A semi-truck veered off the road following a crash near Burbank, clipping the side of a farm building where dozens of people were eating lunch.
No one inside the Kiska Farms building was hurt, though the truck leaked diesel fuel onto the property and destroyed some freezers, officials said.
Two drivers from Pasco were injured in the crash and treated at local hospitals.
The crash happened shortly after noon Monday on Highway 124, about two miles west of Highway 12.
The semi was driving east on Highway 124 when a Honda Civic pulled out in front of it while turning, according to the Washington State Patrol. The two vehicles collided.
The semi then went off the road and into the building.
The driver of the truck, Ignacio R. Larios, 58, was taken to Lourdes Medical Center in Pasco, state patrol said. The Civic's driver, Santa T. Hernandez, 21, was treated at Kadlec Regional Medical Center in Richland.
Officials at the scene reported both drivers had minor injuries.
Both vehicles were totaled and towed from the scene.

Web Publishers Predict Increased Spending From Traditional, Brand-Focused Advertisers
Web Publishers Predict Increased Spending From Traditional, Brand-Focused
AdvertisersAdvertising.com's Third Annual Publisher Survey Shows That Branding Is In, Pop-Ups Are Out
Advertising.com, Inc. today released the findings from its third annual survey of online publishers. The study surveyed publishers about their advertising business expectations for 2006. Key results forecast increased spending for online branding by traditional advertisers; increased support for video, rich media and behavioral targeting capabilities; and continued revenue growth from large creative formats.
Brand advertising on the rise; direct response still a mainstayAlthough web-based direct-response advertisers are still expected to account for the largest share of online revenue (58.5%), publishers anticipate increased spending from more traditional, brand-focused advertisers. Publishers are expecting over 32% of revenue to come from these traditional advertisers, up from 26.5% in 2005. And more than 40% of publishers are citing branding as their advertisers' main objective, more than a 100% increase over 2005 predictions.
In addition, for the third consecutive year, publishers are predicting CPM pricing to represent the largest share of revenue - up to 45% from 41% in 2005.
Support grows for sophisticated formats
With direct-response dollars generating the largest share of publisher revenue, the number of publishers supporting contextual advertising is increasing - with approximately 67% of publishers supporting this format, up from 50% in 2005. In addition, as increased spending is anticipated from traditional advertisers, publishers are now supporting more advanced, brand-focused creative capabilities:
- Over 76% of publishers support rich media, up from 69% in 2005
- 35% of publishers support video as opposed to 25% in 2005
- Roughly 30% employ behavioral targeting versus 25% in 2005
In addition, more than 43% of publishers now support streaming content. And of those who do not currently support streaming content, 30% plan to add it in 2006.
"Formats like streaming video give advertisers the ability to connect with consumers on an emotional, TV-like level, while behavioral targeting enables them to easily and selectively reach an in-market audience," says Scott Ferber, CEO of Advertising.com. "That unique combination of impact and efficiency is driving more dollars online and publishers are realizing the advantages of these powerful formats."
Text links dominate, pop-ups dwindle
In terms of creative trends, text links are again predicted to dominate, ranking as the most profitable ad unit for publishers. Standard banner ads and large rectangles are predicted to be key revenue drivers in 2006, with 15.9% and 14.6% of publishers (respectively) predicting the most revenue from these sizes. Not surprisingly, pop-ups are on the decline for the first time in three years and are not expected to be profitable.
Methodology: In January 2006, web publishers who were actively working with Advertising.com were asked to complete an online survey about their advertising business outlook for the coming year. Advertising.com's web network includes over 1,000 publishers and reaches more than 138 million unique visitors. Data was gathered from January 9 through January 16, 2006. Of the respondents, 47% were C-level executives, 17% were VPs or heads of sales, and 10% were media planners or buyers.

Hugs Raise Vibration
by Debbie Z. Lattuga
People are always asking me what they can do to raise their vibration. We all know that to be a master manifester requires a high level of vibration. But so many people get stuck every day with the 'daily grind'.
And we all know the recommendations introduced in The Secret. Do your visualizations, make vision boards, meditate and generally try to feel good in every moment.
Hugging Raises Your Vibration
The short cut to raising your vibration is hugging. According to a study done by the University of Kansas, hugging:
Feels good dispels loneliness helps us overcome fears opens doors to feelings helps build self-esteem fosters altruism curbs your appetite eases tension helps fight insomnia affirms our physical being increases hemoglobin blood counts offers a healthy, safe alternative to alcohol and drugs imparts feelings of belonging effects keeps on working, even once the hug is over helps relieve physical pain heals.
I've highlighted a couple of things I think are really significant.
Hugging Eases Tension
Hugging just plain feels good. Studies show that hugging lowers blood pressure.
Hugging Increases Hemoglobin count
Hemoglobin carries oxygen from our lungs to all of our cells. More hemoglobin means our bodies work more efficiently. This reduces the effects of stress on our bodies.
Hugging Keeps on Working
These physical and emotional improvements to our bodies last longer than the hug.
So if you could hug frequently throughout the day, imagine how much better you'd feel.
One More Hugging Secret
There is one more secret benefit of hugging. Research has shown that an act of kindness produces the same effects as hugging. Both the hugger and huggee receive the benefits listed above. But the added bonus, is that anyone witnessing the hug receives the same benefits. The exact same increase in hemoglobin, reduction in blood pressure, and release of tension.
So by hugging in public you actually raise the vibration of everyone around you.
So here is my hug to you. Pass it around.

