Fairmount: Beabasque wires
Six-year-old Beabasque, trained by Steve Manley, galloped to a five-length, wire-to-wire upset over favored Ask the Lord in the $50,000 Circle C Classic at Fairmount Park. Beabasque covered the 1 1/8 miles in 1:51 and paid $5.40 to win over a fast track. Little More was third, with He's Souper last in the field of four.
Tepexpan ($21.80) was the longest shot to prevail in one of the night's four features, going wire to wire to upset the $45,000 King Knocker. Chicago-based Meadow Bride shipped in for a one-length victory in the $40,000 Kabbendjian Stakes for 3-year-old fillies, while Bubba Gum won the $30,000 Donada Farm Handicap.

You've certainly got enough power!
But much depends on what you're trying to edit. For miniDV or HDV, you're all set. For AVCHD, you should also have no problems.
The problems comes in when people try to edit non-standard video, like video from still cameras or Flip camcorders, or use photos larger than 1000x750 pixels in their projects.
You also don't mention your operating system. XP and, from all reports, Windows 7 should fly with this program with your hardware. Vista should be fully updated and could use a bit of tweaking so that you're not leaking resources on unnecessary tasks.
And this will enhance RAM usage with Vista (also from the FAQs to the right of this forum).
There are also a couple of background features Premiere Elements 8 adds that, if you're having problems, might be worth shutting off.
You don't say if you're asking about problems rhetorically or if you're having real problems running the program. But the point is that there are any number of factors that can affect your performance.

Thank you Steve,
My OS is Windows Vista.
My video camera is Sony HDRXR500V that records in Full HD 1080i with aspect 16:9 in dolby 5.1ch.
I import videos to the PC from the camera by connecting the two by USB and simply copying all AVCHD video files into a new directory on the PC.
When I start a new project in Premiere 8.0 I chose preset AVCHD/FullHD 1080i 30 5.1 channel
I import the files to Premiere through Get Media - "PC files and folders". I highlight all of the files in the folder for the project (about 150 video files 5-15sec each) and drop them into sceneline. When I add the very first transition and try to playback the result in the monitor view, the video is jerky, stutters, and even pixilates. My monitor is HD enableded 22" LCD , connected to the video card by HDMI cable.
One thing to note is that I continuously see "rendering process" in the bottom right corner during my playback.
3. Re: Adobe Premiere 8.0 - jerky playbackSteve Grisetti Oct 7, 2009 11:55 AM (in response to premiere-newbee)
On the timeline above your video, you probably see a red line. This is an indication that the program needs to render your video files before it can play them back at full quality. This is why the program is trying to render them for you.
The best thing to do would be to wait for the program to finish the rendering or press Enter and render it yourself. (The red line will turn green when it's done.)
If that background rendering function gets too annoying, you can turn it off by unchecking the option under Edit/Preferences. But I still recommend you render manually as you work. Otherwise the program will play a "soft render" which is usually of lower resolution.
Have you followed up on the other links I posted? They will be helpful.
Unfortunately, the forum ate the one link that explained how to turn off background rendering, so I'll have to repair that one soon.
Meantime, when you go to Edit/Preferences to turn off background rendering, also set Timeline Scrolling to Page Scroll. Smooth Scrolling moves the timeline continually as you play your video, which also wastes resources.

6. Re: Adobe Premiere 8.0 - jerky playbackpremiere-newbee Oct 8, 2009 8:36 AM (in response to premiere-newbee)
I tried all your suggested tips without a step to improvement. Besides, should I be really worried abt freeing up some memory to let PE breathe better? I felt I had enough memory (6Gb) to generously run all my applications. I do not want to kill my Side-bar, I love it. Besides, it only takes 24Mb of Ram comparing to 250Mb for PE Analyzer.
It has been now 8 days since I have been unsuccessfully trying to burn a simple project. I am two projects behind now. I am starting to hate PE 8.0 with its annoyance of rendering and being extremely slow. I tried turning off the analyzer and rendering and now cannot start PE at all. It freezes during the project opening.
Before that happened, I did manage to try to play around making a 15sec movie made of three AVCHD video files and 2 simple transitions. I did not want to waste a BD disc so I chose to export the file to a PC so I could play the result on my HD TV using a memory stick. The best quality available was "Playback on PC or DVD burning" at only 720x480 frame size? Am I wrong? W-T-Hell?!?! What happened to 1920×1080 frame size for HD movies? Anyway, I exported the file, and… picture quality was simply @#@$%#%hIT.
I do not know how else I can describe my utter frustration and disappointment for the wasted money and more importantly time, trying to figure out this new soft which is apparently full of bugs. Obviously I cannot just sit around and wait for the soft to start magically working on me. I was even thinking abt re-installing the soft but not sure if I could afford 20mins installation time, my patience as at its critical limit. For now my virdict is that Adobe Premiere Elements sucks!!!!!

