text: I've been wondering this for a while. Is the bootie good for P-play? I'm trying to decide between getting the bootie and the Nexus G-play (size medium). Does anyone have the Nexus G play that can comment on how well it will stay in. Is it ok for extended wear? The base looks comfortable on both.

During today's tea break I read an article in Writing Magazine. It is A Novel in A Month by Steven Chapman. The topic is the annual NANoWriMo challenge about getting 50,000 words in a month.
I am still resisting the urge to revise and edit each chapter of Tuesday's Child before I finish the first draft, so I found the following of particular interest.
"By beating your inner editor into submission you'll soon realise how good a writer you actually are. It sounds contradictory but without that nagging voice beating your every move, you'll focus on plot and character development rather than fussing over the finer details."

Last Sunday, I went over to Tom Spleth's house to talk about a project he was working on and needed some help getting done. He had been prototyping porcelain boxes to put a series of prints of skulls into. We had a week to: construct a kiln, fire-proof a room, construct pouring jigs to help pour the 150 pound molds, cast the boxes in porcelain, fire the boxes, and polish the boxes. He needs 20 total, but by the 1st of February we needed 1 complete box.
These are some of Tom's cups.
The cone 6 porcelain slip.
Tom and Ian with pouring jigs.
Ian staring dreamily into the slip. (It's claimed that if you stare deep enough, you can see your future....)
Tom Pouring
We missed the bucket once, but luckily a lot of it fell on me as I tried to catch it.
The pieces in the kiln,
Detail (looks like a parking garage)
We built the kiln up around the cast box lids and bottoms, leaving just a few inches around the pieces and kiln furniture, and then put the top on.
Tom fired it today and everything seems to be fine. I will post an image of the boxes when they are finished.

So...SEXPO! It was GREAT! Mum, please stop reading now. If you want.
I got all dolled up after work, went to meet my friends for some drinks beforehand and then we headed in. As you enter, sexy chicks in very few clothes and large muscled men also in very few clothes hand you a free DVD of porn and a magazine, so if you buy nothing else, at least you'll come away with something. I haven't watched/read either yet, but my friend Sharnee says it's just standard low-production-value girl-on-girl bore, so I might give it a miss. Anyone want some free porn?
Sexpo was held at the Southbank Convention Centre, so obviously it's freaking huge. To the left is a big stage and a few grandstand type seats surrounding it where they had strippers doing shows and whatnot - I didn't get much of a chance to watch, too many people packed in. To the right of the room at the far end there was a beach volleyball set up, the 'Laporium' lapdance area and also a little cordoned off room where a friend of mine played strip poker. And in the middle of all this were the STORES!
I would like to say "I saw things there I have never seen before"....but I'd be lying to you, because I've seen a lot. I didn't get to take any photos inside the event, sorry guys, but here's a photo of the stash I came away with, and me looking very happy with it.
A lot of the stores had really great "showbag" deals - most for under $50. That's what I ended up purchasing - it contained that long purple vibrator to the right which is honestly the coolest thing I've ever seen...or used (it's self-penetrating), a vibrating cock ring, another cockring with a bullet and remote control, a pack of batteries, a squirt gun in the shape of a penis, a penis keyring, a cum towel and some fuzzy handcuffs - all for $50. Total bargain. The vibrator alone would usually cost something like $80 I'd say.
Also in the picture is the purple Rock Chick in the bottom left corner - I've been wanting one of these for AGES and yes, it's as good as they say. That cost me $100. You can get them on femplay.com for $116.95 - quick hit, femplay is actually quite a cheap Australian site with great (discreet) fast postage, you always get a free gift, and if you write a review for one of their toys like I did, you get a 10% discount next time you order!
The other two things I bought were that big metal pole with restraints on either side which I thought was way too cool to pass up - that was $30. And also just that blue bottle of toy cleaner (essential). So...I'm...well stocked for now.
As for the rest of the stores, there was a lot of the same thing around - lots of stores with same ol' cute costumes, LOTS of vibrators, lube everywhere. There was a huge range of prices vibrators though, everything from bargain- bin $10 ones all the way up to $300 chiq ones. I think it was Four Seasons that had a stall with just condoms, and strangely they didn't have much of a range from what I could see. Then there were the hardcore stores where you just stared open-mouthed at the giant black double-enders or the massive whips and things that you only see in your sexy sexy nightmares. Also, Pricasso was there, painting pictures with his ween.
The store that I couldn't stay away from though was called Merci Toys, and I've got a catalogue here that's so colourful and pretty and I wish you could see, but I just went to their website and it's entirely in Japanese. So if you can read Japanese or just wanna look at pretty pictures go HERE to check out their toys, my favourite of which seems to be a rip off of the fabled Hitachi Magic Wand. Now...I've never used one...but it's legendary. And Merci's rip off named the Fairy was pretty amazing. That's all I have to say about that.
Last but not least I'd like to round this post out by saying that I've become a voting member of the Australian Sex Party - Australia's newest political party. They are "for personal freedoms and sexual rights". You can have a read of their policies here, but definitely check out their whole site, it's pretty interesting. I know it's a fringe party at the moment but...I like it, hopefully it will grow to something awesome. And I got a free shirt that says I Love Sex. And seriously, who doesn't?

i am so glad to hear that you had a good time!!!ReplyDelete
Sorry to sound naieve, but what does a vibrator being self-penetrating mean?! It sounds cool, I guess!!ReplyDelete
Hey JT...well...when a mommy loves a daddy...ReplyDelete
No uh, so the vibrator has a coil in the middle of it, and when you turn it on, the coil spins, pushing the top half in and out.
Make sense?
Ahh - I see .... hands free in a way then I guess!?ReplyDelete
The wonders of modern technology, working for the betterment of mankind!