Jucy Adventure - The Finale
We awoke again Monday morning at Beachside Holiday Park but sadly no dolphins greeted us this morning! We showered, packed up the Jucy, and headed into Paihia for breakfast. We ended up enjoying breakfast pies and donuts at Paihia Meats and Pies with a perfect view of the bay from our sidewalk table. We headed out in the Jucy with no set agenda other than making it back to Auckland in time for bed!

When a flock of birds fly in the sky they almost seem like a fluid that moves in the air. The movement of a collection of bacteria can also be remarkably similar to the movement of a liquid or gas. What about stampeding buffalo herds? Look at them from a distance (waking side by side with a herd of buffalo is probably not a good idea) and you will see that they also bear a striking resemblance to a gas of particles. And for a physicist this resemblance was too strong to be ignored! They stated studying these systems, that came to be known as active matter, using the same tools they would use to study a gas of particles.
Figure 1. A flock of birds are an example of active matter.
Active matter systems are large assemblies of individual unities (birds, bacteria, buffalos) that dissipate energy. As the birds fly in the air, for example, they use energy to produce mechanical work. This constant consumption of energy is what brings the "active" to active matter and is what makes it so challenging to study them.
A (non-active) gas of particles can be described and understood using thermodynamics and statistical physics. If this gas is in equilibrium, then equilibrium statistical physics can be used to model them. Active matter is, by it's own definition, out of equilibrium. The particles consume energy constantly and therefore are constantly changing the inner properties of the matter. In spite of that, physicists have been quite successful at modeling active matter using tools and concepts of equilibrium statistical physics, such as pressure and temperature. But the limits of this application are heavily debated.
Figure 2. Can active matter be described by equilibrium statistical mechanics?
When the birds interact with each other, for example, a collective behavior can emerge that is unlike anything possible with an equilibrium system. However, it can be quite challenging to identify precisely the signature of non-equilibrium physics in their emerging properties. Pinpointing when non equilibrium properties arise is essential to fully understand and describe the behavior of active matter.
In order to better learn when equilibrium physics can or cannot be applied to active matter, Étienne Fodor from the University of Paris Diderot (France), and colleagues, analyzed an active matter model consisting of self propelled particles. They used theoretical tools to evaluate the behavior of this system.
The model consists of self-propelled particles that are constantly moving and dissipating their energy through the interaction with a surrounding fluid. By changing the parameters of the model it is possible to obtain particles with different "persistent times". This corresponds to the time it would take for the particle motion to appear random. When the persistence time is close to zero the motion appears random rather than directed. They behave like particles moving in a liquid, changing the direction of the movement due to the collision with the molecules in the fluid (Brownian motion). This is a situation that can be described using equilibrium statistical physics. When the persistent times are very long then it is possible to observe truly non-equilibrium effects. Particles with an intermediate persistence time are more difficult to deal with. Are they random or not?
Fodor and colleagues found that for intermediate persistence times the system is in an effective equilibrium. They have features of an equilibrium system, such as reversible dynamics for the particles and no entropy production. However they cannot be described via a Boltzmann distribution, which is used to describe systems in thermal equilibrium. According to the tests done by the scientists, equilibrium concepts and methods can be employed in this intermediate regime but the system is not in a thermal equilibrium.
Other self-propelled particle models still need to be evaluated to determine if the researchers' findings are general. However, the team's analysis already provides preliminary guidelines for when equilibrium statistics can be used to describe an active matter system.

text: German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel urged the US to not break the nuclear deal with Iran, since it would make North Korea unlikely to comply with an international treaty concerning its nuclear programme, when speaking from a press conference in Berlin on Monday. Gabriel stated that calling the Iran deal into question — the «only deal that allows worldwide renunciation of nuclear weapons... Еще» — would damage the possibility of North Korea agreeing to a new deal. Gabriel expressed Germany's willingness to increase diplomatic pressure on Tehran, but was firm in stating that «we don't want the nuclear agreement to be damaged.» Gabriel also expressed hope in an improvement of Germany-Turkey relations, on the condition that «those who are innocently imprisoned are released.» With regards to the Catalan referendum crisis in Spain, Gabriel stressed the importance of dialogue «without preconditions.» The nuclear deal with Iran, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was signed in 2015 by the P5+1 group (China, France, Germany, Russia, the UK, and the US) and the European Union.

When i was about 18/19 my grandparents, whom I adored, acquired the latest in the traditional family line of golden retrievers. It must have been around easter time I think, i was home (because i always considered their house to be my home) during college break. I dumped down my bags and picked up the small wriggly thing
Me: Well hello there (scrunching my face into soft fur) where's my gorgeous little puppy?
Grandma: Oh for heaven's sake, dodo, why have you always got to own everything!
Yesterday at work:
My Boss: Dodo, I have to go out for the rest of the week, I need you to take ownership of X, Y and Z (very high profile) projects for me
22.30 this evening. I get home from work. I dumped down my bags and picked up the small wriggly yellow thing
Me: Well hello there (scrunching my face into soft fur) where's my gorgeous little puppy?
S: (pretending to wag tail) Here I am!

