Visit to Sheffield
No 1 son moved back to Sheffield October 2016 after a year in Bath. As we live in the Midlands do you think he's trying to move away as far as possible.. hmm! To be honest he went to Sheffield uni at 18 and never came home to live with us again. After gaining a degree and a hard worked for PhD… proud parent alert… as we now can address him as Doctor.
This weekend was a first visit to his new flat and sunny Sheffield. I fell in love with this city twelve years ago and said this was the uni for No 1 son on the very first uni open day visit. I was right and it became his home.
Sheffield Town Hall, with beautiful blue sky.
Sheffield is a vibrant multicultural city with plenty of independent shops as well as the usual retail outlets. However take a slow stroll along the sometimes steep abd cobbled side streets and you will find amazing buildings. Like this fabulous corner pub 'The Three Tuns'. I wonder if they managed to get a double bed upstairs and into those rooms!
Of course a visit to the Peace Gardens is a must. To watch a little one who is daring enough to brave the tall spouts of icy cold water from the fountains. Surprisingly there are always one or two brave? silly? who will dare! And more often than not… someone does!
Food often plays big part of our visit as No 1 is vegan. Arrgghh I hear you murmur, yes it can be difficult, but not here. There is an abundance of varied food outlets, from street vendors to takeaway and high class restaurants. First stop, as H just cannot pass by a pastie shop. He reminds me of the Oxo children following the delicious smell of gravy. His internal sat nav must have all the pastie shops pinpointed! For the rest of us it's the tiny Chinese shop. If the locals use it then it must be good. It was, spicy noodles are always a favourite.
Ok so not the most fantastic photo but from No 1 son's flat it shows how Sheffield is a mix of buildings and big skies. It's wonderful.
Love Sheffield 💕
Keep smiling 😘 Maz

'Red' Sequel Coming!
It should be no surprise that a sequel to last year's Red is in the works. The sequel is being penned by Red writers Jon and Erich Hoeber and I have a feeling this will be one of those rare sequels where it outperforms the original. Red or RED, which stands for "retired, extremely dangerous" will probably have a bigger DVD life than it ever will on the big screen. But that doesn't mean the sequel(s) won't get bigger box office receipts with each outing. Think Austin Powers franchise.
Possible sequel title…
GOLD – Getting Older, Less Dangerous

Why yes, that is a Disney Princess "tattoo" style bandage on my index finger, why do you ask? It was the closest bandage handy at the time, so there you go. What's that? They're all blushing? I have no idea what could've caused the girls to blush. It certainly couldn't have been the words I uttered when I sliced the side of my finger open on a sharp piece of plastic packaging in the bathroom this morning, because you know I never, ever swear.
What? You heard I dropped the F bomb as I grabbed some TP to staunch the stream of blood? Well... Who ratted me out? I bet it was Cinderella. She's such a goody-goody. Ariel and Belle, they have my back. Jasmine too. (Sleeping Beauty I'm not too sure about, because we haven't watched that one in our house yet - the dragon fight scene makes it off limits for now. So, she might be in cahoots with Cindy - you know how those blonde babes are...)
Well, in my defense, if I did let loose with a curse or two, the kiddo wasn't anywhere remotely within earshot and the cat, who was, doesn't give a flying fig about language. And, I only ever swear when I've caused myself great injury and pain. The rest of the time I've developed a highly specialized vocabulary, thanks to the "little pitcher with big ears" that is usually orbiting within 3 feet of me. The kiddo thinks that when one is cut off in traffic, for example, the appropriate exclamation is "Pickle juice!" Alternatively, one might shout (always with gusto) "CHEESE AND TOAST!" or "ZAMBONI!" I've even eliminated the words "crap" and "stupid" from my vocabulary, thanks to hearing the kiddo repeating after Mommy, at the tender age of 18 months, "crap crap crappity crap!"
I am proud to say the kiddo has never heard either Hubby or me use an actual expletive. Those princesses presently wrapped around my finger, however, well, they heard a few, and if I am going to swear, I'm gonna swear big. Yeah, of course Cinderella was telling the truth about that - like I said, she's a goody-two-shoes. She oughta just be glad it was my index finger that I sliced, not its next-door neighbor... *pbbbbbbbt*
To be nobody-but-yourself -- in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else -- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. ~ e. e. cummings

I wish I could say the same but the kiddos have heard all kinds of language from us.
They have also watched the movie "School of Rock" (they like the music) and there is some colorful language there too.
We tell them they are grown up words and that is usually enough to keep them from cursing usually.

Hamas must stop hating
I was pleasantly surprised reading the Province's editorial on the Gaza conflict. I never thought there was much moral clarity regarding the Israel-Hamas war, especially considering the visceral resurgence of anti-Israel, anti-Semitic responses that are so prevalent all over the world and which have resulted in real fears among Jews.
I deplore the number of dead on both sides and feel especially bad for the Palestinians whose so-called leaders encourage their martyrdom. Palestinians deserve better and both sides deserve peace and prosperity.
What is happening now reminds me of a famous quote by the late Golda Meir: "We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children. We will only have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us."
Jerome Henen, North Vancouver
Egypt also anti-Hamas
There is another country that has blockaded Hamas — Egypt.
Hamas lost an ally when Egypt's Mohammed Morsi was deposed. Hamas had been smuggling arms from Sudan ports across the Sinai Peninsula. The current Egyptian government has blockaded its borders, destroyed tunnels and outlawed Hamas, whom they consider, as Israel does, akin to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Cherryl Katnich, Maple Ridge
It's murder
The Israeli decision to rain death and destruction on Gaza, using modern military weapons on a largely unarmed civilian population with claims it is in self-defence is painstakingly preposterous.
Israel uses modern jet fighters and advanced naval weaponry to target and destroy densely populated refugee camps, hospitals, schools, apartment blocks, mosques, with a population that has no air force or navy and calls it a war? This is not a war. It is murder.
Reggie Smith, Port Coquitlam
Standing with the premier
Good for Premier Christy Clark to stand with Israel, which is surrounded by enemies and countries that only want to destroy it.
Israelis value peace and freedom. They do not send out suicide bombers to maim and kill. They do not celebrate death by dancing in the streets.
What would you do if it was in your back yard? I am a friend of and stand for Israel.
Harjeet Sangara, Vancouver
Doesn't speak for me
Just as Hamas does not represent all the people of Gaza, Premier Christy Clark does not speak for all British Columbians.
I support the people of Gaza. That does not make me pro-Hamas or anti-Israel. It makes me a compassionate British Columbian.
Cheryl Leask, Chilliwack
I'd use Raid, too
Letter-writer Jorgan Hansen takes Premier Christy Clark to task because she supports Israel. There is a solution — Hamas should stop lobbing rockets into Israel and the carnage will stop.
I compare this conflict to me sitting in my back yard. If the odd mosquito lands on my arm I just brush it off. But if they start swarming I take out the Raid.
Ed Braun, Vancouver
Beef of the day
Why do callers to call-in radio shows say, "thanks for taking my call?"
Don't they realize that stations are desperate for callers and will take just about anyone's call?
It bugs the heck out of me, like "my" call is so important. Gees!
D.M. Martin, Vancouver
Sentence him to George
Brandon Watterworth, with a history of assault convictions, is to be sentenced yet again in September for assault and robbery of a bus driver.
Given Watterworth's love of fighting, especially against vulnerable targets, I have a suggestion for the sentencing judge: UFC combatants always can use new sparring partners.
Why not let Watterworth indulge his appetite for physical combat by spending time with the likes of Georges St. Pierre in a locked octagon without the intrusion of a referee? The event could be a charity fundraiser as I'm confident many would happily pay to watch.
Tom King, Vancouver
Taxpayers should buy homes for poor
Re: Editorial on Oppenheimer Park protest.
While you're correct in stating that people do not have an "unfettered right" to Oppenheimer Park, we all have a right to assembly, protest and safe shelter.
Furthermore, to suggest that Vancouver's homeless population is limited to those who are, in your words, "so violent, badly affected by addiction or mental illness or who make the choice to live rough" is not only grossly inaccurate, it's also incredibly stigmatizing of this population.
Often times, camping is the safest option, and all Canadians have a right to safe shelter.
Street homelessness is at an all-time high in Vancouver, and all levels of government are responsible for this. Instead of suggesting we police homelessness, we should be taking steps to end it.

