Laughing At Ourselves
It's been a long day in my "personal" studio. Recording stuff doesn't take a lot of time. Getting it "right" takes forever! At last count I believe my grand daughter and I came up a total of about 20 hours on the newest song. It has left me partially brain dead, and I'm praying that rest and relaxation will bring me back to the way I was(whatever that might have been)before the necessity of creating what I call "Christian Rock Opera" and my wife tells me that is not a choice for categories. Most important, though(at least for me), was having the project complete. Back to a little light reading and I found the following: "Most of us have been born in what might be called 'Christian environment,' such as Christian homes, Christian churches and Christian schools. Unfortunately, however, not all of us are 'Christians.' It is truly shocking to recognize that the Christian environment has produced some atheists and anti-christ-activists. The misguided mind negatively reacts to the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Christian environment(even though it is good)does not and cannot make you Christian. We humbly admit and confess to the world that we have failed. The enormous problem seems to the church's failure to proclaim the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ." This was published by a servant of our Lord who has spent as many years in ministry as I have in living. His name is Mr. (Chaplain) Tsukamoto. We come from two very different worlds and yet I heard his spirit as I read his words. My first thought was how firmly on the head he had struck this particular nail. For some this would mean taking a defensive stance in support of the effort being made in America to reach the "unsaved." I can't do that for the simple reason that I don't see it happening. Even the folks who profess to have become "new creatures in Christ," (II Corinthians 5:17)are not following the Savior's most fervent desire for God's children. Is it little wonder that church membership is on a downward spiral that has most leaders in ecumenical circles tearing their corporate hair out? My thought is this....no matter how we see ourselves in the light of Christ's influence in our lives, if we are not working for the Great Commission to reach completion then we are working against it! I don't want to offend anyone, but I can't say this without it hitting "home" where many feel they are doing everything in their power. None of us is putting out 100% for Jesus, for sure! The tasks of the kingdom that we have left "undone" far outweigh the number of tasks we have completed. Until we come to a fullness of understanding of what has been happening the past 50 years in the US we are not going to move forward. Statistics can prove anything. Numbers can be manipulated(ENRON)to show whatever is "pleasing" to the eye. The gut level reality is that America the Beautiful is becoming to a greater and greater degree something less! You can choose your label, but you cannot change the circumstances unless you are ready to stand in faith. An old preacher used to say, "If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything." In Christ's Love, Preacher.

From the comment section:
Just a thought about the Tea Party in DC
If the get together in DC is not the result of Corporate "Astroturfing", then it must have been put together by "Community Organizers"? Boy, did I get schooled by you guys about how worthless they are…
Comment by Beatnik_Soiree | September 10, 2009
And my response,
Or, it could just be a group of citizens, horrified at where their government is taking them, frustrated that thier congressmen are not listening, that the group in Washington is moving us along the destructive path at breakneck speed with no sign of stopping, that the corruption in Washington is so gargantuan in nature that so blatant at to be unspeakable and shameful.
Perhaps it is everyday Americans, grandparents, students, business men, laborers, children, veterans and folks from all walks of life who, like I did, got on the internet and actively sought out a place to go to vent and protest shout out about the actions of a government intent on "fundamentally transforming the United States of America".
Having attended 4 different tea parties I will first hand report that the I did not see any signs of any sort of "organizing" of any kind except for the few grand souls who felt so strongly, they acted on the idea planted by that original Boston Tea Party and helped put together the logistics that allowed it all to happen.
Was there organizing? Well, someone had to get the permit, donate or rent the stage, the sound system etc. There aint no free lunch. Evey one of the 4 I attended were self funded, by the people who cared enough to organize the events. Did folks e-mail out to the folks and groups they knew encouraging them to come, you bet, but I guarantee it was not the GOP (they wish they could garner this much enthusiasm and support!) or any big name PAC. In fact, a few of those people are now organizing and developing big name PACs of their own.
There is a growing uneasiness as Americans recognize the creeping dangers of the soft tyranny that is inevitable when government starts working toward "the greater good". Most the Tea Party folks understand the benefits of freedom and self-reliance. They see that America is the most generous nation on earth, first to send aid to any tragedy, pouring billions into countries all over the world, never advancing or conquering. Of course not without faults or missteps. But a certainly a force for good in the world.
The Tea Parties were protests, but they were the most respectful protest you have ever seen. Flags and red, white and blue everywhere. They started with the Pledge of Allegiance, the crowd sang patriotic songs together. Like a 4th of July picnic, the atmosphere was first, love and pride of country and second, fear and anger at where we are headed.
It is beginning to dawn on many that at the end of road we are on leads to a quasi European, inert middle class, guaranteed work times, vacations, healthcare, university cramped into small quarters, small cars and small dreams lifestyle where all are indeed equal. No one succeeds, no one fails, no one is exceptional, initiative and hard work earn the same as minimum effort.
There are no Donald Trumps or Barack Obama's. If you are not born to money then your place is set and doomed to lives of quiet desperation with no chance to soar or splat.
I am here in Washington now, will continue to blog about our experiences. Tomorrow I will be volunteering to work behind the scenes at some activist workshops. I will let you know how slick and "well funded" the operation is.
I do know this. In all of 4 tea parties, I never saw one pre-made or mass produced sign……….

By early afternoon, Pirate vomited six times already.
That in itself is a big red flag.
Projectile vomiting, vomiting repeatedly, vomiting blood (fresh or digested), unproductive wretching, any of these things are an emergency. So is vomiting combined with other symptoms such as lethargy, weakness, shaking and signs of distress and pain. ~Symptoms to Watch for in Your Dog
Pirate was clearly not feeling well, and his mom reached out online to see what she should be doing. With this constellation of signs and symptoms, there is only one correct answer, and that is to see a vet asap.
Meanwhile, Pirate was getting worse.
As they arrived at a pet hospital, Pirate threw up all over their lobby and was extremely weak. He needed help quickly. They needed to run blood work and x-ray his abdomen to see what was happening.
An obstruction was high on the suspect list.
Pirate wasn't eating or pooping for a couple of days. His vomit almost looked like feces. He threw up any water he tried to drink and was getting seriously dehydrated.
X-rays didn't show any obstructing object. However, there was an area which seemed full of feces or gravel ... Pirate needed surgery.
Once the veterinarian got in, they discovered a wire and a piece of plastic stuck in Pirate's intestine. The whole thing was hooked on the back of his tongue.
The surgery went well, but a chunk of Pirate's intestine had to be removed, and things could still go either way.
However unbelievable this sounds, such things happen way more often than you'd think.
Nobody had a clue how Pirate got his mouth on whatever this came from, and his life was still hanging in a balance.
Pirate is a fighter, though, and by the next day, he was starting to look better.
By the time he was released from the hospital, Pirate was acting as if nothing ever happened.
"Death's door? What do you mean by death's door? I just had a little upset tummy."
Because his mom did not wait with getting the care he needed, Pirate made it.
His odds were dropping quickly, and if she did wait, he might have died. The strange pieces that ended up in Pirate's intestine turned out being parts from a kids toy which accidentally made it into Pirate's yard. No matter how careful you might be, things can still happen which are beyond your control.
What you do have control over, though, is making the right and timely decisions for your dog.
If your dog vomits repeatedly, that in itself calls for medical attention. Paired with any other concerning signs, it needs to be an emergency trip.
Note: the name I used is fictional but the brief account of events is real. I'd like to add that Pirate's mom did not have the money for any of the medical expenses but put in an extremely huge effort and with help of some great organizations and online community she was able to afford the care Pirate needed to save his life. Stories like this are the reason behind my dog health advocacy efforts, my book and my plan on using half of the profits from the book's sales to help people like Pirate's mom and dogs like Pirate.