It is sad to report that today is the last day of the trip. It's been amazing thus far with the continuation of many cherished spring traditions along with some new stuff that might someday get the same distinction. The weather has really been perfect and the crowds pretty much non-existent. What a shame to have to leave with such ideal conditions, but we can't dwell on that. What's important is we have one last day to enjoy. One last day to get the players that have eluded me the first four. After four days, my list was actually extremely short; only 6 Padres players (including those invited to major league camp) hadn't signed a card for me this trip. I was looking for Eric Stults, Adys Portillo, Gregorio Petit, Matt Stites, Donn Roach, and Wilfredo Boscan. Recognize any of those names? Maybe one? I already got all the "big" names; Headley, Maybin, Quentin, Marquis, Volquez, Grandal, Alonso. No super stars here, and that's not a problem. These are the players I'm pulling for. The lack of marquee players (pun intended) has to be part of why attendance is so low.
Today's game: Padres vs Royals. Lots of former Padres on the Royals squad: Miguel Tejada, Xavier Nady, and George Kottaras all stopped to sign their (Padres) card. FYI- Thursday is $2 Hot Dog day at Peoria Sports Complex (except on 3/21).
It was a great day for autographs, totalling 75 signed cards on the day. When Wilfredo Boscan signed for me after he pitched in the game, I had completed the entire roster. (For the 2nd straight year.) Last year it took 6 days and with some luck and some effort, I pulled it off in just 5 days this trip. This was really a surprise because a few players are participating in the World Baseball Classic and wouldn't be around camp for very long.
The Padres would eventually lose the game 5-4 and that puts us at 2-3 for the trip. That's better than last year!! The final autograph tally is 239. I'm pleased with that.
On the way home, we filled up in Palm Desert and opted for a make shift casino night since we didn't go to one in Arizona. We dined at the Waters Cafe in the Agua Caliente Casino. This whole place smelt like an ashtray. Steak and Eggs were decent.
And thanks for the $165.
Also want to thank Seth, Shinichi, Remo, Brian P., Deanna, and all the players who took some time for me. Thanks to you as well for reading this and I hope you enjoyed it!
One last thing… your vote for the Best Beard on the Padres poll.
Vincent, Cashner, or Thayer?

Dear friends,
As you have noticed it's been a while since my last update here. I am working on a proper site/portfolio (seeing as the gallery is too slow with keeping their promises), which I hope will provide an elegant and comprehensive insight into my work. Many thanks to all the friends and colleagues who lend their helping hand here! I love you all.
I am also planning to finally get down to my lithography project (I know many of you look forward to the results) after I am through with all the lined up commissions. I will definitely be selling litho prints on the site as well.
Also, Aurora Borealis is releasing a special vinyl version of the acclaimed Horseback album (released last year by Utech) . It is a great chance to hear the analogue version of the beautiful songs by Jenks Miller and witness The Moment of Truth drawing at the right scale: The Invisible Mountain

Transported logic
The government is talking about expanding Heathrow -if the airport meets its pollution targets. To achieve this, they've started leaking the idea of creating a congestion charge around the airport... to remove some ground transportation CO2 (powered by taxed petrol/diesel).
The alternative of taxing aviation fuel (kerosene) and invest in new high-speed rail has not been investigated by the Edington report: the ex-BA boss who was asked to work on the "future of transportation", which he did by totally ignoring indirect costs such as environment, health, etc...
For instance, it is claimed that delaying the airport expansion could cost £5bn. The flight path to Heathrow alone is impacting over 1 million Londoners. Who has factored in those costs in the equation?

I am "mblogging" (blogging on the move) in the Eurostar back from Paris today. And I can't help that thinking that it's a very civilised way of travelling, yet light on "indirect costs".
- The journey is 2h55 or something like this, my outbound train was on time and the return is predicted to arrive 15 mn late. If I was to fly they would not even apologise for 15 mn -actually, given the terrible weather today and yesterday (check those tornado images), I would expect flights to be rather 1h late.
- Door to door, Richmond to Colombes, I guesstimated that taking the train makes my journey about 30 mn longer. That's if planes are on time. But I can work, sleep, eat or read for about 3 hours -uninterrupted. So it's much more productive than having to check-in, queue for security, having your deodorant taken away (they don't seem to make 100ml sprays), walk, lounge, lurk, walk, wait, second secutiry check, wait, walk, fly, walk, wait, show your passport, get your luggage back and then travel from CDG to Paris...
- Costwise, it's probably similar if you book you air ticket in advance but for an extra TEN POUNDS you can travel Eurostar Business Premier. Which means you're comfortably installed in wide reclinable seats and today the menus was as follows: selection of French wines (inc. some Champagne), selection of a cold morteau sausage with potato salad or some hake and prawn pie, with a tartlet to finish. It's almost a shame my French colleagues kindly bought me lunch :-) Plus you have power for your laptop... BTW, the difference in price was easily recouped by not having to buy breakfast on the outbound and saving on taxi fares to/from the airport as you "land" in the middle of the town. Oh, and free magasines and airline-style departure lounges.
So, it's not a coincidence that the Eurostar took over 70% share on journeys between London and Paris. And I guess that's quite a few planes that won't be buzzing over Richmond and sending CO2, CO, NO2, etc, into the Ozone Layer. Shame those yellow trains are moving away from Waterloo.
Which brings me to my favourite topic: all that was possible thanks to public investment in transport infrastructure. From the French governement and as long as 25 years ago when they initiated the TGV. Oh, and that tunnel. Rod Eddington's report is thus very disappointing: why do we still have to fly to Edinburgh or even Manchester then?
This week's Economist lead was on gridlock campaing and the article was supporting road charging. Excuse me but pricing poor people out of the roads is not the solution. We should think about using transport real-estate more effectively (I am one in favour of bus lanes, non-share cycling paths) and easing journeys with "intermodal hubs" (like the Hammersmith bus-tube station, but much better designed please).

