Clean Rite, Inc. offers a variety of services that will handle the needs
in your home or business. Click on one of the following services for more
Carpet and Rug Cleaning
We use the newest and latest technology to steam clean your carpet. It begins
with a pre-spray chemical that loosens and dissolves any dirt and grime deep
within the fibers. And a deodorizer is applied to eliminate odors during the
cleaning process.
The wand will apply the exact amount of mild detergent, water and heat needed
to clean your carpet. The carpet gets raked in order to fluff the fibers and
speed up the drying time. When cleaning an area rug, we can clean it in your
home if there is an available hard-surface space for it to dry.

Upholstery Cleaning
Clean Rite's upholstery tools use a cleaning technology that will clean your
upholstery better, faster and get it dried quicker. Rather than a spray jet,
the tools release solution in a constant, concentrated stream that powers
through soil quickly, leaving behind virtually no residual moisture. Your
fabric will be 50% drier than conventional upholstery cleaning methods. We can
also clean your boat, vehicle or camper interior!
Hard Surface Tile Cleaning
Clean Rite is also available to clean the tile on your floors, walls or counters!
With the high pressure and temperature, the specially formulated grout cleaning
solution penetrates the soil, loosening and lifting it away without etching the
grout! Your tile and grout will look nearly new!! This service is only available
for seamless and unsealed tile and grout: ceramic, porcelain, terrazzo and more!
(excludes vinyl, linoleum or hard wood, etc.)
Air Duct Cleaning
Want better indoor air quality? Have your air ducts cleaned! Our powerful system
uses a brush and vacuum method and is completely safe for flex duct. We will
remove all of your registers, clean them and reinstall them looking like new.
Every duct from the registers to the main supply lines will be cleaned. Plus we
can get into attics, crawlspaces and other hard-to- reach locations. You can
have your air ducts fogged with a disinfectant for an additional fee.
Water Extraction
Clean Rite, Inc. is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergency water
extraction when you have a leaky basement or even a broken pipe. We offer
anti-microbial spray to help prevent mold and bacteria from growing.
Equipment Rental
We rent commercial grade fans and dehumidifiers. Our high-tech dehumidifiers are
available to rent for only $100 per day! It will remove up to 15 gallons per day,
and includes a hose for easy draining. It also uses minimal electricity to get
your home dryer faster for less! Our fans can be rented for only $35 per day!
They have many features including extra-large inlets to increase airflow and 2
speeds. The fans tilt to 45 or 90 degrees for fast drying.
Pet Odor Removal
We offer a treatment for pet odor removal on any carpet or upholstery. Before
cleaning, we spray a pre-conditioner that helps knock down odors while it breaks
up and liquifies urine deposits for fast removal during decontamination. After
cleaning we spray a permanent pet odor removal chemical. It contains
enzyme-producing bacteria that digest the organic waste matter, destroying urine
odors at their source for permanent odor removal. When the area is deeply soiled,
we may need to return to your home a second time for another dose of treatment, FREE!
Deep Soil Filtration
When your carpets have a dark line around the baseboard, they will require a deep
soil filtration treatment. The chemical we use will lift the soil away from your
carpet fibers for easy cleaning leaving behind no residue that would eventually cause
re-soiling. Please point this out to our technicians if this is an area you are
concerned about, to ensure thorough attention!
Carpet and Upholstery Maintenance
Steam cleaning your home or business at least once a year will maximize the life
of your carpet. Maintaining your carpets between cleanings can be easy! Use a good
vacuum frequently. Also having Scotchgard™ Protection on your carpet or
upholstery, it will make spills and spots simple to remove. Scotchgard™ helps
protect against both oil and water based stains and it helps spills blot up before
they become stains. Our Spot Out, available for purchase, and a sample given at
each cleaning, will produce professional results in just a small amount of time,
with little effort. And, for pet owners, we offer a chemical called Vet's Trust
to take care of those unpleasant pet odors and messes.
Our technicians are well trained and diverse in the industry. Customer
satisfaction is our main focus. We can take care of all your cleaning needs or
point you to the appropriate place.

Stuffed inside a paper bag, I don't care what you do to me. If I get nervous, sit me in a swing. Everyone's moving except for me. This isn't anyway. It's not too late for you to shine. Stand up, stand up, just you. Let it go. Am I missing something? No I didn't think so. Let it go. Am I standing in your light yet? Not too good, but it's a start I suppose. Do I feel hungry? You don't want to know how hungry I've been, I just don't know what I like. This isn't any way. Do you ever think about the things I dream about? Don't wait too long. There's danger. No fear. Don't wait to. Don't wait too long.

I was so excited when I received Polarity Nadja. Once I pulled her hair back, she just came to life for me. I ordered a gown from Antonio Realli a few weeks ago. I purchased it with Polarity in mind. It arrived last week and I'm glad I waited to redress her. She is divine in this gown.
When the NuFace line was originally promoted, the other doll that I was most excited about was Voltage Erin. Here is the promo photo from Integrity Toys (IT). My favorite hair color for a doll is strawberry blonde and they are few and far between.

New Year … Same Song
3 comments:
You know, it sucks when you get a defective doll. But one thing I often find interesting is that replacement dolls sometimes are very different from the first batch. They can be a little less like the prototype ( like flawless Elyse replacement head.) or sometimes more beautiful! (like the hair on the replacement of your spring song Poppy) and once I saw a picture of a Pencil Me In Eugenia replacement head that was 100% better than the first ones produced, perfect bob hairstyle and screening. Maybe you'll get a true strawberry blonde?

$140 is definitely way too much for a doll with those screening issues. I hope the issue gets resolved to your satisfaction.

Last night, I was a political activist demanding to free Tibet. The night before that, I was a crossing guard. Three nights before that, I was a World Cup Soccer referee. By day, I'm a scientist, and by night, I'm a story teller.
LEVI McPHERSON, a graduate student of analytical chemistry at the University of North Central Florida, is approached by agents of the Homeland Security's Counter-terrorism Unit. The agency is recruiting Lee to study and expose the loopholes of screening instruments in airports. Struggling financially, he accepted the offer, making him a paid, benevolent hacker of the nation's gateway. Yet Levi is horrified when an Airbus from Los Angeles disintegrated in mid-air.
At 40, when everybody's career trajectory is going up, Levi's still a poor graduate student, struggling financially. His research projects however, are worth million dollars. Researching the highly classified and heavily guarded secrets of detecting traces of explosives, what Lee know was a goldmine. The agency's offer is his financial break . So Levi tackles the problem like a scientist, detailing the loopholes of the aviation security and turning what he knew into a big time money machine.
JIM and JONATHAN of the counter-terrorism unit, where nowhere to be found after Charlotte International Airport, a hub of Delta Airlines closed abruptly because of instrument malfunctions in their security lines. And in a post-Osama Bin Laden's era, the biggest blow to the United Stated after the 9/11 disaster comes unexpectedly when a passenger plane blew up in the skies of Washington D.C., in the heart of the nation.
Levi knew it was only the start of more troubles, so he recruits his fellow graduate students to counter the future attacks. They have to think like criminals—and scientists too. With the help of FBI counter-terrorism experts, Homeland Security and Transportation Security Agency, the team races to close and plug the loopholes Lee identified.