I realised I was about to start my week with a yrrrrrrr through gritted teeth, so, instead, here's a picture of some lovely legs
Fuzzy on account of it being an evening last week and being taken with my phone, however, the finely turned ankles in the foreground are those of Maj
The hairy, but no less well turned are those of S - he with whom i share all the trappings of adulthood - debt, damp, dog, disappearing waistline. Oh, and P.
But now for my grrrrrrrrrrrr.
We recently bought a pair of new sofas. being the kind of people who have priorities other than filling their home with swanky (however lovely and aspirational) designer items, we shopped around until we found a bargainishous deal at a little independent shop near S parent's home. A lady, Mrs G, who has a deal with big name stores to take the 'seconds', furniture used in photoshoots, tv ads, tv shows, showrooms, etc etc. not used, but not new. It's a hit and miss kind of place, and we went several times before we saw a pair that suited us. I'm really pleased with them and their feather cushionyness. I'm even more pleased since i discovered that in the store they were designed for, their brothers and sisters are selling for upwards of £1000 ($2000 USD) each.
Now. S has a Big Shot big brother with a Big Shot wife. Both directors of a Big Shot firm. They have 2 young sons. They have a big new house which is currently undergoing major renovation work (because, really, the first thing anybody would do on buying a beautiful 1930's detached house with all the original features miraculously intact, would be to gut that puppy, strip out all its character and fill it with white, sharp edged, modern everything. goes without saying)
And I'm finally getting to my point here, honestly.
This weekend we've had S's Dad staying with us. He had seen BSB the previous week and mentioned to him that we'd got some new sofas and where they'd come from
BSB: "Ha Ha, I'm spending so much money on my house that I'll end up getting all my furniture from Mrs G, too, if I'm not careful!"

Tip of the iceberg
So there's this man. Husband of my friend. Father of my daughter's friend. My neighbour of six months. Who I barely know. Who stands in my kitchen on a sunny day and says
"isn't it amazing how often you meet your partner's friends, or the friends of your partner, and find you can't stand them?"
The next day I wait til he's gone out. In one of their two large cars. Neither of which she drives. I ring the bell on the pretext of returning something. She takes an age to come downstairs. She looks awful. She's been playing with her son in his bedroom. Her husband doesn't like to see toys all over the house, so that's mostly where the little guy hangs out. It's 11am. It's been a difficult morning after a difficult night. She knows the centuries thin wall between our homes was not designed with privacy in mind. She has a migraine. She's visibly fading in and out. Turns out she hasn't had so much as a glass of water that morning because she's been entirely preoccupied with keeping the noise level of her son at bare minimum. I go downstairs to make her some tea. There's no milk in the house. There's barely anything in the fridge. I go to the store, get milk, juice, bread. Give her tea, apple juice and drugs. I scoop up her son and his shoes and creep away as she slides down the armchair in his room.

First - all you bloggy doggy people - what's with the alternating 'nice' firmish turds that are easy to pluck from the lawn with the sloppy all reddish gravy round the edges ones? I'm assuming it's to do with how much garden she's managed to nibble in any given hour?
(sorry - i realise it wasn't really necessary to appropriate the word gravy there, but I wanted you to get a proper idea of the consistency I'm talking about)
We're seeing the vet at the weekend for her next shot, so we can check it out.
Second thing - a good, kid enjoying its fruit type messy. An 'I had a great day in this shirt' kind of messy. And who could not have a great day in a top class shirt like this one??

What brought you back this fine sunny weekend? Hello to your stomach cramps and gastric gymnastics. Good Evening to the chest pains and the lung daggers. Good Morning to the subsequent cotton brain and zero attention span. Ah - there you are - the pins and needles in the face we've not seen these many a long month.
Sister Depression loves it so when you call in. It's company for her. She's been feeling a little neglected lately. Not as front and centre as she'd like. Is that why you dropped by? Your good deed for a friend in times of need?
You should be congratulated, you've perked her right up. She welcomes you with open arms.
Much as I hate to be inhospitable to such a long held acquaintance, and with full acknowledgement of all we've meant to each other in the past, you can fuck right off.

It's hard to photograph something this scooty.
We've been trying for a while to get a rescue puppy, but none of those places would give a dog to a family with children under five. Which I guess is a good general rule. Rose has come from a long and distinguished line of highly trained working gun dogs. We've met her parents and her brothers and sisters. We spent a long time with them all on Saturday morning while we were seeing if there was one that suited us.
She's 8 weeks. Noon yesterday she'd never had a ball. Now she knows that if you push it, it rolls. And you can chase it. And you can make people roll it for you.
She's been very busy this morning. I left the back door open while i was in the kitchen. I now have nine sticks and a large snail.
The only time she's cried so far is when P went off to nursery this morning. She became instantly devoted, following her around the house and garden, stopping when she stopped, running when she ran, trying to get on the trampoline when while she bounced. (She also got slightly upset when the big old cat snuk onto her blanket in the sunny spot in the garden yesterday afternoon. She barked about two inches from his nose but was ignored, so went to hide under the table for a bit)
She is also a most discerning collector of things. Tissues, shoes, soft toys, plastic play food from the fisher price kitchen - all found in her bed this morning. Next to her hot water bottle.
We have yet to work out the optimum system for babygates/cat access to cat food etc. All tips welcome. Will try to take some better pictures - maybe even with the camera rather than my phone.

