Ok, so- this is a dress I want to make out of a different fabric. My mom did this with all our prom dresses, made a practice one to adjust everything, then cut into the real deal. I didn't want to mess up on this dress, so I decided to do a practice dress. It really cracks me up how the baskets of flowers ended up being perfectly centered without me meaning to do that. Even the collar part of the dress matches with the basket of flowers on the main dress- haha. And please ignore my lovely hair due in this pic. That back zipper part needs to be tucked in- I didn't hem anything.

I love the pattern! And actually...I think the fabric isn't so bad, either-you could totally pull it off. Or use it for Halloween and dress up your hair in a sixties style or something, sort of over exaggerated. Spray paint some shoes burnt orange, accessorize with the same color...ok, maybe not. But the pattern is definitely cute!

Although you may have turned on the PSU, you need to press the power button on the case to start the PC as well - the green light on the motherboard only means standby power is applied to the board but the board won't boot unless the power button is also pressed. You can find the Intel no boot troubleshooting wizard here and the support home page for your D525MW motherboard here (where you can check to see if your memory is compatible - otherwise Corsairs website should help).

Hi all,
Did you have any luck fixing this issue?
I have recently purchased the same setup and am experiencing the same issues.
4. Re: Intel® Desktop Board D525MW won't bootFlying_Kiwi Apr 12, 2012 5:46 AM (in response to rustiferch)
What stage did you get up to with the no-boot wizard (it really is a helpfull tool)?
5. Re: Intel® Desktop Board D525MW won't bootrustiferch Apr 14, 2012 3:09 PM (in response to Flying_Kiwi)
I keep getting back to the point where it states to update the bios. Only I can't because it doesn't boot far enough.
I've also tried 3 different brands of 2 x 2gb memory chips without luck. If I boot the board without memory I get the normal 3 beep pause error from the on board sound. With any memory in (even 1 chip) it boots, stays on for 3 seconds and then powers off. No BIOS post to update the bios.
Because I can't flash the bios the wizard then goes to 'Clear the CMOS' which I have done, I've just gotten to 'Does it boot out of the chassis', which I am about to test.
6. Re: Intel® Desktop Board D525MW won't bootrustiferch Apr 14, 2012 3:48 PM (in response to rustiferch)
Ok. I think I'm at the point of getting a new motherboard.
I've now completed the torubleshooting no boot wizard to no avail.
I've tested all new memory as recommended on the Intel and Kingston site.
I've tested the board out of the chassis with no success.
Thinking it was a power supply issue, I've tested using a completely seperate and working power supply.
Still the same effect. The power supply comes on, but turns off within about 3 seconds.
Any more help would be appreciated!
7. Re: Intel® Desktop Board D525MW won't bootFlying_Kiwi Apr 15, 2012 7:54 PM (in response to rustiferch)
It'd be worth having a careful read of the Product Guide and then Technical Specs for your board (both from Intels website here): http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/category/dsktpboards/db-d525mw/doc_guide but if none of the docs throw any light on your issue, It'd be worth calling Intel Tech Support for help. Sorry but I'm not very familiar with this board and it seems like you've tried all the logical steps I would have tried.
One other question - what OS are you attempting to load?
8. Re: Intel® Desktop Board D525MW won't bootChris Aug 3, 2012 10:52 AM (in response to gregoamps)
Sorry to but in but I'm having some trouble with the D525MW board.
I have tried the board with everything connected the fans start hdd turns on but I get nothing on my monitor.
I've tried it out of the case with nothing connected and still get nothing. I've tried the PSU from my main computer and it all turns on fine but again nothing on the monitor. I read in the product guide about beep codes and I have attached a speaker but I hear none with or without anything connected.
If you haven't figured it out this is all new to me and any help would be greatly appreciated.
9. Re: Intel® Desktop Board D525MW won't bootFlying_Kiwi Aug 3, 2012 12:32 PM (in response to Chris)
What's your history with this board and PCs generally Chris (eg its a brand new board that you're attempting to install in a new PC or one you obtained second hand etc)? Have you double checked all your connections going by the motherboard manual and what is actually on the HDD that you've connected to this board (if anything)? How is the monitor connected?
Have you had a look at the the Intel no-boot wizard yet Desktop Boards Troubleshooting system no boot issues

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS by Heather Vogel Frederick-REVIEW
The girls have picked names among themselves to be Secret Santa to. As each girl opens their gifts each day they are disappointed in their Secret Santa. It seems that their Secret Santa does not know them at all. When the "big reveal" on New Year's Eve comes around tempers are right under the surface.
Becca and her family spend Christmas on a cruise with Megan and her family. Becca's family has a secret that they do not want to share with anyone until after the Holidays. Becca can only think of how this secret affects her.
Megan's boyfriend has just broken up with her over email. She is heart-broken, but when she meets Phillipe the captains son she thinks that maybe life will go on.
Jess is disappointed as she was going to spend the holidays in Switzerland. An unfortunate accident keeps her in the States. When her aunt and uncle invite her family to come to their hotel in New Hampshire they decide to go there.
Emma is invited to go with Jess and her family. Her parents let her go, but she finds that it is not as fun as she thought it would be to be away from her family during The Holiday.
Cassidy and her family go out to California. Her step-father Stanley has a job offer that could take them back to California(where they lived before moving to Concord). Cassidy had longed to go back to California, but now she has established her home in Concord and is not sure that she want to move again.
Through all of the bumps and trials the girls' family and friendships stand the tests of time. I absolutely love The Mother-Daughter book Club series and recommend it as a great read for young girls. My daughter is 19 and when we got this new book in the mail she was so excited! She wanted to read it before I got to it, but was gracious enough to allow me first dibs! This 5th book was just as good as the 1st and I'm looking forward to future books in the series.
This is a totally Edifying book!