I definitely recommend you make Adobe aware of your feelings. You can contact them by clicking the Contact button at the very top of this web page.
Sorry for your frustrations.
8. Re: Adobe Premiere 8.0 - jerky playbackpremiere-newbee Oct 14, 2009 1:53 PM (in response to premiere-newbee)
I would like to share some recent progress and new problems with PE8.
Firstly, I made a new short-cut for PE and run PE.EXE i/o PE 8.0. EXE. This saves the time on avoiding the Welcome menu. Thanks for the tip.
Secondly I turned off rendering....
Two nights ago I decided to import all my videos (total length is about 60mins) into the library. I noticed that after I tried to highlight all the clips and drag them into PE timeline, my PE seemed to have frozen. I/O restarting the computer I let it be. I came back the folowing night, all my files were in the timeline ready for effects and transitions. I suppose it just takes PE some time to "process" the imported videos?
Anyways, I tried to playback some clips in the monitor and the video was jerky. I ignored that fact and tried to add a dozen of random transitions here and there. It was very hard to fine tune the transitions because of the jerky playback. OK, I then went to SHARE and export to PC. I exported to a file in HD preset: 1080i, 30fps, etc. I left my computer along again and returned the following morning. The export was successful; took approx 2.5hrs.
A new file was created on my desktop with extension .m2t. No associated software was assigned to playback this new file so I went to "Open With" and chose Windows Media Player. I think I have a 9 or a 10 ver. It played well, the sound was good, video was sharp (no jerkiness), transitions sucked as they were not fine tuned due to the reasons explained above. The .m2t file was measured at 4.7Gb. I brought a 8Gb CFlash card from my SLR and connected it to the PC via USB. When I tried to copy that .m2t file and paste it to my card, which had almost double the required space, I received a prompt saying the file was too large to copy.
I then tried to copy that file to my HDD sony camera, with 120Gb of available space - the same result. The error is - the file is too large to copy. What the heck? How can I test this file for a playback on my TV if I cannot copy it to any external storage device.
p.s. I am trying to find my most favorite transitions: "No Effect", "Cross Fade". I do not seem to find the two from the list.
9. Re: Adobe Premiere 8.0 - jerky playbackVDOSurfer Nov 10, 2009 4:57 AM (in response to premiere-newbee)
Here's what I understand..
1. HD plays back jittery in timeline
2. File size issue (weird one!)
3. Missing transitions..
Here's what I propose..
1. HD "will" play back jittery in timeline, if the file does not match the project settings in its properties. To get the file to playback properly on the timeline, we have to get it to "match" the project settings. That is exactly what rendering does. This time around, in PE8, they introduced Background rendering so that this matching-thing happens in the background; just to ensure that it happens and it does not interfere.. They didn't do too well with the interfere part I agree though. You also mentioned that after exporting it, you were able to play it back with WMP fine. That means rendering DID solve the first problem, or the problem as I see it.
2. This is tricky. I can only suggest you do a file system scan for this. There could be loose ends on a file within a cluster that makes the OS "think" that the file is bigger than it actually is. A "thorough" file system scan could help. I would be really interested in knowing what happens after this scan.
3. Cross fade is not a transition in PE7 or PE8. Did you mean cross dissolve? That exists.. Or if it is an online transition (the ones where you'd have to register before using them), they could've just replaced with something that they think is better.
Hope something helps.

Weird. Try copying it to another folder on your PC and see what happens. You could also check that the file is not locked by using the excellent tool 'Unlocker'.

The file size seems about right, as the OP started with 60 mins. of footage and cut it down from there. Then, MPEG compression was used on the < 60" footage. I would go to Windows Explorer, and Rt-click on this file, choosing Properties, and see what is said about the file there. The fact that it's HD dimensions would also be about right, as SD material would be < 3GB for that approximate Duration, even at a high bit-rate. What bit-rate was used to Export this file?
As for Copying, Windows Indexing can "lock" a file, and one of 4.7GB could stay locked for a long time, as that program searches it for keywords, etc. I turn Windows Indexing OFF for all of my HDD's, to keep it from locking any files, while it works. Afterall, it cannot get any useful info from an AV file, though it tries. Usually, one can Copy, just not Move, Delete, etc., a file that is being indexed by Windows, and there is almost always an error message to the effect that "the requested process cannot be completed, because the file is in use by another application," or similar.
Good luck,

Today marks Jairus' two week birthday.
Yes, I am that mom who counts the weeks old of her firstborn, tearfully preparing for the day when he says "I'm not a baby, I'm a big boy." Maybe this will go on forever, maybe it won't, but humor me for now.
Two weeks ago Jairus was born.
That means he is two weeks older.
And two weeks bigger.
A tear.
This week was pretty exciting. Not only did Jairus get to meet his uncles, but his jaundice episode finally saw its end (thank you Lord). He and Jordan went on their first father son trip to Target, he also visited Starbucks, attended his first church service and met his pediatrician.
He is a well traveled newborn.
His eyes are open more often and his old man peach fuzz head is beginning to look a little more hairy.
A Tear.
Jordan has taken the role as Jairus' official fashion consultant and chooses what onesie he will sport each day. Tonight I overheard him tell Jairus a joke while he was getting him dressed: "Hey Jairus, where did the king keep his armies…? IN HIS SLEEVES…hehehehe…"
That joke reminds me of Papa Bush.
I thought it was a good one.
He also gained 10 ounces.
Another tear.
My mom used to tell me that when we were younger she would sneak into our rooms at night and SQUEEZE us so that we wouldn't grow any bigger.
I used to think she was weird but now I totally understand and will probably implement such a strategy pretty soon.