Excessive excuse!
Today, we learn that the WATERLOO & CITY LINE is "Suspended due to excessive dust on platforms". Must be the daftest excuse we've heard for a long time...
The Drain has just been shut for 6 months for a complete refurbishment but broke down the next day after service had resummed...
Excessive incompetence?

I've nothing against petitions as such. I've stood in the street with them myself, urging people to sign. But they only work at a local level. Get 400 signatures on a petition asking for a pedestrian crossing and Councillors will take you seriously. Their next four years of expenses may depend on appearing sympathetic to what residents what.
I don't believe petitions work at a national level. Has any significant social change in British history come about as the result of a petition? I can't think of one.
So I won't be signing this:
We, the undersigned, want to be able to choose to cycle for many more of our daily journeys. To do this we need to feel safe when we cycle.
We demand that governments prioritise the creation of environments that encourage and support cycling, specifically this must include cycle paths separated from traffic, as a way of enabling many more women to travel by bike.
This is delusional stuff. Does anyone think that Gordon Brown cares a toss about a petition from Sustrans?
And when it is presented to government, Sustrans will get back a bland letter saying the government is right behind these objectives and fully committed to cycling. Blah blah.
And now here are some pics of a Sustrans-approved cycle path separated from traffic. Does a lonely, filthy, badly maintained environment 'enable many more women to travel by bike'? I don't think so.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)
Love never fails, its Way is just
It is not proud and offers trust
Sweet charity, its mercy sought
Love hopes all things, forget this not
It does not boast, it does not lust
And yet rejoice in Truth it must
It envies not, remains robust
It is not rude and can't be bought
Love never fails
It suffers long, it will not rust
It perseveres – won't turn to dust
God's Love in us brings on pure thought
It will not die, can't be distraught
Love will protect – your heart entrust
Love never fails
1 John 4:16 We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.
Matthew 6:19-20 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.
This poem is written as a Rondeau which is a French form of poetry. The Rondeau consists of 15 lines which make up three stanzas: a quintet, a quatrain, and a sestet. This form of poetry has a specific rhyme scheme and metrical length.

Thoughts on Angus Jones' Recent Comments
Recently, Jones denigrated his own sitcom, calling it "filth." He recommended that viewers not watch it.
I've never seen the show from start to finish–just clips here and there. I was unaware of who Angus Jones was until this controversy.
My reactions: I wouldn't be surprised if Two and a Half Men did contain a lot of questionable content. As a Christian, I find that my values are not in alignment with quite a bit of what's on T.V., in the movies, or even being sung on the airwaves. That's one reason I've gravitated toward contemporary Christian music on the radio–particularly KLOVE.
(I'm just not much of a T.V. person and doubt that would change, even if the values of the shows shifted toward those more parallel with Christian values.)
But, in spite of my agreeing with Jones on much of the content in the media surrounding us, I have to disagree with him on what he did.
If he discovered halfway through the season that his values weren't simpatico with the values on Two and a Half Men, he could have gone about satisfying the dictates of his conscience in a way which (doubtlessly) didn't alienate his fellow co-workers.
Because despite the fact that Angus now has his testimony on YouTube, it's much more likely that the people most affected by his Christian faith would be those around him. Those who've worked with him, for example.
I'm wondering how the director and producer of Two and a Half Men feel about his comments. I wonder how his fellow actors feel. And how about the rest of the crew–people who have put countless hours behind a camera lens or nailing together sets?
I'd think that they'd feel betrayed.
But–you stutter–not denouncing filth is wrong! It means he's compromised.
But I'm not against him taking steps to right the wrongs of the show. Again, I haven't seen the show, so I don't know how bad it might be. But I would think that if he expressed his feelings to those in charge that something could be done. Perhaps his own character could take on a different role–one that served to highlight the problems inherent in the drugs/sex/rock and roll lifestyle that Hollywood so often glamorizes.
And if not, yes, he could have quit.
But he didn't have to denigrate the show in the way he did.
After the dust had settled, after a year or two, then he might have explained–dispassionately–how his own conscience was not in alignment with the shows values. And if he had done that those working on the show–even those in the upper hierarchy–might have listened more to what he was saying.
Jones seems to have a lot of energy and passion for his faith. He's a young guy, and, clearly, he feels that he needs to give back to the world. He feels that his faith should be making a difference.
These are extremely common feelings for people on the verge or threshold of adulthood. And that can lead to good things, but it can also lead to spastic things.
I hope that Jones' faith continues to grow as he continues to mature, and I hope that he realizes that though Christians aren't of the world, we are supposed to be in it. And that means, sometimes, finding ourselves involved in ambiguous situations in which it's better to wade through, however mucky, as opposed to denounce.

I guess in all fairness, I will show you what didn't get done. This is today's laundry. At least of it. It's kind of hard to see, but it's quite a bunch. Trust me. I don't think I've seen the bottom of the pile in forever!
This is the dishes. Shhh... Don't tell, but I didn't wash them up last night after dinner. So now I have last night's to do, AND tonight's. Can we say FAIL! Oh well, it's just the way it goes around here some days. I promise, I'm not going to lose sleep over dirty dishes or laundry!
I thought that I would post these pics so I could squelch the rumors running around that I am Superwoman or that I "do it all". Nope. Some days I get work done, other days I play with my sewing machine, play outside, or answer the call of the couch. The hard part is to make sure the playing doesn't get more time than the cleaning!

As usual....Michael Savage is right on the mark. (not sure why subvet & mohawk think he's an idiot. Savage is one of the most astute & aware talk show hosts I've ever heard.)
The bottom line is this....Political correctness is going to be the ruin of Europe as they slowly transition to Shariah law. If the people of Europe don't care about there future...why should we? Incidently...our country is next unless the voting public wake up. I ain't holdin' my breath though. Most of 'em went to public school.....sigh.