Another Back-Cracking Quack Attack - The Sequel
Anyway, in an unrelated yet extremely similar event, the British Chiropractic Association are suing Simon Singh for his article in The Guardian about how Chiropractic is quackery. Gimpy has republished the Guardian article (removed from the Grauniad Website) on his blog here, with some helpful annotations.
As I've said before, these bully boy legal tactics have habit of backfiring - I think the BCA are backed into a corner; either they demonstrate the evidence put to them is inconclusive or they admit to the world they are one of the largest and wealthiest flocks of quacks in the world.
The third way is to silence dissent by legal action - not, you'll note, by going after the Guardian, who printed it, but by going after Simon Singh himself. Dirty, dirty bully boy tactics - and as far I am concerned, a obvious admission that of that Simon Singh's evidence presents a real and credible threat to Chiro-quack-tic.
For more see the Quackometer, HolfordWatch and A day at The Pharmacy
7 comments:
It is difficult to understand that the BCA think they will get from this. The contingencies of forensic sophistry will always make the result uncertain and in no way invalidate the criticisms being made against the chiropractors. Whatever happens, there is bound to be more critical examination of the trade and that examinations is unlikely to be good for them.ReplyDelete
Are they really hoping to simply bully critics into silence? Has such a thing ever been achieved before in similar circumstances?
Presumably part of the benefit for the chiropractors is that Simon Singh will be restrained from talking about them for some time. It's all very disappointing.ReplyDelete
I have blogged about this from the perspective of an English media and telecommunications lawyer and an active Skeptic.ReplyDelete
Newspaper reports are notoriously bad guides to the essence of any legal case. The claim has not been published and it seems that the defence has not been served yet. Until one has sight of these documents, it is difficult to assess the merits of the question which will before the Court.
That said, if this goes to Court, the BCA have to show that the article defaes them, ie lowers their reputation. If this is established, then it id for Simon Singh to show that a defence (privilege, fair comment, justification) applies. This reverse burden of proof, and the legal costs risks of losing, means that libel litigation is often used by charlatans and crooks.
The Court room is not really the correct venue for assessing scientific claims (outside the specialised area of patent litigation).
I predict the BCA are not going to come out of this matter well.

Unity over at the Ministry of Truth asks an interesting question: Can you libel woo? She has some plausible insights into what might be driving the chiropractors' agenda in this action.ReplyDelete
"Conceivable, the public kicking that another bunch of woo merchants - homeopaths - has gotten over the last year or so may have spooked the BCA but, casting around for information presents a rather more enticing and plausible explanation as to why they might want to prevent the publication of adverse commentary in the press and any kind of critical public debate surrounding the efficacy and risks of chiropractic…
…and to see that explanation first hand one need only take a short trip over to the website of NICE the National Institute for Clinical Evidence, where we find that one of things they're working on is a new set of clinical guidelines for the treatement of non-specific lower back pain.
Yep, its the key to the NHS gravy train. If NICE approves the use of chiropractic manipulation as part of the treatment regime for lower back pain then the door opens to chiropractors taking referrals from the NHS under contracts in which the NHS pays their fees and before you can say 'vested interest' you've got a whole bunch of chiropractors on what is effectively the public payroll. Little wonder then that just about the last thing that the BCA want right now is science journalists asking all sorts of awkward questions like 'is there any evidence to show that it works?' and 'what kind of risks might patients face when referred for a course of woo?'. [Emphasis added.]"
All of which does sound plausible.
I wonder if they got the idea of using lawsuits to bully critics from the Scientologists?ReplyDelete

You had Bob Dylan here. How did that go?
Here's what I love about Dylan: He was exactly as you'd expect he would be. He wouldn't come to the rehearsal; usually, all these guys are practicing before the set in the evening. He didn't want to take a picture with me; usually all the talent is dying to take a picture with me and Michelle before the show, but he didn't show up to that. He came in and played "The Times They Are A-Changin'." A beautiful rendition. The guy is so steeped in this stuff that he can just come up with some new arrangement, and the song sounds completely different. Finishes the song, steps off the stage — I'm sitting right in the front row — comes up, shakes my hand, sort of tips his head, gives me just a little grin, and then leaves. And that was it — then he left. That was our only interaction with him. And I thought: That's how you want Bob Dylan, right? You don't want him to be all cheesin' and grinnin' with you. You want him to be a little skeptical about the whole enterprise. So that was a real treat.

3x3 PP-SP Matrix - Fix Script
Budget $30-100 USD
I have a script that I got from Scripts2Sell eBook Package.
I have resale rights to it.
Its called "3x3 PayPal-StormPay Matrix".
One of my customers who bought this script from me had complainne
that the script doesn't allow payer to move next level.
1 level - pay
2 level - pay
3 level - pay
This is the exact message my customer wrote:
"Repeat admin_mail-adres[1] paying. Not paying level 2."
There is no [url removed, login to view] file
so you would have to understand
how PHP works.. also how the
matrix script works as well.
Just upload all php files and
[url removed, login to view] to your mysql
I uploaded a ZIP folder for you to look at it. You can install it on to your server and see what up with the problem. Also see if there any other problem that might be existed in the script.
The lowest bid will be picked (can be lower than $30). I bought the Scripts2Sell with 30+ scripts at $47.
I may close early if one of you fixed the errors with good bid price.
I will need those scripts delivered to me when fixed. So my customer and I can upload them and test them to make sure it works.
Check my profile to find my website url, and deliver the script in ZIP to me.

Hello Everybody!
I don't know if you remember, but I wrote in my green book about the time that Jeremy got a younger brother, Lionel. He wasn't too happy about it then, because Rufus said that Jeremy wouldn't be able to come out and play anymore because he would have to watch his brother instead, and that he would have to share a room, and loads of other stuff that sounded pretty terrible. I have to admit, hearing that, I was very glad that I didn't have a younger brother - they just sounded like such a nuisance!
But, guess what? Now that Lionel is a little bigger, he's learning to talk, and his first word was 'Jeremy'! 'Course, he's really little, so it sounds more like 'Jermy' when he says it, but Jeremy's mum says he'll get better at it, and that it's a big honor for Jeremy because Lionel must love Jeremy very very much for that to be his first word. So now Jeremy is very happy with Lionel and says he's the best little brother a boy could have and he's very excited for him to get bigger so he can come and play with our gang. He even said he wouldn't mind sharing his room with him! So, I guess little brothers aren't so bad after all? I'm still not sure if I'd like one, but maybe I'll tell Mum that I wouldn't run away if it did happen, just in case she's not sure. Do you have any brothers or siblings? Let me know what that's like- I'm so curious!
Okay, hope you all are well!
Your friend,