Author: Aislinn Kerry
Length: 16,000 words
Publisher: Amber Allure
Genre: m/m/m contemporary romance
Rating: C+
In high school, Alex, Matt, and Gavin had been an inseparable trio, but all that changed when Matt and Alex started dating, and Gavin turned his back on both of them. Now in their late twenties, Alex and Matt are still together, but years of routine have worn their relationship into a rut.
When Alex unexpectedly runs into Gavin during a boys-night-out for the first time since high school, he's shocked to realize just how hot the other man has become. Alex loves Matt, but he can't deny his attraction to Gavin. And the more the three friends reconnect, the more Alex starts to suspect that the unrequited crush that drove Gavin away isn't quite a thing of the past that they thought it was.
And that crush might not have been as unrequited as it originally seemed, either. In fact, Gavin might be just the breath of fresh air that Alex and Matt need to breathe new life into their struggling relationship…if their hearts can survive it…
I'm always attracted to a m/m/m and so when this appeared, I snatched it up. It's more of an erotic interlude between an established couple and a past friend, with a hint of a HFN at the end. In actual fact the ending felt a little forced to me and I would have liked the story more had it been more of a 'we'll see' ending rather than a too-quick 'let's have a relationship'.
Alex and Matt have been together for years and are now in a comfortable, established relationship. Alex is dragged out to a strip club by his friend where he bumps into a former friend Gavin who works as a stripper/lap dancer at the club. When he gets home he tells Matt about Gavin and Matt has a definite interest in meeting Gavin again. When a joking comment leads to the couple thinking of inviting Gavin into their bed, they decide to approach Gavin and see whether he will agree.
There were things that worked and things that didn't work for me about this story. What did work was the easy relationship between Matt and Alex. Neither are the jealous sort and both are excited about including Gavin. The sex scene between the three men is very well written and captures both the awkwardness and excitement of such an encounter. The intensity of the interaction between Alex and Gavin in the first part of the story was also done very well and drew me quickly into the story.
What didn't work is that there was too much squeezed into this story. A lot of it happens off page, especially the reuniting and rekindling of the friendship between Matt and Gavin. As a result nothing is covered too deeply and the ending, as I said, feels tacked on and rushed. This story had the potential to be much longer because so much is left either unsaid or implied. This was a shame because the writing was excellent and the characters engaging.
Overall, then, I liked the story but it left me feeling like it had been a missed opportunity for a longer and better story.

text: The Economy, Talent, Collaboration and Consolidation discussed at NAC Page ContentBOMA's National Advisory Council (NAC), an exclusive network of senior commercial real estate professionals, and the Regional Owners Council (ROC), a network for owners or equity partners of single or regional market commercial real estate, gathered recently in California. The meeting focused on the economy, human resources and talent, as well as future trends that will impact commercial real estate. The top issues on attendees' minds: Talent Retention coupled with limited resources for salary adjustments and bonuses Future of the work force and how will it influence commercial real estate "Coopetition" (cooperation among competitors) An unnerving, uncertain economy Paul Adler, professor of Management and Organization, Marshall School of Business at USC, discussed the power of collaborative intelligence and the correlation between a highly structured company that has no new ideas to a highly entrepreneurial company that has incredible new ideas and energy but can't accomplish anything. There is a need for both in a successful company. (Harvard Business Review July-August 2011) Asieh Mansour, head of Research, Americas, CBRE Research Operations, predicted NO double dip recession, not because the economy is hitting on all cylinders but because you can't technically have a double dip recession unless it occurs within four quarters and we have had eight quarters of recovery. The typical recovery from a financial crisis takes three to five years. For her the rays of economic hope center on the fact that profits per employee are at an all-time high indicating hiring should begin, small businesses are beginning to access bank loans and are hiring, and the fact that the economy has deleveraged a lot. She sees office vacancy dropping to its natural rate of 13-15 percent by the first quarter of next year. Cushman & Wakefield's Frank Freda talked about a report out in New York saying the financial sector will consolidate its space needs by fully one third over the next decade, and there were several unresolved conversations about what new space needs will mean for existing space in the future. Predictions for growth sectors include: high tech manufacturing, social media, auto and equipment manufacturers, agriculture, biotech, and healthcare and education, which never really slowed. Steve Picarde, president of PI Midlantic, talked about the need for mixed recruiting tools in building staff teams. The overall turnover rate is 40 percent, of that the voluntary turnover rate is 23.4 percent. Who are all of these people leaving their jobs in this market? Shockingly, fifty percent of resumes contain fraudulent info. An interview alone is two percent better than a coin flip, partially because the interviewers are not any better at it than the interviewees, most decisions are made in the first five minutes of an interview. An assessment tool adds objective measures to the process. He also stressed that teams need a mix; you can't have ten strong personalities with the need to win. BOMA International leadership and staff attending included BOMA Chair Boyd Zoccola, BOMA President Henry Chamberlain and BOMA Vice President of Advocacy Karen Penafiel. Co-hosting the event were Wells Real Estate Funds' John Oliver for the NAC members and Kiemle & Hagood's Larry Soehren for the ROC members. Vornado/Charles E. Smith's Patrick Terrell will take over the NAC duties for the spring meeting. For more information on either the NAC or ROC go to www.boma.org/membership.