Representatives of EU member states, the European Parliament and the European Commission met last night to hammer out an agreement on new legislation that enables, but does not require, manufacturers to make changes to lorry cabs that improve visibility and reduce the impact of crashes on other vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. The final agreement, which is still subject to agreement by member state representatives at a meeting on Friday and a vote by the European Parliament, effectively delays the optional changes until 2022.
According to ETSC data, around 4300 people died in collisions involving lorries in 2011. Because of their size and weight, crashes can be catastrophic with a much higher risk of death or serious injury.
New research by TRL estimates that up to 900 lives could be saved annually as a result of the proposed measures.

Eightish on a Rainy Evening
I went downtown last night for Barbara Gardiño's opening at the Museo del Pueblo. The bus took a detour through the set of tunnels that come out near Dos Rios but I was able to get off just above the Alameda. Walking down toward the Baratillo I realized once again how pleasant it is to be on a less jazzy street than usual when many Guanajuatenses are strolling or doing errands. By the time I reached the museum, I was already relaxed and ready to look at Barbara's prints and chat with several friends. Then I headed out the door where to my surprise it was raining. Just a drizzle (here called llovizna, softer than lluvia . People were still out strolling in their regular clothes, no worries, in the warm evening.

I'm excited for our new series at Grace tomorrow called Daughters. We'll be speaking specifically to women, but men are going to get a ton from this too. Below is our graphic for the series.
Also, to promote our series we went out in to the community on Friday morning and evening and passed out over 2000 free bracelets to ladies with the word "captivating" on them. Cool bracelets that also support a cool cause. The bracelets were made by MudLove and a portion of each purchase goes to supply clean drinking water to people in Africa.
Our prayer throughout the series will be that women will be filled with a sense of beauty and confidence that comes from our God who sees them as captivating!

First a couple of pictures from the Routeburn Track! The valley you walk up the first day: Harris Lake (I think, it's in the Harris Saddle) that you pass on day two:
And a picture of me at day three's highlight: Earland Falls. Pretty rainbows at base:
and all 174m of it's dizzying height:
Finally on a side trip to Key Summit, another small tarn:
Next up, the Luxmore Hut, first night's lodging on the Kepler Track:
And hiking across a couple of high trails on day two:
Dawn breaks on day three over the Iris Burn Valley where it was a bit on the chilly side:
Then I caught a ride with Ewan in his funmobile (bike on the back, kiteboard on top, and 4 wheel drive on the floor):
To catch the ferry to Stewart Island:
And an amazing sunset:
Back on the mainland (South Island) the next day, we headed to Slope Point - further north than we'd been on Stewart Island, but still a nice photo op:
McLean falls: And Nugget Point:
Unfortunately the pictures I took of the sea lions and yellow eyed penguins didn't really come out. I'm still in Dunedin thinking about taking the Cadbury Factory and Spatez Brewery Tours and trying to figure out how to get to Mt. Cook!

I worked out this morning at 6:30 a.m.
I had a really good strong workout. I actually sweated! I did an 8 minute mile on the elyptical machine. I was really burning! And then I did some weights - Chest and tricep. And I finished with crunches!
It was raining steady, not heavy, but steady. Not too cold. I was waiting for the bus to go to Mass when the wind picked up. There were 3 or 4 of us huddled under the shelter of a bus stop. I called the "transit tracker" to find out when the bus was due. 9 minutes. I could handle it. I had my sensible rubber boots, my bubble umbrella and my sparkly gloves. But the young lady next to me was shivering. She glanced at me and asked when the bus was arriving. I told her. She said she had been waiting over a half hour because she missed her last bus. She kind of chuckled, but I she looked cold and miserable. She was wearing leggings, a t-shirt and an old hooded sweatshirt. She had a bag full of soggy looking items. We talked about the weather a bit. She was very sweet and friendly. I showed her my new boots. She had really old ones. She also didn't have any gloves.
No gloves! My chance to help! I asked her if she had any gloves just as the bus arrived. She said she did. "Ok", I said, "I just wondered if you needed a pair. I always buy extra and I have a brand new pair in my backpack." She looked back at me.
"Well, actually my gloves have holes in them", she said.
So on the bus, I pulled out a nice new pair of gloves. They were blue and green. She put them on and smiled. "They look nice on you", I said.
She thanked me and we chatted for awhile. "You are really easy to talk to", she said. "I don't know if anyone has ever told you that".
Then she popped up to exit the bus. We waved goodbye. And my heart soared.
These little moments of giving. They give me so much joy. I hope as much as the receiver.
I went to Mass and for the first time in my entire life, I was present with each and every word. It really sunk in.
Then I went to a school, to rehearse with grades 1 - 3 for the "Portland Musical". I am taking a break at the library before my evening students.
But I think my glove story is sufficient for today. Tomorrow is another day. I think I'd better stop at the store and buy more gloves!
Happy Thursday! :)
Peace and Joy!

Nothing HURTS worse than being a "rebound" partner.