Ladies I was SHOCKED this week when a very petite woman with HUGE boobs and lots of junk in the trunk walked into the gym. The shocking part was that she had on a white spaghetti strapped shirt with no bra to strap in her at least DDs. I have no idea how she got in a workout and managed to keep in the half of her boobs that was actually covered up.
The other offense I have seen lately at the gym is ladies with sugary drinks doing cardio.
My favorite one was seeing one of the trainers we have nicknamed "stupid trainer girl" drinking a frapaccino while she was on one of the spinning bikes.
She really has earned the name, we don't just make fun of perfect strangers. If I mention her to anyone else who attends the same gym they know exactly who I am talking about.
My husband once witnessed her instructing a client to throw dumbbells across the gym as far as they could as part of her work out. She also takes up multiple pieces of equipment at one time and refuses to let anyone work in. I really have no idea how she still works there.
I also watched a woman walking on the treadmill while drinking a Dr Pepper. No, not a diet one either. These are so amusing to me because drink like these give you a quick jolt then drop your blood sugar super fast. One of the best things you can do for yourself is properly fuel your body before and after a workout. Carbs and natural sugar (fruit) are a much better prework out fuel. Protein is also most effective for building muscle if eaten right after a workout. I usually stick a ww string cheese in my gym bag so that I can snack on it on my drive home.

Pinterest is a place filled with DIY projects I will never be able to do, rooms too pretty to have been lived in and way too many quotes. Sure I love quotes myself. Few words that say so much, whats not to love. But some quotes on pinterest just don't make sense and here are a few.
"Never give up, ever."
Sure if you want something you should try very very hard to achieve it. But sometimes it is best to know when to take a step back and say that ok I've it all that I had and it's just not working. Infact somebody once told me that after giving it your all if the project doesn't work its not your fault. Too many variables are out of your control. They do say that insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results.
"Trust no one."
People will betray you and people will break your heart. However heeding the advice of this particular quote won't protect you it will just ensure a very lonely life. Trust is something that has to be earned but how can anyone even hope to earn it if they're not even given a chance. So in response to this quote I'll just say, let some people in and make some friends. You won't regret it.
"Better days are coming they are called saturday and sunday."
Okay so I have believed in this for a significant part of my school life. But recently I have started enjoying school more. I think that this is because I finally like all the subjects I'm studying. So instead of waiting for the weekend we should enjoy our weekdays more. Instead of hating monday we should try and do something fun. I think that if you love what you do it ceases to seem like work.
So despite this little rant, I really do love quotes. Yes, even the pinterest ones and I will keep repinning them. These words fueled by teenage fantasy do catch my fancy more often than not. Even though some people think that they are meaningless I think that they are a cute and quirky way of expressing yourself.

Did I understood correctly? You want to use florescence as a detection instead of typical absorption and you can do that with labeled DNA. It might work in that case. Like I said UV is a problem since you need special optics components. If you just need UV excitation you just need to make sure that the microscope slide that the capillary is fixed on is UV transparent (and maybe remove the capillary coating). I like the idea of using microscope optics but florescence will be weak (small sample amount and florescence is weak in general) but adding all the pixels will help. One problem that could arise is that DNA ladder needs to have polymer passed with them. These would also absorb excitation wavelength and considering higher mass/molarity they would probably reduce your signal a lot. Another thing is heating, florescence would increase heat and that is not good for capillary stuff. I am curious how it will turn out.--

Hi Gordana,
what I had in mind for optical detection was a simple USB microscope focused onto the capillary. You could then take a video of it (amcap), and then pick the video up with ImageJ and plot color vs time/frame number.
My ImageJ skills are weak - I knew it as NIHImage, and I never had my own Mac to run it on, so I have not yet figured how to do this. I know from the examples that it is possible to step through the video (avi) file and treat the images sequentially. I am short of time, so only playing with this a little.
Possible cheap detectors for this:
1) a uv source shining through the capillary onto yellow highlighter drawn on paper behind - monitor diminishing of the fluorescence when an aromatic floats past.
2) some variation of sybase green/ DNA ladder
I am quite impressed with the magnification/focusing possibilities of those usb cameras. It is not near spectrophotometer level, but it is very cheap, and looks quite robust. When I get it all going, I'll look at linearity.
My current update is that capillaries with silicone oil run well with pillbox red and 50mM NaHCO3 as running buffer (pH 7.8, supposedly, but not measured).
In answer to your other question, both ends of the capillary were in fluid.

Are you sure optical detection is still "hard" today? How did you do the dielectric detection? Measure capacitance of the
capillary circuit?

The worst mistake you can do is to panic, thinking that this sale slump will never come to an end. You start second guessing yourself, wondering what it is your not doing. The smartest thing you can do is take a deep breath, relax your mind. At this current time, the last thing your brain needs is additional pressure from you panicking.
Sometimes you need to back away from all the pressure, what I use to do was go to the gym and have a good hard workout, this cleared my mind. If you are not into working out then, do something entirely different that you enjoy doing. Do a crossword puzzle, anything to get your thoughts away from your sales slump. The more you think about your depression with sales, the problem will only compound without any results.
There is also an old remedy that works for many people it is called de-stressing with healthy foods. Eating certain foods will help you with the stress level you're having currently. Here are some of the examples of healthy foods you can add to your diet.
Keep in mind nothing lasts forever, your sales slump will come to an end sooner than you think. Allow your brain to relax, listen to some meditational music to help your mind come to a complete state of relaxation. It's a proven fact when the brain is exposed to certain music beats it can relieve a lot of useless pressure from your mind. One that I use for me to relax my thoughts fully is the Evening Meditation.
How to revamp your thinking with a killer sales attitude that will change your current slump and close more sales. Think about baseball; they have a coach for almost every situation, from a bench coach to a pitching coach a first base coach, third base coach along with all the other coaches that the team employees. They correct small mistakes, which the player has no idea he is doing, his off his rhythm, they get him back on track.
What you need to do is review all of your latest sales you have made. Recall all the steps you took to make that sale; each transaction is different. Sit down, analyze each phase with each customer . this will allow you to see how you've made the sale and why you've done the deal. It works like magic, you reinforcing positive vibes that change your thinking and gets you understanding some the mistakes you might have made with the clients you did not close. Just like the baseball player who had it pointed out to him by his coach.
Then get back on track with some sales training, listen to some Zig Ziggler's sales training, to keep you focused, read some good books on sales, how to close more sales. They are countless of books that will help you, achieve more sales. But you need to study them, not just read them like a novel. Big difference explore the concepts that have been laid out for you.
If you apply these steps, you will drastically see results from the moment you meet your first client. You're better prepared; you have new found confidences in your abilities. You become an entirely different person. Hope these tips help you sell more than you ever did, but more importantly sales slump never last forever.
All the Best,