Muska Concept
Russian car designer Krasnov Igor has already managed to impress a number of people with his renderings of what a four-door Ferrari may look like, but now the designer has unveiled his latest project, one that is definitely sportier than the last car he tackled.
Looks like a cross between a stealth fighter jet and a modern supercar, Its called the 'Muska'. Starting at the back, the ominous rear exhausts look like thrusters that you may find on the back of a jet plane, and while they may not be the most practical of ideas they certainly give the car some visual flair.

One company that will benefit from a tax break brokered to keep jobs in the state announced layoffs today.
Sears told Crain's Chicago Business that the company plans to lay off 100 people today from various departments at the company's headquarters in Hoffman Estates. This comes just months after the General Assembly approved a tax break geared toward keeping the company in the state.
The tax credit given to Sears is worth $150 million over 10 years. The company is required to maintain jobs and make a $300,000 million capital investment. Under the legislation, the company must have at least 4,250 employees at the corporate headquarters when the tax benefits go into effect next fiscal year and must keep employment numbers at that level. However, Sears currently employs about 6,100 people at the headquarters, which leaves the door open to more potential layoffs.
"Regarding the legislation passed last fall, this has no impact whatsoever on that measure. We are well above the minimum headcount requirements for … the new legislation — 4,250 — which takes effect in 2013. We have about 6,100 people currently working in our HQ. It's important to know that under the legislation, if we don't meet our obligations, we receive no benefits. We're focused on improving our business and continuing to be a strong, contributing member of the Illinois business community," Kimberly Freely, a spokeswoman for Sears Holdings Corp., said in a prepared statement. Freely confirmed today's layoffs but did not comment on whether the company plans additional job cuts in the future.
"Obviously we're not happy with this news. We're not happy when any corporation cuts jobs," said Brooke Anderson, a spokeswoman for Gov. Pat Quinn. But, Anderson said, without the tax cut, Sears might have left the state taking all of its more than 6,000 jobs with it.
"The only thing surprising about [the layoff] announcement is that anyone is surprised," said Rep. Jack Franks, a Marengo Democrat. Franks warned that the legislation allowed for layoffs when it was up for debate late last year.
Today, he pointed to the companies recent troubles, including disappointing holiday sales that the company said would lead to the closure of up to 120 stores. Sears announced 79 store closures at the end of last year, but none of the stores were located in Illinois.
"We're going to give [Sears] money to fire tax-paying Illinoisans," Franks said. "If you're going to help job creators, you ought to actually help job creators. Sears is not a job creator. Sears is the great terminator."
While Franks said he opposed the Sears provision, he did vote in favor of Senate Bill 400, which contained the break for Sears as well as one for the CME Group, which owns the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade. During floor debate, Franks requested that the Sears provisions be put into a separate bill, but he said he voted in favor of the measure because he supported a cut to the estate tax that was also included in the package. "I thought that the other things in the bill were by and large pretty good," he said. The bill included several tax breaks for businesses, including an extension of a research and development tax credit and a credit for smaller businesses that had net operating losses.
Franks is sponsoring HB 3934, which would create a panel comprising business experts within the Department of Revenue that would approve future tax incentives like the one given to Sears. Franks said the group would look at the overall business performance of those seeking tax help to make sure that they are good investments for the state. He also said he plans to support a bill that would require businesses receiving tax breaks to maintain employee levels based on the headcount when lawmakers approve the tax breaks.
Rikeesha Phelon, spokeswoman for Senate President John Cullerton, echoed Anderson's claim that the tax deal may have prevented a much larger job loss that would have occurred if Sears had left the state. However, Phelon said: "Sears hasn't violated the agreement, but their recent decision doesn't encourage good faith. If they do not fulfill their obligations in the future, the tax benefit will become void."

This is linked to my post "What does it mean to be a librarian?"
As librarians we love a good reference tool and what better than the dictionary. A guide to the meaning of words!
I was really interested in people's responses to my questions about libraries and librarians and the interest students in my class have in the library as a service. However, there is this perception among us that people may not fully grasp the reality of the 21st century library. (Yes, Terry Deary, you are one of these people!) So I thought to myself why is there this gap between what we as librarians think of as the functions of our roles and the libraries we work in, and what the public and media perception of libraries and librarians might be. This post is focused on libraries and I'm hoping to get some feedback and write some more about librarians in the future.
So, I decided to look up the word "library" in the dictionary to get the definition.
First, my old friend, The Oxford English. Have a look for yourself and you will see that it is almost exclusively focused on books.
Then Dictionary.com does go as far as to say it refers to the public body organising and maintaining such an establishment.
In fact the Urban Dictionary gave the best definitions as far as I'm concerned.
"An awesome place that is underrated in this society" by Adel7
"A building that enables people to have access to computers, books, magazines, videos, dvds, etc. Where Librarians and Library Support Workers help people find the information they need." By ldchills
These are just two of the good ones; there are a few pretty dodgy interpretations in there as well but it's just a little bit upsetting to me that the Urban Dictionary may be more relevant than the OED on this one.
When will the perceptions change? When will the word "library" encompass all that a library truly is in the 21st century?

Spencer Krug Is In My Dreams
Two nights ago, I dreamt that I was at this party at someone's house with some people I didn't know. Spencer Krug was there, and he was going to play a bunch of songs for us. There weren't very many people at the party, and it was a small room, so I got to meet him, and he was very nice. He was also doing a lot of cocaine, which surprised me greatly because somehow I didn't expect Spencer Krug to be a big cocaine fan. Then he announced that he would play the song Samson for us. I didn't remember that it was a Regina Spector song until I woke up. Anyway, I decided to record his performance of Samson because I didn't think any of my friends would believe me when I told them that I was at a party with Spencer Krug where he gave a private show. I was using one of those huge camcorders we had at home when I was growing up. The old kind that rest on your shoulder while you look through the lens. Spencer Krug was kind of making fun of me (in a nice way) for the gigantic camcorder, and I explained to him that I couldn't use the smaller ones because I don't have steady hands. So he was about to sit down at the piano, and he was sort of hitting on me a little, which I found very flattering, but I was prepared to tell him that I had a boyfriend should he try to ask me out. Then he sat down and began to play and sing and it was so lovely.

This time, the hearing was a little longer and a bit more rowdy for a bill designed to counteract the U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing governments to condemn properties for economic development projects.
But in the end, the result was the same.
HB94, sponsored by Del. Terrie L. Suit, R-Virginia Beach, advanced to the floor of the [Virginia] House on Friday after it cleared the Courts of Justice Committee 15-4.
It also advanced on a voice vote on Monday, but was brought back for further discussion after delegates complained to Suit that committee chairman David B. Albo, R-Fairfax County, pressured them not to debate or offer amendments.
Albo did much the same Friday when the discussion got intense. With two delegates offering amendments and asking questions, Albo said: "As soon as you make one amendment, the whole deal unravels and you don't have an eminent domain bill for this year."
Minutes later, the committee rejected attempts to amend the bill.
The bill is a reaction to the Supreme Court's decision that government can force homeowners to sell for economic development if it is allowed under state law.
Virginia's courts have ruled that's not allowed in the commonwealth. Suit's bill is designed to make sure that is reflected in the Virginia code.
Suit's bill defines the public purposes for which land can be condemned. One of the most controversial parts of the bill states that eminent domain is not allowed "if the primary purpose is the enhancement of tax revenue."
"I feel like this is a hole you could drive a truck through," Del. Ben L. Cline, R-Amherst, told Suit. "It is very easy to say the primary purpose is one thing when it's really another.
"The people in my district have told me that there should never be a seizure of private property for the enhancement of tax revenue."
Suit noted that the wording for that part of the bill was suggested by Attorney General Bob McDonnell.
Del. Terry G. Kilgore, R-Scott County, who chaired a subcommittee that held a four-hour hearing on the bill, said it wasn't perfect.
"It was basically decided this was the best wording we could use," Kilgore said. "Any wording we use is going to have some litigation. This is the best way we felt we could get there."
Cline voted for the bill, but Suit said she expects attempts to amend it on the floor .
"There are just a number of people out there who believe the power of eminent domain is something that should never be used," she said.