Down to 167 lbs
Losing 3 lbs. is within the range of your hydration. You can increase your weight by a glass of water. I know somebody, a professional triathlete, loses 10 lbs. in a hard training of running and biking. I'm not a professional triathlete, I only lose 3 lbs the most in a hard run.
Nevertheless, 3 lbs is 3 lbs.

1) Don't take items you know aren't permitted! Save yourself the embarrassment from the start and don't pack things you know you aren't allowed on the site. All festivals vary on what they allow and don't allow you take. So always double check before you go; there is usually information on their websites. There's nothing more embarrassing than being stopped on the way in. Security will check your bags and will pull you over in front of the whole queue if you've got something you're not allowed. This will then hold the whole queue up causing all the people behind you to give you evil glares. It's just not worth it at all!
2) Don't wear a playsuit or a jumpsuit, I know you're probably thinking what?!?! Lots of fashion brands sell playsuits and jumpsuits in their festival collections. That would be correct but it's really not a good idea to wear one. There is nothing worse than queuing half an hour to go to the toilet in a horrible portaloo; to then have to struggle pulling your playsuit or jumpsuit off. You really don't want to be stood in a portaloo naked with your playsuit or jumpsuit more than likely dangling in something you don't even want to think about. My advice would be wear something that can easily be taken off when you go to the loo.
3) Get organised! Don't think you can leave packing until the day before or the morning you go. It's not a good idea, more than likely you'll get there and realise that you've forgotten all of the important things. Or you'll try and go shopping the day before and realise that everything you need is sold out. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't guilty of this. Start packing a week to a few days before. This gives chance to get everything organised and make sure that you have everything that you need.
4) Food and drink, I know it can be a pain carrying food and drink around in your bag. Usually you haven't got enough room... I know! But if you don't want to spend most of your money and spend the whole festival queuing for it then I'd advise you to take your own. A small bottle of water and small snacks. Just don't take food that will melt or go off quickly. For example don't take chocolate as tempting as it might be to take it. It's more than likely going to melt and leave a sticky mess in your bag. I usually take granola bars!
5) Don't overheat for fashion, now if you're in the UK its unlikely you'll ever overheat. In the occasion that it is hot though don't wear something you know you're going to get to hot in. I know there's sometimes an overwhelming desire to look good over practicality... but it's really not worth it! You don't want to be collapsing of heat exhaustion. Or the other way round if it's cold make sure you've got something to wrap up warm in. Again you don't want to end up with hypothermia!
6) The dreaded phone battery, there's nothing worse than the low battery warning on your phone. I know you feel like your heart is literally dropping. Ways to conserve your battery are put your phone to airplane mode when you're not using it. Also turn your screen brightness down but not so much that you can't see obviously! If you just can't resist snap chatting the whole festival then I'd advise getting a portable charger. I think the charging cases are usually better if you have an IPhone. Purely because you don't need the charger wire which can get in the way.
7) You're not cool for not using sun cream. I know so many people that say "Oh I just don't bother with sun cream" or "I look silly putting sun cream on". Well it's not silly at all it's actually pretty smart. Always put sun cream on if it's sunny! There is so many misconceptions that you don't tan if you put it on... You do and it's a much safer way of doing it. You don't want to get so badly burnt on the first day that you spend the second day barely being able to move looking like a lobster. That's definitely not a good look!
8) Cameras! Although you want good photos to show to everyone don't waste valuable space in your bag. Don't go lugging around your big DSLR camera... worst mistake ever. It'll just get in your way and annoy you the whole time. If you have a small digital camera fair enough. I wouldn't advise taking an expensive camera though. You don't want to be distraught if you get home and it's lost with all those memories on it. Take a disposable camera with you. They're not very expensive and don't take up much room at all. The photos I've used are from my disposable camera last year. I know you're probably thinking they're not that good quality. That's true but you only have one chance to take them. You've took a photo in that moment where you were having so much fun. I think it just makes them even more special personally.
9) Don't argue over music! It's more than likely you are going with your closest friends. All which probably have different music tastes. I know it can be difficult. I advise all sitting down together before anything starts and schedule who you are going to see at what time in the day. If you don't you'll more than likely spend so much time arguing you'll miss both the acts you were arguing over anyway.
10) Pushing on the crowds is a huge NO. They may be your favourite artist and you may love them but really it's no excuse to push. You can hear from wherever you are in the crowd. There is more than likely big screens as well to see them on the stage. Honestly people will hate you if you push them! It's just super annoying especially if you've been in that spot for ages and someone who's been there for two minutes pushes in front of you. Just don't do it!
So these are my festival tips for this year! I hope these help you in some way if you're attending one this year. These are just all the things I've learnt.
Let me know if you're attending any festivals and which ones you're going to. If you have any more tips then feel free to leave them in the comments!
I hope you enjoyed this post,
Thank you for reading,