BEACH Program Update
Further sampling at the five beaches showed normal fecal bacteria levels. The beaches will remain open to swimming. Four beaches in Kitsap County and one Snohomish County beach had elevated fecal bacteria results at the beginning of the week. The high results were most likely due to rain after the long dry period. Runoff washes everything down to our waterways, increasing you chance of getting sick if you play in the water. The BEACH Program recommends avoiding water contact 48 hours after rainfall.
Visit the BEACH web site to find the latest results for this and other saltwater beaches: http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/eap/beach/
While these beaches are staying open to swimming there are still several beaches in WA closed or posted with an advisory. Visit the BEACH Map to see the current status of our beaches.
Jessica Bennett is the BEACH Program Data Manager. She is available at 360-236-3060 or email@example.com for questions.

Williams now has an 11-1 career record over Azarenka, and has won the last nine matches between the two.
"Maybe I'm doing the right things at the right time," said Williams, who also beat Azarenka to win the U.S. Open title before taking six weeks off.
Williams' win also prevented Azarenka from making sure early she would finish the year as No. 1, although the player from Belarus can secure that position with another victory in the round-robin portion of the tournament.
Williams, who is projected to finish the year at No. 3 no matter what, got her third win in three matches at the event when Azarenka served a double-fault. Azarenka also lost the first set on a double-fault and finished with nine.
I just was able to play better than I did in my first couple of rounds," Williams said. "That was what i was going to have to do going up against the No. 1 player in the world."
Azarenka squandered a 3-0 lead in the second set as Williams won the next four games to battle back.
"i had a lot of opportunities and I didn't use them. I couldn't keep up," Azarenka said. "It's one of these days, I am a little said because I broke her a lot and I had a lot of chances."
China's Li Na beat Angelique Kerber of Germany 6-4, 6-3 in another Red Group match to retain a slim chance of advancing.
Li's first win in two round-robin matches means she can still reach the semifinals, depending on other results in her Red Group.
The fifth-ranked Kerber, making her first appearance in the season finale, bowed out losing all three of her matches but played some outstanding tennis at times. She played more than three hours late Wednesday in a three-set loss to Azarenka.
The tournament brings together the top eight players in the world. They are split into two groups and two from each advance to the semifinals.
Williams and Maria Sharapova, who didn't play Thursday, have already qualified for the last four.
Sharapova, the French Open champion, could still take the No. 1 ranking away from Azarenka but has to win the tournament undefeated — and hope Azarenka loses against Li on Friday.
Williams has dominated the second part of the season, winning Wimbledon and the U.S. Open and also capturing th Olympic gold medal. She has won 46 of her last 48 matches.
Williams also beat Azarenka in the semifinals of Wimbledon and the Olympics.

Great Falls
The locks next to the river are part of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, which ran 185 miles between Cumberland, MD and Washington, DC. There are 74 locks along the way.
The canal operated between 1831 and 1924. Today, tour boats take you through a few of the locks.
The boats are pulled by mules, just like in the olden days.
When the boat gets into the final lock, the mules are given a rest and the historically-clad humans take over.
First the water is let out, then the lock is opened.
And out they come!
At this point, it gets really interesting. The boat needs to be turned around, which is done by women with poles.
Then the passengers are let off.
You can also go out a walkway to view the falls. Believe it or not, people kayak down it!

Interesting post. The boat tour looks like fun but I don't think I'd be one to kayak down those falls!! Great photos.ReplyDelete
It would be interesting working that boat tour...for a while. :)ReplyDelete
Love those pictues of the falls. Interesting boat tour info as well!ReplyDelete
I guess we hit the wrong end of the canal. Last year we found the canal after leaving Harpers Ferry and followed it to Cumberland MD where we camped in a Natl. Park Campground. Looks very picturesque.ReplyDelete
My first thought was G.F., MT. When we lived in D.C. we took the cub scouts on this boat ride. It was great fun.ReplyDelete
The falls are impressive, I haven't been there in over 20 years, have to make time before we head out FT.ReplyDelete
I'll probably have plenty of time. :c(
Think the Win's will kayak that when in the area?ReplyDelete
Its good to see that the canal has been maintained and used. So many over here have fallen into disuse but are being restored by enthusiasts.ReplyDelete
One of my favorite places for a quick outing. Timing has never been right to do the boat tour at the park, but we did the one that runs through another section of the Canal in DC ... it was interesting to see how mule- and human-power combined to operate the boat.ReplyDelete

I've seen the Falls and they are indeed Great. My son went on a kayaking trip with friends to the Falls. He ran some on it but not all; some of the others ran the whole thing. I've been enjoying your blog for months now. Keep up the good work!

I remember seeing the mules pulling a barge somewhere in PA. I think it was New Hope or the Delaware Water Gap. I don't think they did it in period costume though. That's pretty cool.ReplyDelete
Loved the blog. And I was in the area and missed it. Just can't see it all. Sorry I missed you too.ReplyDelete
Five of us biked part of the path today and watched the boat being pulled, going through the locks, and turning around. The falls are impressive but much muddier than in your pictures, probably from the rain we just had.ReplyDelete
I lived in the Maryland/DC area for 15 years, and Great Falls was one of my favorite spots. There is a great hike called the Billy Goat Trail from there -- lots of rock scrambling as you might expect. Thanks for the great photos!ReplyDelete

That one teacher.....
Do you remember that one teacher that was your favorite? I do, my all time favorite teacher was Mrs. Helner. She taught me to write in cursive and gave me the book Charlotte's Web. She was kind yet firm and meant business when she was teaching class. She was how all teachers should be. I wonder if she even knew what an impact she had on me and that I still remember her.
Who was your favorite teacher?