The fundamental business model for banks and credit unions hasn't changed for decades. If you're a banker, that in and of itself should worry you.
If we think of a financial institution or payment provider as a potential platform for obtaining, aggregating and managing potentially millions of customer relationships, how might that work?
In an era where everything from taxicabs to department stores to landline phone service has been transformed by technology-fueled challengers, how much longer can a traditional approach to banking based on interest rate spreads and fee income survive?
Financial services industry analysts like Ron Shevlin have argued that the demise of banking has been greatly exaggerated — a relief to many. But do financial institutions have to wait for their last branch to close before they start to remodel themselves to take on the challenges of the years and decades ahead?
As Ron noted in a recent article, "Today's banks only match consumers to their own products or services."
Compare this to the strategy pursued by one of the largest ground transportation companies that doesn't happen to own a single vehicle, Uber. Or, Airbnb, a globally dominant player in providing overnight lodging that hasn't had to make an investment in either real estate or hotel staff. Not to mention, Amazon, which provides a platform for over 2 million sellers, who ship more than 2 billion items per year and generate 40 percent of Amazon's total units sold.
One path forward may depend on a strategy of crafting partnerships with fintech companies. Lisa Gold Schier, senior vice president of strategic alliances at the American Bankers Association and a leader in the industry helping financial institutions extend their products and capabilities through partnering, is excited about the prospect in the industry.
But, like many in the industry, she also notes that while many fintech companies have good ideas, they don't yet understand the complexity of integrating into a community bank's core banking system. Although many in the industry consider this an easy integration, it's never as simple as it seems.
While leading financial organizations recognize that changes are coming to banking and payments, it can be daunting to select fintech partners to work with. John Schulte, senior vice president and CIO at Mercantile Bank of Michigan, notes that in order to identify the right vendors and partners for your business needs, you have to monitor and engage with the fintech community, keep track of new and emerging players, and always follow the chatter. As in most industries, networking, research and due diligence will play a key role in driving successful partnerships in the years to come.

Review of To Kill the Valko Kid by Michael D. George
Michael D. George is a prolific writer of westerns under his own name and a handful of pseudonyms. Most of his work under his own name are parts of series, and this is the fifth Valko book. The Sunset Kid has also appeared in a book of his own, so this one really will have follows of the authors work wondering who will come out victorious and whether either, or both, will die...

Off the top of my head. Lavshuca ditched their dreamy, ornate and young-at-heart identity for a more generically cute and girly one (completed with much younger actress/ spokemodels that I do not care for. Seriously though, Honda Tsubasa can't act). We all know how that went as the brand had just been discontinued. Anna Sui kept changing their packaging on their whole line, getting uglier and more cheap-looking season by season (Remember back in my earliest blogging day how I was obsessed with the brand) so I am not sure what they are heading for, hopefully not a kick in the rear by Albion. SUQQU's revamp in 2010 was a highly successful one and the six eyeshadow quads released at the time are still the most talked-about (at least in the Chinese speaking world) items. Maquillage toned down on their edge and added a touch of youthfulness and femininity that helped them attract more young professionals.
Shiseido Integrate is one of the brands that went through a successful transition. Back in the days, the brand used to featured simple coated plastic packaging (that looks like metal but feels flimsy) and have a spokesperson none other than Angelina Jolie. I thought it was an all-around strange combo because among their target (people shop at that price range, Asian women from their late teen to mid-twenties), how many of them actually look forward to look like Angelina (an accomplished actress and a motherly figure)?
I supposed somebody in Integrate marketing team finally realized the problem (or maybe the celebrity endorsement was too expensive)so the brand gradually rejuvenated itself. Currently, the brand has two spokemodels, round-faced cutie Kishimoto Cecil, who has been with Integrate for a while, and a newly employed Komatsu Nana. Exterior packaging hasn't changed much but the pan layouts have been getting playful and fancy.
I first became interested in Integrate Pure Big Eyes VI221 when I saw PJ at A Touch of Blusher added this into her favorites on the right side bar, next to Lunasol Lavender Coral. I enjoy Lavender Coral's in-your-face(and allover-your-face) sparkle, but I can take a little break from all the required clean up.
The current retail for Integrate palettes is around 15 bucks, since this shade can't be found in the usual Adambeauty, I had to deal with further markup on ebay. 20 wasn't too bad consider I ended up really like its performance.
The compact is painted plastic: highly scratch-prone, light weight and compact in size (in my little acrylic drawers, I can fit 14 of these drugstore palettes in each compartment!). Unlike other drugstore palettes, this one is also has coating inside, which functions as a perfectly serviceable mirror.
The Pure Big Eyes is another gradational palette with straight forward layout. From top going counterclockwise:
1. Pale pink (it got washed out in the pictures) pearly base/highlighter. It's actually a clear white base with very fine and clear pink sparkle (which gets more apparent as it's sheered out).
2. A warmer (almost peachy in the pan) lighter-medium pink that perfectly works as a lid shade on its own. The shimmers is finer (than the allover-base pink) and the finish is more of a satin-pearl. I particularly enjoy the warmth in tone because how my own skintone would make things more pinkish/mauve. This just balances out to look neutral pink.
3. Medium lilac - this lid shade number two is tighty packed, shows up thinly (you don't get a thick powdery layer with each swipe) and is rather pigmented and true-to-color (unlike many lilac it doesn't turn ashy on the lid as it's blended, nor it gets too pastel.)
4. Matte plum with hidden sparkle. It's a defining eyeliner shade that is concentrated and easy to diffuse (As you know, I can't handle liner that are too intense)
5. White sparkle top wash - Clear that flashes multi-color and gives a wet sheen.
For the liner, Integrate is deeper, more condensed (so I don't over blend and make things muddy)contain less floating sparkle. While I wasn't hunting for dupes when I buy palettes, this certainly hit the same sweet spot for me. You can probably guess what my preferred child is.
Overall: A palette with carefully coordinated color and great quality. Need to look more into the brand(already did, got two more palettes).

Nice. The Yam Shel Shlomo certainly didn't think the Ibn Ezra was in sync with Chazal!ReplyDeleteReplies
The Yam Shel Shlomo was not enamored of the Rambam either...to the extent that he couldn't understand how the Bais Yosef could incorporate the Rambam in the foundations of his psak.Delete
Related to the title of this post is the question of whether shenayim miqra ve'echad Rashi is just as good as Targum (OC 285). The Arukh haShulchan has a strong preference for Targum, which he believes is Unqelus's recreation of a translation given miSinai. (Following Nedarim 37b.) However, he does say one can be yotzei with Rashi as well (se'ifim 12-13).ReplyDeleteReplies
I don't think that issue is related. The reason Rashi may be good is because those shitos hold that any peirush that explains pshat in the text is OK, l'afukei a translation into another language, since translation is not pshat. Whether it was written b'ruach hakodesh or even given at Sinai is (according to these shitos) irrelevant.Delete

My comment was a suggestion that Artscroll and Hirsch are good lechatchila. I deleted my comment because I checked the MB and found that he brings the Taz that only allows peirush translations (translation and elucidation, as they say,) if you're not holding by understanding Rashi. So to do Artscroll might be kasher, but you would need a qualified poseik to elevate it from beideved to lechatchila.ReplyDeleteReplies
Because Artscroll is the best a modern human translation can be.Delete
It incorporates chazal and poskim. But unlike O.klos it is accessible.
>>>It incorporates chazal and poskimDelete
So what? Pashtanim sometimes argue on Chazal and Midrashim and at least according to some shitos, you can be yotzei with them. Rashi often learns contrary to Chazal and poskim.
I think you are not yotzei with "la'az,: whether it is Artscroll or the Vulgate, because inevitably something is lost in the act of translation. Onkelus is different because it is a peirush, not a translation. If you read Artscroll's notes on the bottom, i.e. the peirush, then maybe you are yotzei.