Another One Bites The Dust.
My husband is becoming infamous for destroying wine glasses. Though the glasses given to you at a wine tasting event are very fragile and cheaply made, I still like to keep them to remind myself that I've already been to that tasting vineyard. I thought this was a good photo shot of the destroyed glass and how it blends in with the background.
Just the other night I had an amazing wine. I recommend it if you are a red wine lover.
Nappa Valley Meritage 2005
with it having:
69% Merlot
29% Cabernet Sauvignon
2% Cabernet Franc

TEMPEST by Julie Cross
January 17, 2012 by Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin's Griffin
352 Pages
ARC Received via LibraryThing
Preorder via Amazon
The year is 2009. Nineteen-year-old Jackson Meyer is a normal guy… he's in college, has a girlfriend… and he can travel back through time. But it's not like the movies – nothing changes in the present after his jumps, there's no space-time continuum issues or broken flux capacitors – it's just harmless fun.
That is… until the day strangers burst in on Jackson and his girlfriend, Holly, and during a struggle with Jackson, Holly is fatally shot. In his panic, Jackson jumps back two years to 2007, but this is not like his previous time jumps. Now he's stuck in 2007 and can't get back to the future.
Desperate to somehow return to 2009 to save Holly but unable to return to his rightful year, Jackson settles into 2007 and learns what he can about his abilities.
But it's not long before the people who shot Holly in 2009 come looking for Jackson in the past, and these "Enemies of Time" will stop at nothing to recruit this powerful young time-traveler. Recruit… or kill him.
Piecing together the clues about his father, the Enemies of Time, and himself, Jackson must decide how far he's willing to go to save Holly… and possibly the entire world.
When I first heard about TEMPEST and the hype surrounded it, I was conflicted. On one hand, I do love a good male POV drama. On the other, I hate hype. I will admit it, I'm such a pessimist that I don't know what to do with myself. Thanks to LibraryThing I won a copy of TEMPEST and eventually got around to reading it.
I'm still conflicted. Part of me thought that it was awesome and action packed and original, and then the other part of me thinks it wasn't worth any of the hype surrounding it. The story follows Jackson Meyer, a 19 year old with the power to time travel (a very different sort of time travel than you might expect), as he is forced two years back in time after witnessing the death of his girlfriend, Holly. Jackson is honestly not a character I really liked. I mean, he was a stereotypical teenager guided by his manhood instead of his head, but I never got the impression that he really loved the girl the cover promised us he loved until he just suddenly declared his love. Their relationship seemed much more casual than anything, giving me pause in wondering why he was going through all the hoops to save her. I had a hard time connecting with him and his motivation, or getting past the fact I thought he came off as a huge jerk VERY early in the novel.
So the characterization in the novel is rather flat otherwise. The plausibility factor is also rather low. For example, Jackson's friend Adam has way too many connections and his knowledge level in stuff like hacking and DNA labs and mathematics is way too high for me to believe him for an instant. Why am I giving this book four stars? What this novel had going for it was action, intrigue, and a science fiction element that made me want to know more. It was very reminiscent of THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE in a sense, and since I love that book so much, I couldn't help but enjoy TEMPEST's take on the situation. Cross's take is definitely different, and for that she definitely gets some kudos.
There were a few points in the book where I got somewhat bored, parts that were reiterations or needless aspects that could have easily been cut, but the book definitely did not suffer from a lack of excitement. From gunfights to time traveling to mystery elements, there is little to keep you bored for long. But action packed stuff only makes up a little of the characterization problems that keep this book from getting what it could have gotten. I wanted more, so the hype for me once again fell sadly flat. I'll still check out book 2!
VERDICT: With characterization issues that plague the story and a lack of plausibility at times, TEMPEST has a strong redeeming aspect – great action and a strong mythos – but is not fully redeemed. More of a 3.5/5 than anything.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) has told supporters in Utah that he will filibuster the legislation to authorize Treasury Department officials to add to the nation's multitrillion-dollar debt.
"That's my intention, to filibuster it," said Lee, a member of the Senate Tea Party Caucus.
Lee said he might be persuaded to back off if Obama and Democratic leaders agreed to a major concession, which GOP strategists consider highly unlikely.
"The concession would [have to] be something very significant, very permanent and very binding, like a balanced-budget amendment — and passage of it, not just a vote," Lee said.
Lee added he would vote against an increase of the debt limit no matter what scenario unfolded.

Like Angelica dreaming up the rugrats, or the ed, edd, and eddy children being ghosts, or literally anything that takes a lighthearted and fun kids show and has to turn it into some tragic take of rape or murder or misinformed mental illness.
So you know what? From now on I'm gonna do the exact opposite. Every cool grim-dark show is now because of a bunch of children. To get us started:
Game of Thrones: A middle-school DnD campaign with the most angry, vindictive DM who has promised to kill everyone's player characters (and their family) by the end.
The Walking Dead is actually a bunch of kids playing zombie apocalypse in their neighborhood and every time someone "dies," it's because their parents called them home for supper.
Breaking Bad is actually just a fanfic the students in Mr. White's class write about him because no one has any idea what he does with his free time and the running jokes about it got wildly out of hand.
These are all officially my headcanons for the actual shows now
someone should get these kids to write for television