The dialogue with my Naderite friend continues.... My response to her feedback in the "Comments" section of yesterday's post follows:
Ms. K, I respectfully disagree with your contention that my blog sounds like I know all of the troubles of the world. Instead, I believe nearly the entire purpose of my posts involve one thing: stop-gap solutions, for lack of a better description. I have repeatedly stated (to you anyway) that Bush is so extremely bad that what's key right now for the sake of the country is to vote for a better alternative (a better pig?). NOT an ideal, super-duper candidate that has all the right answers to every issue (as I've said, much more so like Nader), but rather one that has a highly-credible chance of beating the truly, extremely awful GW/Cheney. (As much as you may think Kerry is headed to certain defeat, I got news for you: his neck-and-neck polling results versus Bush are at least a tad bit better than Nader's). It's really that simple.
This argument or clarification has more than once gone round the track, but again, the by-far major difference between us is our outlooks on the current political landscape. You/Nader find the two political parties 100% equivalent, both equally bad, toxic, etc., and therefore reject both in favor of Ralph. I disagree feeling that while there absolutely are serious problems with our party system, I find that at this point in our history, NOW is not the time to take an overly-idealistic stance regarding this matter. Thanks to the extremism of GW & Co., I do NOT believe as you and Ralph do that at this point in time the two parties are equal. The percentages do not matter, yet what DOES matter is I find the Dems less repugnant, less damaging, less harmful, less hypocritical, less religious (zealots), etc. etc. Therefore, Kerry (duh) gets my vote.
If we had a Republican Party currently running the show that was just mildly bad, still had moderates with some pull/voice, were at least somewhat reasonable, etc., than I would be much more so with your cause RIGHT NOW. As it is, and as I've said, I agree with nearly everything Ralph says and stands for -- BUT it's a matter of timing. Your railing on and on about how the Dems are just as bad on issue X (put in what you want) as the Repubs is well-meant and frequently accurate, but I believe ultimately misguided given what we may face as an alternative in the next four years.
Whichever one wins (Bush or Kerry), you'll be able to pop off for the next four years with "I told you so" indignation. In effect, you're really not taking a side (at least not a pragmatic one) but instead just effectively condemning and dismissing the whole kit and caboodle, leaving you free and clear to finger point and dictate. You know, I could easily do the same (again, I agree with Ralph) but choose not to for the reasons stated above. In the end, I truly believe I'm taking the more difficult stance / path. Lord knows my "pig" (Kerry) will be imperfect and will be a ripe target for criticism, but 1) I'd rather that imperfect pig over the other one (to use Animal Farm imagery), and 2) if Ralph were to win (!), you know, he'd be ripe for criticism also (he's not perfect!) -- I can elaborate on how this might be so.
Enough for now, but I have a feeling this endless debate will be repeated, fresh with new analogies, metaphors, etc.

Yeah, I've been asked, but I declined. It is time to describe what I've learned about polygamy Senegal style. First off, the legal stuff. A man may legally have up to 4 wives. When he marries the first one, and fills out the marriage license, he must at that time declare the number of wives we plans to have. He cannot change his mind later, legally. There is no penalty for an unfulfilled wife tally. However, should a man exceed his claim or limit, all subsequent wives have no claim on anything relevant, ever. It would seem the safe bet is to assume 4 wives from the beginning. Better to underachieve than underestimate?
Any of the wives may be the man's niece (daughter of a brother) or a first cousin. This is to preserve the family ties, which are held with the utmost regard in West African culture; family is life. Although side effects of incest are prevalent (crossed eyes, limb deformities, etc), they are dismissed as God's will.
A man usually takes his first wife in his late twenties. Traditions mandate that he is financially stable, and has a house (or at least space in the family compound) for him and the new bride to live in. Depending on the village, dowries must be paid- generally in cash or live stock form. First wife is forevermore the most important women of the household (that is unless Mom's still around). She will make all decisions relating to spending of finances for food and clothing and be the guardian of her husband's salary. She will give her husband as many children as possible (as birth control is completely unheard of both in African culture and the practice of Islam) until she becomes too tired.
Though I've generally heard the coming of the second wife described as a relief for the first one, who is no longer under continuous pressure to satisfy her husband, there have been occasions when she is not welcome. I talked to a woman once who was hurt that her husband said he loved another, younger women… but that there is nothing she can do about it. Second wife is a worker bee to the queen. She is tasked with all household chores of which first wife is tired. She will also produce as many children as possible.
Third and fourth wives are pretty much like the second; only hold less standing in the house hold. They also produce children and not only seem young in comparison to the husband, but truly are. I may have neglected to mention earlier that wives can be as young as early teens… and it doesn't seem to matter how old the husband is. It's as though every ten years the husband will find a new wife in her teens or early twenties and "start" a family all over again. Sometimes the wives all live together in one big compound- each wife getting a bedroom while their husband rotates around. Sometimes the families live in different towns… though the kids will take holidays to visit the other households.
As of recent, there's been significant pushes for young girls to stay in school through high school before marrying. There have also been campaigns for the idea of family planning, or spacing between child births, so as not to stress the mothers and pocketbooks. I've spoken to males of my generation who claim they want nothing to do with more than one wife, then chuckle and say one women is crazy enough… who would ask for more of that? But quite frequently men are persuaded because multiple families are a sign of wealth (like having multiple cars in the US???) so it remains to be seen what will happen with this take on marriage.
Trials and tribulations, thoughts and observations; all in what I hope to pass off as an exciting read.

"There was, of course, something one-sided in all this. [The Priority of imagination over reason.] I was oblivious of every aspect of truth except that which appealed to me. But at the same time I grasped a truth of great importance. I had realized the danger of abstract thought when it loses touch with the concrete realities of life, and I had discovered the truth of experience, which is mediated through the imagination, and which often gives a deeper insight into reality than abstract thought."

