Dealing with unexpected events on a daily basis is part and parcel of life as a Federal MP. But those events went to a whole new level of unexpected when I received a text message from my wife Lindsay a couple of weeks ago when I was out at dinner in my electorate. Her text came with a photo. The photo was of two vertical lines. On a pregnancy test. The test revealed that she was pregnant with our third child (we already have two healthy little girls).
Except it isn't our third child. It is actually our sixth child.
Upon receipt of the message, I raced home. We looked incredulously at the pregnancy test. Like about a thousand times. And then I went and bought a second test just to make sure it wasn't a false reading.
It was wonderful news, but we weren't emphatically jubilant. Because we had been here before. Five times before to be precise. And we lost three babies along the way. In between the blessing of our first daughter, and what felt like the miracle of our second daughter, we experienced three early miscarriages in a row.
Three times in a row we felt the excitement and joy of that positive test. Three times in a row we felt the nerves of the days and weeks in which Lindsay remained pregnant. And three times in a row we felt the sorrow, grief and loss - when her dreaded cramping came and we lost our babies in the first trimester. And we know that we were not alone in that grief, and by no means did we feel like 'that couple'. But grief is grief, and loss is loss. And it always hurts. A lot. And we felt pretty lonely. And to the extent it was tough for me, I reckon it was a thousand times tougher for Lindsay.
And the statistics are stark – on a good day, one in four women will miscarry before twelve weeks, on a bad day, perhaps one in three. And we know that after twelve weeks, the odds get much, much better. The loss of a child is beyond awful, on any measure. But there is something about the shroud of secrecy surrounding miscarriage in the first trimester that I find troubling.
I understand and respect those who wish to keep their grief surrounding a miscarriage private. But what I don't get is the fact that so many parents suffer such grief in secrecy, under the cover of some arbitrary non disclosure period of seeing out the first trimester.
The reality is that for a huge number of pregnant women and couples, they will suffer a heartbreaking loss. And for as long as we perpetuate a convention that the 'right' time for disclosure of pregnancy is at twelve weeks, thousands of women and couples face the prospect of having to endure the grief of miscarriage in an unnecessarily private way, creating an increased risk of loneliness, isolation and depression.
Perhaps it's time to make being open about early miscarriage ok.
And I reckon it's also time to make sure that women who have lost babies through miscarriage know that they are not alone.
Life as a Federal Member of Parliament seems to me to be a little bit like a FIFO job – it means being away from home much more than I would otherwise prefer. But being away from home is made much easier in the knowledge that even though we are only at the ten week mark, our family and friends know that Lindsay is pregnant, and she has all the support around her that we could possibly hope for - just in case something goes wrong.
If we are prepared to be more honest with ourselves and each other about what might hurt, and what might be really hard to do, then perhaps making our way through the grief and loss brought about by miscarriage becomes more bearable.
I'm hoping that we get to a point where women and couples feel as if they can publicly embrace the uncertainty of the first trimester – if they want to – in the knowledge that whatever happens, it will all be ok. Eventually.

Proposed graduate programs given green light
Spurred on by the overwhelming success of graduate programs in business and education, Mount Mercy's Board of Trustees have approved the launch of two additional graduate programs in nursing and marriage and family therapy. Classes in the marriage and family therapy program will be offered beginning Fall semester 2010, while classes in the nursing program are set to launch winter term 2011, pending interim approval of the Iowa Board of Nursing. The additional graduate programs are a key component in Mount Mercy's strategic plan, The Plan for Mount Mercy University, and will be a centerpiece of the College's growth and development as it moves toward University designation.
The Master of Science in Nursing program features emphases in health promotion and disease prevention focus and is a 36 credit hour program that can be completed in 18 months. The Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy is a 60 credit hour program that can be completed in two years.
Dean of Graduate Studies Melody Graham, Ph.D., notes that both programs build on Mount Mercy's reputation for quality, faithinspired liberal arts and professional education. "The addition of a graduate program in nursing is a natural evolution for our highly competitive and recognized undergraduate nursing program," says Graham. "We look forward to offering local nurses the opportunity to meet the challenges of an ever-changing, complex health care system by continuing their education with our talented faculty."
Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy leads students to Iowa state licensure in Marriage Family Therapy — one of only two programs in the state of Iowa. The program offers students a unique systems perspective that is reinforced by the program's mandated 300 counseling hours, which ensures that students learn successful counseling techniques to help individuals, couples and families. "The Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy is a perfect program for adults interested in exploring and beginning a second career," says Graham. "Students will benefit from Mount Mercy's solid liberal arts curriculum while learning practical and successful counseling skills." The Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy does not require students to have a previous degree in social work, psychology or a related field.
"The positive feedback about our graduate programs in business and education is overwhelming," says Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs John P. Marsden, Ph.D. "Our alumni, current students and community members approached us about starting additional programs to help fill gaps in local workforce development. We are pleased to offer resources that will positively contribute to the community." For more information about Mount Mercy's graduate programs, contact Melody Graham at firstname.lastname@example.com.

First of all, I have more to post about my favourite people, guess who? LOL.....TVXQ (Yunho and Changmin) will be releasing a new Korean album as stated in my previous post and their album cover was revealed in the last couple of days:
|Their new album is titled "Keep Your Head Down". :D (Picture Credit: SM Entertainment)
I personally really like this new song from Yunho and Changmin, but what do you guys think?
However, other than TVXQ's new Korean album release, JYJ (Junsu, Jejung and Yuchun) have also revealed the news that they will be releasing a new self-composed Korean album next year, most likely in January (OMG...January will be a very busy month for me..hahahaa xD). Their new album is said to be in the form of a written photobook. Along with the photos, this photobook will contain handwritten messages from JYJ as a way to express their gratitude for their fans' support. And just yesterday, an audio preview of six tracks from this new album was released on their official site (Video Credit: C-JeS Entertainment & KyuleeKPOPMV):
Just from this audio preview I can already imagine how amazing this album will be...hahaha btw I am NOT biased :P
However, other than just being overly excited about the album releases of TVXQ and JYJ....I'm also really in love with a certain Korean drama recently and it is called "Secret Garden". This drama belongs in the genres of melodrama, fantasy and romance and the leading roles of this show are played by Hyun Bin (which I've known since My Name is Kim Sam Soon) and Ha Ji Won (whom I did not know about until this drama but has been in quite a few dramas and films, such as the award-winning drama Hwang Jin-i).
Basically, this drama tells the story of an arrogant and eccentric CEO (Hyun Bin) and a poor and humble stunt-woman (Ha Ji Won) and how their accidental meeting marks the beginning of a relationship full of tension and bickering. However, their relationship becomes more complicated when a strange sequence of events led to the swapping of their bodies. (Btw, this brief synopsis was taken from Wikipedia...because I'm unable to summarize this show in such a concise but informative way ><".) To get you even more interested (hopefully I'm doing an okay job at this -__-")...here are some pictures from the show that was released before the first episode was aired on tv (I'm doing this so that I'm not giving away any spoilers :D).
|(The following pictures including this one are all taken from the following sources: Chosun, Asiae, Newsen, Review Star)
|Hyun Bin
|Why does he look so hot?!?! LOL xD
|Ha Ji Won
Anyways...this entry is way too long already, so I shall stop right here LOL. And hopefully I'll be writing another post before school starts again but I cannot guarantee because I have a crazy thesis proposal that needs to be completed by January 10th :(...