Mark Jackson/Jerry West/Joe Lacob/Stephen Curry; Sammy Watkins; Madison Bumgarner/Michael Morse/Clayton Kershaw; Sonny Gray/Scott Kazmir; Tony La Russa
WOW! Just when it seemed the drama surrounding the Warriors was starting to abate, coach Mark Jackson got fired yesterday, despite getting the Warriors to the playoffs the last two seasons.
There have always been issues with Jackson. His treatment of assistant coaches, usually by demoting them, has been abysmal. His self-confidence is paper-thin, strange for a man who was a successful player and announcer before becoming a coach. His relationship with Jerry West has always been contentious, though that became public only in recent weeks. His religion (he and his wife are co-pastors at a Los Angeles church) has no tolerance for gays, and Warriors president Rick Welts is openly gay.
Nor is Jackson a wizard with the Xs-and-Os, but frankly, I think that's a much overrated ability because the NBA is a players league. Phil Jackson won championships with his Triangle offense, but was the offense the key or the fact that he had great players, most notably Michael Jordan with the Bulls and Kobe Bryant. My vote would go for the players.
One of my Examiner readers is bothered by the fact that Jackson doesn't carry a clipboard with plays on it, as many NBA coaches do. For most of them, though, the clipboards are an affectation. I suspect the "plays" you'd see written on most of them are something like, "Get the ball to the hot shooter."
Coaches are certainly important but their chief duty is to motivate the players, which Jackson seems to do very well. His players love him, which is usually an important factor. Not always. I can't say Don Nelson's players loved him but they did play for him – except for Chris Webber, who has always been a headache for his coaches.
I think the primary criterion for a coach should be whether he gets the most out of his team, and I think Jackson did that. I don't blame him for the Warriors loss in the first round of the playoffs. I think that everyone realized the Clippers were the better team. Well, not everybody. Bruce Jenkins was so convinced that the Warriors would win that he was already writing about their second round opponent before the final game of the first round. He based that on the belief that Clippers point guard Chris Paul would break down. Paul was in such bad shape that all he could do was play 44 minutes with 15 assists (and only two turnovers).
The fact is that, when Andrew Bogut was ruled out of the playoffs with a broken rib, the Warriors chances of going anywhere disappeared. The Clippers (and everybody else) got distracted by the Donald Sterling episode but I believe they'd have won that series in six games if everything else had been normal. The way they're playing now, it wouldn't surprise me if they won the NBA championship.
Bogut gives the Warriors a solid inside presence, offensively and defensively, that they haven't had since Nate Thurmond. But, he can't stay healthy, and he will be 30 in November. Do you know anybody who got healthier after 30?
If you want to replace a coach, you also have to ask yourself who you'd get who would be better? Maybe owner Joe Lacob thinks he knows somebody but the answer isn't obvious.
Though Lacob portrayed this as an organizational decision, it was clearly his. And, this time, I agree with Jenkins: He overreached and made a mistake.
Now that Lacob has fired Jackson, he could face a rebellion by his players. Stephen Curry, who has become the team leader, has already hinted at that. Even if Curry backs off from that, Lacob has alienated his team and fans.
That probably doesn't bother him. He made his money in Los Angeles and he has the swagger that comes with that, deciding that he wanted a monstrosity of a building, including an arena, on the waterfront, until enough San Francisco residents forced him to change his plans before voters did it for him. (His planned building was described as iconic, which is easily the most used and abused description in the dictionary. Can we please declare a moratorium on the use of iconic for anything that is just somewhat different?)
Lacob obviously wants to become part of San Francisco society by having his team play in San Francisco but San Franciscans on any level find the brashness of rich men from Los Angeles offensive. Lacob will learn that his swagger doesn't sell well in San Francisco.
And now, he has to find a coach. Good luck with that.
AT LEAST, the Warriors didn't match the choke job by the San Jose Sharks who won the first three games of their first playoff round and then lost the next four, including a lopsided loss in the seventh game. Didn't bother me a bit. I think the Sharks get far more media attention than they deserve because their audience doesn't extend much beyond those who go to the games. Hockey is a big sport in Canada and the northern tier of the U.S. where kids can play the game on outside ice rinks, as I did when I lived the first 10 years of my life in northern Minnesota. No outside ice rinks in the Bay Area.
OOPS: As readers have pointed out, I wrote that Donald Sterling's suspension was for one year, but it was lifetime. This is why newspapers have copy editors. Writers see what they intended to write, not what's actually there. But, I don't have a proof reader so you'll just have to bear with my mistakes.
NFL DRAFT: Despite the many mock drafts, nobody really knows what teams are going to do on draft day because they can't see the draft boards. The teams, except for the one drafting No. 1, don't know, either, because teams ahead of them may make unexpected moves – or they may get involved in trades to move up or down.
I am surprised, though, by how many writing on the draft think the 49ers will go after a receiver on the first round. Unless they can trade down to get Sammy Watkins, it would make much more sense to go for defensive help, with NaVorro Bowman out with a torn ACL and Aldon Smith facing an indefinite suspension from the NFL.
The fact is, no matter which receiver the Niners draft, they can't know whether Colin Kaepernick will throw to him. Kaepernick has a habit of picking one or two favorite receivers and looking for them only in tight situations. This has not escaped the attention of other teams. The Ravens played three men on Michael Crabtree in the final minutes of the 2013 Super Bowl as Kaepernick threw three straight incompletions to end the game. In the 2014 NFC championship game, he challenged Richard Sherman as he again tried to hit Crabtree. Interception and end of game.
So, unless coach Jim Harbaugh can get Kaepernick to change his pattern, the Niners are probably wasting their time if they pick another receiver.
It's quite possible, though, that the Raiders will go for Watkins, if he is still there when they pick at the fifth position – and if GM Reggie McKenzie doesn't trade that pick to get an extra one.
McKenzie did a good job of signing free agent talent and trading for veteran quarterback Matt Schaub to solidify that position, so he doesn't have to gamble on a quarterback from the current crop. Most likely, he'll take a quarterback in a later round for development purposes but he'll be looking for immediate help earlier.
The Raiders need it because they will have what looks like the toughest schedule in the NFL this upcoming season, including a "home" game in London. Isn't the NFL hierarchy aware that Al Davis has died?
FOR THE first time in many years, I didn't go to the Cal spring game this year. What's the point? There's no reason to think the team will be substantially better this year, not with an offense that only works in small colleges or with overwhelming talent, neither of which applies to Cal.
Meanwhile, the rate of academic advancement for athletes inched up a bit, which means, well, nothing really. I would imagine the graduation rate for football players will go up some, but that will be because far fewer will be leaving early for the NFL than in Jeff Tedford's heyday.
There are only two bits of good news about Cal sports, the first being that Sandy Barbour's ridiculous plan to hold the 2014 Big Game at the 49ers new stadium, has been scuttled. Barbour has no idea of Cal history. This would have been virtually a home game for Stanford, which is only a few miles from the 49er stadium. Because of this and other very questionable decisions, Barbour is on a very short leash. The new chancellor made the decision on a replacement for retired basketball coach Mike Montgomery, overruling Barbour. The next decision the chancellor should make is to get a new athletic director.
THE A'S vaunted pitching depth hasn't been able to survive the losses of top starters Jarrod Parker and A. J. Griffin to season-ending surgery. They're struggling to find a starter for one of the games of today's unusual day/night doubleheader with the Seattle Mariners, making up a game rained out in the opening series.
The top of the rotation, Sonny Gray (named pitcher of the month for April), new acquisition Scott Kazmir and Jesse Chavez have all been excellent at the top of the order but Dan Strally and Tommy Milone have struggled. Strally has the pitches to be a winner but has struggled with his control. I remember the first time I saw Milone, in an exhibition against the Giants in the Bay Series in 2012 and I thought he wasn't a major league pitcher. He's been decent until this year but his control really has to be sharp because his pitches aren't going to overwhelm anybody.
Meanwhile, the A's still have a home for Daric Barton, who basically has been a late inning defensive replacement at first base. Really? Couldn't the A's find a player who could help them more on a regular basis? We all know the answer to that but Billy Beane can't let Barton go and he's certainly not trade material. When he's been put on waivers, no team has claimed him.
With all their problems, the A's have remained at the top of the AL West standings. They're certainly not a great team but they have hitters who can hit home runs, and that part of their game is improved as Josh Reddick regains his form.
The Angels have remained close, with Albert Pujols once again hitting as he did before plantar fascia brought him down last year, but the Angels pitching is not very good. Texas is probably not as good as the previous four years. Seattle seemed to be much improved with the addition of Robinson Cano but the Mariners are still muddling around the middle of the division.
The Giants probably shocked themselves by sweeping the Braves in Atlanta but questions about their starting pitching remain. Madison Bumgarner has been surprisingly ineffective, Matt Cain is briefly on the DL with a cut finger (he should be back for the Dodgers series on Saturday). Tim Lincecum had a good outing against the Braves but six innings is his limit. Ryan Vogelsong also looked good against the Braves, but if you check the ERAs for both Lincecum and Vogelsong, you'll have a better idea how they've been pitching. But shutting up those tomahawk-waving idiots in Atlanta is always a good thing.
The Giants do seem to have much improved power. Michael Morse has been everything the Giants wanted, Hunter Pence and Buster Posey have picked up the pace and Brandon Belt, though locked in a slump, hit his eighth homer in a pinch-hit role. Pablo Sandoval is mostly lost at the plate.
And, the Dodgers loom. Clayton Kershaw returned from the DL on Tuesday night and pitched seven shutout innings. He'll be ready for the Giants this weekend.
BASHOF: My wife and I are going to the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame dinner tonight. I've been a longtime supporter of the program and have written a bio for an inductee in all but one year. This year, I've written the bio for Tony La Russa, who taught me so much about baseball, the game I thought I knew. I'll probably write on the proceedings in next week's column.