I walked into my son's room this morning and the first thing I noticed [besides those adorable chubby cheeks] was the drool on my son's bed.
You see, he drools every night and there is always a small wet spot on his bed in the mornings.
I did not alter this spot in any way before or after taking this picture. He really drooled in the shape of a perfect heart.
I snuggled that boy in my arms for at least 30 minutes before feeding him breakfast. There was no complaint from either party (usually a hungry boy complains and overturns my snuggling decision).
It was the perfect start to a good day.
I truly hope you had a good day too.
And that's how Suze sees it.

What the Apple Watch does best: Make you look good
There's a reason we don't wear the same clothes two days in a row...
It takes a lot of effort to keep changing clothes. I hear that.
Too many features that are too hard to find, if you ask me.
I can't tell you how many times my life has been needlessly complicated due to excessive features. Too many! Too hard! Enough said.
There are so many things the watch can do, so many menus and features you must spend time figuring out...
Too many things! Too many menus! Too many features! Too much time spent! That's time we will never get back.
When I ended up at Whole Foods—no phone, no wallet—I bought an iced latte by just tapping my wrist to the reader.
That was such a close call. At Whole Foods with no phone or wallet? Not being able to buy the iced latte? Oh, the humanity!
Actually snapping the sport band's little clasp to your wrist, however, makes you wish for a third hand.
What? This person went jogging without a personal assistant? Horrifying!
Even getting to the Exercise app is a challenge, it being one of many tiny circular icons on the watch's app screen that makes me wish my fingers were the size of toothpicks.
Wishes for fingers the size of toothpicks and yet the wish is not granted. I am filled with sadness.
But every time I gaze down to admire it, I start seeing how the next one will look better.
I have the same reaction with our dogs. No matter how much I admire them I can't help but imagine a world with even better dogs in it. Each hair is meticulously trimmed after being soaked in a daily lavender bath, and then once again I return them to the mantle above the fireplace to admire them endlessly. Such is the world of my imaginary taxidermy.
Unlike the Cartier I got for college graduation, the original Apple Watch's beauty will soon fade.
No amount of tissue can stop my tears. There are some things that when read, cannot be unread. I nervously await this evening, when the nightmares shall begin. :(

Label season again! I do them in word. The original was effortless .
.. A couple of years ago. Now that I have actually made deletions, it appears I
can't simply puttinged in another name & address in the erased (empty) spot.
Whether I utilize tab, room, or ctrl tab, the pointer visits the following label placement. Not at the top line, to begin with a label. Why is that? What's the solution?
Just what am I doing wrong? I considered simply producing another label layout.
Yet that appears a great deal of work vs an easy update.
Thanx anybody ...:).

The city grabs your eye and twists it until it cannot bear to understand. The impossible setting is a sight none will sharply forget. It's labyrinth of streets will lose the most organised of characters. The twist and turns of the simplest of alleys will take you somewhere untraveled. The city does not work too well with reason as it's absurd architecture stands proud, towering over the lake. It's intricate level of detail is indescribable as no exact set of words can evaluate what is happening. The city's wavy skyscrapers and markets create the impression of being in a magical world. The city hides among a layer of fog and so cannot be seen by the approaching sailors. The lake is littered with debris, but they themselves manage to blend within the waves, it is a sight to behold.
The city is surrounded by an 8 eight foot high metal fence. It's bar look near to full transparency from a distance, but once the city has been fully approached, it is clear that the city is imprisoned by itself. This creates the illusion, in the mind, of oncoming travellers that the city can be easily accessed, but as soon as you get close enough it grabs your attention and draws you in, and that is how you become a resident of this dark enigma of a city.
Upon reaching the entrance of this magnificent city, you begin to feel dizzy. The city is moving. You cannot begin to understand. Trying to put an explanation into what your eyes are gazing towards will lose you in a moment of near to insanity. We dare not question the city as the city evolves according to the seasons. During spring, the darkness of winter begins to fade and the buildings resume their ongoing growth towards the sky. The summer grabs the colour of the waves and splashes it onto the buildings ferociously. In the month of November, the extended summer concludes and welcomes the red breeze of autumn. The red, the yellows and the oranges all run at you screaming and so there is no way to escape this month long season. The robotic residents of the city adore the winter months. It is within this period where the city loses some of it's colourful charm and replaces it with the white of snow. It covers every little piece of the city. The snow does not want you to begin to understand the city, it wants you to feel the cold wind hitting the back of your neck while you squint into the foggy distance. The winter months' aim, therefore, is to make you want to escape it' series of mazes.
There are no children in this city. People do not get raised in this city. People do not get married in this city. The people wake up, go to work and come home. It's an 8am to 6pm routine 7 days a week. There is no moment to relax. The city need to run perfectly in order to maintain it's mystery as without the mystery will begin to fade.
In the centre of this asylum of a city stands the Crooked Theatre. The pillars at it's entrance lean into the streets, creating an obstacle for oncoming civilians. This theatre holds an obscure auditorium that has seats scattered all around the room in no understandable manner. There is no method in the madness of it's organisation. It was built to make the viewer uncomfortable. The theatre wants you to build emotions before the actors walk on stage. The red stage burns within your eye and makes you feel dizzy. You need to sit down. You take a chair. That is when the play begins.
In the distance, you may just manage to make out the lighthouse, which stands alone amongst the rocks. The red and white building can be seen best at night. It's extraordinary beam of light flies through your window and whacks you on the face, like a slap from the wind. It is at this moment where you feel warmth growing inside you and the pleasure of belonging to this magnificent city runs through your veins.