I completely recommend anything from Liz Earle Orange Flower Body Wash £13.00 she and her brand really are amazing. I especially love their face stuff. Not to mention how gorgeous everything smells as well. I'm normally given Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Body Wash £20.00 as a Christmas gift, I know lots of peeps who only tend to buy or receive this brand at Christmas. They are open all year round just for your information. It seems to be something of a tradition for many. Their body and their hand creams are both equally as gorgeous as one another. If you are going to buy a hand cream definitely go check them out. Who doesn't own anything from Molton Brown Templetree Body Wash £18.00 they are great to buy for yourself as a treat or as an everyday essential. I wouldn't choose to spend over £10.00 on a body wash so to me I classify this as indulgent but I know lots of people would quite happily spend this much without batting an eyelid. Each to their own and to their purses and wallets.
Are soaps still cool to use?? I know some people find them a bit unhygienic and a little old fashioned but I love a good bar of soap. This Aerin Mediterranean Soap £22.00 is a real dream. It's so pretty to look at, smells divine and would brighten up the dreariest of bathrooms. I know Diptyque are more known for their candles but they also sell beautiful soaps as well. I would certainly buy this for a guest bathroom if I had one that is but I'd staple it to the wall so they don't steal it! Look at the crafting on this Diptyque Eau des Sens Soap £17.00. Now what can I say about Jo Malone that hasn't been said already? I use to work for Jo Malone, when I first moved to London about ten years ago now....I didn't appreciate at the time how lucky I was. After every shift I worked I came home with something! Yes, I know. I also gave all my candles to my sister. What was I thinking? This soap Jo Malone London Blackberry Soap £14.00 is something you need to keep for yourself.
I know this stuff divides people. I found this out when I worked with Space Nk. Complete marmite effect with this one. Some people find the smell really overpowering but I loved the smell. I could just open, have a sniff and then close the lid (on repeat) all day. Laura Mercier Creme Brulee Body Body Cream £45.00. This one I tried at a friends house. I love any beauty stuff that comes with pumps. Grown Alchemist Body Cream in Mandarin and Rosemary leaf £45.00. I didn't know at the time, the price so I slapped on quite a bit on. (Sorry! to my lovely friend if you are reading this, it was me!) My first impression was how wonderfully hydrating it was. It gave my normally dry as sawdust legs a lovely sheen. I have heard good reviews about this cream L'Occitane Shea Butter Body Cream £32.00 . A very rich hydrating cream for dry skin on the body. A little goes a long long way, So, I keep reading/hearing. I love any kind of butters in creams as I find them to be ultra nourishing and a real *treat to use.

Catching You Up
A big moment last fall was Elise's baptism. We were so honored to have all family join us as Elise officially became a child of God in our Presbyterian Church. This day was also very special because Grant became a member of our church! Elise's baptismal gown has been in my family for 40 years. My grandmother made it out of her own wedding gown. Many Davis cousins have worn this gown, including me and my two brothers. What a special treat to add to a very memorable day.
|Special thanks for the tedious work by Take the Cake. This is a replica of one of the stained glass windows in our church. Way cool!
|The beautiful newlyweds
Elise is doing absolutely amazing! She has had two "setbacks" with the stomach flu this winter, but nothing tooooo major. The first occurrence was a few months ago. I was feeding Elise her morning bottle while watching the Today Show (she looked fine and seemed like she was feeling well...we were about to head off to our workout class like normal).
All of a sudden, I felt Elise go limp in my arms. Her color quickly became ashy while her eyes rolled into the back of her head. I told myself I could NOT panic, because what good would that do?? I called out her name several times and tried tapping her cheeks. Nothing was working. I also tried splashing some water in her face. No go. I started to grab my phone to dial 911, and Elise came to slightly acting like something was stuck in her throat. She vomited a little and seemed to perk up again. I called my husband, Grant, instead of having a fire truck, police cars, and an ambulance show up at the house!
Grant immediately knew what had happened...she was choking on her vomit and aspirating. She would aspirate (take fluid into her lungs...lower her heart rate....and breath shallowly) in the NICU many times. However, that "handy-dandy" monitor would tell you exactly what was happening. This was an instance (9 months after the NICU) when I really could have used one of those monitors ....and one of our NICU nurses or doctors right around the corner!
God always works in mysterious ways...just when you desperately need Him. I started to realize Elise needed to vomit more, but couldn't. Around this same time, our cleaning ladies came through the front door. Ahhh, another mom to help me! Grant was quickly driving home from work to come get us. Our cleaning lady helped me clean myself and Elise while keeping a very watchful eye on our little girl.
We decided to take Elise into the hospital to get checked out by her pediatrician and make sure this scary episode was just a one time event. Poor Elise vomited the whole 5 minute drive to the hospital and continued to become dehydrated in amidst being admitted to the pediatric floor. She got a round of IV fluids while we stayed overnight to have her monitored. She was her usual bouncy self the next morning.
Round one of the stomach bug was history.
Round two was just last week. We decided to take our first beach vacation as a family of three. We eagerly packed up the car one early Saturday morning and took two days to make the 16 hour drive to St. Petersburg, Florida. Florida was experiencing a cold front when we got there (high of 62), but the locals promised us brighter days ahead. We had our own little house on the bay with a private swimming pool and hot tub. We were set, right???
|Our ONE good day in Florida...we made the best of it. Elise seemed to enjoy the hot tub!
Where is Elise developmentally?
We celebrated her very first birthday on February 8, 2013. (I know, it doesn't seem real!) She weighs 16 pounds and 1 ounce. She is 27.25 inches tall.
{Scroll down for birthday party pictures}
As I write this, Elise is 13 months old chronologically. Her adjusted age is approximately 10 months old. She has a list of sounds that she likes to express (i.e. da, ga, bree, wray, wee, ah, ma). I think my all-time favorite sound/word of Elise's is 'nana.' I'm going to believe that she has heard us speak so much of her Nana Lisa, and that is why she has developed this very cute nasally sound :) She also squeals and laughs, especially when she is in her exersaucer. As for medicines, Elise continues to take Prilosec for reflux issues twice daily. Add a daily vitamin to the mix and that is IT...blessed beyond belief.
Last month, the eye doctor graduated Elise from routine follows up to yearly visits. This was GREAT news! We were so relieved to know that her eyes were doing very well considering the odds they were up against as a 25 week preemie. Elise's eye doctor told us most preemies by one year of age are wearing patches to strengthen their eyes or are already wearing prescription glasses. Praise God for those gorgeous brown eyes being so healthy.
Lately, our biggest challenge area with Elise has been food. About two months ago, she started showing a lack of interest in her formula bottles (we've always thickened these bottles with rice ever since she showed signs of aspirating in the NICU). We thought her lack of interest was a sign she was ready for baby food. Hooray, right?
For 2 straight months, Elise would ONLY take sweet potatoes (and a "good" table session would be 4-5 small bites once a day). I tried every other kind of jar food with her (even the meats!) and she always gave a "tequila face" for everything (a tequila face? The face that is made after taking the first shot of tequila in college...come on, you remember!)
Just recently however, Elise has expressed interest in what WE are eating. She now has added guacamole, mashed potatoes, yogurt, and pudding to her list of preferred foods. Within the last month she has also had her two bottom teeth pop out! Now with some 'munchers,' she is showing more signs of gumming foods such as Gerber puffs. Elise's pediatrician really wants her to gain weight so she has told us to give Elise anything that is high in fat. I kid you not, I recently fed her nacho cheese sauce from Steak n' Shake and she LOVED it. Who says a few stares from other Steak n' Shake customers bothered me? ha!
What is ahead for us?
This past summer, we were honored to be asked by the Indianapolis headquarters of March of Dimes to be an Ambassador Family for the southern Indiana region. Part of this fun responsibility is to speak at different engagements and possibly even make local television appearances! The 5K March of Dimes walk (for Seymour) is being held at Seymour High School on April 20th at 10:00am. We will have our team out in full force and we would love for YOU to join us! Many, many thanks to a dear friend, Alison Vinciguerra, for establishing us with a website to answer all your questions.
Travel to {www.eliseselites.com} to see our team page Elise's Elites: giving our best for her best! On our web page, you will see simple instructions that will guide you on how to donate to March of Dimes on behalf of our team, order a team shirt from us, and/or sign up to walk with us on 4.20.13!
Without the love and support of March of Dimes, we cringe to think of Elise's possible outcome. Thank God we don't have to, but now it is our turn to raise money for future preemie babies so they may have a chance in this world!
Seventy-six cents of every dollar goes directly to saving the lives of premature babies
I leave you with some updated pictures of our miracle baby. Enjoy!
|Those eyes!!
|The necklace my dear colleagues at Jackson School gave me after Elise was born. That is her first footprint!