About this piece
On this Bright Morning was written for a consortium of Montana high school bands. The focus group was the second band at Missoula's Hellgate High School, the thinking being that this second band in a good music program would represent the technical development of the average high school band around the state.
The music is bright and engaging, and at the same time quite soulful. It asks players and conductors to commit fully to a very direct and powerful personal feeling. As a motivation for approaching the piece I have attached the following quote, taken from an interview with the poet, Jane Kenyon:
"Yes, there are things in this life that we must endure that are all but unendurable, and yet I feel that there is a great goodness. Why, when there could have been nothing, is there something? How, when there could have been nothing, does it happen that there is love, kindness, beauty?"
Program Note
There are times of stability in life, and times of significant
transition. Transitions can be upsetting, often provoked or
accompanied by physical or emotional troubles. They are times of
uncertainty and unknowing, but also the times of greatest creative
"On This Bright Morning" acknowledges the struggle, and the feelings
of pain and loss in times of transition, but embodies the pure joy of
realizing the bigger life. On this bright morning, life is new, life
is possible.
The following is from a Bill Moyers interview with the poet, Jane
Kenyon, who suffered chronic depression, and who died of leukemia at
age 48:
"Yes, there are things in life that we must endure that are all but
unendurable, and yet I feel that there is a great goodness. Why, when
there could have been nothing, is there something? How, when there
could have been nothing, does it happen that there is love, kindness,

A 1031 tax-deferred exchange is a powerful tax deferral strategy. Taxpayers should never have to pay tax on the sale of investment property if they intend to re-invest the proceeds into similar or like-kind property.
Those selling an investment property may defer taxes on the proceeds by following and meeting the IRS code 1031 regulations. There are many pitfalls, especially due to the time line imposed by the IRS on such transactions.
(Within 45 days of property sale, one must identify in writing 3 'replacement properties', and within 180 days, the exchange must be completed with one or more of those identified properties.There are a number of basic rules that must be followed). Many Buyers find that getting an appropriate property under contract in the 45 day identification period – one that will close – is difficult and stressful. Buyers must be prepared to focus time and energy with their Broker on all steps to obtain the property.
This is not a 'swap'. The owner of a property sells one (the 'relinquished') property and 'buys' another like-kind property by trading in the proceeds. A Qualified Intermediary must be designated to hold the funds and handle the 1031 BEFORE you sell the property. You the investor do not 'touch' the funds or proceeds – they are handled by the Intermediary (also called an Accomodator or QI). Please contact Legacy if you have questions.
SUMMARY of the STEPS to a TAX DEFERRED EXCHANGE:
1) You enter into a contract to sell your 'relinquished property'.
2) You make all arrangements with your Qualified Intermediary to set up the 1031 exchange details.
3) You close on the relinquished property (the Qualified Intermediary holds the funds – you do not 'touch' any of the funds to be exchanged).
4) Within 45 days of the closing on the relinquished property, you must identify the "Replacement Properties".(Therein lies the most difficult part – finding good properties, tying them up and being sure that you are able to close on the property(ies) that you identify. Backups should always be included).

You need brains to work on AMC's zombie show The Walking Dead. And special effects wizard Greg Nicotero is one of the folks responsible for making sure those brains get sprayed around in just the right way.
You can see Nicotero going about his grisly work in the photograph after the jump. The image is one of the never-before-seen shots from new book, The Walking Dead Chronicles: The Official Companion Book. The tome details the making of the show's first season and also features set designs, storyboards, page-to-screen comparisons to the comics, an introduction by Walking Dead comic creator Robert Kirkman, and a foreword by now departed showrunner Frank Darabont (needless to say, it will be interesting to see how any second volume of the Chronicles deals with that departure).
The Walking Dead Chronicles is available to buy now, while the show itself returns to AMC on October 16.

See that faint watermark in the aerial photo taken from up on the balcony? That's the lap pool at the Parkside at Memorial Apartments just south of Memorial Dr., buried under more water than it's designed to hold after the release of the Addicks and Barker reservoirs last August. Throughout the first floor of the surrounding buildings, the tide peaked at over 5-and-a-half ft. Workers spent the last 9 months helping the 4-year-old complex make a comeback; its leasing center officially reopened late last month — and on-site amenities now look less divey and more like the refurbished lap pool shown in the photo at top.
Other aquatic areas that took on more than they could handle include the complex's other pool:

Food safety has been in the general media recently. Is it for attention and sensationalism? Do we ignore it, join it or ask for the facts? Facts are always best. It feels good to have a scapegoat for our problems, but it is not productive and can possibly be destructive.
Emotional, unthought conclusions should not be considered the truth. For example, my daughter is a brain tumor survivor. She was diagnosed at age two. Brain Tumors are the leading cancer death cause in children. Like any other form of deadly cancer, it is difficult to catch in time. My daughter's tumor was caught in time and she is one of the 5% that survived without major side effects from treatment. Our family is very grateful for this good luck and we thank her doctor who diagnosed her correctly and quickly.
Since her sickness, I've met other parents who've lost their children or had their children debilitated by this terrible disease. Their children were not diagnosed in time and their tumors grew into vital parts of the brain ( i.e. brain stem). Why weren't they diagnosed quickly? One doctor thought the nausea the child was due to food allergies and ran tests for 8 months plus. Another thought the child's headaches were due to perfumes in common household products and didn't even fully analyze brain scans that showed the start of a tumor til two years later. Did these doctors villianize foods and perfumes before they found facts?
Looking for villains in our food supply isn't productive and can be detrimental. There are serious threats that can exist in our food supply and our food handling practices. Do we trust our government officials and their advice? Should we listen to what they have to say and the facts before we come to conclusions?

As a parent, one can spend hours, days, years feeling guilty for their child's illness. It isn't productive to try to guess at the reason. There is no data and there is no clear evidence about why children with brain tumors suffer so.