I used clear UTEE and added Pearl UTEE into the Melt Pot once the clear had melted. It gave a lovely shimmer when poured.
A small amount of colour has been added to the glass before stamping.
Judith, these are really lovely - wish I could make it to the workshop!Love the shimmer effect
I just love this. Makes me want to get a melt pot and have a got at some other stuff as well.
Judith, I have been making these using just the frame and pouring Utee but your notes seem to imply that you use the glass over the Utee and stamp the glass. I would love to do this but for me the Utee is to thick to then put the glass on top and I am wondering how you achieve that. Could you confirm you stamp the glass?
Having a bit of trouble with this. Would you confirm that you pour the Utee into the frame, let it set and then stamp the glass and insert the glass into the frame. Thank you
Hi use stazon ink and stamp onto your glass. put your glass into the frame with the stamped side upper most. Pour your utee into the frame on top of the stamped side glass the frame will hold the utee. this bit is the most difficult pour slow and steady. Allow to cool before touching.
Hope this helps.
yes I do stamp onto the glass first.

I love trying new mascaraz so will not take long to talk about this …this is from Mikyajy a well known brand here in Middleeast, they have a range Sabaya which is designed for teens and young makeup lovers…must say have gorgeous collection of shades.So I am going to talk about the Sabaya Super Volume Mascara & Sabaya Glow Gloss which are new addition to their range.
Sabaya Super Volume Mascara has a nice big brush but not like the usual brushes, the brush a bit different its flexible moves as you apply.Loved its as it gives the most clump free full dark lashes adjusting the amount of mascara you need to apply to each lash .The brush is real good reaches each lash and the formula is also nice didn't notice any fall outs after 3 hours too, holds the curl also well. Gives nice voluminous lashes as it says.
Sabaya Glow Gloss beautiful nude gloss very comfortable not sticky .Now what's special about this gloss it its loaded with antioxidants so whats better when you get protection and benefits besides looking beautiful its creamy nude in color with very micro shimmer particles…I applied it alone without a lipstick, loved how my lips looked full & luscious <3… you can read more about it here
Check the pics for my verdict.

Our topic this term is Ancient Egypt:
Our topic last term was Stepping Stones:
Our topic last term was Islands of Adventure
In December some of the members of the WI in our community came to visit Class 3. We have been talking about what Christmas means to us. We wanted to explore what Christmas means to them as Christians. They very kindly brought us a wonderful gift which they had knitted for our school: Mary, Joseph and a complete Nativity scene.
We talked to them about how the Nativity reflects our Christian value of Love at this time of year.
We studied Divali, and as part of this, we held a Divali morning. All the children and staff came in on that morning in Divali celebration dress. We took part in exciting cooking and craft activities and experienced what it would be like to be a Hindu celebrating Divali.
We created mixed media artwork inspired by Japanese artist Hokusai, which was displayed in St Mary's Church for the Great Bedwyn Art Festival.
We went to Forest School for the day. In spite of the rain, we had a brilliant time making dens, modelling clay, role playing and discovering more about the animals who live in the forest.

As I mentioned Cael has been awesome lately. We ended up playing a bit the other night. I can't help it. *hangs head* I can't get enough of him. It's like an addiction. The day after I expected not to hear from him. He had told me he would be busy so I assumed I wouldn't hear from him until Sunday. He messaged me on his lunch break, and then all the way home and all the way to his meeting and then again after his meeting. This is something even three weeks ago wouldn't have happened. (Of course he has been getting progressively better.) He messaged to check up on me.. make sure I was okay and didn't have any regrets or was feeling off from what happened after having said no for so long. I told him I was feeling a little insecure and I told him why. He said he'd fix the issue I was having when he got home that night. Of course he didn't because I'm sure he sat down and passed out but I know he's going to fix it.. I don't doubt it anymore. We also talked about how he'd been hot and cold on me for a long time. He hasn't done it in quite a while excusing the silence we had for a bit that was for a good reason. He's been really good actually. He's even been telling me when he'll be away or busy. This pretty much means the world to me. Being so far apart it's the only way I know the difference between him being busy and not answering and something going really wrong so he's not answering. The amount of effort he's putting into this... how hard he's trying.. it sounds really stupid but when I think about it or talk to him about it I actually tear up. It means THAT much.
I'm happy lately. I've had a couple people try to take me back down off that high and for the most part I understand why but it also bugs me. I know what he's done in the past. So does he, believe me, I've told him what he's done and how it upset me. He hasn't once denied it or tried to defend himself. He knows he had problems, and that he hurt me with them and he's trying to fix that and he's apologized a lot. A lot of those hurts that were made are healing, getting less stingy. He's become my safe spot again, and I found out the other day that I'm his. It's reassuring and ...right. I like that I'm where he goes when he's upset. I love being that for him. He's also told me that he wants me, and can't stay away from me, all those feelings I have towards him he has them towards me. He's never told me any of that before. I feel like I matter now, like I'm where I'm supposed to be. *shrugs* Just been a good week so far.
Speaking of a good week I had friends visiting the other day. I haven't seen this friend in years and we spent a good time talking about her relationship with her fiance. For as explosive as the relationship with Cael was he never directly set out to hurt me like her fiance is. He's told her that he hates her, that he doesn't love her anymore and is only there for their baby girl. He's threatened to walk out, forced her to have her daughter when she said she wasn't ready and then told her he wasn't sure he wants her anymore, and then went as far as to tell her that if she is pregnant again like she suspects if she gets an abortion he'll leave her... even though he doesn't want the first child anymore and she's not even able to support herself let alone a baby plus another on the way. I kinda wanna hurt him.. a lot. However, I had an awesome time with her around and playing with her baby. She asked me to be an aunt since she's an only child. So I guess technically she's my niece. That's kinda cool. I'm excited about it. I love spending time with them. I'm definitely going to have to do some more of it.
Cael and I have talked about babies. Most recently when my cervix was having it's moment. We both agreed it will be a long, long time before we have them and I'll have a ring on my finger and we'll be stable again before it happens. I refuse to sacrifice our relationship to have a baby. I always have. But.. after spending some time with my niece gods I want one! I'm hoping spending lots of time with her will erase that particular want. That's totally plausible right?