|February 14, 2013...what a difference a year makes!
For Elise's first birthday, we decided to do something a little different. Since her NICU doctors and nurses mean the world to her, and us, we held her party at Bravos Italian restaurant on the north side of Indianapolis...a restaurant G and I frequented several times for dinners while we were visiting Elise in the NICU. We invited all her primary nurses and doctors to share in yummy appetizers, cake, and...snuggles! We were honored to have so many family members make the drive for this special party. It was also so wonderful to see her NICU buddies again...or as we like to call them, "Elise's miracle family." Elise is so loved, and it is times like during the "Happy Birthday" song that I look out over the crowd that adore her; family, nurses, and doctors, and I am overcome with Mama emotions. The beginning of this journey was dark and scary, but now I feel as though we have weathered the storm, and we are basking in the blessings of those who prayed so hard and fiercely for Elise and our family.

Asylum - Lame teen horror movie. Apart from the nice opening credits, there's nothing positive to be said.
Just Friends - One of the funnier comedies of the last few years imo. It's all a bit stupid & over the top, but I like it. Anna Faris is brilliant in these kind of roles.

The Mosquito Coast - Harrison Ford gets to act a bit. Peter Weir, beautiful establishing shots, a story about the dark side of heroism. A little dated - Ford's political dialogue would probably seem more reasonable to a Cold War era audience - but still worth a look.
Klute - Jane Fonda gets to act a bit. Donald Sutherland is customarily awesome. Odd 1970s noir, also worth a look.
Anvil - the story of Anvil - real life is stranger than fiction. Documentary about the titular metal band who were up there with the likes of Metallica in the early days before falling away to obscurity. 13 albums later, they're 50 year olds with menial jobs and a hideously sincere belief that they might yet make it. You can laugh at it if you like, treat it as a real life Spinal Tap, but I feel wrong laughing at these earnest buffoons.
I wanna watch: Sin City, Pulp Fiction, and The Usual Suspects in the near future.

Kog'maw Update
Decided to play him pure AP with an early Revolver. Spell vamp off of E is insane. Wins a lot of fights and keeps you laning very nicely. You hide so hard mid and late game from far away and can kill baron/dragon fast. I bought his legendary skin and I am still playing him. Good times.

Kog'maw Analysis
I really like this champion. I started playing him again since the changes to check him out. Here are some builds and my thoughts.
AP with Lichbane - Your ult, Slow, and debuff hit pretty good, though there are other champions that can do this better. Your slow can dominate a team fight though, which is very nice, but the damage increase isn't omg awesome. Sniping during pokes though is amazing. You can really wear down a team and push towers with blue buff.
Hybrid (Ginsoo, Gunblade, Trinity Force) Good hitting spell and Ults, and good auto attack. Nice if you are heavy AP/Magic damage. I liked this build a good deal.
Magic Shredder (Wit's End, Malady, Bloodrazer, Frozen Mallet, Void Staff) - omg wtf rape. Early game, concentrating on your W, your harras is very good. Once you get Maladu/Wit's end combo, you can start shredding whoever you want at a safe distance, or surprise them with your slow, and rape them as they try and run. Late game they would be able to get away from you and their health/MR means absolute crap. Your Ult spell is pretty weak though, so you really rely on W. Fortunately the cooldown is pretty low.
All in All, going to play him more often now and start to master him. Really think he is an underrated champion. Item changes + Recent buffs really made him a force to be reckoned with.

Monday Morning Snow
We are high tech here. My husband made this yesterday when he was in the shop just for our amusement. It is working, sort of....
He also got my peg board together and I absolutely love it! It feels like I am in a store. It even looks good in the room. I like being able to find the ruler I need at a glance.
Remember all my pinks scraps?
Now they look like this. I am still so amazed how small the stacks are after they were overflowing in the basket.
We had our first family dinner this weekend. My daughter suggested that once a month we all have dinner together taking turns going to each other's homes. We also celebrated my husband's birthday. The kids, both mine and the grandchildren went sledding until dinner was ready. They had a great time and I think it will be a good memory for them. It is the women that glue the family together isn't it? Great idea Cait!
I have to find something fun to do with this fabric!
Happy snowy day!

I don't know how much you have but a piece or two in an I spy quilt would be a lot of fun...ReplyDelete
It's still so snowy there, lucky your scraps are keeping you busy. How how easy for you to find your rulers with that wonderful peg board. Your family is so good at having get togethers! A very Happy Birthday to Bob! You'll find the perfect way to use that little deer that will delight us all.ReplyDelete

Oh yes... loved the stag with glasses, really made me laugh :o)ReplyDelete
What a great idea to have family dinners and happy birthday to your husband.ReplyDelete
I love the 4-eyed buck fabric - so awesome - is it decorator weight? what a great snow stick and your pink scraps and strips are so cheerful and fun! wow, fun busy post.
Love the family dinner idea, we watch Blue Bloods on Friday night and they do that every week. I love how your rulers look on the pegboard. Julia Child had her pots and pans on pegboard too!ReplyDelete
That snow doesn't look like it is going away in a hurry!ReplyDelete
Great idea with the rulers.
And an even better idea with the family dinners especially when a birthday can be included.
I see winter is still in your neighborhood too! Looks like your are making the best of it! I'm looking forward to seeing with you do with that deer in glasses. I"ve recently become a glasses wearer after many years in contact lenses.ReplyDelete
It looks like you may be ready to make some Valentines! Happy bday Bob.ReplyDelete
Your peg board looks great! Lovely family celebrations. And that snow looks soooooo cool - I'll be coming back to that picture all week as our temps go higher and hotter!ReplyDelete
no snow here.... yet! It was lovely today- sunny and above freezing! I love your new family tradition! Also love the fabric with the bespectacled deer! Where did you find that?ReplyDelete
I remember when we went to Grandmas every Sunday to visit. It is really nice to make time to get together as a family. Great idea. I know the grands will remember fun times at these dinners.ReplyDelete
Those scraps do shrink up once tamed. LOL Love the pegboard. I might need a wall of it.
I need to borrow that handy husband of yours! A ruler peg board looks and sounds like a fabulous idea for me too! Don't suppose he'd like to spend some time in Florida right about now. Hmm? Very happy for you to have reduced your pink scrap stash. That's very impressive. I guess your hubby needs to bring you along to Florida too, so you can work on my scrap stash!ReplyDelete