Filibuster: an action such as a prolonged speech that obstructs progress in a legislative assembly while not technically violating the required procedures. To act in an obstructive manner in a legislature, especially by speaking at inordinate length.
On Wednesday a couple colleagues {Akeem Rashad Allah/DJ Wise and Salim Adofo} and I had the privilege to be on a conference call directly from the White House with other key African American and Civil Rights Leaders around the country about the Supreme Court nomination process that was moderated by Stephanie Young and Valerie Jarrett. Stephanie Young is the Director of African American Outreach for The White House and Valerie Jarrett is the Senior Adviser to President Barack Obama and Assistant for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs in his Administration. If you're unfamiliar with these women I encourage you to Google them.
On Wednesday a couple colleagues {Akeem Rashad Allah/DJ Wise and Salim Adofo} and I had the privilege to be on a conference call directly from the White House with other key African American and Civil Rights Leaders around the country about the Supreme Court nomination process that was moderated by Stephanie Young and Valerie Jarrett. Stephanie Young is the Director of African American Outreach for The White House and Valerie Jarrett is the Senior Adviser to President Barack Obama and Assistant for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs in his Administration. If you're unfamiliar with these women I encourage you to Google them.
Read President Obama's "A Responsibility I Take Seriously"
Following the death of Supreme Court Justice and ultra-conservative Antonin Scalia, this left a vacancy in the highest court of our country. According to our Constitution, in order to fill that vacancy the current President, in our case President Barack Obama, chooses a nominee who is then confirmed by the Senate and then appointed to that position. This is a process that requires several steps, which on average has taken 67 days since 1975, roughly two months, and every U.S. Supreme Court nominee in history has received a vote within four months. President Obama has over 300 days left to serve his second term as our commander and chief so there shouldn't be a problem nominating another Supreme Court Justice, unless of course the Senate doesn't cooperate. After our President makes his nomination it's then sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee who conducts hearings to question his nomination to determine if they'll make a suitable Supreme Court Justice. When these hearings conclude, the Judiciary Committee votes on whether the President's nomination should go to the full Senate with a good, bad or neutral report. Republicans in the Judiciary Committee, led by their chairman Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, have already made it publicly known that they are not going to vote for whoever our President nominates. The last time a Supreme Court nominee was denied a hearing was in 1875. To give you some context, this was 141 years ago during the Reconstruction Era when the Civil Rights Act of 1875 was passed to guarantee African Americans access to equal housing, transportation and jury duty inclusion. By delaying this nomination process and dragging their feet, these Republicans and their special-interest group supporters, could very well get their way and there are no formal repercussions by doing this. The only repercussions they face are from their constituents. So instead of upholding the Constitution and doing the job they were elected to do, they have chosen to be filibusters. The bottom line is "they" want "their people" in that position and will do whatever they can to block, obstruct and go against the Constitution and what President Obama was elected to do in serving his final term as our commander and chief. These tactics aren't new and reflect the continuous uphill battle our President and First Lady have dealt with the entire two terms they've been in office. A battle with elected officials being uncooperative, unhelpful, unsupportive and outright disrespectful.
Members of the Republican controlled Senate and Judiciary Committee have tried to argue that the 2016 President-Elect, not our current President, should nominate a Supreme Court Justice because it's an election year. Mind you, the Senate has confirmed 6 Justices in presidential election years since 1900 including the Republican President Ronald Reagan who appointed Justice Kennedy. If the Senate fails to act, the Supreme Court could have a vacancy for the better part of two Terms. This means that without a 9th Justice, the Supreme Court's 4-4 decisions can't legally establish uniform, nationwide rules. Many have been outraged at the sense of defiance, recklessness and disrespect on the part of the Senate Judiciary Committee and according to the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights & The Leadership Conference Education Fund, "a broad coalition of 82 civil rights, voting rights, public interest, environmental, labor, religious, and education groups sent a letter to Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) and the 10 other Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, condemning their recent announcement that they will refuse to hold a hearing on—or even meet with—any potential Supreme Court nominee." You can read and share this letter here.
Because there are no formal repercussions the Senate Judiciary Committee will face, except from their constituents, what can we do? First I would encourage you to share this article via your social networks including the hash tags #SCOTUS and #DoYourJob.
- Post/Share media interviews, memes, articles and statements via your social networks that talk about the importance of the President's constitutional duty to ensure we have a full supreme court.
- Post/Share media interviews, memes, articles and statements via your social networks that talk about the role of the court, the role of the President and/or the role of Congress when a seat on the Court needs filling.
- Share media interviews, memes, articles and statements in the comment section of media interviews, memes, articles and statements via your social networks.
- Here are a series of graphics you can Post/Share via your social networks.
- Be sure to include the hash tags #SCOTUS and #DoYourJob in all of your postings and commentary.
- Find out the position of your regional and local public officials on this Supreme Court nomination where you live. Require them to state this position publicly and hold them to it as a matter of their policy record -regardless if they're running for reelection this year or in the future.
Keep in mind that this filibuster scenario that's playing out on the national stage is also happening on a regional and local level throughout America. The reason you may not see certain things getting done in your municipality, your neighborhood or in your workplace is because of the same kind of people striving to block, obstruct and go against progress. Letting our voice be heard about the Supreme Court nomination informs the Senate Judiciary Committee that we will individually/collectively use our position, finances and vote to ensure that people like them, who are not doing their job, will not be in these positions to obstruct justice. We are also informing their constituents that we will not support them, especially in business. How can you trust a business person to do the right thing for their patrons [citizens] when they're deliberately supporting public servants who are not willing to do the right thing for their tax paying citizenry? All of us as citizens are expected to do our job and the citizens we've elected as public servants need to do their jobs too. It's just that simple.

About a year and a half ago, I "made" my friend Rachel's wedding dress. Her best friend got married recently, so after helping her search for the right bridesmaid dress unsuccessfully, I offered to make it for her. She wanted a simple black dress that was made out of a knit fabric, and that she could wear again after the wedding. She told me the bride wanted something like this dress:
We set off for Mood, where she purchased black bamboo stretch fabric. I used some old fabric to make the muslin which we fit in the middle of her birthday celebration at Dave & Busters, and then went ahead and cut the actual garment. I was glad I had her buy 4 yards of fabric because the skirt was quite wide.
The dress is very simple, with a higher front neckline, and a bit of a scoop in the back neck. There are two layers of the circle skirt, which is why it took so much fabric.
On the mannequin:
Rachel and Ryan at the wedding in Kentucky!
Rachel's been wearing the dress to castings and says she has been getting lots of compliments! Which I guess goes to show that sometimes people don't want edgy fashion, they just want clothes that make them look good.