This May 7 peek by not one but two NASA space telescopes lays bare secrets hidden in the heart of the Flame Nebula. There a stellar nursery, the star cluster NGC 2024, has older stars (some 1.5 million years old) around its outer edges and younger ones (only about 200,000 years old) at its center.
This discovery, revealed by combining an infrared view from the Spitzer Space Telescope and an x-ray image from the Chandra telescope, surprised astronomers. They'd expected the cluster's oldest stars to be at its center, cooking up new stars at its edges.
"Our findings are counterintuitive," said study leader Konstantin Getman of Penn State University, in a statement. "It means we need to think harder and come up with more ideas of how stars like our sun are formed."
Bursting from the surface of the sun, a solar flare is seen in all its menacing glory in this May 8 image from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory.
The medium-strength, M5.2-class flare erupting from the left side of the sun emitted a blast of radiation. If aimed at the Earth, such flares can disrupt GPS and other communication signals.
The trail of the April 27 tornado that killed 16 people in an Arkansas town is shown in this May 2 picture. Hundreds of homes were destroyed in the tragedy.
The image from NASA's Earth Observing-1 satellite shows a brown slash through Mayflower, Arkansas—the path the tornado took as it crossed Interstate 40 before flattening homes near Lake Conway.
Stellar dust clouds gleam amid distant star clusters in this May 2 Your Shot look from New South Wales, Australia.
Located some 17,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Puppis, the star cluster NGC 2467 seen in this photo burns brightly with infant stars, illuminating the hollowed-out gas cloud that was their nursery.
Our own sun is suspected of originating in a similar star cluster, where wind from other infant stars and their solar eruptions would have helped shape the early solar system.
Shrouded in its signature haze, Saturn's moon Titan has a curious crescent within a crescent in this view from the international Cassini spacecraft released on May 5.
Curving across the moon's darkened southern sky, the smaller crescent is formed by a polar vortex circling Titan's south pole, raising a wave of haze just high enough to catch a fleeting bit of sunlight.
Flames that threatened the Chilean city of Valparaiso left behind the broad reddish-brown scar visible in the center of a May 4 image captured by NASA's Earth Observing-1 satellite.
The April wildfire, one of the deadliest fires in the region's history, claimed 15 lives, destroyed more than 3,300 homes, and burned 2,385 acres (965 hectares) of land.
While exploring Mars up close last week, NASA's Curiosity rover drilled into this sandstone outcrop.
A test hole and the full drill hole, some 2.6 inches (6.5 centimeters) deep, can be seen at the top center of the photo of the rock, dubbed "Windjana" by mission scientists reminded of an Australian gorge.
From the hole in the rock—the first sandstone drilled on Mars—the team captured a sample uncontaminated by the dust covering the surface of Mars. Curiosity's instruments will analyze its mineral and chemical content. The overriding mission of the $2.5-billion rover is to assess whether the red planet was once habitable.

Its such an exciting time to be a small business! We can do big things, on a budget that would have been laughable not that long ago.
If you aren't already reading Seth Godin's blog, well, you should be, you'll find lots of inspiring ideas about marketing your small business. Seth's writing is masterful and concise. His most recent post One, a few, most or all provides a brilliant framework to look at a small business marketing strategy.
When I read Seth's post, it made me think of the saying "Don't Boil The Ocean". Its a bit of a cliche, but so often marketing efforts can get lost by attempting to do too much. Thinking about your market in terms of one-few-most-all helps you get clear what you are after.
As a small business, what would happen if you focussed your efforts on the ONE or the FEW customers?
ONE: You're a needle, the market is a haystack … A FEW: Being exceptional matters most. Stand out, don't fit in. Shun the non-believers.
Lets leave it to the bigger (richer) companies to focus on the ideas that need the 'most' and 'all' markets. They can try and boil the ocean. We don't need to. A small business focussed on the one or the few is in a powerful position.

Column as I see 'em …
Let's play a little game I like to call, "What Should the Editor Do?"
A woman called me first thing Monday morning to complain about what was, if true, an obviously bad decision by a business here in town.
The woman, who didn't tell me until nearly 30 minutes into our conversation that she is African American, said she accompanied a friend into the business and, while waiting, told an employee she really, really had to pee.
As we near the Nov. 8 General Election, I thought it would be a good time to remind everyone of important dates and times. We have had several inquiries regarding registering to vote, making a party change and other election related questions.
Mail-in ballots are being sent out daily. Call our office to request an application.

If you think spring is the best time to take soil samples, you might want to rethink that.
Fall is actually the optimum time to take soil samples for fertility analyses.
For many years, the high saturated fat content of coconut oil made the oil a no-no for individuals looking to lose weight or live healthier lifestyles. Recent scientific reports have said saturated fat may not be as bad as once thought or as bad when compared to trans-fat. This has allowed coconut oil to gain popularity.
This one's for the guys
I know, ladies, it's all about our husbands, boyfriends, dads, brothers or any other guy in your life, this time.
I have found a great way for us to have our guys looking better than ever at a very low price. We pamper ourselves to make sure we look nice … I think it's time for the guys to have a turn.
Guys, don't let this go to your heads, but I have found a couple of monthly subscriptions to make life a little easier, and that are cheap!
What a beautiful weekend. I know many of you are wishing it would cool off, but I'm thankful it's staying warm. The nights are gorgeous. Even if the sun is setting earlier, it's still making incredible pictures to close the day.
It was the nightmare everyone talks about that finally came true.
A man is trapped inside his burning vehicle Friday on Versailles Road and, of course, a train blocks the crossing, delaying a full-throated response from first responders desperate to come to his rescue.
As we reported the tragedy on our website and social media platforms, outrage grew as people took to their Facebook pages to complain about the trains and demand that something be done.
But what?
I don't normally offer things to the news, but with this being the 15th anniversary of the attack I felt that there needs to be something in the paper to help our citizens remember this horrendous attack against America on our homeland.
Before having children, I vowed never to become "that mom," but sometime in the past 13 years I have molded into her.
I realized that I had become "that mom" Thursday afternoon, when I opted to buy my son boxer shorts rather than tackle the seemingly endless pile of laundry that a family of five acquires during the week.
After a brief (pun intended) stop at Walmart, I decided the best course of action regarding dinner was the good ole standby — Mickey D's.
The federal government has made it easier to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