The CPT, or current procedural terminology, codes for physical therapy range from evaluation and re-evaluation CPT codes 97001 and 97002, to orthotic and prosthetic management CPT codes 97760 to 97762. Various treatments and modalities are divided into service categories and receive a CPT code, explains American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.Continue Reading
The physical therapy service categories include evaluations and re-evaluations, modalities, therapeutic procedures, active wound management, tests and measurements, and orthotic and prosthetic management. Modalities such as thermal, acoustic, light, traction and whirlpool treatments fall within CPT codes 97010 through 9702, while ultrasound and iontophoresis fit within CPT codes 97032 and 97039. Aquatic therapy, gait training, neuromuscular re-education and manual therapy are billed under CPT codes 97110 through 97546 as part of the therapeutic procedures group. CPT codes 97597 through 97606 include all wound care services, and all special tests requested by insurance carriers are coded with CPT codes 97750 to 97755, reports American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
Each of the CPT codes are used by physical therapists to bill insurance companies for services rendered. Treatments and modalities that require direct clinician contact are billed differently than services that require only therapist supervision. CPT codes are billed in multiple units when one-on-one attention is mandated, while supervised services such as traction and unattended electrical stimulation are not. In addition to billing and claims processing, data collected using CPT codes allow researchers to determine trends and target areas for needed improvement, according to PhysicalTherapy.com.
The American Medical Association has copyrighted CPT and has written a CPT guidebook to provide the most current definitions. The guidebook provides guidance in how to determine whether a service requires direct clinician contact or only supervision. Reading the how-to section familiarizes clinicians and staff with CPT code terminology and improves understanding of billing procedures, states PhysicalTherapy.comLearn more about Diagnostics & Imaging

Well it's been a long stretch of time since I last posted anything. The large craft show that Shannon and I were in took alot out of me. We did really well and have had to re-group to get the inventory up again on the site. I have finally learned how to list things on my own and figured I better start learning or Shannon will not do it anymore for me. I can only play dumb for so long. The daycare kids are not letting me do much during the day and so I have been trying to get things done on weekends and evenings. I will be taking a short vacation and driving to AZ in a week and so I will be trying to make the brain be more creative. The 3-day drive down there and the time by the pool should regenerate the creative thinking and get me on the right track again. So look for some new things in the coming weeks to see if the vacation helped.

Basic Biscuits
This is a basic biscuit recipe that is a standard favorite. I usually make a batch of these about every month. I also like to put a couple in small craft ziplock bags to give away to friends.
NOTE: You can keep these cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or frozen in a freezer Ziplock bag for up to six months. In hot months, dogs love to eat them directly out of the freezer. In colder months, I take a couple out in the morning to treat George in the afternoon.
1 c. Whole Wheat Flour
1 c. Regular Flour
½ c. Powdered milk
½ c. Wheat germ
1 Egg slightly beaten
1 tsp. Molasses
6 Tbl. Shortening
½ C. Water
Preheat oven to 325.
Mix the dry ingredients. Cut in the shortening. Beat the egg in a separate bowl and then add it to the flour mixture along with the molasses and water. Knead on a floured surface for about two minutes. Roll dough out to ¼ inch and cut into shapes using cookie cutters.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Let cool before treating your dog.

Comment Spam is Evil
I'm not posting as often as I should (well.. duh) and so I've decided to change how comments are handled. Comments on posts older than 14 days (ie, pretty much everything) will need to be moderated. Given the 999:1 ratio of drive-by spam to actual people commenting, this won't be a huge problem. If the spammers start filling my mailbox, I'll turn off comments entirely.

Snakes we like to see in our Garden
Beautiful specimen: Corn Snake or very large Garter Snake. Seemed to like being held.
A Common Kingsnake.(below) They kill and eat Rattlers. This is a GOOD SNAKE.
9 comments:
That is a very pretty snake. Those are the good ones to have around. The others, not so much! I like holding them too. You just really have to be careful about the pattern of the colors to make sure it's not the deadly one (although I can't remember it's name right now).ReplyDelete
it's a good thing you know the difference..;pReplyDelete
I have a phobia about the "S" word but knowing that they are the "good" ones really make a difference. I have come across the "Not so good ones" many times and am cautious about any snake. They sure are pretty though. Thank you for visiting my blog again Farmlady and sharing your insights. Your home sounds wonderful.ReplyDelete
I know some snakes are good and others are bad. I don't like any snake. I stay clear of one when I see it.ReplyDelete
It is that time of year again. JD got a glimpse of a copperhead as it made a bee line under the house last week. I sure wish they would learn the boundary lines......ReplyDelete
Um, you keep the snakes! Luckily, we have itsy bitsy ones here in the San Juan Islands! Thanks for visiting my blog, loved meeting you in class. The Nina and me photo is pretty typical of me having a good time, at least I try! Take care, watch out for those snakes. Love your Carlton, I have a yorkie, Chester.ReplyDelete
I freak out toooo fast to tell. You have got nerves of steel. All those rattlers out there. I got the heeee beee geee beees......ReplyDelete
man the PUPSTER is sooooo much cuter...
you know your snakes!ReplyDelete
Pretty snakes. We welcome the nice ones here too. I'm pretty sure that is a gopher snake. Corn snakes are native to the eastern states. We have three of them as pets and they do like to be held. We even take them for walks.ReplyDelete
P.S. I got the starts Thank You SO much! Not sure they liked the trip though despite the great packaging :-) Did you root them simply in a glass of water? I'm hoping they will perk up.
Please leave a comment here.
I love to hear what you think about my blog. Feel free to speak your mind. Please be honest.., but remember your manners.

This kit is just in time for spring. And those little birds are so cute!
I dug into the archive for some of these photos. Sid was just 7 at this birthday party. Now she's 16! It's good to go back and remember, isn't it?
The kit includes the Penelope complements, limeade washi, and silver playful puffies. And you have LOTS of leftovers.
And of course, you can make cards with your leftovers. The cutting guide includes all the cuts! Spring Critters, which have thinlets to make for easy cutting, is the stamp set used for the leftover cards.
The beauty of this kit is that the cutting guide is available online so you can purchase this and work on it at home or contact me to join one of my Cherish Your Memories classes and make it in the company of friends.
Happy Memory Keeping!

