HEBRON ESTATES - Looking to gain some momentum heading into the post-season play, the North Bullitt Eagles continues to make strides.
With a short week due to Derby fund-raisers, North Bullitt took the field only twice - splitting those games.
On Tuesday, North Bullitt hosted a LaRue County team that has been ranked in the state's top 25 poll for much of the season.
Despite a six-run sixth inning, North Bullitt fell 9-7.

The World's Biggest Oil Reserves.
This month Iraq will finalize contracts with the likes of ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell and BP to develop some of its biggest oil fields. These giants are among the world's last remaining pockets of so-called "easy oil." They don't require ultradeep drilling or innovative production techniques, just the application of Big Oil know-how. No wonder the oil companies agreed to develop Iraq's fields without even getting an ownership stake in the fields and collecting as little as $1.15 per barrel recovered.
Given the size of Iraq's undeveloped giants there are no technical reasons why within 10 years the country can't supplant both Iran and Russia to become the world's No. 2 oil producer after Saudi Arabia. No wonder Iraq holds three of the top 10 fields of the future.
The world gets its daily ration of 85 million barrels of oil from more than 4,000 fields. Most of these are small, less than 20,000 barrels per day. Giants, producing more than 100,000 bpd, account for just 3%. Then there's the megafields that gush out 1 million bpd. These are the most important sources of energy in the world--fields worth fighting over. In figuring the top 10 fields of the future, we're not interested in most of the giants of yesteryear, and not necessarily even the giants of today. Just the giants of tomorrow--those fields that might not even be producing yet, but will likely be doing better than 1 million bpd a decade from now.
The once and future king of the world's oil fields, Ghawar, in Saudi Arabia, ranks first on our list. It is thought to have had more than 100 billion barrels of recoverable oil in place. At 160 miles long and 16 miles wide it confounds even the most experienced geologists. With something on the order of 60 billion produced over the past 60 years, you'd be excused for thinking that Ghawar was sliding into its twilight years. Yet the Saudis insist that Ghawar is still going strong, producing 4.5 million bpd from six main producing areas with the ability to do 5 million bpd if called upon.
The secret to Ghawar's longevity is water injection. Starting in the 1960s Saudi Aramco began injecting water underneath the oil around the outer borders of the field. Today the water flood is up to millions of barrels a day, with the oil floating up to the top of the reservoir on sea of water. In conversations with Forbes in 2008 Aramco executives insisted that by continuing to treat Ghawar with kid gloves they'll be able to coax 4 million bpd out of her for many years to come.
Coming in second is West Qurna, in Iraq, home to an expected 21 billion barrels of oil. This month a joint venture between ExxonMobil and Royal Dutch Shell was awarded the contract to develop the 9 billion barrel first phase of the West Qurna oil field. They will aim to raise output from 300,000 bpd to 2.3 million bpd. It's tough to make the case that the two biggest oil companies from the countries that invaded Iraq in 2003 are getting a sweetheart deal. The contract calls for the government of Iraq to retain ownership of the field and the oil. Exxon and Shell, as contractors, are to be paid just $1.90 for each a barrel they produce.
Third is Majnoon, also in Iraq. At 13 billion barrels, these massive reserves are in a relatively small area near the Euphrates River in southern Iraq. The field's abundance was so mind-boggling that it was named Majnoon, Arabic for "crazy." This easy oil hasn't been developed in part because of its location so close to the Iranian border. In the 1980s, during the Iran-Iraq war, managers reportedly buried the wells, concerned that they might be targeted by Iranian forces. The field produces just 50,000 bpd now, but has the potential to do 1.8 million bpd.
The Rumaila field in Iraq, with 17 billion barrels, is the fourth-largest field. In November, British giant BP and China National Petroleum Corp. won the first oil contract of the post-Saddam era to redevelop Rumaila. Located on the border with Kuwait, the field is already producing 1 million bpd, half of Iraq's total production. The partners intend to spend some $15 billion to treble that to 2.85 million bpd. That output would be enough to put Rumaila in second place worldwide after Saudi Arabia's Ghawar.
So what won't you see on this list? Mexico's Cantarell is nowhere to be seen. It used to be the second-biggest producer in the world, giving more than 2 million bpd; it's now in terminal decline, slipping below 400,000 bpd. Likewise Russia's Samotlor. It was the monster field of the Soviet Union, with production peaking at 3.5 million bpd in the 1970s. Today it's doing more like 350,000 bpd. No respect for China's biggest field Daging either; it still produces roughly 800,000 bpd but is in serious decline.
As for Canada's heralded oil sands region--sure it's a massive resource, but easy oil it ain't. Oil sands require monstrous amounts of water and natural gas to recover and process. A barrel of oil sands oil costs roughly 20 times more to produce than one from Iraq. And environmentalists think it's dirty.
Lots of oil provinces didn't quite make the cut. West Africa could see the biggest growth of all across Nigeria, Angola and Ghana--but so far no individual fields look big enough on their own. Same for Siberia, which has most of Russia's production, but from mature fields.
Saudi Arabia could have been better represented. Its 750,000 bpd Shaybah field was a runner-up. Iraq too. The government didn't receive any bids to redevelop the 8 billion barrel East Baghdad field because much of it lies under residential neighborhoods. And Kirkuk, in northern Iraq, has something like 8 billion barrels remaining, but it was damaged by overproduction in the latter years of Saddam's rule and won't likely regain its peak of 700,000 bpd. But it could.