Month: April 2014
Had an amazing day at my schools today!
We weren't meant to be perfect, we were meant to be AWESOME!
I have a story about my daughter I want to share. First off, my daughter is awesome. The Soph is perfect exactly how she is. And I am not just saying that because I am her mom. Okay, maybe a little bit, but truly, she is so phenomenal. She is this amazing spirit that lights up a room. Since she was a baby I called her my 'chaotic bubble of sunshine.' Sophie has always been this messy, crazy, never-slow-down kind of a kid. When she would eat as a baby, it was a full body experience. She had to dive in and eat with her hands and rub it all over her head, her arms, everything. Sophie just loves to LIVE life. Even when she was just a baby with a jar of carrots, girlfriend EXPERIENCED that jar of carrots.
Sophie has never worried about being perfect or making sure she knew exactly how every little thing worked before jumping in. If she wanted to try it, she tried it. If she messed up, she messed up. Now, I am sure inside her head other things were going on, but on the outside? She took her bumps, her bruises and mishaps, brushed them off and moved on. Like I said, she LIVES this life.
She is an incredible artist too. She has always made things, always creating things with her hands. I often would come into my studio when she was younger and find some new creation she had made and left behind for me to see. She creates just to create. I love that about her. I am glad she does have an entrepreneurial heart too, I think it will all come together one day.
Last year in high school, we found out that Sophie is pretty awesome at sculpture. She has made amazing things with metal and found materials. This year we discovered she is GIFTED with clay and ceramics. She has won awards alongside seniors in high school. She has been asked to be in AP art her junior year – a year early. Girlfriend has legit talent.
But this past year has been hard too. Some really hard things happened to some of her classmates and friends. And Sophie is sensitive. She seems to absorb other's pain. She, like many artists, feels so very DEEPLY. She ended up having some really dark months this past fall. And she struggled with not feeling like that happy, bouncy person everyone expected her to be – she was not feeling it and she felt like she had to pretend to keep everyone else happy. That is a rough place for anyone to be, but a teenage? Ugh.
She began to struggle with some classes and was just emotionally very down. Luckily, she was open with me about things and we dealt with it head on. We found an awesome therapist, her and I talk A LOT and she is doing really well these days.
During some of these hard times she made some mistakes in the past few months, as many 15, almost 16 year olds will do. Mistakes that aren't horrible or terrible, but mistakes for which she is paying a price and trying very hard to fix. One of those mistakes is her grades in an Honors Chemistry class. Girlfriend is failing. FAILING. And she only has a few weeks to pull out a C. I got her a tutor, she goes into school early to get extra help, she is studying ALL the time. The problem is, sometimes, if you get to the game too late? You can't save it. Soph, oh she is trying, but we have to see. Yesterday? She got an 80 on a test! THAT WAS HUGE. SO PROUD!
You see, Sophie has ADHD and phonetical dislexia. We knew Honors Chem would be hard, but if she focused she would be okay. No one anticipated the emotional roller coaster year she would have. She has never, EVER used her learning difficulties as an excuse. She never even tells the teachers. So right now? Trying so hard to make up for so much in just a few weeks? Is crazy hard. But she is doing it.
But you know what? If she fails the course, she fails the course. We will figure out what needs to be done. This class does not define her. A failed course does not mean a failed person. How often do we all feel that way? I hope she passes, I truly do. Mostly because this is a kid that likely won't ever take Chemistry again in her life and this class matters very little in her true education in life. I really hope she passes though – because chemistry in the summer? Sounds AWFUL. Like a level of hell awful. Wasn't that in the Inferno? I believe it was.
So we shall see. Sophie will learn and has learned so much from this year. And I hated that it was such a hard year for her and it was torture to watch it happen as mother, but I have seen her growing so much. She has seen that she can mess up, pretty big and get to the other side of it – get to the other side of all that hard and bad even when I'm sure she felt like she was clawing her way out of a really deep dark tunnel. Most of all she has learned that she does not need to be perfect. That perfect doesn't exist. Life is a series of messes and mistakes and finding all the AWESOME that WE ARE as we navigate through it all.
Sophie's light has begun to shine very brightly again the past few weeks – but it was never, ever gone – maybe just dimmed a bit. And I love basking in the brightness that is that girl. She makes this world so much more beautiful and awesome.
I hope you let YOUR awesome shine super BRIGHT today! <3

Storytime LIVE in Hoover, Alabama!!
This Made Me Happy Today
I am grateful for the moments I get to have with the kids I talk to each week. I adore them more than I can ever adequately express in words. Today was a very good day.
Tonight however? I got my tax bill. OUCH. That hurt. A lot.
So I am posting this picture of a sheep wearing a Bob horn pretending to be a unicorn. Because it makes me HAPPY.
And even if I do have to empty my entire bank account to pay my taxes, I am determined to focus on what REALLY matters. The children of this world matter to me. Their hopes and their dreams and making sure that they know how much I truly BELIEVE in them and LOVE them matters so much to me. And if I have to empty my bank account in order to keep doing that? Then I'm going to. Because I can't imagine not doing this. And I am so very lucky that this gets to be my life.
And now? I am going to go to bed and let all if this money stuff go. Because I'm still human, and working as hard as I do and still having to empty your bank account? Well, it still kinda stinks. But tomorrow? IS A NEW DAY, Y'ALL! Filled with new kids to meet! And I WILL be READY FOR THEM!
The Story of Lou. The Motivational Tree Iguana. (He's kinda rude.)
So I was in Key West last week and in the condo we were staying in had a sign on the doors. It struck me as funny. I posted it on Facebook. Then a friend commented about how maybe it was a note FROM the Tree Iguana, not ABOUT the Tree Iguana. See?
And this exchange just REALLY cracked me up. And I could not stop thinking about this tree iguana – and all those exclamations points just made me think he was kind rude. I mean, really, did he HAVE to be so forceful about closing the door?
I ended up naming him Lou and the FB exchange lasted many, many more comments and a few other posts.
By the time I got home, Lou had completely introduced himself to me. He is in fact, a Tree Iguana that lives in Key West. He is apparently also a motivational speaker. And he is sort of rude. So maybe just for adults – and maybe teenagers that need a swift kick in the derriere. 🙂
Look, my characters choose me, I don't choose them – it's just how it goes, I'm only being honest.
Lou tells it like it is. He kinda reminds me of Walter Matthau. He tells you what you NEED to hear, not what you WANT to hear. If he is not your cup of tea, that is TOTALLY okay. If he offends you, just ignore him. He told me he really doesn't care if he offends you. See? Kinda rude, that Lou.
I think we will be seeing more of Lou. He seems to have a lot to say. And now that I made his poster for y'all, he says I can get back to work painting the illustrations for Dog and Mouse. (He just called me a slacker because I am behind on them. Rude.)

text: … And last but not least, Skye Klad's self-titled album on the Mutant Music Label. Notable amongst Terrascopic circles for being the acid-rock lunar vehicle to Salamander's orbital space-deck for guitarist Erik Wivinus, tracks range from the righteously tripped opening cut 'Mind's Eye' via effects-laden Sabbatheseque freakouts ('Vespers', 'Ionosphere') and slow-fused burn-outs ('Amber' and a cover of Low's 'Sleep at the Bottom') to the sonic majesty of the closing 'Falling Clear'. Instrumentally tight and by all accounts transcendental live, methinks we'll be hearing more of Skye Klad before too long.