Altered Growth Phenotype of a Burkitt's Lymphoma Line Following the Introduction and Stable Expression of the EBNA 2A Gene
Using recombinant retrovirus-mediated transfer, the coding region for the Epstein-Barr virus-encoded EBNA 2A gene was selectively introduced and stably expressed in the Louckes Burkitt lymphoma cell line. Transfected cells displayed the following altered growth characteristics when compared with the parental line: (i) maintenance of proliferation at reduced serum concentrations, (ii) improved seeding efficiency, (iii) production of a unique growth-enhancing factor, (iv) increased sensitivity to the unique factor. These growth-related changes were accompanied by the appearance of large amounts of soluble CD23 fragments in medium conditioned by Louckes cells expressing EBNA 2A. Tumor-promoting phorbol esters were found to induce similar phenotypic change in the Louckes parental line as seen on the introduction of the EBNA 2A gene. Possible mechanisms by which EBNA 2A provides a growth advantage to B lymphoma cells are discussed.

The clarify the role of GOALKEEPERS in the Forest Summer Soccer Comp, please read on……
- The Goal-Keeper is a normal player except in the penalty area where he can handle the ball.
- The Goal-Keeper can kick the ball where he likes including kicking a goal for his team from his own penalty area if he has saved the ball.
- If the ball goes out over the goal line for a goal kick/throw though he cannot kick or throw the ball over the half way line.
- You can only switch the goalkeeper at half time NOT during a half plus they should have a different shirt to the rest of the team. This is quite common and teams can borrow a bib from the desk if needed.
- For Teams in the Under 6's & Under 7's – they do not have a designated Goal-Keeper and any child who stays in the penalty area when play is nowhere near their goal should be advised by the Referee to get involved where the ball is being played.

I had so much fun making connections and meeting new people that I can't wait to be able to go to market again! Since it was my first visit, there was so much to see and do, and there were even quilt displays to look at when taking a break from marketing and shopping. Many people get exhausted after a day of sitting in schoolhouse classes or a day at the market, but even though my feet were sore, I was energized! The next time Quilt Market is in Portland, OR I need to have my own booth, so each time I saw a booth that I liked, it was studied for future reference, and many other designers whose booths I admired were helpful with suggestions and insightful information as to what works for them, and many were things that I hadn't thought about.
I must admit I took a camera, and then chose not to use it because I don't want to copy someone else's booth - mine will have to be my design. With this in mind, some of the things that I really took notice of was that the plain booths were not getting as much attention as the fancied up booths - those that had booths that fit what was being sold, had personalized signage, curtains, table cloths, table to write orders with chairs for both the dealer and customer seemed to both look more professional, but also be doing more business. Not only do you need to have a great product, but the customers need to see samples that are presented in a way that draws them in. Another thing I noticed was what was going on in the booths when they weren't busy. Some sat and just looked tired (I do realize that all of them must be busy, but this makes the booth less appealing to passers by), however, others were busy - either working on a project, doing demonstrations, or just re-organizing, and I think it is a better way to go.
After speaking with everyone that I thought fit my plan to connect with distributors and shops that I thought had the potential to carry my pattern line, or work with me as a designer / teacher, I did a little shopping. The first purchase was from Susan Clarke's button shop, were I purchased huge buttons for a new quilt design, then I found some garment patterns (I don't design garments, but do surface design on someone else's pattern, giving them credit for the garment design) at New Leaf Pattern Distributors that I hadn't seen before, and will be fun to make. My last purchase blew my budget, but will help me complete more projects - I'll keep you in suspense until it comes (I need to make space), then I'll post about it.

Golden Age Villains - Black Death
The Black Death was a villain in a Woman in Red story from Thrilling Comics #10, published in November 1940 by the Better/Standard/Nedor house. It's difficult to find really interesting costumed villains in Golden Age comics some times so I really liked this one. In the story he was actually a character in a stage play which was in rehearsal. After a certain line is delivered the disguised actor is suppose to fire a gun loaded with blanks at another actor but, and you probably already guessed it, the gun was actually loaded with real bullets. When they find the actor who was playing Black Death backstage he claims not to remember anything. Turns out the theater owner was the real killer wearing the Black Death disguise and had drugged the actor playing the part. His motive seemed a bit obscure to me but had something to do with the female star of the show, who he had also kidnapped - what some guys won't do to get a date. Anyway, the Woman in Red solves the case and brings to justice a really interesting villain. The suit looks like it was made from Black patent leather and is highlighted by the skull on the chest and the facial features which resemble a skull. To my knowledge this was Black Death's only appearance. The figure was a Toy Biz Marvel Silver Surfer painted to match the character.

Creating believable characters – Victoria Cooke
By Victoria Cooke
Characters can make or break a novel. They don't have to be likeable, but they must be believable and interesting. In chick lit, readers should root for your protagonist, lust for your hero and despise your antagonist and getting this right, can be tricky. ♥
Finding inspiration
For me, character ideas come from a range of places. It could be that I've overheard a snippet of a conversation from a passer-by and built a whole character around my interpretation of what that person could be like, or I could see someone sat drinking coffee and imprint a persona on them based on their mannerisms and facial expressions. Sometimes I even merge a few people I've met together and exaggerate their characters.
Creating the likeable protagonist
This can be tricky as there is a fine line between developing a lead character our readers root for and one they find whiny and annoying. Firstly, I try to ensure my characters don't need a man to complete them – they want one. Of course, the ultimate goal in romantic comedy is to bring two people together, and this must also be what the reader wants to see happen. But, we live in a society of empowered women and for me, each female lead must be developed in her own right. For instance, Mel in The Secret to Falling in Love is single because she spent her twenties working towards financial independence. She wanted a family but concentrated on her career first. Hannah in The Holiday Cruise lacked independence but found it after her marriage ended by pushing herself into a new experience. The men are the icing on the cake.
Creating a lovable hero
There are many physical features that can make a hero sexy, it doesn't have to be his chest or bum. For instance, I love a strong forearm. It could be the eyes, the way his hair falls sexily around them or the strain of his shirt around his tattooed bicep, but the physical features are just a small part of the reader buy-in. Personality is vital. So whether your hero is brooding or bumbling, funny or thoughtful he'll need to have endearing qualities such as being a hopeless romantic, protective or having a good sense of humour. Movies and books are great for researching the perfect hero, for me, I like the everyday boy next door with a sense of humour, for others, it could be the damaged guy who needs fixing. My advice here is to have fun playing about with different traits and features.
Adding dimension
As humans, we don't have the same moods, do the same actions or use the same tone consistently so our characters shouldn't either. However, we do sometimes have habits. We chew our nails, talk with our hands or fiddle with our ears and so on. To give our characters dimension, we could therefore include habits. Selection is important as some habits could be irritating or gross to readers – for instance, nobody is going to love a nose-picking heroine but it might be a good trait for an anti-hero/antagonist. It's important not to over-do the reference to habits as they could become a little jarring – lip chewing before every kiss for example. In the secret to Falling in Love, Mel's habit was to over-think. This was a habit that allowed variation each time it was used.
Nobody is perfect, so our characters shouldn't be either. Sometimes in life, we need to scratch beneath the surface to reveal the flaws of another and our characters should be no different. Character flaws can vary to suit the character and story and they give us two benefits. The first is that they add another more interesting dimension to the characters, and the second is that they can either propel the story or create a barrier to the protagonist's goal.
Don't forget your supporting cast. The minor characters in your story are there to propel your story. They break up inner monologue and either push the protagonist towards their goal or act with the antagonist to prevent it. I personally love an outspoken friend!
For me, developing characters is the most enjoyable part of writing and getting to know and understand them is what really drives my stories forward. On many occasions the characters have driven the plot, steering in in a different direction to my plan. I love seeing where they take me.
Victoria Cooke grew up in the city of Manchester before crossing the Pennines in pursuit of a career in education. She now lives in Huddersfield with her husband and two young daughters. Victoria was first published at the tender age of eight by her classroom teacher who saw potential in a six-page story about an invisible man. Since then she's always had a passion for reading and writing, undertaking several writers' courses before completing her first novel, The Secret to Falling in Love, in 2016. Her latest novel, The Holiday Cruise, is out now.