On the same day that CBS announced they had renewed 18 of their shows, including the critical darling "The Good Wife," series star Julianna Margulies appeared on "Anderson" (Weeknights, 4 p.m. ET on Fox). She discussed how she helped orchestrate Matthew Perry jumping on board the legal drama for an eight episode run.
All it took was Perry telling her he was interested. The two bumped into one another at a Halloween party, and Perry told her "The Good Wife" was his favorite show, and that he'd love the chance to be on it. It's probably something actors hear a lot from fellow actors, but they don't always mean it.
But Margulies immediately pounced on the idea. "If you say that, I will do something about it, so are you sure?" she asked him. And when he said he was, the very next day she was on the phone with the show's producers helping to make it happen, slotting Perry into a role they were already developing.
She said it took him about three days to get back into the rhythm of the long shooting hours that come with a weekly series, but he settled back in nicely. Fans can look forward to Perry's first appearance on the episode airing Sunday, March 25.
Julianna Margulies stars in "The Good Wife," airing at 9 p.m. Sundays on CBS. "Anderson" is syndicated nationally. Check local listings for channel and time.

Olympus ZD 60mm f/2.8 Macro vs Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 AI-s
I got the chance to borrow an Olympus M. Zuiko Digital 60mm f/2.8 from a friend just before Christmas and so in this post I will show example images made from it and the Micro-NIKKOR 55mm f/2.8 (used with a Fotodiox Nik-m4/3 adapter of course). Don't expect to see a technical comparison. I'm going to simply let the images speak for themselves.

Jackson Pollock's use of the drip technique established him as one of the most influential painters of the 20th century. His experiments in style led to a freedom in the abstract expressionist movement that has been unparalleled since. This program explores the turbulent life and work of this controversial figure. After studying formally with artist Thomas Hart Benton, Pollock began to break free of the academic form. His interests in rhythm and unusual sequence can be traced to painters El Greco and Diego Rivera. In the late '40s, Pollock introduced the drips, smears, and circular motions that were to cement his reputation. His later career, though distinguished, was also filled with emotional turmoil and sorrow. Pollock died in a car accident at the age of 44, but his legacy as one of the first celebrity modernists lives on.
Add this movie to your queue to receive more information about
Jackson Pollock and we will let you know when it becomes available.

|still really swollen but getting better!!
|side view again swollen and bruised
So today its have been officially a week since D-day and I feel a lot better! I went grocery shopping(not for long) and even walked Boo home from school! I also have laid off the meds. a lot I still need the muscle relaxers to relieve the muscle tightness. While today I felt amazingly better, Sunday I over did it I went to Wal-Mart and was out all day! By that night I was helpless and I defiantly found out what the pain-ball was for, my incision site and drains(that are sewn in) are incredibly uncomfortable! lesson learned. I'm going to focus on what I can do not on what I cant. Mil is here taking over for Mom and she is cooking 2 weeks worth of meals and throwing them in the freezer for the family! Big shout out to Mil and Mom they have been such a huge help I'm so grateful and big shout out to hubby for putting up with my cranky butt! I'm so blessed to have such an amazing family and support system! Tonight's Halloween and I'm going to take Boo and Boogie trick or treating but I'm going to work hard to not over do it we don't want another Sunday! I have another appointment Friday my drains are draining less and less so hopefully Doc will go ahead and take them out. That would be awesome!

- Larry, if you keep computer forensics distinct from IR, doesn't that in some ways throw the baby out with the bathwater? There is really not all that much that forensic practitioners could learn from IR practitioners, compared to other "pure" forensic sources?
There is a significant difference between incident response and computer (digital forensics). However, it only becomes apparent when you analyze the different uses for the two disciplines and how they are applied.
Incident response encompasses a wide range of specialties as does digital forensics. Do they have overlap, yes. But the more specialized one becomes in one field, the more they diverge.
Incident response is actually a discipline within traditional information support services. If you look at the different jobs in information security, you begin to see how the specialization occurs and is needed:
Information Support
Network Administration
Server administration
Domain, DHCP, DNS, Mail, File, Application, Database, Collaboration and Terminal servers.
Network infrastructure
Switches, Routers, Endpoint Security, Cabling, WAN, Internet, VPN, Wireless etc.
Disaster recovery
Backup and Recovery
Telephone, VOIP
Network Security
Malware detection and prevention
Perimeter protection (firewalls, etc.)
Data leakage protection
Intrusion detection and prevention
Everything up to this point are the parts you need to administer a network and to prevent a need for incident response. When all of that is defeated and you have a breach, you call for the incident response person or team.
An incident response professional should have a strong foundation in all of the above since their job is to find where the breach occurred, plug the hole, get the affected server or servers back into service, and then if possible, gather evidence on the intruder for further action. Where the incident response professional differs is that they need to truly understand the low level working of a network, how breaches occur, how to locate the method of the breach, and how to mitigate the breach, i.e. kill it and close the hole.
This requires a deep understanding of hacking techniques, log analysis, malware, root kits, social engineering, hooking, terminate and stay resident (TSR) programs, port scanning, service profiling, packet forensics, routers and firewalls, daemons, hidden services, etc.
The objective of most intrusions or malware attacks on a network are to:
- Steal data (intellectual property, operating or financial information)
- Steal systems (Subvert control by gaining root or administrator access)
- Steal storage and bandwidth (rogue FTP servers, spammers)
- Steal identity information (credit card numbers, client information...)
- Disrupt operations (DoS attacks, sabotage, destroy data, logic bombs, prevent access to the system by users)
- Just be a nuisance by vandalizing systems.
Digital forensics as a discipline is more concerned in finding and documenting the actions of a person or persons in relation to other people or places or activities.
A digital forensic professional must have a strong understanding of where and how data is stored, how data is created, how to recover that data in a forensically sound manner and how to analyze the recovered data.
Acquiring Data: Where data is stored and how to get it.
There are basically two types of data that a digital forensics examiner must collect: Data from a physical device and data from other sources.
Physical Devices (Short list)
- Computer Hard Drives
- Solid State Devices (USB Sticks, Memory Cards, Digital Cameras, DV Cameras, etc.)
- Cell Phones
- Back up devices (Tapes, etc.)
- GPS Devices
- ISP records
- Cell phone records
- Network activity records
- Off-site storage
- Email databases
- Email providers
- Social networking sites.
How data is created
- User created data (documents, spreadsheets, pictures, text messages, chats, web pages, social network pages, financial information...)
- Program created data (software logs, registry entries, activity databases (i.e. Kazaa, Limewire, Internet browsers, VOIP programs, application software...)
- User received data (email, internet downloads including pictures, programs, etc.)
- Activity records (call logs, IP accesses, social networking activity, hosted email account creations, cell carrier records, GPS...)
User created data is by far the easiest to recover and analyze since it is normally the least obscured. Documents, pictures, spreadsheets, etc.
Program created data becomes more difficult to recover and analyze because most programs store information in several places, use non-human naming for data storage, and use many different formats for the data that is stored.
However those very characteristics make it very difficult for a person to completely eliminate all the artifacts that a program will leave on a system's hard drive.
What triggers a need for a digital forensic examination is typically the result of something someone has been accused of doing to someone else. It is very much a people to people examination. While incident response is mostly concerned with stopping and clearing an action, digital forensics is primarily concerned with finding out if a person committed an action. In the world of digital forensics, user attribution is the end goal. Did the person do this and can I prove that it was this person who did it? While incident response can be successful without ever identifying a person, without user attribution, digital evidence has little to no value.
To simplify it, the digital evidence trail looks like this:
This artifact (email, chat, picture) was created by this person and is connected to that person. Remember, we are looking for evidence that connects people to other people or actions.
To successfully do this kind of work, a digital forensic examiner must understand not only the technical side of the process, they must also be able to work within the legal system to ensure that the data they recover was legally obtained and can stand up to the scrutiny of a court of law, whether it is civil or criminal.
The more people and devices and evidence, the more complex the process becomes.
Hopefully this post illustrates why, as you get deeper into each of these disciplines the knowledge needed diverges significantly.

