisco, to promote awareness and support for dog rescue organizations and LGBT rights. He is a fellowship-trained surgeon and has the largest case series of vertical sleeve gastrectomy procedures in the world.
Dr. Cirangle advises that anyone interested in the vertical sleeve gastrectomy or other weight-loss surgery procedures should research the options beforehand and should only consult a fellowship-trained surgeon with proven experience and expertise in the procedure preferred. Laparoscopic Associates of San Francisco is a boutique bariatric practice with offices in Northern and Central California, as well as Hawaii.

I only started my business a month and a half ago. Lol, I'm not gonna become a millionaire overnight or have the whole thing automated just yet. I'm working a job because (1) I need to fund my busines and (2) I need FU money, as all the income my biz produces is going to be reinvested along with a part of my salary.
You can be sure that I'll quit my job once I'm certain this business is sustainable and scalable.

How to Grow Poppies
|Icelandic Poppy
|Oriental Poppy
|Corn Poppy
How to grow Poppies
There are three main types of poppy commonly grown are illustrated above, Icelandic Poppy, Oriental and Corn Poppy. Although they are all poppies they have very different frowing requirements.
There are around 70 species of Poppy but only a few are commonly planted in our gardens. Firstly the annual poppies, such as Field poppy, which is the red poppy often seen in the wild and is also known as the corn poppy. These look lovely in the wild and wildflower settings with swathes of bright red. Recently, the annual ladybird poppy has become popular, not dissimilar to the field poppy but with ladybird type markings. There are two popular perennial poppies; Icelandic and Oriental. Common characteristics of Poppies is that they are generally easy to grow
Icelandic and Oriental Poppies tend to prefer soil on the dry side, which is well drained, and with plenty of sun. The image below left , the exotic blue poppy in the called Meconopsis, common name Himalayan Blue Poppy, which likes cool shady conditions with a damp well drained soil. It is a beautiful Poppy for tips on growing Himalayan Blue. However it is the exception to the rule that poppies are easy to grow as Meconopsis is considered difficult to grow, thriving only in cooler areas in the North of Britain and Scotland. Suited to woodland settings and damp conditions it is important that this type of poppy does not dry out.
Image top left is the Icelandic poppy , although not from Iceland it developed from a species originating in cold arctic areas and as such Icelandic poppies do prefer cool growing conditions and are fully hardy, a smaller poppy growing upwards to 30cms or 12". A biennial and self seeder which flowers are short lived and blooms are yellow, white, and orange. It is very colourful and makes a great splash of colour in the border. Easy to grow as it self seeds it just reappears in borders from year to year.
Centre and bottom left is Papaver Orientale, the oriental poppy, which in fact originates from Turkey and Iran and is a big blousy poppy with lots of style and colour, and also very easy to grow. It has much larger flowers and is a perennial which reliably comes up year after year. It will tolerate a damper soil than the other two varieties. Whereas some poppies are annuals and bi annuals, the Oriental Poppy is perennial bringing colour to the garden year after year. It flowers late spring to early summer with each stem supporting one large flower. This poppy also likes sun to flower well, but otherwise is not fussy about conditions. The oriental poppy can get quite large large flower heads can be a bit floppy with a risk it will overlay other plants if not staked. The Oriental poppy is a keen seeder and you will soon have other clumps emerging.
The one down side is that the leaves die back on the Oriental Poppy after flowering which can leave a gap in the border. To cover this the Poppy can be grown with Alchemilla, common name Lady's mantle, which produces attractive frothy sprays of foliage which would help to conceal the die back. One word of caution is that Alchemilla is a vigorous self seeder and can be difficult to contain. It is possible to get a second flush of flowers by cutting back the flower stems on Papaver Orientale as soon as it has flowered, cut right back to the ground level.Oriental poppies are suitable for the middle of the border, medium heis might around 45cm - 90cms. Oriental poppies are easy to grow and reliable flowering plants.
The image on the top right is P.rhoeas also known as Corn Poppy, Field Poppy, and Flanders Poppy which is the familiar bright red poppy. This type of Poppy prefers well drained, poorish soil which is in full sun. As an annual it has to be sown each year, from March to May on soil which is well raked to fine soil and seed directly into the soil. As with all seeds, ensure that the tiny seedlings do not dry out. Poppies will self seed but not always reliable it is very dependant on the growing conditions.