260:- (24-Bit Limited Remaster Edition. John Peel Recordings, Demos & BBC Recordings 1968-72)
For several years in the late '60s and early '70s, Bridget St. John was one of the leading lights of the British folk scene, a gifted vocalist and guitarist who also wrote intelligent, impressionistic songs that impressed many of her contemporaries and made a fan of legendary BBC disc jockey John Peel, who once described her as "the best lady singer/songwriter in the country." She was born Bridget Hobbs in South London on October 4, 1946, and grew up in a musical household where her mother and sisters were all accomplished pianists. St. John took piano lessons at her mother's behest, but she didn't get along with her teacher and quit when she was 11. After studying the viola for a while, St. John bought a guitar with 20 pounds her grandmother gave her shortly before she finished high school. While attending Sheffield University, she learned to play her guitar and fell in with the budding British folk music community, making friends with guitarist and songwriter John Martyn. St. John soon began appearing at leading folk venues in the U.K., where she crossed paths with Nick Drake, Paul Simon, and David Bowie, among others.
Since then, St. John has performed occasionally in the United States, Britain, and Japan, though on a leisurely schedule. In 2010, Cherry Red Records released a single-disc compilation, A Pocketful of Starlight: The Best of Bridget St. John, that included some newly recorded songs alongside her best-known recordings, and the same label in 2015 issued The Dandelion Albums & BBC Recordings Collection, which featured all three albums St. John recorded for Dandelion (with bonus tracks) and highlights from her BBC radio sessions.

Urgent Repair Request
Equipment: Bomag Tandem Heavy Roller.
Location Gold Coast West.
Breakdown description:
Replace Rear Hydraulic Hose to Vibrator Motor
Original hose recently replaced by another company was found to be just a little too short resulting in the hose rubbing on an internal frame member and eventually wearing through the hose's steel braid reinforcing.
Solution: Crimp one end (Metric Fittings) onto hose, refit to machine and accurately measure and cut hose to length ensuring that there is a clearance air gap all around the hose. We also used a tough cover hose for even more abrasion and wear resistance. Top up hydraulic tank with oil and test.
Customer very happy with Quick Response Mobile Service.

Avert Your Eyes!
This is a grinchly post.
I'm not in the holiday mood. Whatever that is. I'm not happy about this Christmas at all.
I've tried. Really I have.
I'm just not into it.
Let me count the ways:
On the parental end, I've got my Mother who overdramatizes every little thing. A simple Christmas Eve dinner with friends has bloomed into a Christmas Eve dinner party for 20. Not at her house, but at our friends house. The one friend has MS and is now confined to a scooter to get around. Their house is far more suited for the scooter than my Mother's, hence the decision to have it there. But of course, Moms is blowing it out of proportion, and her last email ended with, "Together we'll survive this." What the fuck? It's only a dinner party. Save the talk of surviving for something a little more serious, willya? Plus she's all hot to trot for me to make her jewelry for Christmas. Even though she's been making 'helpful' suggestions on making my jewelry better. I'm tempted to give her some beads and supplies and say, "Here. You do it. You seem to know what you're doing." But I won't.
And speaking of beads. A tad over 200 bucks in supplies later, the big PMC clay project I was working on is officially declared busted. I consulted with a local teacher of the art, and she said I was doing everything right. So I'm not sure why it didn't work out. I made it to the final stage of the project Sunday. It was being polished, and shined to be extra beautiful, and it broke. Yes. Broke. I just stood there with the two pieces in my hand. Then I took everything and put it away. By the end of Sunday afternoon, I had all the beads, tools, findings, clay, books, EVERYTHING in a big pile in the living room. Obbie came home and said, "Honey, what are you doing?" "I quit. Fuck this, I'm not an artist. I can't make anything. I quit." Which wigged him out pretty hard. Of course, he didn't offer an encouragement, or anything like that, he just looked at me. I spent 5 hours that day sorting and counting and repackaging a shitload of beads. I'm not quitting, just regrouping. Without beads, I'd be just Fat Amy. With beads, it's Fat Amy Who Makes Jewelry. It sounds a little better, I suppose.
After the great PMC clay project fuckup, money is rather tight this year. Tight for me anyway. There are lots of people out there who are in more dire straits than me, so I am not going to bitch and moan too much. I don't have kids and I don't have to worry about them getting a nice Christmas. Instead, I'm hoping the little bit of oil in the tank will stretch until the New Year when I can call in an order for the minimum. I am hoping that the small amount of gifts, both made and bought, will be enough for family and friends. I am hoping that fortunes will change for people near and dear to me.
Which leads me to the next reason.
The crass commercialism of Christmas. I work near two malls. Every day since Thanksgiving, the traffic has been madness. People are rude and boorish, both in vehicular traffic and on foot. Hurry, hurry, hurry! I can't tell you how many times I've had people cut out in front of me (very closely) or have ridden up my back bumper because I'm doing the speed limit. It's impossible to go anywhere at lunchtime because everyone is the world is using their lunch hour to 'get a little shopping done.' I don't know if it's because I'm kind of broke this year but the whole 'gotta buy it' mentality is really getting to me. Between people standing in line in tents overnight for a gamebox TOY, or pushing and shoving to get to a 250 dollar plastic horse, and the car ads touting 'Lexus, the perfect gift' and the 200 dollar phones 'that would make great stocking stuffers'....what the hell, people!!! Stocking stuffers are candy and trial size bottles of shampoo and funny little things! Not Razr phones for Cripes Sakes. This is absurd. We have turned into such a culture of grabby, greedy people we've lost sight of what Christmas is.
So basically, I'm over it. I may just go to church on Christmas eve and hope that the Christmas spirit will work its way into my nasty self. Because right now, I'm so blind by the whole disgusting mess that Silent Night, Holy Night is but a fond memory. I keep trying to go back to the Christmases of my yoot, but my Mother has managed to queer those for me as well. (Once I mentioned to her how cool it was that my Bro and I had such All American Christmases. She then informed me that I didn't know about the fighting, the drunks, the undercurrent of hatred that ran beneath what we kids thought was a great Christmas. Uh, thanks for that, Mom.)