Here we GO!!!
The day has finally come! Since about the end of May we have been busy busy planning for this day. We've planned for this day and the days that will follow over and over and over. I've written pages and pages of plans in my notebook (and still have more to write!). We've calculated miles, planned meals, found campgrounds, booked campgrounds, cancelled campgrounds, planned outfits and details---all of the little details that probably don't matter. We have stressed about it all.
Since we found out in May that we would be moving to Alaska this fall we have been SO.EXTREMELY.BUSY. I honestly don't even want to talk about it because it makes my brain hurt to think about all we have done since that day. We have packed up boxes galore, and then unpacked them when we realized we still needed what was in them. We've talked and questioned how we were going to make this move--what month will we go, how will we get there? Will we fly or drive? Take a ferry or the famous Alaskan Highway? Would Jason go early and then the girls and I go later? How will the weather be? How will we get our pets there? What about the Disney trip we have planned for later in the year, do we cancel it? (HECK NO WE DON'T!). Do we sell our house or rent it? What if it doesn't sale OR rent?
After lots and LOTS of discussing and deliberating we finally decided what would be best for us. We didn't want to be apart, I didn't want to fly, Jason wanted to drive cross country, we couldn't possibly find a decent hotel every night that would accept all of us PLUS our cats and bird--at least not without paying an arm and a leg. So of course the easiest thing to do (by the way, there is NO easy way to do this) was to buy a camper and pull it across the country. Do you know how many times I've regretted agreeing to that crazy idea that was all Jason's fault?
And so it began. We were all super excited to start camper shopping and quickly found the one we wanted--a 32 ft. travel trailer complete with bunk beds that the girls can't wait to put to good use! Along with a camper, we needed something to pull it--because unfortunately, Jason's Altima and my minivan weren't going to get the job done. So we said goodbye to the Altima and after lots of stressing over a vehicle, finally found something big enough to hold all of us AND big enough to pull an 8,000 lb. camper. It's not as kid-friendly as my sweet minivan, but it'll do, I reckon. So we had the getting there taken care of, next up, the house.
We decided it would be best to sell the house so we wouldn't have to worry about renting it out or taking care of it from 5,000 miles away. Anyone who has ever bought or sold a house knows how stressful it is. Especially when you don't have long to do it. First of all, getting a house clean and then keeping it that way with 3 young children living in it is next to impossible. Luckily, my family's beach house was less than a mile away, so we moved over there for a while and that helped a LOT. We had a few showings, and have signed a contract with two different buyers. The first buyers decided after about three weeks that they were not ready to buy a house and backed out, so back on the market it went. About a week after we put it back up, in came another offer, and we are currently under contract again--but not holding our breaths. We are hoping and praying that this one will seal the deal and we will close in mid-September.
In between selling the house and buying a camper and a truck, we've spent our spare time in doctors offices. You see, in order to go somewhere like Alaska, you have to be approved--all of you. So in we all went for physicals and dental checkups. Then we had to have the doctors fill out lots of paperwork and turn it in, and then get it fixed because the doctor signed the wrong line....this took FOREVER. Not sure why it was so hard to get us all in to the doctor and have paperwork filled out but I think it took about two months before everyone was approved! Then we were able to schedule the movers once we were all finally approved to go!
So anyways, that's just a little snippet of what we have been busy doing since May. It has been busy and frustrating. It's been time consuming and boring. My poor kids have been told so many times to be quiet or to go play or to leave us alone. My poor husband has had to reassure me more times than I can count that every thing was going to be alright. I have been a grouch, and impatient and have wondered so.many.times. HOW I was ever going to make it to the next day without completely losing it. And now, I have made it to the day that I've been planning for.
(After reading back through this post before publishing I realized that I had left out a few minor details--so without going into too much detail, there have also been trips to the E.R., minor traffic incidents, flooded laundry rooms, major appliance repairs, etc. I'll let you use your imagination there 😉).
So today, we start the first part of our big trip. Today we are going to start our two day drive down to Disney World, where we will spend a week. After Disney, we will drive back up to North Carolina and get our camper packed up, and then head on to Alaska! We are so excited for this once in a lifetime journey, but are also very nervous. We are trying to stay positive knowing that it will be a very long trip, with long days. Our kids will be tired, we will be tired and our pets will all probably be stressed out. Please say prayers for us and encourage us in the days ahead! We are looking forward to making lots of memories with our little family!

Our next chapter
Well, it's been a while! I think the last time I blogged we were just starting our North Carolina chapter. Keely was a baby, Paislee was a toddler and life was just so darn busy! I wish I could say that now I have gotten the hang of this mom stuff and that I'm going to start blogging daily, but that would be a big fat lie! I will say that I'm going to promise to try to blog more often!
Our four years in North Carolina have flown by, and now it is time for our next chapter. We found out in May that the next place we will call home is Anchorage, Alaska! Although we are sad to leave our family and friends, we are very excited to get back up to Alaska. We are also hoping to have lots and lots of visitors over the next four years. If you are reading this, consider it an invitation to come and visit us in God's Country. He truly played favorites when he created Alaska, and we would love to show you around this beautiful place where we first called home after we were married and also where we welcomed our first baby.
We will be living on the joint Army/Air Force base in Anchorage--a first for us, as we have never lived in military housing or on a military base. I for one am VERY excited to be part of a military community. There are so many resources on base for everyone in the family and I can't wait to utilize them all. From what I've seen so far, there are playgrounds galore, fitness centers, bowling, movie theatres, ice skating, snow skiing, libraries, schools and more on base. Jason's work will also be on base, so I'm hoping we won't have to leave very often if we don't want to.
Our adventure begins on September 4, as we head down to Florida for a Disney World vacation. After a week in Florida we will begin our journey up to Anchorage, which we are anticipating will take us about three weeks. I will try and blog more about that later, but now I have two little girls snuggled up in bed with me asking why I'm texting so much :)

That's what she said..
I'm thinking an easy way to get blogposts in is to do posts with just quick things that Paislee or Keely say during the day that crack me up. So if you see a post with the title 'That's what she said', just know that it won't be a long, drawn out post, just quick (but definitely cute!).
Yesterday, Paislee was eating something messy, I can't remember what it was. She dropped some on her nightgown, and of course she freaked. Anyone who knows Paislee knows that she is a little OCD. Jason goes over to her, pinches the nightgown material and licks whatever she dropped off. Paislee goes about her business and a few minutes later says : "Thanks for suckin' it, Daddy".

To blog or not to blog?
I have been reading so many blogs lately and it's making me want to start blogging again! I must be crazy. I get about 10 free minutes in my day, do I really want to spend those few minutes blogging? We will see :) I will take it one day at a time, and since there is a blogger app, that will make it a little easier.
This weekend we took a trip down to Myrtle Beach for a 'mini vacation'. It was much needed and we enjoyed ourselves so much! We stayed at my aunts condo, which is oceanfront=perfecto! I decided before we left that we would stay in the entire weekend, and just enjoy each other, and relax. Do beach days and spend good time with each other. We headed down Friday morning and arrived around lunch. We swam in the pool for a little while and then headed out to the beach just for a quick walk before going in for supper.
This is the only picture I snapped with my phone from that day, the rest are on the camera and that is too much work for now. Baby steps people, baby steps. :) Keely was not a fan of the sand or the cold water, she is also not a fan of her sister when she gets touchy feely--which is often, ha! We had enchilada casserole for dinner-yum! And too many cookies for dessert.
Paislee enjoyed the views for a while after dinner and then headed to bed.
The next day we took off to the beach pretty early. The girls enjoyed it and so did we. The condo is at the end of the beach so there is so much great beach that is perfect for kids. When the tide is low, there are 'water holes' which is great because I'm terrified to let them play in the ocean.
We went in for lunch and then my wonderful hubby stayed in with Keely while she napped and let me go back out with Paislee to get my tan on. We came in and I made spaghetti for dinner, and we enjoyed another night in.
On Sunday we enjoyed another beach day, and came in a little early to get ready and go to the outlets for just a little bit of shopping. Mama was starting to get a little cabin fever and needed to find a new outfit to go with my new red wedges....turns out I didn't find anything which is a good thing because I got home today, the UPS man greeted me in the drive way with them and unfortunately...they looked like hooker shoes :( which made me sad...so I'm going to order them in tan and hope that makes it all better because they are sooooo comfy and I heart them! Below is the picture I sent Jason who was waiting in the car with the girls. I was trying on the shirt but had to put on a pair of white pants to see how the entire outfit would look (with MY white pants that were at home). He responded "you look like a granny"....I didn't buy the shirt.
Monday was rainy and gloomy so we went to barefoot landing and walked around the little shops and had lunch at Joes Crab Shack-which was yummy :)
We came home, had leftovers for dinner and started cleaning so we could head home in the morning. Jason and I were in a cleaning frenzy when we heard the sweetest giggles ever. We ran around to the other side of the bar to these two sweet girls playing--not fighting but PLAYING. It melted my heart <3.
We had an eventful trip home today, maybe I will blog more about that tomorrow :)
Sorry for the boring post, getting back into the swing of things!