Da Long Wayz Dezert Groop took on Kushial's Hello kitties of Harlech this past weekend. I took some pics, but for a more in depth battle report click on the link above. Things started out badly when I realized I'd forgotten my killa kans and my warboss!!!
What. The. Fuck.
A squad of Kommandos filled in for the kans and Blum, a mere nob filled in for Da Masta Cheef himself.
1500 points, Big Gunz Never Tire w/5 objectives. Tau deployment, Beakies went first with no night fight (which we later forgot about)...
|Turn one sees 2 of the 3 landraiders trying to flank my line.
|Da Ork Ay-jis wiv LOTS of gunz!!! (and an objective)
|30 Ard Boys still melted in the face of overwhelming firepower...
|Da Matilda's adversary. These two would go several rounds and do little to one another in the process...
|And here's where the 'Deathstars collide.' Da Beakies' Kommanda and his decked out kommand squad charges the Nobz mob launching an epic multi-turn brawl! Beside them you can see the much diminished ard boys unit.
|His ard boys wiped out, Blum and his attack squig charge the closest landraider...
|It go BOOM!
|Meanwhile the beakies charged the battlewagon, and their krak grenades amounted to just 2 glancing hits, lolz!
|Eventually they would take down the battlewagon. No matter as the nobz wiped out the Beakie kommanda and hiz kommand boyz (and still held an objective).
|At games' end, we tallied up VP's and da Beakies had 2 more than da boyz. Still, it was a good game so all was well.

I am thinking...how very blessed I am.
I am grateful...for the modern convenience of air conditioning. I KNOW I wouldn't want to live w/o it!
I am wondering...why a moth would want to rest in the potty! There's nothing like having a MOTH fly out of the potty when you flush! Sure can make a person move pretty darn fast!
From the kitchen...Boca Burger on WW bread w/garden fresh, organic tomatoes & lettuce. And watermelon for dessert.
I LOVE Boca Burgers & could go to my grave w/o ever eating another beef burger . . . unless, of course, it was OUR beef. But those days are over.
I am going...to sort some more photos & work on my "library of memories".
I am wearing...khaki skort, red t-shirt & walking shoes.

I read his book about grief, "A Grace Disguised", & was so very, very blessed by it, I decided to read this one about the will of God. There's lots of books out there about that . . . but decided since Sittser was so right-on about grief, I'd try his take on find the will of God.
I am hoping...to be married for another 40 years! Hubby & I celebrated our 40th on August 2 . . . . youngest son wished us another 40 & that got me to thinking - we'd "only" be 100 years old! It's possible - although very unlikely!

About Today's Photo . . . . . ."He Brings Me Flowers"
by helping in our flower gardens. He helps put in the beds, helps w/the composting, weeding & mulching. He keeps me in flowers almost year-round.