Mr. Collier was my 8th grade Art teacher, he taught me that I was an artist, to take myself seriously, that art was more than just for fun. Mrs Fuchs was my 11th grade English teacher, I worked my butt off in her class and never quite got 'it' but my writing was stellar in English 101 in college...

My favorite teacher was Mrs. Fleming, who taught me grades 1 through 4. I went to a rural one-room school where all 8 grades were together, with one teacher! I remember one boy who usually came to school unkempt and without much lunch. Mrs. Fleming knew his home situation wasn't the best so she'd always take him in the back room and feed him some breakfast at the beginning of the day. She knew he wasn't given breakfast at home and wanted to help out! What a gem.

This year I was able to experience Disney's Star Wars Weekends not only as a 501st member, but also for the first time as a park guest. Which is where I will start. This year I had a couple tickets left over to take my son, Gavin with me. We got there early enough to get fast passes to meet Jake Lloyd who over the past has gained a stubborn reputation but I found him a really cool guy. He chatted with Gavin about being nearly his age when filming Phantom Menace and asked if he ever thought about being in a movie. Then he saw my 501st shirt and laughed, telling me that he had friends in the Rebel Legion and in the Mandalorian Mercs, but thought we were a little too snooty with costumes. I had to reply take it up with Lucasfilm, they want us to be as screen accurate as possible.
If there is one thing that SWW is well known for is their Swag! They have huge store set up named the Darth's Mall where many exclusive items are sold plus some really cool Star Wars items like the Wampa hat below and a whole store set up inside for Her Universe. There was also copies and original fine art on sale, and yes one with a Wampa.
Another benefit of showing up early is being able to participate in the Jedi Training Academy, where they teach you the ways and moves of being a Jedi and they bring out Darth Vader and a second badie, this time Darth Maul, sometimes Asajj Ventress to test out their skills. Gavin got to challenge Darth Maul, but later said he could take them and their moves are too slow! Got to love the confidence of a 7yo.
Also we got to watch the parade from the crowd this time, and getting to hear and watch the fans from the sidelines is a totally different experience than being in the parade. When marching especially in bad guy armor, you have to be very stiff and militaristic. This time I got to cheer on the bad guys and boo the rebels! Where normally I hear the opposite. Disney really lets everyone know through their shows and employees that they are always rooting for the good guys and the bad guys, just like many Disney villains are just that bad guys. So through the day I enjoyed poking fun at any employee that gave a fun little mocking jab in return at my 501st shirt calling me a Empire Sympathiser.
As for all the extra goodies and shows that they had in the park, I really wanted to attend some of the Q&As but my son being 7 didn't quite get the concept of sitting and listen to someone talk. So I let him do what he wanted to and ride rides and go see other features like one of his favorite spots in the park, the Walt Disney: One Man's Dream exhibit. I think it is really cool that he enjoys museum type exhibits and loves history.
We ended the day watching the Hyperspace Hoopla which is the big show at the end of the day, the hoopla is the dance battle between good and bad and it is crowd voting on who wins, when we were there the Empire won, which was awesome. My son loved Palpatine and the punching bag.
Part 2 coming later this week..

Hometown Hospitality. Country Prices.
Dropped off my hubby and his buddy at Winstar and came back to Texas to antique - this was my very first time to visit Muenster and this antique mall will bring me back again...it's nicely laid out, and there's some pretty impressive color-coordination of lots of the displays. You'll find lots of good prices and items for just about every taste. Definitely worth a return trip! — Peggy V. on Yelp

I had been wanting to go to D.I. for a while, because I see fun craft things ALL of the time on various blogs that use thrift store finds.
We usually go to the D.I. by our house (where Mike works) 2-3 times a week. To drop off forgotten keys, bring a cake, have lunch with Mike, donate, etc.
Ironically, I rarely go there to shop.
I used to, but then my kids realized who their Dad was, because the employees/Mike's co-workers spoiled them while we visited. That turned them into little punks who thought that they owned the place.
Rather than be a decent mom and discipline my children, I just stopped taking them with me to shop there.
And since the kids and I are a package deal, that meant I hadn't been there in a while to shop.
SO. With this in mind, we went to the D.I. on the other side of town.
Not only did Mike find a brand-new dress shirt for cheap, I got a bunch of other great stuff!
I have been wearing the same shirt every Sunday to church, because my body is in a funky stage that can only be fixed with the cessation of nursing. I've looked around, but it's hard (for me) to buy a shirt that I know I will only wear for a little while. Last night I found 3 nice-enough-for-church shirts (one of which was brand spankin' new) that fit AND a skirt that I've tried on at Target and liked, but didn't want to fork out $20 for... for $3!
I also found 2 long-sleeved shirts for Grace, 1 for Adam (with a Nike logo, which he has been really wanting... to be like Kobe), for the winter.
We got a toy for Josh. We didn't save many of Adam and Grace's toys and he needed some toys other than rattles. This toy was new-in-box, and it normally sells for $28. We paid $1.50.
Don't mind the girl in underwear in the background. Because it means that she is wearing underwear. Which makes me feel like I've won.
And... I found this brand-new bulletin board that I get to sand down and play with. I've been wanted a sturdy bulletin board for our family, but didn't like the ones at Target/Wal-Mart. This was from Deseret Book and it will definitely work... especially for $2.
I also found some various items that I'm going to try to craft with... candlestick holders to try to make a cupcake plate, some containers, etc.
We got some great deals last night.
Plus we get a 20% discount.
Sometimes people ask me if I feel guilty taking a discount at a non-profit thrift store.
Well, I don't.
I am always amazed at the generosity of the people who donate items. So many things donated are really nice and expensive (and even brand-new), and rather than Craigslist/Ebay them, people donate them. All of the money that D.I. makes goes right back into the job training program. When you donate at D.I./shop at D.I. you are helping make someone's life better... you are helping someone learn how to help themselves.
Plus you're gettin' some great deals!
Thus ends my D.I. plug.
To all two of you who read this thing.
Especially when Mike has to work really, really late.
Or I have a baby.