NewsReel 4/5/2014: - Speech By Gov. Orji On The Occasion of The Celebration of 2014 Annual Workers' Day, Held At Ibeku High School, Umuahia On May 1, 2014.
[ Masterweb Reports ] – Distinguished ladies and gentlemen; I have the honor and privilege to address you today as we celebrate this year's annual Workers' Day. The 1st day of May of every year has been set aside world-wide, to appreciate the contributions that workers of the world make in the development of mankind. Here in Abia State, we have good reasons to celebrate our workers for their improving productivity, and especially for their stabilizing effect on our polity, and the peaceful environment that our people enjoy everywhere.
The theme of this year's Workers' Day is : 'Building Enduring Peace and Unity – Panacea for Sustainable National Development'. This is coming at a very unique time in Abia State and coincides with the era when our Government is consolidating our legacy projects.
It is our aim to consolidate our legacy projects to provide the foundation that will drive the new face of Abia, towards a sustainable and predictable development. Now more than ever before, our State desires industrial harmony and the security of lives and property to move our development forward, and I know I can count on our Workers cooperation to do all these.
I salute our workers of the State for having kept faith with our Government as we struggled in the past years to strengthen our nascent democracy, preserve our security of lives and property; create job opportunities to empower our youths, and pursuing our legacy projects as a preferred development strategy.
Our efforts have achieved results in the health sector, in the agricultural sector to improve food security and create employment; in re-building our neglected infrastructure, improving our commerce through provision of new markets and in improving our educational system, etc.
Through these many competing demands, the workers of Abia State continued to work hard, support and trust our Government, and you did not embark on any disruptive industrial actions. Instead, you imbibed the spirit of amicable settlement and peaceful resolutions wherever there were some disagreements. I commend you for this.
I especially salute the leadership of the NLC and TUC of Abia State, for working to support our security and peace efforts in the State, which have earned us the recognition as one of the most peaceful States in the Nation and as an investment friendly State. That is why the Abia economy is now taking an upwards swing. In all your supports to our Government, the leadership of Abia workers has not abandoned the needs and rights of our workers in your interactions with our Government.
I also acknowledge that the workers of Abia State have been alive to your social responsibilities, and it was your votes that helped liberate Abia from the clutches of oppression, making it possible for our Government to focus on the needs of our citizens, especially the welfare of our workers and in the improvement of our overall economy.
That is why in the past, we did not hesitate to implement the new national minimum wage for workers, even paying above what other States committed to.
Just like I promised you during our last workers' day celebration, we are fast concluding the construction of a befitting new secretariat complex, and our workers are already moving in there to occupy the spaces. I am now happy that our workers can now work in a relative comfortable environment, and we will also continue to promote our workers as-when due, as well as provide the necessary incentives that promote a healthy workforce.
Recently, I commissioned one of our housing estates in Isieke, this and our other estates at Amuba and Adelabu are all focused on providing decent and affordable accommodations for all categories of workers. We will continue along this line.
Through our Labor desk that is manned by your former Chairman of State NLC, we continue to enjoy a harmonious working relationship with all labor unions.
We will continue to seek this path of cooperation with our workers, so that together, we will build full support and acceptance of government's good intentions to serve all Abians.
Our Government will continue to build on the primary areas of cooperation with our Labour Unions, especially through mutual understanding of all issues affecting Labour and our collaborative pro-activeness in addressing all sore areas. I am confident that these paths will be mutually useful in addressing all outstanding labour issues in our State.
I am very pleased to note the implementation of the minimum wage bill in three parastatals of our State – which were outstanding when we celebrated last year, especially in ADP, Abia Library Board and Abia State Council for Arts and Culture. I assure you that we will soon commence the implementation of out-standing arrears of payments to these workers.
We will continue to promote the independence of some of our State parastatals where necessary, to enable them assist in improving our State IGR, and also address any other existing disparities in the payment of the minimum wage in our State.
I am aware that some of our Teachers' salaries are paid in arrears, including that of the Health Management Board, Teaching Hospital Aba and the Project Implementation Units (PIU). Our Government is working very hard to clear these arrears.
Also as a pensionable worker myself, I am very sensitive to the plights of Abia pensioners, and know that our government has been in arrears in meeting our obligations to retirees, especially in the payments of gratuities and accruing pensions. We are very anxious to meet such obligations to all pensioners and doing whatever is possible to address the issues.
Our Government is doing everything possible to improve our financial status, especially our internally generated revenue, so that we will be able to honor our obligations to all workers and retirees as-when-due.
We are also committed to the prompt payments of salaries and special allowances due to medical and health workers. That is why I recently set up two committees to review and harmonize the fees and levies payable to the State, so that both the State and the tax-paying public can reach a dependable platform for improved and predictable IGR.
The welfare of Abia workers will continue to occupy a primary position in the agenda of our Administration, and I am proud of the cordial relationship existing between Labour and our Government. This collaborative approach is certainly the sure route to follow if we must reach the collective prosperity, security and welfare of all Abians.
I am aware that there are two other outstanding promises I made to Abia workers that are not fully fulfilled. One of these is our Government's resolve to assist Abia Workers to build your befitting Labour House in the State, for the promotion of labour values. I want to restate here that our Government is ready to step in when Labour makes the first move to realize this project. That is why we have made an allocation of a plot of land to Labour to house the project.
The second outstanding promise I made to Labour, is the provision of buses to your Unions. I have already made good on this by providing one bus to your Union, and the others will come in due course as we manage our lean resources.
To whom much is given or promised, much is expected. Therefore, as we celebrate today's workers' day, I urge all our workers to renew their faith, support and devotion to our Government, knowing that our Government means well for all Abians, and we are workers' friendly. We cannot develop this State without your full support and sacrifices.
Our Government is in a hurry to develop this State, and all our efforts are directed towards making Abia better for all citizens, including workers. That is why we must build a sustainable economy of Abia State, and a more secured State, where our workers are full partners. God willing we will not fail Abia State and we will not fail our workers!
I will end this address by renewing my confidence in the abilities of Abia workers, and as we celebrate today, I call on all of us to rededicate to the over-all work ethics of our service, and to drive this commitment to the service and well-being of the good people of Abia State.
May God bless the workers of Abia State! Long live Abia State and the Federal Republic of Nigeria!
Thank you.