SCAMPER your way to creativity
Alex Osborne an advertising executive in the 1940's came up with a technique for helping kick start the creative process. It is a simple approach and has proven effective in those quiet moments during a brainstorm when people begin to dry up with ideas. It isn't only useful in brainstorming it can have many applications in innovating new ideas and improving on existing ideas as well.
The technique has been summarized in the acronym SCAMPER.
S = Substitute
Can something be substituted for something else. Is there the possibility of replacing the rules, or the system.
C = Combine
Better know as synthesis how can related or unrelated items be brought together and mixed to create a new whole or part.
A = Adapt
Adaptation may mean looking out into the World an seeing if there is anything else that exists that already does something similar that can be tweaked or adapted to work for our situation needs. Maybe it can build on the work of something or someone else outside your current domain.
M = Magnify or Modify
simply, what can be made larger or extended. Is there a way to increase frequency. I would also consider the reverse can something be made smaller and reduced. Think scales and proportions. Like Charles and Ray Eames factors of 10. Can something be modified and given a new twist, what can be changed.
P = Put to other uses
Is there the possibility of putting something to a new use. How might you use it in another context. Is there another material that can alter its use.
E = Eliminate
Trim away excess, minimise. What if it were smaller. What if it was divided into many parts. What rules can be eliminated.
R = Rearrange or Reverse
What other arrangements might be better. Different patterns. Swap components. Reverse the context. What is the opposite. What are the negatives. Turn it around, upside down. How might it be unexpected.
The concept is based on the idea that everything is an addition or modification of an existing thing. Under these premise applying these thinking ideas should get things rolling again.

'Why are you angry?
And why has your countenance fallen?'
(Genesis 4:5)
People's hearts (feelings) are not usually put into words. Most of the time they are expressed in subtle ways: body language, tone of voice, facial expressions, and gestures. Communication specialist tell us that as much as 85% of human communication is non-verbal.
One of the reasons God gave us bodies is because they offer a brilliant way for us to speak the language of the heart. Genesis 4:5 is merely one example. Dallas Willard makes an acute observation,
The tendencies and feelings that run our life, whether we are aware of it or not, reside in fairly specific parts of our body, and they reveal themselves to others through our body language – in how we "carry" our bodily parts. They not only govern our immediate responses in action, but also are read with great accuracy by observant people around us and then determine how they react to us. We wear our souls "on our sleeve," even when we ourselves are oblivious to them, and that governs the quality of our relations to others.[i]
Researcher Daniel Stern calls the ability to read and respond well to someone's heart attunement. Relationslly intelligent people are geniuses at it. You can see it at work between mothers and infants. The infant picks up a rattle and shakes it and smiles, and the mother gives a little shake of her shoulder. The infant squeals with delight, and the mother gives him a smile and a little squeeze, or matches the pitch of her voice to the baby's squeal.
The mother is attuned to – in tune with – what is happening in that little infant's heart. She is giving a sense of emotional connection to that child, helping him know his feelings are understood. Stern finds that mothers do this about once a minute with their children.[ii]
When this happens well, the child grows up to be able to read his own heart – that is, have self-awareness – and can also tune in to others.
One dangerous aspect of this skill is that generally people who don't read others well aren't aware that they don't. It is like being emotionally tone-deaf. Ever sing next to someone who had a tin ear and a loud voice? If you have one tone-deaf person signing off-key in a room full of people with perfect pitch, who is the one person that doesn't know someone's singing off-key?
It is much the same with being relationally tone-deaf. These folks are not aware that they're doing anything wrong. Thus, why relational intelligence is important. At work, certain people consistently transmit anger, judgmentalism, or discouragement. They may know the technical aspects of their job well. They may be right a lot. They may even get many tasks done. But other people don't want to be around them. They are stuck at a low level in their vocational lives and don't know why. They just find themselves feeling left out or isolated. They find that their relationships will hit a wall. Growth and opportunities at work will get cut off at a certain level. People will have a way of distancing themselves after a time. This may be quite painful.
The truth is, they may be doing things that keep people from entering into intimate relationships with them – but they never know! Their isolations is a mystery to them.
The good news is that relational intelligence can be learned. Develop this skill, get it right, and you will have opportunities to influence, comfort, challenge, and love people on a regular basis. You will have friendships characterized by a deep sense of openness and intimacy. You will be sought out by others at work. You will be much more effective as a parent or a friend.
The Carnegie Technological Institute has stated that
90% of all people who fail in their life's vocation fail
because they cannot get along with people.[iii]
Question: "People are sending messages all the time without saying a word, usually with their bodies." How well do you do at reading people?
Take this week to practice noticing what people are saying to you with their faces, their body language, and the tone of their voices.

Downloading movies from the Internet has become a good option due to the growth of file sharing technologies and the availability of high-speed network connections. If you have a good Internet connection and some free space on your hard drive, you can easily learn how to download a movie even if you are a novice computer user.
- Address the necessary legal issues. In most jurisdictions, downloading a movie that you don't already own on another format (such as a DVD) will put you in violation of copyright laws. Films which are in the public domain will not be subject to this rule; they are free to use and not governed by any intellectual property laws. Be careful to address the legality of downloading a particular film before you begin.
- Download and install a BitTorrent client. While many other file sharing protocols exist, BitTorrent is the most effective and popular method for downloading feature-length films. To use this method, you need to install a piece of client software on your computer. Many of these applications are available for free; some of the most popular clients are Tixati, Vuze, Transmission, and uTorrent.
- Search for the movie on a BitTorrent search engine. After installing your torrent client software, you can download the torrent file for the movie in which you're interested. The best way to do this is to search for the film on a torrent search engine; 2 popular sites are Pirate Bay and Isohunt. You can also find torrent files using a regular search engine. A torrent file has a ".torrent" extension, and is actually just a text file telling your torrent client where to download the pieces of the movie.
- Load the torrent file into your BitTorrent software to begin the download. Double-click on the torrent file to load it into your torrent client. The download should begin automatically. Once the file has downloaded completely, leave the torrent software open for several hours to allow other users to download the file from you. This will improve your "torrent ratio," and will allow you to download additional files more quickly.
- Open the movie file in a media player application. Once the torrent has finished downloading, your client software will save the actual video file on your hard drive (check the settings in your torrent software to determine where the file is saved). Double-click the file to open it in your default media player. You can safely delete the torrent file itself once the video clip has finished downloading.
- Torrents files with a large number of "seeders" (users who are sharing the whole file) will download the fastest.
- The website Archive.org maintains a large database of public domain films. If the film in which you're interested is public domain, consider checking for it on this site (or a similar site) first.

Description of Course:
"Art is not a mirror held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it."
Bertolt Brecht
This course offers an introduction to art as both object and experience. We will be guided this semester by the fundamental thesis that art is a means of critical thinking. We think through art as it relates us to other people and the rest of the world. We think through art as it is an object, experience, discourse, market, and belief system. Under the umbrella of "critical thinking," the course is organized according to the following themes: form, media, idea, heritage, history, style, "-ism," modernism, postmodernism, the contemporary, power, institution, and business. Your grade is based on three components: note-taking; short written assignments; and two short exams.
Required Texts:
Required Textbook:
1. John Berger. Ways of Seeing. New York: Penguin Classics, 1990.
Course Requirements/Evaluation Criteria:
• general familiarity with and comfort around "art"
• to think critically about the world by way of art
• ability to identify salient characteristics of a given 'work' of art
• clarity of thinking and writing about works of art
• familiarize students with public institutions of art
• familiarize students with art criticism
• habituate engagement with public institutions of art
• habituate close and careful readings of text
• habituate close and careful readings of works of art
• habituate keen phenomenological awareness (understanding through the five senses) of surrounding environment
Students are required to attend every class, complete all assignments, and participate with candor and verve in class. Students are allowed two unexcused absences after which each absence will result in the lowering of the final grade by one full letter. Students with illnesses that require extended periods of absence are encouraged to officially withdraw from class. Under no circumstances do I accept late assignments. All written assignments must be printed and submitted in class on paper: I do not accept digital documents.