Portland, here we come. We decided to just get out on the road today and make our way over for Gene's 60th birthday celebration. The weather has been so crappy. We decided that if it just gets really bad on the road, we'll simply turn around and come back.
After 9 years of traveling together, we've really pared down our list of things to pack. We both have overnight bags and can throw them together in about 20 minutes. Today will be an interesting trip because we're first going up to Walla Walla to pick up Jasper and possibly his girlie-girl to bring with us. Jasper is a lot of fun and I think it will make our trip really interesting. There's nothing like trapping young people in a car to get their undivided attention.
I used to love to do that to Justin. He didn't really know that's what was happening but when things were not quite right in our lives, I'd just grab him and we'd go for a ride. He didn't have an iPod back then. I doubt taking a ride would be quite the same today. However, while he was here at T-day, I did ask him to help me make the bed they slept in and after we placed the comforter on it, he sat down on the bed and I sat on the floor and we got some mother-son time together. That was really precious for me. I love that kid. I love that he looks at me when he's talking and he listens when I talk. I can't tell you what we talked about although it's close to my heart and we told the truth and it was special.
I love that my son and his wife came for T-day and that they got to go back to their own lives. I don't know exactly when I let go of the idea that he's no longer a child but it helps that he has a partner who really loves him and they make decisions together. I asked him about going to do some things while they were here and he said, "let me talk to Amanda ...". Oh yeah, I thought, that's a really good idea.
Speaking of good ideas, I should get my bootie going. Road trip. It doesn't seem to matter how many times we make that trip over to Portland, I love going. I love the Columbia River, I love the sound of the wheels, I love the smell of fresh coffee pouring out of Gene's thermos, and today I suspect we'll have some laughs with Jasper along for the ride. Ta ta for now!
love, susan

I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about sound and how we respond to different types of sounds. Why is the screech of a crow less appealing than the sweet tweet of a robin? Why is one voice appealing to us and another completely unmoving? Most people would agree that the operatic sounds of Florence Foster Jenkins are less desirable than that of Renata Scotto. But why? Okay, I know, pitch is a factor and consistency in breath production, blah blah blah…yes, I took vocal pedagogy in school. But, let's compare two other voices. Why would someone love Leontyne Price over Eleanor Steber? Each one of these singers possesses outstanding qualities that put them in leagues way above the average singer, and yet there are still people who prefer Price to Freni. Okay, yes certain voice color and artistic expression is preferable to some and not a factor to others. The arguments could go on forever as to who has the best voice, and trust me, in some circles the arguments are still going on. To me it is like trying to count shades of light.
I have always thought of sound more as vibration than aural aesthetic. What I mean is, I like to feel sound rather than hear it. What I mean by that is, sound vibrations are more pleasing to me than simply listening to singing. When I listen to a singer and I can feel how that sound or vibration moves through their body then I connect to that singer. When I feel what they feel then I connect to them as well. I am not speaking necessarily of emotions derived from the text being sung. I can feel emotion with or without words and we know this well when we listen to symphonic works. I can be moved by the feel of a clarinet as well as a voice. What is that we are feeling? Why does is feel different for every person?
What we are feeling is vibration and energy and every being and object has it and every being and object is completely different. Is this too new-agey? Perhaps. But think for a moment about how sound is energy and has power in almost a magical sort of way. Think of sound as form and that it can affect other forms. What if you could hold sound in your hand or see it on a screen or watch it vibrate through water? Yes, pretty cool, huh? Well, we can. Enter stage left, the character , cymatics.
Cymatics isn't a new discovery. The mastermind Galileo knew about it. Cymatics is the study of vibrations and their visual effects on particles. In its early study it was done by vibrating a sheet of metal and watching small particles move around according to the frequency of the vibration. I used to watch cymatics and didn't even know it. I would stand and watch the saw dust move around from the vibration of my Granddaddy's skill saw and marvel at how it always moved to the same spot. Some of the particles were moving because of the vibrating machine, but there were some that moved on metal because of the high pitch of the saw. It's pretty cool stuff when you think about it.
Maybe we connect to certain sounds not just through our ears but through the vibrations that those sound make us feel. Or, we connect to those sounds because they vibrate us in a pleasing way. These sounds actually play us. Imagine that by listening to Beethoven that you are actually being stimulated by invisible massage hands. What a thought! I love thinking of sound this way and even more, singing. What if by singing we actually are vibrating people and spreading, oh my, good vibrations? (Sorry for that one, I couldn't resist.)
Take a look at this clip from Ted: Ideas Worth Spreading. Here creative technologist, Evan Grant, gives us examples of how sound actually vibrates shapes. He states, "Well for me, Cymatics is an almost magical tool. It's like a looking glass into a hidden world." I feel he is right. What does each bird look like according to sound? What shape does the robin make? What does the voice of Florence Foster Jenkins look like? What does Rap music look like? How does the look of all these sounds through cymatics compare to the actual enjoyment of that sound. Can I dislike rap music but like the look of the music as art through cymatics? What if Florence Foster Jenkins' cymatic picture is a brilliant work of art? Most importantly, what if sound is form and it does affect other forms? What does that mean for me as a singer? To me it means that we have the ability to change or alter people with our music. We know this to be true ultimately because we have experienced it at some point in our lives. We remember the first time we were moved by music but we didn't really know what was happening. But, now we can see it. Our sounds, our words, our sighs, and our exaltations have energy and vibrations that ripple out to others. That is our tsunami of healing magic.