More mail for Pino
It's always so heartwarming to get these little surprises in the post! Last weekend, as Martyn and I sat down by the fire for our evening glass of wine, I asked if there had been any mail. "None for us, but Pino got a package." Such it is when one lives with Pino Blangiforti.
Sugar cubes and the most adorable, tiny, hand made felted pie! I was so charmed anyone would do this. And everyone knows how I love felt and have wanted to do some of my own felt dolls - someday. I'm thrilled this artist lives in Oregon and plans to come to Pino Pie Day, in fact she might be making some more felt animal creations which I will sell on Pino Pie Day. Stay posted - but for now you can visit a sampling at her new Etsy store.
Thank you Deborah! Pino is even sweeter now with his sugar cubes.

The Second Empress
Author: Michelle Moran
Genre: Historical Fiction (France)
Type: Kindle Advanced Reading Copy (ARC)
Publication Date: August 14, 2012
First Line: "Cairo, July 25, 1798 -- You will see in the newspapers the result of our battles and the conquest of Egypt, where we found resistance enough to add a leaf to the laurels of this army."
Synopsis: The terror of the French Revolution is still fresh in the minds and hearts of France when Napoleon is at his peak of power in the late 1800's. A ruthless and powerful ruler Napoleon is feared by many but there is one thing that Napoleon still needs. An heir.
After Josephine's downfall Napoleon is focused more than ever on having a legitimate heir for his empire. He casts aside Josephine and sets his sights on eighteen year old Maria-Lucia, the daughter of the Austrian king and the great-niece of the infamous Marie Antoinette. Maria-Lucia has lived a quiet, idyllic life with her family. She is well educated and spends her time painting and looking forward to marrying than man she loves.
She is therefore shocked when Napoleon 'honours' her by requesting her hand in marriage. Maria-Lucia has a wonderful life in Austria but to ensure her family and country's safety in these tumultuous times she decides to do her duty and marry the ruthless, power hungry leader.
When she arrives in France, Marie-Louise (as she is now called) is shocked at the decadence of the French court and the rancorous personality of her new husband. Despite her fears she is adamant that she will be a good wife despite her husband's flamboyant and ruthless reputation.
She quickly learns that she has enemies in the French court, namely the women who dominate her new husband's life - his former wife and true love, Josephine and Napoleon's sisters Caroline and Pauline. Pauline has a very peculiar relationship with her brother and is fiercely loyal to him. She has always pictured ruling Egypt alongside her powerful brother just as the ancient pharaohs once did and doesn't take kindly to Marie-Louise's interruption in her plans.
As Napoleon's need for power reasserts itself war is on the horizon again and this time it threatens Marie-Louise's homeland and family. She decides to use the power that she has been given and takes matters into her own hands to ensure the safety of those she loves.
My Thoughts: I know I've said it before but Michelle Moran continues to be one of my favourite historical fiction authors. So it should come as no surprise that I was more than thrilled (I 'may' have done a happy dance) when I was given an ARC to review for this upcoming book.
Although "The Second Empress" feels a little lighter in detail and length than her previous works I had no trouble delving into the lives of this very famous and highly dysfunctional family. Once again Ms Moran provides her readers with a riveting fact-based historical read that was hard to put down.