Kollective Technology, whose software facilitates live video feeds for Fortune 500 companies, has raised investor capital in the millions, but CEO Dan Vetras said he could see no reason in 2015 to turn down a $50,000 forgivable loan from Deschutes County.
In exchange for the money, Kollective committed to creating 25 jobs by May 1, according to the county. Vetras said the company had 27 local employees in June, and he expects to exceed 30 by the end of the year because of Kollective's recent growth. Its customers include Wells Fargo, Salesforce, Nestle, Unilever, Charles Schwab and John Deere.
The economic development loan to Kollective is one of 25 such loans that Deschutes County has made since 2010 to promote job growth. The county has loaned or granted $859,000 in exchange for 705 job commitments, an average of $1,218 per job.
Deadlines for job creation are still pending for 10 companies, but others have created at least 438 jobs and seen $438,000 in loans forgiven, according to the county.
"If you look at the spectrum of businesses, it's not a bad batting record," said Roger Lee, executive director of Economic Development for Central Oregon, which markets the program and is responsible for vetting applicants and auditing their performance on behalf of the county.
Companies that fulfilled their agreements include Navis, which provides reservation call support and data analysis to the hospitality industry; Central Oregon Truck and Consumer Cellular, according to Deschutes County.
At $1,218, the county's average spending per job commitment is less than other cities and states spend on job-growth incentives, said Kenneth Thomas, a political science professor at University of Missouri-St. Louis who studies corporate tax incentives. He generally discourages local and state governments from using tax breaks or cash to persuade companies to relocate because the job-creation claims don't account for jobs lost elsewhere.
"Lots of cities and states aren't going to listen to me," he said. "I also try to make sure they understand how expensive their program is relative to other cities."
If Kollective retains all 25 jobs through May 1, 2018, the loan will be forgiven. Those companies that don't live up to their agreements can get deadline extensions, but some have repaid the loans at 8 percent interest.
The county funds the program through various sources, including general funds and the county's share of video lottery revenue, said Judith Ure, management analyst for the county.
Economic Development for Central Oregon markets the program, vets applicants and makes recommendations to the Deschutes County Commission. EDCO is also responsible for auditing the companies' performance under their agreements.
"Our job is to make sure they're used as judiciously as possible," said Roger Lee, executive director of EDCO.
The maximum loan amount is $50,000, a useful tool for keeping or attracting employers, he said. "Even local companies, especially companies with headquarters elsewhere, want to see there's local skin in the game," Lee said.
Not every loan recipient has grown like Kollective. Three companies paid back all or part of their loans. G.L. Solutions, which received its $50,000 loan in 2010, paid back more than $19,000 after growth failed to materialize. Alchemy Solutions, a software company that in 2011 anticipated creating 13 jobs, moved to another state, Lee said. Geo-Spatial Solutions merged with FireWhat, which maps wildfires and other disasters.
The first loan recipient under the current program was the former Agere Pharmaceuticals Inc., a startup founded by former Bend Research employees who sold the company in 2015 to Patheon, based in Durham, North Carolina. Patheon later invested $5.7 million in an expansion of the Bend facility, which specializes in drug-absorption technology, and said it would add 22 jobs.
In 2010, Agere borrowed $14,000 on a commitment to create seven jobs over two years. At the time the company had a few employees and was waiting on a Small Business Administration loan, Lee said. "It wasn't a lot of money, but it was money at the right time," he said.
Other small businesses that have participated in the loan program include Vantage Clinical Solutions, Humm Kombucha and Sudara, a loungewear company.
Across the country, most corporate tax incentives go to large companies, even in programs that purport to support small business, Thomas said. "It's good to see a government that's actually giving incentives to small companies. It doesn't have to be very much."
Job-creation deadlines come up this year for several companies, including Medline Renewal, which refurbishes medical devices in Redmond, and Ammunition Development Corp., a subsidiary of Bend-based Nosler Inc. that has a plant in Redmond. EDCO has not yet reported on those firms, Ure said.
i3d Manufacturing revised its agreement with the county after its growth plans were slowed by the 2016 election, CEO Erin Stone said. "They were really willing to hear the story," she said.
The company, which makes production-quality metal parts for aerospace and defense through 3D printing, is heavily dependent on government contracting, and the sales cycle ground to a halt last year, Stone said. i3d's executive office is in Bend, while the manufacturing facility and engineering team are in The Dalles.
The company, which expected in 2015 to have 12 employees in Bend, is going to pay back half its $24,000 loan, Stone said. The county also extended the job-creation deadline to May 1, 2018, she said.

"Oh, the horror." No, this is not an homage to Francis Ford Coppola and "Apocalypes Now"; it's the reaction of New York Times film reviewer Jeannette Catsoulis to the pro-life movie "October Baby." On the verge of mild hysteria, Catsoulis writes:
More slickly packaged than most faith-based fare, "October Baby" gussies up its anti-abortion message with gauzy cinematography and more emo music than an entire season of "Grey's Anatomy." But not even a dewy heroine and a youth-friendly vibe can disguise the essential ugliness at its core: like the bloodied placards brandished by demonstrators outside women's health clinics, the film communicates in the language of guilt and fear.
Catsoulis is a bridled leftist; she makes her sympathies clear but seems to make sporadic efforts at even- handedness. Witness her review of "The Iron Lady," the biopic of Margaret Thatcher starring Meryl Streep:
[T]his demeaning biopic of Margaret Thatcher reduces one of the 20th century's most important political figures to a bossy, intractable scold . . . Watching it, you would never know she was a strong-willed beacon for many young British women who aspired to more than housekeeping and child-rearing: Even when we loathed her policies, we could not help but long for her spine.
But the leftist venom sometimes does occasionally burst forth, as when she vilified Ben Stein's documentary "Expelled" as "an unprincipled propaganda piece … One of the sleaziest documentaries to arrive in a very long time …"
So what do "Expelled," a documentary that championed Intelligent Design, and "October Baby," a film that decries abortion, have in common?
Religious faith. That's what makes leftists like Catsoulis crazy. What they see as attempts at inculcating guilt and fear are, in reality, attempts to forward a message about the goodness of faith. The left may attempt to play movies like "October Baby" as a war on women, but in reality, the reviewers have declared a war on religion.

Back in the Swedish capitol after a warm&wonderful week in Cartagena in the Caribbean, I could really feel the November cold getting to me.
In the streets of Stockholm as well as in Berlin, NYC and London I find these innocent&beautiful animal faces, many times ripped halfway like this. Have you seen them ?
My work monday was intense in the Studio, just getting back the the normal rhythm.Tuesday evening after another day of of getting back to my creative normality and typical November work mode was interrupted in the best way possible by an unexpected injection of theatrical outburst.
My friend the Architect Daniel Nyström who I just visited in Villa De Leyva, Colombia is back in Stockholm as well and asked me to come along to Sickla in the Nacka area of Stockholm. We arrive in the dark just after 10 PM/22.00 to the glass building adress and walk up the stairs. After a check on the list over invites from the person in charge our company of four is let in.
Daniel, Emma Blanche and Fredrik Färg and I have a drink in the bar passing a massive floor covered in a orange textile. High ceiling and glass on both sides letting in the street lights into the dark atmosphere inside accompanied ominously sound wise building in intensity.
More people arrive having drinks and talking adding to the ominous acoustic image intensifying as well. Just after 11 pm the light and sound change and Cirkus Cirkör take over the orange textile covered floor and start their pop up performance. This type of unexpected outburst of pure creativity gives me so much. Loved it!
Cirkus Cirkör pop up perfomance in Sickla, Stockholm
Invited for lunch with a purpose to what is called : Tomorrow´s Table at the booze museum. No I´m not drunk (not right now anyway…!) There is a alcohol, spirits or booze museum, if you like, in Stockholm called Spritmuseum.
Highlighting the increasing food&beverage tourism Tomorrow´s Table invited to talks with Staffo Törnqist as MC interviewing Anna Malmhake, CEO of The Absolute Company, Hans De Geer Professor&authour of the book Vin&Sprit (Wine&Spirits) – från politik till marknad – giving us somewhat of an explanation to our strange alcohol history of Sweden, Anna Anerfält-Johansson representing her Norrtelje Brenneri, one of the 555 new producers of alcoholic beverages in Sweden. Internationally celebrated chef Tommy Myllymäki, serving us interesting trending info of tomorrows food&drink tourism explaining that he foresees more personal identification with the restaurant of choice and a more fine tuned consumer, eating less and thinking more of the quality, production and from where the produce is found for the meal. Therefore also looking to enjoy the local specialities requiring a more differentiated meny all over the globe.
Sounds really good to me. Hoping what he says will rub off on Sweden over all and that we can find more of our own food culture along with all of the world represented as well. Erik Wolf joins in via a Skype link and and at last Michael Persson Gripkov, Chief Brand and Communications officer at Visit Sweden talking about the addition of not only food as being the interest of the food tourist but drink as well and the importance of combining the two, which makes perfect sense right (!)
Since we had a monopoly previously in Sweden, the need to inform about our new open policy on alcohol production but not on selling, which still is only handled by Systembolaget our upside down politics not allowing any sales of alcohol to the beverage tourist visiting The Absolute Company in Åhus still, leads us to understand that we still have some time before we will have a complete food&beverage tourism…
The very charming Mr Törnquist takes over most of the interviews being the TV personality as well as a self professed gourmand. If we next time have more talk of the future, this being Tomorrows Table and less talk of the Historic table and Mr Törnquist then it will fulfill the premise of the title of the event fully.
Tasting my way around the Spritmuseum finding the chocolate art of award winning pastry and desert chef Malin Haak. Hoping Malin will get more mentioning on this website that is her husbands now that she is a winner as well.
OMG! These chocolate, browned butter & hazelnut dreams in front are TO LIVE FOR (photo above) The lighter brown pastry in the background was as light as a cloud, containing sea buckthorn/havtorn and rose hip among other exciting ingredients. Want to taste more of Miss Haak´s own specialties that´s for sure.
Tasting something I never tried or heard of before. Hopple is hop/humle and apple/äpple combined in a beverage. Really like it! Hoping to see this new drink and company real soon.
Bubbly anyone? Cool and mysterious deco for Tomorrows table at the Spirits Museum/ Spritmuseum.
Brännland cider utilize the cold weather that comes with the norhern Swedish territory in their apple production of ice cider. I really recommend trying this tasty apple drink. Like the look of lable and bottle as well. Congrats I must say!
Since my Designbloggarna colleague Stina Lodén posted her views on the Finlayson textile version of Tom of Finland which I did not agree on I find myself showing my Israeli friend Maor Gil´s photo´s taken by Tom Zvily in my quest to exhibit more of the male sensualism as I see it and what I think is not shown in the way I like. Often when the heteronormativ society looks at the gay world it get´s misunderstood in my opinion. The added graphics Crazy Sexy Cool (below) which is just what Mr Gil exudes made me think of the TLC album with the same name. Here is the song Red Light Special from that album :
The walks I take almost everyday gives me this amazing view over City Hall seen from the south of Södermalm.
A lovely sunny November week in Stockholm that I enjoyed comes to a friday end with me going to the first hearing of a lawyer firm. I have never been to such a meeting and do not know what to expect. At 2 pm/14.00 on friday I meet with Setterwalls , l law firm investigating the work situation of the TV4 production Äntligen Hemma that I worked with for 10 seasons, 5 years and that came to an end 2011 in a way I never expected. I wrote about the sexist work environment on my blog then ( dec 2011) but only the newspapers seemed to care or find some explosive material in writing about it.
It took many years and more accusations being made against one man until a way of handling this rotten work situation and the mistreatment, injustice and sexism was stopped. After one hour and lots of backtracking of bad memories I was done with my first hearing of a law firm ever. A new experience of something I hope I will never have to do again.
I ended my friday with a birthday bowling bash for my favorite protégé. Being a god father of Arvid 11 years old, son of my dear long time friends Lars&Linda we celebrated Arvid the way he wished for, ending with dinner and desert at home in Täby. How happy I am to be able to celebrate with my close friends and family.
Stay in touch