Buying a Home is a Part-Time Job, or More
For those of you who are embarking on a home buying purchase for the first time, you should expect that it will become like a part-time job for you. That's in addition to what you are already involved in – your work, family life, and whatever else you have going on.
Even if your time frame is somewhere in the future, there is a lot you will need to do, and learn, in order to be successful. Many new buyers are surprised at how much time it takes to house hunt, let alone learn all about the process, become knowledgeable about financing, make decisions about the kind of house you want and where you want to live, and much more.
Think I'm exaggerating? Read more about how buying a home IS a part-time job.
If I can provide more information about Carlsbad and surrounding areas, or the housing market in general, or otherwise assist you in your homes search, please contact me by phone or text at (760) 840-1360

Sheldrake's Cardboard Surfboard Cores!
Pretty cool stuff that Mike Sheldrake's up to. He's created a computer program that designs the surfboard cores out of cardboard. The CNC machine cuts the cardboard and it's all numbered and put together like a jigsaw puzzle. The trick now is to glass the board so the cloth doesn't droop between the hexagonal holes. Resin Research Epoxy has been used in the prototyping of these boards. We're stoked Mike purchases his resin and supplies from Foam E-Z. It's cool to be involved in such cutting edge technology. Check out his site for more cool information http://www.sheldrake.net/cardboards/ .

If you're a fan of modern design you know that for some reason when you tack the word "modern" onto a product you end up adding about 50% to the price. So when I was searching for a modern white crib I started to get a little concerned that I was going to have to fork over way more than I wanted to. But then through a miraculous Google search I stumbled across a place I never shop: Walmart. And I found this little lovely:
Although design is usually the most important thing to me when shopping (besides price) I knew I also had to consider whether or not the thing was doused in chemicals or covered in lead-based paint. Thankfully it's not! I was happy to see that it almost has a perfect five-star rating from people who have purchased the crib. And I also thought it was interesting to see that the Walmart version, which is $269, is the exact same as the babyletto Modo 3-in-1 Convertible Crib found at other retailers. The biggest difference was about $110 in price. They're even made by the same manufacturer. Can you tell the difference?
I am not a Walmart shopper for many reasons. Probably at the top of the list is that I just don't like being there. It feels cluttered and chaotic to me, but since I ordered the crib online I only had to spend a few minutes in the store picking it up from customer service. It was easy to put together and currently waiting patiently for the baby it will soon hold!

We are constantly told we need to change our lifestyle in order to 'Save the Planet'. But if you dig into the 'plans' to combat this dreaded menace, while there is little scientific evidence to support ANY climatologic outcomes. there is, however, quite a lot of certainty on the actual Economic effects of this massive global machine. Top IPCC Officials have unapologetically called 'Climate Change' a wealth redistribution plan. This Forbes Article lays out, in their own words, how they intend to 'deindustrialize' the West. The plan is to use 'Carbon Taxes', rules and regulations to transfer wealth from average Westerners (Read Americans) directly to the members of the Third-World Billionaire Dictators' Club- also known as the United Nations. The usual Banksters and bureaucrats will take their share, like trolls charging tolls on the slimy scam highway to Climate Change hell. While I don't 'deny' Climate change (since any idiot knows Climate has been changing for, say... the last Four Billion Years) What I AM is a skeptic- on the man-made causes of Climate Change and the curious marginalization or outright dismissal of such large factors as variations in Solar output, the orbital and tilt variations our planet experiences over long and short cycles, and such natural sources of heating and cooling here on Earth as volcanic activity and the massive amounts of methane hydrate beneath the ocean floor-
When 'educated' and powerful people proclaim that they 'believe' in climate change, know that the Anthropogenic Global Warming scammers have found a Useful Idiot to promote their cause. One can only 'believe' in a religion or a faith-based ideology. REAL Science discards beliefs, biases and preconceived conclusions. Instead, the scientific method requires a theory, an unbiased way to test it, and a conclusion either proving or disproving the theory in part or whole. The data should be open, the test easily repeatable and the any conclusions open to free debate. What is seen in the actions of the AGW cabal is rather antithesis to the scientific method. Skewed secret data, directed results, unreplicable tests, and final conclusions drawn, not by climatologists or even SCIENTISTS, but instead by politicians and technocrats. Couple that with so-called 'Peer Review' that is used in a Stalinesque manner to browbeat, silence and ruin ANY scientist who dares disagree with the orthodoxy of 'Climate Change' beliefs- or even those who merely try to point out factual errors, data inconsistencies or other basic scientific errors.
This has happened in the Scientific Community before. Ask Galileo and Copernicus. They dared challenge the 'settled science' of the time agreed on by a majority of scientists. While not being threatened with their lives, many scientist' livelihoods, careers and reputations are being steamrollered by a big-money, collectivist global redistribution scheme know (this week) as 'Climate Change'. The actions of those true 'believers' in AGW display not a whit of reason and scientific integrity, but more resemble the words and actions of a religion or cult. They refuse to engage rationally and confront facts that may contradict their beliefs, and punish 'heretics' with personal and professional attacks. Just follow the money. Find who benefits and who loses and you will find the TRUE reasons this 'Cult of Gaia' has sunk it's fangs into the neck of the American economy.

Mercy and truth have met together. Righteousness and bliss shall kiss one another.
Man, in his weakness and shortsightedness believes he must make choices in this life.
He trembles at the risks he takes. We do know fear. But no. Our choice is of no importance.
There comes a time when our eyes are opened and we come to realize that mercy is infinite.
We need only await it with confidence and receive it with gratitude.
Mercy imposes no conditions.
And lo! Everything we have chosen has been granted to us.
And everything we rejected has also been granted.
Yes, we even get back what we rejected,
For mercy and truth have met together, and righteousness and bliss shall kiss one another.
~ From Babette's Feast
Babette's Feast operates on many levels;
It's about food, and it's about how meals can bring people together.
It's about the tension and the reconciliation between earthly pleasures and divine transcendence,
simplicity and sensuality.
It's about creativity and the nature of the artist.
It's about poverty and wealth.
It's about forgiveness and finding your way.
It's about loss and regret, and is also about being a receiver of everything, and losing nothing.
It's about mourning and the healing that it brings, and also about true love and joy.
It's about being able to finally say the words you need to say, and to finally be able to give the gift you want to give.
It's about knowing who you *really* are.
It's about giving that comes right from the heart.
It's about grace coming to live in a modest and remote place, both in the physical and the spiritual sense.
It's about Christ-consciousness.
It's about time you watched this movie or read this story!