Racing commences on Monday 5th June, with an opportunity for competitors to sail a practice race, then the Championships run Tuesday 6th to Friday 9th June. The Championships provide a great opportunity for teams to prepare for the 2017 World Championships in Sardinia, Italy in September. RSrnYC's PRO Stuart Childerley commented, "The intention is to run eleven Championship races. We are preparing for a large fleet and I am sure the sailors will find racing on the Hillhead Plateau area of the Central Solent challenging and fun. The Solent in June can be a stunning championship venue."
The club is greatly appreciative of its latest sponsor- RAYMARINE Ltd, a world leader in marine electronics. Raymarine will provide onsite support at the event, and a selection of high value prizes for the final prize-giving. Gemma Dunn from Key Yachting, said "Raymarine Racemaster and Tacktick systems are fitted to most of the J/70s we deliver here. They are the go-to, easy to use, easy to read displays for these boats."
The fleet that has assembled to via for the European Championship title is second to none. There are ten nations (Spain, France, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Monaco, Netherlands, Russia, Switzerland, & USA) participating in the forty-five-boat fleet, including Claudia Rossi's PETITE TERRIBLE from Ancona, Italy, the 2016 European champion. Chasing her team hard will be another top woman skipper, Russia's Valeria Kovalenko and her ARTTUBE team from Moscow, winners of the Monaco J/70 Winter Series. From Monaco, Stefano Roberti's PICCININA crew, winners of the Monaco Primo Cup Credit Suisse in 2016, will also be hoping to parlay success in Monaco on the Mediterranean Sea into a top performance on the Solent. Other notable visiting teams include a past J/80 World Champion from Santander, Spain, Jose Maria "Pichu" Torcida and Luis Martin Cabiedes sailing NOTICIAS; the French crew on PAPREC RECYCLAGE skippered by Thomas Mellano for Le Havre, France; Alwin Van Daelen's KIM FROM HOLLAND from the Netherlands; Fredrik Hedlund's AGERA 3 from Buchillon, Switzerland; and Peter Duncan's RELATIVE OBSCURITY from New York, NY, USA.
No question, all of the foreign visitors to the fabled waters of the Solent will have to be sailing with eyes "wide open" and hoping to have a fair amount of "local knowledge" input from various sources. The Solent is relentless in surprising even the local hotshots that have won numerous national and World Championships on this fabled body of water. Strong currents screaming around the various mud banks and winds that are curving constantly over the local hills have thwarted some of the best teams in the world. With 29 British teams making up over half the fleet, it's likely they will populate most of the top of the leaderboard. Rumored to be participating is multiple World Champion and Whitbread Champion Lawrie Smith from Lymington as main trim/ tactician! In addition, the top local crews should be Ian Wilson & Marshall King's SOAK RACING, Martin Dent's JELVIS 7, Simon Ling's SPITFIRE, the Calascione/Ripard team on CALYPSO, Patrick Liardet's COSMIC, and Jack Davies YETI.

Do you need a hug? I believe we all do at some time and right now, I sure could use a hug or two -- from my granddaughters!!
Supplies used:
- Digital stamp "Need a Hug?" by Sunsational Stamps
- Swiss dot embossing folder used to emboss the larger mat
- paper designs from my Silhouette Studio "My Library"
- Brads, buttons and baker twine
Main mat: 13cm x 13cm (5x5)in
8cm x 5 cm (3x2)in
12cm x 4 cm (4 3/4 x 1 1/2) (used 11cm x 6 cm)in
3cm x 2cm (1 1/4 x 3/4)in
9cm in diameter (3 1/2 in in diameter)
TIP: when converting from Metric (centimeters) to Standard just change your measurements in your Studio software under preferences from Auto to CM and than when checking the size of your pieces or changing the sizes, you can just enter the cm numbers and will come up to that size. (unless you know how to do the math!!)
I placed the main mat thru the Sizzix Big Shot and embossed it 2 times since the mat was a bit wider than the embossing folder. And the little 'gap' between the dots covered by the placement of the mats.
Basically, this card makes a 5x5 (size of base card is approx 5.25 x 10.25).
Thank you for stopping by to visit with us at Sunsational Stamps, and for more inspiration, please stop by my blog here . Have a blessed day, and hugs to all...xoxo

Welcome to Card Creating Sunday
It's Card Creating Sunday in My Cricut Craft Room so please be sure to visit Erica's Blog to check out all of the creations made by her design team.
Today I'm sharing my first project using my new Expression 2! So far I'm really enjoying this new machine.
Wobble Card
I loved the image of the boot that is on the E2's preinstalled cartridge Cricut Alphabet and it was perfect for the card I wanted to make for my granddaughter. She is going to be in a rodeo the end of this month and I wanted to show my support.
Boot ~ Cricut Alphabet - Cut @ 4"
I ran the top layer through the Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots folder to look like Ostrich.
This was my first attempt to make a wobble card and was pleased to find out how easy it is to do.
I just wrapped some wire around my zig glue a couple of times and cut it off with wire clippers and attatched to boot and card with tape. I wish you could see it wobble or in this case 'kick'!
I used kraft paper for the card using the Art Philosophy Cartridge #25. The shape of this card was perfect for my wobbling boot.
<Star3> pg. 45 ~ Art Philosophy - Cut 1.08-1.47
Label~ Art Philsophy - Cut 3.30-1.35
I used Pink By Design's stamp from the Rock On Stamp Set for 'Kick up your heels!'
This is the inside.
I used A Child's Year cartridge for the font cut at 0.65-1.00
I'm hoping my card of encouragement brings a good outcome for Jayde and Honey!
Best of Luck to a Great Team!
Thanks for stopping by
Happy Crafting!