Saturday 2nd April 2016
Having conceded six goals last
time they met these opponents, and five goals in their
previous game last Saturday, keeping a clean sheet was a
major priority for Sittingbourne at Chipstead.
Securing their goal so tightly
that goalkeeper Adam Molloy only had a couple of
spectacular-ish saves to make, Sittingbourne then just
had to finish off the job by knocking in a couple at the
other end.
They couldn't have got much
closer, hitting the post and having two cleared
virtually off the line as well as wasting the ultimate
chance – a first half penalty.
That's three penalties
Sittingbourne have had saved in the last few weeks –
they blast them in for fun in pre-match warm-ups but
it's a whole lot different taking them under pressure in
an actual match.
Following the 5-3 Walton Casuals
defeat just down the road from Chipstead in the previous
game, Sittingbourne changed half their back four. Bill
Parkinson came in at right-back with skipper Tom Brunt
pushed up to midfield in place of the unavailable Tom
Carlse, and Jono Richardson returned at centre-half with
George Crimmen stepping down.
The game started with Chipstead
having quite a lot of possession but not doing much
dangerous with it, and Sittingbourne looking threatening
on the counter-attack.
And that's the way it played
out, really, except Sittingbourne got on top at the end
of each half without quite turning their domination into
Dan Hughes had a great chance
midway through the first half, breaking clear down the
inside-left channel from a pass by the ever-elusive
Steven Ita, but he couldn't make the most of it, while
Adam Allen slammed another shot close to the far post.
At the other end Molloy made two
excellent tip-overs, though to be fair he'd have been
disappointed to have been beaten by either shot.
The great opportunity of an
otherwise pretty chance-free half came on 44 minutes
when an Ita corner bounced up and was handled by near
post defender Pilipe.
The Sittingbourne fans behind
the goal wittily called for Stefan Wright, who was
warming up on the touchline, to take the penalty in
recognition of his horror miss in last month's League
Cup semi-final at Faversham.
It was Ita who stepped up but
just like the penalty he had saved at East Grinstead a
few weeks ago, he stroked it too close to the keeper,
who had time to dive and save it.
With drizzly rain replacing the
pre-match sunshine, the second half was another fairly
even affair with Chipstead only carving out one real
chance, which was stabbed hurriedly straight at Molloy
from close in.
The best chances were all for
Sittingbourne, most of them in the last few minutes as
Chipstead tired.
Miles Cornwell burst clear on
Hughes' pass but the keeper tipped his shot over, Wright
was just beaten to a cross-shot from fellow sub Jake
Embery by a covering defender, Crimmen had a header from
a corner cleared off the line, and Cornwell hit a
terrific shot from 20 yards that beat the Chips keeper
only to ping back off the post.
Sittingbourne were also denied
when the lively Embery was tripped as he raced at the
back four. Instead of lying there whining about it, he
quickly got up and played Cornwell clear from the
free-kick, only for the referee to call it back,
presumably for having been taken from the wrong place.
After the chaos of their
defending at times the previous week, this was a proper
performance by Sittingbourne to earn only their second
league goalless draw of what's been a long season.
Just four games left now - three
of them at home – and plenty of reasons to then look
forward to next season after a deserved rest for players
who have given plenty throughout this season.

General Yeager and I visited France in October 2008. We drove into Biarritz around 7 pm to the hotel where Kings & Queens stayed. I knew it'd be expensive but for one night, we could splurge.
We parked, walked in. The first line of defense looked down his nose at us and asked if he could help us. We were in jeans. I replied, in French, Non, merci, and kept walking. That set him back.
At the front desk, I asked how much the rooms were.
The friendly young man asked, with or without an ocean view.
Me: Depends on the price. (Most people in a place like that wouldn't have the guts to say that, let alone ask the price).
FYM(friendly young man): (in French) $450.
I definitely felt like Rip Van Winkle. As I weighed the idea of a splurge vs. we'd probably only be in the room to sleep and shower – and then continue on our travels; I told General Yeager: It's about $450.
General Yeager, without skipping a beat, said: I want to sleep in the room, not buy it!
FYM burst out laughing as I did. One could tell he agreed.
We left and found another place for the night. It was pretty noisy, but clean & really for what it was still too expensive ($110).
BUT. It was near the Salon de The we would never have found otherwise.
More later.