Last night,
I couldn't even get an answer.
Tried to call, but my pride wouldn't let me dial.
And I'm sitting here, with this blank expression.
And the way I feel,
I wanna curl up like a child.

Do you need an excuse
for what beneath the 'skin' ?
Beneath the tremendous yet soothing lie?
Do you need to ignore what's underneath the clothes?
Do you need the companion..
to heal your fucking-sad-low soul ?
Do you need to see the scar on the mirror?
To reflect what's happened before?
To remember all the 'glorious-championship' moment..
Just to make it SMILE again..
Do you feel ashamed to trust your inner voice..?
Do you really need THEM to guide your skeptical naive view?
Do you like it... when I cum
your unstopable watery soul ?
Do you miss the coventional sorrounding...
with unpoluted imaginary
provoking your entire mind?
Do you mind if I stare your 'stare' ?
Do you agree to sign the twisted words ?
And sealed the deal.. ?
Do you...?
.. .. .. .. ...
Do you mind if I messed up ur mind ?
Yes you do...
Just tell me you do..
P/S: Do you agree to conform with the truth that's visibly wrong ?
-conna-kiri-kanan-pujangga merangkul harapan-
What if I tremble before I Look
Is your eyes will look upon
Me then..
Neither do I..
Mould me before I swell
Gently aroused me

Honestly from within

Change, Crying, Ex-husband, Friendship, Lafayette, Love, Single, Yes
You said no.
You are a stone.
Rock solid. Impenetrable.
Righteous. Right.
Victim and Martyr.
You pushed us out and asked why we left.
You spit on us and asked why we don't respect you.
You are swimming in your blindness.
You can't see the sun.
We choose joy. We choose love. We choose risk.
You chose money. You chose control. You chose blame.
I give up. I gave up.
You shit on me, fine.
You shit on mine, fuck you.
I'm done.
I choose joy. I choose life. I choose the sun.
I don't have to go far to find it.
It's all around.
It's in nature. It's in people. It's in work. It's in knowledge.
It's in friends. It's in family. It's in music. It's in comedy.
It's down the street. It's around the block. It's in my house.
It's in my heart.
I can't change yours. You win.
Keep your cold. Keep your hate. Keep your righteousness.
Keep your money. Keep your control. Keep your distance.
Keep the blame.
I give thanks for the job that doesn't pay enough.
I give thanks for the crappy 500 square feet.
I give thanks for ramen noodles.
I give thanks for the pictures on my wall.
I give thanks for new friends.
I give thanks for the two-step and the waltz.
I give thanks to Feu Follet and Carbon Poppies.
I give thanks for Pamplona's and Blue Moon.
I give thanks for Syrian Doctor, Tennis Bashir, Sam, Mr. Mexico and the other ones.
The last year has seen more joy than decades before.
Because I said no to blame.
No to control.
No to hate.
No to pettiness.
No to hate.
I said goodbye.
I say yes to joy.
Yes to love.
Yes to life.
Yes to laughing.
Yes to dancing.
Yes to kissing.
Yes to music.
Yes to walks.
Yes to nature.
Yes to joy.
Today was the last time I will give you permission to make me cry.
I am peace. I am joy.
I choose what's in my heart.
I am not stone.
I am water and air.
I flow and change.
I grow and move.
I am weak and I am strong.
I hurt. I cry. Then I learn and change.
I am open.
I say yes.

JPR was primarily concerned about where any revolution would lead the people. Would the revolution result in a new people emerging from the smoke and debris of war? Will the survivors become morally enlightened and free from friar superstitious bullshit? Will their children develop self-respect and treat fellow human beings honourably? Will the people reject exploitation and social parasitism, and justly reward productive labor? If the revolution will result in people's moral enlightenment and upliftment, JPR was all for it. If it will end in musical chairs where rebels replace the fucking friars as overlords of power and exploitation, huwag na lang. Saka na.
JPR was less concerned about military victory and more about moral evolution and progress. He cannot be credited for predicting the outcome of an armed revolt against Spain as it was impossible to do so despite the benefit of historical precedents. The outcome of the Katipunan revolution, or any revolution, can never be predicted. It can only be decided by the determination, courage, and wits of the participants. JPR opted for the path of free-thinking moral enlightenment and reform advocacy. All of which got him executed by the fucking friars. His execution was the most irrefutable evidence to Bonifacio and company that armed revolt was justified under the circumstances they were in. Launching the armed revolt at that time cannot be judged untimely, discovery or no discovery. From historical hindsight, we know the Spanish empire was in an advanced state of rigor mortis. So the Katipunan revolt in 1896, historically, was very timely.
The methods of Bonifacio and Aguinaldo in carrying out the revolution would have shocked JPR had he lived to witness them. And would have strengthened his conviction to postpone the armed revolt and intensify the moral education of the people. Mabini would be complaining later about the rebels' moral corruption. In violation of the moral principles laid down by Emilio Jacinto in the Katipunan's Kartilya, Bonifacio and company tried implicating and blackmailing wealthy natives to join the movement by forging their signatures on counterfeit letters indicating their support of the Katipuneros. JPR would have howled in protest over Aguinaldo's betrayal of the revolution by agreeing to the terms and conditions of the Biak Na Bato Pact. Not to mention his likely moral outrage over the Aguinaldo/Bonifacio power play and salvaging. Most likely Aguinaldo would have had JPR and Antonio Luna EJK-ed together for their moral impertinence.
What Filipinos have today are the detritus and latak of the 1896 revolution. It's now up to us to regenerate the moral principles of the Katipunan Kartilya and forge the new Filipino brimming with integrity and pride.