Listening to the speech that Ken Ulman made on Monday, June 3 I was struck by his passion for Columbia. It is the same passion I have felt living in Columbia for 40 years. I too have loved this planned city that treats people equally.
As proud as I am seeing one of our own named to the top of the ticket I am imbued with a sense of unease. One of the reasons many people came to Columbia was to live in a well thought out and carefully planned community. Columbia was the antidote to the hodgepodge exemplified by routes 1 and 40 and to escape the insidious and unethical practice of redlining!
Fast forward to 2012, when I learned of a process allowed by the Howard County Department of Planning and Zoning that effectively circumvent the land use, planning and development controls that are critical to maintaining Columbia. Overriding these rules and allowing development that will lead to blight in our villages and exacerbate congestion on our beautiful interconnecting parkways.

Yesterday I was working outside in the snow, when my sock started getting wet. Uh oh, I had worn a hole in my first pair of Red Wing boots, they had lasted me years. Thankfully, Nick was headed to town to get some supplies, so picked me up a new pair.
I love my Lady Red Wings. They are strong, durable, comfortable, waterproof, and well, the perfect work boot for me to wear on the farm. Best of all, they are made right here in Minnesota! Red Wings are Nick's boot of choice too, the men's style though, of course.
Disclaimer: Red Wing Boots in no way compensated me for this blog post, I just really like my Lady Red Wings!

I was speaking with another member of the community about general DotNetNuke stuff, and the conversation turned to modules. It was mentioned that there wasn't a single known open source module that offered the ability to integrate content sliders or banner rotators into your DNN website. There are of course a ton of ways to implement such a feature. Snowcovered has numerous modules that allow you to do this. So, I decided to create a nice and easy one for the Forge.
You may or may not be aware of a highly useful and engaging third party comment platform called Disqus. Disqus was created and founded in 2007 to allow websites to replace their comment engines with one that offers a much simpler and socially enabled alternative. With features like single sign on, centralized comment management and viewing, enhanced spam controls, consistent cross-site standards, and being able to use the same comment identity and information across multiple sites, it's a no-brainer to want to use Disqus as your comment engine of choice. So, I chose to build a module to integrate it into DotNetNuke.
If you've been following my activities on Twitter or in the Forge, then you already have an idea of what the title of this blog entry is referencing. As of the writing of this post, I've had 5 different projects updated to be specifically installed on DotNetNuke 6.0. I was more than excited to get my most popular open source projects updated, to say the least.
I know it hasn't been that long since the last release, but it certainly feels like it. The last release of the Lightbox Gallery module was in February of this year – 5 months ago. Okay… Maybe that is a long time after all… The newest release is here though!
I knew the challenges when I first took over the Media Module. In it's first series of releases, it was built to make it easy to simply add an image on a page in DotNetNuke. Eventually, it was extended to also allow you to display videos in nearly the same way. Unfortunately, for many end-users, it's just as easy to simply add the requisite HTML code to the Text/HTML Module to display all of the media types that the module was supporting (depending on the user, of course).
It's that time again… The Lightbox Gallery module for DotNetNuke needed some attention. There were a few minor bugs that were annoying people that needed to be fixed, and a couple of enhancements as well.
I cannot honestly tell you where the time has gone. I first embarked upon doing something about the Media Module as a team member in 2008. Unfortunately, for many reasons, the module never really was updated until last year. I was able to get a release out the door last June. Somehow, nearly a year has flown by since that release. Where did the time go?!! Well, I was able to put my head down a few times over the past few months, and I am very happy to say that I have another release nearly ready for the release tracker.
There should be a new release of the Media Module submitted to the release tracker by the end of the month. There are many really cool updates coming to this release, but I would very much like to remove a feature – that is, if it doesn't have an adverse impact upon anyone that is currently using the module.

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend so far :) I know I am......beautiful sunny morning here in the PNW. A bit breezy and cold but sunny and blue skies. No better way to start your day with a cup of fresh brewed coffee in hand :)
I am excited to say that I've got yet another completed project off my list now. I've been working over the past few months on the wedding items (like you don't already know that from all my posts right?? lol) and last night I finally finished all the totes that are for the bridesmaids. I had made a few earlier and wasn't totally happy with them due to how the vinyl or paint was looking so I broke down and ordered some iron on vinyl and oh my goodness..... I love it!!! So quick and easy and it looks so much better!!

What happened to the Australia I knew?
A comment highlighted in the newsletter on retirement affordability made me wonder what happened to the country that valued a fair go for all and the idea that Jack is as good as his master.
The comment was attributed to Suzanne:
"To reach retirement age and yet be totally reliant on welfare smacks of irresponsibility bordering on stupidity. Anybody who finds him or herself in just such a situation is in no wise position to be placing further demands on the public purse."
The first comment is obvious: the aged pension is not welfare. But more importantly why is this attitude that demonises those who have not made a fortune during their working life allowed to flourish?
I am relatively affluent because I served three decades in a branch of the ADF, 12 months of which was in Vietnam. That set me up with a defined benefit superannuation that would be the envy of people these days forced to accumulate superannuation to pay for whatever their lifespan might be. And then thanks to Little Johnny Howard's middle class welfare splurge I have a DVA Gold Card that covers health costs. I thank Providence for my good fortune, but I do not demonise and cast aspertions on those less fortunate.
I am not wanting to denigrate Suzanne for her comments, but rather to question the thoughts behind those heartless comments to ask what has Australia come to? Do we want to develop the same degree of compassionless dog eat dog capitalism that appears to be the norm and the societal aspiration in the US?
Let's encourage a fair go and drop the elitist style encouragement of riches accumulation at the expense of your fellow Australians - notably through rorting the tax law.

In 1999 the new system of assessing the school graduates of the Republic of Kazakhstan – the Unified National Test (UNT) was introduced in the field of education for the first time. Since that time it has being counted as the most vital and widely used way of assessing the Kazakhstani school leavers and the admission test to higher educational institutions (OECD, 2014). However, it is argued that there are some challenges regarding the UNT, they are: checking the quality of knowledge, and psychological pressure for school graduates.
To begin with, one of the main purposes of the UNT is assessing the quality of school graduates' knowledge. However, the test is not likely to be check students' real knowledge as its questions are designed to check only 'factual' knowledge rather than quality. Commenting this issue, Kanat Nurov, the representative of the scientific and educational portal "Aspandau", said it was high time to exclude the questions asking the facts because they did not make students ready for problem solving (ENT sposobstvuet "utechke mozgov", 2013). He suggested it would be better to replace such questions with real life tasks which students could use in their future lives. Looking at the UNT questions, one can notice without any obstacles that mr Nurov is absolutely right, and I suppose this issue should be dwelled on.
Another problem which the UNT faces with is that many Kazakhstani school graduates are pushed psychologically during both pilot and actual testing. Based on my personal experience, I can say that even if student knows the right answer for the task, he/she may choose wrong answer because of psychological pressure. For instance, I saw personally how some students started crying during the test because they studied the material, but could not remember each small detail. Moreover, unfortunately, sometimes tragic occasions used to take place after the UNT: some school graduates are seemed to suicide after getting the results of the high stake test.
Summing up, the UNT is being paid a lot of attention nowadays. Different stakeholders are raising the question of the reliability and validity of the UNT. Some people tend to defend the Unified National Testing system, saying that it is the most honest way of checking pupils' knowledge, while others are completely against the UNT, asserting that it is forcing the pupils to learn by heart only the answers to particular questions without broadening their knowledge. And what is your opinion in this point? Should it be replaced by other forms of external assessment or not?