Rencontre avec Robert Pattinson, R... door cloneweb
Rob on JT France 2
Translation of part of the interview (Source)
* Paris is one of his favorite city.
* He didn't have time to visit
* They asked him about the royal wedding. How did he feel about it? Does he think it's important?
Rob: "I didn't realise it would get to me this much, really warming to see, I didnt think it would interest me, they're just two normal people, it's nice to see. It's dascinating how people talk about them."
*Laurent: "Did you need to do something different after Twilight? To escape that type of role/genre?"
Rob: "I don't think so but what worried me was that people would accept me or not as this character (WFE)".
*Laurent: "What did Francis do to help you with believing that you were working in a circus during the Depression?"
Rob: "Francis and the crew did an amazing work to make the setting authentic. It was so easy to believe we were in the 30s."
*Laurent: "You finished filming the last Twilight movie recently, was it easy to turn the page? Are you scared for the ~after?"
Rob: "Not really, I filmed all those movies right after the others, I'm relieved but I don't feel like making another one now. I can't pretend to look 17 anymore."
*Laurent: "[Didn't catch what he asked him there]"
Rob: "You have to adapt to new cirscumstance, life is always changing".
*Laurent: "Do you also have time to fall in love?"
Rob: "*laughs* yes I think there's always time for that."
*Laurent: "You're going to be in Bel Ami next?"
Rob: "It's one of my favorite books. [Then he said something about it being weird that it was a French book but they had to adapt it in English.]
Rob, Reese and Christoph on Le Grand Journal
Interview part 1

Cherie FM Interview
Interview with NRJ12
Christoph: Ladies and gentelmen, there's a movie...
NRJ: There's not just one but a whole load. It's called le mag ciné and it starts now.
Vin: I'm happy.
Rob: Featured in this magazine...
Small French course for the Hollywood celebrities promoting in our lovely country.
Vin: Incredible!
It's neither for the pretty girls or the good wine that they're visiting us, right, Rob?
Rob: *laughs*
New movies will be talked about as well as the new dvds out this week.
[Go to 4:04.]
The movie of the week is without any doubt Water For Elephants. A romantic tale set during the Depression in a circus. We can find the beautiful Robert Pattinson hired in a circus troop, who's going to fall in love with the captivating star of the show, Reese Witherspoon, who's promised to the head of the circus, played by Christoph Waltz.
A dangerous love triangle.
Rob: Once upon a time, there was a boy who loved a girl ... who loved. Why is my French accent so bad now?
NRJ: Oh it's not that bad, Rob. Three talented actors, all reunited under a big top, surrounding the star of the circus, an elephant.
Reese: We all tried to be her friend. She was super, she was amazing. I worked with her for five months to practise our routine.
In the movie, Rob is allowed to kiss Reese. We took that chance to give us a lesson on movie kisses.
Rob: Love scenes where we kiss feel easy to me. There's really only one way to do it. You can just do your thing. It sounds like I do porn, you know I do it and that's it. *laughs*
During the casting process, Robert Pattinson was in competition with Channing Tatum and Emile Hirsch. Sean Penn was supposed to play August Rosenbluth, the role went to Christoph Waltz. After Scarlett Johansson turned down the role of Marlena, it's Reese Witherspoon, as a big fan of the book, who decided to join the adventure.
Reese: This sort of work is enjoyable. And I'm talking about the artistic and physical work that doesn't have such a big place in Hollywood anymore. Everything is CGIed now.
Christoph: Someone asked me in Germany the three main reasons why young people should go see this movie. Because it's a tale, a classic. And that's the main reason.
NRJ: A trinity of actors for a story that will make you hold your breath for two hours. If for you the three ingredients of a good movie are, the casting, the love story and a beautiful scenery then Water For Elephants is a smashing hit.
Rob, Reese, Christoph and Francis Lawrence Interview with Allocine. Rob's interview starts around 2:50
The questions they ask him - thanks to Sonia on Pattinsonlife
What did you like about Water For Elephants?
What was the most terrifying? Working with animals or with actors who have Oscars?
Was it love at first sight with Tai, the elephant?
Which period of time would you have liked to live in?
Reese said that your sex scenes were 'disgusting'. What do you have to say about that?
Could you live a wandering life, like Jacob or are you too attached to your comfort?
Choose 3 things you would put in your suitcase...
What do you miss the most about England?
'In order to live happily, live hidden.' Is that your motto?

Precocity in a tiny titanosaur from the Cretaceous of Madagascar
Rogers et al
Sauropod dinosaurs exhibit the largest ontogenetic size range among terrestrial vertebrates, but a dearth of very young individuals has hindered understanding of the beginning of their growth trajectory. A new specimen of Rapetosaurus krausei sheds light on early life in the smallest stage of one of the largest dinosaurs. Bones record rapid growth rates and hatching lines, indicating that this individual weighed ~3.4 kilograms at hatching. Just several weeks later, when it likely succumbed to starvation in a drought-stressed ecosystem, it had reached a mass of ~40 kilograms and was ~35 centimeters tall at the hip. Unexpectedly, Rapetosaurus limb bones grew isometrically throughout their development. Cortical remodeling, limb isometry, and thin calcified hypertrophic metaphyseal cartilages indicate an active, precocial growth strategy.

Since salmon is one of my favorite foods, I try to have it at least once a week. As you know, fish can be expensive and often in too big of portions for just 1-2 people. I found the perfect solution for this! Check out your freezer section at the grocery store and you'll find bags of small fillets that are individually packaged. It's the perfect amount for 2-3 small servings, or 1 huge serving. If you're cooking for yourself, it's just the right amount for a serving at dinner and for lunch the next day, you can put the rest over a salad.
Salmon is a great source of vitamin D (especially if it's wild!), omega-3 fatty acids and protein!
Here's what you'll need for the Nectarine Salsa:
Next, brush your salmon with your favorite BBQ sause (Sweet Baby Rays is mine) and either place directly on grill or make a foil pouch like I did. Grill 15-25 minutes or until it flakes when stabbed with a fork.
Complete recipe below:
2-3 nectarines, chopped (skin on!)
2-3 ripe tomatoes, chopped
1 lime, squeezed
1 small sweet onion (or 1/2 of a larger one), chopped
1 jalapeno, chopped, seeds removed depending on your spice preference
1 handful of cilantro, chopped
1 TB honey
1 tsp olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients. Refrigerate for a couple hours or serve immediately. Spoon over your favorite grilled fish, chicken or pork. Makes about 4-5 serving.