Quite a few visitors have been finding the Blog by searching for "B&Q Gazebo instructions", so I thought I would post the actual instructions for erecting the gazebo here. I hope they are of help to you.
These instructions are for the "Deluxe Gazebo" which comes in either green or in cream. As mine has been put up and taken down a few times, the parts do not look like new and you'll see an odd scrape or piece of rust in my pictures that shouldn't be on your new parts.
The roof bars (or rafters, if you prefer) and legs are made of tubular mild steel and when first packaged come in coloured bags so that you can easily select the correct one for assembly. If you are like me, however, over time you will probably lose the bags, or stuff everything into one bag, mix them up, or generally succumb to human nature and not bother to sort out the pieces before you store the disassembled gazebo for the winter.
2A = A fat pole with a "male" end on each end of the pipe. It is the only type of pipe with this configuration.
3 = a fat pole with a "male" end and a "female" end, a bigger diameter verson of Part 1A.
You should find four plastic parts which look like these. These are the parts with the sockets into which the roof bars fit before they are joined into the tops of the legs. You will notice that three of the sockets in each piece are narrow diameter. One of the sockets in each piece is a larger diameter.
If you turn these parts over, you will see that three of the sockets are embossed with the numbers "2", "1" & "2".
Next, insert a 2A pipe into the end of the Part 2 pipe that you earlier attached to the corner. The idea is to lengthen the pipes to double their previous length. Repeat for the other Part 2 pipe. Insert a 1A pipe into the Part 1 pipe. The result looks like the picture to the left.
You should now have a reasonably secure pyramid like the photo.
Well, that's it! If you have and questions or comments, please add them in the Comments section.

Lately I have had some amazing things donated, rugs, horse gear, donations towards my vet bill ~ and for all of the people that have helped with time to transport horses, cut chaff, make phone calls etc you are all amazing. I don't know what I would do without your help.
There is no way that I could rescue as many horses as I do without the ongoing love and support from you all and I hope I haven't offended people by not emailing or calling. I do thank everyone after each horse update and I personally thought that people would read it and know that it was directed at everyone who has helped.
I am ever grateful for your love and support..
Quick Horsey Update ♥
SAMPSON ~ Is a real character, he HATES getting his hooves muddy... What a laugh!! Sampy's stable opens into his paddock but right at the door it gets a little muddy from the rain and Sampson refuses to walk in the mud or jump over it. His stable door is left open so that he can eat breakfast then go out into the paddock after, but two days of not leaving his stable even when the door was open we figured out why... He refused to walk through the mud.. haha.... All the pulling and pushing didn't help, he just planted!! Even a yummy bucket of feed didn't help.. haha... Princess Sampy boy!!
HOPE ~ Has her nose out of joint because she no longer gets stabled. She is healthy enough not to need it and has the big paddock with Ma all day and night. She did enjoy her little sleeps laying down but she can't get spoilt to much. She already gets away with murder and she knows it.. I don't own this filly, she owns me! ♥
MA ~ Is doing so well, god she is a beautful old soul. I just can't believe someone neglected her so badly.. She has a pure heart made of solid gold.. She is the only horse who can pull the naughty little filly Hope into line..
SULLEY ~ Is a real darling, he has a soft amazing soul as well and will give his all to anyone. He is a little funny with strangers but once he trusts you, he will do anything to please. He loves being groomed and enjoys a rump massage the most.. He likes his neck massaged as well, but mostly his rump... He is a massive puppy dog!
ZENA ~ Has so much energy now.. She is first waiting at the gate for carrots and even galloped around the paddock after being in the stable for the first few days of arriving. Now she neighs all the time to anyone who will pay her attention. Her windsucking sores from the collar have healed up nicely and she has already put some weight on. She has a sweet soul as well and at 13 years old will make an awesome riding horse for someone deserving..
BAMBI ~ Her toe abcsess has healed completely and she is paddocked with Zena. She is an amazing mare as well and at 14 will also make a great riding horse for someone experienced.. She is putting on weight well and her rain scald is healing up nicely...
BENITA ~ has also put on weight well and loves being bossed around by June and Zoria.
ZORIA ~ Is being adopted by Karen. Karen fostered Zoria and fell in love. She rode her and after getting past her naughty ways, she is now riding her bareback down to the neighbours place. Karen has spoilt her rotten and she gets toast for breakfast :-) I'm thinking she may need a diet though, she is getting very round.
JUNE ~ Is still looking for a retirement home. I haven't re-advertised her yet but she is ready to go..
WHISKEY ~ Is having his medication for his eye problem but still no idea if it's going to help.. Fingers crossed it's not cancer.
KRYSTAL ~ Is doing well, she is a dear old soul and Ryley is just spoiling her but she deserves it.. Krystal retired with me and is 27 years old, but Ryley fell in love with her when she was having some lessons, so I let her take Krystal home and she couldn't have found a better place to spend her days... ♥
Naughty Ponies ~ Both got out again and led each other on a naughty rampage.. For some reason silly Helix always goes to Hope.. But he couldn't get into her paddock and kept getting zapped by the electric fence.. Funny enough he kept trying but Garth being the smart one, stood back and watched.. He didn't try once and after watching Helix, Garth took himself back to his paddock... haha Silly ponies! I still can't keep a fly mask on Garth though, Helix pulls them all off him.. They are the hardest to keep in paddocks, but the electric tape used to cover the gap in the fence should do the trick.. ♥