life's little irritations #4
It's more than a little irritating when you wake up at 3:30 am from a nice "snuggling with the kitty" kind of sleep because said kitty has just forcefully thrown himself off the bed and has begun horking up something on your bedroom carpet.
Then when you come back with paper towels to clean it up, you first, step in the hork dribbles in the hall, second, realize there's no way you can clean it properly in the middle of the night and third, you cannot possibly go back to bed with the hork remnants 2 feet away. Gag.
Not only do you have to go in search of a new place to sleep but now so does dh after you've awakened him, blinded him with the light, and made him aware of the smell. Heh. I just can't suffer alone now can I?
So should I be grateful to dear George that he didn't puke on the bed, or annoyed at him for eating mice and grass and all those things that make him vomitous in the first place? Both I think.
But could you stay mad at this face?

stuffed mushrooms
Well, I've gardening so much lately that my time for cooking has been very limited and my meal creativity has been sorely lacking. One day last week I was wandering the grocery aisles looking for inspiration and found some very nice large white mushrooms and in the meat department there was some fresh chicken breakfast sausage on sale. Hmmm. Any idea where I'm going with this?
I wasn't quite sure how I was going to put it all together, but when I got home I remembered I had a package of cream cheese and some garlicy/cheesy dip mix from tastefully simple (but any flavor dip mix would work!) I mixed up the dry dip mix with the cream cheese (room temp for ease in mixing) in a large bowl, and stuck it in the fridge to meld the flavors.
Preheat your oven to about 325.
Next, wash and dry the mushrooms well. I usually fill a bowl with cold water and a good splash of vinegar and let them soak for a minute to get all the dirt off. When they're dry, you can snap off the stems and set them aside for soup or something. Sometimes, not enough snaps off so I just take a knife or a small spoon and scrape out a little more. You want lots of room for the filling. If any of the mushrooms crack a bit – no worries – use them anyway!
Line a cookie sheet with foil and put your mushrooms on hole side up. Bake for 10-15 minutes. When you pull them out of the oven you will notice they are full of water. You need to get rid of all the liquid. I just use a paper towel and dip them in each individually until the liquid is soaked up. You can do your initial cooking with the mushrooms upside down so they drain better, but then you'll have to flip them when they're super hot and delicate (and slippery!) – and that's not so easy!
While the mushrooms are baking you can start the sausage.
The sausage was the loose kind without the casings, but it you only have the kind with the casings just strip the meat out and throw the casing away before you cook them. I just throw the sausage in a frying pan and drain off the fat when it's done. Make sure you break up the meat pretty fine while you're cooking. You don't want huge chunks.
Take your dip out of the fridge and dump the hot (drained) sausage into it and mix all together. The heat from the sausage will make it really easy to work with.
Now you just need to put a heap of stuffing in the mushrooms! I also put a bit of provolone on the very top of each one for a nice bit of melty goodness.
Stick the pan back in the oven for another 10 minutes or so – use your judgement – if the cheese is nicely melted and maybe even a little browned on top – they're ready. Honestly, there's no rules on this one – just whenever it seems hot enough.
These mushrooms were super yummy, made a nice meal, and it gave me lots of ideas on variations:
If I were to use hot italian sausage I would probably use plain cream cheese (no extra seasonings.)
If I used sundried tomato and basil chicken sausage (my favorite!) I would add some italian seasonings to the cream cheese.
Any good melting cheese on the top would work – mozzarella, white american, whatever, I just happened to have provolone on hand. Also, using sliced cheese is easier than shredded on this – it won't fall off the top.
If I made this for company I might use the smaller button mushrooms for bite size portions, and I would put a bit of parsley, rosemary or basil leaf etc. on top for a pretty effect. By the way, neither dh or the boy would try this one – but that meant more for me!
Ingredient list:
- 2 or 3 packs of fresh large white button mushrooms (depending on the size of the packs err on the side of more mushrooms – you'll be surprised how far a lb of meat will go)
- 1 lb or so fresh sausage, any flavor, sans casings
- 1 package cream cheese (I'm sure the light kind would work well too)
- 1 package dry dip mix (garlic or ranch or italian, the variations are endless, mmm maybe pesto!)
- a couple slices of cheese (again – whatever you have on hand!)
That's it! So easy!

the airman
Everyone, I'd like to introduce my nephew Nate, a newly graduated Airman in the Air Force! I'd post one of his super freaking cute baby pictures but he probably learned how to kill with his pinky finger, or something like that, while he was in basic, and I'm just not willing to risk it. No really, it's because I don't have any of him that don't also include me and there's NO WAY I'm posting evidence of my big 80's 90's hair. (Okay, I still have big hair, but whatever.)
Anyway, he just moved to Pensacola but doesn't have off base privileges yet and so he's been bored all week, waiting for his next round of classes to start. He's so bored he's shopping online on his cellphone because he doesn't even have his computer yet. Yesterday his ennui was soooo bad I risked my secret identity and sent him my blog to read. Heh. You just know a 20 year old man (dang – just saying that makes me feel really old) is just going love reading about his auntie's life of motherhood and gardening. I haven't heard from him since this message last night: "LOL your blog lolol." I'm pretty sure he's laughing at me not with me, eh Nate? Hmm, I may have sent him into a glassy eyed stupor with my writing.
So now, everyone wave hi, and leave a comment for Nate! I'll make sure he comes back to read them!!!
edited to add: well darn it, none of the comments came over when I moved my blog!

just an update
I have a great day today! I neglected everything all day in order for my boy and I to have a playdate with my sister and her boy! I just love days like that, unplanned and just perfect. (Thank you dear, for coming to visit us!) Not only that, but she brought me plants! And helped me plant them! What could be better 😉
I've spent this evening working on my other website, the one for work. Meh. It's hard. I want it to be perfect and I want to fuss with it, but, because of the platform it's on there are a number of things I don't know how to do myself. It's a bit frustrating. DH, aka my own personal technogeek, will have time this weekend to work on it, but in the meantime, dang….I just want to get it done!! Sorry honey! Mostly it's because I'm excited about it, and I think it's really starting to come together the way I envisioned. It promise to reveal it here first just as soon as it's ready to launch!
ps. I finished a book last night! I won't, however, tell you what it was, cause I'm embarrassed, but I did finish it! Now I'll start on something a little more worthy. heh. (if you believe that….)