This past weekend I drove up to Big Sky, Montana with the owners of Crossfit 714 (the gym where I train) for the annual Crossfit Affiliate Gathering. I had an amazing time (other than the long drive to and from southern California)! Did some downhill mountain-biking, experienced whitewater rafting for the first time (so much fun), stayed in an amazing penthouse suite, ate elk, boar, venison, duck, and bison, drank a ton of Montana beer, built a bonfire, and hung out with some awesome people (including Greg Glassman, the creator of Crossfit!). It really was an awesome experience, and I hope that I'm blessed enough to do it again (maybe next year).
On a more bummer note I partially dislocated my shoulder (again) the day before we left for Montana, doing behind-the-neck jerks. My grip was too wide, and I was so eager to put up a big number that I rushed the lighter warm-up sets that should have prepared me for the bigger weights. Last time I maxed-out on this movement I put up 275 lbs., so I was confident I could get 300, and I felt good through 265. I loaded up 285, got it overhead, but the weight traveled behind me and I didn't let go in time, which resulted in my humerus moving forward in my shoulder socket, and a nasty grinding feeling, along with a disturbing pop when the bone popped back in immediately when I dropped the weight. It's a very surreal feeling to have your bones in places they're not supposed to be!
Since it did immediately pop back in I didn't feel the need to go to the doctor and just started icing it right then. It's been a week now, and while it still hurts it's much less severe than it was in the couple days following the injury. I'm taking it easy for at least another week, and if the pain doesn't get better I'll see the doctor and maybe get an MRI. My biggest fear is that I tore something, but I think the pain would be worse than it is if that were the case, to be honest. But like I said, if it doesn't feel better soon I'll go see the doc. In the meantime I plan on doing some rotator cuff strengthening exercises that I learned when I was in physical therapy earlier this year. I think slacking off on those rehab/prehab movements is partly to blame for the re-injury.
I can still use it, as I did when mountain biking and rafting, I just can't internally rotate it or do any overhead movements (at least, without pain) at the moment. Today I'm going to test how it feels to do push and pull movements, and adjust my training accordingly. I think this effectively puts the kibosh on my Olympic lifting career, at least for now, but it also allows me to explore some other aspects of strength and conditioning that I've been neglecting (like sprinting and explosive plyometrics).
Anyway, once I get started on my 30-day challenge next month I'll be posting a lot more frequently, and I'll keep you posted on my training as well.

I hope you are all doing well out there this week. So much to share with you as usual. To start, I have listed some new prints in the shop that I think you'll enjoy. A nice pair of Maine beach prints for you classy patrons here. (You get both of the prints below for one price. Good times.)
Oh, and speaking of fun stuff, my Sweetie got a brand new dress for early spring and wanted me to shoot her in it. Well, I can't just go the normal, boring route, so I whipped our taxidermied squirrel off the wall and took this shot. Kinda cool, huh? I love how all the elements came together on this one.
Have you guys heard of the digital illustrator Matthew Lyons? No? Well, his work is sort of a mix between schematic drawings, futuristic sci fi art and architectural blue prints. I adore it. It's rare that I find a truly unique style like this.
|Yep. This is me trying to talk to Google+ and failing...

Civil society is breaking down in Greece. Riots, civil anarchy, violence and a rapidly descending respect for the rule of law is being played out on the streets of Athens daily. What once was the "cradle of civilization" is now a country descending into barbarism. The road to anarchy is often paved with good intentions.
Left wing governments for three generations, originally inspired by the American-trained economist Georges Papandreou, have fought the fairness battle -- the same battle that Obama is engaged in today -- and Papandreou emerged the winner in Greece. They got what they wanted -- a bloated government, a massive government bureaucracy, and promises of fat government retirements and free health care for their citizenry. They got it all. They had the same dream that the Obama folks have in the US.
Now we can see clearly where that dream takes you -- the modern nightmare that is Greece and will soon expand to Portugal, Italy, Spain, France and, yes, even Germany. Slowly but surely civil society is unraveling in Europe and economic collapse is unfolding. This is the inevitable outcome of a society that believes that no one is responsible for providing for their own health care, their own retirement, their own housing and for their own family. As the government, whatever "government" means in this context, gradually assumes responsibility for all of the basic necessities of life, there is no one left to produce the goods and services to provide those necessities. That's where we are in Greece.
One can only guess the ultimate outcome of the Eurozone collapse, but one thing for certain, it won't be freedom and democracy. When the respect for law and personal responsibility have disappeared from society, that society becomes fair game for demagogues and that's most likely where this is headed. If you think twentieth century Europe was a continual warzone, watch the unfolding drama now taking place in Europe. Finger pointing is now the major government policy in every European country. There are no political solutions to what ails Europe.
The roadmap to Greece is plainly in front of the US. If Americans want to travel down this road, it is pretty easy to see where it leads.

My Thoughts:
I had the chance to review the Divine LED Ultra Bright LED Headlamp:
So, what sets this headlamp apart from others that are cheaper is the quality of the materials used. The elastic in the band is thicker and seems to have a high degree of durability, plus it also has adjustment points so that you can make sure that you have it fit perfectly on your head and it will not move. The type of elastic used seems so durable that I doubt it will stretch out like we have had happen on cheaper headlamps.
The plastic on this headlamp also seems highly durable. With cheaper headlamps I have found that with use and changing batteries the plastic is more apt to crack and this type of plastic does not feel like it would do that.
The other point on this headlamp that you can tell it is a higher quality headlamp is in the switch. I can't explain it but there is just a way that some cheaper headlamps allow you to feel the push of the spring more as it pushes on the button, which is not the case with this headlamp.

- Samsung's Note 7 fiasco isn't hurting the Galaxy S8 one bit
Posted by : brij fbEducator Monday, 24 April 2017
The Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 launch and subsequent two recalls were arguably the most embarrassing consumer electronics mishap in recent memory, so you'd think users might be a bit more cautious buying Samsung gear just a few short months later. Nope: if Samsung's S8 sales are any indication, consumers have all but forgotten the whole flaming phone fiasco just six months prior. Not only did the device exceed break Samsung's record for mobile phone pre-orders, it also beat last year's S7 sales by a 30 percent margin, according to a statement by the company. Samsung isn't providing any specific numbers, but given the company already leads Android sales,…

One of my all-time favorite snacks is bánh dầy--little rice cakes shaped as the sky according to Viet legend brushed in oil and sandwiched around steamed silky pork sausage and wrapped in banana leaves. Whenever we were near a Viet deli/bakery, I always grabbed 1-2 for the road. Since I've stopped eating MSG, I've stopped eating at Vietnamese food places, because inevitably there is MSG in everything especially
In a strong food processor or blender, process the rice until it makes a smooth, creamy paste.
|Mochi dough
Pour the mixture into a bowl or small pot you can steam with in a double boiler (you can also use a pressure cooker for about ten minutes). The rice should steam about 30 minutes or until the mixture gets glutinous and sticky. It should also appear somewhat glossy.
|Steamed mochi dough
I set the pyrex in the pressure cooker which was boiling by this time and steamed for 10 minutes. When the timer went off, I released the steam and voila. I love my pressure cooker! Mochi in 20 minutes from grinding to steaming. The mochi is ready to eat at this point IMO with powdering or oiling.
On a tray dusted with the starch, pour the hot mochi mixture as evenly as possible, about ½ inch in thickness. Let cool before putting in the refrigerator for at least two hours. If you want to make round mochi, you'll need to work with the very sticky dough to form the balls, which is time consuming and worth mentioning again: very sticky.
|Mochi ready to bake
|Puffed up baked mochi!
|Mochi "beignet"!
We didn't have anything but deli roast beef on hand so that's how we did. We found the mochi a bit too plain so I'm tweaked my amounts to up the gray sea salt (since it is milder than table salt).
I'll work on a modified bánh dầy recipe forthcoming...