The Name Game
Ya'll, naming this second baby has been a pain in my @$$!!!!! We cannot agree on anything, and the few we can agree on, I'm not in LOVE with. Jason wants to keep the "Lee" sound in the name. I need some opinions:
1. Keely Reese
2. Analise
3. Analee
Jason doesn't like the spelling in 2 & 3 because of 'Anal'. Really? Do ya'll think people will REALLY make fun of her for that???? I don't want to spell it Annalise because I feel like people will be more inclined to shorten it to Anna, and I don't want it shortened to Anna. If WE decided to call her something shorter at home, like we call Paislee "Paise"--(Pays)--we would call her "Lise" (Lease).
Our other option is Keely--(Key-lee). I like Keely. Don't necessarily want to spell it that way, but it seems like every other spelling looks weird, or can be mispronounced. I've even seen people think it's Kelly. Weird, but whatever.
We had Brynlee on the list-but I'm not crazy about Bryn, and it's getting too popular. We also had Britlee, a name Jason chose a loooong time ago--before Paislee was born, and I HATED it, but over the last couple of years it has grown on me. Everyone seems to think it's super weird though, maybe it will take a couple of years for it to grow on them too? :)
If we have to go with another "lee" name, I don't want it to be too 'out there' and like we are just trying too hard to find another lee name. I think it could get tacky and with Analise and Keely it's not too out there and they also go well with Paislee.
Jason, Ashley, Paislee and Keely
Jason, Ashley, Paislee and Analise
What do ya'll think?? And if you think Analise--any middle name suggestions??
Thank you bloggy friends!!

Lindsay's Visit to Maine
Lindsay got here last Saturday around noon and leaves Sunday. We only have one more day to adventure out and explore Maine. And of course, tomorrow it is supposed to be 75 degrees out and B-E-A-utiful! All week it has been cold--in the 50's, and the first 3 days she was here it rained :( Here is a summary of her trip so far in pictures :)
After we picked Lindsay up from the airport, we took her downtown for a 'Welcome to Maine' meal at 'Portland Lobster Co.'. None of us had Lobster though ;)
Sunday it rained a llllll day. We sat around for a while, then me and Lindsay went out shopping for a little while. Monday it cleared up for a little while so Lindsay, Paislee and I drove up to Freeport to the outlets. While there we shopped, ate lunch at Johnny Rocket's and had to get Whoopie Pies, the official dessert of Maine, at the famous 'Wicked Whoopies'. Lindsay meant to get the chocolate chip Whoopie, but got the vanilla bean instead, and I got the peanut butter. Yum!
Then we went to L.L. Bean--just because you have to go to L.L. Bean when you come to Maine. Lindsay made some friends while we were there....she fits right in!
Tuesday we had yet another lazy day because it rained alllllll dayyyyy. Wednesday we got a super early start but not because we wanted to :) Jason was presented an award at work so we got up to watch him get that, then his boat left--with him on it :( So we headed to Ft. Williams to see the Portland Headlight.
Love this picture that Lindsay snapped!
After the lighthouse we headed to The Lobster Shack so Lindsay could get her some Lobster. She ended up with Lobster stew...
...and then climbed down the rocky Maine coastline for some pictures.
Yesterday we were going to drive up the Maine coast to a small coastal community. Then we changed our minds and decided to drive to the mountains to do some leaf peeping. Then we changed our minds again, and decided to have yet another lazy day...do you see a pattern here? We LOVE lazy days :) This is Lindsay and her favorite member of the Mozingo family...
and the yummy dinner we cooked--Ranch House Porkchops, with garlic parmesan mashed potatoes and green bean casserole--YUM-O!
Today we had lunch at the Portland Pie Co...
It was DELISH!
Then we ventured over to downtown Portland and walked around and checked out shops and food. Mostly food. We stopped here...
and had some of these. Lindsay had the vanilla with blueberry icing and I had the red velvet with cream cheese...
Less than 10 minutes later we stopped here for ice cream :)
Then we finished our walk with a stop in front of the harbor to see all of the yachts and sailboats. We headed home, had a very light supper--since we ate ALL day, ha! Now we are going to bed so we can get up early and head to the beach for our last day--this will be a Maine first for me too :):)

Applause for Melissa Harris Perry talks real poverty
On today's show she talked to a poor mom and that welfare receipients are living on two dollars a day. I have donated to my local food bank and plan to give money every month. Can you do the same. Also give locally is good.

Auto Clave technology consists in linking components of the rubber sole in a furnace under water vapor and high pressure e. Thereby eliminating the use of glues and solvents for a better finish (no sticky residue). Going back to the sneaker itself, this is a beautiful leather on a beautiful model … we especially appreciate the contrast between the black leather and white fabric.

You're Fired!!
Surprisingly this event has not caused me to binge eat. Most people would be stressed to the max with this situation, but I'm so ho-hum about it. My theory is: If I have money, great, if I don't - oh well! I'm the type of person who hates the "Where do you see yourself in 5 years" question in interviews. I really would like to say someday. "Look in 5 days I might be working for you, and maybe still in 5 months, but in 5 years I could be on a yacht in the Mediterranean, drinking umbrella drinks under the sun." My point - I don't have a 5 - year plan. I generally don't have a 5 day plan. I might have a 5 minute plan. Like, in 5 minutes I might put laundry in. But that's really as far as it goes. Some might think my lack of planning won't help in my weight loss efforts and we'll see, but I know that I'm happier when I'm succeeded slowly than when I'm trying to make my "plan". My goals: To feel normal, to experience as much as this world can offer me and hopefully become healthy enough to do it!
So a 5 year plan really doesn't work for me. I've never had the same job for 5 years. I do administrative work, but in many different industries: investment banks, malls, accounting firms, violin shop, furniture store, college. Same stuff but different environments. I get too bored to stay one place for a long time. At a certain point I've gotten to a place where the learning curve stopped..then I've had to move on. I guess my answer to that 5 year question would be "I plan on staying here until I've learned everything I can from your company, and then move on."
So I guess in terms of weight loss: "I plan on working on my body until I've done everything I can to make it healthy, and then I will find a new journey"

Jodie you have a good outlook on your house issue. I hope you get a realtor that cares.ReplyDelete
For me I live 41 1/2 years without and plan and I believe that was my downfall in the weight department and budgeting department. I was free as a bird just flying nowhere at all. I was never a planner because that felt like a commitment and I dreaded that word for years. My friends would make jokes about me just flowing with the wind.
Know I love planning my life out because I don't want to miss out of life. I plan for everything now and my life has structure and substances. Since I started planning my monthly workouts I have lost a ton of weight and I am much happier.
I am flexible with my monthly schedule but 98% of the time I follow it. So for me having a plan has been a blessing and a life changing experience. I can never go back to being that bird with not plan.
I have a monthly plan for my budget, entertainment, exercise, social life, pampering life, education, and downtime.
You have to do what works for you in the end. I have to agree with you that the five year plan is a little overrated. I plan my life out every month because after living with cancer that is all you can look forward too.
Good luck my friend!
I don't think I've said how much I love your new picture on your blog. You look wonderful! Interesting stuff about the 5 year plan. I'm like you - who the hell knows where (or if!) I'll even be in 5 years, so why make a plan? Life is lived in the present day and moment. Of course we have goals and dreams, but my main investment is to do the best I can for myself today and participate fully in my life today. That includes eating well, exercising, self care, enjoying family, doing something for someone else, spending time with friends - whatever.ReplyDelete
Looking forward to seeing how the Friday weigh in goes!