only bad thing about spring
Can you guess what it is?! It's shopping for summer clothes of course! I just spent almost the entire day trudging driving from one store to another, dragging my poor kid along for the very hot drive. First, let me just what happened to SPRING? We went from snow storms to 80 degrees in 2 weeks!!
Anyway, have you seen the crap they call clothes in the stores right now? I'm sorry but I didn't look good in maternity clothes when I was pregnant! Why the heck would I want to wear them now? Stupid empire waists. They don't even look good on the mannequins! Hello, anyone listening??
Really, it's no wonder I'm stuck in a rut of t-shirts and jeans, and apparently I won't be changing that anytime soon…blech.

books, books, and eh
I just tried to write a post about why I don't read as many books as I used to. The basic premise was that I just don't have the same attention span since I've been a mother as I did when I was younger. Problem is, I got bored writing it. See? Lack of focus! <Sigh.> Anyway. I've really been trying hard to read more books. (As opposed to all the other brainless crap I do.) I've got a stack waiting for me to dive it. Let's just see if I can unplug more often so I can.
Maybe that'll be my Earth Day pledge. Turn off the TV, put the computer to sleep, and pick up a novel.

wherein I momentarily reveal myself
I am honored to be tagged by Schmutzie for the "7 random weird things about me meme" that's been going around the blogosphere in a few different forms. Most everyone did it looong before I even had a blog and in my stalking surfing I've giggled at many of them, but frankly Schmutzie's post really was the weirdest! I'm not sure I can live up to that but I'll give it a try…
7 Random/Weird Things About Me
1. Whenever I let my kid watch Power Rangers, I always watch it with him, under the pretense that, you know, you should monitor your kid's view habits. But secretly, I love those shows. I actually get into the story lines, and if an episode doesn't record for some reason, I search it out on you tube so we can catch up. For the record, Dinothunder is the best season.
2. I am completely addicted to salmon cream cheese. No, not like good lox and bagels kind of thing. But the salmon flavored philly brand stuff. The fake stuff. I'll eat it on bagels, crackers, as a dip for chips, you name it. Lucky for my arteries there is only one store within decent driving distance that sells it, and I only let myself go there once a month or so or I would want it every. single. day. I know, ewww.
3. I read trashy romance novels, a lot. I just can't help it. I go through phases with other genres, but I keep going back to romance. Once in awhile I read an O book club book, just so if someone asks me what I've been reading I have something decent to say. It's not like I'm gonna tell anyone I own almost every Nora Roberts book ever written. Except I just did didn't I?
4. I hate hate hate the Birthday Song. I hate singing it, and I hate having it sung to me. I always have. I've very rarely ever told anyone that, and I've never done so in front of my son. For the last three out of his only five little years he's begged me me not to let anyone sing it to him. I now hate that I've somehow passed this on to my kid.
5. I have a terrible blog crush on Wil Wheaton. Yes, that Wil Wheaton. Which leads me to admit my love for scifi. I grew up on all things Star Trek, Star Wars, Tolkien, etc. My book scifi love is and always will be Raymond Feist, (long live Pug!) My tv scifi love is forever reserved for Stargate SG1, (and Daniel Jackson baby!) and I am embarrassingly sad at it's demise.
6. I am hopelessly in love with the internet. You couldn't tell could you? It's my down time after the boy goes to bed, and where I go for my break in the middle of the day. You already know I blog surf, but you don't really know the extent of it – can we say about 50 rss feeds? You also don't know I am obsessed with keeping up with Twitter, though I rarely post cause I don't know what to say. I constantly refresh my Facebook scrabulous page to see if it's my turn on any of my games. I feel completely inadequate on Linkedin cause apparently only a few of my friends actually know what that is. I go to Rachel Ray's website regularly to sign up for giveaways – cause I just know I'm gonna win something one of these days! I haven't read a real newspaper in ages cause I get all my news online. Every little thing I do for work is done on the www, so there I have no choice, but frankly, I have more fun doing my job than anyone really should. The list could go one, but I'm sure you already stopped reading…
7. I swore to myself if I ever started a blog I would never do a meme. But it was actually more flattering to be tagged than you might think. So here I am. And having more fun than I expected!
So reading back through these, it occurs to me that I'm not so much weird, as I am a dork. I've actually known that ever since I was on the math team in high school (#8?) but seeing all this in writing – it's a little painful!
I'm supposed to tag like 5 people or something, but I don't really know 5 bloggers well enough to do that, (I'm a little shy that way) so I tag SouthernGirlinNH because I adore her, and I would tag the awesome Kristen but I know she's done this one before, (but you can do it again if you want to!) and I tag any of my real life friends who want to get on board and start a blog (so I can read as much about you as you read about me!)
Hey, at least get on Facebook, would you? So I can beat you at scrabble!