AMP congratulates released prisoners and their families; remembers those still incarcerated
The American Muslims for Palestine, a national education and advocacy organization, today congratulates the 26 Palestinians who were released from Israeli incarceration after being held for decades as political prisoners. At the same time we remember the thousands still being held in contravention on international law and vow we will not tire until every last Palestinian is free from occupation and until all Palestinian refugees can return to their homeland.
Political prisoners?
All of the 26 prisoners released were either convicted of murder or attempted murder. They were thugs. Criminals. Murderers.
Among those released include:
Damouni Saad Mohammed Ahmed, convicted in the brutal lynching of IDF reservist Amnon Pomerantz in 1990.
Massoud Issa Rajib Amer, convicted in 1993 of brutally hacking to death Ian Feinberg. Amer was also convicted of killing three Palestinians suspected of collaborating with Israel.
Tukeman Yusef Suleiman Mahmed, Abu Hanana Zakariya Udia Usama, and Abdel-Aziz Said Kassam Ahmed, involved in the 1992 shooting death of Moshe Biton.
Samarin Mustafa Kalib Asrar and Kra'an Azat Musa Musa, abducted and murdered Israeli soldier Tzvi Klein in the West Bank in 1992
Abu-Dahila Hasan Atik Sharif murdered his employer Avi Osher.
Gnimat Amar Mahmad Mustafa and Gnimat Mahmoud Mahmad Ziad, convicted in the murder of Meir Ben-Yair and Michal Cohen.
Yosef Mahmad Haza Haza and Beni-Hasan Abdalla Mahmud Otman murdered two hikers
Asor Masbach Khalil Mahmad murdered an Israeli taxi driver David Kaspi
Abed al Raba Nimr Jabril Issa murdered Revital Seri and Ron Levy while they were hiking in 1984

Kindred Spirit
Kindred spirit please know that I hear you, through the wind and the rain.
This pain we know, not many have felt: the depth of the emptiness
and the breadth of the sorrow.
This dispair that comes wandering in like a vagabond or
blowing in like a storm.
How can we explain the struggle it is to remain rooted in the midst of a tsunami?
After the roar of the winds leaves in its wake pain, devastation and an exhaustion which seem eternal.
After the roar of the winds is silence...
a strong, loving, comforting voice says:(Isaiah 40:28-31)
28Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
30Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Who are we to doubt His word?
Could be filed under: depression, faith, honesty, sadness

I texted back and forth with Simone about this for days. She finally met up with him at a concert where they got along GREAT. Had a lot of fun and talked like nothing had really happened. Except, they clearly weren't together. Was he going to make a move? Was he going to profess his undying love for her and make everything okay again? No. None of that happened.
In the end, he went his way and she went hers. This is definitely for the best, the final meeting was a good way to get closure, to reassure herself that YES breaking up with him was the right thing because "I don't have special feelings for him, we are better as just friends."
A few weeks passed and they both ran into each other at a local bar. She was with friends, he walked in alone. Their eyes met and he stood there, fully aware of her presence but didn't wave or acknowledge. Not even a smile. They may as well have been perfect strangers who had never shared any intimate talks or time together. As infuriating as this is, it's for the best. One last nail in the coffin of the relationship that wasn't meant to be.

Greatest female athlete of all time, my opinion, easy hands down Cheryl Miller! She is the sister of retired NBA Star and Hall of Famer Reggie Miller. Currently Cheryl is a sideline reporter for NBA games on TNT Sports and also works for NBA TV as a reporter and analyst having worked previously as a sportscaster for ABC Sports, TBS Sports and ESPN. She was also head coach and General Manager of the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury.
But back in the day, before my time obviously, she was a beast on the court. Miller played at Riverside Polytechnic High School from '78 to 1982, where she was a four-year letter winner and led her team to a 132-4 record. She was awarded the Dial Award for the national high-school scholar-athlete of the year in 1981. What proves her skills; she was the first player, male or female, to be named an All-American by Parade magazine four times. REALLY? Get this; during her senior campaign she scored 105 points in a game against Norte Vista High School. REGGIE WHO? I mean Cheryl only averaged 32.8 points and 15.0 rebounds a game, then just felt it was necessary to set California state records for points scored in a single season with 1156, also points scored in a high school career with 3405.
At USC Miller was a four-year letter winner, scored 3,018 career points which put her sixth all-time in NCAA history, and was a four-time All-American. In her career, her rebounding mark of 1,534 ranks her third all-time in NCAA history.
All Cheryl did was lead the Trojans to a 112-20 record and two NCAA titles. In the Olympic Games Cheryl won 3 gold medals in the 80's winning every award possible in basketball criteria. It safe to save there's not an award that she hasn't won.
BUT what really caps everything off that Cheryl Miller was drafted by the United States Basketball League made up of men. If that don't make you a dominate athlete as a female then what does?

Before God makes us new, we live as though we see the world through a fog. We see glimpses of beauty, sunshine, joy, and wonder. Yet, we just can't see enough to cause us to be truly amazed and awed. When God removes the veil from before our eyes, it is just like watching the sun destroy the morning fog. It runs away and cannot hide. It pulls back to reveal such beauties that we could never have imagined to exist in the world.
God does the same thing to our minds and hearts. We were unable to understand, see, or believe. Then God does something that we have nothing to do with in order to give us eyes to see, ears to hear, and minds to understand. The fog is lifted and we cannot contain the joy and the grace that we have been shown abounds more than we could ever imagine.
As we approach the holidays, may we all be grateful most of all for the work that Jesus did, both through His life and His death, for those whom He has chosen even before the creation of the world. We can be thankful for the many worldly blessings that we have, but if we do not realize the most important thing to be thankful for, then we have missed the entire point. The early things do not matter, but the things of God remain forever! May you be the tool used to remove the fog from someone's eyes, or to lift it from their minds. May you shine forth the rays of God's truth to the ends of the earth in order to proclaim His goodness and mercy towards those whom He has chosen.