Although this is a historical read it is not weighted down with too much detail and tended to be very character driven. The main character, Marie-Louise is a dignified, brave and sympathetic main character who you can't help but like. Here's this young girl who has her life planned out and is looking forward to a quiet life with the man she loves. Suddenly this infamous tyrant comes into her life who basically only wants to rent out her uterus. Their wedding is done by proxy (ahhh, l'amour) and Mary-Louise's life is thrown off course.
Marie-Louise is a total contrast to the conniving Pauline Bonaparte who would give everything (yes, everything) she has to be in Marie-Louise's shoes. She is a vile woman whose obsession with her own brother and increasing the Bonaparte family's power knows no end.
Napoleon is portrayed as I've always pictured him - a power hungry, egotistical and temperamental {little} man who is out to prove himself. He's prone to embarrassing the women in his life, he's difficult to please and with his mercurial disposition no one knows what he'll do next. Yet, Moran delves even further into his personality quirks giving me a much better picture of him as a person. Yes, he's all those things that I just described but you also see a more human/weak side to him as well.
Here's a guy who is hopelessly in love with Josephine yet cannot be with her if he wants an heir. We also get a glimpse of his fear and weakness which intrigued me. He's a ruthless military dynamo who is not as brave as you'd think and is so in fear of those around him not being true to him. He NEEDED to be the foremost thought in his family and followers' lives -- even Josephine whom he cast off. He is this powerful man who is so obsessed and overly attached to the main women in his life that it's almost sad. I was almost to the point of having the teensiest bit of sympathy for the wee man. Almost.
While I realize that this book focuses more in the relationships of the Bonaparte family I would have loved to see more of his strategic military thinking and to see how and why so many people followed Napoleon. What was his true motivation for conquering everything in his path? How did he become so twisted and power hungry?
There are many characters in this book but the reader is told the story using the points of view of three people -- Marie-Louise, Pauline Bonaparte and Pauline's Haitian chamberlain, Paul. I think that giving the story three viewpoints helped me better understand the storyline but unfortunately I didn't feel like I got to know Pauline or Marie-Louise as well as I would have hoped. Paul gave an interesting point of view especially since he's torn between his love for Pauline and his growing compassion for Marie-Louise but I never really took to him. I had a hard time believing that power hungry Napoleon took the time to ask the advice of a 'lowly' servant. Plus, I don't think it helped that I just never saw what he saw in Pauline.
Overall, this was a fairly quick, yet engaging character-driven read that kept me interested the entire way through the craziness that is the Bonaparte family. As someone who knew little of Napoleon I found it easy to follow along (and learn a bit in the process) with the general storyline. While it is a shorter book than I'm used to from this author it did give me a good insight into that era.
If you haven't picked up a book by Ms Moran before I highly recommend "Nefertiti". Also, as a little background French Revolution history lesson I'd suggest reading "Madame Tussaud" by this author. It's not necessary but that era is referred to in this story so having that information in the back of my mind helped me understand the terror that influenced France's history.
My Rating: 4/5 stars
Note: My sincere thanks to Michelle Moran and Crown Publishing Group for providing me with this Advanced Reading Copy for my honest review.