Eventually, I hope to find a man who treats me with respect and acknowledges that I am (or could be) an important part of his life.
Do not brush me aside, thinking that I'll be there whenever you're ready to finally act like you care, because you know what, I won't.
Do not act like you want to be with me but then treat me like a side hobby that you enjoy only when you have nothing else going on in your life.
I am important. I am valuable.
At least have the decency to tell me that you're busy before you brush me aside.
If you don't want me, I don't want you either.

Something else white is blooming these days, in addition to the Sweet Autumn Clematis: my Garlic Chives (Allium tuberosum). I think it is pretty cool: Chives bloom in the Spring and Garlic Chives bloom in the Fall.
Similarly to the Chives, the Garlic Chives form clumps that can be divided and moved around. I plan to do just that later this Fall. I'm going to spread some around in the garden beds on either side of the path to the back door.
The Garlic Chives have narrow, strappy, flat leaves and white flowers; the Chives (Allium schoenoprasum) have round, hollow leaves and rosy-purple flowers. (Can you tell that it rained a little this afternoon?)
After they have finished blooming, they will make seed pods filled with black seeds, which are very showy. I've used the seed pods with the black seeds in flower arrangements.
They do reseed fairly readily, but not obnoxiously so. And yes, like Chives, you can chop these up and put them on your baked potato. With lots of butter. And sour cream.
Have a beautiful day!

A New Years Eve walk in snow and ice! What better, invigorating end to the year?
We set out early this morning and headed towards the Beacons with a few routes in mind. What we hadn't planned on was the amount of snow on some of the side roads. The road from Pontsticill towards Taf Fechan Forest started off okay, but become more snow laden as we drove North. We eventually (after getting stuck temporarily in a small car park south of the Neuadd reservoirs) settled on parking at the north end of Pontsticill reservoir. We then decided to take a route up onto a hill that neither of us had been up before, Pant-y-Creigiau - not particularly high at 565m but it meant we were beneath the clouds and there were some great views.
On the map at least, it didn't look a particularly taxing route, but it turned out to be tough going due to the conditions, both underfoot and the relentless wind on the exposed sections.
As well as snow, everything was encrusted with ice - the trees, the grass, the trig point, my face! It really was quite picturesque. A real enjoyable walk to end the year with.
Now, please excuse me, I have an appointment with 15 bottles of cold Budweiser.

Mario has always been the favourite with kids. He's friendly, funny and also very smart at the same. But come on – who wouldn't love him. He's so cute!
And you thought you knew everything about Mario, didn't you? Well, you're wrong, because there's one side that he likes to keep secret, and never wants to let it out. Well we've come here now to discover what that is, and it can't be said any simpler then – Mario has an evil twin brother!
King of jewels…and Wario is his name! Wario is, quite simply, Mario's complete opposite. He loves money, he's greedy and he basically wants everything for himself. He crown's himself the "King of Jewels", because he loves treasure. That's Wario for you. He loves himself, and no body else. Which is where he comes into our story.
Wario World is based all on Wario (quote obviously), and our story starts when Wario has all the treasure he's ever wanted, but then an evil monster (more evil than Wario), comes along and casts a spell which turns all of Wario's treasure into monsters! Wario gets pissed at this (well, who wouldn't be?), so he forces himself to go out and get his treasure back in the only way he knows how; how good 'ol friend – BEAT EM UP!!
Wario World is based on that topic, and that topic alone – beat em up. Basically all you have to do is go through levels, and beat up monsters to get money back, then beat the occasional boss. The levels do get harder, however, which means that you have to fight harder – non of this "button-bashing" crap. You need to know combinations, so you can perform eye-dazzling moves on your opponents to destroy them.
Some of Wario's nice moves are:
- Throws (once you've knocked them out, use the B button to pick up, then press it again to throw them)
- The Corkscrew Conk (Press the R button to do a dash attack, then press the A button)
- Piledriver (KO a monster, pick it up then press A to jump. While in the air, press R)
- The Wild Swing-Ding (KO a monster, pick it up, and rotate the control stick)
Theses are some of Wario's best moves to perform when you are out numbered.
Controls are otherwise, pretty simple. You can jump, punch, move in all directions ect. You can also suck up loose coins with the L button.
Be it simple, it's still a good blend, and you'll find the controls quite easy to use.
Wario World has some great graphics. The monsters really shine this part of the game, as they are all colourful and bright ect. The Gamecube's engine is used nicely in this game, and it really shows. Everything seems to be so colourful, it really creates a nice atmosphere. Wario himself looks great, with a nice bright, yellow shirt and purple overalls.
All characters also seem to be very "stubby", shall I say. Not that it's a bad thing! It's a great asset of the game, as it makes everything look so cute and cuddly. Wario looks very cute, I might add, when he climbs sticky balls. (Ok, that sentence did not sound good :P ). But you'll see what I mean when you actually play the game for yourself. The visuals are really the main driving force for this game.
The sound. Ahh, what to say, what to say. Well, one word for it is – REPETITVE. It may sound fun and happy, but you'll not long find yourself saying "havn't I heard that before?". Yes, you will. It repeats over…and over…and over!
But on the positive side of things, it does sound nice. It blends right in with the visuals, creating a nice fun, happy land. Which I find weird, considering you are beating up monsters…
The effects for when you actually hit a monster are simple (again! This game is so simple!). It's really nothing new to hear.
Altogether though, this really is one for the kids. I don't think you'll find yourself playing it if your 16/17 years +. Some may be intrigued whilst others will ignore it at first glance.
But! For those of you who are die hard Wario fans, then I suggest picking this one up.
All marks out of 10.
Visuals: 9
Sound: 9
Gameplay: 9
Overall: 9/10
If you're just a regular game player, I don't really recommend this one. For Mario and Nintendo fans of the sort, you might be interested in this.