If there is anything that we desire the most, it's that we want things to be bigger. If not for conventional use, then definitely for the novelty and entertainment. From houses to cars to wallets, we want everything to be bigger except our bodies. Record keeping is dedicated to keeping track of the largest items, with competitors defying science and physics to create the biggest creation of their favorite foods, hobbies, and more. Sometimes even Mother Nature intervenes and creates something so big that the media gets a hold of the story and captivates people from all over the world to see the wondrous creation that is natural and beautiful. Even in the state of Texas, there is a saying that states, "Everything is bigger…" There is a certain amount of pride that comes with an enormous size.
Why do we have such a fascination with large things? The answer goes deep into our very human nature and how easy we are captivated by enormous things. Take the Grand Canyon as an example. The vast park delves deep into the group creating large canyons. Those who are faint of heart when it comes to heights are encouraged to not go near the edge, as one wrong step can result in a deadly fall.
There is nothing more humbling than standing next to something so large that it makes you feel tiny. Recently, scientists and astronomers have been able to create images that show the true size of planet Earth in comparison to the other planets in the Solar System. Turns out that Earth is incredibly small, which means that we as humans are microscopic.
Size seems to equal to some sort of power. We even have terms and sayings such as the "big boss" and doing things to help out the "little guy." Small comes across as delicate and weak, while bigger means that there is power, prosperity, and control. Ironically, if the human body is large, society perceives the body as deformed and ugly. Take the perspective of overweight people as an example, or how people perceive someone who has an overgrown body part. The deformity has to be fixed right away. So, theoretically, it's better to be smaller physically and be bigger mentally.
From the largest bucket of fried chicken to the largest human rainbow, this video will be talking about some of the world's largest things in existence. Some of the items are manmade while others were the result of Mother Nature's work of art. As an example of Mother Nature's work of art, there is the largest goldfish that weighs over 30 pounds, which was thrown back into the water after being caught by a fisherman and a photo was captured. There is also the woman with the world's largest breasts as well as the largest cave, carefully carved by nature of thousands of years.
If you're curious about what mankind has created and what nature has evolved into in terms of the largest items, then be sure to watch the video above and get ready to be amazed.

The dawn before election. As people are preoccupied making final thoughtof names to support a little information and education is never too late. TheMovement for Good Governance has made a profile of our 2013 senatorial betsbased on four points: effectiveness, empowering, ethical and platform. Simplyput it the items for effectiveness are the abilities (education, awards,etc.) and track records of the candidates (also listed is absenteeism). Empoweringis the "candidate's ability to unite and engagestakeholders to develop and implement policies and programs that meet genuineneeds of the populace". Now, the items for ethicalgives light to the character and integrity of thecandidate. In addition, platformitems are the attested focus and advocacy of the candidate which they would, most likely, sponsor. Note that we can compare this to what they have already done.
Along with the MGG scorecard one could actually rate the candidates andmake their decisions based on these. Although the list may be impartial thereis still enough time to think who we cast votes and seat for the coming yearsthat may spell difference between progress from peril.

Thyroid Rite Has Been Helping Me Get Back On Track
For several years now I have been struggling with a thyroid condition and believe me, it is not fun. First it is very hard to diagnose and second, it is very hard to treat. What might work for one person, may not work for me and vice versa.
I have been trying natural supplements to help me deal with the symptoms and to help me get to feeling more like me, but finding the right one has been tough.
One I have recently been using is 100Naturals Thyroid Rite. Before I tell you how it has been doing for me here is what you should know specifically about it.
(a) Best Value for the Highest Strength Thyroid Supplement: This product is the highest strength natural thyroid booster available on the market. 120 caps in one bottle, twice as much as other brands. (b) Best Formula: this product contains 14 handpicked natural vitamins, herbal extracts, and minerals. This product not only supports healthy thyroid function, but also supports general well-being.
(c) Natural and Safe: Contains powerful natural extract Kelp, Schizandra , Ashwagandha Root , Bladderwrack , Cayenne Pepper to support optimal metabolism, energy and mood.
(d) Contains Five Essential Minerals: Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium, Copper, Manganese and Molybdenum.
(e) Proudly make in USA by an FDA registered cGMP certified facility with 100% natural ingredients.
I have been using this as directed (one pill in the AM and one in the early PM). I like only having to take two pills a day. So many herbal/natural supplements you have to take handfuls at a time. I won't say there has been huge improvements, but I will say that I feel better. I have more energy, I am sleeping better and my hands and feet are not as cold as they get most of the time. They are still cold, but not as cold!
It took me about 2 weeks to really start seeing a difference. The one thing I have noticed more than the energy is my concentration. I often have had trouble keeping focused on what I was doing and paired with the lack of energy, it could get bad. Since taking the Thyroid Rite I have been able to stay on track more regularly and I feel like I am accomplishing more each day.
I'm by no means a doctor, so I can't say this is what anyone with a thyroid condition should take. I am saying for me it is working and I plan on continuing with it. If in doubt contact your doctor before taking this or any supplement!
You can purchase your own 100Naturals Thyroid Rite HERE!

What has Corinna's column of Fortean bird news got to do with cryptozoology?
Well, everything, actually!
In an article for the first edition of Cryptozoology Bernard Heuvelmans wrote that cryptozoology is the study of 'unexpected animals' and following on from that perfectly reasonable assertion, it seems to us that whereas the study of out-of-place birds may not have the glamour of the hunt for bigfoot or lake monsters, it is still a perfectly valid area for the Fortean zoologist to be interested in.