Forgive me while I gush a bit. I just love him. Of course his art, but there's always been something about those incredibly soulful (slightly devious) eyes, that captivated me almost as much as his influential Blue Period. Oh, just stop me now. I could go on and on...
So, when our recent trip to New York led us to a free afternoon with nothing to do, the decision to spend it at the Met, was indeed the right one. It was like the curator spent the past thirty-something years, dreaming up a way to make me happy.
In addition to my unearthly obsession with Señor Picasso, (as if that weren't enough) the second exhibit was a trip through time, honoring women, in all our glory ~ through FASHION. Yep, heaven.
American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity was the most breathtaking display of how we have spent the past fifty years inventing, reinventing and expressing ourselves (politically, socially, sexually) through what we wear.
My jaw was literally on the ground the entire time. I felt proud, and feminine and special to be a part of this esteemed gender. How, ladies, can we walk out the door every day and NOT care to express ourselves this way? And the bohemian and flapper periods were so spectacularly gorgeous, that dare I say, I'd wear EVERY SINGLE PIECE today. (Sigh)
I left with passions renewed and a deeper sense of why I love being a woman. The above photo that guided me into becoming a writer, and the snapshot I took of this unknown artist... contemplating his own creations, who unintentionally inspired me.
I am in awe.

Hints and tips to get the most out of your air mileage
Still dreaming about that post-retirement, first-class jaunt around the world on an award ticket? Wake up and check your airline account! Your hard-earned miles may vanish before you have the chance to redeem them for that coveted seat in the front cabin.
United Airlines, the world's largest trans-Pacific airline, has just restricted the validity of its frequent flier miles. From the end of 2007, members of UA's Mileage Plus program will lose all their miles after 18 months of inactivity (down from 36 months). If you haven't used United or its mileage program partners since July 1, 2006, you'll kiss your miles zaijian at the end of this year. So much for the friendly skies. Other major U.S. airlines, Delta and US Airways among them, have made similar moves. Watch out if you still have miles with these airlines.
Fortunately, even if you have just quit that high-flying job, you can still breathe new life into your old United (or most international airlines') miles quite easily. Redeeming a free ticket for Mom, staying at a partner hotel for a weekend getaway, charging an airline-affiliated credit card on groceries, or even ordering some flowers online for your long-distance sweetheart through one of the partner e-retailers – any one of these activities will extend the validity of your miles for another 18 months. So check your airline's website for a complete list of mileage-earning opportunities.
But if you do have the money and/or reason to fly, there will soon be another nonstop option from Beijing to the US East Coast. After beating out rivals and winning the right to launch a new US-China route, United has linked the Chinese and U.S. capitals for the first time with a daily Beijing-Washington flight on a Boeing 747 – and they're offering up to 10,000 bonus miles per roundtrip to boot. Log on to UA's website for details on the promotion.
Now, for most sane people, it would be a no-brainer to choose a nonstop flight over connecting flights – but not when you're a mileage guru. Did you realize that by flying Beijing to Washington via San Francisco instead of nonstop, you'll earn 1,400 extra miles one-way? That's 2,800 additional miles roundtrip – or 20 percent more! Not too bad; and you can offset journey grumbles by stocking up on some See's Candies at the San Francisco airport. Steven Jiang

More likely than this, you just haven't seen the videos. The media has done its best to play them down. The people I know who still support Planned Parenthood are aware they exist, but describe them as 'those doctored videos that tried to show Planned Parenthood was guilty of a crime, which has been debunked.'
The proof that these guys haven't even watched the videos is contained in the headline of that last link, which reads, "Investigations turn up no Planned Parenthood wrongdoing." If you have seen the videos, you know that what is debatable is whether there has been any lawbreaking. "Wrongdoing" is indisputable. That the law supports these practices is a huge part of the problem to be solved.

Callum & Harper
By: Fisher Amelie
Genre: YA
Format: Kindle
Cover Rating: 5/5 Stars
From Goodreads: Life sucks for orphans Callum Tate and Harper Bailey.
out of their foster homes because they suffer the 'eighteen disease'
with nothing but a hundred dollar check from the government and a pat on
the back, they're forced to rely on a system that failed them
So they sit. They sit inside Social Services, waiting
for their social workers to call their names and offer them the miracle
they know will never come but they sit anyway because they have nowhere
else to go, no other options on their very literal and figurative empty
But as they sit, they notice the other. Although
captivated, they each come to the conclusion that life is complicated
enough without throwing in a boiling tension that can't ever be acted
upon because they're both too busy thinking about where their next meal
will come from but when their names are called and both are placed on a
year long waiting list for permanent housing, suddenly relying on each
other seems like a very viable plan B.
And, oh, how lovely Plan B's can be.
except for the psycho from Harper's past that haunts her and, oh, yeah,
there's the little issue that neither of them knows they're in love
with the other.
My Thoughts:
Okay, I have yet to post a "bad" review on my blog, but there's a first for everything.
I REALLY wanted to like this
book. I found it and was so excited by the description and the cover.
But once I attempted to read it, I discovered it wasn't for me at all. I
couldn't even finish it. The characters of Callum and Harper were good
in theory, but fell flat on the page. They were cliche and like some
other reviewers said, Callum came off as girlish. I was unable to
connect to them emotionally, which I found odd because the story should
have been filled with emotion since the two kids are basically homeless.
It felt sugar-coated. Granted, I did only read 16% of the book, but
being thrown out on the streets should leave you pretty freaked out.
Even their "relationship" was plastic to me. There was no depth, just
"Oh, she's pretty." It was "love at first sight". I mean, as the story
goes on I'm sure they got to know one another better, but their
foundation was ridiculous for me.
However, I could have finished
the book with all that. I may would have even rated it 3 stars. But what
really made me unable to endure it was the writing. The author switches
between past/ present constantly, jarring me from the pages of the
story and yanking me right out of the world.
All in all, the idea
of this book is pretty awesome, but it's been poorly executed. I think
that if the author went back and edited some things it could be a 5 star
book. It needs more emotion and for the love of all that is holy, for
her to pick a tense and stick with it.