text: I write about missing Haiti a lot, but it is because most days I cannot escape the heartbreak. I only want my feet on Haitian soil. Some days are harder than others, and some days, like Haiti, are a beautiful juxtapositions of joy and heartbreak. I am joyful because I have precious servant friends serving God in my home. I am heartbroken because they are there and I simply am not. This feeling is different from envy, it is much deeper, but it is impatience. My impatience is unfair to God, who has a perfect plan. He is gracious though, and He will let me rest in it anyway. Sometimes, God just allows us to wallow in a pint of ice cream while He holds our hand. I believe, He lets me thirst to be in Haiti so deeply because this keeps the fire lit, this keeps me going when the stress of picking up and moving to a third world country feels unbearable. The to-do list is growing but my desire grows faster. I pray for my friends, I shed a few tears and I work on my to-do list because His ways are perfect and there is a race to run.

Escape velocity
As my mind blanked out into oblivion it let out a word. A single word. It was meaningless; for all intents and purposes, it was nothing but a word. There was no thought sustaining it, no idea giving it shape, no meaning to define it. And yet it was uttered in the wrongest moment of all, and as soon as it was out it reached escape velocity and went beyond all possible control. That was a long time ago; and yet, as of today that single, unintended word still robs me of my spontaneity, still keeps my mind from blanking out into oblivion again, still prevents me from letting myself go. Since that word was uttered, there is a part of me that has never slept; always awake, always aware, it has kept watch restlessly, guarding my mind from itself.

Magdalene House founder and our great friend Becca Stevens was the preacher at today's General Convention Eucharist. She is always a spectacular speaker. I will send the link to the video and the text of the sermon as soon as I can. Afterwards I went by the Thistle Farm booth in the Exhibit Hall and it was buzzing with business. Becca was posing for lots of pictures. A good day for this wonderful work.
I don't know how long it will be at this link, but I encourage you to watch this video of the Bishops' March Against Gun Violence. You'll get a taste of the inspiring preaching of Michael Curry, our Presiding Bishop Elect. He can bring the word.
Here's a story about yesterday's debate that resumed today over the structure of the church. As I said yesterday, I don't have a dog in this hunt, but for those of you who do, here's a report about it -- http://www.deputynews.org/house-of-deputies-passes-two-structure-resolutions/
I rested today, and I visited the LDS Family History Library where after a bit of tutoring I did some genealogical research at this amazing facility. It was fascinating. I only made a modest bit of progress, but it's given me a direction for some future research sometime down the line.
As the convention recessed, I heard word that the House of Deputies passed authorizations for the church to offer same-sex marriage. I'm sure there are some nuances, and I will link more in-depth reports as soon as I can. I'm getting a bite to eat and retiring early tonight. Should have a lot more energy tomorrow after a pretty relaxing day.

Gratitude Sunday
I'm back! Life has been a wee bit, ok a lot bit, crazy recently. However, I am trying to get into a nice routine so that things won't be quite so crazy!
Today, I am grateful for a lot -- don't I say that every Sunday? ;)
1. My sisters. I have 1 sister and 5 sister-in-laws. They are each very special to me in their own way. I love them each for the things they teach me, the love they give me and their children and my brothers (and brother in laws). I am just really lucky.
2. Jeremy. Holy cow, he rocks my world! Right now, he is having a pajama party with Seth and Amelia while I sit here and blog. He is so good with them, and SO good to me. He changes diapers, cooks, cleans, does yard work, plays with the kids and only asks for my love in return. I am the luckiest woman in the world.
3 . My business. I have sold 2 slings in the last week and have had quite a few more inquiries. I love that people love the slings and more and more Mamas want to wear their babies. It just warms my heart.
4. Halloween. I am REALLY excited for Halloween this year. We have some big plans for this week, big plans I tell you!
5. I am really grateful that I could spend the day with my kids yesterday. I had a million and one things to do, but chose not to, and took the kids to Border's for a Halloween party (more on that tomorrow). They had fun and I had fun. I'll sew tonight after they go to bed. They're worth it.
Here's a little sneak preview of their costumes. I'd like to introduce you to Obi Wan and Little Red Riding Hood. I'm grateful that my Mom made the Obi Wan costume for Seth and I could make the Red Riding Hood costume for Amelia. They're pretty cute eh?