First off, Riki if you are reading this STOP NOW! I know your birthday is not for a couple more weeks, but I am posting your card today since I want to enter it for the Card Positioning Systems sketch for this week.
Here is the sketch . . .
I have know for MONTHS that I wanted to make a card with a unicorn on it for Riki's birthday. We both love the line from the movie Despicable Me when the little girl yells "It's So Fluffy!!!" as she holds her toy unicorn.
I used the unicorn cut from Paper Doll Dress Up. I cut it twice . . . once from white and once from pink . . . then I trimmed the pink pieces I needed and layered them on to the white. I used two different Cuttlebug embossing folders for the matting papers. Of course, inside I wrote "It's So Fluffy!"
If you like this sketch and would like to enter a card you created at Card Positioning Systems, you can do so by following this link.

I thought I better type the last blabbering of 2015 before the clock strikes midnight. So here I am on the train to my cousins' place for dinner after a whole day of shopping in Liverpool Westfield. My first time in there btw :P
2015 has been a tiring year. Buying our first home, dealing with unreliable solicitors and too relaxed broker, had to hear how my crazy neighbors still trying to make troubles on our last day there, being left behind by more of my closest friends, lost trust in one of my closest colleague, fed up with work, had my temper exploded so many times, one of my closest friends turning into such judgemental and annoying person, etc etc... Even my dentist said to me, "We might have to look at the spleen in the new year, coz it seems to me that you've been under stress. You've mentioned about clenching your jaw on last visit too..." Yeah, I did tell him that I wake up with tight jaws on both my visits this year. Per his suggestion, I started taking calcium and magnesium this year. Btw, they do give you good sleep! I don't have trouble sleeping, but I noticed that when I take those vitamins, I have deeper sleep :)
Apart from the bad ones, of course I had good moments in 2015. Let me try recalling them: moving into our new house, realising that I still have friends who're willing to help with the moving even the ones I thought were not that close, living in between 2 very good, friendly and helpful neighbours, getting even closer with my other bunch of friends and realising how good and helpful they are, winning competition as the results of someone pissing me off, seeing how my dad is not depressed anymore, trip to indo and meeting my bestfriends again and still closer than before. Plus, I started going to gym and tried out the classes :) I got closer to my colleagues too!
I can't remember what my 2015 prediction was, but if it says friendships, then it's true. This year I've been asking so much favour from my friends, to the point that sometimes I'm ashamed to actually ask. But the people who actually helped me, they genuinely wanted to help and werent feeling troubled at all! And we got closer to the ones we weren't that close before too.
I didn't have much time to do crafts this year, but I will try to do more next year. I'm more into planners now. One reason is because I get forgetful, I have to write it down to remember. I don't like using the mobile phone as I realise using reminders make me forget even more. Having it written down in a planner let me review the plans for week ahead, and that way my brain gets reminded. I also write down things I have been meaning to do and start ticking them off the list.
I lost trust in some people and also got put off by some people. Well at least I learned not to give 100% trust in people. Regardless how well you know the person, you won't know exactly what they are thinking.
I will enjoy my last moments in 2015, and I hope 2016 bring me more exciting things and happiness in the way I could never have imagined it would be :)

Attorney General Martha Coakley's Office Announces Arraignment of Former Hospital Facilities Administrator Charged with Stealing Millions of Dollars From Employer
In June 2007, the Attorney General's Office began an investigation into Lawler's alleged activities after first learning about the matter from an investigator at a bank where Lawler kept a bank account, and later also from information received from the hospital, which cooperated fully with the investigation. Investigators discovered that while working as the project manager for the hospital, Lawler oversaw the contracts and accounts for construction projects done at the hospital. Authorities allege that Lawler set up fake bank accounts in the name of one of the construction companies, and allegedly stole the hospital's payment checks to the construction company and deposited these funds in the fraudulent bank account for his personal use. The majority of the funds Lawler allegedly stole have been recovered
During the course of the investigation, authorities also discovered that Lawler allegedly hired numerous smaller-sized contractors and provided these contractors with large amounts of construction work. Authorities allege that many of these contractors were the defendant's personal friends, and many of the invoices submitted to the hospital by these contractors were also fraudulent. Lawler allegedly helped these contractors submit fraudulent invoices from which the contractors received hundreds of thousands of dollars of payments. Investigators discovered that Lawler would receive either personal services or cash in return from these contractors.
Authorities also allege that that Lawler committed similar fraudulent act at previous employers for a number of years. Lawler allegedly created other false bank accounts in the names of legitimate contractors doing work for these entities, and submitted fraudulent billing statements and received the stolen funds from these fraudulent invoices on numerous occasions.
Additionally, investigators discovered that upon being terminated from the hospital for the alleged misconduct, Lawler filed for unemployment benefits and provided false information in his attempt to receive unemployment funds to which he was not entitled.
Investigators also discovered that Lawler filed a false income tax return for unreported income for the year 2003.
A Worcester County Grand Jury returned indictments against Lawler on May21, 2009. Lawler was later arrested by authorities on November 2, 2009, and was returned to the Commonwealth last Thursday. On November 13, 2009, Lawler was arraigned in Worcester Superior Court Judge James R. Lemire where he entered a plea of not guilty and was ordered held on $350,000 cash bail. Lawler is scheduled to next appear in court on November 30, 2009 for a pre-trial conference.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Rick Grundy, Chief of Attorney General Coakley's Criminal Bureau, with assistance from Assistant Attorney general nancy Maroney. It was investigated by Paul Stewart, Chief of Attorney General Coakley's Financial Investigations Division and financial investigator Sallyann Nelligan. Massachusetts State Police assigned to the Attorney General's Office also assisted with the investigation.

lol, well no, I'll give ya the highlights.
|Yes, I'm recycling photos today.
I never used them before but with 8 including a shadowseer, death jester and a few fusion pistols available, I loaded them up with harley's kisses and was set. Round one, I gotta bye (for a fluff ball army, that qualified as: winning!).
Round 2: Nidzilla.
Hive Angel has kicked my ass with his nids more time than I can count (my Eldar included) and so I was set to die. Spearhead/auto-tie mission, nids got to deploy/go first. He had a tyrant, 2 carnies, two of the ones that pop out of the ground (primes as I recall), and 2 infiltrating broods of a dozen genestealers each.
Turn 2) one giant bug popped out of the ground dead center in my army and shot something that tore up a gardener squad. The remaining carnie charged the dragon knights and the tyrant charged (but didn't wipe out or break) the pathfinders. In return there yet another DOOM and guide combo set for the bug that popped out of the ground. The combination of almost my entire army shooting at it and the harlequin's needing 6's to wound (and thus rend) meant that it died. Meanwhile superfly with his laser lance charged and dropped the 2nd carnie, saving the dragons.
Turn 3) big bug #2 pulls the same stunt finding itself in almost the same location and the same untenable situation, and as such my shooting and its subsequent death are almost a carbon copy of its predecessor in turn 2. Meanwhile the tyrant charged and killed superfly.
|Still only have one knight fully painted...
Turn 5) the Tyrant charges and kills of the dragon Knights and their Warlock, and its summarily DOOMED! and while another squad was guided. The Avengers, still enroute to the objective turned face and I said they were going to blade storm and...
...he said: 'don't worry about it, I'm just going to take him off of the table."
The next round saw me face off against Screech's Thousand Sons. Pitched battle/annihilation. Having faced my army before, he all but completely ignored his psyhic abilities along with the combination of a few really tough units won out over my horde of cheap and flimsy ones.
|The only vehicle in my army.
No matter, I tabled nids' without war walkers and only minimal casualties. I'm a happy man! (and probably in the market for some Harlequins...)