My first round of revisions have been returned to my Ellora's Cave editor, and HOPEFULLY, I'll get my release date by the end of next week. I'm so excited!
(Pardon my enthusiasm, LOL.)
To celebrate, I decided to take the rest of the day off from writing and…clean. I know, I know. But my house was looking kind of–well, let's just say I'm glad DHS didn't come by, LOL. I tend to let my poor house go when I get into a writing-related spree.
Anyway, so I put my computers away, bribe the kidlets with ice cream to help me clean the living room, and just as I'm getting into the swing of things…
My power goes out. Again!
And no, before you ask, I'd paid my bill. My power goes out all the damn time. The wind blows too hard. The wind doesn't blow enough. It storms. It doesn't storm. In other words, there's no reason that I know of to explain the spontaneous power outages in my neighborhood.
So with no power, cleaning goes out the window, and the kidlets and I pack it up and head to my parent's house. And that was my day.
*rolls eyes*
Maybe tomorrow will be more productive.

Black-Eyed G
It's a sad story really, so I'll spare you the details. Let's just say it involved the regular mischief and a fall. In fact there's been a lot of that lately. Mischief.
Gav is TROUBLE. And he thinks it's all fun and games. His latest antics include filling his mouth with drinks (any drink-water, milk, juice) and spitting it out everywhere. The thing is, there's no telling when he's going to do it. Just whenever.
He also likes to destroy things. He will break Owen's creations, scatter neatly-folded laundry, push buttons that shouldn't be pushed, climb things that shouldn't be climbed, and basically take apart the house tornado-style.
And worst of all, the scribbling. He's written on tables, walls, windows, himself. Just this week while I was changing a load of laundry he wrote with an inkpen on four separate cushions of our couch. I spent a good part of the morning cleaning it up. Luckily it all came out, but I fear for our furniture.
It's exhausting trying to keep up with him. And so far the time-outs don't seem to phase him much. When I give him the "no-no" talk, he smiles and replies, "OK Mama." He even looks remorseful. Then he proceeds to wreak havoc on something else in a happy-go-lucky way.
Wondering if the black eye incident will slow him down. Doubtful.

Our two year old likes to hit,kick and pull the hair of his four sisters. I tried putting him in time out on a bench but she would usually get off or climb under it. Now we have a port a crib set up downstairs and I put him in it for time out. He calls it his time out crib. He does not like it since he can't get out but it has helped reduce the amount of hitting he does.

It's All About Knowing Your Bracelet Size
Your Bracelet Size
Shopping for bracelets is much straight forward if you know your correct wrist size. When you shop for bracelet you really want it to fit properly.
Majority of women feel really comfortable wearing a bracelet that is 7 to 7½ inches in size, which is actually the standard size.
Bracelets are meant to hang between your hand and wrist bone, which is the most attractive position.
Your Wrist Sizing
Below is a step by step instruction on how to measure your wrist properly so you can be sure your bracelets are of accurate fit.
When measuring for bracelets, measure tightly where your wrist is the broadest. Measure your wrist with a flexible, soft tape
measure just below the wrist bone (below the wrist bone is the area between your hand and the wrist bone). This is your actual
wrist size, not your bracelet size.
Add approx. ¼ inches up to 1 inch (½ inch is average) to your actual wrist size, this is your approximate bracelet size. The more
you add to your wrist size the more your bracelet will hang lower to your hand.
Using a flexible measuring tape*, Measure just above (towards elbow) the wrist bone, then add approx ¼ inch to 1 inch (½ inch is
average) depending on how tight you like your bracelets to fit. That is the size bracelet you would wear.
*Tip: If you don't have a tape measure handy, use a strip of paper or thin string, and mark it where it overlaps on your wrist. Then
lay the strip flat to measure up to the mark using any ruler.
Why it's important to use a flat tape measure or small string or strip of paper?
With bracelets the actual length is not what is a concern, it's the inner circumference when latched shut. That's because the beads
themselves take up space on the inside circumference. That makes making the inside measurement smaller than the length when
laid out flat. What is needed to actually wear a bracelet or anklet is for the inner measurements to match the outer circumference
of your wrist or ankle. That's why it is important use a tape measure, strip of paper, or small string — it's not bulky, so the inner
circumference is virtually the same as the lengthy when laid flat.
Using bulky things to measure (like large beaded bracelets and thick chains, etc.) causes the problem. The length when laid flat
not being the same as the inner circumference when worn.
Standard Bracelet Sizes
6.5 inches = Small Woman's Wrist
7 inches = Average woman's wrist
8 inches = Average man's wrist or woman with large wrist
9 inches = For man with large wrist
9.5 inches = For man with a very large wrist
1 inch = 2.54 cm
When measuring for bracelets that roll over your hand, measure tightly where your hand is the broadest.

We will update our Cromwell Camp on Monday but we wanted to make a special post to our friends at Heliview in Cromwell.
On Tuesday while biking from Cromwell to Bannockburn we had one bike break down. After a couple of phone calls we were talking to the guys at Heliview who generously offered to bring a bike out to us for us to complete our journey.
As the track has slightly limited road access in places it was great to see Richard riding the bike in to us and then walking the broken bike out.
We think we have a great community spirit Waitahuna but totally overwhelmed by the kindness and friendliness shown by all Cromwell people, especially the guys at Heliview. www.heliview.co.nz
If you would like a flight around Central Otago we would definitely recommend these guys.
(Camp update to follow...soon)