I firmly believe everyone has a right to defend their views, so rather than simply state Professor Plimer is mistaken, I emailed him this morning to query his statements;
Dear Professor Plimer,
I understand the debate on climate change is a "heated one", and that you have taken a very public position on the issue.
I agree with sentiments expressed that there should be a robust debate on the issue, and that there is room for dissent in science.
I'd also note that when your book "Telling lies for God" was first published I read and enjoyed it very much. Indeed, it helped me confirm my world view as "sceptical" and alerted me to the dangers of those who would misrepresent science.
I hope you don't mind me contacting you on above issue, but recently I heard (and read) several public statements made by you comparing the percentage of CO2 emissions of volcanic activity vis-vis human exhalations.
I note the following statements made by you:
An article titled "Climate changing: how global warming lost its science and support". [IPA Review, Vol62/1 pg 30-31]:
"Humans only contribute to three per cent of the annual exhalation of carbon dioxide (CO2) and it has been shown that this small human addition of CO2 to the atmosphere drives climate change…"
In an interview on Bega 2550 it was reported:
"Professor Plimer says volcanoes emit far more carbon gas into the earth's atmosphere than human's 3 per cent annual carbon release…."
I query this, because your statements seem to be at odds with the scientific literature that I have read.
As a consequence, I would politely and humbly ask that you clarify your position on this and cite the appropriate references. As a member of the general public I have an interest in the debate. Though I am not a scientist I firmly believe in the value of good research, as I am sure you do.
I will also note that I maintain a blog that takes a critical view of some of the claims of climate change sceptics. However, I do not wish to simply throw accusations at people or organisations, and that everyone has the right of reply.
The site in question is https://watchingthedeniers.wordpress.com/
It is my usual practice to publish exchanges, as both sides on the debate have called for honesty and transparency.
If I made any claims which are not factual, I am happy to retract them. However, on the above issue I am concerned that the scientific literature does not support the figure of "only three percent" of C02 emissions
Yours sincerely,
I'm not sure Plimer will reply, but if he does I'll be curious.

A degree will require at the least two years for completion, while a career training course can be completed in a matter of few months. Now, many people get angry about a very important factor or another whenever they go to a pharmacy, whether it's the wait time, insurance problems, or possibly a medication is sold-out and has to get ordered. Last night she was rummaging through bottles of pills and tablets so when I asked her what she was searching for she casually said she's ran from amlodipine.
This includes receiving prescription requests, counting and weighting prescriptions to make sure that they are accurate, preparing prescription labels, filing and organizing prescription orders, taking good care of customer transactions and insurance related issues, and a lot more. Authorities, drugs online, wholesalers, clinics and mail order facilities, retain the services from the remaining pharmacy technicians. " Another great article to take a look at is "Why Should I Become a Pharmacist.
' Ram Eesh Institute of Vocational and Technical Education,. The distinctive groups get their roots from ancestors who, during time within the annals of Philippine history, prevailed upon and influenced the predominantly Filipino-Malay race. Nonetheless, this is really a cheaper option than many other online pharmacy technician schools and might be ideal for those on a strong budget.
There are two ways to become a pharmacist technician, getting certified or registered because of your state. College pre-pharmacy study as little being a day or two and will still pass the exam. However, by exercising with adequate practice pharmacy technician test questions we now have better odds of being successful.
Although vitamin B2 can be found in spinach which is easy to grow inside home garden, we might diversify a little here and select different tastes. Progression and cancer risk factors can therefore be safely assumed for similar conditions existing in NSCLC. Their recommendations about medicines and dosages needs to be adopted on, they need to get acquainted with medicines and which is consequences.

I was feeling a little tired after the morning and running some errands in the afternoon, so I didn't rush over to Greens, but by the time I got there, about 6:30 or so, the place was already full, and if you have ever been to Greens, you would know that it takes a couple of hundred people to fill the place. I knew a lot of the people there; the old timers were out in force, with some faces that were unfamiliar to me, but there was also a large contingent from Young Urban Zen as well, some of whom were volunteering at the evening, counterbalancing those who have got us this far with those who are going to take Zen Center through the next fifty years.
It was a very social time, filled with chatting, eating, drinking and dancing, with not just a DJ but a live drum troupe as well, who got a lot of people moving.
The other thing about a zen party is that it won't go on until the small hours; I ducked out at around 9:30 when my energy was starting to flag, and I heard that there was a steady exodus after that.

I spent most of Sunday out and about, and when I got back did not feel like doing more than the regular tidy-up, which meant that yesterday morning, instead of sitting zazen, I went up to my office right after the jundo to finish collating all the information and start gathering the things I needed.
There was a lot to do before nine o'clock, when we were supposed to start getting in the shuttle cars to Sokoji - I managed to get the altars set up, but the sound gear was proving elusive - some of it had been at Greens, and some of it had been at Green Gulch - so that part of it was making me stressed; I wasn't going to be running the sound, but I wanted at least to know that everything was in place and ready to go.
Arriving at Sokoji there was still plenty of time; everyone gathered early, and there were not so many things to take care of. I enjoyed a quiet moment downstairs putting on my bessu; otherwise it felt like I was on my feet for about eight hours straight.
None of the ceremonies were complicated or unusual, but the whole set-up was unique. I found myself on the raised area around the altar at Sokoji with Sojun Mel the doshi; four abbots and the four Zen Center officers as the ryoban; the jisha, doan and fukudo. Luckily I could hide behind a pillar while the statements were going on, but as kokyo, I had to step forward for the ekos; Steve had written them in a way that made them very easy to articulate, and my voice felt okay - I got a compliment from Baker Roshi as we made our way out at the end of that ceremony.
I was supposed to be helping marshal the procession into place, but it was always going to be a fairly fluid affair. We filled the sidewalk for a whole block, and once we got going, people were mingling with who they wanted to for much of the time. We intrigued and bemused some of our Western Addition neighbours as we made our way down the hill with a police car and motorbike holding the cross street traffic for us. It was a lovely sunny day, and I think people were enjoying being part of such an unusual spectacle.
The idea was to process straight into the Buddha Hall for the next part of the ceremony, but some of the senior members needed a break after the procession, so we had a few minutes' pause - we were always going to be running behind schedule anyway, and there didn't seem to be any need to hurry.
Again, I was right in the thick of things in my usual ino place in the Buddha Hall. The statements here were perhaps the key moment of the whole day, with Baker Roshi apologising for the pain and suffering he had caused, and Reb responding directly to him - seeing them bow together at that moment was most moving.
The final part was the dedication of the new peace bell, which I hadn't seen until the morning when it was placed on its plinth in the courtyard. I had decided that we wouldn't try to use microphones for this part, but I think parts of the crowd were straining to hear those statements.
We ended up with some final short speeches in the dining room, with a huge spread of Greens food waiting patiently for us to finish. I had arranged to meet a friend in the afternoon, so I took a little break, but then had to clean up all the ceremonial things afterwards, before afternoon zazen and Young Urban Zen in the evening. I was pretty wiped out after all of that, and while zazen was optional for residents this morning, I felt I should get up to make sure the zendo was open, so I am still feeling pretty wiped out. But this has been, I think, my final big hurrah as ino, and I am very glad to have been so involved in it.
I quite often feel that my descriptions of these big events are rather banal, but hopefully the photos will bring it to life a little more. If not, you could always try sitting through the three hours of video footage to see what actually happened.