I don't have coherent thoughts today. So I'll ramble instead. It'll be like you're having a real life conversation with me, cause you know I ramble…not to mention monopolize the conversation. Damn, this really is the perfect medium for me. <lots of heads nodding out there>
I have a pain in my neck. Right down at the base, between my shoulder blades. Too much raking yesterday. I was working on cleaning out the flower beds, getting them ready to transplant some of my seedlings soon. Guess it won't be planting them for at least a couple of days now. Guess I can't clean either…well, I don't do that anyway.
I drove past my local nursery a couple of days ago. I almost drooled at the pansies they had out. Not that I particularly love pansies, but because, omg, the color! I might have to go pick up a few to brighten things up a bit while I wait for my perennials to bloom. I had to stop myself from buying some at at home improvement big box when I was there for other things. I'd rather give my money to the small local nursery but oh I so wanted immediate gratification! I know I'm a dork, it's okay if you're thinking that…
Pause while I get some coffee, k? Go look at some freaking cute kitties, but you have to come right back cause I have more to say.
Well I'm back. Did you like that? It's the boy's favorite blog. So, while I was making coffee I had to stop and unload and reload the dishwasher. The dishwasher that someone in this house led me to believe was already unloaded and instead only unloaded the silverware basket. That helps me…not at all.
I neglected things here yesterday because I was working on my other website design. I need a work related site and I need it soon. I don't know if I'll ever link to it from here though. I'm still conflicted about the whole secret identity thing. (hee hee secret identity – am I a superhero or what?) At least half of you reading are all: secret, huh? But I know who you are….well yes, but I only told a select few friends, and only one of my many siblings. There are other people coming here that I don't know at all, and that's great, but, well, you know.
Anyway, that's all really a conversation for another day. Back to my other website. I'm a photo editor, so it has to actually have photos in the design. I'd like to just pick a pre-made design cause I don't, we don't, DH doesn't have time to redo the whole thing. I thought that was one of the perks of having a technogeek for a husband, but, uh, guess not. (He has his own website to work on – and it's in worse shape than mine!) Well, the pre-made designs aren't all that. I think I've chosen the best possible, and it should work with the b/w images I want to use on it. In any case, that's what I'm working on in my free time. Cause I have so much of it. (Well, I do if I skip blog surfing!)
The reason I want my work website ready is because I can't get my business cards made until I do, and I can't start marketing myself until I have both. Right now I only have one client that I work for, and even though I love them and they keep me very busy, I still have this nagging doubt that the jobs will continue to be there. The two people who hire me the most may someday suddenly not work there anymore, and if they left would their replacements call on me or some other freelancer they like more? I just don't know. So, I need to be prepared to get new clients in a hurry. Sigh. One of the very few drawbacks to doing contract work instead of being a real employee.
In other news, we've signed the boy up to play t-ball this spring. He did really well with soccer in the fall but we thought we'd try something different. I had to go to a sports store yesterday to pick up a few supplies since his first practice is this weekend. So I go him a new tee, a good one this time instead of plastic wallyworld crap (like the one that broke.) Luckily a friend of dh's gave him a cute little bat and I had a glove that I picked up last summer. Well two gloves, a righty and a lefty. He can't seem to decide what he is. I think it's going to be lefty though. He writes with his left and eats with his right. Weird. I digress, again. So the only other piece of equipment he needed? A cup. Heh. I know nothing. So of course we had to ask for help. I'm still getting over it.
The best part about t-ball? And the most shocking development in the history of my marriage? DH volunteered to be the assistant coach! Yay! I'm off the hook! Yes, I was thinking of volunteering. I loved, loved, playing softball and I want my kid to love baseball. However, I am overly bossy and overly competitive. No, really. You didn't know that? And it's only freaking t-ball. So really, its better if I keep my big mouth shut, and luckily DH knows that without saying it, and hopefully his calmness will prevail on the field. Plus, it's gonna be really cute! (Hey, if you're still reading then you're as much of a dork as me so get over it.)
Okay, that might be all I have for rambling this morning. Maybe. Probably not. But I need to send some emails now…
ps. Did anyone else see the Biggest Loser finale? Woohooo! I won't spoil it for you if you didn't see it…but seriously woohoo! We can do spoilers in the comments…

hens and chicks!
I have hens and chicks, or at least the hens! I hope to have the chicks late summer or next year.
No, I'm not a farmer, and they're not animals. They're plants, and they survived the winter! Yay!
This is a hen:
isn't it pretty!? The chicks are the offspring they'll have as they start to spread. If the hens bloom this year, and I hope so, the main plant may die off but the babies will bloom sometime in the next few years. After they're established I should get some blooms every year. I just planted these last spring, out of my mother's garden.
It was an experiment in this spot – that's why I'm excited they survived the winter. I put the hen and chicks along with some stonecrop and 2 kinds of sedum (all succulents) down by the mailbox. If the rest of my property feels like a rainforest, the area near the road feels like a desert. Lots of sun, no shade, and tons of sand from the winter storms have built up to create an inhospitable environment. So I put in desert plants of course! I was afraid they didn't make it, but on Saturday I raked away a couple inches of leaves from last fall (left there to protect them) and at least an inch or more of new sand from this winter, and there they were! Now I can invest in some more succulents knowing I'm not wasting my money.
I spent a couple hours yesterday transplanting the lilies that were hidden behind the forsythia. Finally! I moved those to the treeline near the road as well. They'll get the sun they want but shouldn't get burned up being near the trees. They never bloomed when they were in the back woods – of course they never got any sun – so I have no idea what color they'll be. I have many different daylilies here, mostly variegated orange/maroon and some yellow. I don't think I've seen a plain orange one yet. I'm very curious and I'll be sure to post pictures as soon as they bloom. Cause you're just dying to find out too, right, right? hello?
This is my rock wall:
This is my rock wall sliding down a hill. <sigh>
These are very heavy rocks. I tried to lift one and well, I'm a strong woman, but forget it.
My choices are to convince dh to rebuild it for me, uh huh, or to use what's there as the base and get more rocks to build up. I think I'm gonna have to go with option 2.
Oh, see the little bit of green in the photo. That's not moss. That's the rest of my daylilies! I love them here amongst the rocks!

Looky Looky! I got very first bloggy badge!
I love it 🙂
My free rice post was mentioned on the Houston Chronicle blog Good Mom/Bad Mom this morning! Thanks Min and Jenny! If you've never read either of them, you must go now. Especially if you need a good laugh – but go pee first, cause damn they're funny.
Yes, if you're counting, this is my third post for today. But I'm not obsessed or anything.

Statistical Simulation: Power Method Polynomials and Other Transformations(2010)
AbstractAlthough power method polynomials based on the standard normal distributions have been used in many different contexts for the past 30 years, it was not until recently that the probability density function (pdf) and cumulative distribution function (cdf) were derived and made available. Focusing on both univariate and multivariate nonnormal data generation, Statistical Simulation: Power Method Polynomials and Other Transformations presents techniques for conducting a Monte Carlo simulation study. It shows how to use power method polynomials for simulating univariate and multivariate nonnormal distributions with specified cumulants and correlation matrices. The book first explores the methodology underlying the power method, before demonstrating this method through examples of standard normal, logistic, and uniform power method pdfs. It also discusses methods for improving the performance of a simulation based on power method polynomials. The book then develops simulation procedures for systems of linear statistical models, intraclass correlation coefficients, and correlated continuous variates and ranks. Numerical examples and results from Monte Carlo simulations illustrate these procedures. The final chapter describes how the g-and-h and generalized lambda distribution (GLD) transformations are special applications of the more general multivariate nonnormal data generation approach. Throughout the text, the author employs Mathematica® in a range of procedures and offers the source code for download online.

We upgraded our cell phones yesterday and I got a Smart phone. I feel smarter already. Well, not really. I feel lucky if I can figure out how to make a simple phone call. It's good thing I have a teenaged daughter to instruct me. But I did discover the game Angry Birds.
And after my daughter downloaded it for me I am now addicted to it. Seriously. I got nothing done today. But I'm getting really good at Angry Birds. And that's an important skill, right. OK maybe not, but it is fun. And it's new and I hope the novelty will wear off soon because I think my family might need food cooked or something. Well I'm off to go to next level on Angry Birds. I have to keep my skills honed.

#Ghana_Premier_League WEEK 11 (2015 season)
Exactly a year ago today, Kotoko coach David Duncan played his first premier league game against Bechem United.
The Porcupine Warriors defeated Bechem 3-1 thanks to a brace from Michael Akuffo and another strike from Emmanuel Asante, who had just joined the club from the hosts.
The win in Bechem ended Kotoko's six-game winless run under both Didi Dramani and Michael Osei. Dramani left after week seven with a draw and Osei as a caretaker coach as played three games in his absence without a win.
Note: Duncan before this game vs Bechem United had recorded a goalless draw vs MC Eulma in Algeria few days before in the Caf Champions League first leg.
Duncan…. underlined why he was called Bohy3ba.