The Kaigland Chronicles
Originally Dwarven Fighter who used special Blitz rules. Then in 3.5 became a Monk/Blitzmaster (custom PrC)
Book I era:
Barton was raised in the mountains, and thus was very stealthy. Something of an outcast among Dwarves, Barton refused to grow a long beard and generally was clean shaven. He studied martial arts with the master Duncan.
Book II era:
After avenging his master, Barton joined back up with the adventurers.
Book III-IV era:
After adventuring with the party and helping to save the world from the Adaption Monster and losing his best friend Krazilin in the process, Barton went into seclusion. Swearing to never shave his beard again in Krazilin's memory, Barton became known as a wise man of the mountain, providing answers to those who would make the treacherous climb. Through his mastery of mind and body, Barton extended his lifespan far beyond that of a normal Dwarf.
Epilogue era: Barton and one of his students fell in love, despite him being hundreds of years her senior. His bachelor party was interrupted, leading to the events of the Epilogue adventure. At the end it was revealed that Krazilin had been behind everything, but the party was able to make a valiant stand against the "Godkiller" as time worked to reset itself. In the changed timeline, Krazilin never died, and attended Barton's wedding as his best man. A clean-shaven Barton then was married, and they lived happily ever after.

This dress is super great. The fit is exactly what I was expecting, it runs very true to the size chart. I bought it in black and it is exactly the same as it is in the pictures. Overall, I absolutely love this dress (the back of it being my favorite part), and would definitely recommend it.

Return From Exile
30 years later, Mansour El-Kikhia returns to Libya
Note: This interview was conducted in August 2011; therefore, several references in the present are now past tense because of the October 2011 death of Gaddafi.
"The Homecoming": Go behind the scenes as Mansour El-Kikhia returns to a liberated Libya after fighting for change from abroad for over 30 years. Watch the documentary on the ABC News Network.
On those rare occasions when Mansour
El-Kikhia happens to catch the scent of a pleasant ocean breeze, he is transported–if only for a moment–back to his youth in his beloved Benghazi, Libya.
In that instant, a flood of memories carries him to the African continent: Spending the day with family and friends at the beach and wading in the Mediterranean Sea, sharing lunches with cousins, aunts and uncles at relatives' homes for weeks at a time before having a meal at his own house again, and, of course, the very generous Libyans, whom he said will give you their lives once they befriend you.
"What really sticks in my mind is the change in the weather in the afternoon," said the 59-year-old El-Kikhia, chair of the Department of Political Science and Geography, sitting at his desk with a world map covering the entire wall behind him. "In San Antonio, the hottest time of the day is 5 o'clock in the afternoon."
"The hottest time of day in Libya is around 1 o'clock in the afternoon. And so by 5 o'clock it begins to cool down, and you go inside and the sea breeze is coming in from the Mediterranean. It's just being there that gives you a different sense of existence."
He also recalled many occasions when he would slide down the stair railing for thrills in his family's 40-room, Ottoman-style, palatial residence built in 1198. (The house has since been turned into the Bait-al Medina al-Thaqafi Museum.)
And then there was the dreadful day—one he will never forget—when he and his family left home for a two-hour shopping trip, only to return to find that another family occupied their residence with the express permission of Col. Muammar Gaddafi's government as punishment for El-Kikhia's stirring up trouble.
The 28-year-old El-Kikhia had been calling attention to injustices by visiting government offices to voice his opinion about public hangings, suspension of basic liberties and widespread poverty in an oil-rich nation.
"It was very difficult to live in a country where you could see the murder, the injustice," he said. "And you have two choices. Either speak up or shut up. And I could not shut up. I had to speak up, but the more I spoke up the more my life became endangered."
In February of this year, civil war broke out between military forces loyal to Gaddafi and the rebel opposition, many of them ordinary citizens who are fighting to the death to end the tyrannical 42-year rule of the despised colonel in hopes of a new and better life.
Upon hearing news of the dissidents' determination to kick Gaddafi out of office, El-Kikhia could not have been happier. He had yearned to set foot on Libyan soil again ever since he fled the country in 1980 seeking safety in America, leaving his entire family behind.
When pressed as to how he escaped from Libya, El-Kikhia chose not to disclose that information, and only remarked that "it's a long story."
In April, after 30 years away from home, El-Kikhia finally returned to Benghazi, where he served as an advisor to the opposition after military forces abandoned the city. Since then, his counsel has been sought by the White House, as well as by heads of foreign governments, regarding the situation in Libya. His return from exile also made national news and led to appearances on CNN News, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and Geraldo at Large.
As the fighting continues for control of the Libyan government, the professor spoke about the crisis in the North African nation, his jubilant return home, and his interest in maps.
When did you first come to America? I came to America in 1977 to go to school at the University of California, Santa Barbara to study political science. I went back in 1978 and could not leave until I escaped from Libya and came back to California in 1980.
Why wouldn't the government let you leave? Perhaps they saw me as more of a threat outside—that I would talk about what's going on. I spoke up against killings, hanging of people in the streets, which I saw happen before my very eyes. Once you go through this and see this, you cannot live in a society that is governed by such crazy people.
Where did you work when you went back to Libya? I couldn't find a job. I was blacklisted as an enemy of the people.
What was it like to go home after all these years? You have no idea what it was like. It was like "Alice in Wonderland." I can't explain to you the sensation of seeing people you haven't seen in 30 years. The funny thing is that it hurts. It hurts very much because you have an image in your mind, and suddenly that image is thrown away and another image appears. Sometimes, the second image is not something you want to see. It really does something to you about your sense of right and wrong, but then it [makes you realize] that you must devote your life to making people's lives better.
Were you able to communicate with your family during those 30 years in exile? Only by phone. They were [being watched]. My family members cannot leave the country. If one family member leaves, another one is held by the secret service until that person comes back.
What did your father do when you were growing up? My father was the pasha (high-ranking official) of Cyrenaica (a coastal region of Libya) and advisor to the prince and first prime minister. He was also head of the Libyan Senate. My mom was a homemaker.
Do you see yourself having a role in forming a new government or holding office? Yes. I do see myself playing an important role in the new constitutional government. I see myself as doing both. Indeed, I'm already doing the first and will get to the second when Libya is free of Gaddafi.
Can you give me an overview of what the real problem is in Libya? It's really very simple. [Gaddafi] needs to go. He's been in power for 42 years [and has been] abusing Libya's finances and people and land and water for the last 42 years. And it's about time the Libyan people said no. No more, we've had enough of this nonsense. We don't want you anymore. We want you out of our country and out of our lives. We want stability. And they have to fight. Ultimately, the people said there is no choice for us over here. It's either winning or death. There's no in-between.
Why do you believe Gaddafi refuses to let go of power? Do you think he's mentally disturbed? He's been [mentally disturbed] for many years. And he has seven sons who are even worse than he is.
What do you think the freedom fighters need from the U.S.? First of all,
recognition … Most countries of the world have recognized them as the legitimate authority in Libya except for America. America needs to recognize them.
What do you see in the future of your country once Gaddafi leaves? Anything is possible. After experiencing Gaddafi, I don't think anything can be worse.
What do you think is going to happen to Gaddafi? I hope death. I have no sympathy for people who destroyed the aspirations and dreams of so many people.
Would you say he stole your dreams? He stole more than 40 years of my life. In the end, I am grateful to the United States for giving me the opportunity to become an American and live here and learn from it … and I learned what freedom actually means, and how it's important to set up a system that guarantees freedoms and rights of people of all types and shapes and colors. But, ultimately, Libya can make much more use of my talent. In the United States, I'm one in a million. In Libya, I'm one in 25.
I was reading an article in which you describe Libya as a child. Can you elaborate on that? It's a new birth for the country. It's like being reborn and we have to learn how to do things right, how to build, how to think, how to do things for ourselves. But, most importantly, we have to learn how to respect ourselves.
I've noticed that you like maps. Tell me about that. Besides reminding me of our limitation, they provide me with the urge to learn about humanity, let alone travel. Thanks to maps, I have been to more than 60 countries across the globe. This might sound a little mushy, but maps are like a delicious meal with so many different plates. I want to experience all the plates and parts of the world. They're like a huge feast and just tasting the different plates is wonderful. Maps remind me of the whole and that we're all interconnected.