I wanted to thank you for commenting on my blog - especially since it introduced me to you!
Isn't it wonderful to have a million and one things to do ... and just play with your kids instead? THAT'S what life is all about, my friend. The rest is just fluff.

The Begleys didn't have a family dog. In fact, the closest we came was a hamster named Rudy (it was a Christmas gift, so his moniker was short for Rudolph). And my siblings and I were quite terrified of the little guy. So much so that my mom told us that he died from human neglect after the pet's unexpected passing.
My older brother Jeremy and his wife Sarah decided to get a dog after they were married in the summer of 2007. They did their research (because that's what they do) and agreed on the breed – a boxer or boxer mix. They also decided to rescue a puppy, opting to utilize a rescue group called Purrs N' Pups (http://www.purrsnpups.org/). After being approved to adopt, they scanned the website and quickly fell in love with a "boxer mix" named Peanut. An adoption event was held the following Saturday at a Petsmart in Rockaway, NJ, which was their opportunity to meet Peanut and make sure he was the real deal.
He was in fact the real deal, so they filled out the necessary paperwork and were almost through the last couple pages of signatures when the agency representative casually mentioned that the "mix" part of Peanut may be a pit bull. She wasn't certain, but wanted to make sure that they were aware that it was a possibility.
As it turns out, the dog is quite possibly a purebred pit bull. And as my brother says, "the only 'box' in him is the box he came in." Jeremy and Sarah quickly renamed him "Tatum" – a name they selected when they thought he was a boxer and a reference to Simpson's character Drederick Tatum (a boxer satirizing Mike Tyson).
Tatum is 2½ years old (he was born in August '07) and weighs a solid 80 lbs. He's a high-energy, yet obedient dog that loves to be around people (sounds like a personal ad, doesn't it?). And his world is about to be turned upside down when his "parents" welcome their first baby into the world this May.

W.W.W. Wednesdays is a weekly event brought to you by MizB from Should Be Reading. To play along, answer the following questions:
- What are you currently reading?
- What did you recently finish reading?
- What do you think you are going to read next?
Here is my WWW for today:
What are you currently reading? I am reading The Santa Claus League by Stephen Miller. I am excited to read a Christmas story just in time for the holidays. So far it is enjoyable. Check it out:
Synopsis: Julia Martin is the most incredible girl in school, and Mason Howell is hopelessly smitten by her. Julia is in charge of the local Charity Christmas party and she's pleased with how everything is going…until her Santa Claus calls in sick. In a panic, she begs Mason to help her by wearing his grandfather's heirloom Santa Claus suit. Mason agrees, just to impress the beautiful girl, but things don't go as planned…as soon as he puts on the suit, he gets all the powers of Santa Claus!
Together with John Patton, Mason's best friend, they learn his grandfather was a member of an ancient league of men and women dedicated to helping St. Nicholas use Christmas magic to save the world. The three of them could become the newest members of the Santa Claus League…if they can learn the secrets of Christmas magic!
What did you recently finish reading? I just finished reading Getting Rooted in New Zealand by Jamie Baywood and Einstein Must Die by Chris Kohout. My reviews will be up later today.
What do you think you are going to read next? I am going to read Beyond Escape by Deborah K. Jensen. Check it out below.
Synopsis: After separating from her husband of twenty years, Kim is in desperate need of an escape. Retreating to her parents' home in Texas for a month, Kim encounters ample distractions, the best being Camilo, an alluring Latino man seventeen years her junior. However, when returning to Texas unearths memories of a long-ago lover, Kim discovers her unintentional involvement in a series of dangerous escapades, bringing her deeper into her past than she ever cared to venture. Beyond Escape follows Kim as she pursues a trail of drugs, murder, and secret love affairs that were meant to stay buried.

Climb Out of the Darkness is the annual awareness raising and fundraising event for Postpartum Progress, a nonprofit focused on supporting pregnant and new moms with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders like postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, postpartum OCD, postpartum psychosis and pregnancy depression. Also, Climb Out of the Darkness kicks ass. Just so you know.
We will be walking the Little River Loop trail at Campbell Valley Regional Park in Langley. We will meet in the parking lot off 16th, and start the trail heading South at 10am. This trail is stroller friendly, so feel free to bring the little ones. http://www.metrovancouver.org/about/maps/Maps/CAMmap.pdf
I look forward to Climbing with each and every one of you. Together we can rise out of the darkness, and erase the stigma of maternal mood disorders.
Help us raise money so that we can continue to raise awareness of how women are devastated by perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, make sure women know what they need to know about PPD, eliminate stigma and support the mamas who need it.
And now to get climbing!