Sept. 17, 1984: Reggie hits No. 500
Aug. 4, 1985: Carew collects No. 3,000
June 18, 1986: Sutton wins No. 300
For three consecutive seasons, one each year, Angels fans were treated to a player reaching a Hall of Fame milestone while wearing an Angels uniform. More impressively, each accomplished the feat at Anaheim Stadium.
First up was Reggie Jackson. The self-proclaimed "straw that stirs the drink" arrived in Anaheim two years earlier, signing as a free agent and bringing with him 425 home runs in 14 previous seasons.
Jackson immediately delivered to his billing, whopping 39 home runs in 1982 and helping the Angels clinch their second division title. Jackson slumped badly in 1983, batting .194 and hitting only 14 home runs. But he was now just 22 home runs shy of 500.
In the waning days of the 1984 season, with the Angels in a pennant chase with the Twins and Royals, Jackson's pursuit of No. 500 gave the season some additional drama. In the seventh inning of a foggy Monday night game against the Royals, with the Angels trailing, 7-0, Jackson connected, driving Bud Black's first pitch deep over the right field fence. (It was one of only three hits Black would allow the Angels on the night.)
"My first thought was, 'That's it,' " Jackson told reporters after the game. "My second was, I wish we could be winning. I wished it could've been a seven-run homer to tie the score."
The home run came 17 years to the day that Jackson hit his first homer, as a member of the Kansas City Athletics against the Angels at Anaheim Stadium in 1967.
Jackson would hit 123 of his 563 career homers for the Angels, none more memorable than this one.
The following August, Rod Carew was also chasing baseball immorality. A seven-time batting champion in 12 seasons with the Twins, Carew came to the Angels in 1979 with 2,085 hits.
Though he was never a great run producer for the Angels as he had been with the Twins, Carew could still bat .300 in his sleep and his .339 average in 1983 was a team record that held up for 17 years.
As the 1985 season, and his career, wound down, Carew landed himself in the exclusive 3,000-hit club. With his patented slap swing, Carew lined No. 3,000 to left field off Minnesota Twins lefty Frank Viola. Most Angels fans can vividly recall the image of Carew reaching up to secure his helmet as he trotted to first base under a bright Sunday afternoon sky.
"He threw me a tough pitch (a slider down and away)," Carew said. "If I hadn't stayed with that pitch and taken it, I would have been called out on a third strike. Fortunately, I was able to get the bat on the ball and place it in left field."
Carew retired following the 1985 season with 3,053 hits. His .314 average with the Angels is second only to Vladimir Guerrero's .327.
And finally, Don Sutton, in the midst of his 21st Major League season, was closing in on his own place in baseball history.
Acquired during the Angels ultimately fruitless stretch run in 1985, Sutton came to Anaheim having already won 293 games. He won two more in 1985 and entered the 1986 season five shy of the milestone.
On a Wednesday night against the visiting Texas Rangers, sitting on 299 victories, Sutton pitched like a man half his age. Through six innings, he'd allowed only one hit and carried a three-hitter (one run) into the ninth.
More than 37,000 fans climbed to their feet as Sutton took the mound for the ninth inning. He quickly retired Scott Fletcher and Oddibe McDowell on flyouts. In a fitting finale, Sutton struck out Gary Ward to end it. Sutton had pitched a complete game, three-hitter to win his 300th game.
"It's remarkable how time after time it's been proven how special people do special things," manager Gene Mauch said. "I imagine that Don is proud that No. 300 was this kind of game rather than just another win."
Sutton won 15 games in 1986 and 11 in 1987 before finishing his career back with the Dodgers in 1988, retiring with 324 victories.
Carew was inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame in 1991, his first year of eligibility. Jackson was enshrined in 1993, also his first eligible year, and Sutton in 1998. And though none of these players went in representing the Angels, their milestone moments will forever be part of Angels lore.
